Chapter 107: I'm Coming, I'm Here, I'm With You (Part I)
"Old fox, I really don't want to get involved in cause and effect at all!" Zhang Qian quickly guessed that Yang Qi's expectations of himself might be limited to the range of "playing two poles with dates or without dates", or, far from being as high as he thought before, he couldn't help but murmur secretly in his heart.
In disappointment, after the Yushu case, Li Xian's command had already come, "Zhang Qing, Lu Shilang questioned the cost of windmills and machine shafts, which is beyond the reach of the people of the Tang Dynasty. I and Xiao Servant didn't know much about it. I am afraid that it will be difficult to estimate the prison side for a while. These two sharp weapons, what is the specific cost, is Zhang Qing willing to solve my doubts in public? ”
"Holy Lord, Weichen is willing!" Since there is a performance opportunity sent to the door, Zhang Qian will certainly not push it out. smiled and took a few steps forward, and explained loudly, "These two sharp weapons are indeed extremely expensive at first. In order to verify its efficacy, Weichen once made a complete set in his own Zhuangzi. The total cost is about 400 Kaiyuan Tongbao! ”
"Hiss-" In the Zichen Palace, the sound of gasping cold air rang out. Except for the right servant Xiao Zhizhong, almost everyone in their hearts had some sympathy for Nasha Chongyi.
The cost of 400 hangs is indeed the savings of 100 families for ten years, and it may not even be enough. According to this cost, unless the emperor pours all the treasury to support, otherwise, looking at the Tang Dynasty, there may not be more than 10,000 people who can afford to use a combination of windmills and wells.
Zhang Qian wanted this effect, and he didn't wait for the four-grade official who was in a difficult situation with him to use the topic to play, so he smiled and quickly added, "Weichen found that this thing is expensive, and it is difficult for my people in Datang to afford it." He vowed to work hard to improve its process and reduce its cost. With the concerted efforts of the Weapons Supervisor and the colleagues of the General Supervisor, and with the strong support of the two Supervisors, now, the combined cost of these two sharp weapons is less than fifty hangs, and if the imperial court is ready to manufacture them in large quantities, Weichen still has a way to reduce the cost by half! ”
"Ah, isn't that twenty-five hangings!"
"Twenty-five hangs, cheap! I'll make a pair when I turn around! ”
"Made? Think beautifully! No wonder the saint specially ordered the people of the capital water supervisor to come to chase the court, this thing must be used by the capital water supervisor first!"
"Qin Tianjian also has people, this time, they don't have to call like crows all day long!"
"It's cheaper to be a supervisor of ordnance and a supervisor who will be a prisoner, and Master Zhang is good at being a man!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Your Majesty Hongfu!"
……
As if cold water had splashed into the oil pot, in the Zichen Palace, the sound of discussion and cheers instantly became a ring.
Looking at Li Xian after the imperial book case, he also liked it with a red face, and he couldn't wait to rush down and take Zhang Qian in his arms and turn around three times.
It's too bitter, he's too bitter as an emperor! Since his second accession to the throne, the floods have not stopped. The anointed land around Chang'an City is becoming desolate day by day due to flooding. For this reason, some people have repeatedly talked about him that he is not worthy of being the emperor, and he knows it, so he can only swallow his anger! (Note: This is a historical fact, when Li Xian became emperor for the second time, floods, sandstorms, and total solar eclipses followed.) Bad luck. )
And from now on, whoever dares to secretly say that he is not worthy of the position, he can confidently order Yousi to arrest this person, and then tie this person under the windmill and die of shame.
"Shaft, there has been no joke in front of the monarch since ancient times!" In the midst of happy discussions and cheers, the voice of Lu Zhengming, the servant of the ministry, suddenly sounded again, which was more piercing than rubbing the glass with a blade.
"Zhang can demonstrate this method on the spot, as long as you can understand it!" In the absence of PPT, it is impossible to attract the attention of customers for a long time. Zhang Qian hurriedly seized the opportunity that Lu Zhengming took the initiative to hand over and announced loudly. 、
The efficiency of large-scale assembly line operations is not comparable to the piecemeal work of handicraft workshops. This conclusion has been verified countless times in later generations, and it is also applicable when it is obtained from Datang!
When Zhang Qianqian was looking for someone to help him, he wanted to promote this kind of work method countless times, but he was only hindered by his own soft-spoken words and was a newcomer.
Unexpectedly, someone was so caring, and when he was sleepy, he directly sent a pillow over!
"Shengshang, Weichen is only a shallow learner, and I am willing to ask the Shengshang to summon the supervisor and the master craftsman who will be the prisoner, and come together to verify how true Zhang Zhushu's words are." How could Lu Zhengming, the servant of the ministry, know the concept of large-scale assembly line operation? thought that Zhang Qian was deliberately bragging in order to deceive the reward, and after a little hesitation, he proposed to Li Xian.
"Don't worry about being a prisoner, Xiao should be able to understand." Without waiting for Li Xian to make a decision, Xiao Zhizhong, the right servant, had already taken Lu Zhengming's words and stood up from the brocade bench. "Holy Lord, the words in front of the book are true. Long before Bi Gou came to find the minister, the minister once sent someone to Zhang Zhu's Zhuangzi, saw his windmill and waterwheel, and estimated the cost? After getting the scroll and model sent by Bi Gou, the minister also asked the craftsman to roughly estimate the new price, which could indeed be compressed to within fifty hangings. ”
"Bo Jiang, the master of the Heavenly Prison of the Weichen Division, is willing to help Xiao Servant shoot a hand for his own use!" An eight-grade technical official who was called to participate in the pursuit of the dynasty rolled his eyes quickly, and took the initiative to get up and ask for help.
"Bo Wuqiu, the master of the water supervisor of Weichendu, is familiar with arithmetic, and he is also willing to help Xiao Fu shoot, and make a witness for Master Zhang!" Another technical official who had previously been with Zhang Qian also walked out of the queue with a smile.
"Hu Nan, director of the Ministry of Weichen Industry, slightly general ......"
"Wang Jun, a doctor of arithmetic from Weichen, is willing to ......"
……
Seeing that some people took the lead, the eighth and ninth rank technocrats who were called to participate in the pursuit of the dynasty today stood up one after another. I am afraid that my movements will be slow and I will miss the opportunity to let Li Xian, the Emperor of Yingtian Shenlong, remember his name and surname.
It's not that everyone doesn't give face to Lu Zhengming, the servant of the ministry, but this guy has gone too far tonight.
In addition to the two great dynasties a year, it is rare for everyone to see the emperor. At the time of the Great Dynasty, because the grade was too low, he had to stand under the steps outside the Hanyuan Palace, which was at least eight zhang away from the emperor. Therefore, when I was called to participate in the pursuit of the DPRK today, I was excited, but I was full of energy to perform.
And now, seeing that the pursuit of the dynasty has been going on for more than an hour, you, Xiao Dashilang, in order to hinder the promotion of Master Zhang, have been entangled endlessly, and have also instigated the emperor to mobilize new people as a supervisor. When you find all the people, it's the middle of the night, you Xiao Da Lang is happy, how can you still have a chance to leave your name and surname in the emperor's heart?!
What's more, who is Bi Gou? This old man has never lied in his life! He is willing to stand up and endorse Master Zhang, and the windmill and the machine well must be no different. And Xiao Fuchu obviously made up his mind to use the work of the windmill and the machine well to chase Bi Gou back from the degrading road. You Lu Zhengming and Bi Gou have no grievances and no hatred, why do you have to spoil other people's futures?!
"You, you ......" Seeing that so many people stood up at once, wanting to help the right prime minister Xiao Zhizhong verify the truth of what Zhang Qian said, Lu Zhengming, the servant of the ministry, finally realized that he not only could not stop Zhang Qian's future, but would become a stepping stone for the other party to climb up, and his face was so embarrassed that his face was flushed, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Since all the ministers have the intention of helping the right servant to shoot a hand, of course I am happy to see it!" Just when he was so embarrassed that he wanted to swallow back the previous words, he heard Emperor Li Xian excitedly clapping the case with his hand, "Come on, take a pen and paper, I want to witness with my own eyes, how Zhang Qing shows his skills!" ”
Drinker's note: Regarding Li Xian, this person's physical and mental state is extremely poor. It is even recorded in the history books that he talked to his courtiers and suddenly forgot the problem of his words. During his reign, his only political achievement was probably to rehabilitate the founding heroes. So don't compare him to the heroes of history.
