Compared with the arrogance of the Xu family craftsmen, these migrant craftsmen have a very high enthusiasm for honing and improving their skills and transforming and innovating various technical craftsmen, because they have seen many examples, because of an insignificant invention or proposal, the whole family

From a slave to a good person, he has a family property and has a life of a middle-aged and superior family. Such rewards naturally make everyone enthusiastic. For such enthusiasm, the craftsmen from the Xu family always sneer at this enthusiasm, but they dare not relax in secret.

His eldest son Xu Housheng, who works, never favors those from the Xu family.

However, whether it is the Xu family, the refugee, or the craftsmen they defect to, everyone has one thing in common, that is, they all look down on these ghosts, with such high noses, blue-green eyes, and so many hairs all over their bodies.

I know what skills I know, but I don’t know why Master Jin values ​​it so much. Doesn’t this seem to be incompetent in our country?

The iron-making style of Lao Mai who drank all day was very ordinary, and now he is a quarrel. He heard that he had this position because he gave Jin Ye a tip for making cannons. He was really lucky.

It must have been blessed by the foreign Bodhisattva.

What makes people even more angry is that Yu Shan finally came from the Xu family and could lead the way for everyone to support him, but he was always stumbling with those fans all day long and always said something about asking for advice. It's a joke. The world is

There are only two places where the bulk coal and iron are distributed, one is Xuzhou and the other is Foshan. There is no ability to learn in these two places, so I have to think about it with the ghost.

Since Yu Shan couldn't count on this, everyone was thinking about making progress in their own home, but on the other hand, they placed their hopes on the new Zhu Xingshu. Zhu Xingshu is a very strange person. When they talked to him about the work of slapping iron and burning fire.

He is proficient in everything, looking at the color on his face, the burns and scars on his hands and the calluses. These are all achieved by the old style, but his usual behavior looks like he is a miserable person. He always likes to do it.

Wearing a long gown on her body, shaking.

Although the style of the weekdays looks strange, the style of Zhu Xingshu really convinces everyone. Not only do they know the skills of the anvil, the hammer, and the furnace, but they are also proficient in the ghost things. Don't look at it.

I have to admit that those ghosts with high noses, deep eyes, blue eyes, and have their own methods to do iron work. They can't understand the language and are difficult to ask, but this Zhu Xingshu can answer everyone's answers, which is even more rare.

Yes, he never hides his own personalities and teaches his skills to everyone without reservation, which is really admirable.

"This Zhu Xingshu is a royal family in Huguang, but the King of Chu in Huguang was dominated by more than 20 generals and auxiliary generals. The two dozen or so companies have to decide whether to make big or small matters.

There is not even a way out for these twenty families. Zhu Xingshu has been poor since childhood. He worked in a blacksmith shop at the age of nine. He has an understanding in this industry, but when he was fifteen, he will be in this city.

The general of Fengguo wanted to occupy this blacksmith shop, but he felt that a royal family had a ugly workmanship and wanted to drive him away. As a result, he killed the other party's guard in anger and escaped from Huguang. Regarding the origin of Zhu Xingshu, Xu Housheng came from

Li Laohai knows it very clearly.

After Zhu Xingshu ran out of Huguang, he went to Foshan, Guangdong. The iron industry was prosperous there, which was the place where he could use his craftsmanship. After working there for a while, his craftsmanship and knowledge increased a lot, but also

Hearing a rumor, the enemy in Huguang knew that he was here and had sent someone to catch him. As a result, he naturally did not dare to stay. During his time in Foshan, he always heard that the Westerners' iron casting skills have a different pattern.

, which also made him very moved.

After all, they are children of the royal family. They are poor and have different vision and pattern than ordinary craftsmen. They also have the idea of ​​traveling around the world. They simply left Foshan and went to Nanyang in Xiangshan County and Macau. They went overseas and must have suffered some hardships.

, but I survived with good luck and learned real skills.

The Spanish, Portuguese and the Netherlands are not generous and do not hide their own personalities, but the local white people are short of human resources. In this humid and hot climate, no one is engaged in this work of tormenting fire. The local natives are extremely stupid.

Not only can they not accept the skills of forging and smelting, they are even very afraid of places like blacksmith workshops. As for the Han people from the Ming Dynasty, they are all-in-one and have their own skills to open their own shops. There are too few who know how to do business like Zhu Xingshu.

Just learned the skills.

It is rare for people like Zhu Xingshu. Not only for the local white people, but also for those sea lords and sea merchants. Although the sea merchant ships are all merchant ships, the pirates and naval battles are just a casual way to do it, but the cannons on the ship

There are also many firearms, at least they have the capital to defend themselves.

Although there are a lot of shoddy goods, they can't be thrown away if they are broken. If they really can't be used, they have to be repaired. However, the workshops of foreigners are either only for foreign government troops, or they have no spare time to do business with maritime merchants.

It is very rare for Han people like Zhu Xingshu and Han people who know how to build firearms.

After the title was revealed, several sea owners wanted to recruit him, but in the end they were taken over by Li Laohai's relatives. Although they were recruiting him, they finally treated him as a craftsman and paid limited attention to him. This way, they were so

Li Laohai is coming to give it to Zhao Jin.

"It may not matter to them, but to us this is a tribute. Zhu Xingshu understands Folang Ji's words. With him, we can learn the skills of these foreign masters." Xu Housheng introduced it very much.

carefulness.

Zhao Jin nodded repeatedly. He recognized Xu Housheng's judgment. Even a foreigner who was very skilled in speaking official language like Louis was still much worse than Zhu Xingshu. Especially in terms of communication, Zhu Xingshu will have great uses.

.

"Although Li Laohai took a lot of money, he did a lot of money for us. What did he want? Or what did the relatives behind him want?" Zhao Jin asked a question, without showing goodwill for no reason

, Li Laohai is so proactive, he must have something to do.

"Brother-in-law, I asked Yu Zhiyuan where he said that such old sea dogs are used to lending first, and then collecting debts after saving too much. Whatever he wants should come to him." Xu Housheng smiled and said

Answered.

It turns out that Zhao Jin and his friends have a good reputation for Zhu Xingshu. The Burgers brothers have been improving the cannon stands and cannon cars for a few months. They have designed the style of a large car base designed by Yushan.

It has been changed to a large cart wheel and axle, with an iron frame fixed cannon on it. Such a cannon cart is more sturdy and flexible than the one in Yushan, and can adjust the firing angle.

After this design was made, Xu Housheng and Louis arranged for the carpenter to make a model and send it to Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin was very satisfied with this style, which was very close to his requirements.

However, there are problems with this design, that is, the artillery is heavy, and it requires good iron materials to be used to create such a gun stand, and it is necessary to have a lot of production tasks. The production task of the Zhaozi Campfire Factory is already very heavy, and the blacksmiths keep forging iron materials.

When building a musket, it is not enough to care about the production of this gun mount. Everyone has also considered that forging such gun mount materials consumes too much iron and labor, which is not worth it at present.

Zhao Jin was helpless about the limitations of production capacity, but when Zhu Xingshu came, he and the Burgers brothers took a few days to pull Louis and the others away, and he actually created a hydraulic forging hammer business.

"I don't know that some of these foreigners have little knowledge and some have narrow ideas, but more of them have seen but don't know what's going on." Zhu Xingshu has his own explanation of the invention of this hydraulic forging hammer.

This hydraulic forging hammer could not be built in a hurry. At present, Zhaoziying expanded, the firearm factory and even the entire Xu family's production capacity are producing muskets and building armor, so the hydraulic forging hammer has also drawn a drawing and then found a carpenter.

I made a model and sent it to me.

After seeing this, Zhao Jin was really surprised. Because of the reasons in his memory, he was very interested in machinery that could replace or reduce human resources, but he had never been able to advance, from Louis to Old McGrath, Brothers Burgers

They said that they had seen water conservancy machinery, but they didn't understand how to build it. Unexpectedly, they were actually made by craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone in Zhao's camp knew that Jin Ye never stings in rewarding military merits and craftsmanship. Zhu Xingshu was immediately promoted to the position of supervisor. He had only been here for a few days and was on par with Louis and Yushan.

What everyone didn't expect was that the current expansion and restructuring of Zhaoziying was full of manpower and materials allocation, and it was very complicated, and all the people were busy. Zhao Jin saw Zhu Xingshu many times in a row, but he really didn't know that Jin

Why is my master so interested in what craftsmanship is doing?

"Master Jin, when we build this musket barrel, we must use good cooked iron. First, dig a hole on the ground, cover it with bricks and stones, wait until the blast furnace is out, put the iron into the pit, and then

Stir with a wooden stick, pick it up and forge it, and then go back to melt it. It just goes on and on. This time, the beats can be beaten and used, and more than 20 pounds of pig iron have become more than two pounds.

It consumes too much manual labor time and it will save a lot of effort. Moreover, the axle base of the cannon mount is large, so it is more convenient to use this forging hammer to hit it." Although Zhu Xingshu was also

Those who have suffered from hardships are from the royal family and have traveled around the world, so they can talk about it in front of Zhao Jin.

This time, everyone was there. Wang Zhaojing, Cao Ruhui, Xu Housheng and others kept looking at Zhao Jin. They thought that it was rare to see Zhao Jin so happy. Then look at Zhu Xingshu, who was middle-aged.

I think what outstanding one can be like such a devastating royal family?

"How do you know the structure of this hydraulic forging hammer?" Zhao Jin asked with a smile.
