The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 67 Hydraulic Forging Hammer
When I arrived at Lin Tiangui's study, I saw that the person who reported the report had just left.

Lin Ruoxue jumped in and walked in.

"Dad, have you heard about the exploration of iron ore?"

Lin Tiangui was obviously in a very good mood and said with a smile: "Yes, an iron mine has been found. And according to reports, there may be a second iron mine."

"Lin Hai is really quite capable. Now that the iron ore has been found, if it can be done as he said, a blast furnace can produce hundreds of thousands of kilograms of iron.

Not only is the entire Daxia Kingdom no longer short of iron.The entire court can get a lot of income. "

"So we can start mining and smelting iron soon. When will we go find Lin Hai?"

Lin Ruoxue asked quickly.

"It's still early. Although the iron ore has been explored, the salt and iron business must be controlled by the court.

I still need to report to the court and get permission for mining.

Only in this way can people mine ores. "

"Then write the memorial quickly!" Lin Ruoxue urged.

"Didn't I just get the news? If I write a memorial without confirmation, I won't be able to afford it if something goes wrong."

Lin Tiangui thought for a moment, picked up a pen and paper and started writing.

After writing it, I immediately traveled four hundred miles to tell the court the good news.

Now that the imperial court is very short of money, they will definitely agree to this news immediately.

Moreover, Lin Tiangui can also make great achievements through this matter.

Maybe he can be allowed to regain military power and deal with foreign enemies again.

"Dad, you said that he has made such a big contribution. Will Lin Hai really be knighted by Chaotian?" Lin Ruoxue asked.

"I guess it's about the same! If you just make a contribution, it's easy to reward him with some money as an official.

It's a bit difficult to get a knighthood.

But he made three great contributions at once, and each of them was a great contribution to the court and even the entire Great Xia.

It really doesn't make sense if you don't get a knighthood for such a big contribution. "

Lin Tiangui said.

Moreover, Lin Tiangui had already made up his mind that such talents must be recruited for the imperial court.

But Lin Hai didn't want anything, just a title.

Even if he is not knighted this time.

After he regains military power in the future, he will also report to the court to win a title for Lin Hai.

Lin Ruoxue was very happy after receiving the confirmation.

I don’t know why when I think of Lin Hai being so capable, his figure always lingers in my mind.

I always think about the day I can meet by chance and sit down and have a nice chat.

"The memorial has been handed in. Once we get the permission to start construction, we will go over and see for ourselves.

In addition, someone can be sent to notify Lin Hai so that he can build a blast furnace. "

Lin Tiangui found someone to give the order.

Li Ruoxue wanted to follow him over and take a look, but swallowed the words as they reached her lips.

Anyway, after a while, when the imperial edict arrives, my father will definitely go over to check it out in person.

Just follow along when the time comes.

……

Lin Hai was doing some work here and saw the people sent by Lin Tiangui.

The men who followed Lin Tiangui also knew that Lin Hai's future was boundless.

The key is that Lin Tiangui values ​​​​him very much.

Sooner or later, you can be knighted after you have made great achievements.

Their attitude was also very respectful.

"Mr. Lin, the prince asked me to bring you a message! The discount has already been written. Once the imperial edict comes, you can start smelting iron.

Now you can start building the furnace for making iron.

You can ask for any materials and money you need, and the money will be sent over later. "

"I understand. The cost of building a blast furnace is not that much. Sending 1000 taels of silver is enough." Lin Hai said.

"Young man, I know. I will report it to the prince as soon as I get back. I will send the money today!"

Lin Hai nodded.Hundreds of craftsmen and some young laborers have been summoned to the village.

The speed of building houses has accelerated a lot.

Many villagers have moved in directly after building their houses.

Lin Hai gathered people and asked them to come over to help build the blast furnace.

At the same time, I drew a blueprint. After building the blast furnace, I had to get a forging hammer for blacksmithing.

Can be driven by water flow.

Not only is it more efficient, it is also more powerful.

The refined iron is heated and struck with a forging hammer.

Remove all impurities.

This can save a lot of manpower, and what is forged is fine iron.

Coupled with some carburizing heat treatment, the hardness is extremely improved.

At that time, you can make armor-piercing arrows.

You can even create strong armor and armor.

With these things, you can easily build an iron-blooded army.

When facing the enemy's army, you will not be at a disadvantage.

Lin Hai specially placed the blast furnace by the river for the convenience of construction.

I found a place with a relatively large gap.

Someone was also specially asked to build a gate on it to make the water flow as fast as possible.

At that time, the water can be directed to the waterwheel, and then drive the transmission gear to transmit the power to the forging hammer.

Lin Hai designed every place after careful calculation.

The wood required is very demanding.

It must be hard enough and also requires a certain degree of toughness.

If the wood is of poor quality, it will become damaged in a short time.

The cost of replacing so many parts is also quite high.

Lin Hai planned to use it for a period of time until the iron production reached a certain level.

Cast some gears and drive shafts, and replace all equipment with iron.

This will take longer to use.

The wages for building the blast furnace were relatively high, and people from the village came to help.

Lin Hai specifically told them that even if the family has money, they cannot be idle and not work.

Once people are idle, they are prone to various diseases.

Either eating, drinking and having fun or gathering together to gamble.

So let them continue to work and earn money as before.

Being busy every day is very fulfilling, so no one will catch bad habits.

The construction speed of the blast furnace is very fast, and it can be completely constructed in only more than ten days.

After Lin Hai designed the drawings, he took Qiaoer to his father-in-law's home.

He has been buying fields in the past few days and has become a well-known big landowner.

Seeing Lin Hai, he quickly greeted him warmly.

"I have some things to trouble you when I come here!" Lin Hai said with a smile.

"We are all a family. No matter what the problem is, just ask us if you have anything." Zhou Tiezhu said quickly.

Lin Hai took out the drawings.

"I want to make a big waterwheel, and there are also some transmission parts. I have to use the best wood. Let's see how long it takes to make it!"

Lin Hai took out the drawings and unfolded them for them to watch.

"This waterwheel is not small. If you let us build it for you, it will probably take three to five months."

"No, three to five months is too long! It's best to make it within a month!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have enough manpower, just find more skilled craftsmen. As long as the work is done well, it's okay to pay double the wages." Lin Hai said.
