Chapter 552: Cloth Workshop, Repeating Crossbow
Lu Bu smiled: "Ben Hou remembers that Cheng Tie's favorite thing is to build armor, right?" ”
"My lord, the dog is not a weapon, but in recent years, he has fallen in love with building equipment, and often follows Ma Jun's side." Cheng Laohan hated iron and glared at Cheng Tie beside him.
"In this case, let's divide the craftsman's workshop into three parts first, and the matter of creating armor will be in charge of Lord Cheng for the time being, and the conclusion will be made after finding a suitable candidate, but Lord Cheng will also have to worry a lot about the other two things." Lu Budao.
"Whoa." Cheng Laohan arched his hand and said, he didn't want Cheng Tie to be responsible for building armor, but the craftsman who can't get his skills will not be respected, which is also recognized by the craftsman's workshop, he often sighs, he originally had three sons, the eldest son was obsessed with martial arts, and the second son died in Luoyang, but the youngest son likes to strike iron, and he is also dedicated to cultivating, in the creation of armor, Cheng Tie is still doing well, I don't know which tendon is wrong, and he actually ran to follow Ma Jun to build equipment.
"What's so hard about the craftsman's workshop?" Lu Bu asked.
"My lord, Lord Mi said, now the price of iron is getting more and more expensive, and the state only relies on buying iron from other princes, which costs a lot, and the princes' control over iron is becoming more and more strict, there are more and more craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop, and the city is narrow, I don't know if it can be expanded in the mountains outside the city?"
Lu Budao: "For the matter of iron materials, Benhou will find a way to expand the craftsman's workshop, or so." "The craftsmen of the craftsman's workshop are more responsible for building the blade, and the city of Jinyang is mixed, and the slightest negligence on the part of the soldiers guarding the craftsman's workshop may cause a big mistake, and the craftsman is also very noisy to build the blade, which is no longer suitable in the city, and the most ideal place in Lu Bu's heart is Baibo Valley.
The terrain of Baibo Valley is dangerous, you only need to stick to the exit and the road into the valley outside, and there are not a few princes who are staring at the craftsmen's workshops in Bingzhou, especially Bingzhou has shown strong strength on the battlefields in Hanoi and Hedong, thunderbolts, bed crossbows, which is not a sharp weapon to deter the princes.
Thinking of the bed crossbow, Lu Bu thought of the Zhuge crossbow that also had a great reputation in later generations, that is a sharp weapon that can shoot ten crossbow arrows, once such a thing is created, it is definitely an invincible weapon on the battlefield, although the power of the bed crossbow is great, but it has great limitations, it is inconvenient to transport, the firing speed is too slow, and if the enemy is on guard, it is difficult to cause continuous damage to the other party.
"Ma Jun is now in the weaving mill?" Lu Bu asked.
"Master Ma Jun has been in the weaving workshop since he finished renovating the loom." Cheng Laohan said.
After Lu Bu left, those craftsmen who had just joined the craftsman's workshop from the refugees were more motivated, and Lu Bu's personal visit to the craftsman's workshop meant a lot to them, and as for the older craftsmen, they gradually recovered from the initial excitement, and they had seen Lu Bu in the craftsman's workshop too many times.
The weaving workshop was created under the instruction of Lu Bu, today, if the cloth is discussed, it is the best Shu brocade, and the weaving cloth of Yizhou has formed a certain scale, the imperial court also has an official in charge of brocade in Chengdu, weaving cloth needs a lot of water, and Ma Jun chose the location of the cloth workshop on the bank of Fenshui outside Jinyang City.
When I came to the cloth workshop, it was already afternoon, and the cloth workshop was still busy at this time, and many craftsmen placed and debugged the weaving machines one by one under the leadership of Ma Jun.
"Lord, lord." When Ma Jun saw Lu Bu coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand.
"Ben Hou heard that Deheng was busy with the cloth workshop, Ben Hou had nothing to do, and came to visit." Lu Bu said with a smile, the trip to Luoyang got Zhang Rang's wealth, of course, these wealth will eventually be spent, and Ma Jun is the biggest gain.
"Qiyu Marquis, the weaving machine transformed by Master Ma has been recognized by Lord Li Su and Lord Chen Tian." A craftsman beside Ma Jun stepped forward and said.
"Lord, lord, by, by this person, generation, generation, subordinate, for, lord, solution, puzzle." Ma Jun said with a flushed face, he is not good at communicating with people, but he has a great prestige among the craftsmen who make instruments, they often praise Ma Jun's whimsy, no matter how complex the instrument, as long as it passes through Ma Jun's hands, he can create it, and stuttering also makes him good at thinking.
Lu Bu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, you come to tell Benhou about the weaving machine." ”
"Marquis of Jin, lowly position, lowly position." This craftsman is also like Ma Jun, his face is flushed.
"Don't be nervous, how Deheng usually does, you can tell me once." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Jin Hou, the original silk loom has fifty warp threads of fifty feet and sixty warp threads of sixty feet, extremely clumsy, even if it is a person with flexible hands and feet, it takes a month to weave a piece of cloth, and the silk loom after the transformation of Lord Ma is to change all the looms to twelve feet, so that not only the weaving is more accurate, but also can weave four or even five pieces of cloth in a month." The craftsman said excitedly.
Lu Bu didn't understand the meaning of fifty feet, sixty feet and twelve feet, but the output of the new silk loom was four to five times that of the past, which was enough, four to five times, once the cloth mill was expanded, there would be a steady stream of cloth, and the princes would have contacts with the state, and there would be more and more merchants, and the cloth would not worry about sales.
The production of cloth will lead to more development, such as silkworm raising, in the past, most of the people were weaving cloth by themselves, barely enough for a family to use, and the expansion of the cloth mill will allow more silkworm farmers to be produced in the state, and the people will have an extra income, and the cloth mill needs a lot of manpower, and the people who can weave cloth are basically women, which can be regarded as finding a way out for women.
In ordinary people's homes, women rarely show their heads, generally men are outside, and women are women in the cloth workshop, so the people have so many worries, and they also have money to take.
"Okay, with Deheng here, why worry that Benhou can't be stronger under the rule of Benhou." Lu Bu laughed heartily.
Ma Jun arched his hand and said: "Belonging, subordinate, fixed, determined, exhausted, do your best." ”
"Deheng doesn't need to say much, go to the barracks with Benhou first, and leave the matter of the cloth workshop to the people below first." Lu Budao.
Ma Jun followed Lu Bu after an explanation, now the cloth mill has been built almost, just wait for the weaving machine of the craftsman's workshop to be in place, you can recruit workers to weave, as for silk, there will be merchants in the state to be responsible, to the beginning of the spring of the next year, the cloth workshop will usher in faster development.
"Deheng, the matter of the cloth workshop will be handed over to the people below to do after that, and the state army still needs Deheng to develop more powerful equipment." Lu Budao.
