After a spring rain, the weather is getting warmer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The road in Qingzhou City has officially entered the construction stage, and the cement workshops are busy producing cement day and night, and at the same time, there are more cement pipeline workshops among the people.

These workshops buy cement from cement mills and then use molds to mix sand and cement to produce cement pipes.

After the excavation of the Qingzhou underground pipeline, the businessmen who contracted the construction of the Qingzhou pipeline would come to the door every day to purchase this kind of cement pipeline, which made the shopkeeper of the cement workshop make a lot of money.

Accepting another fifty taels of silver, Dai Zixing happily closed his mouth, he was a local businessman in Qingzhou, and he was also the first batch of local businessmen in Qingzhou to join the Chamber of Commerce.

After the road construction was put on the agenda, King Qi handed over the production process of this cement pipe to the Chamber of Commerce, and after learning the news, he went to the Chamber of Commerce for the first time and spent a thousand taels of silver to win the process, and at the same time, there were several other local businessmen who won the process.

In the construction of Qingzhou Road, King Qi paid special attention to local businessmen, which made him Dai Zixing and other local businessmen really benefit.

Although it was a lot of investment to win this process, the cost was quickly earned after the workshop started, and it began to make a profit, which made him very confident in this cheap and practical product.

"Zhu Wuliu, I'll take this silver." Dai Zixing looked at Zhu Wuliu with a smile.

This young man from Zhujia Village has now become a celebrity in Qingzhou City, borrowing 3,000 taels of silver from the government with the title deed, and contracting the construction of ten people's streets and underground pipelines.

"Shopkeeper Dai, that's polite, I want to thank you for owing me a credit some time ago, otherwise I really don't have enough money." Zhu Wuliu said with a smile.

Those who followed Zhu Wuliu were all from Zhujia Village.

Since he contracted the construction of the road in Qingzhou City, he went back to the village to hire people as soon as possible.

Thirty yuan a day per person, the old and young men in the village are vying to work with him, this leisure is also leisure, thirty yuan a day, this month is almost one or two silver.

Where to find such a good thing for the villagers?

"What you said, your brother is a big hero in our area, just rely on your brother's reputation, I can rest assured that I owe it to you on credit." Dai Zixing smiled.

Zhu Wuliu recalled his brother's heroic and handsome appearance in a dark green military uniform, and he was proud in his heart, and this time he was able to borrow three thousand taels of silver, and the King of Qi was also very kind to Zhu Sansi.

With emotion in his heart, Zhu Wuliu looked at the sunset that was about to set in the west, and said: "All in all, thank you, I will invite the shopkeeper to the restaurant for tea another day." ”

"Okay, okay." Dai Zixing said happily, "It's not too early this day, you can quickly transport these pipelines to Qingzhou City." ”

Zhu Wuliu nodded, this time he rented ten carriages to transport cement pipelines, which also cost money.

At first, he didn't understand anything, but the borrowed three thousand taels of silver were spent quickly, and King Qi still clicked on him.

Since then, he has been making a lot of money, buying materials, renting a carriage, and arranging the construction of the Zhuangding, and since then he has slowly made money.

If the carriage does not enter the city to-night, it will have to be the next day, and then there will be another day's rental.

……

In the city of Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming rode his horse towards the equipment division, and when he passed by every street in Qingzhou, he couldn't help but look twice.

Because of the construction of the whole city, the roads are now very messy, and the roads are full of piles of dirt.

Merchants from six states are busy with their people, and in some places concrete roads have been paved.

In general, paving a concrete road is a relatively simple matter, it is enough to level the road, pave it with a layer of sand and stones, erect it on both sides with 20 centimeters of high wooden planks, and pour concrete on top of it and flatten it.

Although this project is relatively large, it is expensive because there are many people, and now that there is no machinery, Xiao Ming can only adopt the tactics of crowds.

Therefore, in the past month, Qingzhou roads have become one-fifth, and the east and west cities, which are key constructions, now not only have cement roads, but also paved with cement floors.

In order to clean up the two markets, garbage ponds have also been built near the markets, allowing vendors to dump their garbage into the garbage ponds instead of littering them.

At the same time as the road is under intense construction, the production of knives in the instrument division is not idle, and today Song Changping brought news that he has refined spring steel.

The rest of the squad has already forged the parts of the bolt, just the main spring, and now that the spring steel has been successfully refined, there is no problem with the bolt part.

When they arrived at the Equipment Division, Song Changping's team was gathering, and Song Changping was talking about something with a machine in his hand.

At this time, the other craftsmen reminded him that Xiao Ming was coming, and he immediately turned around.

"Your Highness, look."

Song Changping handed over the flintlock pistol to Xiao Ming.

The handover of ready-made flintlock pistol craftsmanship to these craftsmen means that these craftsmen have directly crossed the research and development stage into the mature production stage.

So it's not a problem to forge the machine in a month.

The only problem was the spring steel on the core, and this problem was also solved by iron-manganese alloys.

"Your Highness, this iron-manganese alloy has been tested more than a hundred times, and only then has he basically mastered the ratio of iron to manganese, and the craftsmen of the other parts of the machine core have already forged it."

Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction, the refining of spring steel can be said to have broken through an important node in flintlock technology, and the rest is the barrel.

Although the current process is backward and the alloys produced are more than impurities, it is more than enough for a flintlock pistol, and he does not seek to bring spring steel up to modern standards.

"The movement is complete, now let's install it on the butt."

"Your Highness, what kind of wood is suitable for this butt?" Song Changping asked.

"Peach wood and walnut wood can be, the butt wood should have a fine texture and good toughness, so that the wood can be made with a beautiful texture, a good feel, not easy to crack and deform, and resistant to decay." Xiao Ming looked at Ji Xin and said.

The craftsmen have riveted the iron, the powder pool, and the buckle reed on the main structure of the machine movement, using the traditional riveting process.

This method is very simple, that is, to cut small holes in the fitting and the main body, and then wear the nail, and the two ends of the nail are hammered flat and deformed, and attached to the wall of the device, so that the parts can be put together.

Song Changping nodded, "Your Highness, now that the machine core has been forged, do you organize craftsmen to divide labor and produce below?" ”

After working in the military workshop for a period of time, Song Changping naturally knew that the efficiency of division of labor and production was extremely high.

Like artillery, Xiao Ming is also preparing to adopt the method of division of labor production this time, in fact, Europe also produced flintlock pistols in the flintlock era, otherwise millions of flintlock pistols could not be born in this period.

He said: "According to the current division of labor and cooperation of your squad, now back in the military workshop, each craftsman gathers several squads to be responsible for their own parts, butts, and assemblies are separated."
