In all matters, the account is the most important, and without the account, it is not only chaotic, but also doomed, so the Shang Yang Reform specifically mentions the 'Thirteen Numbers of a Strong Country'. Xiong Jing didn't know about the Warring States period or Shang Ying, and he attached great importance to accounts for a long time.

"Your Highness, the old minister doesn't know the new method of rewriting......" Ge was a little troubled. Starting from the thousand catties of gold rewarded by the king of Chu, Xiong Jing demanded that the following accounts must be re-recorded. The so-called double-entry accounting is the double-entry accounting method of later generations. Ge is an old man 2,000 years ago, and he can't understand what kind of loans, plus or minus, red letters, black letters, income and expenditure, even if Xiong Jing has repeatedly popularized science.

"Does anyone under you know about double-entry bookkeeping?" Xiong Jing didn't want to bully the old man, but he wanted the things around him to be used to and familiar to him, even if it took some effort and some cost. Double-entry bookkeeping was essential for business and navigation, and he didn't want his accounts to be messy and unsure of whether to make a profit or a loss.

"There are no such figures." Ge replied, "Then the old servant can ask the lady to ......."

"No need." As soon as Concubine Zhao Xiong Jing was mentioned, she immediately shook her head. Concubine Zhao wanted him to be the crown prince and ascend the throne as king in the future. He thinks it's not bad to be my Yuling Jun - he has privileges and fiefdoms, but he has no specific responsibilities, and he is basically the master who eats and waits for death. became the king of Chu, the Qin army was invincible and could not escape, and then the people who were tormented and tortured by the situation were not like people, ghosts were not like ghosts, what is the matter.

The most important thing to be a man is to be happy, such as three fat.

"I have other arrangements for the bookkeeper. Go down. Xiong Jing sent Ge away with a word.

"The craftsmen and old slaves of the slave market have all ordered them to make a utensil, thinking that they are assessed, please ask Your Highness to ......" Ge said another thing. The slave market spent 300 gold to buy back thirteen craftsmen, all of whom were carpenters. In order to test the skills of these people, Ge ordered them all to make an artifact to determine their rank. The shipyard is all dominated by Xiong Jing, so Ge asked Xiong Jing to personally test these carpenters.

"Okay." The things that were instructed to Ge on the carriage that day had been almost done, and there was no shortage of shipbuilding timber in the Chu country, which was full of forests, and the craftsmen also bought it, just to see how the craftsmanship of the ancients more than 2,000 years ago was.

According to the record of the examination, there are seven kinds of wood-tapping work, wheel, bow, lu, craftsman, car, and catalpa. Gemai had all kinds of carpentry, so Xiong Jing saw everything from wheels to frames, from crossbows to catalpa frames. Although Xiong Jing, the three carpentry knives, can't see too much Mingtang, the total score of the goods is higher. Among the thirteen artifacts, four wheels were placed in the center, and four dark-skinned craftsmen knelt behind them, daring to look only at the skin of the bear.

"Dare to tell Your Highness that it is better for all weapons to use these four wheels." Ge's subordinates bowed to the ground to report, and their eyes could only see Xiong Jing's skin.

"Get up." Xiong Jing doesn't like people to kneel very much. "Why aren't there boat-builders?" He asked a question.

"The craftsman who builds the boat is the engineer, and the engineer is ...... The slave city is gone. Ge next to him explained.

"Is that so?" The car and boat are all made of wood, but the structure of the boat and the process sequence of assembly have their own doorway, which is a technical secret. A boat is a thing that is dozens or hundreds of times more expensive than a car, and the boat builder should not say that there is none, even if there is, Xiong Jing may not be able to afford it.

"It's okay if you don't." Xiong Jing also has a general understanding of the style of the current boat. As he imagined, the boat building of the Chu State was to build the shell first and then build the bones, while he built the bones first and then the shells, and the process was diametrically opposite. "Is there a stakeout?" He asked again.

"What is a lofting?" Ge doesn't know anything about carpentry.

"It's the one who turns drawings into parts." Xiong Jing gave a modern answer, and Ge was confused. After asking, he gave up himself, and all that can be bought on the market are low-level craftsmen, engineers, workers, etc., and I am afraid that only big families and military workshops have them. "These four wheels look similar and are the same size, how can you tell the merits of them?" Looking at the four wheels in front of him and the four wheel-making craftsmen who were prostrating themselves on the ground behind the wheels, Xiong Jing was not very comfortable.

"Your Royal Highness is waiting for a young man, and the palace master has been cleared." Ge invited a master from the palace, and after saluting, he looked at all four wheels, and probably found nothing wrong, so he asked one wheel to be lifted. The wheel had no spokes, and just when Xiong Jing thought he was going to compare the size of two wheels, he put a wheel into the spokeless wheel. Xiong Jing immediately understood that he was looking at whether the wheel surface was even, and the wheel was still a circle in the final analysis, and if it was not round, it was not a good wheel.

"This round is also full of people." When I got to the fourth wheel, I finally found a problem - the wheel face was not round.

As soon as he said, 'Fu Qi Kuang,' one of the craftsmen who was prostrating on the ground raised his head, and then shook his head vigorously, and his body trembled.

"Go down." Rushing ahead of Ge, Xiong Jing let the person out.

"Only ...... Only. The craftsman was stunned for a moment before getting up, picking up the wheels and staggering out.

There were still three craftsmen left. Originally, Xiong Jing only wanted to see the skill level of these people, but who expected it to be like a life and death competition, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. The engineer continued to inspect the wheel, and he used a rope to lift the wheel up, probably to see the center of gravity of the wheel, which did not see any problem, and the center of gravity of the wheel was all in the hub. When this method did not work, he asked someone to bring in a jar of water, put the wheels flat into the water, and then lay a wooden stick on top of it, and finally ......

"This round is uneven." There was a problem with the second wheel, which floated unevenly in the water, one side high and the other low. Of course, this is very subtle, at least Xiong Jing does not see it.

"Go down." Xiong Jing said again, and another craftsman staggered out holding the wheel.

There are still two craftsmen and two wheels left, but there is no problem with these two wheels, whether the palace master uses corn to measure or weigh them with a scale. Xiong Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and Ge also breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's it called? Where's the people? After the palace master retreated, Xiong Jing began to ask.

"Villain...... Everyone in the villain is called for wheels, and Lu Guo ...... Ludi people. The craftsman on the left replied, sulking.

"Look up." Xiong Jing wanted to see what the shipyard engineers would look like in the future.

"Yui." Wheel Er is not young, with a bitter gourd face, and his eyes let go as soon as he touches Xiong Jing. Like all carpenters in the world, his hands are wider than ordinary people, the back of his hands are intertwined, the green tendons are protruding, and his back is hunched.

"How many years have you been a carpenter?" Xiong Jing asked again, and the wheel was no different from the craftsman he imagined.

"Back to ...... Childe, "Wheel Er doesn't know Xiong Jing's identity, so he is called Childe." "It's been thirty-two years since the villain tied his hair into the division."

"What about you? What is it called, and where are the people? Xiong Jing asked the one on the right again, this person felt younger.

"The villain Qi Geng, the Qi people." This carpenter is indeed young, only in his early thirties, dressed in kudzu clothes, and his eyes are bright.

"Your Qi?" There are names and surnames have origins, and most craftsmen take their positions as their surnames, and this person has a clan, which makes Xiong Jing strange.

"The villain has no clan." Qi Geng hurriedly said, "The villain's family is in Qi country, so he is called Qi Geng." ”

"That's right." Xiong Jing also felt that he could not have a clan, according to Ge, he sold himself by himself, unlike those people in Lun Er, who were sold by the master's family. "I want to see your usual tools."

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and you are a little curious about the woodworking tools of 2,000 years ago, Xiong Jing, a carpentry with three knives. The tools were soon presented: axes, catties, chisels, sharpenings, saws, adzes, cones, files, gravels, no ink fountains, only a rope of ink that might be used in place of the fountain, no planers or axes, and all bronze tools.

"Look at mine." Xiong Jing does not mean to look down on him in the slightest, the more simple the tools, the more superb the skills. For example, wood planer, he remembered that some old folk carpenters disdained to use wood planer, and they could cut a table for you with an axe alone.

The servant brought up the tools of the bear's thorn, which were all made of iron and exquisitely made, and there were some things that had never been seen before, such as ink fountains, wooden planers, and square rulers. Xiong Jing briefly introduced the use of these things, and said, "I know, you don't need these, but it is impossible for everyone to have your skill level. Therefore, in the future, the craftsmen in the factory will be equipped with these new tools, and you will have to teach them how to use them. ”

"Yui." I don't know if Xiong Jing guessed the central thought, Lun Er and Qi Geng bowed their heads and agreed.

"Alright. From now on, the carpenters in the factory will be led by the two of you. Wheel two is the elder, an engineer, fourth-class; Qi Geng is young and is an associate engineer. Fifth class. The rest are appointed according to their skill. Xiong Jing determined the position level of the two, and introduced the classification situation by the way: "The craftsmen in the field are divided into 16 grades, the chief engineer is the highest grade, and the apprentice is the lowest grade. During this period of factory construction, you will build this first, and the finished product will be produced next month at the latest, and it will be mass-produced in the summer and sold in season. ”

Xiong Jing took out a piece of brocade silk with a strange thing drawn on it in three views.

"Dare to ask Childe, what is this?" Qi Geng was bolder, he didn't know what it was for after reading it, so he asked.

"Waterwheel." Xiong Jing explained that this is what he uses to make money, and it can also train the skills of workers, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. "One end of the car is placed in the water, the other end is leaning against the ridge, turning the wooden wheels on both sides, and the living water comes from the source. This thing can be sold to farmers, and in times of drought, waterwheels can lift water from low places to high places, understand? ”

According to the name of later generations, this should be called a rollover, keel waterwheel, it is said to have been invented by Ma Jun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but in this era there was not even a waterwheel, and the only way to take water was orange - a simple Dongdong that used the principle of levers to take water.

The two still couldn't understand it, Xiong Jing couldn't understand whether they couldn't understand the three views, or couldn't understand the principle of the waterwheel taking water, so he had to say: "There is a runner in the car, and the runner drives the wooden chain, and the blade plate on the chain lifts water from low to high along the long groove in the car, understand?" ”

This time, I really got it. Lun Er nodded and thought about it, but Qi Geng's eyes were round, and he bowed to Xiong Jing and said, "Childe is really a genius!" ”
