The special training has just started, so Fu Xiaoguan didn't worry too much about it. He let Bai Yulian deal with those guys first.
Next, he began to design the soap workshop and the papermaking workshop. These things were relatively simple. After spending two hours drawing them out, he asked Chunxiu to call Zhang Ce.
"This stuff is for making soap. The raw materials are simple. Take a look at it, and then find trustworthy people to manage these two workshops. As for the papermaking technique, I have written it down in detail. It is very different from other methods currently available. You will need to find some masters and follow my method. Take a look first, find people, then purchase the raw materials, and then make a trial and show it to me."
Zhang Ce took it and took a look. The soap was made of lard, wood ash and spice alcohol... These materials are simple, but the production steps are quite complicated. However, the young master wrote it very carefully, and if you follow it step by step, there will be no problems.
Then he looked at the papermaking method. Sure enough, the young master used wood - could this wood be used to make paper? The material for papermaking now is hemp, which is very expensive and most people can't afford it. If it were wood, it would be everywhere in the mountains and plains.
Well, the methods written by the young master are also extremely detailed. I have never seen the young master study these things. How did he know these methods?
Zhang Ce was puzzled, then took his leave to deal with these two matters.
Fu Xiaoguan walked out of the yard and went to Xishan Research Institute.
The gunpowder laboratory that Li Yi is in charge of is in the outermost room on the first floor. When Li Yi chose the place, the first thing he thought of was that this was the place where he could escape the fastest.
That makes sense. Fu Xiaoguan also feels that this job is a bit dangerous.
When Fu Xiaoguan walked into the gunpowder laboratory, Li Yi was arguing with several masters about the ratio of these things.
He listened without interrupting and left the fire and powder laboratory to go to the firearms laboratory which was also on the first floor.
Qin Chengye and twenty masters were gathered together to study the information about flintlock rifles provided by Fu Xiaoguan. Fu Xiaoguan listened again and found that there was no problem with their research direction, so he left Xishan Research Institute and returned to Xishan Villa.
The equipment and materials needed for the firearms laboratory have not yet been in place, and at this moment we are still at the stage of exploring and understanding the flintlock rifle.
He suddenly found that he seemed to be fine now, so he sat in the yard and meditated quietly, continuing to practice the Nine Yang Heart Sutra.
Su Rou turned around and glanced at Fu Xiaoguan. The embroidery needle in her hand was itching to prick him with a few needles, but she heard the voice of her senior brother: "Don't force things!"
Su Rou pouted, thinking that the boy was too busy and had too little time for cultivation. It would take him a long time to develop internal strength. If I gave him a few needles, he would be able to feel the energy quickly. How could it be considered as forcing things to happen?
As for whether his Dao heart is stable...where does that kid get that bullshit Dao heart from!
It would be great if Second Brother was here. He would definitely agree to let me give him a few injections.
Fu Xiaoguan had no idea that if Su Jue had not stopped him, he would have been able to fly tonight. At this moment, his soul was wandering in the void, and he was moving in circles with his mind according to the meridian route described in the Nine Yang Heart Sutra, looking for the elusive so-called internal force.
In the afternoon, Fu Xiaoguan wrote a letter to Dong Shulan and then practiced sword in the yard. Feng Si walked in under the leadership of Zhang Ce, which made Fu Xiaoguan very happy.
"Come, come, sit down." Fu Xiaoguan placed Su Mo's sword on the table and asked Chunxiu to make three cups of tea.
"Hello, young master!" Feng Si clasped his fists and bowed. Fu Xiaoguan chuckled, "Don't be so polite. Sit down quickly."
"This..." Feng Laosi thought about it and sat down. Chuck was about to leave, and Fu Xiaoguan kept him with him.
"How is Fenglin Mountain doing now?" asked Fu Xiaoguan.
"The road will probably be open next month. I've already arranged for people to start mining in Broken Soul Mountain..." Feng Laosi leaned forward and said mysteriously, "Young Master, let me tell you, that mine is enormous! Master Xia said that this single deposit could probably be mined for hundreds of years!"
Fu Xiaoguan was very happy, because Liu Zhizhou gave him a big gift.
"Who is this Master Xia?"
"I hired this old blacksmith from the Yao County Foundry. He's a master at prospecting. It's because of him that we were able to accurately locate the vein."
"You've done a great job. We'll reward you at the end of the year! Butler Zhang, please make a note of this. I'm afraid I've forgotten it because I've been busy with so many things. I called you back this time to discuss another matter. I heard you've started building an iron smelting furnace?"
"Yes, the valley at Broken Soul Mountain is very large, with waterfalls and lakes on the south side of the mountain. Master Xia means that the smelting furnace should be built in this place... Young Master, do you have other plans?"
Feng Si was a little nervous, after all, such a big thing did not have the young master's consent.
Fu Xiaoguan shook his head. "I originally intended to smelt it, but the construction method of this smelting furnace needs to be improved. Let me show you this—"
He took out the simple blast furnace structure diagram he had drawn and handed it to Feng Si, saying, "When you go back, discuss this smelting furnace with Master Xia and the other masters. It's called a blast furnace, and it requires a large blower to help the furnace burn. So if there's a waterfall there, that would be best. Go find Zhou Zheng and have them build a few more of those large water wheels. Use the power of the water wheels to drive the blowers—similar to how you make cement, you know."
Feng Laosi is a stonemason, so he can't understand this thing. The young master has written many steps on the paper, but he can't read. He thought that Master Xia is a learned man, so he should be able to understand it.
"To be honest, Master, I have to take this thing back for Master Xia and the others to study. I do know about the waterwheel fan. Master, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Fu Xiaoguan thought about it and felt that he had to remind Master Xia through Feng Laosi, so that he would not refuse to accept this new thing.
"Just tell Master Xia that this blast furnace can generate very high temperatures, can melt the iron ore in the shortest possible time, and remove more impurities. Unless it's a process issue, try not to modify it."
Feng Laosi took these words to heart and stood up to say goodbye. Fu Xiaoguan then said to Zhang Ce: "When the road to Fenglin Mountain is repaired, let me know. I want to go in and take a look. In addition, let the people who are repairing the road stay there for the time being. After I have seen it, I will decide what to do with these more than 30,000 people."
"good!"
"Next spring, Xishan Academy will officially open. There are many scholars among the people of Xishan. Let's find some elderly people to teach at the academy."
"Also, we need to set up a clinic in West Mountain. Those guys will definitely get injured during training, and they need treatment as soon as possible."
"For soap and perfumed soap workshops, go to Xishan and select some female workers. The consumption of these products will be very high, so you must remember that there should be no problem with the supply of raw materials."
