Chapter 35 Force
Everyone present is our own people.
The only exception is my cousin Shen Zhonggui.
But this person is kind, honest and honest, and Shen Lin has already planned to pull him into his chariot.
"Uncle..."
"Ah?...Ah! Brother Lin, you called me?"
Shen Zhonggui's open mouth finally closed.
He slowly woke up from the shock and gave two thumbs up.
"Amazing, Brother Lin. If we want to rate you, you can be called a master craftsman!"
Shen Lin said modestly.
"Uncle, don't praise me, I just like to use my brain."
"You should know that things like steel-making need to be... um... kept secret!"
Shen Zhonggui is a craftsman. How can he not understand the importance of technology?
He was stunned immediately.
"Ah? But...but I've already seen it, what should I do?"
"How about? I...I swear a poisonous oath?"
Shen Lin laughed.
"Look at what you said. Do you really believe that I will let you stay? Are you going to watch it from beginning to end?"
"Uncle, my nephew has been sure for a long time. You are absolutely reliable!"
"When you go out, don't tell anyone. How about I give you a set of woodworking tools that can be used to make steel?"
Shen Zhonggui, who was originally anxious, was immediately overjoyed.
He is really afraid of the famous fat catcher.
If they don't agree with each other, they will kill people and silence them.
I have never walked out of the old man's house in Lushuihe Village a few times in my life.
In fact, I am quite timid.
"Don't want it? Brother Lin, how much will it cost?"
"Do you need three sizes of chisels?"
"There are two or three types of planers, and saws are also divided into different sizes..."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone found it interesting and laughed.
Are you really giving in?
The varieties and specifications were all mentioned, as if something were missing.
Shen Lin had no intention of selling Bailian refined steel in large quantities.
In addition to making some weapons for personal use.
The refined treasure can only be used as tool steel.
"No problem, uncle, I promise to give you a complete set, it won't take much materials!!"
"However, you have to think about your explanation. How can you deceive your disciples when you take it back?"
The old man patted his chest and smiled.
"I'll bring black paint over and paint it over your house first."
"I'll tell you later...it's a custom-made fine iron tool."
"This kind of treasure is just like the Hundred Refined Sword. It is my family heirloom, old man."
"Disciples don't even bring anything to borrow, haha!"
Well, your only child, brother Shen Chen, has a temperament similar to yours.
The son has inherited his father's business for several years.
It is indeed worth passing on this set of treasures.
If it were Shen Zhonggui, Shen Lin would not even give it up if he was beaten to death.
Uncle Zhonggui is a decent person.
But the Shen Tiezhu in his house is too ordinary.
I hope that guy will go to Xiongzhou to do hard labor this time and not come back after three years!
After a few days of observation, I got the recommendation from my second uncle and my third uncle.
Shen Lin also selected ten honest and responsible Shen family members from among the charcoal burners to be responsible for building the cement kiln.
At the same time, the dirty work of firing cement is also left to them.
The monthly salary is one to two and five, and working meals are included.
Where can I find such a good job?
Hot will return to hot, so what if it’s a little dirty?
What else can compare to the dirty and tiring work of farming?
When farming, we have to rely on God to provide us with food.
Here in Brother Lin, the harvest is guaranteed despite droughts and floods.
These ten uncles and brothers from the same family signed the first confidentiality agreement of this era with Shen Lin.
Each and every one of them was as happy as if they had won the lottery, almost shouting long live.
He also works hard with all his heart.
When it's time to eat, I have to shout for a long time before I can bear to leave work.
Second uncle and Shuanzi, Shen Lin intends to train them to become ironmaking room supervisors.
Of course, they just care about themselves now.
An iron-making furnace with a capacity of several kilograms is not fired every day.
The third uncle, Shen Zhonghe, is the future purchasing supervisor.
He now drives an ox cart and is responsible for transporting materials.
Liang Zizhong went down the mountain overnight.
He carried hundreds of kilograms of reddish-brown iron ore.
When knocked, it makes a tinkling sound, crisp and sweet.
Shen Lin sorted it out.
There is no doubt that this is hematite.
It is also a top grade product with an iron content of over 60%.
"Lao Liang, the quality of iron ore bought from outside is average and far inferior to yours."
"I'll pay fifteen coppers per catty. I'll take whatever you have!"
What?
When did the price of iron ore exceed that of grain?
Is it even close to catching up with the price of meat?
Several people in the room were shocked.
Liang Zizhong was a real man and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Chief, Brother Lin, that hill is full of these things."
"We drilled holes all night, but there were sparks coming out just one foot below, making it impossible to go down."
"The main reason is that our tools are not good enough."
"At least, we are sure that it is an iron mountain!"
"It's also the treasure mountain that our Mangshan Village can't dig out in a few lifetimes!"
"It's long, it's not worth such a high price, really!"
You have all lived in poverty for several lifetimes in that broken mountain.
God is fair.
No matter how much hardship you endure, how much happiness will be prepared for you.
Now that you have found it, cherish it!
Shen Lin reminded: "Old Liang, this kind of iron ore is very rare."
"Don't talk about the price. If you live up to me, I will live up to you!"
"But please keep it confidential."
"Don't let anyone know about it."
"This kind of good mine is hard to find even with a lantern."
"Even if it's deep in the mountains, it's hard to stop others from coveting it!"
This is a big problem.
Baoshan is too tempting for greed.
Not to mention anything else, even the head of the Shen family would be moved if he knew about it.
Shen Zhonghe suggested.
"For a long time, we won't ask for too much."
"Let's just do this. Lao Liang sends down the mountain every day ore, preferably no more than two thousand kilograms."
"Let's make an appointment. I'll set up a bullock cart and secretly bring it back at night."
"It was so invisible that it was enough to hide it for several years."
Two thousand kilograms is not a lot.
It's worth thirty taels of silver.
Such a large amount of output every day is enough to provide food and clothing for more than 500 people in Mangshan Village.
Wu Qi thought more deeply, and smiled lowly.
"How can we protect our own property without force?"
"Lao Liang and the others have been hunting for a long time. The mountain people are united and strong. They are all born good soldiers!"
"Brother Lin, make them a batch of fine iron weapons."
"Master Qi went up to the mountain and trained them for seven or eight days."
"Five hundred mountain people, men, women, old and young, all participated."
"Haha, with such an armed force, even if three thousand regular troops come to fight in the mountains, they will only be defeated."
Shen Lin's heart moved.
With the hundred-refined steel, I can make a sophisticated composite crossbow that is far ahead of this era.
The shooting range is even better than that of ordinary crossbows.
A hundred steps is nothing?
Two hundred steps is the standard, okay?
A fine iron long knife weighs only three to five kilograms of fine iron.
If you make a spear or a red tassel gun, you will save a lot.
Shen Lin raised his head and stared at Liang Zizhong with burning eyes.
"Old Liang, what do you think?"
Liang Zizhong solemnly clasped his fists.
"Everyone in Mangshan Village can live today."
"It all depends on the leader, no, it all depends on the gift from the benefactor."
"But if you have a destiny, you won't die!"
"Brother Lin, it's your decision."
