Win the Ding 1617

() "Hands with knives, horses, cattle, sheep and dogs. Human hands with knives, horses, cattle, sheep and dogs. Human hands..." While carrying his literacy textbook, Mo Daming peeked at the couple hanging side by side with the bronze bell in the distance. Something, couldn't help swallowing.

"Damn, I forgot again! What's behind the hands?"

"blade!"

Huang Lian'an, who was rubbing his clothes with saponins, reminded him with a smile.

"I said, Lao Mo, are you thinking about that again?" Huang Lian'an pointed at the plow stick hanging high on the tree with some playfulness.

"Go! It's as if you don't want to!" Mo Daming's black face flushed slightly, he spat, and continued to endorse.

Both Mo Daming and Huang Lian'an were excellent members selected by their respective villages according to Li Shouhan's requirements.According to the conditions of Shou Han: to be familiar with farming and mulberry affairs, to have been trained as a strong man, and it is best to have participated in the suppression of bandits and chaos; the age must be under 25 years old.Wait, the most terrible thing is to be able to read and count.

This time, many villages have encountered difficulties. It is not that there are no people who understand these things, but if they are all possessed by one person, there will be fewer.

There is no other way, Shou Han has to relax the conditions. It doesn't matter if you can't read, but you have to be able to settle accounts and count.

At the very least, you must know how to recite Xiao Jiujiu.

The generals were selected from among the dwarfs, and Mo Daming, Huang Lian'an and others were selected out of tens of thousands of people, a group of 10 students from Zhengshitang.

Later, he was called the first-term student of the village chief training class.

However, on the first day when they came to report for duty, these people who were the pride of heaven in their respective villages were given a killing blow by the guard.

Each person was given a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil, "You are not required to write articles or letters. On this piece of paper, write down which village you are from, the number of people in your village, and how many fields you have. In the population, how many men, women, old and young are there, how many cattle and horses are there, what is the harvest this year, and the plans of each family for next year. After an hour, close the paper!"

Shou Han's words immediately caused the people present to pour a bucket of ice water as if the eight petals of the top were separated.An hour passed quickly, a gong sounded, and the time was up.

To Shouhan's surprise, the eight test papers of 230 were all blank papers.Oh, and it can’t be said that it’s all blank paper.There were traces of charcoal pencil on several papers.

Thus, a three-month intensive training began.

Everyone was given a set of farm tools, a spear, a set of literacy textbooks, and a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

"Get up and go to the fields at Mao every day to open up wasteland; about half an hour later, wash up and have breakfast. After breakfast, there is an hour and a half of literacy class, requiring us to learn at least [-] characters. Then there is cao practice, cao practice until noon, and lunch An hour's rest after dinner. Then literacy classes, cao practice, and going to the field." Many people said this when they talked about this period of time with others afterwards.

However, what supports them is other than the desire to learn something.

"This is the latest and best farming tool in Hejing! It is the latest product made in the smelting field! Plowshares, hoes!" Several gentlemen and stewards of Zhengshitang tied the brand new pair of plow sticks with ropes beside the bronze bell. , I can't stop preaching the origin of these things.

"Look! A plowshare made of all steel! A hoe made of all steel! It's a thousand times stronger than the wood pear you used before! It's also dozens of times stronger than the wrought iron one!"

The people present had all seen the pros and cons of these agricultural tools that were said to be made of nine-turn steel in the farming class.

A person is holding a wooden pear. Of course, the plowshare is made of nine-turn steel.It took less than half a day for a buffalo to easily pear the paddy field that would take two or three strong men a whole day's work.

Those agricultural tools such as shovels, picks and hoes distributed to people are also made of this nine-turn steel.

If every household uses such plow sticks and agricultural tools, and then rents cattle from the general's mansion, I am afraid that one person can plow the whole family's fields!People start to figure it out.

"Your Excellency has an order yesterday! For those who graduated from the Political Affairs Hall, the agricultural tools in your hands will be given to individuals as prizes! This set of guys cannot be bought in the market now! Even if they can be bought in the future, I'm afraid it will cost more than a dozen shi rice! Also, do you see the top ten scores?" The steward knocked on the blue-glowing plowshare of the plow stick, and a clear and pleasant metallic sound echoed in people's ears. side reverberates. "A pair of plow poles for each!"

"In addition, if the total score of that village is among the top three, the general will also be rewarded! Send a set of large farm tools to that village! Encouragement!"

So people went crazy!

"Then tell me, what are Baochang's six policies? What are the three affairs?"

"The six policies are three specific matters. Oh, no, they are six things. They talk about land reclamation, tree planting, fish farming, sericulture, ditches, oh, no, water conservancy. There is one more, yes, yes, yes, Elimination of illiteracy! The three things are literature, farming, and martial arts! Three things!"

You can see similar scenes everywhere, people are asking themselves and each other questions.

The same enthusiastic scene appeared in Shou Han's study.

"My lord, according to the strategy you gave me at that time, when I go back and look at the details, I will follow the process mentioned by my lord, consider the profit and loss, and work out the proportion to be added to the molten iron, and then make steel." Ling Zheng smiled. Seeing the teeth but not seeing the eyes, the fatigue of the past few days is worth it at this moment.

On the floor of the study, there was a piece of steel ingot. Judging from its color, hardness, toughness, texture, sound, and the performance of the agricultural tools it made, in the eyes of Ling Zheng and others, it was indeed unquestionable. of steel.Although it feels a little worse than Bailian refined steel, but just adding the mysterious substance in the seawater to molten iron can make such steel, what else can we say?

Shou Han is very clear in his heart that this thing looks and works just like steel, and has some properties that are superior to most steels of this era, but it is not steel.

Its name is ductile iron!

Ductile iron is cast iron in which the carbon in the iron exists as spherical graphite.This is the metallurgical definition.

If you want graphite carbon to exist in spherical form, you only need to add magnesium during smelting. The modern metallurgical industry adds pure magnesium, but in the 17th century, if you want to make ductile iron, you can only add magnesite Or dolomite, but these two things are not found on Shouhan's territory. He knows that the place where these minerals are stored is now groaning under the iron hooves of Jiannu.However, he has alternative methods and substitutes, without dolomite and magnesite, and adding magnesium chloride is the same.

The manufacture of magnesium chloride is even simpler. There are not only salt in seawater, but also other things.

The method of adding lime water to seawater mentioned by Shou Han is actually the reaction between magnesium chloride in seawater and calcium hydroxide in seawater, and then magnesium hydroxide is formed.

After magnesium hydroxide encounters the high enthusiasm of molten iron, the hydrogen and oxygen in the body will disappear. After magnesium and iron are combined, nodular cast iron is formed!

Of course, it's easy to say, if it wasn't for the days and nights of non-stop experiments by Ling Zheng and others, they wouldn't have formed a very complete set of manufacturing techniques so quickly.

"My lord, I will come here today, and I need to ask my lord to show you two things."

"Oh, talk!"

Shou Han caressed the "steel ingot", which gave him the same feeling as stroking Yan Meier's body.This thing, as a substitute for steel, is still very competent, and now, on my land, there is no shortage of raw materials, additives, fuel and labor. After testing it, it can produce about five thousand catties of "steel" every day. It is still an experimental furnace, and there is no mass production.If the productivity is fully utilized, whether it is used in agriculture, military equipment, shipbuilding, or the equipment of those factories, it will be an epoch-making revolution!

"My lord, please give this steel a name. This is the first thing."

"Ah?! Do you still want to name it?"

Shou Han is a bit troubled! There was no such thing before!An industrial product, but also a name?

"What do you mean?"

"The little ones are stupid, and it's all thanks to the adults' advice that this thing came out, so I dare not overstep it." Several people gave the naming right to the guard in unison.

"Just, just turn..."

Shou Han wanted to talk about it, so let's talk about it another day!I don't want to be dumb for a while, so a misunderstanding occurs!

"Okay! My lord named it Nine Turns Steel!"

"It really is a good name! You can't have this thing if you have to turn nine!" Therefore, nodular cast iron has an extremely deceptive name.

In the future, with the expansion of the Shouhan territory, this thing will inevitably spread out, or trade, or war, and be acquired by others. Hundreds of methods of steelmaking have been imitated, but there is no successful case.

"Oh," Shou Han secretly wiped the sweat that didn't exist, and heaved a long sigh in his heart. Maybe this is the benefit of the superior!

"Just now you said that there are two things, this is one, what are the two things?"

"My lord, it is also related to this thing, um, the Nine Turns Steel."

Lei Mingsheng didn't speak for a while, but when he spoke at this time, he was talking about something important.

"My lord, after a few days of experimentation, one furnace can produce about five thousand catties a day. The first furnace of steel has already been made into agricultural tools, hoes, plowshares, rakes, sickles, etc., according to the instructions of the adults. That’s all. The little ones would like to ask your lord to show me the output of the nine-turn steel, and whether the previous steel should still be smelted, and if so, how suitable it is.”

"In addition, the villain took a piece of steel to Taiping Cave and tried it out. The knives and spearheads he made were sharper than before. Please show me, whether the knives, guns and equipment of the soldiers and horses in the mansion will be changed from nine to nine in the future. Made of steel . . . ”

Ling Zheng, Lei Mingsheng, and Wang Quan are technicians after all, and they come up to consider issues such as output, usage, and product variety.

"If I give you enough manpower, iron ore, how much can you guarantee to produce in a day? Do you have [-] catties?" Shou Han habitually tapped the table with his index and middle fingers, silently calculating in his heart.

"My lord, now we have four iron smelting furnaces, which can produce more than 2 catties of iron every day, and [-] catties of nine-turn steel, which is more than enough!" Ling Zheng, who is in charge of the smelting field and Taipingdong, replied on behalf of the other three people. Han's question.

"In this way, you can guarantee to produce [-] catties per day. Of the other two stoves, one will continue to be used for testing, and this thing will be used," Shou Han picked up the brocade box that was cherished by several craftsmen's leaders. Magnesium hydroxide, "Continue to experiment with profit and loss to see if there are other varieties and labels. Boldly experiment and record carefully."

"The fourth furnace will continue to be used for steelmaking. However, whether the process needs to be improved, we will discuss it later."

"My lord, according to what you said, this [-]-jin nine-turn steel is five tons. What are all these fine steels used for? Could it be that they are all used to make farm tools?!"

"Hahaha!" Shouhan looked up to the sky and laughed, the four craftsmen present looked at each other, not knowing why.

"This ten thousand catties of nine-turn steel was sent to Taipingdong for five thousand catties to make all kinds of agricultural tools. As you said just now, this thing is very good for farming and mulberry. I will draw another picture later, and put the plow With a slight adjustment of the head, one person can plow the field of the previous three with one cow and one pear!"

"Then, how about five thousand catties?" Several people were a little excited by the beautiful picture outlined by the guard.

"Three thousand catties are used to make knives and spears, as well as artillery. Whether it is a tiger crouching cannon, a large or small Flang machine, a red cannon, or a firecracker, we must start testing. The iron used for the test is from these three thousand pieces of iron. Take a thousand catties out of the catty and use it as a trial firearm."

"The remaining [-] kilograms will be handed over to the shipyard to see if the various components on the ship, such as ship nails and anchors, can be replaced by these things."

Feng Mofeng moved his lips up and down, muttering silently, and the people around him knew that he must have some calculations in his mind again, so they didn't care.However, Feng Mofeng himself seemed to be frightened by some number, and his face immediately turned pale.

"My lord, the villain has something to say back!"

Seeing Feng Mofeng kneeling in front of him with a pale face and sweat dripping from his hair on his forehead, Li Shouhan knew that something big must have happened, or something big was about to happen.

"My lord, the head of a sickle needs about six taels of steel. For a family of three, there must be at least two sickles. That's two taels of steel per catty. One, one hoe, two rakes, and a pair of rake collars, and a plowshare uses about ten catties of steel. In this way, the total is less than twenty catties of steel, which can satisfy a family of three. Need for farm tools." Feng Mofeng reported the result of his mental calculation to Li Shouhan.

Shou Han's fingers were also fiddling with the mahogany abacus on the table as the frame, and the abacus made of jade, calculating Feng Mofeng's statement.

"In this way, five thousand catties of nine-turn steel per day can meet the needs of 250 farm households in one day. In January, it will be [-] households, and in March, it will be [-]. households.” <When plowing, isn’t it good that all the villages use newly-made steel plowshares to plow the fields? "

"My lord, this is what the villain is worried about!"

"speak!"

"Just now my lord said that when this thing is made into a plowshare, one person, one ox and one plow, can equal the farming efficiency of three strong men in the past. My lord, I, He Jing, now have a lot of strong men. If two-thirds The strong man has nothing to do because it is used for plowing the fields, is it not brewing a catastrophe?!"

Feng Mofeng has never studied philosophy, he doesn't know what is productive force, what is the relationship of production, and he doesn't know the relationship between production tools and labor force.However, he keenly discovered that the use of advanced farm tools will inevitably lead to a surplus of agricultural labor, and if there is no good place for these surplus labor to settle, it will definitely cause trouble for Li Shouhan's territory.

The lightest case is a public security case, and the most serious one is a house robbery.

Who said the ancients had poor knowledge? !

Shou Han was amazed in his heart.

Amid the admiration and astonishment of everyone, Shou Han helped Feng Mofeng, who was kneeling on the ground, "Mr. Feng," he changed his address, "We grant land here in Hejing. According to my standard a while ago, every strong man Fifteen acres, ten acres for each woman, right?"

The crowd nodded yes.

"If I raise this standard and encourage everyone to reclaim wasteland, what do you think? The rule of [-] acres for each strong man and [-] acres for each woman, Mr. Feng, will the situation you mentioned still happen?"

Pushing open the carved wooden window, on the grass field in the distance, a strong man who is undergoing training, holding a spear, amidst the yelling of the armor leader and team officer, "Left, stab!" "Right, stab!"

Not far away, the group of future security chiefs in Zhengshitang are discussing, "I think the distance between the various security settlements should be limited to half a day's footsteps for a strong man..."

"After the new year, I will issue an order to organize land reclamation with one hundred Han people and fifty natives. At that time, you will worry that we don't have enough farm tools. In this way, you have to hurry up and build At least two stoves up."

Knowing that his opinion coincided with that of the general, Feng Mofeng also looked happy, but his thoughts immediately went further.

"My lord, such a method is of course very good. However, if after three to five years, the population will increase, but the land will not be so much, what should we do?"

"Here, you can rest assured, as long as there is enough food, I can find a way to accommodate enough people!"

joke!In the future, factories, smelting yards, and shipyards will require a lot of labor?A large number of employment opportunities are gathered in the secondary industry, and the primary industry is mainly agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. As long as enough food can be provided, my industrial system will only worry about the lack of labor force!

(Another nearly [-] words. And in this chapter, the soil technology that destroys the three views with pig feet appeared. There will be more of these soil technologies in the future. Please don’t shoot me with bricks. If you want to shoot, it’s best to use evaluation tickets , Recommendation tickets and other weapons of mass destruction.)
