Chapter 801 (1/2)

”Laozu Zong, please have a seat.”

Gu Jiu got up to meet the order of the young master.

The young master was very happy. He looked at the Wenqing Bookstore across the street and said, ”it's very lively here. The view is very good.”

Gu Jiu chuckled and pointed to the Wenqing Bookstore across the street and said, ”there are debates in it today. It is said that they are the best students in the north and the south. One by one, one can speak well.”

”No matter how good they are, they are not as good as you.”

With that, the young master laughed.

”My ancestors praised me wrongly. I dare not compete with the students who have read poetry. My ancestors drink tea

”Tea can be drunk at any time. Your majesty is already pressing for the road to be built. We should have decided earlier

Gu Jiu said with a smile, ”I listen to my ancestors. I'll do what my ancestors say, as long as I don't let me suffer. ”

The young master's family is happy. ”It's always you who make money, but you don't have to suffer. If I promise you, I will do it according to your conditions. As soon as you start work, the Ministry will deliver 2000 tons of grain and grass to the construction site. ”

Two thousand taels?

Not too much, not less.

I can only say a little sincerity.

Gu Jiu smiles but does not speak.

”The imperial court only occupied 20% of its shares in toll stations, and did not interfere in the construction and operation of toll stations and rest stations. Everything has the final say. ”

”The blacksmith I want?” Gu Jiu asked with a smile.

The young master's family order is very simple, ”blacksmith will give it to you. You may choose ten blacksmiths who are going to be jailers, and you will be given slave contracts. Give people to you, they are your people, you can do whatever you want. ”

Gu Jiu smiles.

What 20% of the shares and the supply of grain and grass are all illusory.

All the bargaining is for the blacksmith who will be the prison.

The supervisor is not strict with the builders who repair houses and roads. Gu Jiu wants to say it.

But for blacksmiths, there are strict restrictions on the governor.

These blacksmiths have been slaves for generations. Their children and grandchildren are slaves of the Shaofu.

Their technology has been handed down from generation to generation.

Their words and deeds, every move, are under the control of the Shao Fu.

It's hard for people outside to reach them.

Even if Liu Zhao, who was the eldest prince, did not allow him to take away a blacksmith from the prison.

Why?

Because these blacksmiths have the most advanced iron smelting technology, forging technology of this era.

All the iron products with technical content are made by the general blacksmith.

All the equipment in the army, including but not limited to swords, spears, halberds, shields, lock armour, large siege equipment, and catapults with astonishing lethality, will be forged by blacksmiths.

These blacksmiths are slaves.

But their technology is absolutely the top craftsman.

There are also many folk iron shops.

Most of them can only make kitchen knives, hoes and simple farm tools.

Equipment with a slightly higher technical content is very difficult.

Let alone smelting iron, folk blacksmith's technology, compared with the young master will be prison blacksmith, not even to lift shoes.

War is just around the corner.

Gu Jiu must advance the iron smelting plan which has been postponed.

Not to mention building more sharp weapons, at least to improve the means of transport.

The current means of transport are too slow and too slow. It doesn't match the cement road at all.

Gu Jiu wants to be a coach.

However, before making the carriage, the bearing problem should be solved first.

What's the trouble with the carriage?

It's hard to turn.

If the bearing is solved, the turning of the carriage is no longer a problem.

With the carriage, the speed can be twice as fast as it is now. Bearing capacity, at least two or three hundred jin more.

There are many problems with wooden carriages.

It is a common problem that wooden wheels are broken in the middle of the road.

Moreover, the speed of wooden wheels is slow and the bearing capacity is limited.

All in all, the buggy is imperative.
