Chapter 165: Wise Generals and Fierce Generals
After hearing that Jiang Chen had something to assign to them.
A group of craftsmen stood up.
After a while, the craftsmen that Jiang Chen had recruited at the beginning also rushed over.
"My lord, you are back!"
"Yeah, I'm back."
"You have come at the right time. I happen to have something I want to entrust to you."
Looking at these amiable people, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"If you have anything to say, sir, just tell me!"
"Yes, we will do our best to complete it."
When the craftsmen saw that Jiang Chen had something for them to do, they immediately became interested.
You know, they have been here since they completed the mission in Moss Palace last time.
Jiang Chen never contacted them again, which made them so bored that they were about to have problems.
"Okay, let me ask you, is there anyone among you who knows how to make paper?!"
Jiang Chen signaled the craftsmen to be quiet for a moment, then asked.
After being asked this by Jiang Chen, the craftsman who was originally very excited suddenly became quiet.
Seeing that the craftsmen were silent, Jiang Chen suddenly became anxious.
However, what surprised Jiang Chen was.
Just when he was about to give up the idea, two thin craftsmen came out.
"Well, sir, my brother and I studied with the same master for a few days."
"But our best skill is still carving. If you really want to make paper."
"Then we two brothers are willing to give it a try!"
Jiang Chen was immediately delighted when he heard the words of the two thin craftsmen.
"well!"
"You two go to the side and rest for a while, it's just you two!"
"Yes, sir."
When the two craftsmen saw that Jiang Chen was willing to use them, they happily stood aside.
"Okay, the rest of you, I will ask you a few questions."
"How many people can forge iron?!"
Jiang Chen looked at the remaining craftsmen and asked impatiently.
He now urgently needs a blacksmith to make some things.
Although the dozen or so blacksmiths before also needed it, he wanted to forge something.
These dozen or so blacksmiths are simply not enough!
After a while, more than twenty craftsmen stood up.
Looking at these twenty people, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, the rest of you can go back first."
"Please don't be discouraged. I will need you for more things in the future!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, the craftsman who was originally worried about not being able to do anything for Jiang Chen immediately got rid of his previous gloom.
Their faces were all filled with happy smiles.
After seeing off many craftsmen, Jiang Chen turned around and took nearly forty blacksmiths with him.
And the thin pair of brothers came all the way to the blacksmith workshop.
"I have called you here to study a new papermaking process."
"I don't know, what do you think about this?"
After Jiang Chen and a group of craftsmen walked into the blacksmith workshop.
Only then did he slowly tell them his plan of looking for them.
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, all the craftsmen were stunned.
They didn't expect that Jiang Chen would call them over.
It turned out to be for researching new papermaking technology !
You know, whether it is Xia Kingdom or the other six countries.
The price of something like paper is still relatively affordable.
But the quality is not very good!
It can simply be described as shoddy.
This is the paper that Jiang Chen and his subordinates often use to send letters.
It is a more advanced type specially provided for high-ranking officials and powerful people.
If what Jiang Chen said is true, then for the entire Xia country.
This is undoubtedly a technological innovation!
However, Jiang Chen was not planning to teach this technique to others.
Yes, that's right!
Jiang Chen just wanted to use the papermaking method he remembered from his previous life.
Apply it to Xia Country's current papermaking industry and make a fortune!
It has to be said that if paper could be successfully made according to the papermaking method of the previous life.
Jiang Chen can confidently say that it is definitely not worse than the so-called high-end paper from Xia Country!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen told the two brothers in detail the papermaking method he remembered.
"Sir, if we follow this method."
"Is it really possible to make the kind of high-quality paper you're talking about?"
The two thin brothers looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
It’s not that they don’t believe Jiang Chen’s words.
But the papermaking method that Jiang Chen described is nothing like the production method of those high-end papers.
The materials used are all cheap, or even worthless.
"Just do as I say, and that's all."
Jiang Chen didn't know how to talk to these two people.
He could only ask the two of them to do as he said.
After telling the two brothers the method of papermaking, Jiang Chen looked at the blacksmiths.
"Everyone, I want to ask you something."
"How many of the 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles' that I asked you to make earlier do you have now?"
The blacksmiths who had been waiting for a long time saw Jiang Chen finally looking at them.
The leader, Guan Lao Er, quickly stood up and saluted Jiang Chen.
"Sir, that 'Rain of Pear Blossom Needles' has been working for the past three months."
"We have built a total of 4,000."
"Good, follow the speed and speed up a bit."
"How about this, half of you continue to create the 'Rain of Pear Blossom Needles'."
"As for the rest of you, try to forge weapons using these methods."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out the methods of frying steel and pouring steel that he had written.
Also, there is a picture of a crooked and complex structure.
"Sir, what is this structural diagram of?"
Looking at the painting Jiang Chen took out, Guan Lao Er asked with some confusion.
Seeing Guan Lao Er raised a question, Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"The method I'm going to give you requires extremely high heat to achieve."
“So, this device is essential.”
"As for its effect, you will know once you try it."
After saying that, Jiang Chen left.
He has already handed over the things to these craftsmen. As for whether they can succeed, it depends on their abilities.
The drawing he took out was the structural design of the bellows and blower.
It was difficult for Jiang Chen to draw this structural diagram.
Fortunately, he finally drew it based on his memory.
After finishing these things, Jiang Chen got on the carriage and returned to his Jiyuan Marquis Mansion.
As soon as they returned to the Jiyuan Marquis Mansion, two strong men in civilian clothes walked in.
"My lord, you are finally back."
"If you don't come back, we'll go look for you."
Looking at the two strong men, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
"I almost forgot about you guys. How are you? How do you feel about the Imperial Capital?"
These two strong men were Du Meng and Wang Zhongqing who were sent by King Huai'an to help Jiang Chen.
When Jiang Chen first learned that King Huai'an had assigned these two to him, he was so happy that he was happy for several days.
After all, these two people can be called "wise general" and "fierce general".
Jiang Chen has seen how powerful these two are!
