Chengxin prepared the cart, and he naturally did the work of driving the car. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yan Ming also took a swallow knife and put it in the car. Although he doesn't know any martial arts, with the emperor's private visit, this matter still needs to be prepared. Meaning, it's also good.

In order to hide people's eyes, Yan Ming and Liu Che took a big car, left from the Weicheng Gate, and then went around half a circle outside, and then went directly to the Southwest Metallurgical Iron Village.

I just got on the pipeline, and I saw this group of people on the pipeline in front of me. There are not many of them, only three or five. Led by a big man, dressed in coarse cloth and wearing a hat in winter, he couldn't see his face clearly from a distance.

Walking up, Yan Ming saw clearly that the big man was Gongsun Ao. Needless to say, the few people who followed Gongsun Ao behind were all guards of Weiyang Palace.

Seeing Gongsun Ao, Yan Ming grinned. Since the last time he sent Wei Qing to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, he has never seen Gongsun Ao again.

When Gongsun Ao saw Yan Ming, there was a smile in his eyes, but he arched his hand and let Yan Ming's cart pass, and then they followed closely behind the cart.

"Your guard?" Yan Ming looked at Liu Che and smiled.

"I can't rely on you monkey who doesn't have the slightest bit of force." Liu Che said with a slight mockery.

"I told you not to be old and old, if it is known, I am afraid that assassins will follow." Yan Ming scared him and said.

"You have a point." Liu Che is very obedient. He believed that if the news of his Weifu visit leaked out, those princes of the Liu family who had the right to inherit the throne would definitely unceremoniously send dead soldiers to assassinate him.

"When we arrived at the Iron Village, we would stay for two or three days and build two sets of military crossbows." The military crossbow designed by Yan Ming is a purely later craft, and after firing, at close range, the strength, speed and accuracy are not worse than ordinary pistols.

The correction is that the military crossbow is equipped with a self-loading mechanical system by Yan Ming, which is very simple, but it can achieve the effect of automatically loading the crossbow arrow after firing.

This kind of crossbow, when used well, is better than the millet plus rifle during the Anti-Japanese War.

Smelting Iron Village is a familiar place for Yan Ming.

The entrance of Zhuangzi has been renovated. Because of the contribution to the creation of the swallow knife, the reputation of the iron smelting village was greatly shocked. Even the craftsmen inside are all proud.

As soon as Yan Ming drove into the range of the smelting village, he was stopped by the sergeants guarding the surroundings.

Jumping out of the car, Yan Ming laughed: "What, you don't know me?" ”

When the soldier who stopped saw Yan Ming, he immediately smiled and said, "Who should I be able to afford to sit in such a big and luxurious car, it turns out to be Yan Hou." ”

Yan Ming shook his head and smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, even I can't sit still." ”

While he was talking, Liu Che also got out of the car from behind.

The guards naturally didn't recognize Liu Che, but when they saw that it was Yan Ming who brought them, they naturally wouldn't intercept them.

Yan Ming took Liu Che and Chengxin into the iron-smelting village, and saw that the workers inside were in full swing striking and smelting iron. A scene of prosperity.

"Where's Da Lao Chen!" Yan Ming asked. Originally, Da Lao Chen and Lao Fan both let themselves be transferred to Hongyan Hall to study. But now during the winter vacation, the two guys naturally ran back. For them, the ironworks are their hearts.

"Yanhou, what kind of wind blew you here?" Elder Chen heard Yan Ming's greeting and ran out from behind. But halfway through the words, it was blocked.

He saw Liu Che.

Smelting Iron Village, Liu Che once came. Others may not have seen it clearly, but the last time Liu Che came, the elder Chen was next to Liu Che, and he really remembered it.

"This, this is, the emperor's ......" Elder Chen became a little stammered because of the accident.

Yan Ming preemptively smiled and said, "This is Liu Gongzi from Chang'an City, and he is my friend." ”

Although Da Lao Chen is a blacksmith, he is definitely not a stupid person. At this moment, he suddenly woke up, and said respectfully with his hand: "Hello Liu Gongzi!" ”

Liu Che nodded indifferently, obviously seeing a big scene. Da Lao Chen was even more convinced of his guess.

"Alright, don't be so polite. Take a look at these parts drawings and get people together to build them for me, at least two. Yan Ming threw the drawings of the silk book to Da Lao Chen.

Elder Chen took the drawings, looked at them carefully, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Master Hou, if this thing is created, it will be a more effective killing weapon than the Yan Knife!" ”

Yan Ming nodded, but secretly said in his heart: "What kind of killing weapon is this?" If I could get gunpowder, I would be able to invent a simple flintlock pistol. If I were given more time, after building a steam engine, many of the power would not need to be performed by humans, and then it would save money and work more. ”

"According to the method of building a manpower pile driver last time, let everyone build one part, and you see, how long it will take to build two sets." Yan Ming said.

The parts of a military crossbow are not complicated. Elder Chen looked at the drawings, pursed his lips and thought about it, and said, "If this thing is in a hurry, Master Hou can make two handles early tomorrow morning." ”

By looking at the picture, Da Lao Chen already knew that this military crossbow turned out to be a combo killing weapon. This kind of thing, given to a person who does not have martial arts, once he uses it, it is even more powerful than those who have martial arts.

"Then give you a day to build two parts and bring them to me to assemble." Yan Ming collected the assembly drawings, and gave the other parts drawings to Da Lao Chen, and asked him to be responsible for assigning tasks.

"What are we going to do the rest of the time?" For the first time, Liu Che didn't bother with the government, just like a child on summer vacation, everything was fresh.

If it weren't for Yan Ming's control, I'm afraid he would have gone to the construction site of the smelting village to cause trouble.

"Sleep, and when Da Lao Chen finishes fighting the military crossbow tomorrow morning, we will go on the road to Princess Pingyang's fiefdom." Yan Ming lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Liu Che couldn't sleep, and he wanted to go out for a walk, but he was afraid that he would delay the blacksmiths to build parts. However, he was really curious about the assembly line operation that Yan Ming said.

In the end, curiosity prevailed. Liu Che walked out.

Today's blacksmith camp has been transformed by Yan Ming, which is completely different from before.

The Iron Smelting Village is now divided into three major pieces by Yan Ming. One is for ironmaking, and the other is for making various parts. There's also a place where it's assembled.

Such a well-planned division makes iron-smelting assembly easier. The only thing that isn't easy is this way.

All the parts are in the crowd, but everyone is responsible for the same kind of parts, and it is impossible to understand the usefulness of other parts.

Seeing this so-called assembly line operation, Liu Che felt very fresh and excited.

Over there, the elder Chen had already clamped a piece of iron, put it on his workstation, and let the manpower pile driver ping pong forging.

"This is the assembly line? If they can build a military crossbow, it's almost enough, don't ask too much. Liu Che said. Said self-comfortingly.
