Chapter 64: Tools
The next morning, Li Yuanjia arrived at his Zhuangzi outside the east gate of Chang'an City.
I have to say that this Zhuangzi that was purchased by his mother Yuwen Zhaoyi and his uncle Yuwen Shi was really good, although the area is not very large, adding up to more than 1,000 acres of land, but it is very close to Chang'an City, and the land is quite fertile.
Of course, what satisfied Li Yuanjia the most was the river that crossed from the middle of the Zhuangzi.
This river not only allows Zhuangzi's land to be well irrigated, but the most important thing is that whether it is making paper, iron, glass, or wine, etc., it is inseparable from water. With the existence of this river, it can be said that Wang Pu saved them a lot of hardship.
And......
When Li Yuanjia stopped by the river and watched the crystal clear river flowing under his feet, it felt like returning to his childhood in his previous life. At that time, there was a river in front of his grandmother's house, and the water was very clear, and when he was a child, he often jumped into the river under the leadership of his uncle to play, but when he was in college, the river was never found again......
"King, everyone has arrived, and everything is ready."
Just when Li Yuanjia's thoughts flew to another world, Wang Pu's respectful voice came from behind him.
"Hmm."
Glancing at the river under his feet again, Li Yuanjia took back his scattered thoughts, turned his head to look at Wang Pu and Chen Mu behind him, and nodded: "Let's go, go and see!" ”
"Yes, my lord."
Chen Mu and Wang Pu are the two persons in charge of the Han Wangfu Dumping Workshop.
The former is the backbone of the "development" of the overturned car, and he is also the carpenter with the best technology and the most active brain in the entire Han Wangfu, and now he is the head of many carpenters. As for Wang Pu's words, of course, he is one of the most effective cadres under Li Yuanjia, if it weren't for the fact that the paper workshop has stabilized now, and no one can do it better than Wang Pu, he is really reluctant to transfer Wang Pu over.
It is precisely because of the existence of the two of them that Li Yuanjia is so relieved.
In just three or four months, Wang Pu had completed the grouping of carpenters and handymen, and built a huge dumping workshop; Chen Mu, on the other hand, took a few of his subordinates and taught a hundred carpenters how to make a dump - although each of them only learned one part, there is no doubt that it is really not easy for the carpenters in the Zhenguan period to learn how to make standard parts!
The carpenters of this era were accustomed to doing everything single-handedly.
For example, when Chen Mu built the tables and chairs, he never thought of asking other people to help, but polished them little by little according to the drawings drawn by the king. Therefore, when creating each part, they often rely on experience and feel, and then slowly adjust it in the process of production.
Therefore, the size of each piece is different.
But this time, under Li Yuanjia's rigid requirements, the length, width, thickness of wood, and shape of each part must be as small as possible.
This is too difficult for Chen Mu.
Because Li Yuanjia is not asking him to do it alone, but a hundred carpenters must do it!
Only by doing this can we make every part universal, and can a hundred carpenters work together to form an original version of the assembly line.
So after receiving the order, Chen Mu had to teach these carpenters how to use the ruler of the palace and recognize the numbers on it, and then he could teach them how to make each part! It would be fine if there were only a few people, but when the number reached a hundred, and all of them were fools with heads full of wood, Chen Mu really wanted to die......
Fortunately, in the end, Wang Pu found a few people to help, and he was barely a church.
And now that the factory building has been built and the craftsmen have also taught how to make parts, Wang Pu dared to send someone to inform the king. Li Yuanjia, who heard the news, was naturally surprised, and immediately decided to come to the outside of the city.
The efficiency of these two people surprised Li Yuanjia.
Because when he first taught Chen Mu, he took a lot of effort, and even Wang Pu was not easy, thinking that a hundred carpenters must be extremely difficult, so Li Yuanjia asked the emperor for a year. But what he didn't expect was that after Wang Pu and Chen Mu cooperated, it only took four months?
What an unexpected surprise!
As Wang Pu and the others came to the "workshop" of the dumping workshop, Li Yuanjia soon saw more than a dozen carpenters and a pile of wood. Seeing him come in, the dozen or so people immediately leaned down and shouted, "Join the king!" ”
These carpenters, all sent from the palace, naturally know how to salute when they see the prince, and even be able to do it in a uniform manner. If it was a folk "wild carpenter", I am afraid that it would have been a mess of panic at this time.
"Well, let's all get up."
His face was unmoved, Li Yuanjia didn't even wave his hand, he just nodded.
"King Xie!"
There was another neat response, and a dozen carpenters all stood up.
Li Yuanjia didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly gave Chen Mu a look: "Okay, let them start." ”
"Yes, King!"
After taking a deep breath, Chen Mu gave an order, and the seven carpenters immediately picked up the tools at hand and started the operation on the wood that had been prepared long ago.
Today, one day, they want to make a rollover in front of Li Yuanjia.
It's not that Li Yuanjia doesn't believe Chen Mu's report, but he wants to see with his own eyes whether the operation of these people is the same as he imagined. After all, as the master of the palace, he couldn't stay in the Zhuangzi outside the city for a long time, so he could only spend a few days to see with his own eyes whether these people had met his requirements.
The carpenters were in full swing, and Li Yuanjia was sitting on the prepared chair with the old god in the present.
It's actually quite boring to sit like this all the time, so after chatting with Wang Pu beside him for a few words, he simply focused on these craftsmen in front of him.
In fact, it is quite interesting to watch the craftsmen at work, especially these skilled craftsmen, who are full of a different kind of beauty when they work, which is quite interesting for Li Yuanjia.
Merely......
After looking at it for a while, Li Yuanjia suddenly frowned.
Wang Pu, who was always paying attention to him next to him, suddenly felt a sudden heart, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "King, is there something wrong?" ”
'Hmm......'
Tilting his head, a look of contemplation flashed in Li Yuanjia's eyes, and after a while, he said to Chen Mu: "Chen Mu, what is the name of the tool that person used?" ”
Glancing at what Li Yuanjia was referring to, Chen Mu hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "If you go back to the king, it is called a ��, and Pingmu uses it...... One can make the wood smoother, and if it's thicker, you can slowly thin it down. ”
“…… What about that piece? ”
"King, that's a saw, it's used to cut through wood."
“……”
Grinning like a toothache, Li Yuanjia rolled his eyelids and asked helplessly: "So, when you used to work as a carpenter in the house, you also used these things?" Alas......"
