Chapter 152 Furnace iron magic skill nibbles mulberry boiling ([-])
Shixin understood, nodded slightly, and whispered: "I want to try. Copper is too expensive."

Gongzao Zhuxin said that copper is very expensive. According to the method you mentioned, it can be used with gunpowder, and it is much more expensive than a crossbow.

It's not yet time to actually do this matter, but since the loud noise of Pei Ze last time, Gongzao Casting has led a group of coppersmiths to try that thing.

The more you try, the deeper you will understand. As soon as you ask that weird question, Gong Zaozhu will know what you are thinking about.

Shi could only ask general questions at most, and after asking a few questions about removing impurities from iron smelting, these craftsmen were temporarily taken aside to rest.

The rest of the Mohists were all looking at Shi, and Shi spread his hands and said: "I just know the reason for this kind of thing, but if it is really done, it is difficult."

"However, this ore can be smelted, so if you try a lot, it shouldn't be a problem."

He said it was not a problem, and he was confident.

Among the Mohists, there are many people who are handicraftsmen and craftsmen.

The best carpenter in the world is here, and leather bellows and other objects are necessary for the Mohists to defend the city and prepare caves and tunnels. Blast ventilation can solve the problem.

There are also mine boys and miners in the Dayeshan Copper Mine.However, there are still no large-scale mining methods such as suitable and explosive methods, and the problem of mine support is not a problem to bring the bronze civilization to this level.

In the early stage of charcoal burning, local methods of coking were tried in the later stage. There are also charcoal-burning craftsmen among the Mohist; there are also potters who make refractory bricks and ventilated pottery pipes.

There are Gongzao Ye and Gongzao Casting families who can cast tripods and chime bells. Even though they may not be familiar with making molds, they can somewhat understand it.In addition, it is appropriate to wait until the iron is tapped and directly put on the reusable iron fan, which is counted as starting from scratch, which does not matter.

Now, according to appropriate suggestions and requirements, most of the Mohists who can do this work have been mobilized from all over the place to gather together.

Mozi asked: "The people you want are all here now. Tell me about your Xuanyi Department."

Shi smiled and said: "Everything about the Xuanyi Department is ready. The reasoning is clear, and all villages are also looking forward to using the iron soon. Although they have never seen it, the reputation of our Mohists is , they naturally believed."

"There is only one thing. Even if the ratio is one person per team, the rotation in March may be insufficient in a few years. After a few years, ironware can be sold everywhere, and I am afraid that some people will be called from all over the place."

"I'm afraid that it will be difficult to recruit at that time. With the money that needs to be distributed every day at this time, it is easy to recruit mining refugees elsewhere."

"It's just that once iron farm tools appear, all countries will recognize private acres, and the income from reclaiming the land is more profitable than working..."

Many Mohists who have heard Shi often talk about this kind of production relationship understood Shi's meaning, and after thinking about it, they didn't have any ideas.

Mozi said: "There is no rush. It will take three to five years. Let's talk about it at that time. According to the method you said, the most difficult thing is actually within three to five years. In ten or twenty years, the population will increase. Iron wares are used in the world, and there will be many people who have no land to rely on... If you think this way, then in the future, such things will have to be resolved, and this is not the only one?"

"Don't think about it for now. I thought I could understand the rules of the world. After listening to you a lot, I realized that the rules change from time to time and are endless... Don't be like those survivors of the Qi State. You have to worry about moving and even the sky falling."

"I'm seventy years old, and I'm afraid I won't see some things. Although you are still young, I'm afraid you won't be able to see some things. But what Lie Yukou said is good, children and grandchildren are infinitely scarce, and the rest will be left to the infinite." The descendants of Kui."

"He argues with you about the universe and the universe, and you are at a disadvantage. But what he said about the foolish old man can be used. Let the Mohist be the foolish old man. Children and grandchildren."

Shi nodded, thought for a while and said: "Now that the winter wheat has been planted, the houses have almost been repaired, and there will be no martial arts in winter, and it's not too cold. This winter is a good time to prepare for iron smelting."

"The mine has been selected, and a road has been built so that the ink cart can be pushed without getting muddy. People from each village pavilion should be able to complete it after a few days of busy work."

Mozi smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. I guard the city of five miles, with 4 households, and it is also in order. Mozi is not afraid of crowds, and they can be banned even if they are crowded."

"Qin Huali once asked me, what should I do to guard the city? I said: 'Let each person have his own strengths, and the world's affairs should be taken care of; if he divides his duties, the world's affairs will be obtained; if everyone likes it, the world's affairs will be prepared; the strong and weak are numbered, and the world's affairs will be handled It’s a tool.”

"This is not only the principle of defending the city, but also the principle of governing the world. If it can be done, the world can also be governed, let alone mining?"

Hearing this, Shi put his hand on his forehead and said, "Sir, what you are after is probably the last happy land. Everyone will do their best, each will show their strengths, and what they do will be everyone's favorite... I'm afraid it's just a matter of time." Even when I die, I may not be able to see it."

Everyone laughed and said: "Didn't you say that, sir? We just can't see the infinite shortage of children and grandchildren, but as long as the Mohist family survives, there will always be Mohists who will see it."

All the people present were in the same mind, and they were encouraged by Mozi's words just now, and their interest was even higher. Thinking that ironware will benefit the world, they all felt that their thoughts of benefiting the world after becoming a Mohist would finally be realized, and they could even faintly draw inferences Saw the dawn of a new era.

Thinking that I am in such a changing and unprecedented era, everyone's heart is filled with the arrogance of benefiting the world, and even speak with joy in the breath, without thinking about whether they can see or not.

Seeing that everyone was like this, Mozi said loudly: "Since this is the case, we will start to do this tomorrow. I have already discussed with Qiwuhao. The three of you are in charge of this matter. The matter of the township school , Take it slow for a while, or do a review, or be taught by others, or practice marching in line."

"Before next spring, this matter must come to a conclusion. There is news from Shangqiu that the place is already unstable. I am afraid that there will be a chaos in Xiaoqiang, which will hurt innocent people in Shangqiu."

"In the spring, the division of public land, the conversion of private acres, the measurement of wasteland, and the change of taxes also need to be completed. The wheat harvest must be in May at the latest, and we must rush back to Shangqiu."

"Since the Mohists are here, the Chu people cannot attack Shangqiu, and those nobles who don't care about the people and only seek power are not allowed to do things."

He said he was majestic and majestic, and all the Mohists took orders in unison.

…………

Niasang Township, at the home of an old man who had visited that day, the eldest son at home was packing his bags.

The second son was the head of the voluntary teacher in Peiguo, and the youngest son was studying at the Peiguo Township School. The family believed that they had been parting with the Mohists all the time, and the family was naturally active in this kind of thing where one person came out first.

In addition to this constant relationship, once ironware appears, it is easy for such a family with a large labor force to rely on hard work to enter the ranks of wealthy owner farmers.

The Mohist’s proposition at this time is beneficial to the handicraftsmen and wealthy owner farmers. The slavery has little to do with the Mohists. The Mohists do not represent the interests of the slave class and child servants, but they hope that they will become free handicraftsmen and owner farmers.

Yaomei was busy packing her eldest brother's luggage, and filled a half-linen bag with dry cakes baked over fire, with a handful of salt and a large piece of bean cakes inside.

The old man turned the ink cart over outside the house, turned the wheels, listened to the creaking sound, poured hemp seed oil on it carefully, and listened to the movement of the wheels of the ink cart.

Turning around and seeing his little daughter packing up the food, the old man said with a hey, "Pretend more, Mo Zhe finds someone to do things, even though he will pay for the food, but I am afraid that the food will be rough, and the mill will not be busy. If it is night When you’re hungry, eat some cakes and soak them in water.”

"The bean cakes are the most delicious if you light a fire at night and roast them next to them. They will be burnt and fragrant."

The eldest son said with a smile: "Father, Mo Zhe said that the bean cakes will be fed to livestock in the future."

The old man stared and said: "In the future, that is in the future. Now our cattle are still borrowed from Mo Zhe, and the money is still a little short of repayment."

Speaking of cows, the old man's eyes showed a warmer look than when he looked at his son, thinking: "I have harvested two seasons this year, and even if the tax is changed next year, I will still live better than before. , it can be sent to some people who have done good deeds at home."

"We are not short of strength, and we have a large family. Maybe we can repay the cattle and horses in the same team in two or three years. When I went to the village that day, I saw that there were many foals and calves in the cattle and horse field. Five years later, I will buy my own. I have already taken a fancy to one, which is bred by the big bull of Rhubarb, tsk... the little calf..."

She was talking vigorously, and she couldn't help her eyebrows dancing, the little daughter covered her mouth and snickered, and the wife who was spinning the hemp couldn't help muttering, thinking that if others didn't know, they would think that the calf was yours!
The eldest son listened enthusiastically, and thought it was very good.

The second and fourth brothers are all outside, and the second brother can still send some money back every month. If I really have iron and my own cattle, then life will be great.

There is still a lot of wasteland in Niasang. As long as there is strength, cattle, and iron, how can there be no land?On the contrary, Mo Zhe has never issued a land deed to prove the opening of the field, which is worrying, and I don't know if the emperor will agree.If you really don't agree... Hey, if you don't agree, then ask Mo Zhe what to do.

Seeing that Yaomei finished packing her package, she was struggling to tie a knot, but she couldn't tighten it no matter what, she pouted and said, "Brother, do it yourself."

The eldest son smiled, and used his rough hands to tie the pocket. After a pause, a space was immediately vacated. His seemingly rough but flexible fingers skillfully tied a slipknot, put the pocket on his back, and walked to the side of the ink car.

The old man turned over to the ink artist, handed over a small gourd hemp seed oil and said, "Sprinkle some from time to time, the wood is easy to dry. If it is worn out, although the ink artist will pay for it, it's just that they are busy doing other things. Who knows when it will be compensated?" Go? If you give money, there is nowhere to get it."

The son took it with his hand, put it on the belt, put the package on the ink cart, and pushed it a few steps to try the sound of the wheels. He was very satisfied.

When going out, the family followed all the way out the door, he turned his head and said: "Go back, I will go to Xiangting and go with the rest of the people."

"It's our family's turn to feed the cows next month. Father, don't be reluctant to part with the bean cakes. If you are really hungry and thin, not to mention that the pavilion chief will come to question you, it won't look good in the pavilion."

"I'll be back in three months. It's not the time to harvest wheat, but I saw a large piece of land next to the pond over there that day, and it happened to be reclaimed. You should go and have a look, don't let others occupy it first. No way. You just take a stone hoe to surround it first, I wrestled with people in the village pavilion that day, I heard that Mo Zhe may measure the acres of fields next year."

"Don't worry about using the firewood at home. I'll be back in three months, and then I'll push a few more carts. Regarding the manure, you must listen to the head of the pavilion, and don't do it on your own..."

"If Mo Zhe wants to pile nitrate, then don't hide your own compost for the time being. We will grow new seeds next year, don't do something at this time that will not be our turn, and we will be resented by Wu Nei..."

He babbled a lot, if he had to be scolded on weekdays, no one scolded him today, only told him to be more careful, but don't be lazy and make fun of Mo Zhe.

Looking back, I always feel that there is still something in my heart that I haven't asked clearly, and I am always worried, but I don't know what to say, but most of them are good things or good things that I can't get.

While thinking about it, people from the same village yelled, and without thinking much, they pushed the ink cart and started on the road.

　Jingzhe is called the south because there is nothing there, and it comes from "Zizi".Shi Jiao and Shang Yang should be both teachers and friends. Shang Yang is about to be born but not yet.Shizi's view of relative space is similar to that of Mohism.Yugong Yishan, from "Liezi".Lie Yukou is now in his prime.
