Li Chongjiu came to the border county for a period of time, and he was also aware of the iron smelting level of various parts of the Great Wall North Conference semifinals.
The Turks were soft-hearted people who forged slaves in those days, and the cast iron was even better than that of the Great Sui Dynasty. However, because there was no iron ore in the grasslands, the Turks were able to invade the Han Dynasty through western trade or mining meteorite from the grasslands for many years, but even so, the iron was still scarce for the Turks until the Mongols broke the city in the south hundreds of years later. The first thing to do was to grab iron pots from house to house.
Although the Xi people in Qidan have mastered the technology of forging iron and there is iron ore in the territory, they all don’t know the history of smelting iron. After the Qidan really became strong, it was an Anshi rebellion that Qidan captured and robbed many Han people and took the lead in learning to smelt iron among all ethnic groups in Northeast China.
At present, the only one who has mastered iron smelting in Northeast China is Koguryo, and there are also iron mines, so the local language level is also high.
Li Chongjiu heard Jin Cao say that even if there is iron ore but no suitable smelting technology, it is still sitting on Baoshan. Li Chongjiu said to Jin Cao, "In this case, we must build a blast furnace immediately and we must smelt good iron."
"Blast furnace!" When Jin Cao heard this, he was reluctant to say, "The Duke’s court laws and regulations."
"I’ll deal with the imperial court. You need to go out of the blast furnace."
"Since the duke said so," Jin Cao hesitated to look at Li Jiang.
Li Jiang thought for a moment and said, "When the Duke Jin Cao was a villain in Zhuojun, he saw the blast furnace casting method, which should help a little. It takes a lot of people to cast a blast furnace."
Li Chongjiu laughed when he heard the speech and said, "If you want to cast a blast furnace, you can have it by hand. I’ll give you as much as you don’t worry about." Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu paused and said, "Li Jiang ordered you Jin Cao to do everything in the workshop as a whole."
Li Jiang listened to Li Chong-jiu and made him do it. He burst into tears. Although it was not officially compiled by the court, it was still a county beadle who went out to talk as a civilian, and it was also a spitting and nailing master. Compared with the former craftsman, I don’t know how much higher the status is.
"Thank the duke for swearing to help him cast the blast furnace and repay him."
Li Chongjiu stopped supporting the speech this time, saying, "I’m so happy to do it once. I’ll pull you out of a county, Jin Cao, when you finish the workshop in the future."
Li Jiang listened to Li Chongjiu and asked him to look at Chen Jin Cao when he saw Jin Cao. Instead, he showed a horror expression: "Report back to the duke and dare not be greedy."
Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "I’m going to recommend him to join the army when I come to greedy Chen Jin Cao to work hard. You can work for Hou with peace of mind."
This time, it’s Chen Jin Cao’s turn to kowtow all over his face with gratitude. Six Cao, the corresponding county in the county, is the sixth division, namely Sigong, Sicang and Sibing Judicial Division. These are all county officials. Although Li Chongjiu is not a county chief, these people are also very stressed. Li Chongjiu said to Chen Jin Cao Yan, "If you haven’t recovered more counties in the county, you will work hard for the time being."
"Thank you, the duke. His humble position will inevitably lead to death."
When Chen Jin Cao Li Jiang is not Li Ban, both of them are dedicated to Li Chongjiu, and Li Chongjiu also intends to expand the management of the county artisan workshop with the help of these two manpower.
Originally, the official craftsman’s workshop in Feihu County was small in scale, and at most, it was just repairing armor and polishing weapons for county soldiers and repairing horseshoes for war horses, while Li Chongjiu was full of ambition. He decided to merge several folk craftsmen’s workshops in the county with the official craftsman’s workshop.
For the great cause of smelting iron, Li Chongjiu pulled out the former captive Wang Xu, and 500 or 600 thieves were also incorporated into the craftsmen in the city to solve the manpower problem. They must first strike the iron and build the furnace under the guidance of the craftsmen, and then cast the blast furnace that can build the iron.
Note 1 Liao Shi Ji Er Yan Yelu Abao’s father began to set up iron smelting and drum casting for the people to be continued!
Chapter one hundred and fifty-three Cast iron
After regrouping, there were more than 700 craftsmen in Feihu County, and the location of the workshop was re-selected. Instead of being located in the city, it was built outside the city by the Juma River. First, it was convenient for the mountain to cut down wood. Second, it was necessary to use the Juma River to smelt iron, which required high temperature. Previously, the blowing method of the workshop was several big skins or horses, cattle and livestock. However, experienced craftsmen changed this and used hydraulic blowing to greatly save manpower and animal power.
Li Chongjiu is not too good at iron smelting, but he also knows that iron smelting technology is very important. It is that the melting point of iron is more than 1,500 degrees. Therefore, the ancient talents have increased the furnace area to increase the furnace temperature. There is also that the water wheel blower increases the furnace temperature at the same time, but the furnace temperature is not enough, so-called continuous iron can be punched out just now, and the fracture is white.
Hundreds of people started the workshop together, but more than a dozen Ri built a new workshop. In addition to arranging one hundred people to build a blast furnace, Li arranged one hundred people to build a water truck. Hundreds of people also recruited Li Chongjiu to let them build the city. ""The iron ware was put away again to build an iron arrow first.
Once Yu Yi Town is built into a pale-headed army, it can go deep into Wuhou Qinshui area and begin to try to rescue Shi Dexi tribesmen from the Khitans and merge them into their own people. Of course, it is bound to control the string. Tens of thousands of Khitans have a fierce battle. Li Chongjiu thought of a field battle to defeat the Khitans for the time being. The only fantasy that can be held is that since Yu Yi is defending the city, the Khitans must be strong in bow and hard in crossbow. Should we build armor, swords and other things first, or should Li Chongjiu equip with iron arrows first?
Although the arrowhead is small, it also pays attention to the light arrow of the arrowhead, which can be divided into four types: spike, duck, duck and crossbow, and the crossbow arrow is divided into four types: the crossbow arrow is slightly shorter, and the bow arrow is longer. As the saying goes, the stronger the bow, the longer the arrow.
If you want to make an iron arrowhead workshop at the present level, you should start with a big bow first, and strive to make every sergeant have a bow. Everyone in the county can draw a bow. If it takes years to make a bow, it will take years. ""There is no such thing as a quick way. "
Chen Jin Cao Li, a craftsman in bow material, has figured out a way. First, they cut down the thick and strong bamboo, then stripped it vertically, and then cut it into sections with holes at both ends, so that the bamboo bow can take fifty or sixty steps. It is barely no problem for guarding the city to match the iron arrow.
Newly-recruited 600 county soldiers naturally began to practice archery with a big bow. At present, Li Chongjiu, a rogue force near the strength balance of Feihu County, needs them to be able to hold the county seat, and they can also stretch their crossbows first. At present, there are ten pieces of progress in a month, or wait until the blast furnace waterwheel is built before putting into research.
Winter snow flies by at the age of one.
At the beginning, the family mansion has now become the residence of the ruined people in the county. Despite the snow in winter, the people in Feihu County have had a fairly warm winter. Everyone’s face is beaming and busy for several months. The craftsmen and soldiers in the county are all allowed to have a holiday and have a family reunion by Li Chongjiu. "Jiang Shanguo Se Chapter 153 Cast Iron" Li Chongjiu gave everyone in the county a bucket of millet for the holiday.
In the artisan workshop, the newly incorporated artisans are all enjoying the delicious food. Chen Jin Cao ordered people to kill several pigs and rectify the meat stuffing together with flour to make prison pills. The craftsmen ate soup cakes, prison pills and a pot of thick pig bone soup. Everyone’s face was shiny and shiny, and I felt more comfortable than when I was a thief.
Li Chongjiu didn’t force these rogue to work, but let them work hard for half a year to atone for their sins. After half a year, they can stay and help themselves, and they can be granted farmland cultivation near the county seat. Therefore, rogue thieves don’t have much negative thoughts. Just after this year, the blast furnace waterwheel was built together.
Heavy snow, Li Chong, Jiu ‘an, sitting in the lobby of the county government, settled in the iron smelting and cast iron craftsman workshop of Feihu County, and handed it over to Cao Li, a craftsman in Chen Jin, while one thousand county soldiers handed it over to Zhao Wansan, the chief thin of county commandant Gao Chu, to handle the big and small affairs for him.
One thing at a time, I arranged to go to Li Chongjiu and drive hūn after the snow melted, and then I set off and led myself to ride back to Huaihuang Town. "Jiangshan Guo Se" It is a big event for Li Chongjiu to go to the county government and look at the snow all over the sky. I wonder if Jinyang Li Zhiwan has been preparing a gift for Li Fu this year. I wonder if Su Su has sent it to the government for him.
When Li Chongjiu thought about it, he saw that the horseshoe suddenly sounded from far to near in the snowy day.
"The duke exultation! Great joy! "
Chen Jin Cao’s face was covered with snow, and he rode to the front of Li Chongjiu. He rode to the front of Li Chongjiu and said, "The duke is so happy!"
Aside from the county government, Zhao Zhubo Xicao Office and others are all going to look at Chen Jin Cao. This face is full of joy and Se is not in front of the door at the moment. Li Chongjiu laughs. "Speak slowly."
Chen Jin Cao Dang took out a red cloth from her arms and carefully opened it. After presenting a treasure, she held Li Chongjiu in front of her and said, "The Duke has become!"
Li Chongjiu’s "Entertainment Show" weighed the black pimple in the red cloth and felt heavy and with a touch of heat in his hand.
Chen Jin Cao almost said with tears in his eyes, "The duke luckily didn’t fail to accomplish his mission. Our blast furnace became a good iron! It’s really good iron! "
He couldn’t help but think of a passage at the moment, saying that the Han people have been banished from Henan since the Yellow Emperor came, and now they are dependent on the prosperity of China. When the four barbarians still used stone weapons, our ancestors had bronze swords and arrows, and when the four barbarians used bronze weapons, our ancestors had strong crossbows with iron swords; By the time we reached Siyi, our ancestors had put on armor and held steel swords.
In the Western Han Dynasty, China’s iron smelting was just mature and it was the first time to respond to weapons on a large scale. At that time, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led the big fellow cavalry to gallop across the grassland with ring-head knives and armored armor to expel the Xiongnu and sweep across Mobei. Therefore, there is a cloud that the martial arts of emperors in China in the past dynasties was the Hanwu to be continued.
Chapter one hundred and fifty-four Hu ride beyond the Great Wall
Flying fox county artisan workshop can forge iron after forging, which can forge all kinds of ironware. Li Chongjiu first wants to forge armor. Before the Cangtou army, he distinguished jīng Zhi from Wu Benlang and got 300 armored weapons. Except for 200 armored ones, all of them were equipped to the team. It is already very scarce to add the number of armor damaged and replaced in the war.
At present, the self-made j Τ ng iron flying fox county artisan workshop can be used to build armored helmets, regardless of a piece of armored helmet, it needs at least 20 Jin. J Τ ng iron armor needs leather in addition to J Τ ng iron, and Li Chongjiu’s eyes need leather most. After defeating the Turkic A-drop department last year, the horses and sheep were slaughtered, except meat, and the skins were all made of nitrate. It is extremely stressful to make armor and draw out 1000 pieces of ripe leather roots. After Li Chongjiu organized the workshop, he could produce 10 pieces of armor every month, and
Li Chongjiu, who has not melted in the winter snow, led two hundred armored soldiers to ride two regiments and trained four hundred county soldiers to return to Huaihuang Town from Feihu County. This time, he found that it was no longer the original barren road through Lingqiu County. It has been found that many refugees in the four fields have returned to Lingqiu County and started to return to 1Ri soil for hūn tillage. When the team came to the county seat, the city outside was still very broken, but there were actually people’s strong people who began to repair the four cities.
And Li Chongjiu, the county wall, also saw the flag of the Sui army entering the city, only to find out that Chen Xiaoyi, the county chief of Yanmen County, actually meant to stick to the Great Wall of Yan County and temporarily give up the area around the Great Wall.
Li Chongjiu went straight to the county government to meet Chen Xiaoyi, the county magistrate, but Hedong entered honest and frank and never died in vain. A death row man contradicted the satrap Su Weiyan. If the satrap wanted to be sentenced to death, he would kill himself first and then be promoted to the prime minister. He appreciated Chen Xiaoyi very much and recognized it as a rare strength. After the official pulled out the empire, he let him come to Yanmen County and became an official. After that, the people regarded his parents with integrity.
