The brick kiln was built five miles away from the mutual market, and the work of building the kiln seems to be very high, but it is not difficult to really start construction. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the skill, building a brick kiln is even simpler than building a house.

The only thing that is difficult to solve is the problem of chimneys, you must know that the common brick kilns in later generations have to be thirty or forty meters high just for chimneys, which is a bit difficult in the Tang Dynasty when there were no tower cranes and no scaffolding.

Han Yue rummaged through almost all the drawings sold by the system, and finally he found a way to burn bricks without a chimney.

Circulating kilns!

The appearance of this kiln resembles a long row of pillboxes, the height is less than five meters, but the length is two hundred zhang. The biggest advantage of the circulating kiln is the ability to recycle the burning of bricks, and it can build twenty caves, each of which can be ignited separately.

Ignition alone is the burning of one kiln and one kiln, and each kiln mouth is extinguished after the fire enters the cooling period, which does not affect the other kilns to continue firing.

The circulating kiln is more fuel-efficient than the vertical kiln, which is the direct embodiment of the assembly line operation in later generations, which was unheard of in the entire Tang Dynasty, and many people who had experience in firing kilns simply shocked Han Yue as a celestial.

"Our Hou Ye is amazing, and he can come up with such a magical method. Listen, the circulating kiln, the name alone reveals a novelty......"

"That's, or it's Hou Ye!" A man next to him frowned, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Have you heard?" A new treasure has been added to the Hou Ye's warehouse, and Uncle Tian, who is guarding the warehouse, said that it is called a sapper shovel, which can be exchanged for only two points, and I am going to get a handful to use. ”

"Sapper shovel? Is it something newly created by Hou Ye? Isn't it awesome? Liu Laosan was clearing the snow on the place where the kiln was built, and he couldn't help but ask when he heard the words.

The man glanced at him and said, "It's so powerful, it's like cutting iron like clay." Our Hou Ye is willing to cut whatever he does, and this sapper shovel is made of stainless steel, which is harder than the Mo knife used in the army. Yesterday I heard that General Wei Chi was not convinced, and used his treasure knife given by His Majesty to cut against the sapper shovel, but the sapper shovel of our marquis was unharmed, but General Wei Chi's treasure knife was knocked out of a gap, and he was distressed all day with a gloomy face, and no one talked to him. ”

Hiss -

Liu Laosan gasped, he looked at the shovel in his hand, and suddenly a handful was still underground, and said loudly: "Donkey Day, this point is gone, I'll go and change to a sapper shovel first." As long as the tools are good, you can produce results in your work, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to earn points in the future. ”

He spoke to many!

The people all know that Han Yue has many original systems, such as contribution points, such as piecework income. Hou Ye hired people to work not on a daily basis like other families, but on the basis of work output, which greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the hired workers. No one is going to grind, everyone is trying their best.

For example, in the case of building a kiln, it is first necessary to clear the snow and dig up the clay, first use the clay to make adobe bricks to build a simple small kiln, and then use the bricks fired by this small kiln to build a large kiln. This work process takes about half a month, and although Han Yue gave everyone a reward of five points, this is only the basic salary.

Potters want to work more because they get an extra point for every car of clay they dig, and that's when tools are so important.

Liu Laosan wanted to change the sapper shovel, and the others also had this thought, and hundreds of craftsmen suddenly shouted and shouted: "Go together!" Two points for a sapper shovel, just dig a few more trucks of clay to pay off, this price is simply too cheap. ”

It's really cheap, two points and a sapper shovel, but it can knock General Wei Chi's treasure knife into the mouth. You must know that the treasure knife is a gift from His Majesty, and its value must be very high, although the potters will not calculate the accounts, but they will compare. Our marquis's sapper shovel can even cut down the treasure knife, no matter how you look at it, you feel that these two points are cheap.

These days, everyone is working hard, everyone has saved a lot of points in their hands, and it really doesn't hurt to exchange two points for a good tool.

Just as the potters were clamoring to change the shovels, a sharp-eyed guy suddenly shouted, "Look, there's a cart over there." The leader rode a white-haired old donkey, as if it was our marquis. ”

"Our lord is here?" Everyone was shocked, Liu Laosan stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw several big cars appearing half a mile away, trudging the snow-covered road.

In front of the convoy, a young man was riding a donkey with his hands on his sleeves, who was not Han Yue.

"It's really our Hou Ye!" Liu Laosan shouted and said to everyone: "Everyone hurry over to help, Hou Ye came with a convoy, either to send us food or wine, but don't dare to let him freeze on the road." ”

The potters snorted, spread their feet and began to run, and soon met Han Yue's convoy.

When I got closer, I found that there were five of Hou Ye's convoys, the first car in front was full of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the second car in the back was full of marching meat wrapped in oil paper. The third car in the middle was the most gluttonous, and it actually contained a full twenty jars of wine.

I heard that it was because Hou Ye was worried that the people in the north would not be able to endure the suffering, so he specially abandoned ten carts that pulled grain and replaced the grain with spirits.

The blizzard was raging outside the gates, but Hou Ye was never willing to take a sip of wine to warm his body, and he didn't expect to bring a big car to everyone today.

Many potters had tears in their eyes.

Liu Laosan set his eyes on the last two carts, and after a glance, he was ecstatic, pointing to the cart and said in a trembling voice: "Could this be a sapper shovel?" ”

After his reminder, a few more people turned their heads to look at the cart behind them, and saw a strange steel shovel neatly stacked on the cart. The handle of the shovel was painted red, and the tip of the shovel was shiny and black, so you could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary tool.

Han Yue smiled and said, "I know that everyone is thinking about this, so I asked people to pull two carts over." This time the task of building the kiln mouth is very urgent, the sapper shovel can not only speed up the construction progress, but also save everyone's physical energy, each of you go over to get one. When he said this, he suddenly blinked, and said with a little humor: "This time it's my local tyrant who supports everyone for free, and if you want to receive it in the future, you have to exchange points for it, and the landlord's family has no surplus food......

"That's not going to work!" Liu Laosan said solemnly: "Master Hou, your baby is also built out of your own pocket, and everyone can take out two points, and this sapper shovel must not be in vain." ”

"It's just that, it only takes half a day to dig a cart of clay with this thing by hand, and then you won't be able to earn points. We have received Hou Ye's wishes, but it is not possible to distribute them for free. Everyone is a man with hands and feet, and if you want to baby, you can earn it yourself, and you must not take advantage of you in vain. ”

Han Yue laughed, waved his hand to stop everyone from talking, and quipped, "Then wait until you all make a fortune in the future before you pay me back." ”

He glanced into the distance and found that the snow in the place where the kiln was built had been cleared, and then said: "Very good, your progress is very fast, if it continues at this rate, the first kiln will be lit in ten days, and then the marquis will definitely have a drink with everyone." But you also know that I can't drink enough, so if anyone dares to pour me wine, don't blame me for turning my face......"

Everyone laughed honestly, Liu Laosan scratched his head, and suddenly came over and said: "Master Hou, I see that you have recruited 400 potters, plus more than 1,000 apprentices, this team is a bit huge." In the early stage, in order to build a mutual market, you can do this, but what can you do after the construction of the mutual market? We are not willing to leave this good job of earning points. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Han Yue glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Ben Hou will tell you the truth, I want to build a huge city outside this pass, which will not only far surpass the Central Plains, but also shock the Northland. More than 1,000 people can burn as many bricks a day, and you may have to do this work for ten or eight years. ”

Build a huge city and burn bricks for ten or eight years? The kiln workers looked at each other, and Liu Laosan grinned and said: "I know that Master Hou is a big spender, and I will never be afraid of running out of work from now on." I don't know anything in my life, so I'll burn a good kiln. Hou Ye, don't worry, as long as I am Liu Laosan, I will ensure that every kiln is a good brick. ”

Han Yue laughed, pointed at him and said meaningfully: "It's not okay to burn bricks just by doing it!" Ben Hou has already thought about it, when the prototype of the mutual market is built, you craftsmen will have to go to study and study, and I have a few better things that you need to burn......"

Is there something better to burn? What is that?

Liu Laosan and the others were very curious in their hearts, itching like a cat scratching.

Han Yue's face was mysterious, he couldn't say words such as cement, glass, and white porcelain now, which all represented huge amounts of money.
