This chapter makes up last night's.

—————

Because the Chu people had a strong concept of the country, it was much easier to manage the soldiers. There was no need for the "Wolf Comes" move. It was almost done if the Censor had to release the Qin Rule and assign the Censor to take a unit to supervise.

Chen Bing was more interested in the ironwork workshop in Shouchun.

Chen Bing took Jian with him.

I still have some doubts:

"Why don't the deputy general look at the ironwork workshop first?"

In the opinion of the general, the generals should be more concerned about weapons and equipment, that is, bronze products.

But what Shen Bing wanted to see when he came up was iron tools...

Chen Bing only replied casually:

"What are the good things about the weapons given by my Daqin?"

"Iron tools are related to agricultural tools, but our army is short of food and grass. What should we see if we don't look at iron tools?"

I felt it was right to say this by Chen Bing, so I didn't say anything more.

In fact, Chen Bing's move knew that iron is the king in the future and bronze ware is destined to be eliminated, so of course he first looked at the iron ware workshop.

The Tie Official in Shouchun was a Chu man named Biǎn (meaning hat). (Note: The Tie Official is called the Chief, and the Adjutant is called the Chief).

In fact, the officials in Shouchun were still organized according to the time when King Chu Fu Chu was Fu Chu, so they were all from Chu.

The reason why they did not replace them was that Shen Bing, Yang Duan and his subordinates were all army and could only fight wars but not in charge. It would not be possible to replace them all with a bunch of officials from Qin.

If all these officials were removed and soldiers who knew nothing were arranged to deal with it, I was afraid that Shouchun would be in chaos.

This also corresponds to the saying: "It is easy to attack the city and it is difficult to defend the city."

So Chen Bing simply asked the officials to continue working. As for whether Ying Zheng will replace them in the future... that is not something that Chen Bing can decide.

In fact, there is no need to change these officials, because it is good to manage the Chu people, and the Qin army only needs to control the regime tightly.

There is a saying that "fist is the hard truth." As long as the regime is in the hands of the Qin army, are you still afraid that these officials will rebel or do things in a mess?

Do you want a head?

What's more, even the King of Chu surrendered, and Shouchun would be the territory of Qin State in the future. These people, including officials, were all Qin people and should not be called Chu people. Of course, they could continue to do it if they could do it well.

If it were all replaced by Qin people to become officials...

First of all, it is because it distrusts the people of Shouchun.

Secondly, the Qin army has captured countless cities in the past six months. Zhao, Wei, and now Chu, every city from top to bottom is replaced. How can it be exchanged?

Therefore, even if Ying Zheng handled it in the future, at most, he would just replace the chief officer and rectify it and improve the system.

Bencheng came up in fear and said to Shen Bing:

"The Iron Chief... I have met the deputy general."

Chen Bing heard the voice of the barbarian trembled a little, and couldn't help but look at him in confusion, but saw him trembling like a sieve.

There is no need to ask Chen Bing why this is.

This scared the Qin army.

What Chen Bing didn't know was that Ben actually scared him.

If it were the Qin army, this guy wouldn't be too worried.

Because the Qin army occupied other cities, whether they were pitted or killed, they were mostly military generals or princes and nobles, most of them were kept for appointment, unless they were corrupt and corruption and misleading their power to occupy their positions and do not do anything...

There are really many officials like Chu State.

The reason is that its internal affairs are very complex, and various forces and relationships are incorrectly formed. A position, especially a position with good and low prices, is often fought for by several forces.

However, one position cannot be divided into a number of families, so they can only set up multiple deputy positions for all forces to share.

The result is that the institutions are extremely complex, and many people just take idle positions but don’t do anything.

Bian is not a person who does not do things. He was a blacksmith and was attracted by the King of Chu because of his iron-making skills, so he became an iron official.

He has skills and has nothing to do with the King of Chu and the nobles of Chu. Bianzhao thought that his life should be worry-free and even used by Qin.

Therefore, he was welcomed by the Qin army's capture of Shouchun. Although he was afraid, he also had some expectations.

However, while he was supervising the worker, he was stunned when he heard that Shen Bing was coming to inspect.

Although Ben only cares about military and political affairs, the name of Shen Bing has already spread throughout the Chu State.

Who is Shen Bing?

He defeated Xiang Yan several times and defeated Ruyin and finally captured the King of Chu alive!

Such a hero actually came to the Iron Tool Workshop to inspect?

More importantly, Shen Bing is said to be a worker. Could it be that he knows the art of iron smelting?

If he made a mistake, wouldn't it be...

When he thought of this, his heart became nervous, and his legs couldn't help but become weak when he stood in front of Shen Bing.

Chen Bing comforted:

"Nothing important, I'm just here to take a look."

"How much iron can you produce in your iron smelting workshop in a month?"

Ben bowed his hand and replied:

"After the deputy, the monthly output is different."

"Last month, more than 1,130 kilograms of iron were produced."

Chen Bing said "Oh".

It is only more than a thousand kilograms, which is not much for a capital city.

But this is not surprising.

In this era, bronze was used more commonly, while iron was only used as agricultural tools because of its immature smelting technology.

Moreover, the farm tools are only partially reinforced with iron.

For example, iron plows, iron hoes, etc., the main body is still made of wooden, and only a layer of iron is covered with the part in direct contact with the land at the front end.

In addition, it is not during the busy farming season, so the yield is naturally not high.

Chen Bing looked around and asked:

"Iron Smelting House is..."

Ben hurriedly took a step to the left and said to a dirt house:

"This is the Iron Smelting House, please ask the deputy general."

Chen Bing guessed that this is the same.

Because iron smelting requires fire smelting, high-temperature iron is everywhere, so wooden houses are definitely not suitable.

When I entered the door, I saw a wave of heat coming, and there were more than a dozen blast furnaces, and a group of workers were busy.

The workers who were not notified could not help but slow down their movements when they saw Chen Bing, wearing Qin army armor, and their group came in, their eyes were full of confusion and fear.

Ben was worried that Chen Bing would blame him and rushed forward to urge him, so the workers hesitated and became busy again, and their movements seemed to be much more quick than before.

Cylindrical blast furnace, human-powered blower in the skin, and charcoal is used as fuel.

Chen Bing turned around in the blast furnace for a while, then asked what he felt was wrong around him:

"Is Daqin so smelting iron like this?"

Owe answers:

"Report to the deputy general, all countries in the Central Plains are like this."

This seems to be expected.

Although the Central Plains countries were also wary of each other and were cautious not to let their iron smelting technology flow to other countries, driven by interests, craftsmen or the people would do everything possible to improve themselves by learning or even stealing technology.

Over time, the iron smelting technology of various countries is almost the same.

If there is any difference, it is some details, such as the ratio of bronze copper to tin, iron is the content of carbon, etc.

These are difficult to unify. In this era, even the master who has been practicing iron for a lifetime cannot explain the reason.

But of course, Shen Bing doesn't need to grop.
