The Sacred Ding Chapter 223: The pack of wolves is waiting (1)

After the rejection of marriage, in order to prevent possible retaliation by Qin Muhou and Dong Shou, the Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou Mansion has successively moved most of the craftsmen from Yaoshiyuanzhai to Juquanling and will also be on Huanglongyuan Road. Approximately half of the young children in the disciple camp of the courtyard went to the Shichengling Taoyuan near Juquanling to practice.

In addition to Zhou Jun, Sun Gan, and Chen Zhang who continued to stay with Chen Lie, and followed Hexi’s soldiers and horses into Heyang and Lichuan battles, Su Yuan, Zhao Shan, Qian Wenyi and others also led the Ting Hou Mansion. Three hundred Suihu temporarily resided in Juquanling.

Even so, the people of Juquanling are still seriously insufficient.

Especially in the infield, there are only more than a hundred skilled craftsmen and craftsmen. They are responsible for the casting of military crossbows, military chariots, and puppet-level puppet arm armors, and they are also responsible for the gold-hardening iron materials. Smelt.

In fact, the casting infield at the back of Juquanling has invested a huge amount of resources unimaginable by others.

The two smelting furnaces for smelting and quenching gold and iron materials, in addition to using the top flame-collecting talisman array, the two small furnace bodies are reinforced with six to seven kilograms of black metal refined iron, otherwise the quenching iron The daily output of raw materials can hardly reach 10,000 catties.

And the cutting tools like many core parts are cast with the top-class refining materials and refined into the Xuanfudao seal. It can be said that they are not weak yellow-level middle and high-grade mysterious soldiers.

Now that so many resources have been invested, the production system of the infield has been gradually improved, but to truly realize the casting potential of the infield, it still depends on people.

Maybe the sects and clans are too urgent. Juquanling wants to let go of the infield restrictions and select 300 craftsmen from the outfield, but nearly twice as many people are rushing to sign up first. Moreover, these five to six hundred people have a good foundation for cultivation, and they are all accomplished in the casting of organ puppets and armor. The blind people also know that most of them are eyeliners infiltrated by various families.

Thinking that the infield will soon be completely penetrated by the eyeliner of every family, Zhou Jingyuan is constantly awakened from dreams at night, but Chen Hai insists on this, he can only bite the bullet and accept it.

The only thing that can give Zhou Jingyuan a little comfort is that the Juquanling foundry is still very different from the traditional foundry.

In the traditional foundry, a senior craftsman leads a group of craftsmen and craftsmen who are responsible for all the manufacturing processes of the puppet beasts.

Juquanling separates the manufacturing of the organ puppet beast into eighteen processes, and each group of craftsmen and craftsmen is only responsible for one of the processes. In Zhou Jingyuan's view, this can control the leakage of secrets as much as possible. After all, the most core component casting can still be controlled by his own hands for the time being.

As for Chen Hai's implementation of assembly line operations, one is to reduce the demand for the number of senior craftsmen, and more importantly, to greatly increase efficiency.

Assembly line operation is a production method that has long been deeply rooted in the earth, but it is an unimaginable innovation in Yenching.

Ning Chan'er took care of her wounds for two days, and then left quietly without saying hello; and there were twelve craftsmen who left with Ning Chan'er.

These craftsmen who retired without telling, everyone guessed it was the eyeliner of the Chimei Sect. This time, they should return to Yunmengze with Ning Chan'er to help cast the organ Liannu.

Every day, new craftsmen and craftsmen come to join in. It is normal for someone to leave. Chen Hai asked Zhou Jingyuan to open one eye and close one eye.

It seems that Juquanling will leak a lot of secrets because of this, but it can also get a lot of skilled craftsmen and craftsmen to use. Even if you don't consider that Rakshasa will invade Yanzhou at any time, there are advantages and disadvantages.

After the Ink Armor Workshop is on the right track, there are two Ming-Aperture Young Master Craftsmen in town, and Chen Hai will have more time to stay in Juquanling to ensure that all aspects of the infield work can quickly get on the right track; After more than three hundred were familiar with the selection and use of craftsmen in the infield, the trial-production process of the organ continuous crossbow and puppet-level puppet armbands was greatly accelerated.

Su Yuan successfully opened up the Ancestral Aperture Consciousness Sea, and Juquanling finally has Su Yuan and Wu Meng two strong Aperture Realms to support the scene. Su Yuan himself was also a craftsman, and he had expertise in refining tools.

He is in charge of internal affairs in Zhaoyangting Hou Mansion, and he is in charge of the foundry of Yao Shi Yuanzhai. Most of the Bingjia foundry in Yaoshiyuanzhai has moved to Juquanling. At this time, it was just right for Su Yuan to take charge of the affairs of the infield.

In the following months, the Great Yan Empire's war with the Black Yan Army in Lichuan, Heyang and other places has also been in a state of stalemate, and there has been no progress.

Chen Hai believes that Prince Yingdan and the others are very clear in their hearts that even if they defeat the Black Yan Army at the fastest speed and regain Heyang, Yanmen and other counties, Emperor Yitian and the King Yingshu will not allow them to rate. Two hundred thousand tigers and beavers entered Gyeonggi through Qinglongyu.

Except for the Ning family, who has already suffered a big setback, without the support of the other seven clans of Beijing, the two hundred thousand elite tigers and cardinals cannot retreat into the capital. There is no place to stand outside, and they hang alone. It will not last long.

Rather than heading north to Heyang and rushing to a decisive battle with the Black Yan army, it is better to occupy the river between Mengjindu and Wuliang Mountain and manage slowly.

And the northeast side is threatened by the Black Yan army. The prince wins Dan's army and is strong enough to return to Gyeonggi at any time. Although Yanran Palace and the Jingjun Eight Clan have some problems, the contradiction will not show up yet.

After the rapid expansion of the Xiyuan Army and the Suwei Army, the soldiers also stabilized at 200,000 and 60,000.

This is almost the limit for the counties to supply Gyeonggi at this time. After all, maintaining the combat readiness on the front line of Mengjindu and Wuliang Mountain will consume huge resources.

The Black Swallows still regularly send people to Juquanling to purchase armored weapons.

In addition to the quenched golden arrow and the quenched halberd spear, the Black Yan Army more often bought a large number of quenched armor pieces from Juquan, and even directly took the quenched iron ingots and transported them to the Black Yan Army in this The foundry set up by Yang forged armor by himself.

At this time, not only the Black Swallow Army, but also other forces, it is almost clear that apart from the military training records and the so-called inheritance behind the organ puppetry, the core advantage of Juquanling that really covets the heavens is still sufficient gold quenching. Iron supply.

At this time, it is not difficult for all the powers to guess that Juquanling digs ore from the bottom of Juquan Lake and directly smelts gold and iron materials.

At the beginning of winter in the 75th year of Yitian Emperor, the daily output of quenched gold and iron materials in Juquanling has exceeded 20,000 jin; while the Dong family controlled the three counties of Hexi, the total output of quenched gold and iron materials in one year The amount is only one million catties, which is only worth one and a half months of output in Juquanling.

At this time, the powers of the family understood that Juquan Lake contained amazing wealth, but it was already too late to make a move.

With the support of the elder son Cai Chou, the Hexi Duhu Mansion transferred Zhao Ruhui, Xie Kun and others who were close to the Zhaoyang Pavilion Mansion to work at the Lion City Ling Taoyuan.

In addition to increasing the number of disciples in the Shichengling Taoyuan and adding a foundry, an additional five hundred yamen were also deployed to strengthen defense in Shichengling, forming a horn with Juquanling.

Hexi and Qintong Mountain are separated by Tianshui County. Juquanling is nominally attached to Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion and attached to Hexi. However, it is separated from Tianshui County and the endless ridges at the western foot of Qintong Mountain. The whip was too long to control Juquanling directly.

Dong's deployment in this way is also to guard against the unruly forces, swallowing the treasures at the bottom of Juquan Lake, and kicking Hexi aside.

In exchange, Juquanling should supply a certain amount of quenching material to the foundry under the Shichengling Taoyuan at a low price; at the same time, the foundry of Juquanling also officially recruited from Taiweizong Dozens of craftsmen headed by Sun Buhui.

Regardless of whether he continues to be loyal to the Dong family and Taiweizong, this is the bargaining chip that Chen Hai must let out.

Qintong Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the Xiyuan Army. At this time, there were 40,000 elite Xiyuan Army stationed at Qintongguan, Nanzhangfu and Tongbeifu.

If Taiweizong disagrees with directly extending his tentacles into the core of Juquanling, without the restraint of the Dong clan in Hexi, Chen Haishi will have no excuse to stop the king of Yingshu from sending troops to control Juquan Lake.

In any case, Juquan Lake is controlled by Juquan Ridge at this time, but it does not belong to Juquan Ridge.

Even if Ying Wang Yingshu will not tear his face with Hexi and other forces, he will obviously not let Hexi completely control Juquan Ridge. After all, no one knows how much gold and iron can be produced from the ore at the bottom of Juquan Lake. .

As the most important casting material for the top mortal armor and the yellow-class Xuanbing ~ IndoMTL.com~ Juquanling's annual output of 6 or 7 million catties of quenched gold iron is enough to change the world's pattern; not to mention everyone in their hearts It is clear that Juquanling's output of quenched gold and iron materials still has room for a substantial increase.

Chen Xuanzhen wrote a letter suggesting that Ji Yuan Ren and Xue Cun rate the Mojia Workshop to move westward to Tongbei Prefecture, and also choose a site to relocate to the east of Juquanling before the winter.

Although the Mojia Workshop is still under Chen Hai’s direct command, it actually represents the presence of the Yanjing and Jingjun eight clans in Juquanling. The Xiyuan Army’s garrison in Tongbei Prefecture has already withdrawn. At that time, the name of Tongbei Dacang was added, and five thousand elites were stationed in.

In addition to the Shichengling Taoyuan and Mojia Workshop representing the forces of the Hexi and Jingjun eight clans, when the Yitian Emperor entered the winter in 75 years, Juquanling recruited craftsmen from outside Tongbei Prefecture, There are more than two thousand craftsmen.

Some forces didn't even conceal it. They directly sent Ming-Aperture Realm refiners to Juquanling and opened a foundry near Juquanling to send more craftsmen and craftsmen over.

Juquanling is not qualified to recruit disciples, and cannot directly impose personal restrictions on the recruited artisans and artisans, nor can it prevent artisans and artisans from flowing between different foundries.

By the time Yitian emperor entered the winter in the 75th year, the seven frontier and powerful vassals, including the Miao family in the Northern Region, the Zhao family in the Southern Region, the Gu family, and the Chu family in the Southwest Region, were granted the permission of the Tianshu Yuan to be in Juquanling Taoyuan was opened nearby.

Many forces have worked so hard for the purpose of coveting Juquanling's huge and cheap supply of quenched iron.

If only three or five Ming Aperture Realm powerhouses are transferred to three to five hundred elite combat powers, it will be possible to ensure that the supply of gold quenched iron materials will be more than doubled, and sufficient armor can be obtained from Juquanling. , Arms of War, this deal, for those powerful vassal hegemons who ruled thousands of miles or even thousands of miles, how could they not enter?
