The ferrosilicon ore mine was also very busy. Large quantities of iron ore were transported from outside, one car after another. The scene was so spectacular that Luo Zhang looked at it at the door and shook his head with a wry smile.
But there is nothing we can do about it. The main reason is that there is a lot of iron ore required to refine artillery. One artillery weighs a thousand kilograms, and Luo Zhang wants a hundred cannons. You can imagine how much iron ore is needed. .
Entering the ferrosilicon mine, the mining workers in the mine are also very busy. Ferrosilicon is needed to smelt iron ore into steel, so the demand for ferrosilicon ore is not small, and the miners are mining day and night.
Luo Zhang divided them into three teams, each with an eight-hour system, which won the gratitude of all the miners.
You know, when would something like this happen in other mines?
It's good to have enough food, and there's a lot of work. You have to work for more than ten hours every day before you can rest, and you don't even have much food to eat. It's not as comfortable as here in Luo Zhang. Not only do you have enough to eat, but you only have to do a lot of work every day. After eight hours of work, you can rest. For these miners, this place is simply a paradise.
Therefore, the miners work extremely hard without being lazy at all. They are not like other mines at all. They have to be constantly urged by guards with whips before they can work. The guards here are just decorations. There was nothing to do every day, and there was no chance to use the whip, and Luo Zhang wouldn't let them use the whip.
After inspecting the work in the mine, Luo Zhang went straight to the weapons workshop, which was divided into two parts. One part was for making various weapons and armors. Of course, the material used was steel.
Another part was surrounded, and the artillery Luo Zhang needed was built inside.
Since the secret of the artillery cannot be leaked, most of the craftsmen who enter there do not give it out if they have nothing to do. They are always being served by someone who eats, drinks, and has sex. They do not need to worry about anything. Their only task is to build artillery, or to build artillery.
The first artillery had been built seven or eight days ago and was pulled down to the Qilian Mountains for testing. The results of the testing satisfied Luo Zhang and surprised all the craftsmen and masters. They did not expect that they The thing he created was so powerful. Only then did he know why Luo Zhang had to guard it so closely, for fear of leaking the news.
After that, the master strictly abided by Luo Zhang's orders and controlled all the craftsmen, not allowing them to leave the silica ore. This made Luo Zhang very satisfied.
Luo Zhang first took a look at the construction of the weapons and armor. The Mitsubishi Thorn and military shovels were very good. The armor was even more refined, which made Luo Zhang very satisfied.
For this reason, Luo Zhang also announced on the spot that each person would be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, which received the gratitude of all the craftsmen. One hundred taels was an astronomical figure for an ordinary family, enough money to live on for a lifetime.
One can imagine the excitement in the hearts of these craftsmen.
After inspecting the construction of weapons and armor, Luo Zhang, accompanied by the master craftsman, came to the tightly surrounded artillery workshop.
As soon as he entered Luo Zhang, he heard bursts of clanking sounds. Looking for the sound, he saw a burly, shirtless man, hammering the steel in front of him, and not far away. Here, there are more big men smelting steel for the use of the big men knocking on the side.
The whole process was completed in one go, smoothly, without any stagnation, and the connection was perfect.
Seeing this, Luo Zhang couldn't help but nod. With such skillful cooperation, one hundred artillery pieces would be built in no time.
"Master, you did a good job. I will ask someone to bring some meat tomorrow. The craftsmen work so hard and can't live without meat. They have to feed me every day so that I have the strength to work. I must continue to work hard to complete my work as soon as possible. Mission!" Luo Zhang warned.
"Yes, sir, I will never delay your mission!" the master promised.
Luo Zhang nodded, checked the quality of the cannon again, and then turned and left the ferrosilicon ore factory.
After leaving the ferrosilicon ore factory, Luo Zhang did not return to Chang'an, but headed towards Yushan.
He is the commander of Yushan, so he can't help but take a look, and now the person guarding Yushan for him is Chen Kuifeng.
According to Luo Zhang's arrangement, Chen Kuifeng and Wu Shaobin were alone for a week, otherwise it would not be good to leave Wu Shaobin alone all the time. The two of them complemented each other in rotation.
By the time Luo Zhang arrived at Yushan, the sun was already setting in the west, so Luo Zhang didn't stay too long. He just took a look around to check out the situation and show his face to show that he was here.
Then Luo Zhang went down to Yushan and went to the fields where corn was grown to inspect.
After so many days, the corn finally broke through the ground and was already less than half a person tall!
Counting the days, we will be able to harvest in autumn!
Wait until autumn to see if the corn he planted has special effects!
When they returned to Chang'an, night had fallen. Fortunately, the city gate was not closed yet, so Luo Zhang was able to enter the city smoothly. Otherwise, Luo Zhang would have had to spend the night outside.
He has so many enemies, and it's not a good idea to stay out all night.
After returning home, Luo Zhang, who had been running around all day, simply ate some food and then went back to his room and fell asleep. He was really tired.
However, he didn't sleep for long. Luo Zhang got up before dawn, washed and changed clothes, had breakfast, and headed towards the imperial city gate.
Because of the birth of a child, His Majesty gave Luo Zhang two days' leave. Today is the third day and he has to go to court in the morning.
When he arrived at the imperial city gate, he saw that the place was very lively. Whether they were civil servants or military officers, they were all gathered together in twos and threes, and they seemed to be discussing something!
Naturally, Luo Zhang would not go to the civilian officials, but went straight to the military attachés.
As soon as they reached Cheng Yaojin and others, they heard Cheng Yaojin's loud voice coming from the crowd.
"Feng An is so dishonest, I'm going to rip off his head and use it as a ball this time!" Cheng Yaojin cursed.
"How are you sure it's you? I think His Majesty will send me there!" Yuchi Jingde said unconvinced.
Luo Zhang was slightly startled when he heard the name Feng An, Feng An? Did he rebel? Shouldn't it?
