Chapter Ninety-Three: The so-called home is a place where someone is waiting for you to come back
This time, Wang Hui came with all kinds of talents. Iron, farming, winemaking......
Otherwise, how can five ships be filled?
In addition, among the granges here in Yuzhang, there are these craftsmen themselves. Therefore, Liu Shengzhi can be seconded to some of them.
"Gather some young clever boys to come and learn. Tell these blacksmiths that they teach an apprentice, and I'll give them 10,000 dollars!"
Originally, these blacksmiths cherished their own craftsmanship, but when they heard 10,000 yuan, they were afraid that they would be moved.
That's not a small amount. It is enough for a large family to live for several years.
"This money?"
"I'll figure it out!"
With a lot of money, he can solve everything with a simple sentence.
Liu Shengzhi saw the weapon newly created by the steel-filling method, thick and heavy.
Although it is not as good as the steel of later generations, it is a first-class thing in this era.
In those days, many farmers used wooden tools to farm their land. Some hoes and ploughshares are still made of wood, and some are no more than pig iron.
It was Liu Sheng who went all the way to Huiji, and when he saw the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were very few people who used steel weapons.
"Now the newly built weapon is very easy to use. Cutting those iron knives is effortless. A blacksmith who looked a little more honest walked over and said crampedly in front of Liu Shengzhi.
Liu Shengzhi waved it, and when he saw a Han sword, it was more than ten catties, nearly twenty catties.
couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Is this sword easy to break?"
The blacksmith laughed: "It's much better to don't have an iron sword!"
The implication is naturally to admit it.
Liu Shengzhi nodded, the sharpness and toughness of steel have always been difficult to balance. Even in modern time and space, it is difficult to solve this problem. That's why new types of ceramics were developed to replace them.
"How much steel can you make per day?"
"Although this steel-filling method is simpler than the previous 100 steel-making, it is only a dozen catties a day......
"So, it takes several days for a long sword to be refined?" Liu Shengzhi frowned again.
"Yes!" Seeing that Liu Shengzhi seemed dissatisfied, the blacksmith couldn't help but say: "I used to use the hundred refining method to refine. It takes more than ten days to shoot a long sword!"
Liu Shengzhi asked a few more words, and he probably knew. The craftsmanship and technical level of blacksmiths in these remote places are far inferior to those blacksmiths of Lanting Villa that Liu Shengzhi has seen.
Those blacksmiths inherited the Han Dynasty's method of frying steel. Pig iron is heated into semi-liquid and liquid form, and iron ore powder is added.
At the same time, it is constantly stirred to remove part of the carbon in the pig iron by using iron ore powder and oxygen in the air, so that the carbon content in the pig iron is reduced and the slag is removed. Directly obtaining steel, this is the steel frying technique.
The invention of this technology was a major breakthrough in steelmaking technology, enabling the smelting industry to provide society with large quantities of cheap, high-quality wrought iron or steel to meet the needs of production and warfare.
However, with the war, there are also reasons such as technological monopoly. Obviously, the blacksmiths in the two counties of Jiangxia Yunshe do not know this technique.
Liu Shengzhi was on a small piece of paper, and naturally he couldn't write down all the technical details. Although these blacksmiths themselves figured out the method of filling steel, the efficiency was extremely low.
At the moment, Liu Shengzhi instructed them on how to select high-grade iron ore according to the things on the technical data. High-quality pig iron is smelted.
Then, liquid pig iron is poured on wrought iron and smelted several degrees to carburize the iron into steel.
But he handed over the steel-clamping method and the steel-clad method to these blacksmiths. In this way, a piece of steel is sandwiched at the blade, and the sword body part is still made of iron.
Not only can it save a lot of steel, but it is much tougher than all steel, and it is not so easy to break.
However, the process is much more complicated. It also consumes manpower.
Liu Shengzhi just said it. Let them try, it's just more efficient.
Moreover, although this Han sword is used in the battle array. But the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, but it is not so easy to practice.
These ordinary county soldiers used Han swords. I can't play to my strengths. It's better to use a spear.
I remember that there are many books on YY spear formations that are invincible, in fact, in Liu Shengzhi's view, the only advantage of spear formations is that they are cheap and easy to replenish.
Not much steel is needed to make a spear. At most, one tip can be cast. The body of the gun is all wood. It's also easy to stab, and it can be trained in a few months at most.
As for the world, let's wash and sleep.
It should be said that as long as there is enough, there will be a steady stream of follow-up soldiers.
Such cannon fodder-like pikemen, constantly replenished, are enough to win all wars.
As for some, the so-called training of pikemen still has to take the elite route. Set high salaries, bereavement pensions, and so on......
I'm afraid that only when the brain is in water will think like this, or go to the end of the Ming Dynasty to bully the wild boar skin.
After inspecting almost all parts of the city, the sky was already dark.
The people of all parts of the city were reorganized according to the method of sacrificing wine to their heads.
Although it is simple, it is the initial organization established by Du Zhong, a child of the Du family, with the help of Liu Shengzhi. Let Liu Shengzhi's control over the entire county greatly increase.
At the beginning, it was possible to requisition and mobilize people's power on a large scale, transform the wasteland outside the city, plant rice, and build a city, all of which played a huge role.
also let this Liu Shengzhi leave for a few months, but according to Liu Shengzhi's unfinished plan at that time, continue to complete it. Give the whole city a new look.
When I walked into the yard where I lived, I saw orange lights from a distance, which was slightly warm.
Liu Shengzhi even has a feeling of returning home!
The so-called home is not just the cold house. It's in that house, there's someone lighting up the lights and waiting for you to come back.
"Lang Jun is back," Jiang Wenning smiled like a flower.
Liu Shengzhi nodded, he hadn't seen each other for a few months, although he often corresponded, but suddenly, he didn't know what to say.
Na Jiang Wenning lowered his head and smiled, and brought the clogs: "Lang Jun will change the clogs first, and the hot water is ready." Let's wash off the dust on my body first......"
Liu Shengzhi said: "Okay." ”
It is not convenient to see such ancient times, various conditions, and various kinds of life.
But such a large family has enough manpower to wait. But it is not much worse than modern time and space.
Liu Shengzhi was in Huiji, and there were seven or eight maids to serve. Nowadays, there are some habits.
Liu Shengzhi said: "Why don't you prepare a few maids at home, why do you have to ask Ning Ning to do any work?"
Jiang Wenning smiled: "But do you think Wenning has rough hands and feet?"
How can it be?
Jiang Wenning is quick and gentle in his hands and feet, and he serves people, but one is better than so many maids. (To be continued.) )
