Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 484 Changes in Chaijiazhuang
Chai Lin was taken aback, this woman was so sensitive, she could feel any expression.

"Don't talk nonsense about turning off the lights and going to sleep."

Hu Sanniang got up and couldn't wait to extinguish the candle, and got into bed.

Chaijiazhuang is a bit noisy in the early morning. There are too many workers who get up early to go to work, and many women have to go to work.

The sounds of cows, horses, and donkeys, most people are still not used to life in the countryside.

The sanitation of Chaijiazhuang is very good. Special personnel are responsible for cleaning the roads, and the feces produced by the coming and going animals are cleaned up immediately.

In the Tiangong Second Battalion, Hu Youcai carried out a explosive modification of the pot pack machine.

A small steam tractor was made, with four front and rear tires and the rear two large tires as driving wheels.However, this tractor needs to be driven standing up, and two people are needed, one person is responsible for the steering wheel, brakes, etc.The other is responsible for burning the boiler.

Hu Youcai assigned a deputy, and drove the steam tractor on the road, woo hoo, hoo hoo.

It scared the carriages coming and going on the road enough, after all, it was the first time for horses, mules and other animals to see this smoking monster.On the road, Hu Youcai arranged for the boiler worker to add more charcoal, black smoke was sprayed from the chimney, and the speed increased to about [-] kilometers per hour.

The mule cart of the Four Seas Car Co. passed by easily, and the coachman joked, "This guy who spouts black smoke is so slow."

Hu Youcai ignored him, but how could a genius be as knowledgeable as an ordinary person.The water and coal of this steam tractor can make the car run a hundred miles, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to fill up the water and coal, and then it can continue to run.This mule horse is far from capable.

Hu Youcai ran to the West Village and then to the East Village.

He happened to meet Chai Lin, and when Chai Lin waved, Hu Youcai immediately stopped.

Chai Lin got off his horse, looked carefully, and found that he was quite able to toss around.

The head of this tractor is quite heavy, weighing at least one ton, and there are hundreds of catties of water in the boiler alone.There are hundreds of catties of coal.

"It's still too heavy. If such a big guy goes into the ground, the ground will be compacted. If it is lighter, the boiler will have less water and less coal. You can try to wrap it with iron armor to make a chariot. Tonight I will give You batch some consumables and manufacture them as soon as possible, and produce ten vehicles."

Hu Youcai said: "As long as the accessories are in place, the production will be very fast."

"Okay, I'll arrange to deliver accessories to you tonight."

It turned out that during this period of time, Chai Lin ran around and fought back and forth, ignoring the development of machinery.

However, the development of Tiangong No. 20 Battalion is not bad. The imitation small steam engine is used on the [-]-meter awning boat, which is very powerful in transporting goods on the canal.

But the steam engine is heavy, and the effect of using it on the road is inconsistent. Originally, I wanted to make a steam tractor for cultivating land, but because the weight of the vehicle itself was too heavy, there was no way to cultivate the land well. After several experiments, Hu Youcai finally made this one. This is a light steam tractor, which is suitable for arable land, and it is better for running on the road. It can run thirty miles in an hour, and the speed is quite fast.

It is a cast iron tire, and bumpy people can't stand it.

During this period of time, nothing happened, the army of the Daming Palace stopped, and the court also stopped.

In order to restore Qingzhou's economy as soon as possible, Chai Gang is shipping a large number of germinated potato seeds from Chaijiazhuang West Village, and then transporting them to the port and transporting them to Qingzhou by large ship.

This is the source of goods for the caravan organization. There are small potatoes with one water, and three or two sprouts have grown on each potato.

The [-] carts of the supply battalion were loaded with the assistance of the villagers.

The faces of the villagers were full of joy. If such a small potato is used for processing or eating, it costs one penny and three catties.

Now as potato seeds, the purchase price of the commercial firm is one penny and two catties, and they are transported to Qingzhou and sold for one and a half pennies per catty. Except for the freight and damage, there is at most a profit of less than half a penny.

Chai Lin actually saw that the old fifth uncle who was over 60 was also helping to load the car here.

"Old Uncle Fifth, why are you loading cars here? Let young people do these heavy jobs."

The old fifth uncle said: "These potatoes are from my family. I planted an acre of autumn potatoes last year. Because I didn't use good fertilizers, they grew too small. I saved them in my room and just took them out to sell. 3000 A few pounds of small potatoes still sell for [-] Wen."

"That's good. Fifteen hundred Wen is enough for the fifth uncle to eat and drink. Remember to report to the village if you have any difficulties."

The old fifth uncle waved his hands again and again, and said: "If you want to eat, you can eat, you want to drink and drink. I return half an acre of cotton, and I can sell it for thousands of dollars. I have everything at home, and I don't lack anything. These are all introduced by the owner. Good food."

The heavy soldiers were busy there, and Chai Gang was there to command.

"Master, when did you come back?"

Chai Gang was very surprised. Few people knew about Chai Lin's return. After all, the army was still in the northwest, and Chai Lin ran back first.

"I came back yesterday. I was worried about something at home, so I came back first. How do you transport so many potato seeds?"

"The caravan transferred a lucky boat. A lucky boat can be loaded with five hundred horse-drawn carriages. Now it's the potato planting season, and Qingzhou is planting on a large scale."

"Oh, it's time to plant the seeds as soon as possible, otherwise we will miss the harvest time."

There are quite a lot of things to sow in Qingzhou. In spring, there are a large number of potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and corn and cotton after the wheat harvest.

The transfer of food relief from other places can only be a temporary matter, and self-reliance is the most important thing.

Therefore, what Qingzhou needs most is new varieties of crops. Planting new crops for one or two years will solve the food problem.

The situation in Qingzhou is still very good. After the war, there are not many wealthy families in Qingzhou, and there is little resistance. There are relatively more ordinary people and farmers.

The cart in front was full, and the mule pulled the cart vigorously, and rushed to Dinghai Port.

A batch of dozens of vehicles is issued, which can effectively ensure safety and improve efficiency.

Chai Lin lives in Chaijiazhuang for several days. First, he spends some time with his wife and children. Second, he comes to supervise the development of the military industry of the Cangzhou Army. It goes without saying that it is a pillar.

There is also a crossbow shop in Chaijiazhuang. Because of the steel arm crossbow, the traditional mulberry crossbow is not used much in the Cangzhou army, but it is not absent.

The bow and crossbow workshop is specialized in making mulberry crossbows, with 120 craftsmen and an annual output of more than [-] bows and crossbows.

The bow and crossbow workshop also needs to be changed, that is, the Zhuge Liannu used for defense has been finalized and made. The Liannu is equipped with a quiver and can shoot ten arrows in a row.

Chailin has done several experiments with the Liannu. This weapon, which originated in the Han Dynasty, is far from advanced. It has a fast rate of fire, but its range is very short, and its effective range is about 50 meters.It is still very effective to be used for city defense condescendingly, and the suppressive firepower prevents the enemy from entering the city.There is also the use of steel and mulberry wood to make small hand crossbows for street fighting and special operations.

　I have something to do tonight, so I'm late.
