Chapter 298 (1/2)

West of Nanyang city.

After more than two hundred thousand single men's painstaking construction for more than two months, the factories and farms of the logistics department have been completed.

On the original wilderness, there were hundreds of large and small brick houses, which were divided into more than a dozen pieces by walls.

Not counting the farm in the north, this building alone is bigger than a county. Such a huge building complex has stood up in just two months, which has attracted the attention of countless people.

Although there are great reasons for the monotony of architecture, it was definitely a miracle in the late Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the industrial zone in front of him, Qin Huan was also filled with emotion. As a descendant, he was not filled with emotion that the construction speed was too fast, but that the ordinary people in China were too hard-working and simple.

The requirements are too low.

The 200000 single men didn't pay a penny. They just ate and lived. They promised that if they performed well, they could marry their daughter-in-law and divide the land in two years.

But it is such a short cake that 200000 people sweat like rain every day. Instead of complaining and laziness, they are full of energy and don't need to supervise the work at all.

”Met the king!”

At the gate of the Ordnance Department, several ladies with more than a dozen old craftsmen were nervous at the sudden arrival of King Qin.

”Well, get up!”

Qin Huan Xu raised his hand and said kindly to the lady in front of him, ”madam, don't be nervous. I just walk around today and ask everyone to continue working. Please tell me the general situation of the Ordnance Department.”

”Yes, your majesty.”

The lady was obviously the director of the Ordnance Department, which relaxed a lot. As she walked, she introduced: ”king, the Ordnance Department has more than 10000 craftsmen and hundreds of other personnel. At present, she can make 500 knives and guns and 600 sets of armor every day, including 50 sets of mingguangkai and 200 sets of short swords.”

”Yes!”

Qin Huan nodded. He saw the sound of iron banging in front of his ears. But it was much hotter near the door than outside. He couldn't help saying, ”it's hard for you to stay here every day in such an environment.”

”It's my blessing to be able to work for the king and have the opportunity to repay the king's kindness.” The woman said hurriedly, with gratitude on her face.

The other women looked the same.

”Hey!”

Qin Huan had to sigh and continued to walk forward. There was no way. Most craftsmen didn't know one in big words. This large-scale factory is not like a small blacksmith shop, and it adopts division of labor and cooperation. There is no one who knows words and words and has arithmetic and management experience to be the factory director. It has to be a pot of porridge.

While talking, they came to a large brick house in the ordnance factory. It looked like a hundred square meters, which was similar to the workshop of the previous life, but there was a row of brick columns in the middle and wooden windows on both sides. The ventilation was very good.

More than 200 blacksmiths are busy inside, including those pulling bellows, forging, quenching and transporting with wooden wheelbarrows.

”Your Majesty, it's too hot inside. You'd better watch it outside!”

”Yes, your majesty, it's too dangerous inside.”

Seeing Qin Huan raising his feet to go in, the director of the Ordnance Department and the supervisor of the ordnance factory hurriedly advised him.

”Is this the workshop for making gun heads?”

Qin Huan saw the sparks splashing inside and the heat wave coming to his face. He was afraid that it would affect them, so he stopped and asked.

”Yes, your majesty, most of the A-shaped workshops responsible for making gun heads here are craftsmen with less skills. They will hammer the iron blocks repeatedly and then send them to the B-shaped workshop next door, which will be carefully built by the old craftsmen, and then sent to the next C-shaped workshop for polishing. Finally, they will be sent to the T-shaped workshop to install the handle of the gun before they can be put into storage.” The chief manager of the ordnance factory quickly explained.

”Yes, yes, it seems that madam has really worked hard. She even made four processes of a, B, C and D.”

Qin Huan smiled and nodded. At that time, he only said to divide work and cooperate, not to fight each other. Who thought they understood so thoroughly.
