Chapter 504: Craftsman Camp One
Modern people understand the importance of craftsmen, so as a department that Lin Ze attaches great importance to, the conditions in the craftsman camp are very good.
First of all, the place where they worked and rested had already built beautiful and solid houses. The materials for building the house were all newly refined red bricks transported directly from the brick kiln.
In Chu State, most rooms are made of yellow mud. Building houses with materials such as red bricks is generally only possible for some wealthy families. Now Lin Ze directly practices the houses of these craftsmen with red bricks, which makes these craftsmen feel very grateful to Lin Ze. Naturally, the loyalty of these craftsmen to Lin Ze is increasing day by day.
In addition, Lin Ze gave them a salary, so these craftsmen have become Lin Ze's loyalty now.
In order to ensure the safety of the craftsman camp, Lin Ze also built some defense facilities here. The materials used this time were not red bricks, but rocks mined from the stone mine.
After Lin Ze was preparing to build a huge reservoir in Banyue Valley, he was preparing to mine several miners in his heart.
Of course, the best materials for building reservoirs are actually cement and steel bars. However, in the State of Chu, there are no cement and steel bars.
Lin Ze can make cement, but with the degree of iron smelting here in Chu, it is really difficult to make steel.
Moreover, if you want to refine cement, Lin Ze first has to find the materials for refining cement. Although these materials are everywhere, it is not easy to find them for a while.
What's more, if Lin Ze starts to refine cement, it will require a lot of fuel. Lin Ze has not found any coal mines around Huangsha Town. Therefore, if you want to refine cement, you can only burn wood. However, Huangsha Town is already a semi-desert area, and Lin Ze has not had time to protect the trees, so how could he cut down trees and refine cement randomly?
Therefore, although Lin Ze knows that cement is of great use, Lin Ze will not refine things like cement that consumes a lot of wood as long as there is no coal found.
Besides, the viscosity of the adhesive materials on the mainland of China is not weaker than that of cement on the earth, and is even stronger.
The bonding materials in Shenzhou Continent are usually added with some blood from wild beasts. The bonding materials made in this way are extremely sticky, which is even stronger than the strength and viscosity of military cement on the earth. Therefore, Lin Ze does not use cement. The reservoir he built is also extremely strong.
There are many mountains around Huangsha Town, so Lin Ze directly mined several stone ores on it. The blue brick stones produced in these stone ores can not only be used to build reservoirs, but also to build city walls or some defense facilities.
The safety of the craftsman camp is extremely important, so Lin Ze directly built some defensive facilities around the craftsman camp to protect the safety of the craftsman camp and the craftsmen inside.
The Jiangzuo Camp has basically become an arsenal. During this period, Lin Ze specially posted a recruitment list in the refugee camp and recruited a large number of craftsmen for him. So far, nearly 300 craftsmen have entered the Jiangzuo Camp to build weapons for Lin Ze and some other iron tools.
Of course, in order to allow these craftsmen to work for themselves with peace of mind, Lin Ze allowed them to place their families in houses specially built for these craftsmen. Each craftsman was granted land, with a base of thirty acres of each person. Then, different fields were allocated according to their strengths and weaknesses.
At the same time, the family members of each craftsman can also be allocated to land, each person with five acres of land, which is considered a newly born person and has a share of five acres of land.
As soon as Lin Ze's policy was implemented, all the craftsmen settled down and worked wholeheartedly for Lin Ze.
No wonder these craftsmen are extremely grateful to Lin Ze Center. You know, the moment before, these craftsmen were still in danger. Their family lived near the death line and could die at any time. Now Lin Ze directly solved them from the situation of death and gave them a bright future. As long as the person who is not a shady heart, they will be grateful to Lin Ze and become Lin Ze's loyalty.
What's more, it's good to have three or four acres of land in ordinary families. Now Lin Ze directly gave them at least thirty acres of land. However, when they arrived in Huangsha Town, each family received at least dozens of acres of land, which was very unimaginable in the State of Chu.
Although these craftsmen have a skill, many of them can live well without land, but these craftsmen still have little peasant atmosphere in their bones. Having their own land is the general dream of people in this era or feudal society.
In feudal society, whether it is an official, a businessman, or an ordinary person, the first thing they did after they developed was to buy land and buy a lot of land, because in their hearts, land is everything.
As long as these people who have lost their homes are satisfied, they never thought that they would have a day to own land. Therefore, when they got the land deed from Lin Ze's hand, most of the people felt as if they were in a dream. They were originally disbelief and turned into joy, and all the craftsmen cheered.
For Lin Ze, the efforts of nearly 10,000 acres of land are really a piece of cake for today's Huangsha Town.
Although there are not many lands in Huangsha Town, the land mentioned here only refers to the land suitable for reclaiming in Huangsha Town before, such as the semi-desert area, which is not included in it at all.
If there were no curved plows or fire armored oxen as plowing oxen, it would be difficult to reclaim these semi-desert areas, but now it is an easy thing.
Fire armored cattle are extremely powerful, and they are more than ten times larger than the strongest cattle on earth. Therefore, using them to plow the fields can directly plow more than half a meter deep. In this way, it is easy to turn the semi-desert area into fertile land.
In addition, Lin Ze was very prepared to locate the groundwater location, which completely solved the biggest problem of water shortage. Therefore, it is no longer difficult to turn the semi-desert area around Huangsha Town into treasures and reclaim them into real fertile land.
Therefore, Lin Ze’s hands now have more land.
A mere 10,000 acres of land is nothing to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze thought it was worth it to win over some of the original semi-desert and extremely barren lands.
Lin Ze was very clear about the importance of these blacksmiths. If he wanted to build a powerful army of his own, he needed countless weapons, which required a large number of craftsmen. The craftsmen were best at making various weapons. Many blacksmiths even knew about the manufacturing of large-scale equipment that Lin Ze did not know much about. Therefore, Lin Ze treated these craftsmen very highly.
For example, some masters led by the craftsman camp have been appointed by Lin Zezhira as master craftsman in the craftsman camp, and they have paid the same salary as eighth-rank officials. At the same time, children in the family can enter school for free to study literature or practice martial arts based on their respective rise, and solve the worries of these craftsmen from the root.
Lin Ze's treatment directly made these great craftsmen in the craftsman camp grateful for their hearts. Such treatment was something they had never received in their hometown in their lifetime, not to mention the land and the bright future of their children?
As long as they have land and as long as their children can study and practice martial arts, these great craftsmen will not get paid, and they are actually willing to do it.
....................................................................................................
The news that Lin Ze was about to come to Jiangzuo Camp to inspect had long been spread to Jiangzuo Camp, so Lin Ze had just stepped into Jiangzuo Camp's camp. Qiu Tie, the person in charge of Jiangzuo Camp, and the most skilled, had already brought a group of craftsmen outside the Jiangzuo Camp's gate.
The State of Chu did not have the official position of the craftsman camp, but Lin Ze decided to distinguish experienced masters from ordinary craftsmen, so that these people would have a greater sense of responsibility and honor. Therefore, Lin Ze simply set up some official positions himself.
Depending on the position, the body looks different.
In order to clearly indicate that this is an official position in the craftsman camp, Lin Ze directly asked two crossed hammers to embroider the official uniform, and under the hammer, different weapons were embroidered.
If you are proficient in creating swords, embroidering swords, embroidering swords... and so on, this way of expression is definitely concise and clear.
In addition, Lin Ze also implemented a corresponding military rank system in the craftsman camp based on the idea of military ranks on earth.
Ordinary craftsmen directly use weapons that they are proficient in refining. Then they go to the next level, they are a hammer, a weapon... and so on until three hammers and three weapons.
Like Qiu Tie, as the leader of the craftsman's camp, there are three iron hammers and three big swords.
The three iron hammers mean that he is the leader of the craftsman camp, and the other three big swords mean that he is the most skilled master in the craftsman camp.
Under him, he was divided into several groups, with the team leader having two iron hammers, and different numbers of weapons were embroidered according to their level. For example, these team leader generally had two weapons embroidered texts, while ordinary craftsmen had one weapon embroidered texts. There was no iron hammer, and craftsman apprentices did not have one weapon embroidered texts. They could only embroidered weapons embroidered texts after being promoted to a formal craftsman.
The salary you get is different if the number of embroidery articles is different.
