"My lord, what is the picture depicted?" Early the next morning, Shen Yue arrived at the gathering place of the craftsmen in Longshan.

In the same dilapidated dwelling, when the smoke should have risen, there was no smoke in the cooking.

Shen Yue didn't have the heart to be sad.

As long as the work starts, the artisans will have a source of income, and they no longer have to rely on the monthly money and grain of the imperial court that they don't know when they will arrive.

Chu Qingqi's home, a low thatched house with only three earthen walls, the light in the house was dim, standing at the door to explain his intentions, Chu Qingqi sent his youngest son Chu Xiong, who had not yet gone to sea, to find several other leaders, and saw that Shen Yue was reluctant to enter the house, so he ordered the lady who was already hunched back and had bad eyes to come out with a long wooden bench and sit in the courtyard outside with Shen Yue to talk about things.

Seeing Shen Yue's drawings, his brows furrowed.

Although he didn't know the things he painted, he had no problem making them according to the drawings, and he couldn't understand some of the strange marks on them.

"Old Chu, there are some things on the drawings that I need, do you think we can do it in the shipyard? This is not the work of the imperial court, everyone does it, and gives money and food by the day. Shen Yue didn't explain the things on the drawings first, but told Chu Qingqi that he had money to do this job.

Cash!

There is no deductible cash.

Chu Qingqi's brows furrowed even tighter.

"My lord, the craftsman of the guard is a craftsman who lives in the imperial court, we are military craftsmen, not civil craftsmen, and we are not allowed to take private work, once we are discovered......" Seeing Shen Yue's doubts, Chu Qingqi explained bitterly.

"I am in charge of the hundred households of the craftsman's household, is the work I arrange a private job?" Shen Yue said lightly. "You do it secretly, naturally it is private work, and the official arranges, even if there is something, I will bear it."

This old man is really pedantic.

People are dying of hunger, and they are still thinking about private and public work, and after doing public work, they have no money and food.

Chu Qingqi heard Shen Yue say that he had something to bear, so he didn't say more, pointed to the drawings and asked Shen Yue, "My lord, what does this mean?" ”

"The number in front is the size of the position between the two horizontal lines, such as this, the middle length is three feet and two inches......" Shen Yue knew that the drawings of this year were not standardized at all.

Many drawings, even only the outline and structure, do not have a standard for size, and it is completely up to the craftsman to grasp.

According to the drawing standards of later generations, not only three views were drawn, but also dimensions and tolerances were marked in various positions.

As for the other geometric tolerances, they are not marked, and they need to be familiar with the Ming craftsmen step by step.

"What do you mean by the two rows of small letters in parentheses?" Rao is Chu Qingqi is well-informed, but he can't figure it out.

"Tolerance, the top is the maximum size, and the bottom cannot be less than this size......" Shen Yue explained the tolerances marked on the drawing, and at the same time, he also explained what a three-dimensional drawing is, how to make a drawing, and how to look at the drawing.

In the Ming environment, if you want to make the manufacturing accuracy reach the era of Shen Yue, it is a fantasy, and it is not a problem within millimeters.

Arabic numerals have been introduced to the land of China along the Silk Road one or two hundred years ago, and there are chips used in China, but they have not yet been promoted, Shen Yue can only use capital numbers to mark on the drawings, thanks to the fact that the utensils he needs to manufacture are simple parts.

Otherwise, the drawings would not be enough for him to mark.

Daming craftsmen, who have been working for decades, understand the meaning everywhere when they hear it.

"With drawings like this, it's a clever way to make sure that every part is as consistent as possible! I don't know where this method comes from? "Chu Qingqi has a vision.

Shen Yue unceremoniously took this for himself.

Don't plagiarize, I'm sorry for the identity of the traversal, not to mention that it has not yet appeared in this world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his invention.

"Your Excellency is truly a man of God!" Listening to Shen Yue say that he was thinking about it himself, especially if these are manufactured, some parts that are easily damaged can be made, and if they are broken, they can be replaced directly, and they are full of praise.

To repair the battleships, each one has to be remade and repaired according to the actual situation.

"What, there's a problem?" Shen Yue looked at Chu Qingqi and still didn't have much reaction, a little puzzled.

"My lord, cutting rulers, measuring rulers, and building rulers are all different......," Chu Qingqi said, and Shen Yue understood.

Daming tailor ruler, one foot 34 cm, measuring ruler 32.6 cm, construction ruler only 32 cm.

Depending on the ruler used, the end result will naturally be different.

"Let's build, naturally use the construction ruler." Shen Yue said without hesitation, "Isn't Longshan using a construction ruler?" ”

"All three rulers are in use. Cutting rulers for sails, etc.; Ships and masts and other long objects are measured with a ground gauge; The ...... of construction rulers for the manufacture of small parts" Chu Qingchi's explanation made Shen Yue a little confused.

Didn't the Qin Dynasty already unify weights and measures?

History books are all lies?

Chu Qingqi's words show that the three rulers are mixed in the repair workshop. Many of the parts on the ship are very long.

It is estimated that this is also the reason why the productivity in feudal society is low and the construction is slow.

Without a unified standard, it is naturally impossible to achieve universal and interchangeable parts.

No wonder the repair workshops are staffed with a variety of craftsmen.

"In the future, we will all use a construction ruler. If the construction ruler is exceeded, the construction ruler will be used as the standard to formulate a new ruler......" Shen Yue sighed, and the weights and measures must be unified.

Chu Qingchi nodded, thinking about the drawings taken out by the hundred households in his heart.

At this time, several other masters came.

Not only a few craftsmen have come over, but also a lot of craftsmen.

These craftsmen were ragged, skinny, and sallow-faced.

"My lord, they heard that the lord is coming, come to meet the lord......" Yang Zheng saw Shen Yue looking at the many craftsmen who came over, and hurriedly explained.

Shen Yue, as the new Baihu, has not yet received the official seal of Guanhaiwei.

The purpose of the craftsman is to ask the hundred households for the money and grain owed by the imperial court.

"Now that everyone is here, it's just right. What I said earlier about borrowing money and food in advance is really ill-considered. Nowadays, everyone has a lot of work to do, and you can advance your salary in advance to solve your urgent needs. Shen Yue's mind moved, and his voice was not loud, but many people heard it.

Those who hear it will give word to those who have not heard.

"Your Excellency is wise! Wu should swear to follow the adults to the death! A tall man immediately bowed down, and shouted Shen Yue wisely.

The others did the same, bowing themselves to the ground, calling the great man wise, and swearing to follow him.

In other periods, just by virtue of these words, Shen Yue would have his head cut off by the imperial court.

Nowadays, the military attache of the guard deducts money and food to support his private soldiers. The warmakers could not fight, and the consumption was high, so they ended up in such a situation.

It's cheaper than Shen Yue.

Shen Yue sighed in his heart, the people of the Ming Dynasty are really easy to fool, and if you give some money and food, you can get their loyalty.

"Is there a crossbowsmith in the workshop?" Shen Yue asked.

"Yes, archers, crossbowmen, sir, do you need them?" Chu Qingqi asked Shen Yue.

"Let the archers and crossbowmen stay. The others dispersed first, and we discussed it, and the money and grain arrived this afternoon, and we started work tomorrow! Shen Yue nodded.
