Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 388 Li Shimin's Winning
Chapter 90 Li Shimin's Winning
Assembly line operation does not simply mean working on an assembly line.Instead, dozens of hundreds of processes from the beginning to the end are divided into dozens of processes, each with professional manufacturing. In this way, no matter how advanced the technology is, it will no longer exist.As early as the Qin Dynasty, China already had the method of assembly line operation.

The Qin Dynasty introduced the crossbow machine manufacturing technology from South Korea (Warring States Korea, not the Bangzi Kingdom), and was improved by Qin craftsmen to form a Qin crossbow.When the state of Qin made the crossbow machine, it decomposed the whole crossbow machine into more than 30 processes, which were manufactured by specialized people. Carpenter selection (choose the appropriate wood for extension wood), woodworking (saw the extension wood for the length of the crossbow arm), chisel woodworker (cut the extension wood for the shape of Wangshan, hanging knife (trigger) and other shapes), copper casting, polishing , string making, painting, hanging knife making, mechanics, assembly and more than [-] detailed processes. Since the Qin Dynasty began to adopt standardized manufacturing, all parts can be used for common use. In this way, the Qin Dynasty's crossbow making is not only efficient , and the quality is very high, so there is Mengtian in the Hetao area, and the Huns were frightened in World War I.

Chen Ying had a flash of inspiration in his head in this era, and suddenly realized.The method of assembly line operation can not only be used in casting gold and silver ingots, but can also be used in various fields, such as the carriage workshop. In terms of production capacity, this workshop can only produce about [-] to [-] vehicles.

This effect is actually very low, and Chen Ying is not satisfied.

Chen Ying can "turtle" produce four-wheeled luxury carriages, but with the increase of the road, especially the four-wheeled cargo carriages with a wheel spacing of 15 feet wide, this kind of carriages or ox carts will be of high quality and low price. , winning by quantity.Datang launched the Battle of Luoyang, which will use 20 to 30 troops, plus civilian husbands, at least [-] horses will be needed. Three liters of grain consumption per person per day is not counted as transportation consumption, which requires thousands of grains per day. If you count For the consumption of war horses and poor horses, food alone will cost about [-] shi. If you store food for half a year, this is a small [-] shi.

Even if a carriage could carry thirty shi, it would require tens of thousands of carriages.Even if a carriage only earns a profit of ten guan, it can earn one hundred thousand guan.Thinking of this, Chen Ying immediately asked Ma Zhou for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to draw a four-wheeled carriage into an exploded view, preparing to produce the carriage in an assembly line.

At the same time, in order to adapt to the matching axle distance of the carriage, Chen Ying began to formulate the axle width standard of the carriage.

Chen Ying took the distance between the two wheels as a standard, and began to dismantle the carriage through hundreds of steps, especially the wheels, whether they were clad in iron or cast copper, they were all consumable parts and needed to be expanded as soon as possible. Increase production scale and increase inventory for future contingencies.

Fortunately, Chen Ying is very familiar with the design and construction of the four-wheeled carriage. Even with his eyes closed, Chen Ying knows that the four-wheeled carriage has more than 320 parts. Turning to the seven parts of the operating system, wheels, axles, carriages, interior decoration, assembly, and painting, it forms an assembly line operation. Of course, Chen Ying did not refine each part, but based on his idea, let the carriage workshop The craftsmen make corrections according to the actual situation.

At the same time, Ma Zhou also followed Chen Ying's idea to fix the assembly line for the burning of the money bank.

The knowledge Ma Zhou learned was very complicated. Seeing Chen Ying sorting out the assembly line operation process of the four-wheeled carriage in just two hours, he said very strangely: "The master is also proficient in the examination work record?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Of course it's not enough to be proficient. I've read a little bit to understand a little bit. In fact, we don't need to do everything by ourselves. We need to train our subordinates well, know how to use them well, and adopt fair and just incentives. And reward and punishment measures, that's it!"

Ma Zhou bowed slightly and said, "My lord is wise!"

Chen Yingdao: "Learning from the past to know the future, learning from the past is not the goal, knowing the future is the key. Why can master Ge Tong develop better spring steel in just a few months? Not only because he is smart, but more importantly The most important thing is that he sorted out the materials accumulated in the past decades or even hundreds of years, and found the rules. We are now establishing a bank, which is an unprecedented achievement. There are no old examples to follow, so we can only look forward and take a step forward. Look at three steps, explore ten steps, maybe you will usher in a major breakthrough. King Ma Bin, you have to do well, and you will be the treasurer of Datang in the future?"

"Minister of Finance?" Ma Zhou rolled his eyes, a little moved, but his confidence was still lacking.Ma Zhou is very smart, knowledgeable, quick to analyze things, loyal and upright.It's just that he has no confidence in himself now.In particular, although the Qianzhuang has the name of the Qianzhuang, Chen Yingrang, the Qianzhuang, will eventually assume the responsibility of the central bank. Ma Zhou really doesn't know what effect the Qianzhuang will have on Datang, and he is also at a loss.

Chen Ying patted Ma Zhou on the shoulder and said: "The Great Tang established the country with force and governed with pragmatism. Don't worry, take your time. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it's always good to think about it."

"Okay," Ma Zhou reluctantly agreed.

When Chen Ying left the treasury and was about to return to the Chen Mansion for a rest, he suddenly heard three loud "bang bang bang" drums coming from the direction of the Taiji Palace in the imperial city, which seemed to shake the entire palace.Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of high-pitched and thick golden horns that soared into the sky, shaking the sky and making a loud noise.

There is a bell and drum tower in front of the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace, one is used to tell the time in the palace, and the other is used to announce the appointment of all officials to the court or when a major event occurs, to temporarily call all the provinces and ministries in the imperial city to return to Taiji Dianmianjun.Now it was approaching 45:[-] pm (equivalent to [-]:[-] pm in later generations) but the Drum Tower unexpectedly sounded, and Chen Ying couldn't help being a little curious.

The drums of the imperial palace summoning all the ministers here are like the generals' drums in the army.Three drums responded that officials above the fifth rank in Chang'an must arrive at the palace within half an hour, otherwise it would be a crime of disrespect.

Outside the Chengtian Gate, a group of civil and military ministers in scarlet robes walked towards the palace in groups.Seeing that they were chatting happily with each other, they didn't look nervous, as if they were not worried about any unexpected accidents in the court.

Chen Ying didn't have much contact with the courtiers, so he didn't know most of the courtiers at all, and suddenly he found a familiar face in the crowd.General Youtunwei, Duke Dou Cong of Fufeng County.Chen Ying cupped his hands and said, "Grand Dou, what happened in this palace?"

Dou Cong looked at Chen Ying, and immediately said with joy, "Mr. Chen, you are too slow to hear the news, aren't you?"

Chen Ying was stunned.

Dou Cong said: "The beating of the drums and horns in the Bell and Drum Tower is to celebrate the [-]th birthday of His Majesty's seventh son, King Lu."

"Oh!" Chen Ying felt a little wry when he heard this.Li Yuan is also really capable. His seventh son, King Lu, is not a good guy. After he became an adult, he bullied men and women in Chang'an, committed all kinds of crimes, and finally played himself into it. He dared to trick Li Chengqian into a mutiny and have a hundred-day banquet Li Yuanchang celebrated his birthday with great fanfare, but he also rang the bells and drums, which made the people in Chang'an panic.

Chen Ying couldn't help thinking of a sentence in his head. In ancient times, King Zhou You played with the beacon fire to play with the princes, and today Li Tang Gaozu plays with drums and horns with hundreds of officials.

"So that's the case, I'm so ignorant, ashamed, ashamed!" Chen Ying laughed.

Dou Cong waved his hands and said, "Mr. Chen is a busy man, so it's understandable."

Chen Ying shook his head, and said modestly, "It's just busywork."

Dou Cong opened his mouth, sighed and said, "Mr. Chen, Cong has a feeling of unsympathy..."

Chen Yingdao: "Mr. Dou has something to say, but it's okay to say it!"

Dou Cong said: "That four-wheeled carriage..."

Chen Ying said with a smile: "If it was someone else, someone would definitely say no. Brother Dou asked for one, but even if he doesn't have one, I have to get one for Mr. Dou if I can think of a way."

Dou Cong smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is still a good friend!"

The two walked and talked, and unknowingly came to the square of Chengtianmen. At this time, the square was full of green-robed officials.In the bureaucratic system of Datang, Wupin is a huge watershed.Officials above the fifth rank can wear red official uniforms, and officials below the fifth rank can wear green and blue official robes.

Although Chen Ying is young, he has already been made a public servant and belongs to the rich and powerful.

These green-robed officials were not qualified to attend the banquet set up by Li Yuan in the Tai Chi Hall, so they could only stand on Chengtianmen Square to wish King Lu a hundred years away.

Dou Cong and Chen Ying had just entered the Tai Chi Hall, when Li Shimin, who was chatting and laughing with the ministers, apologized to the surrounding ministers and walked towards Chen Ying.

Li Shimin gave Chen Ying a bear hug when he came up, hugged him tightly, and patted Chen Ying's back vigorously with both hands.

Chen Yingdi couldn't help but laugh, he knew that this was the only way for Li Shimin to get along with the lieutenant general.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Ying with a smile and said: "Okay, okay, General Chen's body seems to have recovered, but the lonely king is still worried that things will be delayed after the beginning of spring."

Chen Ying looked at Li Shimin in astonishment, and thought to himself: "The spring of next year will be Li Shimin's most glorious battle. He first overthrew Wang Shichong, then captured Dou Jiande alive, and finally was named Tiance General by Li Yuan."

It stands to reason that Li Shimin shouldn't let him, the general of the East Palace, intervene in this battle?
