Sometimes, people's thinking is always easy to get stuck at a certain point.
If this point is unlocked, thoughts will flow like a spring and produce unexpected effects.
Ma Xinyuan at this moment is exactly like this.
In this era, blacksmithing is a technical job.
And there is still a certain degree of privacy.
If he were not a master and apprentice, he would not be able to say some technical things.
Some people even pass on their craftsmanship only to their descendants without passing on their surnames.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this limitation that there is very little communication between blacksmiths.
Many people are still on guard against others stealing their skills.
Therefore, there are certain differences among blacksmiths in terms of smelting technology and forging methods.
For example, Ma Xinyuan's ancestors regarded the skills of blacksmithing and mining as unique skills of the Ma family and refused to pass them on to others.
The reason why Ma Xinyuan accepted Zhao Xiaoliu as his disciple was out of gratitude.
When he first came to Wangjiangluojia, it was Zhao Xiaoliu's mother, Aunt Zhao, who gave him a lot of help.
Even when he came to Duanjiabao, Duan Wenjun trusted him.
Not only did they give him wages that he would never earn in Wangjiang, but they also entrusted him with the important task of being responsible for the entire blacksmith shop and mine.
In fact, the last time he went into the mountains and was bitten by a venomous snake, even Dr. Hua thought he had to have his leg amputated.
But Duan Wenjun not only saved his life, but also saved his legs, preventing him from dragging one leg through the rest of his life.
Therefore, Ma Xinyuan has always been very grateful and thought that he must use what he has learned throughout his life to repay Duan Wenjun.
But even so, he had never considered teaching the people around him before.
Duan Wenjun gathered the blacksmiths and taught them how to use blast furnaces to make iron and forge steel. Ma Xinyuan was shocked.
He is an old blacksmith, so he naturally understands that if Duan Wenjun's method is feasible, it will bring about changes in iron tools.
Just imagine, if he knew these technologies, would he be willing to share them and teach them to others?
The answer is, of course, impossible.
However, Duan Wenjun not only taught him, but also taught everyone present.
At that moment, Ma Xinyuan had a lot on his mind.
He also had many thoughts in his mind.
He knew that Duan Wenjun could brew wine, make soap, and raise pigs...
These, no matter which one they are, can be said to have brought about changes in this era.
No matter which one, it can bring huge profits to Duanjiabao.
Therefore, he knew that these new things might be extremely common things for Duan Wenjun.
However, for others, this is not the case.
Even, it makes people salivate.
This is especially true for steelmaking.
If this hundred steel-making experiments were successful, Duan Wenjun might feel that this was just one of the many new things he had tinkered with.
However, Ma Xinyuan didn't think so.
He had it in mind from the beginning.
Unlike spirits, soap and spotted pigs, this new iron forging method might bring disaster to Duan Jiabao.
The gentleman is not guilty, but the jade is guilty.
Spirits, soap and spotted pigs, they just bring business profits. To put it bluntly, they can make more money.
But as an old blacksmith, he naturally understood the consequences of this change in iron tools.
There will be more people who covet it.
In fact, someone might not be able to steal it, but might even take it by force.
He understands the importance of the data Duan Wenjun mentioned.
When he forged that hoe, he had already kept it in mind.
However, he felt that if everyone's data were analyzed together and everyone knew about this technology, there would be problems.
He frowned, pulled Duan Wenjun aside, and expressed his worries.
Duan Wenjun's brows also furrowed.
Ma Xinyuan made a good analysis. Not all of the dozen or so blacksmiths here know the ins and outs.
People's hearts are separated from each other, and no one knows what anyone thinks.
Especially the blacksmiths from Moon Island.
None of them were locals, and some were even recruited just after they defected to Moon Island.
I feel that I don’t trust people when I employ them, and I don’t use people when I doubt them.
Although I can't be wrong, I looked at things too simply and handled them too simply.
Duan Wenjun may understand this truth as a man of two generations.
When Shaodaozi wine comes out that day, Wang Xiaoming can take a desperate risk and want to sell the brewing formula and technology to Zhao Dachui.
This steel-making technology is much more important than the wine-making technology, and it may lead to changes in weapons in this era.
If it were known to outsiders, it would probably be easier to be remembered.
"Old Ma, do you have any suggestions?" Duan Wenjun looked towards Ma Xinyuan.
Since he raised this issue, he should have thought of a way to deal with it.
"Young master, the most important steps in our steel forging are five steps. Smelting, mold making, forging, shaping and quenching." Ma Xinyuan frowned. "In the early stage, we can start with farm tools, so that everyone can Everyone is familiar with the entire forging process.”
"However, everyone's experience is different, and each blacksmith is good at different aspects. Just like this batch of hoes, the quality of the production is different, which is also due to the differences in the techniques of the masters. "
"We can explore what each master is good at while making the hoe. Then we divide it into five groups based on their expertise, and each group is responsible for a link to conduct experiments and research."
"Then, the Shaodong family will find a few more credible people to collect and supervise the data, integrate and coordinate all links. As long as these people are reliable, then the technology will definitely be in the hands of the Shaodong family. Even if we develop a way to make weapons , if the masters have problems, the technology will not be spread."
"Old Ma, you can do it! You actually came up with such a good idea." Duan Wenjun was overjoyed when he heard this. He patted his shoulder and said, "We will do it the way you said. You have the final say on how to arrange the personnel."
The method proposed by Ma Xinyuan is actually similar to the model of Duanjia Winery.
Through assembly line operations, each worker only knows one link.
Even if the process leaks, it may not be all the process, and it will not have much impact on the finished product.
Previously, the blacksmith workshop had just started operating and it was still in the experimental stage. Duan Wenjun only wanted to quickly break through the technical problems without thinking too much.
But he didn't expect that Ma Xinyuan would actually think of it.
Suddenly, he was impressed.
"How can I have such ability!" Ma Xinyuan smiled honestly. "I went back to Duanjiabao a few days ago. When I was worrying about this matter, I met Miss Lin and she taught me the method."
"Miss Lin? Which Miss Lin?" Duan Wenjun was stunned.
"That's Miss Lin Shu'er!" Ma Xinyuan replied, "Miss Lin has used weapons in my blacksmith shop several times before, and she has a good relationship with my wife."
Duan Wenjun couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.
Lin Shuer?
She actually knows this, why didn't she know it before?
Lin Shuer had already left for the capital with Luo Liangping the day before yesterday. She didn't know what happened on the way...
