Winters are getting colder and colder.

In the morning, there was even a light snowfall.

Pushing open the door, the cold air hit him, and Zhang Yue subconsciously tightened his clothes.

"Shizhong, the art of war exam paper has been reviewed...... Hu Jian walked to Zhang Yue's side and said softly: "The results are gratifying......

"The total score is 50, and those who exceed 40 points are almost 70 percent ......"

Zhang Yue listened, not surprised.

In the past few months in Xinfeng, Zhang Yue has not only built a powerful bureaucratic team.

He also brought his habits from his time in Nanling with him.

Libraries were built in the township offices of each township, and officials were allowed to borrow and transcribe them.

The library's collection naturally has Zhang Yue's 'masterpieces' such as "Thirteen Chapters of Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "On War".

And the questions of this art of war exam are also based on these two military books.

It's a sieve.

Screening talents is a secondary purpose, and the first purpose is to screen out those who do not agree with Zhang Yue and have the wrong temper.

The rest, naturally, are brainless fans.

So, the title is very simple......

Most of them are fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice questions.

As long as you have carefully read "The Thirteen Chapters of the Art of War" and "On War", they are basically casually forty points or even full marks.

"After the arithmetic and grammar exams, let's start the interview......" Zhang Yue instructed: "This time, only two tun chiefs, ten team leaders, and twenty chief ...... will be selected from among the officials."

"Thirty-two?" Hu Jian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling a little tricky.

"Well......" Zhang Yue nodded and said, "This is also helpless......

The security song is too popular.

Today, more than a dozen generals and even liehous, have submitted letters to Zhang Yue or paid homage in person, hinting that they want to leave a place for their children.

Then, even on the side of the Son of Heaven, he will also select generals from Qimenlang and Yulin Weili to come here.

Therefore, among the middle and senior officers, there are only thirty-two candidates left for Xinfeng.

This is already the limit of what Zhang Yue can do.

"Hu Junzheng can go to breathe, if he is really willing to serve the country, and he is loyal on the battlefield, he can choose to start from the army commander......" Zhang Yue said softly: "This official here, you can give a promise, after becoming an army, if you perform well, you can give priority to promotion......"

The Captain is the lowest officer in the army.

Even, just a high-ranking infantryman named an officer, but actually a soldier.

The power is pitiful.

is a military salary, and it is only thirty or fifty dollars more than an ordinary soldier.

Only when he got to the chief, he had a certain degree of autonomy, he could issue orders, he could command his subordinates.

In the Han army in the past, the commander of the army was always elected by the soldiers, and even the appointment link was omitted.

In other words, they are all temporary workers, and they are not staffed.

It's just called Wu Chief, and it's just nice to say.

Ordinary people are really not uncommon.

Especially these people who are taking the exam now, they probably don't look down on a small Wu Chang.

But there is no way.

A song, even if it is a field song, is too small.

But if you want to expand into the school captain's department, Xinfeng is not qualified.

Unless next year, when the surrounding three counties are fully mastered and become a test field of four counties, can they be qualified to go to the Son of Heaven and request the formation of a school captain department.

Hu Jian listened and nodded silently.

Zhang Yue looked in the direction of the palace outside the Taishang Emperor's temple, and suddenly said: "His Royal Highness is still negotiating with the Wusun envoy?" ”

"Returning to the waiter......" Hu Jian bowed his head and replied: "Since this morning, His Royal Highness summoned the envoy, he has been talking in secret, and it is said that they have had a very happy conversation......

"Oh......" Zhang Yue laughed and nodded.

Since Liu Jin presented the conditions negotiated between Zhang Yue and Wusun to the Son of Heaven in Chang'an the day before yesterday, the Son of Heaven quickly gave his approval and handed over the matter to Liu Jin and Zhang Yue to 'act cheaply'.

The crown prince Liu Ju even sent the most powerful minister around him to order Wang to come to Xinfeng to follow Liu Jin to deal with the matter.

King is not easy!

Zhang Yue had heard of this person.

It is said that he is a well-known official in Guanzhong, and he once served as the right wind supporter, and his political achievements are remarkable.

Due to the disaster of depression, he entered the sight of the prince, and then was recommended to the prince by his brother Wang Yi.

Once appointed, it immediately brought a new wind to the prince's department.

Especially after the Li Yu case, Wang rose rapidly, and now he is the right-hand man of the prince.

This person, who has been in the place for a long time, is a cadre who has been working for many years.

The style of doing things is known for being calm and down-to-earth.

This person's visit to Xinfeng is almost equivalent to telling Zhang Yue that the prince's attention to this matter has reached a certain level.

After thinking about it slightly, there was nothing to do now, so Zhang Yue took Hu Jian, called Sang Jun, and went to the workshop park to inspect.

First of all, I looked at the production of iron molds, everything was in order, and Zhang Yue was very satisfied.

Recently, relying on the production of iron molds, the sales of Xinfeng Industrial and Commercial Department have reached nearly 10 million.

That alone, the revenue generated, is enough to be exciting.

The workshops are working overtime.

The production of iron molds has led to the birth of many craftsmen who are skilled in cutting operations.

This is a very important technology accumulation and primitive precipitation.

Zhang Yue looked at it and was very satisfied.

But on the surface, he pretended to be displeased, which caused everyone to be uneasy.

When Sang Jun couldn't help but speak, Zhang Yue said: "If I want to do a good job, I must first sharpen my tools!" In the workshop, cutting and milling are all made by hand with files and stone grinding! This is not a good strategy, so I don't like it! ”

Then, a bounty was placed.

"Those who can make tools that can be cut and milled will be rewarded with 100 gold and levied as industrial and commercial officials!"

When everyone listened, they all paused.

In my heart, I naturally immediately got into my heart.

This is also the subtlety of Chinese-style politics.

The top is good, and the bottom is effective.

The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace!

In later generations, 4V has staged a lot of good shows.

A certain Green politician, after praising the banana peel dipped in soy sauce, a bunch of people followed suit, advocating what such a way to eat is authentic, environmentally friendly, and perfect.

In the feudal era, in order to shoot the sycophants of high-ranking officials and nobles, people up and down really used any method.

Not to mention, the equipment Zhang Yue said fell on the ears of those accompanying workshop owners, which was simply heavenly.

This kind of thing can not only meet the horse, but also make money.

Who doesn't care?

At that moment, someone immediately mentioned this matter to their own key projects.

Zhang Yue looked at the looks of everyone around him, and then didn't mention the matter again.

He knew he would soon see the results!

Because...... The original machine tool is actually not very technical.

It's just through a layer of window paper, and there is no obstacle after piercing.

It's really not good, Zhang Yue can also let Ding slow down and 'guide' one or two.

And mechanical manufacturing, as long as it starts, there is no turning back.

Especially in such a special environment of the workshop park, profit-seeking capital will go crazy to carry out technical competitions.

After watching the production of iron molds, Zhang Yue, accompanied by Ding Zhuan, came to the core of the workshop garden, the experimental site of the Shaofu workshop.

More than a month ago, Zhang Yue was here and saw the first hydraulic forging hammer in human history.

That hydraulic forging hammer is just an enlarged version of the water cone that is widely available in Guanzhong at present.

Relying on the accumulated water power, the forging hammer is driven, just like a seesaw for children to play with.

Gravity and gravity are used as a source of kinetic energy.

Even so, it still shocked the Wusun people at the time and left them dumbfounded.

But now......

If the Wusun people come here again, they will probably not be shocked.

but frightened!

Because, today's hydraulic forging hammer has developed to the second generation.

The first generation, which is only a verification machine, exists as a technical verification.

Therefore, the structure is simple and the technical content is very low.

After verifying that hydraulics can be a source of mechanical kinetic energy, providing power day and night.

Ding slowly led people and improved the hammer system.

The first is the replacement of the hammer head, which changed from a stone hammer to an iron hammer.

Then the power system was improved, from the original seesaw, which simply used water and gravity to do work, to a power system driven by several huge wooden impellers.

Finally, there is the addition of stone walls that limit the height of the hammer.

This makes the hammer can be hammered quickly, saving time and less waste.

However, this is only the second generation.

A more advanced forging hammer system is already being designed.

After reading it, Zhang Yue was very satisfied, and felt that his booklet was not given in vain!

It's going to be replaced by him to do this, not to mention that there is no time.

Even if there is, I'm afraid it's not so fast.

It is even more impossible, like Ding Zhuan, who can train a large number of skilled craftsmen Today, there are already hundreds of craftsmen in the Shaofu workshop who have learned to make similar forging hammer systems.

If it was Zhang Yue, it was likely that he had made it.

However, the people below are still black-eyed and don't know the details.

At the end of the day, he doesn't really understand technology.

All that can be done is to process and manufacture according to the backtracking drawings.

And without the ability to explain it in the popular language of the world, it is impossible to teach hand-in-hand like a master like Ding Huan, and even teach face-to-face by ear, and the guidance is insufficient.

"Ding Ling's ......" Zhang Yue called Ding Shu to his side, looked at him, and encouraged: "When the next generation of forging hammers comes out, this official will ask the Son of Heaven for the Ming Gong!" ”

"In the future, it is like waiting for Wu, and it is also possible!"

Wu Houyang is the idol of the Han craftsman, a figure like Lu Ban.

Because he is currently the only craftsman who relies on technology and is worshiped as a liehou!

Ding Shu heard this, but he bowed and said: "The lower officials don't dare to live alone, all of them are the work of teaching well in the service and the kindness of His Royal Highness......"

He knew very well that without this Zhang Shizhong, it would be impossible to be where he is today.

Not to mention, without this person's drawings, even the current forging hammer system, it will take him at least ten years to manufacture, not to mention the more complex and precise next generation.

Again......

He also doesn't want to be in the limelight......

Liehou?

Previously it could have been his target.

But now, he only wants to revive his father's school, and he doesn't care much about fame and fortune.

Zhang Yue looked at him and said softly: "The title of the princes, Ming Gong deserves it!" ”

As soon as the next generation of hydraulic hammers came out.

Then the hammer forging machinery of the Han family can reach the European level of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

Capable of producing plate armor and artillery!

Zhang Yue doesn't value this kind of thing very much.

Artillery, that's his goal!

Because, after his continuous experimentation and proportioning in space.

Nowadays, we have almost figured out the optimal gunpowder formula that can be configured manually under the technical conditions of the current era.

Not only did the problem of granular gunpowder be solved, but all the experimental data were recorded.

As long as the forging and processing technology is solved, the cannon can roar!

In fact, for now, the bronze cannon can also be played.

The pinnacle of bronze casting technology in the Qin Dynasty is still preserved.

At present, there is no problem in the manufacture of bronze cannons in the Han Dynasty.

After all, Qin Shi Huang could even play with the twelve golden figures.

The early simple artillery was also cast.

But the problem is that Zhang Yue doesn't want firearms to be born now.

That scares children, and there may be a risk of technology proliferation.

But if technology continues to advance......

If the level of firearms of the Napoleonic era is developed......

Send a cannon to Rome, Roman scholars and craftsmen, can you copy it?

I'm afraid, they don't even know how to process such artillery.

Not even the material on the gun door can be produced!

The absolute superiority of technology is enough to forge the best defense.

Just like the current hammer machine, when it develops to the next generation, invite a Hun to come here to see.

Can he read it?

If you understand it, can you make it when you go back?

That's the power of technical barriers.

Silent, shadowless, but stronger than the Great Wall.

…………

Out of the workshop garden, Zhang Yue's mood was very happy.

Even the entourage around him knew that Zhang Chiyou was very happy today.

"Why is the servant so happy?" Hu Jian couldn't help but ask.

"Happy for China!" Zhang Yue was very happy, so he couldn't help but say more: "Happy for my children and grandchildren!" ”

It was as if he had seen it someday in the future.

When the barbarians of the European continent, through unremitting efforts, finally broke the technological blockade of the evil Eastern Empire, built the first ironclad ship, and let it be launched.

The whole country rejoiced, and countless people burst into tears.

At this time, above their heads, hundreds of kilometers above the earth's orbit, a Han-made satellite suddenly activated its high-speed camera and captured this scene.

In the distance, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, a spacecraft happened to land on the surface of the moon, and an astronaut held a flag and planted it on the surface of the moon.

On earth, there is jubilation.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty rarely appeared on the screen and spoke to the whole country.

That night, all the subjects of the empire were paying attention to this important event.

So much so that the entire page of the news broadcast is occupied by it.

At the same time, the intelligence services of the empire got the pictures sent back from the satellite.

"Oh......"

"It's not easy......

"Finally able to produce the ironclad that the empire eliminated a hundred years ago......"

An intelligence officer looked at the satellite photos, teased, and then told a staff member next to him: "Inform Dahonglu that the ban on the relevant machinery can be lifted from Rome......"

"Grant the rest of the subject country, the application for arms purchase submitted to our lord Holy Son of Heaven thirty years ago, and sell the mothballed XX fleet to it!"

This scene, although it is only fantasy and longing.

But Zhang Yue really wants to make it a reality and make it a reality.

If so......

"There are no regrets about dying...... Zhang Yue said softly.
