Han counter current

In addition, our army's archers must also pay close attention to training and select soldiers who meet the requirements as soon as possible. Now the production process of bows and crossbows is too complicated, which is not conducive to mass production, so we can only find another way. "

For Chen Feng, who lacks background and manpower, what he can do now is to squeeze his own treasure as much as possible. The knowledge about cold weapons recorded in it is being continuously put into practice by him.

Chapter 77 Making Money Plan 1

"It should be like this, why can't it always be successful..."

In the heavily guarded mining area, Chen Fengzheng and a group of experienced craftsmen formed a circle on the ground, and in the center of the circle was a pile of earth and rocks.

"It is said that the construction of the Great Wall and the Pyramids is made of glutinous rice mixed with mud, which is harder than the cement of later generations."

Chen Feng was still talking to himself.

"But I don't have so much glutinous rice to waste, and there are not many people who know this craft. It is estimated that they were either arrested by those princes or killed.

Cement, cement, I want cement now, lime mixed with clay seems to be able to make cement, I forgot it is Portland cement or something, anyway, the formula must be like this, why can't it be successful? "

After the matter of iron making had a clue, Chen Feng turned his attention to cement. In this era, cement is definitely a good thing.

It can be used in the military to build cities. With cement, there is no need to mine whole stones to reinforce the city walls, which will save a lot of manpower and financial resources.

For civilian use, cement can be used to build houses. This is much better than the current houses built with wood and thatch. For the training of the soldiers, temporarily follow the plan I made to keep Junyi and the others busy. "

"Hey, with a lord like you, I really only have to work hard..."

After learning that the Xianbei army had withdrawn, Chen Feng devoted himself more fully to the construction. With cement, the construction of blast furnaces and other kilns in the smelting area became more solid and smooth, and the quantity and quality of related products continued to increase. promote.

"Do you know what is the greatest invention of mankind?"

Chen Feng held a roulette in his hand, which was just made by a craftsman with sharp triangular thorns.

"I remember someone said that it is the wheels, all kinds of wheels that move history forward, such as the one in my hand."

"Father, my son doesn't understand very well." Yan Cheng shook his head, he couldn't understand the meaning of Chen Feng's words: "Aren't weapons, armor, city walls, etc. more important than this little wheel?"

"Hehe, let you witness a miracle next."

For the four adoptive sons who are studying with him, Chen Feng has no intention of keeping any secrets. These four children will become his right-hand assistants. What he has to do is to spare no effort in cultivating them.

"Okay, the assembly is complete." After assembling some parts, Chen Feng ordered: "Open the gate, release the water, and let our cheerful little wheel spin."

Under the influence of the water flow, the roulette was spinning at a high speed, and a thick log was pushed over. Under the gaze of everyone, the log that would have taken a few strong men to work for a long time, now only needed two For an adult, it was cut open in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Father, you know how to escape armor?" Yan Cheng was undoubtedly shocked by this scene, the efficiency was beyond his imagination, and in his mind, his foster father was definitely a god-man.

"Qimen Dunjia?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said with a sneer: "It's just a trick that those rotten scholars don't like, but I gave him a new name, it's called science.

You have to use your brains. Although the wisdom of the predecessors should not be underestimated, you should not underestimate your own creativity, understand? "

"Understood,,,,,,"

The four of Yan Cheng knew the painstaking efforts of their adoptive father. Not everyone had such an opportunity to study with their adoptive father. Moreover, due to their busy schedules, even the four of them might not have many such opportunities.

Under Chen Feng's guidance, the smelter sent out a group of people to set up a machinery factory. Thick logs were brought in and then processed into boards. Chen Feng's first large ship was also under construction.

"It's almost busy here, it's time to go to the beach."

Looking at the generals in the tent, Chen Feng repeatedly emphasized the need to pay attention to the safety and security measures here, then he pointed to the north and said: "The southeast is the sea, which is our rear, and our enemies can only attack from the north.

Therefore, what I want you to do is to build passes and cities, and take the time to train soldiers, don't care about money and food, don't care about rewards.

If we don’t have enough money, we can earn it; if we don’t have enough food, we can buy it; if we don’t have enough people, we can cheat, abduct, or rob.

As long as it doesn't hurt the world, I allow you to use certain means, um, for the time being, I will be away for [-] days, and when I come back, we will start business and make money. "

Zhang He, Zhang Liao and others looked at each other. They received the order to hold a meeting, and they never thought it would be this kind of mobilization meeting.

Although his protagonist's speech was very exaggerated, but what he said was too direct, even using words such as cheating and abducting, Zhang He and others felt that they had become thieves.

"I don't know what my lord is going to do at the beach?" Zhang Liao asked tentatively, "Most of our soldiers need training, and the camp is busy with affairs. If there is no lord in charge,,,,,,"

"Come on, if you want me to do everything, then what do you need to do?" Chen Feng waved his hand, and said very confidently: "I'm going to develop ways of making money, and when I come back, I will buy you new clothes to wear... "

All the generals have black lines, and Chen Feng treats them like children...

The smelting of iron and cement has achieved preliminary results. What Chen Feng has to do now is to build his own salt field. In this era, salt and iron are too valuable, so he has to hurry up and get busy.

Chapter 78 Making Money Plan 2

"Okay, here it is, it's more appropriate to choose here."

Looking at the turbulent sea, Chen Feng was very happy. The soldiers who had been dispatched before had already started to organize people to go fishing in the sea, which would provide a steady stream of meat for the large army.

But Chen Feng didn't come here to eat fish. In the cold weapon era, iron and salt were very valuable materials.

In a peaceful and prosperous age, these two things are monopolized by the government. Although there are unscrupulous merchants and salt dealers who produce and sell them themselves, they are all petty profits.

In this chaotic world, the whole world is in turmoil. No one can guarantee whether he can live until tomorrow. Anyone with a little strength wants to grow food.

Even other princes have allocated a large number of manpower to cultivated land, which has led to a shortage of manpower for producing salt.

Moreover, due to limited technology and other factors, salt has always been in short supply. Not only the princes of the Central Plains are scrambling to hoard it, but the common people are also eager to hide it.

As for the nomadic tribes on the grassland, they know how to herd, plunder and kill, but they don’t know how to produce. As long as you can bring out salt, they are willing to pull their cattle, sheep and horses to you for you to choose.

"Just build the salt pond here." After making the cement he wanted, Chen Feng decided to come to the beach to dry the salt, which is the most direct and effective way to obtain salt.

"It's only a stretch of Liaodong Bay from Dalian, so there probably aren't many people living there."

Looking at the busy crowd, Chen Feng stretched his eyes to the other side of the sea: "However, it belongs to Liaodong, so I'd better not mess around until my fleet is formed.

The seawater in the nearby sea area is also good, and the sodium chloride content should be relatively high, which is most suitable for drying salt.

With salt, hehe, I can choose the cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland. However, salt is also a strategic material, and it cannot be sold to anyone who comes. It seems that we have to think of other ways. "

Speaking of the construction of the salt pond, generally speaking, the technical difficulty is not too great. Chen Feng has already mastered the core technology. The key is to prepare the materials.

If he hadn't made cement, I'm afraid he wouldn't have implemented this step.

"Build a cement pool by the sea, yes, in a trapezoidal shape, so that the salt pool will be filled when the sea tide rises."

For the craftsmen who came to ask him how to build the salt pond, Chen Feng patiently explained to them, and if the explanation didn't make sense, he would do it himself.

"The cement pool is not very difficult. When those simple pumps are built, we can start here..."

The water pump, this is another magical water pump built by Chen Feng and a group of carpenters.At least that group of artisans called it a pumping artifact.
