Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 39 Experiments
After talking about these suggestions for improvement, Zhang Zongxian asked Liu Jiangtou to go to the government-run artillery factory and iron factory in Beizhili as soon as possible to recruit people.

Now his workshop can make a tiger crouching cannon, even a Weiyuan cannon can't be made.I can't even give him an order.

Liu Jiangtou took it for granted and felt that he should go digging people sooner.

Finally, Zhang Zongxian placed another order for Liujia Workshop for [-] Lumi blunderbuss and [-] tiger crouching guns.Due to the large quantity of orders placed, the price has been reduced.

Each Lumi blunderbuss is priced at 20 taels of silver, and Menhu squatting guns are priced at [-] taels of silver.

Before Zhang Zongxian left, he also hinted that Liu Jiangtou would build a gunpowder factory as soon as possible. Now the gunpowder is all bought from the frontier army, and the price is expensive and the quality is mixed.In the future, more and more firearms will be equipped, and this gunpowder will be indispensable.

After coming out of the Liujia Workshop, I went to the backyard of the county government.Zhang Zongxian will not return to Changshengbao tonight.Su'e has been busy dealing with the Taiping and has not been to Changsheng Fort to accompany Zhang Zongxian for two days.

Today happened to be when Zhang Zongxian went back to the county government and the two of them could spend some time together at night.

Su'e returned to the backyard of the county government office and knew that Zhang Zongxian was waiting for her in the study.Throwing away the gauze happily, she jumped straight to the study room.After entering the study, Zhang Zongxian picked him up and circled around.

It is said that beauties love heroes, and Zhang Zongxian is Su'e's hero.Treated her very well and never beat or scolded her, and trusted her very much to let her manage such a large industry as Taiping.Although very tiring, Su'e has felt the value of her life from a Xiaojiabiyu to the current female shopkeeper of Taiping.

At night, the two snuggled up on the bed and Su'e told her miss.

"Husband, since the opening of the Taiping, the people have praised your benevolence and righteousness. Without the exploitation of those officials, many people can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind this winter. It's just that the concubine lives with the number every day, so I can't accompany you to serve my husband."

"Mr. Su'e, I aim to benefit the people of the world. The small Qingjian County is just a test field. In the end, I want to speak out for the people in the court of Ming Dynasty.

Husband Su'e, I have no trustworthy people around me, I can only work hard on you now, and you will be much more relaxed after the children of the academy finish their studies."

"The concubine does not work hard, and it is Su'e's blessing to be able to share her husband's worries. It is just inconvenient for her husband to have no one to take care of her. It is better for her husband to serve her husband after marrying a house"

When Su'e said this, her voice became smaller and smaller. Although she was not the main wife under the education of feudal ethics, she had already taken herself into that role.She just wanted to think about her husband, and didn't want others to gossip about her.

Zhang Zongxian could only laugh when he heard Su'e's words:
"I want to marry a new lover, what should I do if I don't want you?"

Su'e burst into tears as soon as she heard it. Zhang Zongxian originally wanted to make a joke, but seeing Su'e took it seriously, he hurriedly coaxed her.It took Su'e a long time to stop her tears.

When he woke up the next day, Zhang Zongxian and Su'e went to the Taiping.

The Taiping grain store has been operating very well. People sell their grain at Taiping, and now people from several nearby counties also come to sell their grain at Taiping.So much so that officials in nearby counties began to send people to set up checkpoints on the road to intercept people from selling grain in Qingjian County.

It's just that the lending business of the bank has not improved, and there are very few people borrowing money.

The common people have long been scared by those black-hearted loan sharks.Although Lizheng came out to guarantee that the interest rate was very low, but for the illiterate people, no matter how good the words were, the people would not recognize them.

Zhang Zongxian didn't have any good ideas for a while?He can't sell it himself, and it's not the time to plow the land, and it's useless for the people to borrow plows.

Zhang Zongxian decided to vigorously promote wool spinning wheel loans first, so that the people would trust the bank after eating crabs, and increased the rewards for Li Zheng.

Zhang Zongxian is also planning to prepare an exhibition, so that Lizheng of the whole county can see the effect of wool spinning into thread and knitting sweaters.By the way, let Lizheng train the bank's policies.The exhibition will be held when fifty spinning wheels are completed.

Su'e had invited them several times before but was evasive, but this time Zhang Zongxian asked those yamen servants to come to invite them to see who dared to shirk this time.

After inspecting Taiping, Zhang Zongxian returned to Changsheng Fort with the wool in the afternoon, and immediately organized staff to start cleaning the wool.

And asked Hu Zhongxing to lead a few smarter outer disciples to be responsible for the specific work of wool washing. Who made Zhang Zongxian have too few reliable people around him, so he had to drive the ducks to the shelves and let the disciples go up. Anyway, in Changsheng Fort, the disciples have You can ask Zhang Zongxian about anything at any time.

After making arrangements, Hu Zhongxing called Liu Jiansheng again.Zhang Zongxian planned to let him lead the team to Liujia Workshop to preside over the steelmaking experiment.After all, it is his family's property, and he has been exposed to these since he was a child.It's the perfect candidate.

Zhang Zongxian briefly explained to Liu Jiansheng how to use the exhaustive method to conduct experiments. First of all, everything should be recorded, from the screening and crushing of ore to how suitable for steelmaking, and how high the temperature in the furnace should be according to the flame without a thermometer. Color judges temperature.

Is it possible to make steel using coke made from coal without using charcoal?

Then it is about the performance of the various substances added to the tempered steel. If it meets the performance we require, then we need to find out what caused it.

How do the trained steel craftsmen handle it, what effect will these processes of quenching and earth covering achieve, and why do they do it.

In short, first observe how the craftsmen make steel, record each step with detailed and accurate numbers, and then conduct experiments based on their own guesses.

Zhang Zongxian focused on explaining that we must pay attention to safety, do not rush for quick success, but understand steelmaking step by step.Let them go to the workshop for three days every time and come back to the college to make up two days of classes.

After explaining this, let Liu Jiansheng go to pick someone from the outer disciples.The new disciples of the college have not yet been fully cultivated.We can only let these outer disciples go on top first.

Zhang Zongxian will arrange for them to make up lessons for the delayed courses.

In the school rules formulated by Zhang Zongxian, these disciples will be given corresponding financial subsidies after they are responsible for specific projects.In the future, inner disciples will participate in such projects when they grow up.

Anyway, what we are doing is elite education, let these children practice while learning, which happens to be in line with the martial art.

Before Liu Jiansheng could have a sip of tea after explaining, Ding Bo hurried in.

It turned out that the capital had replied, and after sending the money and wine, Eunuch Wei of the Wei Dynasty was very satisfied, but the father-in-law of Wei Zhongxian did not send the money without inquiring about it.

Eunuch Wei wanted to present the heavenly milk as a tribute to the emperor, but he heard that it was not easy to get that day's milk from outside the Great Wall, so he sent an eunuch Li to take people to see how the day's milk was.

Eunuch Li has no impression!It should not be a historical celebrity.Anyway, if you come here, treat him well, and if you have enough money, you won't make things difficult for him.

The capital city is not close to here, so Eunuch Li must be on his way when this letter arrives.
