So the summer south made a decision: first, immediately launched the steel or low-carbon steel project; second, to build an arsenal to make guns after obtaining qualified low-carbon steel; thirdly, the use of annealing technology to produce small-caliber guns; Fourth, the coke and development of Shandong should be included in the long-term plan.

Lin Weiye was happy, and spread his hands, "Comrade capitalist, you can just touch the skin of your mouth, what about people?" You'll have to give me a few blacksmiths, it's a technical job, it's not like weaving training for half a day. Then you have to go to Guangzhou to buy pig iron, at the moment we have not mined iron ore, we can only buy ready-made. ”

A certain capitalist stared at him viciously: "Wait, even if I go to kidnap, I will tie up a few blacksmiths for you, and the rest of the workers, you train yourself and break up!" ”

The meeting between the two ended successfully. Xia Nan returned to his room, sent someone to call Liu Quan, and then sat in the room and sulked. Everyone wants to be the boss, who knows the bitterness of the boss? Just like now, the major task of the textile worker has been completed, and he has to go all over the world to find a blacksmith, bitter! Thinking about it, Xia Nan read out loud: "Wow, who knows my suffering?" ”

"Master, what's the pain, isn't it too hard, the slave and maid beat your back?" A timid voice sounded next to him, and Xia Nan looked at it, but it was a maid bought back from Guangzhou, with red lips and white teeth, bright eyes, and she was so busy these days that she forgot what her name was. When the people of Guangzhou saw her in the market, they were rubbed by their teeth to show themselves, and she was still disgraced at that time, but now she has been raised for a while, and she is recovering very well.

I'm busy opening a factory, making iron, making guns, casting cannons, or something, isn't one of my goals in life to live a good life? Xia Nan's definition of a good life is that I can bully others casually, people can't beat me, I can't spend a lot of money, by the way, I marry a third wife and four concubines, I have nothing to tease the maid or something, and now there is a maid to tease me, what about his blacksmith, tomorrow's things will be talked about tomorrow.

He was much better and came back to life. smiled and asked the maid: "When you came to Qiongzhou, can you get used to it?" Has the measurements recovered...... Ahh By the way, what's your name? ”

The maid blushed shyly, and the master's words were full of ridicule, and she didn't know how to answer. Evasively replied: "Back to the master, the original name taken by the master can no longer be used, my real name is Ah Xiu, since I have entered the mansion, I also ask the master to give the name." ”

Giving a name? It's good to give a name, and this master likes it. There was nothing to do today, so I simply took the names of the six maids.

"Very well, you call the other sisters, and I will give you a name today, sir!"

Ah Xiu responded crisply, turned around and walked out of the room. After a while, all six maids arrived, and stood in a row in front of him, Yingying Yanyan, Huan Fat Yan Thin, for a while the capitalist comrades were a little distracted, the old society is also good in the old society, where to find such a scene in the 21st century?

After a while, he retracted his thoughts and said, "Steward Liu arranged for any of you to serve me, Master Lin, and Miss Maria, all of whom stood separately. ”

When the maids heard this, they stood in three piles. Ah Xiu and another tall maid stood to his left, two maids stood below them, and the other two stood to his right.

Ah Xiu reported: "The two of us serve the master, the two sisters under us serve the master Lin, and the two sisters on the right side of the master serve Miss Maria. ”

Xia Nan took a closer look, Liu Quan's vision was good, these six maids were quite beautiful in this time and space, Ah Xiu and the tall maid were the most beautiful, Lin Weiye got the second two, as for the two who served Maria, although they were not bad, they were slightly mediocre compared to Ah Xiu.

In this way, it can be seen that Liu Quan has put his heart into it, not only to please himself, but also to consider Maria's special features as a woman - she definitely doesn't like too beautiful maids to revolve around her every day, and safflower always needs green leaves.

habitually cleared his throat and coughed a few times, and when he was about to speak, Xia Nan realized that he had no experience in naming the maid and didn't know how to start. He humbly asked Ah Xiu: "What kind of charter did you name in the previous master's house?"

Ah Xiu replied: "It all depends on the happiness of the host, the elegant ones are named in the order of spring, summer, autumn and winter or Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, and the rough ones are just taken with a festive name such as Tongxi and Double Happiness." ”

Spring, summer, autumn and winter seem to be a good idea, so someone is very irresponsible and messy - Ah Xiu and another maid who serves him are called Chunlan and Xia He, Lin Weiye's two are called Qiu Ju and Dongmei, and Maria's maids are called Baozhu and Cuiyu.

I was happy to name the maid, and Liu Quan came. Xia Nan remembered that he still had something to do, and waved his hand unhappily to tell the maid to step down.

Liu Quan carefully observed Xia Nan's expression, "The master seems to have something to worry about, if you need to run errands, hand it over to the villain." ”

Xia Nan said depressedly: "We have worked hard to get so many female workers in Guangzhou, and we have to find a way to get a blacksmith." You say, where did Lao Tzu go to get a blacksmith? ”

Liu Quan asked tentatively: "What kind of blacksmith is it, a kitchen knife or a horseshoe?" ”

Nan froze in the summer, and he and Lin Weiye seemed to have made a mistake. The blacksmith of this era is a craftsman who makes kitchen knives and farm tools, not a craftsman who makes iron, as the two of them take for granted, which are two different things.

"Well, this blacksmith is not another blacksmith...... Master, what I want is a blacksmith who can make iron......" Xia Nan was embarrassed to correct.

"Ironmaking...... I'm afraid there aren't a few in the entire Qiongzhou Mansion, but Guangdong ironmaking is very prosperous, and it shouldn't be difficult to dig up a few craftsmen, as long as you give enough money to settle down. "When Liu Quan is bent on performing, he naturally has to seize every opportunity, if he has the opportunity, if he has no chance to create an opportunity, he must also play.

Xia Nan Yixi: "Okay, I know that you Liu Quan has a way, and this matter will be handed over to you." If you work hard, you will go to Guangzhou again, contact Zhang Mingli, and ask him to help buy some pig iron, coal, and dig some craftsmen, and apprentices, the more people, the better, not afraid of spending silver! "He himself has just been to Guangzhou, and he doesn't want to go again for a short time, and it is very hard to take a boat.

Liu Quan stepped on the ship to Guangzhou again, with a list in hand. When Lin Weiye learned of this, he revised the list, removed the coal, added sulfur, saltpeter, and copper, and included traditional blacksmiths in addition to ironsmiths.

He explained that the demand for coal for coking is very large, and such a small purchase is far from satisfying the demand, so he simply temporarily uses charcoal to make iron, and then directly transforms when the coal mine is occupied; As for sulfur and saltpeter, they are essential materials for making black powder, while copper, which is used to make some parts of guns, is not in great demand, but it is very useful. Traditional blacksmiths, on the other hand, were trained to craft muskets directly.
