Between two points, it is difficult to align, and it is impossible to align completely.

"Well, let's make a ruler first." Li Zhongyi nodded and agreed with Wang Xiaoyi's opinion.

The standardization work has a long way to go, and in just one month, it is impossible for Li Zhongyi to complete such a heavy task.

According to the current technology, it can be accurate to the level of the ruler at most, and as for the marking of the inch, it is inevitable that there will be a large error.

Damn, I don't know how the working people of the Qin Dynasty could have made crossbow arrows with almost no errors more than a thousand years ago?

Don't say it, although this Wang Xiaoyi is old and frail, he has a lot of experience.

After taking Li Zhongyi's ruler-making task, Wang Xiaoyi first found two short saw blades, and Li Zhongyi saw these two short saw blades, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Just by looking at it, these two thin short saw blades, with smooth backs, look very straight, and are obviously produced with a fixed mold.

Wang Xiaoyi put the twine brought back by Li Zhongyi on top of the short saw blade, and ordered Gao Xiaoer to pull the ruler to the tightest Cheng dù.

Li Zhongyi hurriedly handed the charcoal pen in his hand to Wang Xiaoyi's hand, and after Wang Xiaoyi thanked him, he picked up another short saw blade with his left hand, pressed it horizontally on the twine, and compared it with the dots that Li Zhongyi pointed out on the twine, and began to mark it very seriously.

Due to the unusually slow progress and the need for repeated consideration, it took Wang Xiaoyi more than half an hour to draw the first standard ruler handled by Li Zhongyi on the saw blade.

Li Zhongyi noticed that Wang Xiaoyi's method of making a ruler is exactly in line with the logic of right-angle positioning in modern mathematics.

Thin, straight-looking short saw blades produced by molds are cross-aligned and positioned. Its scientificity is naturally much stronger than Li Zhongyi's visual inspection.

Li Zhongyi looked at the first standard ruler in Wang Xiaoyi's hand, and he couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly, in modern times, people are used to some things. In the latter week, when science and technology were very backward, it actually became a high-tech thing.

"Back to Shangguan, the villain can only draw inches, and as for inches below, there is nothing he can do." Wang Xiaoyi arched his hand and reported to Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "You did a good job." However, one such ruler is definitely not enough, and the stock of saw blades is not much, so it is better to make a wooden ruler. ”

Wang Xiaoyi thought about it carefully and explained: "Don't hide it from Shangguan. This wooden ruler is quite difficult, and it is impossible to cut it as thin as a saw blade first. ”

Li Zhongyi thinks about it, the construction period is too tight, and he has no time to waste in pursuit of absolute standardization.

"Well, let's make ten rulers like this." Li Zhongyi gave the task to Wang Xiaoyi. Start working on the next puzzle.

At present, with a ruler, the ink pen draws straight lines. There is a basic guarantee.

Of course, Li Zhongyi can't ask for a completely accurate straightness, so he can only pinch his nose to recognize, roughly a straight line, and try to waste as little sawmilling man-hours, which is considered a success.

There was not a single long saw blade. Li Zhongyi thought about it carefully and decided that he could only give up this idea for the time being. After all. Saw blades are involved in steelmaking, ironmaking. Moulds and other more specialized metallurgical fields.

There is not even a blacksmith at the scene, even if Li Zhongyi wants to be a real person, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without a craftsman.

When Li Zhongyi's gaze swept over a saw, he suddenly realized that this saw was obviously very different from the saw used by the carpenter who renovated their home.

Li Zhongyi vaguely remembered that the wooden saw used by the master carpenter for decoration was not only reinforced with hemp rope, but presented an I-shaped style, with one side as if it was a stretch thread, and the other side was a saw blade.

Moreover, the saw that Li Zhongyi had seen should have a fixed piece of wood wrapped around the stretching thread.

Thinking of this, Li Zhongyi walked up to the craftsmen and asked loudly: "Who has done carpentry work for more than five years?" ”

At first, the craftsmen looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and no one dared to take the initiative to stand up.

Later, Li Xiaoqi helped shout a few times, saying that Shangguan had a reward, and then an old craftsman with a gray head walked out of the crowd tremblingly.

Li Zhongyi politely led the old craftsman to the official hall, and in front of him, drew a picture of a modern wooden saw.

"What do you call an old man?" Li Zhongyi personally handed over a cup of hot tea and stuffed it into the old carpenter's hand.

The old carpenter's hand shook, and he almost dropped the teacup, and replied in a trembling voice: "The villain has no name, and the craftsmen call the villain 'old dog'." ”

Li Zhongyi also knows that many untouchables have no names because their parents are illiterate.

However, the old dog is indeed too ugly, Li Zhongyi thought about it, and said, "You will be called Li Dan in the future." ”

"Oh, thank you Shangguan for the name, thank you Shangguan for the name......" The old dog, who is now renamed Li Dan, was so happy that he was about to jump up, nodded his head, bowed his hands, and wanted to kneel and kowtow, but was stopped by Li Zhongyi.

Being able to get the surname of the honorable lord made the old dog dan immersed in boundless joy, and he couldn't wait to run out immediately and tell everyone the great news, he finally had a name.

"Li Dan, can you understand this drawing?" Li Zhongyi thought that the old dog was probably unable to understand, who would have thought that he would actually hunch his waist and say, "Back to Shangguan's words, the villain can see clearly, the left is a saw blade, the right is a hemp rope, and there is a piece of wood in the middle." It's just that the villain can't read and can't understand what is next to him......"

Li Zhongyi nodded, it doesn't matter if he is illiterate, many craftsmen are illiterate, but the things they make are not bad.

So, Li Zhongyi explained in detail the principle of the new saw, although Li Dan is old, his comprehension ability is not bad, Li Zhongyi has just explained it three times, and he has already understood Li Zhongyi's intentions.

"Back to Shangguan, this thing seems complicated, but it's actually relatively easy. The main thing is that the villain hasn't seen this thing before. Li Shan counted with his fingers and said cautiously, "I don't know if the villain can make it in half an hour, is it considered slow?" ”

Li Zhongyi's eyes lit up, the new-style saw that was already very complicated in his eyes, he didn't expect Li Dan to be able to do it like this, and he really picked up a treasure.

After the problem of the saw was handed over to Li Dan, when it was time to eat, the craftsmen saw the pork roasted white radish, their eyes glowed green, and some greedy craftsmen didn't even realize that saliva was dripping on their clothes.

When the craftsmen were eating, Li Zhongyi sorted out his thoughts and felt that what he did today was a little disrupted.

In addition to the necessary technical preparations, more importantly, the mechanism for organizing and managing production needs to be sound, and the team responsible for supervising and coordinating production also needs to be implemented by people.

After the craftsmen had eaten, Li Zhongyi found the older people beside him.

Due to the shortage of blacksmiths, Li Zhongyi first asked everyone: "Who knows how to strike iron, this official guarantees that there is meat to eat at every meal, and there is also a reward." ”

Everyone hesitated, and finally six people stood up in fear, Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, it's not bad, there are actually six people who know how to strike iron.

After Li Zhongyi asked carefully, he was a little disappointed, among these people, only one person was a serious blacksmith who knew how to melt iron with charcoal.

The other five craftsmen only have a rough idea of how to polish arrowheads to make them sharp and stainless steel.

Li Zhongyi doesn't know who can do it and who can't, so he can only divide them into blacksmiths, carpenters, pasters, and grinders according to their respective skills.

The work of mold maker is related to iron, so Li Zhongyi included this work in the blacksmith class.

Since none of these craftsmen had received organized management training, Li Zhongyi pondered that instead of letting them command indiscriminately, it would be better to simply transfer a few of his entourage in and temporarily serve as the leaders of each craftsman class.

People like Li Xiaoqi and Li Xiaoba, who have been by Li Zhongyi's side for a long time, must have a deeper understanding of Li Zhongyi's intentions than others, and it is easier to communicate.

In this way, Li Zhongyi reorganized all the more than 200 craftsmen and organized them into a production team based on the assembly line.

In fact, Li Zhongyi was also forced to have no way out of the assembly line operation.

The craftsmen under him, the old and the young, if they continue to follow one person from the beginning of the process to the end of the process, let alone 50,000 arrows, even 10,000 arrows will not be produced.

Under the leadership of Li Xiaoqi and Li Xiaoba, Li Zhongyi's entourage, which is also the new team leader, counted the required manufacturing and spare tools one by one according to the head.

In the end, they still lacked at least ten hand-cranked stone grinders for sharpening arrow shafts, twenty small daggers for cutting arrow shafts, a lot of fish maw glue for gluing feathers to the tail of arrows, a small reserve of iron, and not a single candle for lighting.

Li Zhongyi looked at the darkening sky, it was too late to ask for these things today, so he could only go to Sun Daqing tomorrow.

Sharpening knives and not cutting firewood by mistake has always been the principle followed by Li Zhongyi, and the people's hearts are undecided and the responsibilities are unclear.

Even if Li Zhongyi asks everyone to start making arrows now, the effect may not be good, it is better to leave Li Xiaoqi and others tonight, accompany the craftsmen to cheer for the family, set up a set of almost, understand some basic personal and family situations, and then make a conclusion.

Li Zhongyi originally wanted to stay, but then he thought about it, when he was an official, the craftsmen were afraid that they would have scruples, but they didn't dare to say what was in their hearts, right?

If it was dark, the gate of Kaifeng would be closed, Li Zhongyi walked out of the gate of the arrow-making workshop, and saw Zhou Chong just going out from the other side.

"Gong Li, I haven't seen you all day, I miss you." Zhou Chong actually took the initiative to run in front of Li Zhongyi and greeted him warmly.

Li Zhongyi glanced at Zhou Chong and said with a smile: "Zhou Juan, what a big article you made?" (To be continued)
