"Oh, Xianxu quickly come and listen, the old man is very curious, what is the magic method to solve this stubborn disease?" Zhang Xian's father-in-law, as an old craftsman who has worked in the firearms battalion all his life, was aroused by his appetite, and he looked like a good student and asked his son-in-law.

"Lord Yuezhang, it's like this, Xiao Xu found that the Qin army's combat power in the past was the best in the world, and one of the most important reasons is that their weapons and equipment, such as bows and arrows, chariots, are strictly customized in accordance with the same standards and sizes, and the name of the craftsman is engraved on the weapons and equipment. Zhang Xian said.

"This matter is old and old, when the dynasty was changed, many advanced technologies collapsed with the Great Qin Dynasty and were buried in the ground, so according to Xianxu's opinion, how should we start?" Zhang Xianyuezhang asked.

"Lord Yuezhang, Xiao Xu thinks so, first of all, we have to use absolutely the same weights and measures tools, and the tools we use, the accuracy should be better than the current weights and measures tools of the Great Song Dynasty, for example, our current ruler has 30 scales, when the craftsmen and masters use it, most of the moments and less than half a moment, and they can't be seen at all on the ruler, but the products made are not very wrong. If we draw another 10 millimeters on a scale, then the accuracy is greatly improved. ”

Zhang Xian looked at his father-in-law and continued:

"In the end, in the selection of standards, of course, we must use the craftsmanship of the best master as the standard, for example, Master Li is good at making copper pipes, we have to record how high the heat needs to be for him to make a high-quality copper pipe? What color should the flame achieve? How much do you need to use carbon? How many impurities do you have to remove after the cooked copper melts? How long does it take to enter the mold, etc., from the selection of raw materials, to each step of processing and production, must be done in strict accordance with the standards that have been set, as long as there is an action, the standard does not meet, the whole must be scrapped from the new production, all the manufactured ordnance, must also be marked with the name of the master, in order to let the craftsman master not worry about the church apprentices, starve the master, all the masters who make their own craftsmanship into the standard, we will arrange their technical supervision, command the apprentices to make, The masters do the final quality check. Xiao Xu's idea is roughly like this, what do you think? ”

"Oh, Xianxu woke up the dreamer with a word, with such a standard, every piece of ordnance we make is made in accordance with the standards of the best craftsman master, the quality must not be said, the most important thing is that Xianxu let the craftsman master who participated in the formulation of the standard be responsible for checking the quality, and engrave the name of the craftsman master, which can not only prevent the apprentice from robbing the master's job, but also if there is a quality problem with the production, you can also find the responsible person, killing two birds with one stone, wonderful! Hahaha, Lao Ming'er will arrange it early in the morning, and I believe everyone should be very supportive. Zhang Xianyue's father-in-law said happily, and the ruined face seemed to be full of vitality.

"Well, what Lord Yuezhang said is exactly, although I told those craftsmen that the process should be continuously improved, and the quality of the ordnance manufactured can be continuously improved, as long as the quality of the ordnance manufactured by others' new production standards is higher, then we will adopt other people's new standards, and all craftsmen who establish a new standard will be rewarded with no less than three years' wages, the purpose is to hope that everyone can compete, and only with competition can there be motivation to improve production and manufacturing technology." Zhang Xian added.

"Hahahaha, so good, so good, Xianxu, it's a waste of talent for the old man to find out that you don't do business! Ah, it's wrong, it's wrong, how can a scholar be in business! Zhang Xian's father-in-law suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, in this era, Shinong businessmen, businessmen and businessmen are the lowest level of society, and his son-in-law is an official with a reputation for tribute, so he hurriedly accompanies him.

"Lord Yuezhang doesn't have to blame himself, in fact, Xiao Xu attaches great importance to business, and Lord Yue will understand that now, Xiao Xu has a very important matter that needs to be consulted by Uncle Yue." Zhang Xian took over the topic and said, Zhang Xian, as a person who crossed, the importance of business to business, how can the average person in the agrarian society understand, and later, Zhang Xian's business network not only spread all over the Great Song Dynasty, but also radiated overseas, and even as a strategic weapon, it became a sharp weapon to completely defeat the Tartars.

"Xianxu doesn't hurt to say it, as long as the old man knows, just ask."

"That's right, Xiao Xu wants to know, where does our fierce fire oil come from? According to the book, the fierce fire oil burned, the fire was fierce, why did Xiao Xu see the fierce fire oil today, it seems to be burning weakly, and the fire power is not violent, Xiao Xu is very puzzled? Zhang Xian is ready to vigorously develop the fire war in the future, but he cares very much about oil, and directly began to ask his father-in-law.

"What Xianxu said is that I have the best fierce fire oil in the original Song Dynasty, Yan and Gaonu counties, and the quality is high, but since the defeat of my Great Song Dynasty, the Tatars have occupied these lands and moved the capital to Lin'an, I bought firearms and the battalion is also looking for fierce fire oil everywhere, and later I heard that this Yangzhou Beicheng foothills, since ancient times, there has been fierce fire oil, and more than 1,000 catties of fierce fire oil can be collected every day, but the quality is not as good as the northern fierce fire oil, the combustion is weak, sometimes it will even extinguish itself, the military value is not large, and the burning smell is smoky, Even the common people are reluctant to use it to start a fire, and there is no way to do this! ”

Zhang Xian was taken aback after hearing this, and said:

"Isn't the mountain behind me buying the ancestral hall the foothills of Beicheng Mountain? Could it be that this fiery oil is so close to us? ”

"That's very close, otherwise where would the old man come from to go elsewhere to find fierce fire oil? But the quality of this fierce fire oil is really not good! After Zhang Xianyue's uncle finished speaking, he looked helpless.

"Lord Yuezhang don't have to worry, Xiaoxu has a way to solve the quality problem of fierce fire oil, according to Xiaoxu's method to make the fierce fire oil, the quality is dozens of times better than the quality of the fierce fire oil in the north, Yan, Gaonu County and other places, the burning is very violent, the water can not be extinguished, the fight does not extinguish, the fire will never stop if it does not burn clean, according to what the father-in-law said, the fierce fire oil produces thousands of catties per day, and the father-in-law will prepare five giant large iron pots, each pot is filled with 200 catties of fierce fire oil, and the fire outside is boiled to boil the fierce fire oil, but the pot should be strictly separated from the fire source, Sealed walls must be built. We put a strictly sealed cooked copper lid on the big iron pot, and use a copper tube as a guide tube on the lid, when the fire oil is boiled on high heat, there will be a large amount of fire oil vapor slowly flowing out and cooling along the copper pipe, and it will be collected to become the essence of the fire oil, and Xiao Xu named him gasoline. The gasoline burning fire is so fierce that your father-in-law can experience it for himself. In this way, Xiao Xu will draw a picture for you, and I believe that I will succeed in the near future, but this gasoline is very, very easy to catch fire, and we must absolutely pay attention to staying away from the source of fire. Zhang Xian told his father-in-law about the simple method of refining gasoline in later generations, and drew a few model drawings of refining gasoline to his father-in-law, Zhang Xian thought of the nineties in the future, the people in Shaanxi and other places used this method to refine gasoline, and a pot and stove can make a fortune, and now it is just the right to use.

"This, this, okay, old decay, let's go back and do it according to Xianxu's method!" Zhang Xianyue's father-in-law also had some drums in his heart, after all, this method is too unbelievable, but his son-in-law is definitely not the kind of child who laughs casually, and if he has any doubts, he must do it first.

Zhang Xian saw his father-in-law's uncertain expression, and knew what his father-in-law was worried about, so he said:

"Although my father-in-law can do it with confidence, this method is also what Xiao Xu learned in the book before, the truth is not known, if it fails, forget it, if it succeeds, my father-in-law must be very confidential, don't say that I told you it."

"Xianxu rest assured, the old man knows the stakes, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, sometimes it will cause trouble!" Zhang Xianyue's father-in-law is unequivocal, his son-in-law has the ability, and he is naturally very happy, of course, he must pay attention to protecting his son-in-law.

"Uncle Yue can think like this, Xiao Xu is very pleased, Xiao Xu can now tell Uncle Yue, the reason why the fierce fire oil tank you made before is not far away, one of the main reasons is that the fierce fire oil used before is crude oil, the crude oil is very viscous, and the oil quality is heavy, so, the injection distance is very short, now we have not only improved the fierce fire oil tank, if the method of gasoline is successfully refined, the gasoline will be clear like water, the viscosity is very low, the injection distance will be doubled, these things please Lord Yue hard work! If this militaristic weapon is successful, we will give it a new name, the Flame Gun! When the time comes, it will definitely be famous all over the world, and Lord Yuezhang, as the pioneer, will definitely go down in history! It's just that for now, it must be kept strictly confidential. Zhang Xian said with a serious face.

"Old decay will go down in history? Hehe, these old decays have never thought that they have always been regarded as inferior livelihoods in the arms battalion back then, and they are looked down upon, and they can't imagine that this person is old and old, and it is really useful in the eyes of Xianxu, but the old man knows that these are the credits given by Xianxu to the old man, if it weren't for the Xianxu's point, with the old man's brain, it would be impossible to have these whimsical ideas in his life! Now the old decay really believes that everything is inferior, only reading is high! Xianxu rested earlier, and the old man is now in a hurry to go back and refine the gasoline first, thinking about this, the old man is so excited that he can't sleep! After Zhang Xianyuezhang finished speaking, he got up and wanted to go back.

"Lord Yue, it's too late today, it's good for you to stay here, Ming'er and Nianxin will personally send you!" Zhang Xian saw that it was too late and worried about the safety of the elderly on the road.

"The old decay is in good health, these days to relocate the workshop, formulate the process standards that Xianxu said, continue to improve the fierce fire oil tank, and refine gasoline, this delay overnight will have to delay how long the progress ah, this is not good, the old decay still has to go back immediately, guarding my one acre and three points of land to rest assured! Xianxu should not persuade again. Zhang Xian's father-in-law insisted on leaving, but Zhang Xian had no choice but to call Nianxin, sent his father-in-law to the door together, took a few wild ginseng to his father-in-law, and then sent someone to drive his father-in-law back.

Nianxin looked at his father's distant carriage and horses, and Zhang Xian gently reached out and grabbed his shoulder, and said;

"Lady, what Xianggong is doing now, there are a lot of things, Lord Yuezhang should have reached the grade of enjoying Qingfu, but now there is really no way, what Xiangzhang is doing now is very important, and Lord Yuezhang must do it, Xianggong I can rest assured!"

"Xianggong, what the concubine is worried about is not that my father is hard, my father and I are both from poor families, and it is common for us to be still farming at the age of sixty or seventy, and the concubine is just worried about the safety of my father, and my father has been injured before."

"Lady relax, Xianggong has formulated very strict process standards and safety systems for her father-in-law, even if you and I go in in the future, if you don't learn the safety system, you are not allowed to step into the workshop."

Zhang Xian said softly, after all, Zhang Xian still owes some debt to the old father-in-law in his heart, but there is no way, crossing into this era, to cultivate a group of his own people, and finding that it is really not so easy, there is often a situation of being overstretched, in the past, there were Luo Tiantian and Zhang Fan behind him, and now they are sent on errands, and there is no one around him who can speak, perhaps, this is the labor pains that development must experience.
