Wei Bao walked out of the brick kiln, "What's the matter?"

"Young Master, this girl wants to see you." Lin Wenbiao replied.

Wei Bao didn't really hear the voice of a woman just now. He saw a girl of 1.7374, tall and big, like a man. If it weren't for two raised chests on her chest, it would be difficult to distinguish between men and women.

Wei Bao looked up at the girl with a funny look. Wei Bao is only 1.6 meters tall and has not yet fully developed. However, according to the heights of Wei Dakang and Huang Ying, Wei Bao is confident that he will grow more than 1.7 meters in the future. He eats well now and pays attention to exercise. He must grow taller scientifically in this life.

Wei Bao actually didn't care much about his height. He was 1.7 meters tall and thought it was almost done.

The woman looks taller. This girl of 1.7374 seems to be one head taller than him in front of Wei Bao, so Wei Bao has to look up.

"Young Master." The girl clasped her fists and saluted her. She looked very much like a child from the world.

"Who are you? Who are you in charge?" Wei Bao asked, "What are you asking for me."

It was seen that this girl should not be a native of Jinshan, and she had a strong Liaodong accent. It was estimated that she should have come from outside the pass. There were very few women who got from outside, and the ratio of men and women was almost 9 to 1. There were at least 2,800 men in the 3,000 people, and women were only about 200. Most of them followed their father and brother to enter Wei Bao's armor.

The girl was about to speak.

A blacksmith from the Military Industry Department came out of the brick kiln. Wei Bao had already met this man just now.

The man said to Wei Bao: "Young Master, I'm sorry for my crime. This is my sister. I'm now helping with some rough work in the cafeteria. My sister and I both came from outside the pass to famine. If the young master hadn't taken in, I would have been frozen to death and starved to death. My sister was ignorant and ran into the young master."

Wei Bao said, "What's your name?"

"If you say goodbye, my name is Deng Daliang, and my sister is Deng Erxian. This is how she talks to anyone." Deng Daliang replied with his fists.

"Deng Daliang was recommended to me by Wang Blacksmith, who said that his skills were very good." Tan Fengzi said from the side: "I saw that he was smart in his work and was willing to work hard, so he summoned him to the Military Industry Office."

Wei Bao nodded and looked at the tall and big girl named Deng Erxian.

"Young Master, I heard that there will be no more people in the cafeteria in the future. I will be a blacksmith, and my skills are no worse than my brother! I want to ask my master to allow me to be a blacksmith." Deng Erxian recommended himself: "I will do it well, and I don't need wages, so I can keep my meals."

Wei Bao thought it was fun, so he liked the Northeast girl's fierce spirit. This girl was comparable to Fan Xiaolin. She smiled and nodded but didn't say anything.

"No, is there any woman doing work? Just find some rough work. Now I am appreciated by Team Tan and the young master. If you have a good job, I won't be hungry." Deng Daliang was afraid that his sister would say the wrong thing, so he quickly shook his mouth. He was afraid that the young master would think that women were unlucky in their business, especially in their business. When his sister was good at blacksmithing craftsmanship, it was because his father had spoiled her when he passed away, so she let her watch from the side. Who knew that his sister was born with spirituality in these things, and she had secretly learned all the blacksmithing craftsmanship.

Deng Erxian pouted when he heard his brother say this, but he didn't dare to say anything else.

"Who said that women cannot do things? Didn't your sister say that her skills are not worse than you?" Wei Bao didn't care. In modern people's concepts, there was no such thing as women who could do things. The reason why he didn't get women over was mainly because of the fact that women in the Ming Dynasty could cook and make up clothes, and there were few things they could do, so he didn't get any women into the original academy.

Deng Erxian was very happy when he heard Wei Bao say this, and continued to say loudly happily: "Young master, I can do anything, my blacksmith work is better than my brother."

Deng Daliang was waiting to stop his sister from speaking, but the young master scolded him just now, and now he dared not swear anymore.

"Have you ever been exposed to gunpowder?" Wei Bao asked Deng Erxian excitedly.

"Gunpowder? Yes, I can, I can do it, I can also make firecrackers." Deng Erxian replied.

"Well, you will be in the Military Industry Bureau from now on, and work with your brother!" Wei Bao smiled and said, "You are the official member of our Tiandi Business."

Deng Daliang and Deng Erxian were overjoyed when they heard this. Their eyes turned red when they were excited. They thanked Wei Bao together.

Wei Bao smiled and asked them to get up, and said to Lin Wenbiao: "Remember to turn around and say to Manager Luo. From now on, in our business, women are like men. As long as they have the ability and are willing to do things, they will not be treated lower than men."

Lin Wenbiao hurriedly stood at attention and bowed slightly and said, "Yes, young master, remember, I will tell Manager Luo later."

Everyone looked at Deng Erxian in shock, and couldn't help but look at Mr. Wei, and was surprised. They didn't expect that here, women could work like men and do such "technical" work.

This is a matter of "the great thing" in the Ming Dynasty, but in Wei Bao, there is only a light sentence, this is the benefit of having your own "territory". In the original aptitude, Wei Bao is the heaven!

"Also, you can arrange it now and build a house in the Warship Bay. As the military industry station, it is too conspicuous here." Wei Bao said to Lin Wenbiao with his ears: "Let them move over as soon as possible."

"Yes, young master, I'll do it right away!" Lin Wenbiao quickly replied softly. Knowing that the Bay of the Warship is where the Young Master stores the "big ship", they are not used to calling the huge iron ship a warship.

After this song, Wei Bao continued to go in and asked everyone to do things while talking about smokeless gunpowder.

The smokeless gunpowder in history was first invented by French chemist and engineer P. Vieri in 1884.

The nitrofiber invented by Schönbein in 1845 was very unstable and there were many gunpowder bank explosions.

Vieri developed it into colloids, pressed it into sheets, cut it into strips and hardened it, and then made the first smokeless gunpowder. This invention is of great significance.

It is also the most critical step in the production process.

After the smokeless gunpowder burns, there is no residue, no or only a small amount of smoke, but it can provide ammunition conditions for the range, ballistic straightness and shooting accuracy.

The heavy machine gun invented by Maxim was able to have practical value because of the use of smokeless gunpowder.

The explosion of explosives is through a certain external excitation impulse. Detonation is an explosion when the propagation speed of the chemical reaction zone in the explosive is greater than the sound speed in the explosives. It is a typical form of energy release of explosives.

After using smokeless gunpowder, it can not only enhance its power by dozens of times, but also increase stability and save materials, which is much more cost-effective than black gunpowder.

Wei Bao knew that he was going to inspect the progress of gunpowder today, so on the first day, he had copied a copy of the information on the production of smokeless gunpowder by three "craving traveling through the giant brothers" and recorded the production process of the three people in detail for reference.

"You have to develop the smokeless gunpowder and explosives I mentioned!" Wei Bao felt a little passionate. Regardless of whether he had the ability to develop guns, bullets, cannons, shells, and other smoked gunpowders, at least they could provide a solid guarantee for simple defensive weapons such as mines, explosives, and grenades: "Manager Dong, please pick three or four people to do this."

"Yes, young master." Dong Huojin saw that the young master trusted him so much, and had just appointed him to do the management and asked him to be responsible for the development of this kind of gunpowder that sounded very 'awesome'. He felt that his blood was burning, and his old black face became more and more serious.

"Qian Xueke, Zheng Ergou, and the two brothers and sisters of the Deng family. Is it okay?" Dong Huojin asked.

Wei Bao handed the cheat sheet that recorded the process of making smokeless gunpowder to Dong Huojin and smiled and said, "You have the final say here now. Don't ask me. If you have anything in the future, you can tell me directly. If you can't find me, you can tell Lin Wenbiao."

"Yes, young master." Dong Huojin quickly agreed and asked, "Young master, when will you go to the mountains to explode coals?"

Madman Tan had already told them that it would be best to put it at night, but he didn't say which day it was. Dong Huojin thought to himself that he was in charge now, so he asked the young master directly.

Wei Bao thought for a while and said, "The faster the better!" The coal was blown out, and it had to be mined, cement and bricks. He had to be connected with the project of digging the foundation of the city wall. The time was too fast!

"Then try it first tonight?" Dong Huojin said: "Try a few more points and see where there is more coal, and blow it up again tomorrow."

"Okay!" Wei Bao was very satisfied with Dong Huojin's attitude. He thought this man was very clever and positive, and thought to himself that he had found the right person.

"When is the time to set? Is the young master coming?" Dong Huojin asked, "I will go and check in the spot later."

Wei Bao thought for a while: "It's the second half of the night." He hesitated whether he wanted to come, and paused for more than ten seconds before saying: "I will come here in person in the second half of the night!"

If this matter wasn't too important, Wei Bao wouldn't intend to participate in it personally. This was the first explosion in the creation of the world!

Dong Huojin saw the hopeful light in the young master's eyes and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, young master, we will definitely be able to blow up coal!"

Wei Bao nodded and said nothing. What he wanted to see was the result, not listen to these bold words, but he still praised Dong Huojin's positive attitude.

Madman Tan smiled slightly and saw that Mr. Wei admired Dong Huojin a little, and was also happy for Dong Huojin. Dong Huojin has been in Lao Linzi for more than ten years and has rich experience. He is just not good at fighting, is good at tinkering with gunpowder, and is an iron tool. After all, these things are not very useful in the Liuzi Gang, so they have never been promoted. Now that he has reached Mr. Wei, he has found a place to use it.

The group of escorts around Tan Fengzi and Wei Bao suddenly discovered that no matter who they are, as long as they have specialties and expertise, they will definitely find something that suits them as long as they are from the young master.

Wei Bao not only looked at it, but also followed it, learned to make leads and mix ingredients, and became more and more aware that ancient people were smart. Especially after asking, they realized that none of the people here could read.

"You must all be literate, describe the production process in words, and learn to draw pictures. You must not only know how to do it, but also master the principles and research the principles." Wei Bao said: "This is not only convenient for your own research and development, but also facilitates others to teach you, and facilitate future people to have experience. Industrial production, whether it is civil industry, military industry, or heavy industry, are very rigorous things. If it is OK, it is OK. If it is not OK, it is not OK. It is not OK."

Everyone thought Wei Bao’s words made sense.

"But young master, where can I learn to read? Should I ask us to go to a private school?" Deng Erxian asked.

Wei Bao smiled slightly and said to Dong Huojin, "Manager Lin has someone in his hands. Please turn around and say to him, find a literate gentleman to come to you and let him go with you!"

"Yes, young master." Dong Huojin replied.

Wei Bao thought about it and denied it again: "Forget it, I'll make arrangements in a few days!"

"Yes, young master." Dong Huojin agreed again, wondering why the young master changed his mind so quickly.

Wei Bao didn't change his mind, but thought that the education system had not been built yet, and there was still a problem with writing. He did not plan to promote traditional Chinese characters here, but instead promoted simplified characters, starting with the "Fa Book"! He also had to find time to produce simple textbooks before he could start education.

Wei Bao stayed with a group of people for a while before leaving, and he felt much better. He believed that as long as he got out the gunpowder and flipped out the coal, he would soon be able to enter the fast lane of building basic industries.

If there is no information, there is a warship, if it is just a time traveling giant with nothing, Wei Bao really dares not imagine why he is in the Ming Dynasty.

When Wei Bao returned to her house, Fan Xiaolin was not there. Fan Xiaolin's current workplace is mainly in several warehouses. She had no choice but to build an office place, which could only be in the largest warehouse. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for others to find her. There were too many people looking for her every day, otherwise they would have to come to Wei Bao's residence.

Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya were busy copying the "Dharma Book" provided to them by Wei Bao.

The reason why he simply called the "Dharma Book" instead of a certain law or a certain law is to avoid being suspicious. He has no right to ask about his own territory, as long as it is not unless it is the Ming Dynasty law.

Now this "Da Book" is the basis for the behavior of this small "society" and small "country" built by Wei Bao.

When the two of them saw Wei Bao coming back, they looked up together, and Xu Rui said, "Young Master, you are back. There are so many words, I don't recognize them. No, I can't recognize at least 90% of the words. I can probably guess what they mean. I thought I had almost recognized all the words. I can recognize them all after reading the Four Books and Five Classics of the Master."

Wei Bao saw Xu Rui feeling aggrieved and smiled slightly. He knew that Xu Rui was very smart, but he was very talented in the brothel, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which he taught in the brothel. He was already very talented in three or four years of knowledge.

"It's not that you can't recognize it, but that most of the words are simplified." Wei Bao replied.

"Simplified?" Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya almost spoke in unison.

Wei Bao nodded and smiled, "What's wrong? I invented it. In the future, all of us will learn to simplify the words!"

Wei Bao had already thought about this issue in advance. His subordinates would learn simplified characters in the future, which would create a gap with other parts of the Ming Dynasty. He was not worried about this because he did not intend to expand within the Ming Dynasty. Even if he expanded the territory of the power, he would select smart and capable people from his subordinates. At that time, these people would not have difficulty learning traditional Chinese characters with simplified characters.

He mainly aims to speed up the literacy speed for everyone and use the fastest method to improve the literacy rate. He considers the efficiency and cost perspectives. The world is so big, and Wei Bao's knowledge comes from three hundred years later. Looking at the entire world and a broader historical time and space. Simplifying the characters has a barrier to the expansion of the scope of power within the Ming Dynasty, but it will definitely help more for popularizing men outside the Ming Dynasty and improving the literacy rate of people below.

Wei Bao thinks that words are tools, efficiency is demand, and simplification is needed and inevitable.

Chinese characters are created to record Chinese. In terms of recording Chinese, no word can compare to Chinese characters.

Traditional Chinese characters are indeed slightly conducive to understanding some of the contents of ancient books and are more beautiful in calligraphy, but this is a higher level of demand. Wei Bao thinks that as a hobby, it is good, and 99.99% of the people under his command are illiterate, so don’t make things difficult for them.

There are indeed unreasonable aspects of simplified characters, and there are many, but overall, there are great improvements from traditional characters to simplified characters.

Simplified Chinese characters are more scientific and simple. If the cost of literacy is increased too high, there is no need.

Moreover, many of the problems with Chinese characters have a long history and have existed for a long time, and are often not the problems of simplified Chinese characters. Some characters are not in the form of the form or phonography. The historical legacy is written in this way, and the conventions are made, which has nothing to do with whether simplified Chinese or not.

Chinese characters have been developed for thousands of years, from oracle bone inscriptions to simplified Chinese characters, and have undergone many changes. Chinese characters, as a kind of text, are the most beautiful text in the world. But text is first and foremost a tool to record language.
