"We have ten factories here, and each factory has eight water conservancy hammers. Generally, two can be forged in one hour. If there are eighty water conservancy hammers, one hundred and sixty can be forged in one hour."
After some apprentices have forged weapons, a dedicated person will come to collect them and grind them together in another factory.
Whetstones of different types, sizes, and shapes are fixed on some equipment, and gears made by Zhang Yumeng are used to increase torque to achieve rapid rotation.
The craftsmen skillfully placed the iron knives on the whetstone, and after a while, the blades were ready.
Apply grease to the iron knife and put it into the scabbard. This is the end of the craftsmanship of the knife.
Everyone present took a breath of disbelief.
"It's really unbelievable. If so, wouldn't it be easy to forge weapons? Can the quality be passed down?" Wang Jian raised his own question.
As a military commander, weapons are his second life, so he cannot help but care about them.
Lao Xia stroked his beard and looked at him, then smiled and said, "Do you have any weapons?"
"Of course~~!"
Wang Jian directly drew out the iron sword.
I saw Ou Yexia pull out an iron knife from the shelf and chop it down directly.
Wang Jian narrowed his eyes and instinctively raised his sword to block.
"Dang~~~~!"
The iron sword was cut directly from it.
Wang Jian's eyes widened and he looked at the broken sword in his hand in disbelief, "So powerful?"
Ou Yexia proudly mounted the sword and sneered, "Fighting? You haven't seen how General Yang kills the enemy. I heard from the soldiers on the front line that General Yang used the iron sword to cut down with one strike, and the Huns didn't block it or not." , almost split in half, this is so fierce."
"Hiss~~~!"
Wang Jian shook his head, being able to split a person wearing clothes or armor in half with the weapon in his hand, how strong it must be.
Yang Gan waved his hand, "Hahaha, Master Ouye, don't make fun of me. I'm just doing my duty."
He said he was doing his duty, but the pride on his face was visible to everyone and couldn't be concealed at all.
"Haha, young master, you are too modest. Everything here was created by you and Zhang Xiaoniang. This old man has been forging iron all his life, and this is the first time he has discovered that forging weapons is so simple."
"Master Ouye, when will all our border troops be replaced by Su Tiandao?" Yang Qianke has been worried about this issue.
Ou Yexia took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Master, don't worry, there is no war now anyway. We can forge 160 guns in the factory every hour, and we can forge for five hours a day. That is, we can forge 800 guns every day."
"According to the master's request, the craftsmen are given one day's rest every seven days, which means more than 20,000 pieces per month, but I suggest that the number be limited to 18,000 pieces per month."
Yang Gan looked at him straightly, "Reason?"
"I want to expand the factory and set aside some craftsmen to make hydraulic hammers. The more factories there are, the faster the speed will be in the future."
"That's no problem."
Yang Qian understands that building more factories is a one-time investment and will only get faster in the future.
"Don't forget, after all the weapons have been replaced, the armor can be forged. By the way, part of the horse armor can also be forged."
"I understand." Ou Yexia is a blacksmith.

Having work to do is his greatest pleasure, and he also gets money from it.
"How much money does it cost to forge this sword?" King Xia Wen couldn't help but ask.
Yang Gan frowned and calculated, then shook his head, "Forging used to cost 1,500 yuan a piece, but now it's cheaper. It's probably only about 500 yuan. The mines are mine, and I sell them to the army cheaply. The coal is also mine, and even the miners are mine." Since they are slaves, the cost is naturally reduced, and most of the money is given to the craftsmen, five hours a day."
"How much does it cost to charge a craftsman?"
"Only 2,000 dollars!"
King Xia Wen nodded, "2,000 yuan a year is quite a deal."
Yang Gan was surprised and said, "Lao Xia, do you have a misunderstanding about craftsmen?"
"A craftsman has a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan. He goes to and from get off work on time every day, and gets an extra 300 yuan a month. Every time he is late, he deducts 100 yuan. Ou Yexia has more, with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, and a year-end bonus at the end of the year.
"My mother~~~!"
King Xia Wen jumped directly, "You loser!!!"
He looked very ugly and said, "Do you know how much 5,000 yuan a month is? It is 60,000 yuan a year, which is more than an official with an annual salary of 600 stone."
Yang Gan smiled and shook his head, "You are too stupid. Remember what I said, what do ordinary people do when they have money?"
King Xia Wen said impatiently, "That's what you said, spend money and build a family."
"Yes, to buy things, to consume, to enjoy, then the court can collect taxes. The more we earn and the more taxes we collect, the more money our country can have. When the country is rich, can't we recruit more people?" The army."
Following Yang Qian's thinking, King Xia Wen thought carefully, but found that "what you said makes sense, but I am speechless."
Yang Gan not only took King Xia Wen and others to see the factory building, but also various water conservancy facilities, water wheel mining belts, water conservancy shelling machines, water drainage and the like.
After the visit, Yang Gan said that everyone is friends, but these things must not be leaked. If they are obtained by other vassal states, it will be very troublesome.
After the equipment is updated, the equipment of the 100,000 frontier troops will become: holding iron swords, shields made of wooden shields wrapped with repeatedly tempered steel, and wearing armor made of steel.
Ordinary bows and arrows cannot penetrate armor made of iron and steel. These armors, which are made up of small blades connected in series, are not only moderate in weight, but also have amazing defensive capabilities.
"Don't worry, we are Xia people and we are absolutely loyal to the king and the country."
"That puts me at ease."
He said this, but Yang Qian knew in his heart that he could tell just by looking at the outline. Many key things were hidden under the wooden box, and many mechanical structures were made of gears.
The sizes are all different. Zhang Yumeng recorded it in modern writing. Apart from her and Yang Gan, almost no one in the world would know this writing.
The next day after staying one night in Zhuangzi.
Yang Gan exercised well in the morning and had breakfast. Seeing that the weather was extremely hot, he understood that the hotter it meant that it was about to cool down. Although he didn't know the principle, it was like this in Yang Gan's hometown before.
"General Yang, the weather is so nice today, why not go hunting in the mountains?" Wang Jian walked in with King Xia Wen and others.
Yang Gan finished the corn porridge, wiped his mouth, and shook his head, "Forget it, last time I went to hunt a tiger, I thought there was only one, but I didn't expect there were two. I almost broke it. There are many ferocious beasts in the nearby mountains and forests. General Wang, just go ahead. And cherish
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
ah. "
Suddenly, Lao Chen ran in in a panic and said anxiously, "Sir, it's not good. My grandson and a few cubs went to play in the morning. We haven't seen them for a long time. Someone saw them going into the mountains."
Yang Qian was stunned and immediately asked, "Did you see clearly?"
Old Chen knelt down directly and said, "Sir, I really don't have the face to beg you. There are wild beasts in the forest. Only you can go in and beg for help."
Yang Gan helped Lao Chen up and said to Krisna, "Bring me my armor and saber."
"Okay~~~!" Krisna was unambiguous and walked towards the stables at the back.
Regardless of Zhuangzi, because of Yang Qian's long-term plunder, many injured war horses were turned into pack horses here to help transport goods.
Wang Jian pointed at Lao Chen and said angrily, "You have neither an official position nor a scholar-official. You are just the head of Guizhou. How dare you put General Yang in danger? If General Yang is harmed, everyone in your village will lose their heads."
Yang Qian was stunned and smiled, "It's not that serious."
"General Yang, there is no problem with hunting, but these Guizhou leaders have such a purpose in asking you to save the children, but they have a terrible intention."
Krisna came in with the equipment, put it on Yang Gan, took out the knife and inspected it, then waved her hand.
"Let's go~~~~!"
Yang Gan took Krisna, Belika and Fujiko Jin with him. Mainly because Fujizi Jin was very curious about hunting, and because of the powerful tiger skin he saw in Zhuangzi, he couldn't bear it for a long time.
Wang Jian was dumbfounded, but he still shut up under King Xia Wen's eyes.
Just as he walked to the door, Yang Qian looked back, frowned and said, "Lao Xia, why don't you guys go too?"
"Hahaha, I heard about your reputation in Chaoxian, and I want to see it today."
Yang Gan was helpless. These guys went to save people by themselves, acting as if they were going on a trip. "Can't your clothes be good?"
King Xia Wen looked at the robe he was wearing, and immediately rolled up his sleeves. The hem of the robe was tucked into his belt. Although it was a bit nondescript, at least it would not affect his movements.
Yang Gan nodded, and the group set off.
After everyone trotted for a while, Yang Qian couldn't help but nodded. You really can't underestimate others these days. Even though Lao Xia's three good friends are so old, they can run without hesitation.
Fujiko Jin's physical condition was much better than before. At least after running for a while, he was only gasping for air.
After arriving in the forest, everyone checked together. Zhang Yumeng came over and said in admiration, "You are getting better and better. You can actually track."
Yang Qian looked around sternly and said in a serious voice, "What a shame. I originally wanted to trace the footprints, but I didn't expect that the child was not heavy, so he didn't leave any footprints."
Zhang Yumeng looked at him with her mouth wide open, "It means I can't find it."
Yang Gan crossed his arms and shook his head, "There is another way."
Zhang Yumeng smiled and pointed at him, "I know you won't do anything you're not sure about."
Just when she was about to watch Yang Qian perform wild survival, no, wild tracking, she saw Yang Qian covering his mouth with both hands, taking a deep breath and shouting suddenly.
"Little Huzi, where are you? Your grandpa asked me to call you home for dinner~~~~!"
=￣w￣=Zhang Yumeng said that she was really drunk. There was nothing she could do, but she could pretend to be so cool. She was really shameless.
