Silver Overlord - Chapter 803

[Chapter 771 The 1st Craftsman City]

Jinzhou Craftsmanship Supervision?

This official position is not low, and it is fat and poor, and it is also an important official in a state. I remember that His Majesty the emperor asked himself to choose one of the two positions of Ganzhou Craftsmanship Supervisor and Qi Yun Supervisor. In front of this Jinzhou Craftsmanship Camp, who led a group of craftsmen to welcome him and Luo Yutian, supervised the manufacture of Ou Tiexin, but Yan Liqiang couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

This Jinzhou craftsmanship superintendent is short and fat, full of wrinkles, a mess of gray hair, and a layer of soot on his face. The most strange thing is that this person is not wearing any official uniforms at all. He didn’t even wear clothes, but just hung around his neck a leather apron that a blacksmith would wear when he was working on iron. The one used is similar.

If such a person is thrown into a pile of blacksmiths, who would dare to say that he is the supervision of Jinzhou Craftsmanship?

In this outfit, he might even think he was begging when he ran into the street.

After introducing himself, Ou Tiexin, the superintendent of the Jinzhou Craftsmanship Camp, stared at Yan Liqiang with bright eyes, focused and curious.

The words “Heavenly Craftsman” in the Han Empire are a shock to any craftsman in the Han Empire. The four characters “Heavenly Master Craftsman” represent the supreme authority and status in this circle, and are the pinnacle of craftsmen.

Seeing that Yan Liqiang was looking at that Ou Tiexin more, Luo Yutian explained with a smile, “Don’t be surprised by Liqiang, this Tiexin usually wears this dress, I came here today, and the same is true when the imperial emissary came, but this is not the case. It

‘s not deliberately neglecting!”

Yan Liqiang laughed, “I understand that people who are too focused on their favorite fields generally don’t care too much about the details of their clothes, and they don’t care about the opinions of others. When I saw Mr. Ou today, I knew Mr. Ou. You must have unique accomplishments in smelting and making iron, and the so-called proficiency in industry is like Master Ou!”

Hearing Yan Liqiang’s words, that Ou Tiexin’s eyes moved.

“Hahaha, Li Qiang, you really guessed it right. Tie Xin’s accomplishments in smelting and making iron are really impressive. These days, there are some interesting things in this craftsman city. I will show you!”

“Hahaha, I can’t ask for it!” “Tie Xin

, lead the way!”

“Two adults, please come with me!” That Ou Tiexin finally took his eyes away from Yan Liqiang, then turned around and took Yan Liqiang, Luo Yutian and two People’s entourage walked into the artisan city.

In the Han Empire, the most important reason why Jinzhou Craftsmanship Camp is second to none is its size!

Like the Huanglong County Craftsmanship Camp that Yan Liqiang started before,

there were only a few hundred people in that craftsmanship battalion, which was under the jurisdiction of the Pingxi County Governor’s Office. It’s not too small. There are many craftsmanship camps in the Han Dynasty with more craftsmen than Huanglong County. Generally, there are thousands of them, and there are tens of thousands of them. Even the craftsmanship camps directly under the governor’s office at the state level are generally the same number of people. There are only a few thousand or tens of thousands, but how many people are there in this Jinzhou Craftsmanship Camp?

With a total of more than 300,000 people, the entire empire cannot find a craftsmanship battalion with a larger scale and a larger number of people than this craftsmanship battalion. The scale of this craftsmanship battalion is really the largest in the world.

In the Jinzhou Craftsmanship Camp, as long as the army can use the things, from the nails for nailing horseshoes, to the shoes, belts and armor of the soldiers, from ordinary swords, to heavy equipment for siege, eight cattle crossbows and so on The ballistas of Jinzhou can all be produced in this Jinzhou craftsmanship camp. Almost 90% of the military supplies of the entire Jinzhou army come from the Jinzhou craftsmanship camp.

Other craftsmanship camps either set up a site to make their own camps, or they are located in the city. Only this craftsmanship camp in Jinzhou, because of its large scale, slowly became a city by itself. The craftsmen of the Craftsmanship Camp live and work in this city. The whole city is self-contained, called Craftsman City. On weekdays, this Craftsman City is like a military camp, and it is not open to outsiders. If it is not led by someone, it is generally No one can get into this place.

This is also the reason why Yan Liqiang saw so many towering chimneys in the city outside the city, because the city itself is a super factory.

As soon as the group entered the city, Yan Liqiang saw a worker-like man driving two oxen and pulling a string of ox carts past him. The two oxen were not unusual. The links are connected, a bit like the carriages of a train. The ox cart is pulling some coal.

After a few more steps, Yan Liqiang looked at an open leather workshop on the side of the road, a refitted steam engine was running, driving two iron rollers, and a piece of just treated steam engine was running. The leather was pressed on it, and a 30-year-old craftsman with a greasy face was shouting, “Try first, try first, I don’t know how long this machine will last, the speed is too high, it needs to be slowed down. A little bit, a little bit slower, it’s better to set a handguard where the leather is put, so as not to accidentally put your hand in and the hand will be useless…”

In such an era, in the Han Empire, suddenly walking into a place with a little industrial For Yan Liqiang, this feeling is a bit magical, but for Yan Liqiang, this magical feeling is actually very wonderful, because of all people, Yan Liqiang knows the most about industry and efficient production. tremendous power.

Walking on the streets of the Craftsman City, apart from the various craftsmen at work and the sergeants who occasionally pass by patrolling, almost no one else can be seen. On both sides of the street, there are not various All kinds of workshops are all kinds of warehouses, or they are sergeants’ camps. Between those workshops and warehouses, there are constantly all kinds of ox carts and carriages coming and going, transporting all kinds of things.

Just after walking in this craftsmanship camp for a while, Yan Liqiang saw more than one steam engine. From the styles of those steam engines, Yan Liqiang could see at a glance that these steam engines were all imitations, and the objects they imitated, It is the steam engine produced by the Manufacturing Bureau under his command. The steam engine produced by the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau has some unique structures, so Yan Liqiang can see it at a glance.

“Master Ou, is there a water fire machine in this craftsman city?” Yan Liqiang asked.

“Well, it’s produced. The water fire machine we produce here is also the imitation of the water fire machine produced by the manufacturing bureau under your command!” The Ou Tiexin admitted frankly, not at all embarrassed, and his eyes were still shining, “I don’t know what your lord thinks. Don’t want to visit the workshop where we make water lighters?”
