Dahan first prince

Chapter 298 That, sorry ha...
"Young Mansion Cheng Chengyan, bow your head, and bring the Young Mansion with you, welcome your Majesty~"

When the imperial chariot drove to the western suburbs of Chang'an, the officials of Yangcheng Yantong Yingshaofu felt it in advance and waited for Liu Ying's arrival.

But somewhat to Yang Chengyan's surprise, after he led his subordinates to salute, Liu Ying only nodded with a sullen face, and rushed forward.

"Where are the Ling, Cheng, Fu, Shi, Jianzuo, Lushi, Dianshi, Zhanggu, etc. belonging to each of the various metallurgical supervisors?!"

The young emperor roared angrily, and dozens of figures with different expressions stood out from the crowd behind Yang Chengyan, and they bowed their hands to Liu Ying again.

"My lord..."

Before everyone could sing their greetings, Liu Ying walked forward with a sullen face, rubbing Yang Chengyan's shoulder, and walked straight to the temporary squad room not far away.

Just when everyone, including Shaofu Qing Yang Chengyan, was startled by Liu Ying's posture, Chuntuo, who was ordered to stay by Yang Chengyan's side, stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Please come back!" Yang Gong, take the ones that His Majesty just ordered, and accompany His Majesty around, in preparation for the answer..."

Hearing this, Yang Chengyan, who had recovered from his anxiety, was only taken aback for a moment, and then bowed his hands to Chuntuo in the same way to express his gratitude.

But soon, Yangcheng Yan's face once again showed a hint of hesitation.

"Uh······"

"Chun, Duke Chun?"

A greeting with a slightly weird expression caused Chuntuo to burst into a smile, he didn't care about Yang Chengyan's weird face at all, he just smiled lightly and repeatedly declined: "Don't dare, don't dare..."

"A slave is nothing more than a knife and a saw, and I really dare not call him 'gong' when I am a duke..."

Seeing this, Yang Chengyan hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Chuntuo again.

"Dare to ask Duke Yang."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Cautiously asked a word, seeing the smile on Chuntuo's face suddenly froze, Yang Chengyan hurriedly turned sideways again, and pointed to those officials from the Shaofu who were not mentioned behind him.

"Your Majesty summoned the officials and assistants of the Metallurgical Supervisors to answer, and the rest..."

As he said that, Yang Chengyan frowned a little, took out a small piece of gold horn from his sleeve without any trace, walked forward very naturally, stuffed it into Chuntuo's hand with a stiff smile.

The moment he saw that ray of golden light, a look of greed flashed across Chuntuo's eyes!
Smiling, he retracted the golden horn, and weighed the weight under his sleeves again, Chuntuo raised his head in embarrassment, looked at Yang Chengyan, and carefully leaned his upper body forward a little.

"Your Majesty is quite annoyed at today's court meeting..."

"Slave just say a word, in order to present to Duke Yang."

"—Arrow..."

Whispering his "pointing" to Yang Chengyan, Chuntuo straightened up with a smile, and sternly sternly.

"Your Majesty has a summoner, so go with Duke Yang."

"As for the rest, His Majesty has not called, nor has he said to leave~"

"—and wait here?"

Yin-Yang asked a long voice strangely, Chuntuo did not forget to covertly signal to Yang Chengyan's eyes, and then strode proudly towards Liu Ying's leaving direction.

But behind Chuntuo, listening to the abuse of "traitor" and "eggless thief" coming from his ears, Yang Chengyan couldn't help showing a relieved smile on the face of Shi Xing.

"The eunuch dares to accept money, it's nothing serious..."

Thinking of this, Yang Chengyan heaved a sigh of relief, signaled that those who were not counted would come later, and followed Chuntuo along with a group of supervisors from Zhuye.

Just walking, Yang Chengyan's face that had just relaxed was once again covered by a layer of melancholy.

"Arrow..."

·
After a while, more than [-] Shaofu officials, including Yang Chengyan, gathered in front of Liu Ying.

It's just that even after the ceremony, Liu Ying still didn't give the order to give the seat, but turned her head abruptly, Chaoyang Chengyan raised her head slightly.

"Where are the books of weapons, weapons, bows, feathers and arrows stored in the Shaofu?!"

Asked in a cold tone, Liu Ying seemed to be angered by something, and stared straight at Yang Chengyan.

Thanks to the Qin Shaofu decades ago, and the Han Dynasty court that almost completely followed the Qin court's political system, most of the central departments of the Han Dynasty today also continue the structure of the Qin Dynasty.

Among them, the Shaofu under the leadership of Yang Chengyan, an army craftsman of the Qin Dynasty, and the "Han Law" drafted by Prime Minister Xiao He himself were the hardest hit areas for "copying the Qin system".

——If the first emperor wins the government, or Qin Prime Minister Li Si is reborn, seeing the current Han Shaofu, he will definitely raise his index finger in astonishment, point to Yang Chengyan's nose and shout: This is clearly the Qin Shaofu!

In Hanshaofu, where everything is basically the same as Qinshaofu, what Liu Ying values ​​most and has the most practical significance is undoubtedly the production line of military and agricultural supplies inherited from Qinshaofu, and the "Wu Le Gong" name' system.

The name of Wule Gong, as the name suggests, is to engrave the name of the craftsman on the weapons and agricultural tools produced by each Shaofu. (The meaning here is: engraving)
Coupled with the independent production of parts, detachable and replaceable weapons, and agricultural tools that were carried forward in the Han Dynasty that almost completely inherited the Qin system since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the superiority of the Wule work name system was brought into full play. To the extreme.

Take this time, the main targets of Liu Ying's investigation, bows and crossbow arrow feathers, generally consist of three parts: arrowhead (arrowhead), arrow shaft, and arrow feather.

The three parts that make up an arrow will be engraved with the craftsman's name respectively.

——The craftsman who makes the arrow will engrave his name on the position where the arrow is connected to the arrow shaft; the maker of the arrow shaft will engrave it on the arrow body;

In addition, after these three parts are assembled into a complete arrow, the chief official in charge of reviewing the quality of the arrow also needs to engrave his name on the body of the arrow to show that he recognizes the arrow as a unique arrow. A finished product of acceptable quality.

Arrowhead, arrow shaft, arrow feather, and quality inspector, these are the names and official positions of four people, engraved on an arrow.

But things are not over yet.

——When this arrow officially passes the quality test and officially becomes an ordnance reserve, this arrow can even get its own product number!
for example.

If Liu Ying was interested in finding an arrow equipped by the Han army, she would definitely find the following information on the shaft.

——Blacksmith xx of Shaofu Palm Metallurgy Department casts arrowheads;
Arrow shafts made by Shaofu carpenter xx;
Shaofu craftsman xx made arrow feathers;
Produced by Shaofu Bingye Supervision Order;

Han xx year xx month, xxx number bow/crossbow bolt.

In this way, when there is a problem with the weapon ordnance, the producer of a single component can be directly held accountable.

If there is a problem with the arrow, just follow the signature on the arrow to find the maker of the defective arrow, and he should be held accountable and should be fined.

Of course, the basis of "Han inheriting the Qin system" is to turn back half a step in history based on the unkind judicial spirit of the Qin law.

Therefore, it is only something that will happen in Qin Shi to ask the maker of a certain part to be held accountable in the name of work.

In the Han Dynasty, it was more often that when a certain part had a problem, it would be returned to the maker of the part, repaired or remade, and a small punishment would be recorded, similar to verbal criticism.

Within a certain number of years, if the parts produced by a certain craftsman never have any problems, the craftsman can get rewards of different degrees, such as labor, money, and even promotion;
Conversely, if someone makes things that are always problematic, he may be severely criticized, and even be deprived of work, fined, or even dismissed from office.

In Qin's "Wu Le Gong Ming" system, the most valued and emphatically adopted by the Han Dynasty was the "Weapons and Ordnance Register" that Liu Ying just asked about.

To put it simply, for the Han Dynasty, the parts maker and ordnance supervisor part of the Wule work name system are still second;
What is really important is the unique product number on each weapon ordnance, as well as the 'product number roster' built by Shaofu.

According to the Wule Worker Name System currently implemented in the Han Dynasty, all weapons and ordnance produced by the government in the world will have their product numbers recorded in the book.

As large as heavy weapons such as bed crossbows and rhubarb crossbows, as small as a sword, a spear, and even a bow, feather and arrow, they will all be clearly recorded and their whereabouts indicated.

For example: the arrow numbered xxx on xx, xx, xx, was deposited somewhere on xx, xx, xx, and was transferred by someone on xx, xx, xx. In the hands of xx ①; for this call, the written official document of xx officials (above Qianshi) is the background of the case, and a certain person is the guarantee.

And such a 'dossier' dedicated to a certain weapon or ordnance will not come to an end until the end of its life, and will be sealed in Shiqu Pavilion in Weiyang Palace.

For example: on a certain day of a certain month, the arrow was shot by the wearer xx, and hit Hu Qi alone, Hu Qi escaped, and the whereabouts of the arrow were unknown;
Or: On a certain day of a certain month and year, the arrowhead and shaft of the arrow were assessed by the Shaofu as seriously damaged, and they were taken back to the Shaofu for destruction.The person who issued the destruction order: Shaofu Ling Yangchengyan/a certain prisoner in Shaofu; the supervisor of the destruction process: official XX······
In this way, with a Wule name and the method of creating an independent file for each weapon, the Han Dynasty can ensure that each weapon or ordnance will not flow into any place that should not flow through any means .

That's why Liu Ying reached out to Yang Chengyan for this 'Roster of Weapons and Ordnance' when she first arrived and her ass was still hot.

——With that roster, Liu Ying can see directly: where are the bows, feathers and arrows that should have been stored in Shaofu.

Obviously, as the helm of the Shaofu, Yang Chengyan already understood Liu Ying's intention with just one word from Liu Ying.

Seeing Yang Chengyan pondering for a while, and struggling for a moment, he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty..."

"The books of ordnance are all stored in the Shaofu Studio..."

"Send someone to fetch it!"

Unexpectedly, before Yang Chengyan could finish his sentence, Liu Ying slapped her thigh without hesitation, fully expressing her attitude.

——I must find out where the arrow feathers of Shaofu have gone!

At this point, Yang Chengyan knew that he could no longer hide it, so he had no choice but to let go of the only trace of luck, and bowed down with a depressed expression.

"Your Majesty..."

"After the Yingbo Rebellion last year, Shaofu originally had bows, feathers and arrows, totaling nearly 740 million."

"And Dai, Zhao, Yan, and His Majesty personally led the counter-insurgency army to turn around, and the Shaofu entered the old and had more than 500 million arrows."

"now······"

Speaking of this, Yang Chengyan's complexion only became more and more stiff, and there was a little apprehension in his eyes looking at Liu Ying.

"Currently, there are more than 200 million bows, feathers and arrows stored in the Shaofu, all of which have been dismantled; all the arrowheads have also been smelted..."

Hearing Yang Chengyan's words, Liu Ying finally let out a bit of sullen anger on her face, but she still let out a rough breath with lingering anger.

—That is to say!
——Dignified Shaofu, the arsenal in charge of the world's weapons and armaments, how could it be possible that there are only more than 100 million arrows? !

And when Yang Chengyan said this, everything made sense.

——The original more than 1000 million arrows have been disassembled into parts, and the arrows have been melted...
"Molten?!"

Realizing what Yang Chengyan said, Liu Ying's voice suddenly increased, and a murderous intent surged into Yang Chengyan's eyes!
Seeing Yang Chengyan being stared at by Liu Ying, he fell to his knees with a plop in fright!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

With a trembling voice, she let out a low cry full of prayers, which finally awakened Liu Ying's only sliver of reason. Her wide eyes still stared at Yang Chengyan viciously, as if she was looking at her father and enemy.

"Why?!!"

"The Shaofu would not want to say: All the bows, feathers and arrows that the Shaofu originally had are old and unusable, they must be melted down and recast?!!!!"

"Humph!!!"

With a cold snort in anger, Liu Ying flicked her sleeves again, and sat down heavily.

Although her gaze had moved away from Yang Chengyan's body, Liu Ying's thin-skinned and tender left hand was on the hilt of the Chixiao Sword at her waist in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Liu Ying's posture, Yang Chengyan no longer cared about keeping secrets and society, so he walked forward on his knees miserable, and said in a cryptic tone: "Your Majesty, yes, but you forgot?"

"three······"

"Three-edged arrowhead..."

With just this one word, the anger on Liu Ying's face suddenly froze, and she looked at Yang Chengyan, and she became a little embarrassed.

"That matter..."

"It's done?"

Seeing that Liu Ying's anger dissipated, Yang Chengyan nodded hurriedly, but he didn't care to wipe off the cold sweat from his forehead!
After figuring out the reason of 'Shaofu's arrow feather disappearing without reason', Liu Ying finally suppressed the anger on her face, but she just dodged her eyes, never daring to look at Yang Chengyan, who was kneeling on the ground with Qi Qiran.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Then what."

"Since it's done, take me to have a look."

Saying this in a stiff voice, Liu Ying stood up, took two steps forward, and turned her head awkwardly, looking at the officials and officials in the classroom.

"or······"

"All go together?"

　I remember that some readers asked before: The martial arts of the infantry use beheading as proof, what about the martial arts of the crossbow troops?
　　At that time, some readers suggested that crossbow holders would mark their arrows to prove that a dead enemy was shot by themselves.

　　However, under the Wule Gongming system that existed in both Qin and Han Dynasties, this problem is actually not complicated at all.

　　——Each arrow has its own number, so there is no need for crossbowmen to mark it by themselves.

　　When an enemy, such as the Huns, was shot to death by random arrows, the supervisory officer could determine the ownership of the head through two simple steps.

　　1. Where is the fatal wound of this enemy?
　　2. What is the serial number of the fatal arrow?

　　After figuring out these two points, and then checking who this arrow was equipped with before, you can clarify who should be credited with this head.

　　Of course, it is rare for an enemy to be shot to death by many arrows, and most of them are killed by three or two arrows.

　　It is also like when there are two or more fatal injuries on a person, these people can only discuss in private: the head will be given to you first, and the head will be given to me next time this happens.

　　Therefore, the statistical issue of martial arts of crossbowmen is actually not difficult to define, but the process is a little (million) more complicated.

　　But considering that this statistical method was formulated by the Qin Ting legalists who gathered all the coercants and pursued perfection in everything, it seems that everything has become reasonable...
