I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 441 It's Scary!

Ten years may seem like a long time, but it is actually very short!

Everything that Zhiyao worked hard for was very difficult at the beginning, but after the foundation was established, the development multiplied dramatically.

After they toured the west, they first went to "Handan" and then came to "Ye" city.

For the time being, Zhiyao can't interfere too much in the west, too little action is useless, and too much action is easy to chill Han's heart, once Han's heart is chilled, everything is possible.

Appeasing the Han family is what Zhiyao should do now.

So, there are too many legacy from the old class, and even the integrated family is too strong, and many things are more difficult to do.

"I will definitely not allow the situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties!"

What was the situation in the Northern and Southern Dynasties?The king's banner at the head of the city is changed frequently, and the powerful family will last forever.Even the emperor above his head was just an elected spokesperson. For example, Yang Jian was elected to represent Zhou, and Li Yuan behind him also had this situation. One can imagine how much those powerful families can influence the country.

If history has not been changed by Zhiyao, or Zhiyao has not changed much, how many families have been officials for generations from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period?Not to mention other families that are not famous enough, Zhang Liang's family is the "Fifth Prime Minister Han"!

"To change the situation where dragon begets dragon and phoenix begets phoenix, it's a bit like digging your own roots, but if you don't do that, it will do more harm to Yu Zhi!"

Zhiyao didn't have the extravagant hope of building a thousand-year empire. She did what she was supposed to do while she was alive. At most, she could educate her grandson about his generation, and then he would be able to jump out of the coffin in the future?

Therefore, it is very important to work out the "Fa Jing" and even write other works.

A country with one family and one surname cannot last forever, but culture and ideas can be passed on from generation to generation.

Because all kinds of schools of thought have not yet emerged, Zhiyao has come to an era that is almost like a cultural desert. It is not only Zhiyao's luck, but also the luck of most people?
At the very least, some of Zhiyao's ideas may not meet the needs of the times, but those ideas will prove their advanced nature one day.

Take the frequent gouging of eyes, nose cutting, cutting off hands, toes or arms, face tattooing, etc. before or after the reform of the Qin Empire. In fact, it is a need of the times, that is, to impose heavy punishments and heavy laws, and to pursue the rule of law. Can the concept be wrong?If the ideal is really wrong, what will it be like to pursue a society ruled by law after more than 2000 years.

Before that, Zhiyao went to "Father Huang" to do one thing. As a monarch, he gave lectures to nearly ten thousand people. He did not talk about other theories, but mainly used the "Fajing" to explain his views on governing the world.

It would of course seem abrupt if Zhiyao did this suddenly, but he started to carry out legal reforms within the Zhi clan during Zhao Yang's lifetime, and the most far-reaching impact was the disposal of slaves.

In the Zhi family, it is not impossible to turn over if you become a slave, and even if you are lucky enough to have offspring, you will be slaves for generations, and you can rely on hard work and obedience in exchange for freedom.This alone is different from other families.

It is not to say that other families will not return slaves to freedom. Relatives of slaves or the state will spend money to buy them back. This is the only way, and there are really no other types.

Meritorious service in exchange for freedom?Do you know the identities of Qi Linggong's four thugs?They were born and died for Duke Ling of Qi, made great military exploits, and they were still slaves until their death.

During the Jin Dynasty, Jin people were no strangers to "law".

After all, Jin State is a military-oriented country, and managing the country is almost done in the same way as managing the army.

When it was the turn of the original country to govern, most people didn't notice much change in the change of the country's name. If there were changes, it was progressing in a good direction.

The reason why most Jin people don’t feel that there has been a change is that we need to know how many people Zhishi had before he turned his family into a country. The highest proportion accounted for two-thirds of the population of Jin!
They have been following Zhiyao's system and management methods for a long time, so why do they feel that there are too many changes?

As for the Han family, Fox family, Zhong family and other families, they were unwilling to enforce the national law in their fiefdoms, so they dared not stand up to Zhiyao.

Compared with being expelled with the Wei family, they are more accepting of soft knives. After the threat from the princes is lifted, they will fight hard with the Zhi family.

Why not fight while the original country is threatened by the princes?The situation of the Han family is enough to explain everything. They understand the truth that "if the skin is not there, the hair will not be attached".

"There are more than [-] people in this city, all craftsmen?" It's not the first time Han Geng came to 'Ye' city, but he didn't dare to show too much peeping before.

Zhiyao said: "There are [-] people in the city, about [-] people in the city walls, and [-] people in the suburbs."

Standing in the distance of "Ye" city, you can see the black smoke rising slowly.This is not the smoke from cooking, but the smoke column from iron smelting workshops or other workshops, so that the air in the whole city is really bad.

Han Geng and the others were stunned.

In other words, there are nearly [-] craftsmen serving in the city of "Ye", right?

They suddenly understood why it took Zhishi less than a year to complete the armor design and complete the change of a full regiment.

Powerful families, they all have their own various workshops, and suddenly feel that their own workshops are nothing compared to those in "Ye" city.

Zhiyao is showing them around the armor production line.

The semi-open factory building does not look stuffy because of the ventilation on all sides. You can see many people standing on both sides of a large stone slab and hammering the rivets vigorously. The rows of nails are fixed and then sent to the next one. The place where the process is performed is then nailed and inspected by other craftsmen, and then sent to the next place.

Their ears were full of the sound of metal clashing, but they only felt envious. They even felt that they had a workshop of the same scale at home, even if they were deafened by the noise.

Hu You watched cart after cart being pulled by horses to load the gleaming nails in the baskets, and wondered how almost every nail of the same size was made, and how much manpower would be used.

How are nails made?They didn't know that Zhishi had already used hydraulic forging hammers three years ago, and even if they sent spies to spy on the workshops by the river system, they still couldn't figure out what the constantly spinning wheels in the water were for.

Zhiyao's willingness to show them around the city of "Ye" does not mean that everything will be displayed.

The Hydraulic Forging Hammer will not be displayed.

The molding process for making the arrowheads is also not shown.

In fact, there are many things that are too advanced for the current era, and I really can't just show them to others.

At first, Han Geng thought that Zhiyao was selling his own inventory to himself. After looking at some workshops in "Ye" city, and guessing the production speed, he realized that the craftsmen were working in full swing, and they were stepping up to manufacture the armaments they needed.

"There are nearly [-] craftsmen in the city of 'Ye' alone, and the Zhi clan has similar towns in 'Yin' and 'Lu clan'. How many craftsmen do they have?" Han Geng wondered just a little bit. A deep sense of powerlessness.

What you see in "Ye" city is either semi-finished products or parts, which are sent to be processed and turned into finished products.

Then, there must be a place to make semi-finished products and parts!
Even after visiting "Ye" city, people including Han Geng are still in a state of ignorance.

It took Zhiyao nearly 30 years to get a series of "supporting packages" to the current scale.

Take the manufacture of a piece of armor as an example, the smelting of metal, the forging of reheating during processing, the indispensable leather or cloth, and finally turning it into a finished product is actually a set of scientific systems.

There are quite a few families with a similar system. Except for the Zhi family, other families make a set of armor, which is usually completed from scratch by one or several masters and apprentices together. However, the Zhi family has carried out a division of labor, and what they do is that A kind of pipeline system.

Assembly line?How is it possible not to establish a standard, that is, what is the specification of a certain component, they must be that standard, otherwise the next process will not pass.

Hu You picked up a nail leaf, and was stunned when he saw the incomprehensible writing on the nail leaf.

"This is the 'wisdom number'." Zhiyao glanced at the serial number on the nail leaf, saw the number 1046-789-111, and was in a good mood to literacy for Huyou.

Have a number?That is to say, besides the hydraulic forging hammer, Zhishi has made new technological progress.

The back of each group of numbers represents a group, the number in the front is the person, the second row is the code of the location, and the third row is the set of molds or machines it came from.

Huyou listened in detail, and was depressed that he could understand each word by taking it apart, but couldn't understand it when it was put together.

Even though he couldn't understand, Hu You was still shocked and asked: "So, in just one day, 'Ye' city can build more than a thousand armors?"

Of course not!

To put it bluntly, it is to adjust production capacity flexibly according to needs.

For example, Zhishi desperately needs armor, and the craftsmen will be adjusted to work overtime with the appropriate number of people; if there is a shortage of weapons, the craftsmen will be transferred to make weapons.

Here we can understand that Zhiyao is extremely serious about professional training.

Furthermore, every time craftsmen learn one more skill, they can get more, and then learn more spontaneously.

"With this 'city', the feudal lords will unite to attack, so why not be afraid?" Han Geng said with a complicated mood.

It doesn't count that way either.

If we enter the era of hot weapons, military production capacity will become more important.

In the era of cold weapons, the production of food is the most important thing!

Of course, food is very important in any era, but the proportion is different.

Also as a visitor, Wei Junqian was the most relaxed one.

Whether the Zhi family is strong or not, and how strong it is, Wei Guo is basically unable to parry it anyway.

What Wei Junqian likes to observe most now is Han Geng's face. Every time he sees Han Geng frowning or his face is dark, he feels secretly refreshed every time.

"Let them recognize the gap as soon as possible, so they should restrain their small thoughts?" Zhiyao took them to visit specially, showing off is second, and more is to show their strength one step further.

Bringing an extra Wei Junqian is because Zhiyao wants to use Wei Junqian's mouth to intimidate the princes, but whether Wei Junqian dares to speak nonsense is really doubtful, so it should be hinted at least?
Deterring the princes is only one aspect, Zhiyao is still very willing to see the princes make mistakes in a hurry.
