Chapter 37 The Craftsman Division
Under the leadership of Meng Yi, Li Qing came to the Qin State Craftsman Division for the first time, which was the Qin State's department responsible for building ordnance.
The Qin army was extremely strict with the requirements for ordnance, but if any piece of ordnance failed to pass the inspection, the craftsman who made the ordnance would be severely punished, and in serious cases, he could be beheaded on the spot.
A thin old man looked at Li Qing brought by Meng Yi, with a curious look on his face, and said, "Master Meng, could this person be the new craftsman commander?" Mr. Li, who developed the saddle and stirrups? ”
Meng nodded and said, "Yes, this is Mr. Li Qing, Brother Li, this is the Shaofu Order of the Craftsman Division, Master Pang Rou." ”
When Li Qing heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Li Qing has seen Lord Shaofu Ling. ”
Pang Rou waved her hand and said with a smile: "Li Xiaoling is very polite, with Li Xiaoling's talent, my position as a young government commander will have to be virtuous sooner or later." ”
Pang Rou's words made Li Qing slightly embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer, but when Meng Yi saw this, he changed the topic and said: "Lord Pang Rou, I just brought Brother Li to recognize the road today, if Lord Pang Rou is busy, you can go by yourself." ”
Pang Rou nodded, turned to leave, looking at the back of Pang Rou leaving, Li Qing showed a wry smile on his face, and said, "It seems that they don't seem to welcome me." ”
Meng Yi chuckled and said, "It's just an old horseman, Brother Li doesn't have to worry about him." ”
Meng Yi took Li Qing to a bow and crossbow workshop, and looking at the busy craftsmen, Li Qing couldn't help but be in awe.
Here, Li Qing's surprised hairstyle The production process of the Qin Dynasty has already had the prototype of the assembly line operation in later generations.
The craftsmen have a clear division of labor, there are those who specialize in making crossbow arms, some who specialize in making crossbow arrows, some who specialize in making strings, and those who specialize in assembling, the whole workshop is messy but not messy, for the arrival of one or two people, the craftsmen just glanced at it casually, and then continued to be busy.
Li Qing stretched out his hand to pick up a made crossbow arrow, only to see that on the corner of the crossbow arrow, there were two small seals of the Qin State engraved on it, Li Qing could barely recognize it, this was the word Gong Jiu.
Meng Yi said: "This is the name left by the craftsman who made this batch of crossbow arrows, once there is a problem with this batch of crossbow arrows, the craftsman who made the crossbow arrows will be responsible, and in serious cases, they can be copied all over the house." ”
"Raiding all over the house?"
Li Qing frowned when he heard this, Qin law was strict, this was definitely not a good thing, especially for a newly unified empire.
Meng Yi didn't notice Li Qing's expression, and took Li Qing to continue to inspect the various workshops of the Craftsman Division.
Half a day has passed, Li Qing has some understanding of the Craftsman Division, the Craftsman Division can be said to be the cornerstone of the unification of the Qin State, if there is no sophisticated weapons provided by the Craftsman Division, the Qin army is strong, half of it is because of the special military merit system of the Qin State, and the other half, the Qin State is far superior to the weapons and armor of the other six countries.
The position of school order is considered the middle level of the craftsman department, but Li Qing's position of school order is only concurrent, in addition to the school order, Li Qing also has an official position of wine.
Li Qing originally thought that among his two official positions, the school order was the real job, and as for Jiuzheng, he was just a petty official who made wine, but under Meng Yi's explanation, Li Qing knew that the position of Jiuzheng was not as simple as Li Qing imagined.
Jiuzheng, subordinate to the Great Qin Fengchang, Fengchang is the head of the Great Qin Jiuqing, in charge of religious affairs such as sacrifices, divination, ghosts and gods, and his status is respected.
Daqin's winery is naturally many times more advanced than the simple small winery of the Zhang family, and the winemakers here are by no means comparable to Zhang Gu and others, they are all famous winemakers in the world.
Li Qing didn't stay in the winery for long, and after knowing the way, Meng Yi took Li Qing to prepare to return to Mengfu.
"Brother Li Qing, my brother can't stand you."
A burly middle-aged man stopped Meng Yi's car, and the man fell on one knee in the middle of the road with a shirtless and angry face, attracting many onlookers.
"Presumptuous."
When the guards of the Meng family saw that someone was blocking the way, they immediately shouted, and waved their horsewhips to whip towards the middle-aged man.
"Stop."
Li Qing had already seen the appearance of the middle-aged man at this time, it was Zhang San, although the Zhang family had a negative Li Qing, but seeing that the guards of the Meng family were about to beat Zhang San, Li Qing still couldn't help but stop.
Meng Yi waved his hand and called back the guards who were about to drive Zhang San away, then looked at Li Qing and said, "Brother Li, Meng Mou doesn't just ask about your private affairs, you handle it yourself, I'll go back to the house first." ”
Li Qing glanced at Meng Yi gratefully, Meng Yi left with the guards, and in a blink of an eye, only Zhang San, who was kneeling on the ground, and the surrounding onlookers were left.
"Well, get up."
Looking at Zhang San, who had been kneeling, Li Qing sighed and said to Zhang San.
Zhang San's face showed a deep look of guilt, and he said in a hoarse voice: "My Zhang family is ashamed of Brother Li, Zhang San is willing to die to atone for the Zhang family, I only hope that my brother will not be angry with the Zhang family." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang San suddenly pulled out a short dagger from his arms and stabbed it in his chest.
Seeing this, Li Qing was shocked, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed Zhang San's hand holding the dagger, and shook it hard, knocking the dagger in Zhang San's hand to the ground.
Zhang San begged: "Brother, don't you still refuse to let go of the Zhang family?" Unwilling to accept my apology? ”
Li Qing sighed and said: "Third brother, I know that you shouldn't know about the Zhang family sending people to attack and kill me and my eldest brother, it's just that Zhang Gu is dead, and my grievances with the Zhang family are over, third brother, you go back." ”
When Zhang San heard this, he was even more ashamed, and said: "Brother, Zhang San has the title of your third brother, but in the future, if he is sent, Zhang San will definitely go to the soup to fight the fire, and he will not give up." ”
Zhang San left, looking at Zhang San's back, Li Qing fell into deep thought.
What Li Qing didn't know was that while he was pondering, in the restaurant not far away, a gorgeously dressed man was looking at him curiously.
"This person has some meaning, he repays his grievances with virtue, he is a righteous person, Fang Bi, you go and invite him upstairs to talk."
A cold middle-aged man beside the man heard this, nodded, and then headed downstairs.
"Righteous man, please stay."
Li Qing was about to return to the Mongolian Mansion when he suddenly heard a cold voice from behind him.
Li Qing turned around and saw that he was stopped by a middle-aged man with a grim face, this person was eight feet tall, richly dressed, and had a long sword at his waist, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.
Li Qing frowned, and arched his hand: "This big brother, I don't know why I stopped me?" ”
The man said: "My son-in-law asked the righteous man to move to the restaurant for a while. ”
As he spoke, the man pointed to the restaurant next to him, and Li Qing looked towards the restaurant, just in time to see a man in white arching his hand at him.
