Chapter 782

Jinzhou craftsman and machine camp supervisor? This official position is not low, and he is fat and poor. He is also an important official in a state. I remember that at the beginning, the emperor asked himself to choose one of the two positions of governor of Ganzhou craftsmanship camp and governor Qi Yun. At present, the governor of Jinzhou craftsmanship camp, who led a group of craftsmen to meet himself and Luo Yutian, made ou Tiexin, but Yan Liqiang couldn't help looking at it more.

The Jinzhou craftsman and mechanic camp supervisor was short and fat, with wrinkles, messy gray hair and a layer of coal ash on his face. The most wonderful thing was that he didn't wear any official clothes at all, even clothes. Instead, he just hung a leather apron that blacksmiths would wear when making iron. The leather apron was black and greasy, I can't see the color, but it's similar to the one used by Yan Dechang, Yan Liqiang's father, in the blacksmith's workshop.

Who dares to say that such a man is the supervisor of Jinzhou craftsmanship and machinery camp when he is left among a pile of blacksmiths? In this dress, I even ran to the street and thought he was a beggar.

After introducing himself, the Jinzhou craftsman and mechanic camp supervisor ou Tiexin stared at Yan Liqiang with bright eyes and a look of concentration and curiosity.

The words "heavenly craftsman" of the Han Empire are a shock to any craftsman in the Han Empire. The words "heavenly craftsman" represent the supreme authority and status in this circle and the peak of craftsmanship.

Seeing Yan Liqiang staring at the Ou Tiexin, Luo Yutian smiled and explained, "Li Qiang, it's not surprising that this Tiexin is usually dressed like this. I'm here today, and so is the imperial envoy, but it's not a deliberate neglect!"

Yan Liqiang smiled, "I understand that people who focus too much on their favorite fields generally don't care too much about wearing these details or other people's opinions. When I look at Lord Ou today, I know that Lord Ou must have unique attainments in iron smelting and iron making. The so-called diligence is like Lord ou!"

Hearing Yan Liqiang's words, ou Tiexin's eyes moved.

"Ha ha, Li Qiang, you guessed right. The iron core's attainments in smelting iron are really good. These days, there are some interesting things in the craftsman city. I'll take you to have a look!"

"Hahaha, I can't wait!"

"Iron core, lead the way!"

"Two adults, please follow me!" Ou Tiexin finally took his eyes back from Yan Liqiang, then turned around and walked to the craftsman city with Yan Liqiang, Luo Yutian and their attendants.

In the Han Empire, the most important reason why Jinzhou craftsman and machine camp was second to none was its scale!

For example, the craftsmanship camp in Huanglong County, which was founded by Yan Liqiang before, has only a few hundred people. It is under the jurisdiction of the governor's office of Pingxi county. Strictly speaking, it is already a county level craftsmanship camp, and the number is not small among the craftsmanship camps at the same level. There are many craftsmanship camps with more craftsmanship than Huanglong county. There are generally thousands or tens of thousands in the Empire of Han Dynasty, Even if it is a craftsmanship camp directly under the governor's office at the state level, the number is generally thousands or tens of thousands, but how many people are there in Jinzhou craftsmanship camp? For more than 300000 people, the whole empire could not find a craftsmanship camp with a larger scale and more people than this one. The scale of this craftsmanship camp is really the first in the world.

In the Jinzhou carpentry and ordnance camp, everything that can be used in the army, from nails for nailing horseshoes to soldiers' shoes, belts and armor, from ordinary swords to heavy equipment for siege, and crossbows such as eight cattle crossbows, can be produced. Almost more than 90% of the military supplies of the whole Jinzhou army come from the Jinzhou carpentry and ordnance camp.

Other craftsmen and craftsmen camps either set aside a piece of land to make a camp, or they live in the city. However, the craftsmen and craftsmen camp in Jinzhou has gradually become a city because of its large scale. The craftsmen of the craftsmen and craftsmen camp live and work in the city. The whole city is a craftsman city. On weekdays, the craftsman city is like a military camp, They are not open to people outside. If they are not led, ordinary people can't enter this place. This is why Yan Liqiang saw so many towering chimneys outside the city, because the city itself is a super factory.

As soon as the party entered the city, Yan Liqiang saw a worker like man driving two cows and pulling a string of cattle carts past him. It was not unusual that the cattle carts they pulled were actually connected one by one, a bit like a train carriage. What was pulled in the cattle cart was some coal.

After a few more steps, Yan Liqiang looked at an open leather workshop on the side of the road. A modified steam engine was clattering, driving two iron rollers. Pieces of freshly treated leather were pressed over. Next to him was an oily craftsman in his thirties, shouting, "try first, try first, I don't know how long the machine can last. The speed is too high. It's necessary to slow it down. It's best to set a hand guard where the leather is put, so that it won't be useless if you accidentally put your hand in... "

In such an era, in the Han Empire, he suddenly walked into a city with a little industrial flavor. This feeling is really magical for Yan Liqiang, but this magical feeling is actually wonderful for Yan Liqiang, because among all people, Yan Liqiang knows the great power that industry and efficient production can bring.

Walking on the streets of the craftsmanship City, there was almost no other person in front of us except all kinds of craftsmen working and occasionally patrolling sergeants. On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of workshops, warehouses or Sergeant camps. Between those workshops and warehouses, there were all kinds of cattle carts and carriages coming and going, Carrying all kinds of things. After walking in the craftsman's camp for a while, Yan Liqiang saw more than one steam engine. From the style of those steam engines, Yan Liqiang saw that these steam engines were imitated, and the target of their imitation was the steam engines produced by their own manufacturing Bureau. The steam engines produced by Northwest manufacturing bureau had some unique structures, So Yan Liqiang saw it at a glance“ Lord ou, does this craftsman city also produce water lighters? " Yan Liqiang asked“ Well, the water lighter we produce here is a replica of the water lighter produced by the manufacturing Bureau under the command of adults! " The Ou Tiexin frankly admitted that he was not embarrassed at all, and his eyes flashed, "do you want to see our workshop producing water lighter?"
