Chapter 503: All-round development

To this end, Li Yi asked Lu Lizhan to personally go to the Tokyo Shanfu in Dali, and used his connections to invite two master craftsmen who had made weapons for the Great Yi Ningguo for a long time, and asked them to personally guide the weapons production of the weapons workshop, which made the quality of weapons significantly improved.

At the same time, Li Yi asked Lin Jin to take time out of his time to design and install two blast furnaces specially used for steel smelting, and the quasi-molten steel produced had few impurities and high quality, which made a qualitative breakthrough in weapon materials, and the quality of weapons and various agricultural tools made by this has improved by leaps and bounds.

In this way, it was not only able to provide high-quality weapons to the armies of Yunnan and Zhenxiong, but also popularized high-quality agricultural tools to neighboring countries, and obtained extremely high market benefits.

In just a few months, the "Jin Shuisheng" brand ironware has become famous, such as kitchen knives, scissors, boning knives, axes, sickles, iron plows, hoes, guillotine knives and other utensils, which have been exported to the capital and other places, and even Chu State, Shu State, Southern Tang Dynasty and other places have come to buy from thousands of miles, almost to the point where supply exceeds demand.

The military folding shovel specially developed by Li Yi's design is divided into three specifications: large, medium and small, because it is easy to use and carry, and the quality is excellent, not only is it equipped in large quantities in the army, but even the civilian people are hard to find, and even to the point that they may not be able to get it if they buy it at a higher price.

In addition, in view of the complex terrain and mountainous characteristics of Yunnan, Li Yi deliberately designed a large number of simple rock climbing equipment, which was created by Jin Shuisheng, including climbing picks, hand hammers, various locks, figure-eight ring descenders, pulleys, automatic locks and other climbing equipment. But Li Yi's purpose in creating these equipment will not be sold publicly, nor will it be handed over to the Yunnan army for use, but can only be specially equipped for the children in the secret camp.

For those children who have grown up strongly, their individual abilities have increased day by day. Although they had already obtained a large number of Nanzhao weapons, they still lacked sharp and handy short blades.

Therefore, Li Yi asked Lin Zongyi, the old fort owner, in the name of Lin Jiabao, to buy a large number of agricultural tools, and order 600 daggers and spunlaces that sharpen iron like mud, as well as hundreds of military shovels of various specifications, so that the children's equipment is much richer.

Due to the rapid improvement of steel quality, Lin Jin also applied steel axles to the new four-wheeled carriage, which greatly improved the quality and sturdiness of the vehicle. In addition, especially under the auspices of Li Yi, the steel spokes with sufficient elasticity were developed, and the friction brake system with handle type was installed, which made great progress in the stability, safety and load of the vehicle, so that the damage rate of the vehicle was reduced by as much as ninety.

Of course, this new type of vehicle is also very popular among the people, and 130 units were sold in the first month, while the number of orders has exceeded 500 units, and this is only the purchase volume of Ningzhou. If the whole of Yunnan, or even exported to the capital and the surrounding neighboring countries, I am afraid it will be an astronomical number.

It's just that the current production capacity is not enough, and the variety is only a single four-wheeled carriage carrying four people. In the future, I would like to expand the scale of production and expand the variety of vehicles. Four-wheeled carriages were produced in two series of six varieties, including small carriages carrying four people, medium carriages carrying six people, large carriages carrying eight people, and three types of carriages carrying different cargos.

If it can produce 300 vehicles per month, and each vehicle is calculated at an average price of 500 yuan, it will be able to have an income of 150,000 yuan per month, and a net profit of 50,000 or 60,000 yuan after the cost is removed.

The Ningzhou official kiln under the auspices of Wang Dingguan has hired as many as three or four hundred workers, including many masters of porcelain burning from all over the world, and even some are potters and their descendants of the official kiln in the Tang Dynasty, which is also the thriving Ningzhou kiln invited by heavy money.

Through more than a year of running-in, the porcelain fired in Ningzhou kiln has attracted merchants and nobles from near and far by virtue of its unique style, simple shape, exquisite craftsmanship, and endless color and charm, and is deeply loved by people from all over the world.

In order to seek innovation and change, and constantly enrich the variety of colors, Li Yi sat in the kiln for a few days, personally designed porcelain varieties for them, discussed the porcelain formula and screening methods, and put forward the development idea of enriching the glaze color system and expanding the variety of utensils. Due to the single glaze color and the small variety of porcelain, the porcelain of this era can only be used as a household utensil, and only the court and the wealthy can use it to enjoy the porcelain boutique.

Therefore, Li Yi proposed to let Wang Dingguan and the experienced and pioneering potters devote themselves to research, continuous research and experimentation, and finally fired a variety of yellow, blue, blue, green, purple, brown and other multi-color porcelain, especially the white porcelain and black porcelain inherited from the Tang Dynasty are even more refined, and have reached the category of exquisite artworks.

And the most eye-catching thing is the development of porcelain function. Li Yi borrowed from the types and styles of porcelain in the past dynasties, and developed porcelain from household and practical to functional and ornamental, and developed ornamental porcelain such as vases, showers, plates, pen washes, plum bottles, wine jugs, kettles, and ornamental porcelain with different shapes.

In addition, Li Yi also asked Ningzhou kiln to process and fire containers for Lin Qingliang's 'Zhenghe Beauty Workshop', and all perfume and cream cosmetics were fired for various porcelain categories of different specifications, which were both beautiful and practical, which greatly improved the grade and image of 'Zhenghe Beauty Workshop'.

And the Ningzhou Firearms Workshop is undoubtedly an industry that Li Yi is most concerned about. Because the wisdom of Chen Qi and Xi Guan has surpassed Li Yi's imagination of this era, under their painstaking research and development, not only the gunpowder formula has been greatly improved, the power has increased exponentially, and the most important thing is that the fuse used on firearms has come out. With this advanced fire-initiating object, the scope of application of firearms has suddenly been greatly expanded.

As long as a short fuse is lit and thrown out, it can form enough lethality within a radius of more than ten meters, and if it is filled with sharp iron nails or iron pieces and other items, the damage range will be virtually expanded a lot.

It's just that this kind of black powder can only be ignited and detonated by ignition, and the power of the gunpowder explosion itself cannot form fatal damage, but needs to rely on the iron nails and iron pieces filled in it to form armor-piercing damage. And Li Yi is already very satisfied with this, as long as it can achieve the effect of making the other party lose its combat effectiveness, it is enough.
