Chapter 765: June

"Lu Gong Secret Record" is not a secret book that records all kinds of war weapons, it also involves the distinction of ores, the creation of weapons and equipment, and even civilian equipment and water conservancy tools, etc., it is no exaggeration to say that it involves a wide range of fields. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is no wonder, after all, the "Lu Gong Secret Record" has always been revised, and the craftsmen of the Lu State have repaired and improved on the basis of their ancestors from time to time, or directly added new technical items, so that Zhao Hongrun saw the "Lu Gong Secret Record" genuinely, some of the bamboo books are old and decayed, and some are brand new.

However, what surprised Zhao Hongrun the most was because "Lu Gong's Secret Record" is not only a secret record - that is, a picture of useful utensils - what is more rare is the annotation, detailed explanation and indoctrination of countless craftsmen of Lu on those pictures.

Let's say, a sword.

The bronze sword is the prototype, and in one of the oldest articles, the precise standards and design intentions of this bronze sword are recorded in detail.

How many feet long, how many inches wide, how thick is the blade, and what standard is the best weight, next to the simple single sub-drawing, those old Lu craftsmen have already made accurate statistics, after all, the weapon also needs to consider the physical fitness of the user-Lu Guo's soldiers.

Then it is the improvement of this copper sword, why to enhance the firmness and toughness of this kind of copper sword, how many other mineral powders are mixed in the copper ore, what proportion is added, what temperature is controlled when the fire is built, how to deal with quenching and tempering, and so on.

So that often a whole volume of bamboo books, only a few design drawings, the rest are this kind of far more precious than gold and silver jewelry records, in the terminology of later generations, this is called design data, is the most important thing for improvement, research and development.

This is the "Forging Chapter", and in the "Mountain and Stone Chapter", the "Lu Gong Secret Record" records all the different kinds of ores found in the Lu Kingdom so far, and the tests that have been done on these different ores. Although the names are different, Zhao Hongrun found some important raw materials for refining steel alloys in his memory.

Of course, these records may still be imperfect, but I believe that compared with the rest of the Central Plains, Lu is undoubtedly at the forefront of technology.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is also the heritage, the heritage of the craftsmanship and technology researched by countless craftsmen in Lu Guoji, and the heritage that Wei State cannot catch up with and surpass in a short period of time even if there is Zhao Hongrun.

As for the "Artifact Chapter", it is even more incredible, the craftsmen of the Lu State actually faintly touched the threshold of some truths, and roughly understood the concepts of friction and gravity - although the nouns given by the craftsmen of the Lu State to this kind of truth did not match Zhao Hongrun's memory, and they could not understand the basis of the existence of these forces, so the rules that attributed these forces to the gods, or the truth between heaven and earth, that is, what should be the meaning.

These precious documents made Zhao Hongrun feel that the hard work and sacrifice of the Wei army in the past six months or so were really worth it, because with the current technical foundation of the Wei State and its own research, I really don't know that the Year of the Monkey can catch up with the level of the Lu State.

You must know that the technical level is not just to build a few catapults and improve a few repeaters, and a craftsman who does not understand the principles and only knows how to build according to the drawings can never become a real craftsman.

Therefore, the first order issued by Zhao Hongrun after returning to the Smelting Bureau was to translate the "Lu Gong Secret Record" as soon as possible, after all, the recorded text in the "Lu Gong Secret Record" has several new and old Lu characters alone, and occasionally there are some new and old Qi characters, and the craftsmen of Wei must first translate it into the small seal used by Wei today if they want to learn this knowledge.

It's quite a project.

But Zhao Hongrun had no intention of doing it for him.

In all fairness, according to his unforgettable memory, it was not a difficult task to memorize the old and new characters of the Qilu and Qi countries, and translate them into the small seals of the Wei State, but he did not do that.

Because he felt that the way of doing things like a certain prime minister of Shu in his memory would only make his subordinates lazy and unmotivated.

And the facts in my memory also prove that when the prime minister of Shu died with all his might, almost no one could replace the position of the old prime minister who could not get the corresponding training, so that the talents in the later period of Shu withered.

Zhao Hongrun naturally would not do such a thing.

Well, in fact, in the final analysis, a certain highness still wants to be lazy, after all, there are more than 20 carriages of "Lu Gong's Secret Record", when will he translate it alone?

Don't do anything, stay in the Smelting Bureau all day and night to translate "Lu Gong's Secret Record"?

If he does everything for him, then what do so many people in the Smelting Bureau do?

However, the officials and craftsmen of the Smelting Bureau did not know the sinister intentions of a certain His Royal Highness King Su, and they were overjoyed in translating the "Secret Records of the Duke of Lu".

It's no wonder, after all, it is rumored that "Lu Gong's Secret Record" is the treasure of Lu State, if it weren't for Zhao Hongrun's relationship, how could they, the craftsmen of Wei State, have the opportunity to get in touch with this kind of strange book.

Those officials and craftsmen who were nominated to join the translation team were overjoyed, while those who were not nominated were full of sorrow.

Even, after hearing about this incident, even the officials and craftsmen who built the ports in Bolangsha and Xiangfu Harbor were eager to trust the relationship, and tried to squeeze into the translation team, just to see such strange books as "Lu Gong's Secret Record".

On that day, Zhao Hongrun stayed in the Smelting Bureau for a while, because Wang Fu submitted a written proposal for the Governor's Office of the Smelting Governor.

On the basis of the suggestion of Wang Fu of the Bureau, Zhao Hongrun made a new plan for the current Smelting Bureau, no, to be exact, it should be the Governor of Smelting.

First of all, there is a governor, who is served by Cheng Wangfu, the former Bureau of Smelting and Manufacturing; There are two deputy directors, Chen Tang, the official in charge of the construction of Bolangshahe Port, and Cheng Lin, the official in charge of the expansion of Xiangfu Port.

Bit than the book and the waiter.

These two officials are both old people who have been in the Metallurgical Construction Department for more than ten years, and their qualifications and abilities are enough to hold this position, and Zhao Hongrun is very relieved of them.

Secondly, there are four divisions under the Governor of the Metallurgical Bureau, which are: the Construction Department which is responsible for large-scale construction, including the construction of two river ports in Bolangsha and Xiangfu Port, the Forging Department which develops and processes cast iron and fire bricks, the Procurement Department which is responsible for all kinds of raw materials required by the Metallurgical Bureau, and the Ordnance Department which is specially used to develop and build war weapons, including the construction of ships.

The above four divisions are respectively headed by the former director Xun Xin and the former secretary Lu Yu, Gu He, and Zheng Zhao.

As for the director, secretary and other positions under the post of director, Zhao Hongrun was too lazy to spend this god, and left it all to Wang Fu and others to appoint by themselves.

On the same day, after making a specific plan, Zhao Hongrun wrote the plan in written form, sent someone to hand it to the vertical arch hall, and asked his father to make a final decision.

Only half an hour later, a reply came from the vertical arch hall, and it was simply one word: accurate.

After receiving the reply, Zhao Hongrun made some arrangements for the situation of the Smelting Bureau, and left the General Administration around dusk.

At this time, the Smelting Bureau, no longer need Zhao Hongrun to visit every day, he only needs to do a few overall planning, the rest of the things, Wang Fu and others will do it according to the plan, after all, today's Smelting Bureau, is no longer the poor and white Smelting Bureau two years ago, it has already stood out in the 24 divisions of the imperial court, become a unique undertaker, research and development base, and is developing towards the Wei State Craft Center Base that Zhao Hongrun is looking forward to.

Leaving the Smelting Bureau, Zhao Hongrun went straight to the Ningxiang Palace in the palace, after all, he promised his mother Concubine Shen Shufei yesterday that he would have to eat in the Ningxiang Palace tonight.

After another day like this, Zhao Hongrun can finally take a break today, because he has roughly finished what he wants to do after returning to Daliang, and the rest will have to wait for the more than one million civilians of Chu State to arrive in the territory of Wei State.

I believe that there will be another busyness at that time.

It's a pity that although he has a little free time, Zhao Hongrun still didn't have the opportunity to take the girls to play outside the city after all, because from this day on, he fell into endless entertainment.

Yongwang Hongyu and Xiangwang Hongjing, these two royal brothers learned that he had won the battle and returned to Daliang, and they sent people to send valuable gifts, and invited Zhao Hongrun to the mansion for a banquet to wash the wind and dust for him.

Zhao Hongrun failed to resign in the end.

After all, he had a good relationship with the second king's brother Yongwang Hongyu in the past, and the other party specially set up a banquet for him to catch the wind, so why didn't he go?

Since he went to King Yong's reception banquet, the three kings' brother Xiangwang Hongjing is naturally not easy to fall, right? After all, although Zhao Hongrun and Xiangwang Hongjing have not had much contact in the past, they have maintained a good relationship anyway, not to mention that the other party is also well-intentioned, favoring one over the other, and rejecting the kindness of others, it will offend people.

However, what Zhao Hongrun didn't expect was that after Yongwang Hongyu and Xiangwang Hongjing, the big nobles in Daliang City began to contact him, some sent invitations to invite him to the banquet, and some simply brought gifts to Suwang's Mansion to visit, and Zhao Hongrun had the only time to waste, all of which were wasted on these entertainments.

Later, he learned that it was because he had not been married for a long time, so that the nobles in the city had a high degree of enthusiasm for the position of Princess Su.

Originally, Zhao Hongrun didn't want to deal with these people, but because of the advice of Zhao Laiyu, the third uncle of Anling, Zhao Hongrun finally decided to have a relationship with those nobles, after all, if he really stood on the opposite side of the aristocratic forces of Wei, even if it was him Zhao Hongrun, I am afraid that the end would not be much better than that of Qi Jiang's father Runanjun Xiong Hao.

After dealing with these people, Zhao Hongrun personally visited several elders and acquaintances, such as Cao Zhicao, the old man of the former Ministry of Works, who resigned and told the old man at home, Zhao Yuanyan, the second uncle who is now in charge of the Zongfu, and for another example, Meng Kui, the former servant of the Ministry of Works, who was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

And when Zhao Hongrun dealt with these social and interpersonal interactions, June also passed quietly.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized that he thought he would have more than ten days to be free, but in the end, he didn't even have a day of free time.

However, to his surprise, at the end of June, when the Ministry of War issued a list of post-war rewards, his father also gave him a just right reward.

Shangshui County was promoted from a county to a county. (To be continued.) )
