Chapter 80 Progress Speed 2

"Is Mr. Yang not very happy because I found a red-haired man to cast cannons for me?" As soon as Xiao Tianjian entered the house, he immediately asked Yang Changshou.

As soon as Yang Changshou put his buttocks on the stool, he quickly jumped up again, hugged his fist and bowed, "I dare not!"

"It's not that I don't dare! I dare not say it! I can see that you are not happy about it! In front of me, there is nothing to hide. Let's say what I'm saying, right? Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and then asked.

Yang Changshou was a little embarrassed. Xiao Tianjian observed and made his mind nowhere to hide, so he only nodded and replied to Xiao Tianjian, "The general's eyes are really sharp. To tell you the truth, the little one is really not convinced when he learned the news! In his early years, he also cast cannons for the government. I don't know why the general asked a red-haired ghost to cast cannons for the general. Can't he trust the little ones?

Xiao Tianjian smiled, waved his hand to let Yang Changshou sit down and talk, and then said to Yang Changshou, "Then tell me, what kind of cannons have you cast before?"

"The small one has cast a tin cannon for the government before, a bowl cannon, a copper cannon and an iron Fran machine fast cannon, and a tiger squat gun!" Yang Changshou answered honestly.

"How far can you shoot among the cannons you have cast? How many bullets do you have? How much gunpowder is loaded? Xiao Tianjian continued to ask.

"The cannon and the bowl cannon are not good. It's good to be able to shoot the cannon a hundred steps away. The Fran machine cannon is expensive to change the gun quickly, and it's not far away. Needless to say, the general also knows how far it is!" Yang Changshou scratched his head and replied.

"So have you ever cast the Hongyi cannon?" Xiao Tianjian did not say anything, and then asked.

"This is not true. We northern craftsmen have only heard of this Hongyi cannon. Some people have seen it, but it has not been cast! On the contrary, I heard that there is a competent official in the government in Dengzhou who can make this thing. How to make it, the small one is not very clear!" Yang Changshou replied with some regret.

"Ha ha! That's why I want to use this red-haired man to cast a cannon for me! You should remember that there must be my teacher in the threesome. You should know that the Hongyi cannon is cast by their foreign devils. Although our craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty will also imitate it, you people have never come into contact with it, so even if you want to draw a tiger according to the cat! For our current Fran machine gun and tiger squat gun, the power is too small, and it is too close. Although it is light, the power is limited!

However, this Gao Su came from a cannon family on the foreign side. The cannon he casts is farther and more powerful than the cannon we use. This is exactly what I want! At the same time, this is the reason why I want to use Gao Su to cast cannons for me. You should know that the era of foreign cannons has surpassed the power of our messy cannons. Don't be unconvinced. You should take the opportunity to read more and learn more and figure out the principle of their cannon casting. You can also cast cannons for me later!

As for whether Gao Su is bragging or not, it's whether it's a mule or a horse coming out. Don't hinder him, just let him try first. If he lies to me, then I'll drive him away and let you host the casting of the cannon, but now it's what he wants for him. You can't hinder him and let him do it. Yes, do you remember it?"

Xiao Tianjian directly said the reason and vaccinated Yang Changshou. Yang Changshou was unconvinced and secretly tripped Gao Su and made him unable to do anything. Many Chinese people like to do this. Many times, some things can't be done, precisely because of their peers. Some of them tripped and consumed their energy on infighting, so Xiao Tianjian would never allow such a thing to happen among his men.

Yang Changshou secretly pinched his sweat and did not dare to express his dissatisfaction, because he also knew that Xiao Tianjian was not a fool, but a person he could fool. Since he wanted to use Gao Su to cast cannons, there must be a reason, so he was not happy about this matter.

So he hurriedly bowed and nodded and said, "The little one obeys the order, and the little one will definitely do it. He will never dare to sway him secretly. The little one will also see if this foreign devil can do it. If he is lying to the general, then ask the general to hand over the casting of the cannon to the little one. If he can really make a good cannon, even let the little one give it to him. Become an apprentice!"

"Good! Just do as you say. You have to remember that we are not the government here. It doesn't matter what the relationship is. Whoever has the ability is a capable person! As long as we are of the same mind, we can make a profit!

Okay! That's all for this matter. I drew a picture of three-edgings on the bird thorns. You can arrange people to build it according to it. I don't care how to modify it. This matter is not very urgent at the time. The most urgent thing at present is to build a bird, and to create enough agricultural tools before the beginning of spring. This can be done first. Let a craftsman grope for a few handles and try them on. If it is available, it's not urgent to vacate people to do this after the beginning of spring!

Tell me more about your men's creation!" Xiao Tianjian took out a piece of paper and gave it to Yang Changshou, and explained it to him.

Yang Changshou took this piece of paper. He was a little doubtful of what Xiao Tianjian had done before. It seemed that there was nothing he didn't understand. He and his men thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a good idea. Xiao Tianjian drew a drawing in just a few days, and asked him to follow such a drawing and let Yang Chang Shou couldn't accept it. After opening it, he immediately lost. Xiao Tianjian drew a few strokes, and a short blade jumped on the paper, and the details were also very clear. The front of the side was drawn, making it clear at a glance.

Moreover, Yang Changshou just glanced at it and immediately saw that this short blade that can be hung on the front end of the bird's gun is very exquisitely designed. It can be easily hung on the gun tube, and it does not affect the bird's gun's fire. It can also be easily taken down. A small mechanism solves the problems they faced before, although However, it has not actually been built, but Yang Changshou immediately realized that the design of this short blade is much more practical than what they did before.

So Yang Changshou was impressed: "I didn't expect the general to do this! It's really a shame for us!

At present, the iron work is very busy. Some craftsmen specialize in creating all kinds of agricultural tools. At present, they also need to help carpenters create some iron nails and rivets. The small people dare not be careless about starting spring ploughing the fields. Please rest assured! In the beginning of spring, we must work overtime and prepare our things!

As for the matter of bird shovel, we are currently creating more molds. As long as there are molds, the blacksmiths will be able to make a lot of new birds in a month.

"If you let you build it all out after a month, how many rods can you make for me every day?" Xiao Tianjian is concerned about this issue.

"As long as there is a mold, and the craftsmen learn quickly, with the current craftsmen, it is not a problem to hit ten rods a day. There will be fewer qualified starts, and there will be more and more in the future. Moreover, I also told my subordinates about the method of the assembly line that the general said. Everyone thinks it is easy to do. Law, and has arranged for everyone to specialize in what to build, and now I'm trying to fight!

The key is still to drill the pipe. After the pipe is finished, we need to drill the drill repeatedly. This is all fine work. It's good for a person to drill two joint pipes in a month. So in a month, I estimate that we can make a hundred birds, even if it's good!" Yang Changshou then told Xiao Tianjian about the production problem of birds.

Xiao Tianjian frowned and was not satisfied. He has invested so much human and material resources in the manufacture of bird gear, but at present, bird gear still cannot be mass-produced. There are 100 birds a month, which seems to be quite a lot, but if you want to replace the bird gear currently used by Xing Tianjun and equip it with a new type of bird gear, this After a cycle, it won't work for more than a year. What's more, he has to increase the number of equipment. This output can't reach his requirements, but the fact is that it's here. It's useless for him to be in a hurry. He can't get involved in the process, and he can't do it quickly. Once he is too urgent, it may lead to quality. If it declines, it will affect the equipment of the new bird.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Tianjian said to Yang Changshou, "Well! Let me follow you to see how to drill! Let's see if we can find a way to speed up.

After saying that, Xiao Tianjian immediately greeted Gao Su and went to Houshan Tie with Yang Changshou.

On the way, he first made a detour to the stream and looked at the dam that began to be built from the highest point. Hundreds of people were busy here under the dispatch of the craftsmen. It was not difficult to build the dam. First, he led the water to one side, chose the address of the dam, made wooden piles, and then built it with wood. Come on, finally put up the stones one by one. The stones are filled with plaster and small stones. It is not difficult to build, as long as it can provide enough waterwheels to push the wood. It is much simpler than the river dam. After all, this is transformed with the help of the existing terrain, so it is not difficult and the amount of work is not large.

In just a few days, the foundation of the first dam here has been basically completed. According to what Zhang Chao said, there is absolutely no problem to build the first dam within 20 days. Looking at the current progress, Zhang Chao has already folded in half. At the earliest, in ten days, the first dam can be basically completed.

And a group of carpenters are also rushing to build a waterwheel here. After Xiao Tianjian took a look, this waterwheel is a vertical wheel-shaped waterwheel, which rotates the blades by the water flow. It is not the kind of waterwheel he wants. The efficiency of such a waterwheel is relatively low and the power provided is not very strong, so he is not very satisfied with it. However, since it was the first time to do it, it was not easy for the craftsmen to achieve this level. Xiao Tianjian did not express any dissatisfaction, but nodded repeatedly and encouraged these craftsmen.

But at the same time, he also wrote down this matter and sighed in his heart that he was born to work hard. It was difficult to have a rest here. It seemed that he had to do the design of this waterwheel by himself.

After the people working here saw Xiao Tianjian, they all realized that Xiao Tianjian might be the big head here, at least a quite sipedeb, so they quickly knelt down and saluted Xiao Tianjian. Xiao Tianjian smiled kindly and asked them to be polite. He also talked with them and learned about it. Their situation.

Some of these ordinary people have been divided into fields, waiting for the beginning of spring to burn the wasteland, and then they can be cultivated. At present, they are still idle, so they come here to help Xing Tianjun and have two full meals by the way. Some people have not yet been divided into fields, but they are also willing to come over, which can save the pity of the family. The storage of food.

Xiao Tianjian joked with them and thought that what he did here in Shuangfengzhai has been given to a certain extent. In this winter, the problem of thousands of people eating has been basically solved. At the same time, he also made great use of idle labor, which is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

(There are still 60 collections left, which is enough for 7,000. As long as there are 7,000 tomorrow, how about I add an additional chapter?)
