Chapter Seventy-Six: Three Flags
Zheng De looked at Hu Lian in front of him, and suddenly felt that he was a little overkill. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hu Lian, the word heavy, is a native of Shuyang County, Huai'an Prefecture, and a scholar in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi. He was appointed as the right attendant of the Nanjing Criminal Department, transferred to the two provinces of Fujian and Guangzhou, and was promoted to the rank of Judge and Political Division, and was promoted to the deputy governor of Zhejiang and Fujian coastal areas in Jinzhong......
He reviewed his information again in his mind, and after thinking about it, there was no way to do it, who let him be a jinshi this year, and he could only temporarily give full play to his expertise in weapon development.
"How are things going with the Ordnance Manufacturing Group, have you chosen the address?" Zheng De asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister has already chosen the addresses of the three major factories of the Ordnance Manufacturing Group in a quiet valley ten miles away from the outskirts of Beijing."
Zheng De frowned slightly when he heard this, feeling that he was still too close to the capital. According to the speed of urban expansion in the previous life, it is estimated that it will be within the capital again in less than ten years. Of course, the size of the ancient city was fixed long ago when the walls were first built, and it is almost impossible for them to change much. But if the Ming Dynasty continues to develop according to its own ideas, the capital will definitely break through the existing city wall at that time. So it's necessary to make a plan now, it's better than coming back later.
"It's still too close, these three factories must be built fifty miles away from Beijing, and a wall needs to be built outside the three factories."
Hu Lian really didn't understand why the emperor did this, it didn't seem necessary?
However, he still said with some concern, "Your Majesty, it is already very dangerous if the three major factory sites are chosen outside the city. If it is too far away from Beijing, in the event of a war, I am afraid that the three major factories will not be able to hold it at all. ”
"If the enemy army has already arrived at the capital division, do you think there is any difference between the three major factories in the city or outside the city?" Zheng De asked rhetorically.
Hu Lian was stunned when he heard this, and felt that what the emperor said did make some sense. If the enemy soldiers are coming to the city, the Ming Dynasty is estimated to have reached the verge of extinction, even if the weapon is good, what is the use?
"I understand."
"There is also an ordnance manufacturing group that will implement standardized assembly line production in the future, so the plant must be large enough to accommodate at least 1,000 workers to work together." Zheng De thought about it for a while, and then commanded.
"At least a thousand people working together? Oh my God, how big is this building? Hu Lian was so shocked when he heard this that he couldn't speak, "Your Majesty, will this be an encroachment on the regulations?" Besides, it seems that no craftsman can build such a large house. ”
"Where did I allow it to come from?" After coming to this world, Zheng De also became more and more aware of many taboo things, of course, compared to others, the emperor can naturally have no scruples.
In short, in this world, everything is based on the emperor's standard of clothing, food, housing and behavior, and no one can exceed this standard, otherwise it will be an act of transgression.
However, Zheng De naturally didn't care about this privilege, he glanced at Hu Lian, "Just because no one has built such a big factory doesn't mean that it can't be built, don't you know how to find a way?" ”
Seeing the emperor's tough attitude, Hu Lian knew that there was no possibility of refusal, so he could only helplessly follow this arduous task.
"That's right." Zheng De suddenly remembered something and asked with some suspicion, "Do you know what standardized assembly line production is?" ”
Hu Lian was stunned, he really didn't know what this meant. Subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, what is standardized assembly line production?" ”
"The so-called standardization is to disassemble all the parts of a thing and produce them according to a unified size, and then carry out production line operations and finally assemble them, do you understand?"
After listening to the emperor's explanation, Hu Lian became even more confused. Some of the terms are completely incomprehensible.
Looking at his increasingly confused eyes, Zheng De had no choice but to make an analogy, "For example, a spear is composed of three parts: the barrel, the head and the bringet, if a person makes a spear, he needs to master four processes, that is to say, he must learn to make the barrel, the head, the tassel and how to assemble it." The so-called standardized production is to disassemble the three parts of this long gun and hand them over to four people for production and assembly according to the unified standard size. One person is responsible for making the barrel of the gun, and the other two are responsible for making the head and the bridle respectively, and then hand it over to the last person to assemble it together, and these four people form a production flow. And everyone only needs to master one process, which also reduces the difficulty of production and greatly improves production efficiency. ”
Hu Lian suddenly realized when he heard this, and instantly understood what the emperor meant. For arsenals that need to produce weapons in large quantities, although one person can also make spears, the requirements for craftsmen are very high, and these four processes must be mastered. However, if the spear was divided into four processes and handed over to different people for production, the requirements for craftsmen were greatly reduced. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to make a spear, as long as you know how to make a spear head, a gun tassel, or any of the processes you can assemble. In this way, it greatly reduces the difficulty of making a long gun, and allows more people to participate in the production, which greatly improves the production efficiency of weapons.
By extension, isn't it possible to use this method for large-scale production of guns and artillery, which require higher manufacturing processes?
Hu Lian also admired the emperor so much, and I don't know how he came up with this method.
Zheng De glanced at him, and continued, "Of course, this is all in the future, but you can also try to implement it in the Second Bureau of Soldiers and Ordnance first, but the current priority is to build the three major factories first, understand?" ”
Hu Lian nodded, "Chen understands." ”
"And I came to you today to ask you to produce a few flags, one of which is the Yellow Dragon Flag with a red background, the Zhu Ming Flag with a yellow background, and the White Tiger Flag with a red background, among which the Yellow Dragon Flag with a red background ......" Zheng De explained the style and specifications of the flag to Hu Lian. However, since the style of the flag is relatively simple, it is not difficult to understand.
As for the use of these flags, it was after Zheng De went out of the palace last time to inspect the camp of the Beijing army, he looked at the scene of the flags covering the sun. I felt that these flags were too confusing, and there was no unified style and symbolic meaning, so I wanted to make a unified military flag. However, with the military flag and the national flag, there is no shortage of them, so I came up with the idea of making these three flags.
The yellow dragon flag on a red background, embroidered with a yellow five-clawed golden dragon in the middle of the red flag, is a symbol used by Zheng De to represent the royal family.
Zhu Ming flag on a yellow background, the yellow flag is embroidered with a block red "Ming" in the middle, which he is going to use as a national flag, representing the Zhu Ming regime.
Zhu Ming's regime?
Cough......
Now it seems that because of Zheng De's arrival, this Zhu Ming regime has become a little flawed.
However, although he is not exactly a member of the Zhu family, what he inherited is also the family business of the Zhu family, so it is reasonable.
The white tiger flag on a red background, the center of the red flag is embroidered with a mighty white tiger with teeth and claws. Because the white tiger is 28 in the west, its image tiger, located in the west, belongs to gold, the main killing, in ancient times it was generally used as a military flag.
"One yellow dragon flag with a red background, three Zhu Ming flags with a yellow background, and fourteen white tiger flags with a red background, we must make them for me as soon as possible." Zheng De finally commanded.
Hu Lian actually wanted to ask the emperor what these flags were used for, but he didn't ask half a sentence until he finally left. After all, the identity of the emperor is there, and no one can question him.
……
Dongchang, located in the north of Dong'anmen, is a yamen that everyone needs to carefully surround when they see it.
Even if Yan Song passed by this feared yamen every time, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart. However, this time, accompanied by Wang Yue, he came again in a different mood. I can't say whether it's nervousness, excitement or fear.
When the Dongchang Fanzi who came in and out of the door saw Wang Yue coming, he quickly knelt down and shouted "I have seen the factory master" one after another, which shows the latter's power and prestige in this yamen.
"Get up, come and see this Lord Yan Songyan, the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy." Wang Yue gave an order to everyone present.
After everyone present got up, they reluctantly shouted "adult" in the face of Yan Song, and they were weak. It is estimated that if it weren't for Wang Yue's orders, I am afraid that this person would be directly ignored by them, after all, a sesame petty official like the Hanlin Academy's Ji Shi really couldn't enter their sights.
Wang Yue shook his head helplessly when he saw this, after all, these fans of Dongchang are not as hypocritical as scholars, they are all "mothers with milk", if they are not their top bosses or people who are concerned with their own vital interests, they don't want to get their respect.
But if they knew that the person next to them was their future boss, they didn't know what their expressions would be.
He had no choice but to turn around and say to Yan Song, "Yan Shu often don't want to be surprised, they are all ignorant people." ”
"The father-in-law is too worried, how can the lower officials care about them."
Although Yan Song was also a little embarrassed, he also understood that he had not yet taken office after all, and the virtues of the fans of Dongchang were well known, so he naturally wouldn't care too much.
Wang Yue nodded and didn't say anything more. The first to step into the lobby of the East Factory for the two of them. Yan Song followed and stepped into it, and when he raised his eyes, he could see a large portrait of Yue Fei, reminding Dongchang Tiqi that there was no need to do anything in vain, and there was a memorial arch in front of the hall that was "Hundred Generations Liufang".
Yan Song looked at Yue Fei's portrait and thought about what the emperor had said to him before. I think that Emperor Taizong set up Dongchang in the hope that they could do things fairly, but unfortunately Dongchang completely deviated from this original intention in the actual handling of cases.
"I must take the East Factory well...... No, it was the atmosphere of the Ming State Security Bureau that reversed the atmosphere and restored the original purpose of Emperor Taizong's establishment, and lived up to the emperor's entrustment. Yan Song secretly swore.
However, he obviously still doesn't quite understand that it is almost impossible for the secret service to establish a positive image in front of everyone. This is due to the fact that it is determined by the nature of his function, and it cannot be changed by man.
It's like a poisonous snake that hides in the shadows, even if it never bites anyone. No one can guarantee that it will not bite for the rest of its life, and no one will not develop a visceral fear of it.
Standing in front of Yue Fei's portrait, Wang Yue read out the emperor's will. When everyone in the Dongchang factory was silent when they heard this, they secretly looked to the side to see what this young official who was almost ignored by them looked like.
Yan Song, who has long eyebrows and thin eyes and is quite handsome, does not have much deterrent power in their eyes. However, they didn't dare to really despise the former, after all, it was the emperor who appointed them as their top boss, which was enough to deter this group of "interests first" old fritters. Many people are even more annoyed by their rude at the door just now, and they can't regret it.
"Director Yan, say a few words."
After Wang Yue finished speaking, he didn't talk nonsense. Hand the decree to him and set aside.
Yan Song nodded, got up and looked back at the people in the East Factory, "Your Majesty ordered me to take charge of the East Factory, which is now the Daming National Security Bureau, which is mainly responsible for the safety of the Daming Jiangshan Society and Your Majesty." In order to be able to really do this, His Majesty has given me the right to kill and kill. So I hope you can cooperate with me well, otherwise I will blame the official for being ruthless! ”
Although what he said was not very imposing, as soon as the words "life and death were taken" came out, this group of old fritters with a lot of careful thoughts suddenly extinguished their plans, after all, no matter how much interest they had, they couldn't compare to their own lives.
"Now I would like to make a few requests, first, do not frame and extort court officials; Second, don't oppress and extort the people; Third, don't rely on your identity to run rampant in the market; Fourth, don't reveal your identity at will......"
When Yan Song finished his words, he glanced at the people present, "I hope you can all comply with the above requirements, if you can't do it, I will allow you to leave now." If you are willing to stay, you will be willing to abide by it by default, and if you violate my rules at that time, you will not care about the official turning his face. Now it's up to you to decide. ”
"Adult, the little ones are used to being free and loose, and they are not used to living this kind of life in a disciplined way, so please let the little ones go." After a long while, a fan of Dongchang gritted his teeth, stood up and knelt down and kowtowed.
Yan Song was not reluctant, and waved his hand, "Then you can go." ”
"The little one thanked the adult."
Hearing this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed gratefully and left.
Seeing that someone was taking the lead, naturally many people stood up, and Yan Song allowed them to leave.
After a long time, I saw that no one stood up again. Yan Song coughed lightly, "Then the official will announce the establishment of the Ming State Security Bureau and the main tasks......
With the issuance of orders one after another, the Daming State Security Bureau was also quietly established on this day.
Maybe at the beginning, there was no deterrence from the signboard of Dongchang, maybe it was because Yan Song was too strict under the management after he took office, or maybe it was because the Beijing division gradually lost the unscrupulous figure of Dongchang. In the first ten years of the Zhengde Dynasty, this government office was inconspicuous in the imperial court, and it was almost forgotten.
But when it really opened its fangs, it made all the civil and military officials of the entire court fall into a panic, and perhaps they will never forget this once inconspicuous yamen for the rest of their lives.
