Chapter 372: Compiled into a book

Liu Lan took over the iron bow from the head of the workshop, the cold bow body and the elastic bowstring actually gave him the feeling of a platinum bow, but in this way, the two-stone five-bucket bow is too demanding for strength, you must know that not everyone can open the two-stone five-bucket bow. 《. Can our craftsmen be more refined and tailored to human strength?

Liu Lan said his thoughts, it's not impossible, it's just a test of production speed, when the head of the workshop said his difficulties, Liu Lan looked at Yan Rou, hoping that he could have a practical way to solve this problem, but this test is too big for Yan Rou, Liu Lan can only give up such an idea for the time being, but when he returned the iron bow to the hand of the head of the workshop, his heart moved, he thought about it, laughed, and said: "Since the workshop assembly line production can also improve the time, For example, if there are 30 people who can open 2 stone and 5 bucket bows, we will first build 30 2 stone and 5 bucket bows, and there are 20 people who can open 2 stone and 4 bucket bows, and then wait for 30 2 stone and 5 bucket bows to be built and then make every effort to build these 2 stone and 4 bucket bows, can we always maintain production efficiency? ”

Liu Lan said what he thought in his heart, which made all the craftsmen move, if this is the case, it will not delay the production speed, and it can also achieve the tailor-made effect that Sima said, which will make every soldier exert his greatest energy.

"Okay, I'll do my best to arrange this." Liu Lan saw that all the craftsmen agreed that there was no opposition, so he made a decision, but before leaving, he took the iron bow from the hand of the workshop leader and asked them if there were any arrows here. The head of the workshop took out a bag, and now the workshop has more items to produce. This is also the reason why he is limited by the mine, but in the future, he wants to divide it into three institutions, from iron-making to iron-making to weapon-building. It's not like it's all nested together like it is now, and it's not easy to manage the mess.

Liu Lan mentioned this matter to Yan Rou at the moment, and asked him to choose a location to start preparing, looking at Sima Yan Rou, who remembered that a stubble was a stubble, and he could only say a word, and when he wrote it down, he saw Sima bend his bow and arrow, aim at an open space in the house, and shoot the arrow in his hand with a whoosh after aiming.

Accurately shot at the wooden wall, and after confirming the accuracy, Liu Lan turned to the craftsmen with satisfaction and said, "The iron bow you played is very good, but what I want to tell you is that in the future, you will not only build iron bows and farm tools. There are also all kinds of weapons, maybe one day, I will use the blades made from your hands to fight the Hu people, so I need you to be proficient in your craft, there must be no mistakes, we all live on the border, the Hu people will come at any time, to protect the safety of our homeland, we need more than just iron bows. We also need more weapons, and only such advanced, sharp weapons can shock our enemies, do you have confidence! ”

"Yes. Yes!! ”

Not only Yan Rou and Zhang Fei, but all the craftsmen shot a fiery edge in their eyes, in the Han Dynasty. They were artisans who were discriminated against, and some were even prisoners. But after coming to the mine, they really felt that freedom and equality were not easy to come by. For Sima, they believe more than gods.

After leaving the workshop, Yan Rou followed Sima to his residence, for the simple reason of increasing the production of the mine.

"What were you going to say on the way?" Liu Lan asked after motioning for Yan Rou to sit down.

"Sima, do you really plan to refine the blade?"

"Exactly, what's wrong?"

Yan Rou said sadly: "Originally, the steel output produced by our mine was enough to use (one pound per day), but if you want to build an iron bow and ask to increase the output, I want to increase our existing steelmaking mill, even if we increase the mining volume, so that the iron ore reserves of our mine will reach saturation, once the iron bow can be all caused, the iron ore is likely to be depleted, you must know that the amount of iron ore in our mine is limited, if the iron ore is depleted, it will be a big blow to the mine, At that time, even if there was a food supply in Black Wind Mountain to achieve self-sufficiency, we were really subject to others, which was contrary to your plan, so it was best not to build a blade, otherwise, we would have to buy iron ore, but at that time, where would we raise money, and even if we could raise money, where would we go to buy these iron ores. ”

This is his negligence, I thought that the amount of iron ore in the mine reserves was amazing, but the Xianbei people got a lot in the mine back then, and now it costs a lot to build farm tools, plus more than a thousand pure iron bows on the horse, the mine is a bottomless pit that will also be hollowed out, but this incident is a reminder to Liu Lan, that is, once the mine is depleted of iron ore, where is the way out in the future?

Liu Lan's head swelled a little when he thought about it, rubbed his temples, and said: "Now step up the exploration around the mine, if you can find a new vein, it's best, if you can't find it, let go of the iron bow matter first, I don't want the mine to be subject to the Black Wind Mountain, this will never work!" Liu Lan said categorically: "If you can't find a new vein, then let the dragoons use the Tan Bow for the time being." ”

"Well, that's not the way to do it." Yan Rou sighed, where is this iron ore so easy to find, but he didn't say this sentence.

"By the way, Junhe (Yan Rou's character) about the progress of training craftsmen in Bogu, and how about the implementation of the situation that you have compiled the iron-smelting skills into a book for new craftsmen to learn?"

"This Sima can rest assured, according to your instructions, the matter of cultivating craftsmen in Ouyeel Bogu has always been very attentive, at least one hour a day Brother Bogu will come to the workshop to guide and teach some superb skills to craftsmen, and these trained craftsmen I have proposed that each person must accept five apprentices, at first these people were still a little resistant, but since they have seen Brother Bogu's superb skills, they have readily agreed, and although the craftsmen have not revealed their true skills, However, in the eyes of the boy, this elementary book is more useful to the new craftsmen in the workshop than those esoteric, after all, they are already ignorant about iron smelting, just like a student who goes to read the scriptures without learning in a hurry, and will only be at a loss, so the enthusiasm of these new craftsmen is unprecedentedly high, and they obey Sima's meaning, and use the shape of pictures and texts (the picture is based on the old master's personal experiment for the new craftsmen to watch and copy), so the effect is very good. ”

Liu Lan nodded, Yan Rou's work was still steady and reassuring, which made him very satisfied, so he naturally praised him without hesitation. (To be continued......)
