Chapter 505: Craftsman Camp II
Seeing Qiu Tie coming up, Lin Ze almost smiled, because the official robe on Qiu Tie's body could no longer be seen in clear color, and even some black and gray were vaguely visible on his face, and the craftsmen behind him were almost the same as he was now.
It can be seen from this that although Qiu Tie and his friends became officials of the craftsman camp, their responsibilities as craftsmen were not given up.
Seeing this, Lin Ze felt relieved!
When Qiu Tie learned that Lin Ze was coming to the craftsman camp for inspection, he was really nervous because he had delivered equipment such as horseshoes to the barracks a few days ago. Lin Ze came today. Therefore, Qiu Tie couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the chariot and did not meet the requirements of the General?
If Qiu Tie had been a craftsman in the Qingzhou barracks before, he would not have been so worried. Anyway, Qiu Tie had a problem with food and clothing at that time, at most he had lost his job in the barracks. However, with Qiu Tie's ability, he could easily find a job.
However, it's different now.
Lin Ze gave Qiu Tie a very high treatment. Not only did he allocate nearly 200 acres of land to his family. (Qu Tie's craftsmanship level is very high. He alone, the allocated land was about 150 acres, and his family members, so he got a total of 215 acres of land.)
In addition, Qiu Tie also became the manager of the craftsman and an eighth-rank official position. His monthly salary was more than ten gold coins each month. Qiu Tie had never dreamed of such a high salary before.
Therefore, Qiu Tie was extremely satisfied with his current state and did not want to lose his current job because of this. Therefore, he felt so worried about gains and losses in his heart.
"I have met General General, dear sir!" Seeing Lin Ze and the others approaching the door, Qiu Tie rushed over like a flying dragon, and then he was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Lin Ze, who was riding on Bai Yue, quickly stretched out his right hand, and a gust of true energy directly under Qiu Tie's knees, pulled him up directly, and then smiled and said, "Qu Tie, don't be so polite. The craftsman you manage has pointed out extremely exquisite weapons to the army. I should thank you."
"Ah...!" Qiu Tiexin was shocked, and then a relaxed mentality appeared in his heart.
"Fortunately, sir, didn't come here to blame me, it's okay!" Qiu Tie's heart finally relaxed.
Qiu Tie, who was very calm in his heart, smiled and said, "Sir, you are my Shangguan, I deserve it!"
"Haha, Qiu Tie, don't say much, let's go in and take a look!" Lin Ze said with a smile.
He knew that it would not work to change the mentality of people like Qiu Tie now. In the hearts of people like Qiu Tie, it is natural to kneel down to his Shangguan. If you don’t let them kneel down to him, they will feel uncomfortable, and others will also wonder whether this person is too rude.
So, Lin Ze didn't say anything more.
The habit of kneeling down and worshiping is often considered to be in modern society. In order to get a job, people often kneel down and pray to others.
"Yes, sir, I'm leading the way!" Qiu Tie quickly got up, then led Lin Ze and his party into the marshal camp, and then introduced everything in the marshal camp.
Qiu Tie took Lin Ze and the others to inspect the craftsman camp. In the middle, he asked Lin Ze with some anxiety: "Sir, are you here to inspect the craftsman camp today because there is something wrong with the weapons sent by the previous draft?"
Lin Ze smiled and shook his head and said, "Qu Tie, don't worry, the last weapon was not a problem, and you made it very well. Of course, there is no room for improvement in this. However, you can slowly explore these things when refining weapons in the future. Don't worry now! For example, you can try to replace some wooden things with iron in some logistics vehicles and install bearings on the axles. In this way, it will not only make the logistics vehicle stronger, but also make the car more labor-saving, run faster, and the axles more wear-resistant. In addition, you can try to unify the manufacturing of some weapons and logistics vehicles into one specification. In this way, once these things are damaged, they can be repaired in the shortest time... wait and see!"
"Yes, sir, I understand. I will start the relevant research immediately!" Qiu Tie replied respectfully, and he admired Lin Ze even more.
When Qiu Tie heard these suggestions made by Lin Ze, he knew that they would be extremely beneficial to future military operations. Moreover, such a plan is not difficult to achieve, and can be made with snacks.
However, Qiu Tie could not have imagined such a simple plan before, so he really admired Lin Ze!
"Qu Tie, I hope you will take the lead in learning more knowledge in the future, so that you can improve your abilities more. Moreover, if you want to be promoted in the future, you must first recognize your words, otherwise you will only be able to reach this point in the future." Lin Ze made a suggestion.
Craftsmen like Qiu Tie are extremely capable, but there is one thing that is, among the craftsmen like Qiu Tie, nine out of ten are illiterate, which is considered to be literate, and there are not many.
Their ability to make weapons now relies on their continuous practice and ability to practice from childhood to adulthood.
Logically speaking, Qiu Tie and the others have already practiced it. It doesn’t matter whether they need to read words or not, but in fact it is not like this.
Lin Ze also wanted Qiu Tie and his friends to continue to bring out a group of very powerful craftsmen. This required Qiu Tie and his friends to recognize their words. Only by recognizing their words can Qiu Tie and his friends pass on their experience.
What's more, as craftsmen, it is necessary to see pictures, which requires craftsmen to recognize words. Therefore, many people like Qiu Tie and others are now in their thirties and forties, and Lin Ze still asks them to learn to recognize words.
"This...!" Qiu Tie hesitated a little. He was already forty-three years old, and it was really a bit difficult to recognize words now.
"Why, is it as difficult as your life in a refugee before?" Lin Ze said with a smile: "And, Qiu Tie, you don't want to set a good example for your future descendants. Once they don't study hard, you can directly say that even your grandfather is so old and still studying. Don't you feel ashamed if you don't study? Qiu Tie, don't you?"
Lin Ze was not prepared to force Qiu Tie and the others to recognize words. After all, the forced melon is not sweet, so he directly used their descendants to talk about the matter.
No one doesn’t want to be a good example for their descendants, so Lin Ze believes that using Qiu Tie and his descendants to inspire them will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
"Sir, I must read my words well and I will never embarrass you!" Qiu Tie said firmly, his eyes full of determination.
Seeing this, Lin Ze laughed in his heart.
"Sure enough, it is best to use descendants to motivate, haha..."
"Let's go and take us to see your craftsman camp!" Seeing that his motivation had already taken effect, Lin Ze said with a smile.
Now that I have aroused Qiu Tiexin's passion for recognizing words, I don't need to do anything more below.
"Yes, sir, I am leading the way!" Qiu Tie said immediately.
"You should call yourself a post!" Li Qing corrected.
Soon, Lin Ze and his group arrived in a craftsman's house.
Just when I arrived outside this craftsman's house, Lin Ze and the others felt a burst of heat.
At this time, Qiu Tie began to introduce it.
"It's a big hit. This is the iron smelting group of Jiangzuoying, which is specially used to improve the quality of pig iron. Sir, we didn't have iron ore before, so if we want to refine weapons, we can only buy some pig iron to refine them. However, the quality of these pig irons is uneven and we must be re-trained before we can use them to make weapons, otherwise the weapons will be easily damaged."
As Qiu Tie walked, he introduced to everyone that Tie Ying and Lin Hu were following Lin Ze and Lin Hu knew the importance of weapons to soldiers on the battlefield. It can be said that on the battlefield, the weapons in the hands of soldiers are simply the second life of soldiers, so it can be seen that the importance of weapons to soldiers.
No one wants to kill someone else when fighting, but he will hold him up. With a "clang...", his knife was easily broken. Isn't that waiting to be slaughtered?
Therefore, when Tieying and Lin Hu listened to Qiu Tie's introduction, they were all wide-eyed and refused to let go of any details here, because they needed to be responsible for their subordinates. Therefore, Tieying and Lin Hu were thinking about picking out a few questions in their minds to make these craftsmen more attentive when building weapons, and it would be best to create sharper and durable guys. In this way, the second life of their soldiers would be more guaranteed and they could also win more victories.
Unfortunately, Tie Ying and Lin Hu are all outsiders, so they are good at cutting people with knives, but they are asked to refine weapons, haha..., go dreaming!
"Oh, that's right, then how about the quality of the iron you refined?" Lin Ze asked carefully at the iron rolling in the furnace.
Compared to Tie Ying and Lin Hu, who have opened up the eight orifices of the seven orifices, and they don’t know anything about the remaining ones. Lin Ze still knows a little about iron smelting.
"Sir, it depends on the quality of the pig iron we purchased." Qiu Tie said carefully. He knew very well that Lin Ze knew how to smelify, so he dared not hide anything.
