The second thing is that you need to take a look at the smelting workshop area of the Kuroda family, and the Kuroda family relies on its strong production capacity and research capacity, and the weapons, equipment, and array hats produced are all more practical than those of others, and it is definitely a big guarantee for the victory of the Kuroda family, so it is extremely valued in the Kuroda family.

The workshop area is located in the west of Iho-gun, not far from Kuroda Castle, which is also an hour's distance away, and it is also an hour's distance from Wangxiang Castle, which was built by the Ming people on the seaside of Iho-gun. After instructing some things, accompanied by Xu Weixue, Li Sanbao and others, Kuroda Zhitaka and Kuroda Vocational High School came to the forbidden place of Kuroda's family - the workshop area.

The location of the workshop is very special, it is a place surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is close to the river, and in the middle of the hill, there happens to be a wide and fairly flat land with an area of one town step, and this is where the Kuroda family's workshop is located.

Before entering the workshop, you have to pass through a mountain road carved out between the two mountains, this mountain road is also quite special, the mountain road is artificially built according to the terrain, so the whole mountain road is not straight, but seems to be winding.

There are a large number of trees planted on both sides of the mountain road, and because the road is winding, the trees hide the entire mountain situation, and you can basically only see a small section of the road in front of you, which is also a kind of protection for the Kuroda family workshop area!

Entering the mountain road, more than a dozen concentric people appeared, saluting everyone, it seems that the protection here is not bad, among them there are at least two ninja level ninjas, because these two concentric people Kuroda Vocational High School know.

After a few words of encouragement, the group moved on. This time, I saw the thirty elite ashigaru led by Ryoza Nagaya, and after saluting everyone first, they were allowed to pass.

After Ryoza Nagaya became a samurai of the Kuroda family, although he didn't have much credit, there was still hard work, and he was already in his fifties, so the Kuroda family didn't arrange too heavy work for him, and the job of guarding the core area of the collar seemed to be the most suitable for him.

After all, he has served the Kuroda family for nearly thirty years, although the time is a little longer, but to be able to go from a farmer who eats in the land to a samurai of the Kuroda family, it is definitely not easy for this era of disparity between the status of samurai and the common people, so his loyalty is absolutely undoubted.

And as I said just now, this workshop area is located in the core area of the Kuroda family, and the Kuroda family has nearly 5,000 regular troops in Harima, and because Kuroda Castle is in the Iho County, half of it is in the Iho County, unless the Kuroda family is defeated by others, it is absolutely safe here.

If there are too many enemies, they will directly attract the army of the Kuroda family, and a few or more than a dozen people will basically not even be able to pass the level of concentricity, which can be regarded as the Kuroda family's reward for the loyalty of Nagaya Ryoza over the years.

After passing through the mountain road, they finally came to the workshop area, and the moment they left the mountain road, everyone had a sudden feeling of enlightenment, and the road in front of them was no longer an endless road and trees on both sides, but was replaced by open land.

The clearing was enclosed by a sturdy-looking wooden fence, and more than a dozen of the Kuroda family's Ashigaru stood guard on it, like a small barrage with good defense.

"How many guards are there in the entire workshop area?" Kuroda asked.

"Back to the lord, there are a total of 100 people guarding the ashigaru in the workshop area." Li San replied.

"Hmmm! Let's go inside and have a look. "Kuroda is quite satisfied.

After entering the fence, you will see rows of workshops, and the houses are arranged very regularly from house to house, like small building blocks, photographed into a huge rectangle, which is completely to match the buildings in the city.

The other buildings are in the shape of a common longhouse, except for the side facing the river in the middle, there is a large circular building, which sits alone there, which is very conspicuous.

"What's that building?" Kuroda asked, pointing to the round house, because he had never seen this building before.

"My lord, that's the newly built assembly shop." Li Sanbao replied.

"Workshop? What is a workshop? Kuroda asked curiously.

"The workshop is the place where you work, and this word was said by the young master." Li Sanbao replied.

"The place where the assembly work is located, that's the place where all kinds of equipment are assembled, everyone, let's go and see this place where all kinds of equipment are assembled."

"Hey!"

Kuroda walked in with his head in his head, and the others consciously followed.

When he came to the outside of the round building, Kuroda was already shocked, because he was just far away, and he didn't see that there were two huge waterwheels on the side of the river outside the house, and the waterwheels were still whirring and spinning under the impact of the current.

"Why is there a watermill here? Aren't waterwheels used for farming? I remember a long time ago, when Kankanwei was a child, it seemed that he had improved the waterwheel, but there was no arable land here, so what was the use of this waterwheel? Kuroda asked suspiciously.

"Father, this is our new invention, you will know when you go in." Kuroda said with a smile, not ready to reveal the mystery directly.

Kuroda has been to the workshop area more than once, but this building and the waterwheel have only recently been built, so he will be surprised and nothing, after all, there are hidden things! Of course, it's curious. But Kuroda Vocational High School is not ready to directly tell Kuroda what the waterwheel does, otherwise there will be no mystery, so let him see it himself!

"Okay, since you don't say it, let's go and see it first." Kuroda also replied with a smile.

When I walked into this workshop, I saw that the area inside was very large, very spacious, with an area of two or three hundred square meters, and there were four very long, table-like things distributed in it, and around it were hundreds of busy workers.

There are hundreds of people on both sides of the table, holding their own tools, and from time to time they will pick up something from the table, whether it is wood, or feathers, or iron pieces and the like, and then they will skillfully polish or assemble something there.

And after they have completed their steps, they will put the things in their hands back on the table and repeat the previous process, and all the workers can see that they are very skilled and can quickly complete their steps. (To be continued.) )
