The royal city has always been a nine-part of its country (accounting for one-ninth of the total area of the capital), and it is located due south according to the Zhou rites; The front faces the back city, and the big city is in the middle of the city; The Chu people are still in the east, and the nobles mostly live in the southeast, on the other hand, the commoners naturally live in the west of the city, and the last thing left is the urban workshop area.

The last time Xiong Jing used his carriage and ballista was a private workshop in the Guiren District to the east, this time he was going to Zaofu, near the Water Gate in the north of the city, where the timber transported by water was piled up on the shore and sawed and dried before being sent to the workshop.

Shouying's shape system is long from north to south, narrow from east to west, and there are six kilometers of north and south converted into kilometers, although the actual mileage from the east gate of the royal city to the palace is about three kilometers, and it is walking in the Yingdu, but Cai Bao, who is responsible for protecting the prince, still does not dare to relax his vigilance, and he gathers the three pawns of the East Palace Palace to guard Xiongjing. The three pawns are the establishment of three chariots, there are three hundred people, the whole queue is one hundred people in the front, one hundred people in the back, and one hundred people in the middle, and each pawn has a four-horse bronze chariot in the center.

Xiong Jing's car was a four-wheeled carriage with bronze armor on the outside of the carriage, and a seven-foot-high qi flag hung on the wheel. It is the banner of the princes, painted on the dragon, one rises and one falls. Xiong Jing is only the prince and not the king of Chu, so there is no dragon on the flag, but a bell is hung at the end of the flag. Poetry Yun: 'Long Yang Yang, and Ling Yang Yang. There are partridges in the leather, and there is a scorching light in Hugh', and under the escort of three hundred armor soldiers, he went to the north of the city with Lingyangyang to build a mansion.

"The servants meet His Royal Highness." There was nothing to do all the way, and the car had just entered the house, and Shaoyan and the others who came from the shipyard had already knelt on the ground and waited, and they were also joined by the carpenter led by Gong Yin Dao and Gong Zhijian.

"Get up." With some curiosity, Xiong Jing looked around before letting the kneeling man get up. The mansion was cleaner than he thought. "Let's go check it out first."

Xiong Jing was about to go to the work shed, but Gong Yin Dao was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped him. "Your Highness, the house is messy, don't go in person."

On the way, Xiong Jing was worried that he would meet a chivalrous man like good and evil, or Huang Xie would simply turn around and kill himself and his father, and when he arrived at the place, his heart was completely relaxed. "Doctor Gongyin, why is this? How can you know the problem if you don't go to the scene in person, get out of the way. ”

“… Only. "Gong Yin Dao invited Xiong Jing to build a mansion with the meaning of identifying the original situation and shirking responsibility - it's not that the old minister doesn't work hard, it's really difficult for the craftsmen of the flowing water method to accept, so the people who pay homage to Xiong Jing outside are all engineers. The shipyard engineer is the abbreviation of the engineer, and the shipbuilding engineer is mostly an official. Xiong Jing insisted on entering the shed, but Gong Yin had no choice but to follow him closely.

The shed does not have high steps like the palace and the temple, and there is no hall and room, and the big wooden door walks in, and inside is a wide atrium. The courtyard is rectangular, the original things have been cleaned up, the ox power assembly line imitated from the shipyard has been basically installed, and some waterwheel parts are placed on each station, the blue-clothed craftsman knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head at all, but the cows pulling the conveyor belt barked a few times without politeness, which made people laugh.

The essence of the assembly line is that the conveyor belt advances at a certain speed, the workpiece is placed on the conveyor belt, and the workers can wait quietly. People who have never been in a factory will think that the assembly line is the key to assembly line production, but they do not know that the world's first assembly line, the total assets of the automobile assembly department of the Ford Highland Park plant are only 3,490 US dollars - that is, conveyor belts and transmission motors, and there is no technical content.

During the Warring States Period, there were no motors and steam engines, and Xiong Jing designed a cow-drawn production line based on the tragic experience of moving bricks in his early years. Everything else is secondary, and the uniform motion of the whole line is the most important. It is not difficult to do this, after determining the distance of the conveyor belt, the moving time can be stipulated, and then the leaky pot is timed, and the water leakage of a pot is finished (there was no hourglass in the Warring States period), and the ox must pull the conveyor belt around.

"Why don't you try?" Because many of the shipyards were not built, the production line turned several corners, the houses were large, and the conveyor belt was all the way through, so the speed had to be re-tested to determine what speed to run.

"Your Highness, there are not enough parts to try it out." Shaoyan is the person in charge, and when he saw Xiong Jing asking, he immediately went around to the front to reply.

"Why aren't there enough parts?" Xiong Jing asked again. At this time, Gong Yin Dao, Gong Zhijian, and a cadre of engineers looked bad.

"I would like to inform Your Highness: the craftsman of the utensil cannot make a name, so he does not make parts." The public lost the firm answer, and the problem was more serious than what he had just said.

"Parts can also be named." Xiong Jing looked at the few parts on the workstation and muttered.

"Your Highness, the parts are not finished vessels, and the name is useless. In vain and in vain, the craftsmen are not angry. "Gong Zhi Jian said again.

"What about weapons, how are weapons produced?" Xiong Jing was silent, he also hated the assembly line very much when he moved bricks.

"The shape of the ordnance tells the distribution of materials, and the craftsman makes his name alone." Gong Yin Dao saw that Xiong Jing was not angry, and finally replied with confidence. "The only exception is the blade of the arrow, but the blade of the arrow is all cast, not... Not with the method of running water. ”

"Let's look elsewhere." Xiong Jing didn't want to kill anyone, he just wanted to see if there was any other way to solve the problem, and it was not easy for workers in any era to fool.

A shed is connected to a shed, and there are ...... carpentry area, smelting area, casting area, and paint area. According to Gong Yin Dao, the income of craftsmen is better than that of commoners, second only to Jia people.

"Your Highness, this is the place where swords are forged." Gong Yindao pointed to the row of sheds in front of him.

Walking all the way, Xiong Jing's interest is undiminished, but unfortunately the people are small and the walking is not fast. "Where to forge swords? Cadre Mo Evil Sword? ”

"Exactly." Gong Yindao nodded, and he took a bronze sword presented by his subordinates: "The sword of my Chu country was first learned from the Ba people, so the Chu swords of the first martial king were all Ba-style swords, similar to willow leaves; After the fusion of Wu Yue's sword casting skills, there is a Chu-style sword, its sword body is long and sharp, the two edges are introverted, the stem (handle) has a double hoop, dignified and elegant, far better than the sword of all countries. ”

The production of ordnance is indeed made by craftsmen, and each casting shed is independent, and a master master commands more than a dozen apprentices to help. Xiong Jing's understanding of cold weapons is almost zero, and the last time he was hijacked, he knew that the sword styles of various countries are different, and now he heard that Gong Yin Dao talked about Chu-style swords, so he asked: "How is the sword of my Chu country compared to the Qin sword?" ”

"Qin Jian?" Gong Yin Dao was not surprised by this question, he said: "The Qin sword is narrow and long, its length is mostly more than three feet, and the sword stem (handle) is also long, which can be held with both hands, but the Qin sword is too long and easy to break. The sharpness of the sword is to stab and enter, to hit (cut) and break, and to strike without breaking. Qin Jian is long and narrow, and there are many side blows, and there are also broken ones for blows. ”

Among the nations, Qin Jian was the longest, worried that Xiong Jing would be confused by Qin Jian's outer length, Gong Yin Dao hurriedly said that Qin Jian's was not good, but Xiong Jing might not believe all his words. He has seen Qin Jian, in the Qinghan boat, Qin Jian and Zhao Jian hit each other a lot, if it is really like Gong Yin Dao said, 'There are many side blows, and there are also broken people for the sake of hitting', he will not be robbed.

"Why don't we use iron swords?" After looking at the Chu sword, which was only sixty or seventy centimeters, Xiong Jing asked.
