Chapter Ninety-One: Invention and Creation

'Knowing that you have small breasts, don't shout all over the world...... What kind of system does the girl's family become? After Ma Chao left the courtyard where the senior prisoners were kept, he did not go back to his room, but turned and walked towards the iron shop.

Jia Xu and Yang Fu, the two masters and apprentices, are sorting out and reviewing those reports, and I believe that after tomorrow, there will be only one report left in those reports: the report written by Jia Xu and Yang Fu, which will write all the problems of Fufeng County in detail.

As a leader - well, yes, Ma Chao has always positioned himself this way - Ma Teng will be the shopkeeper, because he doesn't understand government affairs at all; But Ma Chao is different, he wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper with technical content.

The most important point of a wise leader is not to be meticulous, fair in judgment, wise and versatile, etc., but to know and employ people!

A wise leader cannot get bogged down in a chaotic and chaotic work. Let those who are talented under you share their own work. I only need to manage those people well, and put forward the general policy and strategy for the future development of the group, so that every force in the group can be carried out in accordance with the policy and strategy, then we can unite people's hearts and create brilliance.

Especially Ma Chao, who also has the leadership of leading technology and ideas in the future. If he had personally reviewed the reports, how would he have the energy and time to invent? How do you have the energy and energy to formulate policies and strategies? How can they have the energy and time to reform the system at the end of the Han Dynasty? How can you have the energy and time to grab talents and pick up girls......

So, a leader like me is a truly wise leader!" On the way, Ma Chao affirmed himself like this.

When I arrived at the iron shop, it was still the same as before. The difference is that those craftsmen already know Ma Chao's identity and are even more in awe of Ma Chao.

And some of the bold slaves even glanced at Ma Chao a few times from time to time to see what was different about this young master of Fufeng, and why he always wanted to come to this kind of forging house that their slaves couldn't stand it.

Ma Chao didn't say hello to those craftsmen, with their identities, if they spoke out rashly, they might make these craftsmen lose their minds, and if they didn't do well, they would even cause work-related injuries. After all, the hierarchical thinking of feudal society has been deeply imprinted in the blood and bones of these humble craftsmen. As I am, it is not suitable to talk to these craftsmen. At most, when you need their services, you won't let them be so intimidated.

At this time, Ma Chao saw that those blacksmiths were opening the furnace to make some weapons. After a strong blacksmith lit the firewood, he aimed a leather bag at the mouth of the stove and squeezed it vigorously.

It was a strange thing, thick in the middle and thin at the ends, so crudely sewn that it looked like an accordion, and the craftsmen laboriously squeezed and stretched the skin, pulling and closing, but the air flow against the mouth of the furnace was pitifully small. It is very time-consuming and laborious, and it is not efficient.

Ma Chao probably understood, this is probably the blower equipment in ancient times, which is the Lu Gong written in ancient books. Ma Chao wondered in his heart, didn't he even have a wooden bellows at this time?

At this time, the craftsman seemed to see Ma Chao's presence, maybe he was acting harder, or maybe he was afraid of being beaten, so he simply picked up the blowtorch and blew it on the stove.

"No!" Ma Chao hurriedly shouted: Just kidding, that will burn people!

"Young master!" The blacksmith was immediately frightened, and fell to his knees, crying out for mercy. The other craftsmen also stopped their work and fell to their knees, not daring to make a sound to intercede for his blacksmith.

"Get up, go on, I just have something to ask the blacksmith." Ma Chao was helpless and ordered those craftsmen to get up. Then he asked the blacksmith, who was still on his knees, "Why don't you use this dragon?" ”

"The young master doesn't know, it's not that the villain is lazy and refuses to use this dragon, but because this dragon is very difficult to use. This one is good, but the others are so dilapidated that they leak everywhere, and some are completely ruined. And even if it is, it is not as effective as the villain using a blowtorch. ”

"Oh?" Although Ma Chao doesn't understand iron smelting, he also knows that temperature is a key part of forging. In addition to fuel and furnace type of temperature control, the most important thing is the blower equipment.

"Then why don't you use bellows to blow the air?" After Ma Chao opened his mouth, he immediately regretted it: The bellows thing seems to have only existed after the Song Dynasty, right?

Sure enough, the blacksmith looked dazed, more innocent than Ma Chao's expression before he deceived Han Ying.

Ma Chao didn't talk nonsense, he directly pulled out an unburned charcoal from the fire, and used his clumsy brushwork to draw a strangely shaped rectangular object on the ground.

The bellows are piston blowers, one pull and one pull, piston movement, saving time and effort, and although the blower performance is not as good as the electric blower, it is much stronger than this broken bag. Ma Chao carefully recalled the old-fashioned bellows used by the popcorn master in his previous life: a rectangular wooden box, an air outlet on the side, and two air inlets at both ends, blocked by movable small pieces of wood. In the middle is a two-rod shaft, and the piston is two plates with chicken feathers on four sides, and there are two square mouths in the middle, which are sleeved on the double shaft......

It seems that it will take a lot of effort to draw them all. Ma Chao drew and painted, changed and changed, how could he draw this meaning clearly, no way, this kid is not a science student, let alone trained in cartography!

"Forget it, you go down first." Ma Chao was so frustrated that he wiped the messy picture, in fact, it is no wonder that Ma Chao first drew a three-dimensional drawing, and then drew a flat anatomical drawing, the more he draw, the more chaotic it became, and finally it was a line. I thought that I should go directly to Han Feng and ask him to get all the materials and find a few carpenters, and I could make them on the spot.

Seeing that the blacksmith went in fear, when Ma Chao left, he added: "Remember, don't use a blowtorch to blow the stove again, so as not to burn yourself." ”

And the blacksmith suddenly listened to this, and was stunned, but after a long time, his eyes were filled with tears, and he knelt down to Ma Chao's figure, and shouted in his mouth: "The young master is merciful!" ”

It's a pity that Ma Chao didn't hear the blacksmith's gratitude, along the way, Ma Chao thought about the reform and shock brought by the birth of the bellows, and couldn't help grinning: "Bellows! My lovely baby, I, Ma Chao, will rely on you to inject impetus into the take-off of the Ma family's iron industry. I'm afraid that other princes would never have dreamed of such a cross-century invention, right!? ”

Ma Chao didn't know that his future series of inventions and reforms all started from this bellows. He didn't know what kind of earth-shaking changes his future inventions and political, military, and economic reforms would bring to this era.
