Chapter 557: Unify weights and measures to create an industrial template

Qin Yun's words aroused everyone's interest, after all, whether it was Yue Guo or Great Xia, they had been suffering from the disaster of Fusang Haikou all these years.

In the past, everyone just turned a blind eye and closed one eye, of course, the main thing is that the power of the sea is really not good. Even the countries of the Eastern Counties can only huddle together to keep warm.

But now, the times have changed, Qiongzhou has ironclad ships, and guns that have changed the rules of the traditional battlefield, and what they once received will naturally be returned.

Repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness!

The ministers had even begun to discuss the details.

"The minister thinks that ten ships are not enough, at least one hundred and ten ships should come, and we should make dumplings!"

"Yes, dumplings!"

"Fuck these bitches."

"Little thief, the heart of the Central Plains will not die, Lord Wang, I might as well take advantage of the civil strife in Fusang to kill the past, anyway, now the morale of the sergeants is flourishing, and if you defeat Fusang, it will be me Qin Yue who has the final say on this sea in the future."

Chen Jin proposed.

Not to mention, Qin Yun was really a little moved, but at this time, Shen Wansan stood up and poured a basin of cold water.

"Fighting the military is the way to destroy the country. The top priority at the moment is to develop the people's livelihood, and to store troops and grain, especially the Ryukyu Islands, which still need to be developed. ”

Qin Yun bowed slightly: "Lord Shen, that's a good point, don't forget, Wu Guo only lost a battle, and the other party has the ability to launch the next attack at any time." And, ladies and gentlemen, our artillery shell production is no longer keeping up. You are fighting well on the front line, you are happy to bomb, but do you know the hardships of logistics? ”

The generals looked at each other.

Qin Yun looked at Lu Ban and Zhu Tieling: "The two masters, during this time, they only sleep for two or three hours a day, all supported by ginseng, and millions of soldiers and civilians in the Yue country are rushing to make weapons and ammunition for the front line day and night, and waste their daily livelihoods." ”

"So, it's time for us to recuperate!"

"If the order goes down, all the people of Vietnam will be exempt from tax for one year."

"Qiongzhou, Ryukyu is also tax-free for one year!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were stunned, it stands to reason that it is right to restore the people's livelihood, but it is directly exempt from national taxes, so where does the money of the imperial court come from?

Even Shen Wansan felt that this strategy was not advisable.

"Lord Wang, so tax-free, you can only sit and eat empty."

Qin Yun smiled: "Who said that?" Aren't we still having trade? Master Pei, please come in. ”

Everyone looked outside the tent, and the head of the Pei family, the first family in the Yue Kingdom, bowed in.

"Caomin, Pei Qianbao meets King Qin, His Royal Highness King Yue!"

Qin Yun waved his hand: "Pei Qianbao, this king has ordered you to be the director of the Department of Maritime Commerce of the Yue Kingdom, responsible for all the maritime trade of the Yue Kingdom, and in the future, whether it is the official or the people of the Yue Kingdom who want to do maritime business, they must report to you." ”

"Thank you for your grace!"

The ministers looked confused, when did a business secretary come out.

At this point, Qin Yun actually had a plan for a long time, since Yue Guo and Qiongzhou were located on the sea, they naturally had to take advantage of their advantages to build maritime trade.

Trade to prosper the country can also restrain Great Xia economically, and by now, Qin Yun and Great Xia have torn their faces. But no matter what, the people are innocent, and Qin Yun doesn't want to fight each other unless it is absolutely necessary.

The establishment of the Maritime Trade Division, firstly, can gather the trade capital of the people, and secondly, cut off the roots of the Great Xia family.

In fact, the sailors of the Great Xia court were weak, but the major families along the coast of Great Xia did not make much money in maritime trade.

Qin Yun has the courage to exempt taxes because he knows that with the prosperity of maritime trade, the little taxes in the local area are not enough to see, and of course, there is another reason, that is, to lay out the future maritime hegemony.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the future, the majority of the taxes of Qiongzhou and Yue will come from this maritime trade, and the ancestors of the Pei family have been running the sea for three generations and have rich experience, so this king specially appointed him to be fully responsible for this maritime trade. Of course, the caravan alone is definitely not enough, and this king decided to wait for the Qiongzhou to be repaired and incorporated into the escort team of the Maritime Trade Division. ”

"In the future, when the production of steel and other products increases, our maritime trade fleet will also be replaced by iron ships!"

"The prince is wise!"

Shen Wansan arched his hand.

The ministers also chimed in: "The prince is wise! ”

Qin Yun waved his hand: "Scattered Dynasty, Lu Ban, come to see you in the study of Cast Iron Ridge." ”

"No!"

……

In the study, Qin Yun took out a stack of drawings that were inches thick and handed them to Lu Ban and Zhu Tieling.

"There is an idea of industrial mother bed design, and you still need to do how to design it."

"This is the design diagram of the transformer, as well as the working principle of the copper hydrochloride battery, the two of them can study it carefully."

"This is a stamping machine, and the master caster can take a good look at it."

"And ......"

Lu Ban and Zhu Tieling glanced at each other, and the two of them showed a wry smile.

"Lord Wang, you are embarrassed old man!"

Cast Iron Ridge showed a difficult color.

Even Lu Ban, who has always been full of energy, frowned: "Lord Wang, these things are the same, and they require the old man to study them day and night for a long time." ”

Qin Yun was stunned and touched his nose embarrassedly, he was in a hurry, how could industrial development be achieved overnight!

"Two, this king is too anxious. In this way, things should not be too complicated, and there are actually two main problems that we need to solve at the moment. ”

The two listened with pricked ears.

"Lord Wang, please speak."

Qin Yundao: "First, after the large-scale production of weapons, it must no longer be built by hand using the old methods, so the quality cannot be guaranteed, so we must carry out modular upgrading." ”

"What is modularity?"

Cast Iron Ridge asked.

Qin Yun: "In the past, to build a gun, it may be that one person is responsible for the body of the gun, magazine, etc. from beginning to end, so that craftsmen need to master more weapons and equipment forging techniques, so the accuracy of the sniper rifle can only be guaranteed by Master Lu. ”

Lu Ban nodded: "Indeed, cultivating a qualified weapon forging master will waste time and strength!" ”

Qin Yun said: "Moreover, it is easy to leak secrets, although you have repeatedly purged many traitors, as long as you are human, you will have weaknesses, and enemies will often take advantage of these weaknesses to corrupt our craftsmen." ”

"We can't send someone to watch, to protect. Let them stay in the factory for the rest of their lives, and in the short term, they may not say anything, but what about the long run? ”

Cast Iron Ridge: "That's right, especially young people! But the big waves sweep the sand, without these silent years, how can you become a master, a craftsman? ”

Qin Yun said with a smile: "What we need is scale, and the divine craftsman naturally needs it, but it is impossible to expect everyone to become a master." ”

"The idea of this king is to disassemble all the processes and let the original skilled hands bring the newcomers. For example, the manufacture of a bolt rifle, the body, barrel, spring, firing pin, magazine, and even hook and belt can be mass-produced, and finally assembled. ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them lit up, but Lu Ban immediately objected: "The problem is that the size of different people is somewhat different. ”

Qin Yun said: "This is the problem with the bullet you mentioned earlier. Since there are differences, then we will solve them. For example, there is a gap between one foot of Yue Guo and one foot of Daxia. ”

"And the second step, what we need is to unify weights and measures, and turn the original imaginary numbers, imaginary weights, and imaginary lengths into real numbers."

"This step is crucial! The car is on the same track, the book is the same, and the ruler is the same, so that there is better room for development. ”

The eyes of the two lit up.

"Lord Wang, we understand, as long as we follow a unified measurement, there will be no difference."

"That's right, this is also the root cause of why the Qiongzhou has a problem for a while, and that problem. The more sophisticated and advanced things are, the more attention should be paid to small errors. ”

Qin Yun handed over a form.

"From now on, the length of Qin Yue will be expressed in meters, decimeters, and centimeters, and the time will also be calculated in hours, minutes, and seconds, and the weight will also be calculated in kilograms and grams."

Lu Ban said: "Okay, let's come up with a standard reference as soon as possible." ”

Qin Yun nodded: "This is not difficult, if you continue to implement it, it can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in the future, all measurement units must be subject to the official scale." ”

"After solving this problem, I will go to make molds and stamping machine tools, and I think the two of you will not find it difficult."

Lu Ban and Zhu Tieling glanced at each other and arched their hands: "The ministers will not disappoint the prince!" ”

Qin Yun smiled: "Okay! By the way, Master Casting, Wu Guo made a hot air balloon, and it seems that the other party has also attracted a lot of craftsmen. ”

Cast Iron Ridge said: "Cast God Villa has been in Wu Country for many years, and it has already spread out, so it is not surprising that some people are there. However, the prince can rest assured that the ministers will restrain their disciples. ”

Qin Yun: "Is it possible to pull people over?" You can rest assured of the treatment. ”

Cast Iron Ridge: "Old man give it a try!" ”

Lu Ban said: "Tiangong Pavilion also has some scattered inheritance in Great Xia, and the old man can also write a letter to call some old friends." ”

Qin Yun laughed and said, "Okay, two, the future of the Qin Kingdom, please!" ”

Qin Yun took a step back and arched his hand.

Lu Ban and Zhu Tieling's hearts warmed, Qin Yun and other kings actually treated them craftsmen so well, so what reason did they have not to work hard?

Scholars die for their confidants, and their lifelong wish is not to explore the secrets of the mechanism and catch up with the steps of their ancestors?

But judging from these days, they may have already surpassed the achievements of their ancestors.

Zhu Tieling's eyes moistened slightly: "Old minister, let's go write a letter!" ”

Lu Ban: "The old man will go too!" ”
