Lord of the House

Today is the day when the furnace pond is slag, and a few apprentices are working. Sun Daluo squatted in front of the furnace room, grabbed a handful of charcoal slag, and looked at it carefully.

The charcoal **** was about to be pulled out to pave the way. It was as black as dog feces. Sun Dalu looked at it with relish. There was an old craftsman with a white beard. Is it more fragrant than the **** you've eaten?"

Sun Dalu proposed to build a new furnace, which was quite approved by the above, and also built a new kiln to test. Sun Daluo became the head of the furnace, and Yueyin doubled, not to mention, but also called two master craftsmen to listen to him.

The old craftsman who made fun of him was an old craftsman from his father's generation. He used this to talk about it from time to time, saying that Sun Dalu had eaten **** and was only over 30 years old. .

For these craftsmen, a master craftsman can be said to be the ultimate goal of life, and a figure like Ge Fu who can become a court worker is a legendary figure. Ge Siyu is more promising than his father, but he also entrusted his father's favor, cleaned the craftsman, passed the examination as a scholar, and entered the Jiangning Ministry of Industry as the principal.

Sun Dalu was not annoyed, he giggled, held up the **** in his hand, and said, "You are always a veteran craftsman. Look at the difference between this slag, you always feel that you can't hold up and don't work hard!"

The charcoal material is burned in the furnace room, the **** can hold the strength, will not collapse halfway through the burning, good ventilation, easy air supply, sufficient combustion, high furnace temperature, good iron quality, and can save money charcoal.

There are a lot of things that can be pondered in this slag. Sun Daluo squatted in front of the furnace pond, thinking that he could try a different method of stacking charcoal in the pond, and maybe the charcoal materials should be different.

The old craftsman has inherited the craftsmanship, and is quite dissatisfied with Sun Dasuo's random changes to the craftsmanship handed down from his ancestors. He frowned and said, "What the **** are you thinking about? Don't make this furnace smaller than the three blast furnaces, just here. Once the iron is burnt out, you will be eaten for several years. You really think that you are easy to be a furnace leader! Be careful to get your father up from the grave. "

"Sun Dalu, Sun Dalu, which one is Sun Dalu!"

Someone shouted outside the cellar. Sun Dalu and the old craftsman stood up and looked out, but it was the little school with a saber who came over to call him.

"Master Jiang, the youngest is Sun Dalu," Sun Dalu bowed and got out of the half-buried cellar, only to see a group of soldiers lined up outside, occupying the heap outside In the stockyard, "What is the command of the grandfather calling Xiao Xiao?"

"Your Excellency wants to come to see the furnace, and you have made irrelevant people to avoid..." Xiao Xiao said.

"Which lord is coming over?" Sun Dalu asked suspiciously, "Every time Mr. Hu came back, he didn't let him clear the place. There's no unrelated people waiting here."

The old craftsman said to Sun Dasuo next to him: "Which adult came over, you should ask? Let Tianmozi and a few turtle eggs stay, and the rest are irrelevant, and the **** will be cleaned up tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow is tomorrow." Sun Dalu said.

"Your father is also dead-headed, how good his craftsmanship is, he won't turn a corner, offended Mr. Chen, made a full meal, and went away after half a year. How come you can't learn to turn a corner? "The old craftsman said that iron cannot become steel, first clean up the stockyard, and let the laborers leave the furnace first.

Sun Daluo sighed helplessly, threw the **** in his hand aside, and looked out, wondering which adult came over. A large group of people rushed over, not many Sun Daluo knew, except for Hu Zhicheng, the furnace chief of the other three furnaces, the master of the iron workshop and the master of the armory.

"Ah, it's the Governor General here," the old craftsman said happily, patted his lips again, and changed his way, "Now it's the Governor, but he's an official several ranks higher than the county magistrate. I didn't expect the Lord to return just now. Chongzhou two days, I came here..."

"He? Your eyes are good, but you didn't see anything wrong?" Sun Dalu was quite puzzled, saying that the adults were young, but when he saw the real person, he really felt young, which was surprising.

"You've only been in Chongzhou for eight months, and you haven't seen the adults," said the old craftsman, with his beard up, "I've seen the adults three times. Can you see me wrong? You only came here to walk around after telling the adults what you offered. Otherwise, this small place can be compared to those three blast furnaces? When the adults are happy, maybe they will reward you with thirty or fifty taels of silver. But remember to remember me for a drink."

Guanyintan Iron Smelting Factory has built three blast furnaces, all of which are old-fashioned single furnaces, capable of producing 100,000 refined iron and 600,000 catties of old iron a year. With such a scale, it is already the first of Hailing Mansion, and it is not much smaller than the Iron Works of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry.

Those who take care of such a blast furnace are the leading craftsmen in the industry.

"You're bluffing me, how can there be such a benefit?" Sun Dalu didn't believe it.

The old craftsman did not explain, so Lin Fu and the others walked into the furnace here, and Sun Dalu and the old craftsman ran up to kowtow and salute.

"You are Sun Dalu who built the double furnace?" Lin Bing stared at Sun Dalu, who was standing in front of him and didn't dare to lift his head. He spent too much time in the scorching furnace, and his skin was peeled a lot. One red and one black, he is not tall. Unlike other sturdy blacksmiths, he is much thinner, but his eyes are quiet and calm.

The temperature in the furnace pond was high, and it was late autumn, and Sun Daluo came out wearing a short lapel.

"The youngest is Sun Dalu." Sun Dalu replied.

"Then tell me, what would you do if you were asked to manage the entire iron smelting workshop?" Lin Fu asked.

"There are three blast furnaces, stop one first, and then change to double furnaces. After the renovation, stop the other two and then change them. The small furnaces are left to test the fire..." After the double-furnace mixing method was approved, he started talking about it without thinking about personnel management at all.

"Okay, then I'll let you take charge of this iron smelting workshop!" Lin Fu said.

"..." Sun was stunned for a moment, but did not understand what Lin Fu meant.

The old craftsman's mind turned fast, and he pulled on the front of Sun Dalu's clothes and said, "Your Excellency has promoted you to be a masterpiece, but you still don't kneel down to thank you. The ancestors of your Sun family are smoking. In the whole industry, people of your age are not. There are not many masterpieces!"

"It's not a masterpiece," Hu Zhicheng said, "Sun Dalu, Your Excellency is going to recommend you to the imperial court to become an official. It's not an engineer, but an official civil servant, a deputy metallurgical supervisor, the head of the co-worker department, Mr. Ge. It was also an official position before, but you are in charge of the system, and you are in charge of all the masterpieces in Tie Zuochang!"

"..." Sun Dalu was even more stunned and did not know how to return to his senses, even the old craftsman was stunned there. Ge Fu and Ge Siyu's father and son are considered legends in their craftsmanship. Ge Siyu was still admitted to the title of scholar. Who would have thought that Sun Daluo, an iron smelter, could be a deputy supervisor just like the head of the Ministry of Industry?

The masterpieces of the workshop and several furnace chiefs on the side were stunned.

After a long time, Sun Dalu shivered and replied with a crying face, "You can only know a bunch of small characters, and you can't be an official!"

"You can smelt iron, bring apprentices, and have a good brain. This official is easy to do, not as difficult as you think!" Lin Bie smiled, patted Sun Dalu's shoulder encouragingly, turned around, and faced the crowd , said, "Sun Daluo presented a new method of iron making, which proved to be very useful. The workshops should promote this new method. The good iron produced every year can improve a lot. Sun Daluo is a man of merit. This Sun Daluo is familiar with the new method, so I recommended him to the court to be the deputy supervisor to preside over the promotion of the new iron-smelting method. In addition, Sun Daluo has contributed to the new iron-smelting method, and he will be rewarded with 2,000 taels of silver..."

Can Sun Daluo be an official? Many people were shocked but still shocked, and they still had a question mark in their hearts, and some were disdainful, wanting to see the good show that Sun Dalu screwed up.

The reward of 2,000 taels of silver all at once seemed like another boulder smashed into the lake, setting off a huge wave.

Two thousand taels of silver, when converted into copper coins, weighs nearly 30,000 catties, which can be piled up in a room. For ordinary people, it is an unimaginable amount of wealth.

In the world, there was too much pressure on craftsmanship and miscellaneous arts, and Lin Fu had to use more violent means to pull it out.

Among the scholars who were promoted to the imperial examination, there were no peerless talents without special talents.

Zhao Shuhan, who presided over the compilation of "Craftsman's Classics" in the south, and Jiang Yue, the junior supervisor of Si Tian, ​​who built the water transport instrument platform in the north, are all top figures with expertise in craftsmanship and miscellaneous studies.

Speaking of Jiang Yue, the junior supervisor of the Sitian Supervisor, the first-hand information on the Heishuiyang route obtained by Lin Fu was given by Chen Jintang, the head of Jiangyue's entrusted labor department.

However, the proportion of such figures in the scholar group is too small, and under the current system, there is simply no room for them to exert their talents.

Zhao Shuhan was in high spirits except when he was a junior high school jinshi, and then he was depressed for nearly ten years.

Jiang Yue was Chen Xinbo's disciple and niece-in-law, and his official career was fairly smooth. Even after the Western Qin Party lost power, it was because of his dull temper and indifference to the world that he did not receive much impact. But the biggest role he can play in Sitianjian is to compile an almanac with a group of officials.

Jiang Yue presided over the construction of the water transport instrument platform, and the daily time was exactly the same. Lin Fu couldn't understand the principle for a while. According to other people's descriptions, he guessed that it might be the naive form of the astronomical clock, but it can achieve the same precision every day. Jiang Yue's mechanical achievements can be said to be unprecedented. , the latter is difficult to follow.

The main timekeeping tools in the world are the sundial and the hourglass.

The timing error was so large that Lin Bingtou was incomparably large.

In the current world, Sinan and the astrology can be used for navigation better, but what Sinan indicates is the direction, and the astrology can only identify the latitude, and there is no effective means to identify the longitude in the world.

When Lin Fu heard Jiang Yue and the water transport instrument platform built by him, he didn't think of timing, but subconsciously thought that after miniaturizing the water transport instrument platform, he could measure the difference in longitude.

Lin Fu has a thousand years of life experience and knows that the time difference between different regions is due to the difference in longitude. As long as there is an accurate timing tool~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the longitude can be accurately identified by calculating the time difference.

Only by being able to identify latitude and longitude can you accurately identify the orientation on the vast sea.

From Chongzhou to Danluo Island, everything went very smoothly, and it only took two days and three nights to arrive. However, because of the large error in identifying the direction of the astrology, it takes several days to go the wrong way.

Fortunately, there is a star-drawing technique, otherwise, I am afraid that eight times out of ten times I will not be able to find where Danluo Island is.

Maybe it will take hundreds of years and generations of efforts to transform the water transport instrument observatory into an astronomical clock that can be used for navigation in the true sense; it may take longer before a wrist watch can be worn in future generations, but this Definitely the right direction.

As long as a nation walks in the right direction and takes fewer detours, it will not suffer so much humiliation.

It's a pity that Zhao Shuhan has always been unwilling to give up his political ambitions, and Lin Fu has no chance to see Jiang Yue at this time.

For a bigger goal, it is necessary to have a stronger force.

Many people present were still shocked by the 2,000 taels of silver reward promised by Lin Fu, and Sun Daluo shivered a little. These two incidents collided too much for him, and his mind was blank, and he applauded without knowing how to react.

After thinking about many other things, Lin Fu came back to his senses and said to Hu Zhicheng and others: "Soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, and if they can produce generals and marshals, and craftsmen create things with their hearts, they should naturally produce great men; even if they cultivate the fields well, He is also the champion, can be an official, and can also be rewarded. The reasoning is the same. Whoever thinks of a new way to make things of good quality and low price should be rewarded. Of course, there are some problems that can only be solved at once. If it is not resolved, or the existing manpower is not enough, you can also put up a list and offer a reward. There are countless talented people in the world, we cannot underestimate the heroes of the world!" My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
