In the battle of Liaocheng, Li Chengzong seized a lot, not to mention the gold and silver treasures, which made Li Chengzong most happy was to follow Yu Wenhua and the tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen of the Sui Dynasty and the Shaofu to the north, Ma Dan, these are priceless treasures, Li Chengzong just entered Liaocheng, he called the original Ministry of Industry Shangshu He Chou, and asked him to assist him in subduing these tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen.

said that this He Chou, but some said that this He Chou was a famous craftsman and architect in the history of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty. Li Chengzong had heard Yang Rong say before that there were three major craftsmen in the Great Sui that were comparable to Lu Ban, one was Li Chun who built the Zhaozhou Bridge, and the other was Yu Wenkai who supervised the construction of Luoyang City, and the one who can be compared with these two masters is this He Chou, according to Yang Rong, He Chou has been very smart and clever since he was a child, and when he was a teenager, he came to Chang'an with his uncle He Tozhi due to war.

When Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian was the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was called to join the army as a supplement, and at the same time was in charge of the detailed office. He Chou often read ancient maps extensively and learned many artifacts from the past. He also delved into new technologies and developed green porcelain, if it weren't for Li Chengzong, a shameless traveler, who plagiarized bone china, the green porcelain of He Chou was the real king's porcelain at this time.......

He Chou participated in the handling of the affairs of Queen Literature when Queen Dugu died, and won the trust of Emperor Wen because of his serious work, and later called He Chou to Emperor Wen before his death and said: "In the past, you did a good job of Empress Wen's funeral, and now I am dying, you also have to do a good job." ”

Then he summoned Yang Er, who was still the crown prince at the time, rubbed Yang Er's neck with his hand, and said: "He Chou, this person is very attentive in his work, I have entrusted him with the future, and you should discuss with him more when you act." It can be seen that Emperor Wen has great trust in He Chou!

After Yang Er ascended the throne, He Chou became one of Yang Er's more trusted ministers. In the eighth year of the Great Cause (612), when Yang Er set out to conquer Goryeo, the army encountered the Liaoshui blocking the road, and Yang Er ordered He Chou to build a bridge on the Liaoshui, and the pontoon bridge was built in two days. He also designed and manufactured the "Xingdian" and "Liuhe City", and overnight in the front line to form a large city with a surrounding eight miles and a height of ten thousand, with towers in the four corners and viewing towers on all sides. The next morning, when the Goguryeo people saw the city rising from the flat ground, they were very surprised and thought that it was a miracle to help the Sui army.

In addition to building bridges and cities for Yang Er during the campaign, He Chou also made prostitution for Yang Er in peacetime. Cart. Li Chengzong heard Yang Rong say that He Chou had worked hard to build a royal maiden car and dedicated it to his cheap old man Yang Er. Yang Er was very pleased, rewarded He Chou's daughter, and thanked him, and then talked about the car with his colleagues, boasting that his skills were unparalleled in the world.

But after hearing about it, he found He Chou and said to him with a sneer: "A car can only accommodate one person, it can't be counted as a good weapon, and the son of heaven lives in the maze building, and he thinks that he can't take a ride in the building, and he needs to walk everywhere. ”

He Chou was provoked by that person, silently returned home, conceived day and night, and after many days, he really built a turnaround car, which was dismantled several times before it was completed. After dedicating to Yang Er, he immediately tested, and once he was promoted, he could really go up and down, and he could go upstairs and enter the pavilion, such as walking on the ground. Yang Er also named the car any car, and He Chou was named "Doctor Zijin Guanglu".

After the Jiangdu mutiny, Yu Wenhua killed Yang Er and appointed He Chou as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Li Chengzong entered Liaocheng and killed Yu Wenhua and a family, He Chou followed Comrade Xiao Li again, and when he saw He Chou, Li Chengzong sighed a little, this master craftsman, after the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, can be described as rich in experience, but when Emperor Wen of Sui, he played a relatively large positive role, and when he arrived at Yang Er, he not only made a lot of positive utensils, but also made some *** to please Yang Er, what is really something to do with someone!

Li Chengzong has his own way of control, after he beat He Chou hard, he gave a big sweet date, that is, in his Han not only does not discriminate against these craftsmen, but has a privileged status and treatment, He Chou, as a representative of the craftsman, how can he not be grateful to Dade, with his assistance, tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen have followed the King of Han to Zichuan, the most important military industrial base of the Han State.

There is a reason why Li Chengzong put his military base in Zichuan, in this medieval era, the war is who has more iron, and Zichuan just has a Heiwang iron mine that can be mined in the open pit, and the Lingzi coal mine not far from the iron mine is also shallow buried, and the water volume of the Zihe River at this time is very abundant, so after Li Chengzong took Qingzhou, he immediately moved westward to seize Linzi, Zichuan and other places, and set up his military base here.

"Your Highness, we tried to build the blueprint of the musket you provided us, see if you are ......." He Chou, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the director of the Ordnance Bureau of the Han State, reported to Li Chengzong while showing his merits without a trace......

Li Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and immediately became happy again, "It's made??? Okay, I'm going to go to the shooting range and see what this shot looks like......."

To be able to come to the shooting range, Li Chengzong took the musket handed over by the attendant, hey, this is the high imitation brown bass I want, that's right, this musket is the imitation of the brown bass 1722 musket that has been with the British Navy for 150 years, Li Chengzong skillfully picked up the musket, stuffed it with lead bullets, rammed it with a whole strip, and then aimed at the target in front of him, pulled the trigger, and hit the target with a "bang............

"It's really a good gun......." Li Chengzong couldn't help but praise, and then said to He Chou and the craftsmen present, "You have done a good job, I will give you the corresponding rewards!" "He Chou and He craftsmen are happy, in the Han Kingdom, commendation means promotion and wealth, how can you not be happy?

However, after Li Chengzong checked a few guns and asked about the output, he frowned, these guns are very good, and they are very exquisitely made, but the problem is here, these guns are handicrafts carefully built by the masters of the Ordnance Bureau, not the military standard equipment that Li Chengzong wants, and even the versatility cannot be guaranteed, plus the output of one or two guns a month, how can it satisfy Li Chengzong's appetite?

Li Chengzong's mind is not whimsical, the lessons of the modern European powers are there, if the armament management system is not perfect, the weapons and equipment under the extensive system are completely Brownian in terms of their battlefield performance, Zhang Santuan is equipped with Zhu Lao 6 brand muskets, Li 4 regiments are equipped with Wang Lao 5 brand muskets, Wang Ma regiments are equipped with tentacle monster cards...

In short, this is not just a hidden problem, if you can't unify the form to the greatest extent, you can't unify the quality control standards, you can't unify the quality standards can not concentrate production, you can't concentrate on production, you can't concentrate on production, it's difficult to put the monitoring in place, and the quality control is not in place, it's easy to produce defective products, and defective products will ...... Hearing a 'bang' after pulling the trigger is of course the most normal outcome, but you definitely won't like 'bang!' Oops! Then see a thumb fly in front of your eyes (most likely your own!). And you have reason to believe that the bureaucrats in the military will ignore your disability compensation as much as they ignore the quality of their weapons.

You think it's a joke? Definitely not! During the English Civil War, some poorly crafted smoothbore guns killed shooters. An officer of the British Army once wrote, "We bury more fingers than corpses..."

And the only way to solve the problem is to introduce perfect quality control and unified processes (not instant noodles!). ）... The proper noun is said, that is, standardized production!

"It seems that we must learn from our ancestors!!" When Li Chengzong thought of this, he immediately remembered the documentary called "The Silent Army" he watched in his previous life, that's right, playing standardization, our Chinese talents are ancestors, "standardization, assembly line, hum ......"

Li Chengzong told He Chou and the craftsmen that these skilled craftsmen were very smart, and soon they made achievements, and basically qualified muskets began to equip the Han army in small batches, but because this kind of musket needs copper parts, but Huaxia is a place lacking in copper, so it will not be able to realize the whole army firearms for a while and a half, so Li Chengzong had no choice but to learn the big plate duck to make a set of seventh-century "Spanish phalanx...................

ps: The author of the fungus here nags a few words, some people may think that it is impossible to make a flintlock pistol in the seventh century, then the author fungus wants to say that this is a little underestimated our Chinese craftsmen, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Ban and Mozi These masters have a shocking wooden bird that can soar into the sky for three days without falling, there are such skilled craftsmen, plus the drawings provided by pig's feet, and the era when the brown bess was born in 1722, Great Britain did not carry out the industrial revolution, and the production of it was only a few handicraft workshops. Also, since it is crossing YY, not leading the opponent N generation, then crossing a yarn?
