The Sacred Ding

After the refusing to marry, in order to prevent possible retaliation by Qin Muhou and Dong Shou, Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou Mansion has successively moved most of the craftsmen from Yao Shiyuanzhai to Juquanling, and will also be in Huanglong at the same time. In the dísciple camp of Yuan Dao Academy cultivation, about half of the young children are transferred to Dao Academy cultivation in Shichengling next to Juquanling.

In addition to Zhou Jun, Sun Gan, and Chen Zhang who continued to stay with Chen Lie, followed Hexi’s soldiers and horses into Heyang and Lichuan battles, Su Yuan, Zhao Shan, Qian Wenyi and the others, also All three hundred Suihu Ting Hou Mansion lived temporarily in Juquanling.

Even so, the people in Juquanling are still seriously insufficient.

Especially in the infield, where there are only more than 100 skilled craftsmen and craftsmen, they are responsible for the casting of war weapons such as organ crossbows, war chariots, and puppet arm armors. Smelting of gold and iron materials.

In fact, the casting infield at Juquanling Mountainside invested huge resources of unimaginable by others.

The two smelting furnaces for smelting gold and iron materials, in addition to using the highest flame-collecting talisman array, the two small furnace bodies are reinforced with six-seven thousand kilogram iron essence, otherwise The daily output of hardened iron materials can hardly reach 10,000 jin upwards.

And the cutting tools like many core components are cast with the highest mixing material, and refined into the mysterious Rune Dao seal. It can be said that it is a high grade in the yellow-rank that is not weak. Xuan Bing.

Now that so many resources have been invested, the production system of the infield is gradually being improved, but to truly realize the casting potential of the infield, it still depends on people.

Maybe the various sects are too urgent. Juquanling has to let go of the infield restrictions and select 300 craftsmen from the outfield to enter, but nearly twice as many people are rushing to sign up first. . Moreover, these five-six hundred people have a strong foundation of cultivation base, and they have certain accomplishments in Mechanical Puppet and armor casting. Blind people also know that most of them are eyeliners infiltrated by various families.

Thinking that the infield will soon be completely penetrated by the eyeliner of every family, Zhou Jingyuan is always awakened from dreams at night, but Chen Hai insists on this, and he can only accept it by brace oneself.

The only thing that can comfort Zhou Jingyuan a little is that the Juquanling foundry is still very different from the traditional foundry.

In the traditional foundry, a senior craftsman leads a group of craftsmen and craftsmen who are responsible for all the manufacturing processes of Mechanical Puppet.

Juquanling separates the manufacture of Mechanical Puppet into eighteen processes. Each group of craftsmen and craftsmen is only responsible for one of the processes. In Zhou Jingyuan’s view, this can control the leakage of secrets as much as possible. After all, the most core component casting can still be controlled by his own hands for the time being.

As for Chen Hai’s implementation of assembly line operations, one is to reduce the demand for the number of senior craftsmen, and more importantly, to greatly increase efficiency.

Assembly line operation is a production method that has long been deeply rooted in Earth, but it is an unimaginable innovation in Yanjing.

Ning Chan’er had been wounded for two days, and then left quietly without a greeting. There were twelve craftsmen who left with Ning Chan’er.

These craftsmen who retired without telling, everyone guessed it was the eyeliner of the Red Eyebrow Sect. This time they should return to Cloud Dream Lake with Ning Chan’er to help cast the organ Liannu.

Everyday all new craftsmen and craftsmen come to join in. It is normal for someone to leave. Chen Hai asks Zhou Jingyuan to open one eye and close one eye.

It seems that Juquanling will leak a lot of secrets because of this, but it can also get a lot of skilled craftsmen and craftsmen to use. Even if you don’t consider that Rakshasa will invade Yanzhou at any time, there are advantages and disadvantages. .

After the ink armor workshop is on the right track, there are two master craftsmen in the Aperture Realm. Chen Hai has more time to stay in Juquanling to ensure that all aspects of the infield work can be done quickly On the right track; and after more than 300 familiar with the selection and use of craftsmen in the infield, the trial production process of organ continuous crossbows and puppet-level puppet armors has been greatly accelerated.

Su Yuan successfully developed the Sea of ​​Consciousness, and Juquanling finally has Su Yuan and Wu Meng two Ming Aperture powerhouses to support the scene. Su Yuan himself was also a craftsman, and he had expertise in refining tools.

He presides over the affairs of the internal government in Zhaoyang Pavilion House, and he is in charge of the foundry of Yaoshiyuanzhai. Most of the Bingjia foundry in Yaoshiyuanzhai has moved to Juquanling. At this time, it was just right for Su Yuan to take charge of the affairs of the infield.

In the following months, the Great Yan Empire’s war with the Black Yan Army in Lichuan, Heyang and other places has also been in a state of stalemate, and there has been no progress.

Chen Hai believes that Crown Prince will win Dan and the others know very well that even if they defeat the Black Yan army as fast as possible, regain counties such as Heyang and Wild Goose Sect, they will benefit the Celestial Emperor and the King of England. As stated, they are both impossible to allow them to rate 200,000 tigers to enter Gyeonggi through Azure Dragon Valley.

Except for the Ning family who has suffered a big setback, there is no support from the other seven clans of Jingjun. The 200,000 elites of the tiger army cannot retreat into Jinggi. There is no place to stand outside, and they can’t be supported. how long.

Rather than heading north to Heyang and rushing to a decisive battle with the Black Yan army, it is better to occupy the river between Mengjindu and Wuliang Mountain to manage slowly.

And the Northeast is threatened by the Black Swallow Army. Crown Prince may return to Gyeonggi anytime after winning Dan’s command and being strong. Although the Yanran Palace and the Gyeongjun Eight Clans have not dealt with each other, the contradiction will not be for the time being. Show up.

After the rapid expansion of the Xiyuan Army and Suwei Army, their troops have stabilized at 200,000 and 60,000.

This is almost the limit for the counties to supply Gyeonggi at this time. After all, maintaining the combat readiness on the front line of Mengjindu and Wuyang Mountain will consume extremely huge resources.

The Black Yan Army still regularly sends people to Juquanling to buy armored weapons.

In addition to the quenched golden arrows and the quenched halberd spears, the Black Yan army buys and sells a large number of quenched golden armor pieces from Juquan, and even directly takes the quenched iron ingots and transports them to the black The Yan Jun forged the armor by himself in the foundry set up in Jiyang.

At this time, not only the Black Swallow Army, but also other forces, it is almost clear that apart from the military training record and the so-called inheritance behind the Mechanical Puppet Technique, the core advantage of Juquanling that is truly coveted by the heavens is still Sufficient supply of quenched iron material.

At this time, it is not difficult for all the powers to guess that Juquanling digs ore from the bottom of Juquan Lake and directly smelts gold and iron materials.

Yi Celestial Emperor 70 In the five years of winter, the daily output of Juquanling quenched gold and iron materials has exceeded 20,000 jin; and the Dong family controlled the three counties of Hexi, and the annual output of quenched gold and iron materials The total output is only 1,000,000 jin, which is only worth one and a half months of output in Juquanling.

At this time, the various powers understood that Juquan Lake contained amazing wealth, but it was already too late to make a move.

With the support of the old son Cai Chou, the Hexi Duhu Mansion transferred Zhao Ruhui, Xie Kun and the others who were close to Zhaoyang Pavilion Mansion to work at Dao Academy in Shichengling.

In addition to increasing the number of dísciple of Dao Academy in Shichengling and adding a foundry, an additional five hundred yamen were also deployed to strengthen defense in Shichengling, forming a horn with Juquanling.

Hexi and Qintong Mountain are separated by Tianshui County. Juquanling is nominally attached to Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion and attached to Hexi, but separated from Tianshui County and the uninterrupted ridge at the western foot of Qintong Mountain. , Dong clan was beyond reach, unable to directly control Juquanling.

Dong’s deployment in this way is also to guard against those unruly forces, swallowing the treasures at the bottom of the Juquan Lake, and kicking Hexi aside.

In exchange, Juquanling should supply a certain amount of quenching material to the foundry under Dao Academy of Shichengling at a low price; at the same time, the foundry of Juquanling has officially taken Wei Zong recruited dozens of craftsmen headed by Sun Buhui.

Regardless of whether he continues to be loyal to the Dong family and Tai Wei Zong, this is Chen Hai’s bargaining chip.

Qin Tongshan is under the jurisdiction of the Xiyuan Army. At this time, there are 40,000 elite Xiyuan Army stationed at Qintongguan, Nanzhangfu and Tongbeifu.

If Tai Weizong disagrees with directly extending the tentacles into the core of Juquanling, without the restraint of the Dong clan in Hexi, Chen Hai will really have no excuse to stop the King Yingshu from sending troops to control Juquan Lake.

In any case, Juquan Lake is controlled by Juquan Ridge at this time, but it does not belong to Juquan Ridge.

Even if the King Yingshu will not tear his face with Hexi and other forces, he will obviously not allow Hexi to completely control Juquan Ridge. After all, no one knows how much the mineral sand at the bottom of Juquan Lake can produce. Gold and iron are coming.

As the most important casting material for top ordinary armor and yellow-rank mysterious soldiers, Juquanling’s annual output of 6-7,000,000 catties of quenched gold iron is enough to change the pattern of the world; not to mention everyone knows it. , Juquanling’s gold-quenched iron output still has room for substantial increase.

Chen Xuanzhen wrote a letter suggesting that Ji Yuanren and Xue Cun rate the Mojia Workshop to move westward to Tongbeifu, and also to choose a location on the east side of Juquanling before the winter.

Although the Mojia Workshop is still under the direct command of Chen Hai, it actually represents the presence of the Yanjing and Jingjun eight clans in Juquanling–the Xiyuan Army’s garrison in Tongbei Prefecture has already Withdrawing, at this time, the name of Tongbei Okura was added, and five thousand elites were transferred to station in.

In addition to the Shichengling Dao Academy and Mojia Workshop representing the forces of the Hexi and Jingjun eight clans, Juquanling was recruited from outside Tongbei Prefecture when the Celestial Emperor 70 entered the winter five years There are already more than two thousand craftsmen and craftsmen.

Some forces did not even hide, they directly sent the Refiner Master of the Ming Aperture Realm to Juquanling and opened a foundry near Juquanling to dispatch more craftsmen and craftsmen.

Juquanling does not have the qualifications to recruit discipline, and cannot directly impose personal restrictions on the recruited craftsmen and craftsmen, and it cannot prevent the movement of craftsmen and craftsmen between different foundries.

And to Yi Celestial Emperor 70 five years into winter, the Northern Domain Miao family, Nanyu Zhao family, Gu Clan, Southwest Territory Chu family and other seven frontier county powerful vassal have obtained the franchise of Tianshu Yuan. Dao Academy opened near Juquanling.

The purpose of many forces working so hard is to covet the supply of huge and cheap enough quenched iron materials in Juquanling.

If only three or five Ming Aperture Powerhouses are assigned to rate three to five hundred elite battle strengths, they will be able to ensure that their supply of gold quenched iron will be more than doubled, and they will be able to obtain sufficient quality from Juquanling. For those powerful overlords who rule thousands of miles and even several thousands li regions, how could this deal of arms and weapons of war come in without participating?
