Alien Lord

Seeing Qiu Tie coming up, Lin Ze almost smiled, because the official robe on Qiu Tie's body could no longer be seen clearly, and even his face could now be vaguely covered with black ash. , and the craftsmen behind him are similar to his current appearance.

It can be seen from this that although Qiu Tie and the others have become officials of the craftsman battalion, they have not let go of their duties as craftsmen.

Seeing this, Lin Ze was relieved in his heart!

When he learned that Lin Ze was coming to inspect the craftsman camp, Qiu Tie felt a little uneasy, because a few days ago he sent the made horseshoes and other equipment to the barracks, and Lin Ze came today Therefore, Qiu Tiexin couldn't help thinking, is there something wrong with the chariot, and it didn't meet the requirements of the commander-in-chief?

If Qiu Tie was still working as a craftsman in the barracks in Qingzhou before, he wouldn't be so worried. Anyway, at that time, Qiu Tie's food and clothing would be a problem, and at most he would lose his job in the barracks. However, in the past With Qiu Tie's ability, he can easily find a job.

However, it is different now.

Lin Ze's treatment for Qiu Tie was really too high, not only did he allocate nearly 200 mu of land to his family. (Qiu Tie is a high-ranking craftsman, and he alone has been allocated nearly 150 acres of land, plus several of his family members, so a total of 215 acres of land has been obtained. )

Moreover, Qiu Tie also became the steward of the craftsman camp, and has an eighth-rank official position, and the monthly salary is as much as ten gold coins. Such a high salary, Qiu Tie had never dreamed of before. been.

Therefore, Qiu Tie is extremely satisfied with his current state, and he doesn't want to lose his current job because of this. That's why he is so worried about gains and losses in his heart.

"I've seen the Chief Soldier, all my lords!" Seeing Lin Ze and the others coming to the door, Qiu Tie rushed over like flying, and then knelt down and kowtowed.

Lin Ze, who was riding on Bai Yue, stretched out his right hand in a hurry, a puff of true energy directly under Qiu Tie's knee, pulled him up, and then said with a smile: "Qiu Tie, you don't need to be so polite. The artisan battalion in charge has pointed out extremely sophisticated weapons to the army, and I should thank you."

"Ah......!" Qiu Tiexin was startled, and then a burst of relaxation appeared in his heart.

"It's okay, your lord didn't come here to blame me, it's okay!" Qiu Tie's heart finally relaxed.

Qiu Tie, who was determined in his heart, said with a smile: "My lord, you are my superior, and I should kneel down to you!"

"Hehe, Qiu Tie, don't say too much, let's go in and have a look!" Lin Ze said with a smile.

He knows that trying to change the mentality of people like Qiu Tie will not work at all. In the hearts of people like Qiu Tie, it is a matter of course to bow down to their superiors. Comfortable, and other people will also think in their hearts, is this person too impolite.

Therefore, Lin Ze didn't say anything more.

The habit of kneeling, even in modern society, is that people kneel down and beg for help in order to get a job.

"Yes, my lord, I will lead the way!" Qiu Tie got up quickly, and then led Lin Ze and his party into the craftsman's camp, and then introduced everything in the craftsman's camp.

Qiu Tie led Lin Ze and the others to inspect the craftsman's camp. In the middle, he asked Lin Ze with some anxiety in his heart: "My lord, you came to inspect the craftsman's camp today because there is something wrong with the weapons that were sent last batch. Is it?"

Lin Ze shook his head with a smile and said: "Qiu Tie, don't worry, there is no problem with the weapons last time, and you made a good job. Of course, there is no improvement in the middle, but you can use these things in the future. Take your time when refining weapons, don’t worry now! For example, you can try to replace some wooden things with iron ones in some logistics vehicles, and install bearings on the axles.

In this way, not only will the logistics vehicle be stronger, but it will also save effort to push the vehicle, run faster, and the axles will be more wear-resistant. In addition, you can try to unify the manufacture of some weapons and logistics vehicles into one Specifications, that way, once these things break, they can be repaired in the shortest possible time....blah blah blah! ""

"Yes, my lord, I understand, and I will start relevant research immediately!" Qiu Tie replied respectfully, and he admired Lin Ze even more in his heart.

These suggestions put forward by Lin Ze, Qiu Tie knew as soon as he heard them, that they would be extremely beneficial to the future military operations, and such a plan is not difficult to realize, as long as you use snacks, you can make it.

However, Qiu Tie had never thought of such a simple plan before, so he really admired Lin Ze in his heart!

"Qiu Tie, I hope you will take the lead in learning more knowledge in the future, so that you can improve your ability even more. Moreover, if you want to be promoted in the future, you must first learn to read, otherwise, you will only be able to reach this point in the future." Ze made a suggestion.

Craftsmen like Qiu Tie are extremely capable, but there is one disadvantage, that is, among the craftsmen like Qiu Tie, nine out of ten are illiterate, and even if they are literate, there are not many of them.

They are now able to have such a strong ability to manufacture weapons, relying on their continuous training from childhood to adulthood, and the ability they have developed.

It stands to reason that Qiu Tie and the others have already practiced it, and it doesn't seem to matter whether they need to read or not, but in fact it is not the case.

Lin Ze also wanted Qiu Tie and the others to continuously bring out batches of high-strength craftsmen. This required Qiu Tie and the others to learn how to read.

What's more, as a craftsman, reading pictures is a must, which requires craftsmen to learn to read. Therefore, even though many of Qiu Tie and the others are now in their 30s and 40s, Lin Ze still requires them to learn how to read.

"This......!" Qiu Tie hesitated a little, he was already forty-three years old, and it was really difficult to learn to read now.

"Why, learning how to read is as difficult as when you were a refugee?" Lin Ze said with a smile: "Besides, Qiu Tie, you don't want to set a good example for your future children and grandchildren. Once they don't study hard, you can To put it bluntly, even your grandfather is still studying at such an old age, don’t you feel ashamed if you don’t study? Qiu Tie, don’t you think so?”

Lin Ze didn't plan to force Qiu Tie and the others to learn to read. After all, twisted melons are not sweet, so he directly used their descendants as an example.

No one wants to set a good example for their offspring, so Lin Ze believes that using Qiu Tie's offspring to motivate them is definitely a matter of getting twice the result with half the effort.

"My lord, I must be good at reading and writing, and I will never embarrass you!" Qiu Tie said firmly, his eyes were full of determination.

Seeing this, Lin Ze laughed inwardly.

"Sure enough, using future generations to motivate is the best, hehe...!"

"Let's go, take us to see your crafting camp!" Seeing that his motivation had worked, Lin Ze said with a smile.

Now that I have aroused Qiu Tiexin's passion for reading, I don't need to do anything more.

"Yes, my lord, I will lead the way ahead!" Qiu Tie said immediately.

"You should call yourself here!" Li Qing corrected.

Soon, Lin Ze and his party came to a craftsman's room.

As soon as they came outside the craftsman's house, Lin Ze and the others felt a burst of heat.

At this time, Qiu Tie began to introduce.

"Dare, this is the iron-making group of the Craftsman Camp, which is specially used to improve the quality of pig iron. My lord, we didn't have iron mines before, so if we want to refine weapons, we can only buy some pig iron to refine them, but , the quality of these pig irons is uneven, and they must be returned to the furnace and re-trained before they can be used to forge weapons, otherwise the weapons will be easily damaged."

Qiu Tie introduced to everyone as he walked, Tie Ying and Lin Hu, who were following Lin Ze, knew the importance of weapons to soldiers on the battlefield. It can be said that on the battlefield, the weapons in the hands of soldiers are simply the weapons of soldiers. The second life, so we can see the importance of weapons to soldiers.

No one wants to be in a battle, someone else slashes with a knife, and his own knife rests with a "clang..." sound, but his own knife breaks easily. Isn't that just waiting to suffer slaughter? !

Therefore, when Tie Ying and Lin Hu listened to Qiu Tie's introduction, they stared wide-eyed and refused to let go of any details, because they needed to be responsible for their own subordinates, so Tie Ying, Lin Hu and the others In my heart, I wanted to pick out a few questions to make these craftsmen pay more attention when making weapons. It is best to make sharper and more durable ones. In this way, the second life of their soldiers is more guaranteed. , they can also get more victories.

It's a pity that Tie Ying and Lin Hu are all laymen, let them use knives to slash people, but let them refine weapons, hehe..., let's dream!

"Oh, that's right, how about the quality of the iron you re-smelted?" Lin Ze asked carefully, watching the molten iron tumbling in the furnace.

Compared to Tie Ying and Lin Hu who know eight senses and seven senses about iron making, and the rest don't know anything about it, Lin Ze still knows a little about iron making.

"My lord, it depends on the quality of the pig iron we buy." Qiu Tie said cautiously on the side, he knew very well that Lin Ze knew how to make iron, so he didn't dare to hide anything.

"My lord, the quality of the weapons we make now can't compare with the craftsman battalion in Tianzhu City. Whether it is the sharpness or durability of the weapons, they are one or several grades worse." Qiu Tie's face was full of shame. Said, feeling very apprehensive...
