After Xiong Jing finished speaking, the mighty palace armor immediately took Shaoyan and the dozen people away. The flogging is not a very heavy criminal law, but a bundle of wattle strips spanking, which is considered the lightest punishment of all - after the beating, you can't see it at all when you put on your pants. Gong Zhijian breathed a sigh of relief and felt sorry for the 1,300 waterwheels at the same time, "Your Highness, it is not easy to build more than 1,300 waterwheels, and it takes six days to complete more than 200 waterwheels a day. ”

"Who's going to change it?" Xiong Jing looked at him with a smile, very unhappy in his heart. The public loses and has to fight, but he is a doctor, and he can't be punished as a doctor.

......After more than two months of adjustment, the production line has stabilized. Or according to Xiong Jing's words, the production line has reached equilibrium. The so-called balance is people, tools, machines, and sites...... All input elements are optimal. It is not difficult to change more than 1,300 waterwheels, but the current situation is that there are no carpenters. If this is really done, not only the production line will be stopped, but also the lumberjacks in the mountains and forests, the ships transporting raw materials and finished products along the way, and the shops selling in the cities and towns will all have to stop, and the losses caused will not be as good as burning these defective products.

"And then... However, he ...... "Of course, Gongyijian is not like Xiong Jing, who has worked hard to move bricks in later generations, and he does not have the concept of an industrial chain from the mountains and forests to the shops in various cities and towns across the country, he just thinks it's a pity."

"I heard that there was a Wei man who wanted to come to Chu, but his car drove north. Then someone asked him, why are you going north to the state of Chu? He said, "My horse is good, it runs fast, and it can reach no matter how far it goes; Then someone persuaded him, your horse is good, but this is not the way to Chu; And he said, I have brought a lot of coils, and I have a good hand......

Xiong Jing turned to tell the story of the opposite direction, and the people around him listened quietly. After the story is finished, he continues: "The premise of doing anything is that the principle must be right, and at the same time, strive to get it right the first time." If you make a mistake and change it, you can be a person, but you can never do anything. ”

"Yui!" After this period of time, Xiong Jing's prestige has been established among the craftsmen and craftsmen who built the mansion, and no one will say no to his request now.

"Doing things is like rolling wood on the stage, and you must stabilize the rolling wood every time you go up, otherwise, all your previous efforts will be wasted, and you will either die or be injured. Climbing up the stairs is the various methods that everyone thinks of when building a waterwheel, whether it is faster, better, or more ......, all of which are caused by experience and thinking. However, if we do not turn these methods into norms and do not teach them to everyone, it is equivalent to rolling wood down the stairs and falling back to the same place.

In addition to standardization, the heart of ethics must not be slackened. Without a heart of integrity, as if there is nothing to be standardized, and in a trance, like throwing stones at the head of the city, and falling from the high platform, such people must not be employed. Speaking of this, Xiong Jing's heart was on fire again, and he turned his head and ordered: "Those who derelict their duties this time will be deprived of their posts and reduced their salaries, and punished as craftsmen, and they will not be promoted until they see their integrity." ”

"Yui." This time the yes were louder, and the shed was quieter. The punishment for being a craftsman is much heavier than the punishment of flogging.

One by one, the waterwheels were carried to the open space by the Donggong armor soldiers, and more than 1,300 of them were piled up into a small mountain, and with the order of the commander, dozens of torches were lit everywhere. Immediately the fire rose from the place where the fish oil had been poured, and the whole hill was ablaze in a few moments. At last, an old carpenter rushed straight into the fire with his apprentice, and grabbed a few waterwheels out of the fire, but the armor quickly stopped them, and then threw the waterwheel back into the fire.

The crowd cried and shouted, for the craftsman, the product was like his own child, and now the child was turned into ashes in front of his eyes, and no one could accept it. But the armor stood on the side of the fire, and they had no choice but to kneel and beg the equally helpless Gong Zhijian.

When the fire started, Xiong Jing was no longer in the woodwork area. 1,300 waterwheels are worth more than 60 gold, which is really not a small amount of money, but from the moment they become defective, this money has been wasted, and the burning is no more than a cremation. Of course, this is his logical reason, and the deeper is that he is annoyed that everyone does not strictly adhere to the norms - the axle is shorter by o.5 centimeters, not that no one has noticed, but that the discovery is not corrected, thinking that it will be useful. A country building a government actually has this kind of thought, and it is not far from bankruptcy.

"Why is that? It's on fire! Da Sima Nao came cunningly and was startled when he saw the fire rushing to the sky.

"Great Sima, this is... This is what His Highness has ordered us to burn. "It took two times for the builder to tell the truth.

"The fire is so big?" Nao slyly glanced at the fire scene suspiciously, it was true, the fire was burning in the clearing.

"Yes, yes." The engineer bowed his head and replied, "Your Highness is in the papermaking area, please come with me." ”

The papermaking area is a newly opened area of Xiongjing, which can be regarded as a prenatal test. According to his understanding of papermaking, papermaking should be soaked first, then alkali boiled, filtered and dried after pulping, and finally paper. Although the process is not entirely correct, as long as the alkali is boiled into pulp, paper can still be made. Now, in front of him was a stack of uneven thickness and size.

"His Royal Highness ......" is responsible for papermaking, in addition to a craftsman in charge of silk reeling, mainly a retainer from the palace, he takes his job as his surname, his name is soup, and he is good at making soup for the king. For him, making paper is no different from making soup, but he can't eat it.

"Why... Why ...... "This paper, not only is it sandwiched, but the thick part can almost be worn as clothes, and the thin part is translucent, but fortunately, there are not a few big holes like last time." "Why is it so uneven?"

"Your Highness, this is uncooked." He was a fat man, and he didn't know the meaning of paper yet. "If you cook it again, the hemp is all pulp, and it won't be like that anymore." After he finished speaking, he took out another piece of paper, "Your Highness, please see, this is the villain's right fish, and it hasn't dried yet." ”

The wet paper presented by the soup is indeed uniform in thickness, although the surface of the paper is not white, but it is exactly the same as the paper in Xiong Jing's memory.

"Goodness". He nodded in approval and asked, "How is the printing, it won't be blurry, right?" ”

"Your Highness, the Jade Mansion is still a good carving." He explained.

Papermaking can be made into paper as long as it is boiled in alkali, and making movable type does not mean that it can become movable type if there is lead. Although the lead character is called the lead character, it is actually not exactly lead, and there is antimony in it. Xiong Jing didn't know this, but even if he did, he couldn't find antimony, so the movable type was still a lead type without antimony. Lead is characterized by thermal expansion and cold contraction, and some of the printed characters are blurred and difficult to distinguish. The characteristic of antimony is heat shrinkage and cold expansion, which is just offset with lead, and the handwriting can be clear. Since the effect of lead characters is not good, you should try wooden characters.

"Haven't carved it yet?" The building of the house is the creation of the house, and the jade house is the jade house, completely different units.

"Yes. Your Highness. "Yufu said that it was grinding... Grind...... Mirror, Sima Fu is in a hurry. ”

"Yes. I know that. Xiong Jing nodded. The visual telegraph line barely built a line, but the telescopes were limited, and the crystals of the whole country were concentrated in Yufu, and then milled. The support of the visual telegraph network is the telescope, and the telegraph network currently plans to build five lines, Chuqin, Chuwei, Chuqi, Jiangdong, and Dongting, with a journey of more than 1,500 kilometers, and at least 100 telescopes are needed. In addition to the needs of the army for combat, passes, and city defense, the number may reach four or five hundred, which is enough for the Yufu to be busy for a year.

"Your Highness," Xiong Jing was thinking about the number of telescopes, and Nao Cunning rushed over. He shook his beard and said: "The summons is a major military matter, and Ling Yin has to say that the post station is owned by Ling Yin's mansion, and he refuses to give it to my Sima Mansion." ”

Dafu and Lingyinfu were completely separated, and there were constant incidents, and the post station was one of them. Xiong Jingqi said, "Teacher, does Ling Yin want to drive your subordinates out of the communication station?" ”

"Never." In fact, it was Nao Cunning who wanted to drive the people of Ling Yin's Mansion out of the communication station. "It's just that the secret text in the army is self-contained, how can it be mixed with the Ling Yin Mansion? In case of theft, what should I do if I misunderstand my military situation? ”

"That's true." The ciphertext is a codebook, even if it is just a series of numbers, and it is also dangerous to leak. Xiong Jing said: "Don't worry, teacher, the style of the communication station has been drafted, and the secret text in the army is foolproof." ”

The telegraph network was made by Xiong Jing, and he believed that he was foolproof and cunning. Thinking that the matter he was anxious about was actually solved by the student in a few words, he felt a little at a loss. Not wanting to embarrass the teacher too much, Xiong Jing proposed: "Since the teacher is here, please go and see Jutie together." ”

"No." Jutie is more important than the communication network and telescopes, since the matter of communication is worry-free, it is natural to go to see Jutie.

At the end of the Warring States Period, because the craftsmen of Wu Yue were still there, the iron-making skills of the Chu State were not completely behind the Six Kingdoms, but it was only a little worse than the Yan State. But in this era, smelting and looking at minerals. Yanguo iron ore, whether the iron ore comes from Yanshan or Liaodong, the quality is better than that of Chu. Because of the existence of Tonglu Mountain, most of the raw ore of Chu ironmaking comes from Daye, and Hanyang Iron Works has proved that Daye iron ore contains too much sulfur and phosphorus, so the quality of pig iron is not as good as that of Yanguo, and it is not as good as pig iron from Yuedi small iron ore.

The construction of the government is located in Yingdu, and it is really necessary to make large-scale iron, and it is not economical to place the iron factory here. According to Xiong Jing's knowledge of the consumption of iron-smelting coal, the iron plant must be placed next to the coal mine, and then the reservoir can be built to facilitate the hydraulic blowing and hydraulic forging, and finally there is the strategic consideration - the reservoir is difficult to build, if the Qin army attacks, it can't be blown up after more than ten years, right? The iron mill cannot be located in Yingdu, but the steelmaking plant can be located in Yingdu, and now the government is building a steelmaking plant.

The iron-smelting area is adjacent to the sheds, and the casting furnace produces smoke. Probably who passed the news, when Xiong Han and Nao were cunning, the iron official and the engineer were already waiting. Nao was cunning and anxious, he was not polite to these people, and walked into the shed quickly, only to find that there was nothing to see inside, and the iron-making furnace did not even have a fire, only black charcoal was seen.

"Great Sima: The iron furnace has not been completed, so the cremation iron has not been made." Tieguan is a doctor, a person from Wandi (Nanyang), and his family.

Seeing Ju Tie Nao's cunning, he was naturally disappointed, and he said, "So you won't see Ju Tie?" ”

"Definitely. There are still things that are tried in small furnaces. When Dr. Kong saw that Xiong Jing had entered the furnace accompanied by Ou Chou and the engineer, he smiled and asked him to fetch the pig iron for the trial.
