Chapter 791: Uncle Li Who Hasn't Gone Crazy Enough (Calling for a Monthly Pass)

Think about it, whether it is now, or in the future, who doesn't want their descendants to be both prosperous and filial...... That stinky reputation has now vanished, and has been replaced by countless words of praise and praise for me, an outstanding intellectual youth of the Tang Dynasty, an emerging great writer, a new academic leader, and a prodigal son.

The prodigal son does not change his money, this famous saying is indeed right when applied to this son. If it was the soul of the original Fang Erlengzi, you don't have to think about it, just throw it into the pit. Humming the tune of a pop song, I walked towards the big house in front of me, and my mother, my wife and concubine, and my children were waiting for me to go back and eat together.

During this period, Datang had begun to mine various valuable mineral deposits such as gold, silver, copper, iron and coal mines on a large scale in Liaodong and Wadao. The cement straight road originally built from Chang'an through Jinyang to Yingzhou and Liaozhou was finally completed after several years of joint efforts by tens of thousands of laborers, and a large number of minerals urgently needed for Datang were transported to Chang'an like flowing water. Datang's monthly iron ore production and pig iron production have reached an astonishing amount, and the supply of iron and copper from the Martial Arts Research Institute has finally been guaranteed, but at this time, I ordered that the number of mortars and artillery produced should remain unchanged, and the most important thing is to transform, transform the production tools and equipment of many current Martial Arts Research Institutes, and also study and produce some civilian and industrial facilities and equipment.

"My lord's words are very reasonable, and the lower officials think that now the materials of our Martial Arts Research Institute are very sufficient, and it is time to repair and transform some of the original old production tools, such as our water hammer, so far, there are only eight heavy water hammers, fifteen light water hammers, and most of the components are wooden, and they will be damaged almost every three or five days. Replacing parts and restarting them all took a lot of time, and we were often on tight deadlines. Zhong Hua was the first to stand up and express his full support for my speech.

"Moreover, these water hammers were made by craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry according to the drawings, and they were not made according to the standardization of our Martial Arts Research Institute at that time, so the time spent on repairing the damage of the components was indeed extremely long, like the day before yesterday, there was a water hammer that was stopped, and now the parts are still being made and debugged." Another official similarly stepped forward to express their thoughts.

------------------------------------------------ I nodded: "Well, yes, these officials know about it, and in addition, they just hope that everyone can brainstorm and create some new, more durable, and more convenient devices." For example, this thing in my hand, everyone should have seen it, I call it a screw, this is what I hired an old craftsman, it took three days to create, you know, such a gadget, if you can use more equipment to complete, I estimate that it can be shortened to half a cup of tea, and even half a cup of tea time is not needed. ”

"What about this official,That's what I have to think...... "I put the screws in my hand on the desk, this thing was made a few years ago, but it was too time-consuming, so there has been no large-scale production, but today, it has come to a very urgent development and the beginning of the required change, people, can not be bound by old ideas and old routines, to know how to innovate.

On my desk were small objects: screws, screw caps, steel pipes that had been screwed out, etc., and the steel wires and springs had been solved by the craftsmen of the Martial Arts Research Institute.

Uncle Li went to Mount Tai this time, and the vehicle he was riding in was installed on the chassis with this kind of spring, with this, Uncle Li could be as little bumpy as possible in the car, not only Uncle Li's vehicle, but also other court bigwigs, including my father's vehicle, were installed with this thing. Uncle Li and others were very praised.

And the various merchants who originally ran transportation on the cement straight, their carriages were also replaced with this kind of thing that can reduce the vibration for a fee, so that the Wuyan Institute added a small amount of money to Datang's finances, well, very small, a total of about three hundred and seventy-four yuan, however, this is the only money earned from the hands of the people since the establishment of the Datang Ministry of Industry.

The significance of this can be imagined. Uncle Li was also shocked a little at that time, but the old guy still took a reassuring attitude towards the affairs of the Martial Arts Research Institute, and still ignored it, as if the Martial Arts Research Institute and my family's private weapons company, but this is okay, I can also show my strength and play a piece of high-tech? Well, anyway, if the Martial Arts Research Institute is not high-tech, at least it is a milestone in the history of scientific and technological development.

"But if you can solve this thing, the old rules, three thousand! The official pays! You take it, but it also depends on whether you don't have the ability to do it. "I happily patted the table, a group of craftsmen below all had green eyes, three thousand guan, if it is in Liaodong or Wadao, it is enough to buy thousands of acres of fertile land, and it can definitely become a landlord-level figure. Who can not be impressed?

"Don't worry, Master Fang, we don't have any other skills, grinding these gadgets is absolutely good, give us three or two months, we can't fix it, we are willing to cut off our heads and send them to you." There was already a craftsman surnamed Anxious who jumped out and patted his chest and shouted. This guy from my department smiled: "What does this official want your head for?" That thing is not round when it is kicked as a ball, don't give me nonsense, so let's do it, you yourself, a group of five, each form a team, study these small things, and the material expenditure should be taken care of by the Martial Arts Research Institute, and it is done, it is the achievements of several of you, the so-called brainstorming is this truth, don't think about it alone, when the time comes, you will stare at others and take the money, then I can't blame you. ”

There was laughter and promises in the hall. "My lord, the Ministry of Industry has urged us again, saying that the output of our steel rulers and precision scales is too low, and we are required to increase the supply volume, because now all the projects of the Ministry of Industry have adopted the new standards. But we don't have enough manpower, and we can't meet their requirements at all. Another official stood up and complained to me.

"Oh, that's right." I touched my chin, now, the new standard unit of measurement set by the Martial Arts Research Institute has been officially and completely circulated, the length unit and the weight unit are both simple and very accurate, which makes the engineering personnel of the Ministry of Industry feel great convenience, and has begun to promote it nationwide, but the problem is that the current number of craftsmen in the Martial Arts Research Institute has exceeded the number of craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry in Chang'an, but because there are too many jobs on our side, Moreover, the focus is mainly on the military and weapons manufacturing industries, as well as on the improvement of Datang's various types of equipment.

------------------------------------------------ has not invested much in the civil and industrial sectors, which is why I am holding this meeting today. "Otherwise, I will communicate with the Ministry of Industry again, it really can't work, this official will ask His Majesty to play, let the Ministry of Industry in Chang'an, become a unit directly in charge of administration and planning, and overall management of the projects and personnel of the Ministry of Industry across the country, and all the workshops under him will be assigned to our Martial Arts Research Institute, one, we can help pass on the belt, so that those workshops also use the same production line as us, and also use the same management methods for unified planning and deployment, so as to maximize the ability of the craftsmen. What do you think? ”

When Zhong Hua heard my words, his eyebrows jumped with joy: "The adult's opinion is very good, and the lower officials think that this is a great thing, because now the workshops under the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty are less than three or four compared to the original, and they are all piecemeal. ”

Although this guy is not an official fan, who doesn't want his career to get bigger and bigger? Moreover, the Ministry of Industry is now focusing on the construction of various projects, and the question of whether the original crossbow workshop has been cancelled has been raised, but after we have received it, we can obtain a large number of skilled craftsmen, who can naturally do other things besides making crossbows.

At the beginning of April, Uncle Li sent back the news, he has successfully sealed Mount Tai, however, this old rascal is like a hound that lets go of the wind, and he wants to be happy when he goes out, and it seems that the flowers and plants in the wild are very fragrant, so that he is so intoxicated that he lingers, he decided to continue his tour of the east, and he wants to go to Shandong to patrol together, one comes, to appease the local people, after all, Shandong's ringing horses are famous, and Shandong has not been peaceful since the Sui Dynasty, so Uncle Li can still say that he is out of public intentions, But he didn't just want to go to Shandong.

The old guy led the troops and decided to go to Dengzhou to take a look at the majestic posture of the naval gunboats of the Tang Dynasty, and by the way, he went to express his condolences to these sailor soldiers who had made meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
