Chapter 113 Drawings
Chen Mu felt like paying tribute.

Zhang Han didn't feel tired for a long time, so he waved him down, but it was getting late, so he was allowed to stay overnight in the governor's office.

Before dawn on the second day, the officials in the yamen called to open the city gate with their waist cards, and then they returned to the Qianhu Office in Xiangshan.

For a period of time, Chen Mu didn't have to expect to see Governor Zhang Han again.There is no governor in Guangdong, whether it is Zhang Han or Wu Guifang, or Tan Lun in the past, their official positions are the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, supervising the military and political affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi. Supervise Guangdong and Guangxi.

It's just that Li Yayuan was first challenged last year, and this year there was another crime. Wu Guifang and Zhang Han are now directors of the Guangzhou Mansion.

Now that the military affairs in Guangxi are waiting to be completed, Zhang Han is going to Zhaoqing to deal with the first and last.

The governor left, but Chen Mu saw that there were fewer and fewer items in the warehouse of the guards piled up into a hill, and the flag army was pushing one by one to Guangcheng in a small cart, not to mention the uncomfortable feeling in his heart!
Duck cooked to the mouth, the fuck flew away!

Tens of thousands of catties of nitrate, thousands of catties of copper and iron, and mountains of silk, satin and utensils went to the governor's office, and they all went to waste.

In exchange for a piece of paper from the governor's yamen, and the shipyard set up by Qianhu in Xiangshan to repair the warships, Chen Mu didn't know whether he had earned or lost.

After the shipyard repaired it, Chen Qianhu didn't plan to only repair the ship, but also build the ship!

A few days later, more than a dozen old men who were mourning for their concubine came with their families, and only then did they comfort Chen Qianhu's heart a little.

Carpenters who are proficient in casting, sailmakers who know how to make hard sails, shipwrights who repair and build ships, boatmen, and of course blacksmiths who are proficient in casting.

"Qianhu, I have registered them in the register. There are 33 craftsmen, 46 apprentices, and 86 of their family members. A total of [-] people's military registries have been recorded. From now on, they will be the military craftsmen of the Qianhu Institute."

"Where does Qianhu plan to let them live?"

Guan Yuangu saluted and said, while the boss of the Guan family was holding a craftsman's notebook at the side. This section of Xie Ming's school was enlightened, and the boss and the second child of the Guan family also followed suit.They worked for a long time, and they mainly followed Xie Ming to teach mathematics. The craftsmen had a little foundation in arithmetic, and it was easy to learn.

The eldest Zuner followed Old Man Guan, and the second Zunban was now in charge of leading the craftsmen in the iron workshop.

"Let's live in a thousand-household house first, and then choose a place after a while. To manage the craftsman's affairs, I have to care about the craftsman. There is another thing that needs to be concerned with the craftsman's heart."

As Chen Mu said, he led Guan Yuangu and Guan Zun's class into the house of Qianhu, and asked his followers to go inside to take out the blueprints on the desk, and then sat in the backyard and explained: "The local thieves in Huangliangdu have not yet been determined, so let's not build it for the craftsmen. The house, wait until the thieves are put down, and then find a suitable location for the shipyard, and then the craftsman will live next to it."

Guan Yuangu nodded in response, then cupped his hands and said to Chen Mu: "Qianhu, there are now 76 new bird guns in the library, 33 flintlock guns, three hand guns that you specially ordered, and a hundred small flag arrows. rich."

"The old lead pellets have been re-melted, and there are still more lead pellets newly produced, but the gunpowder is not enough."

A large amount of gunpowder was used for hundreds of small flag arrows, which almost used up the nitrate soil that Chen Mu brought from Qingyuan.Originally, the guards purchased willow charcoal to supplement military use with a large amount of gunpowder made from nitrate, but this time and then that time.

Guan Yuangu said: "The remaining gunpowder is at most enough for the banner army's musketeers to practice for more than a month."

Chen Mu nodded in agreement, but he had no choice. Shao Tingda hadn’t returned from Yuegang yet, and the guard had just sent a letter asking him to sell all the houses in Yuegang City. He wouldn’t be able to come back for a while. Since the money could not be returned to his hand, he could only say: "Let's see how much the state government can allocate this time."

Fortunately, a large number of pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks were purchased in advance, and the state government did not take away the food under the card. As long as you don't worry about eating, the guards will not be too nervous.

He didn't have much silver left in his hands.

"These things, Guan Jiang and Zunban have a look together."

Not long after, the entourage brought the wooden box, and Chen Mu took out a few charcoal drawings and explained to the craftsmen and his son: "Look at this first, this is a forging hammer. Someone wants to make something with water power, which can be used by craftsmen to make weapons."

"Where the water flow is huge and steady, make a disc surrounded by three or four people as a cover, inside is a large wooden leaf, and connected to the upper long pole turntable, there are gears on it, one horizontal and one vertical, this is a tooth..."

Guan Yuangu listened patiently, while Guan Zunban looked at the blueprint with bright eyes, nodded with some urging but dared not dare to say: "Qianhu, the villain knows the gears, the gap is slightly bigger, and even the gears of the turntable move. , let the gears placed vertically on the top move accordingly, and the water power can be transmitted to the side, which is very delicate!"

"You know? You know it's just right. Just look at it, and ask me if you don't understand." Chen Mu was not ashamed when he was interrupted. He smiled and clapped his hands to let them sit down and watch. Generally speaking, there are some tricks in it that I can't figure out, so you can think about it."

Having been in this era for nearly two years, Chen Mu's biggest feeling is that it is not good for laymen to guide experts.

In terms of military affairs, he can use the more simplified training methods of modern low-level stragglers to train the banner army, and subtly increase the advantages of ideological construction and organizational improvement. This does give him some advantages in small-scale conflicts.

However, it has also been proved in the big battles that his method is not a panacea. For the close combat between the enemy and our troops all over the mountains and plains in this era, what is more important is the command of the large army, the dense formation, the rewards and punishments that pay equal attention to grace and power, and sufficient logistics. Security can make the army effective.

At least in this era, the excellent old military law has already taken the first step towards the modernization of the army, and Qi Jiguang's military law, which can only take one step forward due to his limited status, is the right direction.

It is not that Chen Mu's experience in the new era is based on Qi Jiguang's experience, but that he uses Qi Jiguang's art of war to learn from his knowledge and experience. On the basis of Qi Jiguang's half-step ahead of the times, he will take another half-step.

This is true for the military, and it is even more so for the technology of complete laymen. Chen Mu believes that the role he can play is to open the locked door in front of the craftsmen, but to push it open-it depends on their complete basic knowledge in their jobs.

Chen Mu is like a baby without strength, not enough to push the wheel of the times forward.

But he holds the key to open the door of the era, and with just a slight twist, the cracks in the door will shine brightly in the world!

Several drawings placed in front of the two of them were rows of Seiko small hammer machines driven by hydraulic power, a single hydraulic driven sledgehammer machine for giant rough machining, large-scale sawing machines for hydraulic power and small fine rough machining machines. The giant wooden machine, and the steam engine that Chen Mu is most looking forward to.

The first few of them can be used as soon as possible, but the steam engine, even if the blueprints are made, is just a small boiler with no practical effect, not to mention the materials in it. He doesn't know what can be replaced in this era.

After answering a few questions from the Guan family and his son, seeing that the two had roughly understood it, they happily discussed it, and even asked him if he could revise the drawings. Chen Mu knew that the two had already prepared drafts for the first few types of hydraulic machinery, so he walked out satisfied. Thousand Households.

Things are entrusted to others, and he also has his own things to do.

Horseback archery and military books, in addition to military books, at night, you also have to read classics and history, and do stereotyped writing.

He was born to be a military household, but what he wanted to do was not a mere commander of the district or the commander of the capital, and this was not enough.

Far from it!
　Good morning!
