It is obviously much easier to run a social activity with a box of money at any cost than a business that considers profit and loss.
Although it is in the deep mountains, it is not isolated from the world. Money can be exchanged with the outside world through many channels, and it is still of great use.
The large amount of money provided by Yao Ji is really the source of work for Zhang Ning.
While forming a temporary organization, he considered using contracting to find someone to plan and repair the house roads in the east of the village; while he began to design sketches of guns and cannons.
Among firearms and supporting equipment, it is obvious that artillery is the easiest to build.
The size of the gun consumes a lot of resources, but it also reduces the requirements for accuracy.
Zhang Ning quickly drew a rough structural diagram of the mother and child gun of the Fran machine. The main parts include the gun bore, the gun tail groove, the detachable ammunition chamber, the gun ear, etc., and the structure is not complicated.
Several problems have been encountered in the process of refining the size.
First of all, how to represent the dimensions on the drawings? People in the Ming Dynasty obviously couldn't understand the three views; can the idea of the drawings be realized from the casting process?
Obviously, Zhang Ning did not know enough about the casting process level of the Ming Dynasty; what is the ratio of the caliber of the gun and the length of the barrel to the best?
Zhang Ning had to temporarily put aside these problems and directly marked three different proportions of artillery structure diagrams using the method of dissecting the three-view.
This is not the order of making cannons and then making guns, because the workshop must be planned in advance before starting construction, otherwise it will be even more troublesome to renovate the workshop in the future.
Next is the structural design of the mesh gun.Zhang Ning is easy to tinker with the same problem, and he is confused when considering the process and details.
However, many problems can be solved by discussing and communicating with the craftsmen, and he believes there is always a way.
Half a month later, the complicated preparations were already clear.
Zhang Ning hired nearly a hundred people from nearby villages, including blacksmiths and carpenters, and the most were young men and apprentices.
Many young people are literate but not craftsmen. Although they cannot come in handy immediately, they can be gradually cultivated. This will be a talent reserve.
There were wooden signs hanging in several rooms on the side of the temple, and the Fengxia Mountain Weapon Manufacturing Bureau at the door, which was divided into roster department, cashier department, manufacturing department and other institutions. It can be considered that although the sparrow is small, it is all in the five.
The mine has also become a busy construction site, and newly planned workshops and roads have begun to be built.
As the highest power here, Monk Yao acquiesced to Zhang Ning's activities.Every time the Weapon Bureau withdraws money and goods from him, it also keeps the accounts.
At this time, Zhang Ning found that he not only acted as a manager, but also an engineer, and sometimes a missionary, although he was not very professional.
This is a feature of the Ming Dynasty officials. For example, an official from the Ministry of Revenue may go to the Ministry of Works to do technical work in a few years, and may be transferred to lead troops to fight!
The renovated houses are used as workshops for smelting and casting, warehouses, and some earthen kilns.
The coal dug from the coal mine will be transported from the newly built road to the mine, and coke is made as fuel by coking in soil...
Not only that, Zhang Ning also pre-designed a site for making primary cement using slag, limestone and clay as raw materials.
These villagers who migrated from the Central Plains are different from the local indigenous people. They have a high level of civilization and are very organized. Most of them are very law-abiding and hardworking. As long as the superiors pay their remuneration on time and distribute their interests reasonably, most of them will work hard.
When the construction site was shut down during rainy weather, Zhang Ning would summon craftsmen and apprentices to teach the three views in the main hall of the Weapon Bureau, or study the casting process with the blacksmiths.
He originally thought that the Ming Dynasty had never seen three views and it would be difficult to communicate. Unexpectedly, when drawing drawings with graphite, people accepted them very quickly. Young people with talent for space imagination could not long be able to see more complex assembly drawings.
Zhang Ning considers the familiarity between craftsmen and size, so he does not want to make additional innovations for the time being.
They can estimate how long an inch is about without metering. If they want to change it to a strange centimeter, it may have the opposite effect and affect work efficiency.
……
Waiting for the completion of the mine construction, Fan Laosi suggested that sacrifice to the gods first to make good fortune, and Zhang Ning agreed.
So Monk Yao presided over the leadership and led the craftsmen to place offerings such as cattle, sheep and pigs on the mine, burning incense and praying to the main god of the cult, the Emperor of Heaven.
There were many villagers watching back then, and the scene was very lively, so the incident was inexplicably covered with a trace of ghosts and gods.
But I don’t know if it’s because of not being pious enough or something else, the coal mine suddenly collapsed after just a few days of operation.
When Zhang Ning got the news, he hurried from the Weapon Bureau to the coal mine on the mountain with Yao Erlang and others.
When we arrived at the place, we saw that there were already many people around the mine cave, and several women next to us were shouting their own names anxiously.
In the scene that seemed a bit chaotic, Zhang Ning judged that the list of the dead and injured was not confirmed at this time.
The coal-digging hole facilities are very simple and there is nothing inside. It is of course possible to collapse by digging it manually like this.
According to his knowledge, this kind of mine must at least be supported by wooden beams, but he himself cannot figure out how to build it. Perhaps there are no talents in the local area who are proficient in mining, otherwise things would not have happened.
After a while, two fish-filled corpses were lifted out of the dark cave. The body was covered with black charcoal ash, and the bloody red wounds were particularly dazzling.
For a moment, someone started to cry.
A man with black hair and face shouted: The middle collapsed, two people were pressed down, and I don’t know how many inside. I can dig it out quickly and maybe I can survive!
The shouting man was holding a horse lantern. Zhang Ning looked at the shaking flames inside and thought to himself: Will there be a gas explosion?
At this time, a middle-aged man with rough skin came over. It was Tao Da, the elder in the village.
When Zhang Ning first arrived in Fengxia Mountain, Monk Yao said that Tao Da had the prestige and could help, but he didn't get rid of his body when something happened in Feng Village.
Today, Tao Dalai must have been to deal with the accident by the monk Yao.
Human life is at stake, and death is a big deal.
When Tao Da saw Zhang Ning, he bowed his fists and said, "I didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen."
Last year, Lord Yao ordered the forging of weapons, and people died during mining. Mr. Zhang, don’t worry, I can solve this problem properly.
Tao Da said solemnly, it was just... because mining was to make firearms and to provide relief to the money and food of the dead and injured...
Zhang Ning immediately said: Each of the deceased and disabled people will first receive a pension of 100 taels of silver, which will be paid by the Weapons Bureau account. If it cannot be calmed down, we will discuss it later.
Tao Da didn't say much, and nodded after hearing this.
Zhang Ning looked back and couldn't help but ask: Do you want to use a reason to appease everyone?The firearms were made to attack the bandits and avenge the villagers who died in Feng Village.
OK.Tao Avenue, I'll go to appease the villagers.
The reason for comfort that Zhang Ning came up with temporarily was not true. The leader of the cult ward off the cult could not have sent a large box of money to make firearms in order to solve the problem of a branch.
However, Zhang Ning said in front of Monk Yao that if the firearms they made could be used, they could first equip the soldiers of Fengxia Mountain to attack the bandit camp.
So comforting cannot be considered a lie.
At this time, he also became more aware of a problem: people are not willing to sacrifice their lives for careers that have nothing to do with them.
The weapon bureau can be established so quickly and without resistance because the recruited people can benefit from it, and once they realize that it will cost life and other high costs to participate in such a thing, it will sooner or later go wrong.
Although it is in the deep mountains, it is not isolated from the world. Money can be exchanged with the outside world through many channels, and it is still of great use.
