Chapter 484

"As for that Liu Yiyi, although she was born in a lowly background, she is so knowledgeable, so that I am a pillar of the Great Song Dynasty and Wang Wushan, and the credit is not small......"

"What do you ......mean, grandmother?"

"This edict should be written, and it must be written well, it can't be too simple, let him Wang Wushan know that Your Majesty values and trusts him is ......" Gao Tao said slowly after pondering carefully.

"It's not just about giving marriage, it's about giving grace, the official family must not forget, this Yuan You's crossbow work, the court has not expressed anything."

Zhao Xu nodded vigorously and replied respectfully. "What the imperial grandmother said is that the grandson will definitely think about it, and he must not make a virtuous person like Wang Wushan feel cold."

"How is it, tested to this day, is there anything wrong with this steel crossbow?" After getting the promise of the Son of Heaven, Wang Yang, who was full of fighting spirit, returned to the office, and then found Bai Zhiling and Zhang Zhiling, and began to inquire about official affairs.

"There is no problem, there are now a total of fifteen steel crossbows trial-made, except for the first two, the newly trial-made steel crossbow crossbow arms have been re-cut, the weight has been reduced a lot, but the effect is still the same as before."

"And from the very beginning to today, the test launch of fifteen Yuanyou crossbows has exceeded 300 rounds, and there have been no problems with the test firing so far." Bai signed the order to be the first to report.

"If it is a divine arm crossbow, it is impossible to withstand such a high-intensity test firing, generally a divine arm crossbow, more than 100 rounds, it needs to stand for two days before it can be used again, otherwise, it is easy to make the crossbow arm have problems. Moreover, a divine arm crossbow can shoot up to 500 rounds, and after 500 rounds, there will often be problems, and the crossbow arm needs to be replaced......"

"And since the Yuanyou crossbow is a whole steel plate, there are no cracks or problems at all."

Wang Yang nodded, now the number of consecutive test shots has exceeded three hundred, and it is approaching the five hundred rounds of the Divine Arm Crossbow, and the metal will also have metal fatigue, but it is still far stronger than the wooden composite materials that need to be bonded together with a variety of composite materials.

Therefore, Wang Yang is full of firm confidence in the Yuan You crossbow with a steel crossbow arm.

"Continue to test firing, and then, five will continue to keep the test firing of 100 rounds per day, five of 50 rounds per day, and five of 30 rounds per day, and then see what the limit of these Yuanyu crossbows is. In addition, how many crossbow bodies and crossbow machines are available in the Crossbow Workshop Department......"

"Lord Hui, there are 100,000 rounds of crossbow machines, and there are 15,000 crossbow bodies......"

"Fifteen thousand......, well, there's still a composite crossbow arm left, right? The rest don't need to be assembled first, put it aside first, Bai signed the order, there is one thing the official wants to ask, there should be a lot of craftsmen in this crossbow workshop, right? ”

"My lord, the Crossbow Workshop is slightly larger than the Jiafang Department, and there are 13,893 craftsmen."

"It's not just a little bigger, I don't have more than 10,000 craftsmen in the Jiafang Department, and you're almost 14,000 here." Zhang Zhiling looked at Bai Zhiling with envy. "If I can have more manpower, the output of Yuan Youjia will ......."

Wang Yang smiled. "Zhang signed the order, and this official asked Bai to sign the order, just for this matter."

Bai Zhiling couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and after glancing at Zhang Zhiling, who was also stunned and surprised, he said to Wang Yangdao. "My lord, do you want to transfer people from my crossbow workshop?"

"Yes, I want to transfer a group of men from your side, didn't you tell me before that there are more than 5,000 people on your side who are engaged in the production of crossbow arms and bow arms, and there are also some craftsmen who specialize in casting crossbow machines?"

"You leave those who make bow arms, and then leave them from the most elite crossbow arm craftsmen, and also select a group from the craftsmen who pour the crossbow machine, and let them go to the Jiafang Department to see if they can directly use molten steel to cast the crossbow machine, after all, although the copper crossbow machine is strong and durable, and it is very resistant to rust, but its cost is not low, right?"

"That's right, a copper crossbow machine needs to consume about half a catty of copper, if it is replaced with steel......" Bai Zhiling's eyes suddenly lit up, this is really a way. Copper is definitely the most scarce monetary metal for the Great Song Dynasty.

Not only for currency, but also for warfare, such as crossbow machines, which are generally cast in bronze in order to pay attention to their robustness and corrosion resistance.

However, half a catty of copper is equivalent to five hundred yuan, and think about the steel crossbow arm, the cost of the entire crossbow arm is only three hundred yuan, if this crossbow machine can also be replaced with steel products, the cost of Yuan You's crossbow can be reduced a lot.

After hesitating for a long time, Bai Zhiling finally made up his mind. "You can transfer 1,000 people from the lacquer side, 1,500 people from the crossbow arm over there, and if you make the crossbow machine, you can only transfer 300 people at most, after all, there are not many original craftsmen on the crossbow machine."

"Nearly two thousand eight hundred people, well, enough for ......" Wang Yang nodded after smashing his mouth. Although none of these craftsmen have experience in armor making, they are all ingenious.

In addition, after adopting the assembly line operation method, they only need to go to the new position for half a day of internship, and they can be fully qualified for the new position.

"In that case, Zhang ordered you to arrange another production line here, and then transfer three hundred backbone elites from other production lines, one with ten, with the old and the new, so that they can be familiar with the business in the shortest possible time."

"In addition, this is the latest assembly operation method, coupled with the manpower provided by the White Office Order, the number of Nissan Yuan Yujia of our Jiafang Department can at least be upgraded to another level."

"Now my Great Song Dynasty is ready to send troops to the Western Xia Dynasty to fight the shame of Suide City, and if my Great Song Huben needs to be sharp, thanks to the efforts of the two and many craftsmen, please also ask the two to help Wang at this juncture."

"Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best."

After the official office was busy, Wang Yang went to Su Dongpo's mansion non-stop to find Bachelor Su, and directly told Bachelor Su his thoughts very neatly.

"Since you went to find Your Majesty, you must also know that at the end of this month, you and I will leave Jingshi, is it too late for such a short time?" Su Dongpo couldn't help but stroke his long beard with some worry.

"I am in a hurry, and I ask the bachelor to help the boy. The boy has already asked His Majesty to give a decree to marry at that time, although the time is a little anxious......"

"With the grace of the Son of Heaven, in this way, it doesn't seem too abrupt, okay, the old man will run for you. You go back to the house and wait for the news, and come back tomorrow, remember to bring more wine......"

Hearing Su Dongpo's words, Wang Yang couldn't help but be overjoyed, with Su Dongpo's words from the old driver, there would hardly be any big twists and turns.
