Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 342: Open the door and let the wind of standards blow in!
Gudong, the left minister of the Lifan Academy could not bear the psychological pressure and actually fainted in front of the palace.

Qianlong cast a disgusted look:

"Someone is coming."

A large group of guards rushed into the Hall of Supreme Harmony with their hands on the hilts of their swords.

"According to the list, arrest people!"

These pro-military camp guards who came from the outskirts of Beijing were well prepared.

Half an hour ago, they received the Huanghuang Oracle. While shocked, they were also mentally prepared.

The arrest list is as follows:

The Minister of Lifanyuan, the left and right ministers, the minister of Rouyuan and Laiyuan, and the interpreter.

The Imperial Censor Zuo Du Yushi, the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of War, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture.

every day,

One is a leader, the other is a guide. He is humble and enthusiastic, without daring to put on any airs. After working for a long time, I have arranged the meals and accommodation for all the adults according to their official ranks.

Ministers, please live in single rooms.

It's no wonder that the young man ascended the throne and was wise and martial all his life. In the end, he was deceived by the people below and his old face was completely lost.

Only Heshen, who was also the minister of household affairs, and Agui, who was also the minister of official affairs, survived.

He Shen suddenly thought of Liu Yong. You feel depressed for a while, damn, you escaped a disaster.

As you go down from level to level, the benefits decrease.

One by one, these court officials and court officials were knocked off their hats and stripped off their official robes by guards with unfamiliar faces. For a time, there were endless cries of injustice.

Qin Si lamented in his heart that the master was really hurt, too badly.

"The minister is here."

"The prefect of Jinmen and the commander-in-chief of Jinmen were also arrested. By the way, the officials from the Ministry of Rites who escorted the Seris delegation south to the Grand Canal a few years ago were also arrested and their homes were ransacked."

Fushunzhai’s soy sauce beef, Tongyixuan’s mutton, Ruibinlou’s braised pork belly, Langfang Ertiao’s Chenji braised small intestines, Fengzeyuan’s silver rolls, Donglaishun’s butter fried cakes, and Heyizhai Restaurant’s fried enema ~
They put their books on the table one after another.

then,

The straw needs to be new, the sunshine needs to be sufficient, the walls need to be painted, and the desks, tables, chairs, oil lamps must be complete.

Qianlong's roar resounded throughout the hall.

There are also 6 Manchu and Han Zhangjing from the Military Aircraft Department~
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it was as lively as a vegetable market.

……

The jailers had to pay thousands first and then serve with a smile.

Even though the old guy Yu Minzhong was used to seeing big winds and waves, he was frightened to death by today's strange and crazy situation. He was extremely uneasy and feared that Qianlong would hold him accountable.

The officials, who were in a gloomy mood, were naturally too lazy to talk and just nodded.

The waiters only share a room with two persons.

"This slave swears allegiance to the Emperor to the death."

"Yu Minzhong!"

The officials must have lost their appetite and couldn't eat more than a few bites.

"Sir, it's time for you to eat."

There are also Zheng Jinsheng, the minister of the Ministry of Justice who is an imperial envoy in Huai'an, and a minister of the Ministry of Industry who supervises the construction of sea-going ships in Lushun.

After half an hour, come back and take it away.

"I lay on the hospital bed and thought about it for a long time. You all hold high positions, receive a lot of salary, and have countless filial piety from below. But I didn't expect that you have become so crazy and crazy. Am I your enemy? Do you have to take pleasure in watching me make a fool of myself? If I kill everyone in the Taihe Palace, some of them may be unjust.

The prison of the Ministry of Punishment was overcrowded.

Although everyone wears white clothes now, they still have to pay attention to the order of honor and inferiority.

……

"The minister is here."

I feel wronged, so wronged~
……

At this moment,

"I accept your order."

"You are the only one who reminded me, so I will fine you one year's salary."

"He Shen."

Except for less sunshine and poor lighting, everything else is the same.

"I want to punish you. Stop being the Minister of Military Aircraft. You can walk on the military aircraft for the time being. Then you can take on all the errands of the Ministry of Etiquette."

The jailers were happy and nervous at the same time. This was really a stray dog ​​that fell into the meat factory and couldn't finish eating.

Four of the six ministers fell down.

Everyone in the Penal Department Prison followed suit.

Everyone can buy whatever they want to eat. This bill will naturally be paid by your family members.

……

At the door, a room was specially cleaned.

Two friendly and sophisticated scribes are here to receive your relatives, disciples and old officials.

He nodded and bowed to accept the money and clothes they sent, and repeatedly promised that the adults would not be neglectful in their lives there.

In a word, the jailers would be more considerate than serving their own father.

The Ministry of Punishment even set up a "special purchasing team" consisting of 4 people, 4 mules and horses, and 4 carts, to buy whatever was delicious in the cities.

We need to let the adults know that the best restaurant in the capital is in the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

A doctor from the Ministry of Justice in charge of the official prison had already put down his words:

"No matter whether the adults go to the vegetable market in the future, eat sand in Yili, or build snowmen in Ninggu Tower, no one can be negligent. Anyone who dares to act like a jailer to gain a sense of existence will be destroyed."

……

"Warden, come here."

"Master Zhang Jing, what are your orders?"

"I want to drink and eat mutton. Go quickly~"

The jailer laughed along and reminded carefully:

"Master, your family members have never come."

"My family members are not in the capital, so naturally I have no money. But, I just want to eat!"

The jailer nodded and went to ask the cell leader on duty.

The cell leader was very calm and waved his hand:
"Satisfy him!"

"I just can't figure it out, why is he so poor?"

The prison head smiled:

"At the time of Emperor Yongzheng, we also had a prison officer come in, Li Gongzhi, a doctor from the Ministry of Works. The seniors who guarded the prison were a little too aggressive because he didn't send money to his family. Later~ Alas!"

"What happened next?"

"Later, this man went out and applied to the emperor to be the doctor in charge of the prison in the Ministry of Punishment. He went to the Yamen on duty early every day. The first thing he did was to find fault with all the jailers. He entered the room with his left foot and received 30 canes. If you enter the room first, you will receive 50 canes. Forget about those who are late, they will be beaten to death on the spot. Many seniors will come in standing upright in the morning and be pulled out at noon covered with white cloth."

The prison head was quite emotional and pointed his hand inwards:
"Can you guarantee that there is no second Li Gongzhi here? Once you are an official, you will always be an official. Once you take off your hat, you will still be an official. Just bear with it, we are all masters, and we are grandsons!"

……

Suzhou Prefecture,
Li Yu, escorted by hundreds of guards, went out of the city to inspect the progress of the palace in the east.

Hu Xueyu was too busy, so he had no intention of handling the daily details, and could only entrust them to a descendant named Kuai and a craftsman named Lei recruited from Jiangxi.

"Style Lei" is the pinnacle of craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty.

This family, which originated from Yongxiu, Jiangxi, has been in charge of the Forbidden City Construction Office for six consecutive generations. The buildings handled include two palaces, three seas, three mountains, five gardens (Old Summer Palace, Summer Palace, Jingyi Garden, Jingming Garden, Changchun Garden), and two mausoleums (East and West Tombs).

It supported half of the royal architectural history of the Qing Dynasty.

This kid surnamed Lei is just a side branch of this family, and he once spent a year at the Old Summer Palace construction site.

Later, without knowing what happened, I returned to my hometown again.

Li Yu just glanced at this person and guessed a bit.

The technology is probably there, and the ambition is not small. But it doesn't matter, there are still children of the Kuai family to supervise.

……

"Your Majesty, please take a look. Starting from Xiangmen of Suzhou Fucheng, a 4-foot-wide cement road has been built to extend here. In addition, a waterway has been planned based on the original river, which can lead directly to Fucheng."

"Well, it's necessary to build roads."

Li Yu looked at the busy construction site and asked:

"Where are you now?"

"The entire foundation is half a foot high, and the foundation needs to be solid, so compaction is a big project."

"I give you a warrant to move the cavalry and infantry sergeant school training at Taihu Racecourse here. People and horses will step on the ground to lay a solid foundation as soon as possible." "Your Majesty has thought carefully."

Hu Xueyu waved his hand, and the two specific handlers who were waiting not far away immediately came over.

"Lei Jiawang and Kuai Lin pay their respects to Your Majesty."

"Get up, is there any problem with the project?"

Lei Jiawang was waiting for this opportunity and immediately handed it over and said:
"The villain knows how to make glass and can use it for palace windows."

"Oh?" Li Yu was quite surprised and asked seriously, "Where did you learn it?"

"Old Summer Palace Construction Office."

"It stands to reason that this is a secret technology. How can you master it?"

"The villain has stolen a lesson. In the archives of the style room, there is a work manual for the process of firing royal glass by a Venetian glass master hired at a high price. Normally, the supervision of the archives room is lax, so the villain is eager to learn and steals from the teacher. It’s considered stealing. It’s a coincidence that the Huzhou Prefecture under your Majesty’s administration happens to have high-quality quartz sand mines.”

……

Kuai Lin was shocked and thought that he would have to be careful about this guy in the future.

Hu Xueyu was also quite surprised, thinking that it was no wonder that you came here as soon as he was called. It turned out that you had wanted to make progress for a long time. Maybe in the future, the style of the Lei family in Yongxiu, Jiangxi, will blossom in the north and south.

Li Yu said seriously:
"Establish a glass manufacturing factory and you will be responsible for it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"What do you think of the style of Wu Guo's new palace?"

"Little people feel that it will be unusually majestic, the cost of materials is low, the construction period is short, and the complicated carving links are omitted, and the fire hazard will be greatly reduced. Cement, steel bars, and clay fired bricks can all be supplied nearby. The central axis is clear, and the main entrance The 18 embossed cement pillars outside are simple and majestic. If it can be equipped with huge glass windows and add some Chinese garden elements to the style, it will be perfect. "

"okay."

After listening to this guy's words, Li Yu was very satisfied.

He was basically sure that this guy really knew what he wanted!
This palace is the key to whether Lei Jiawang can be promoted. So he will definitely try his best.

……

noon,

Minister of Industry Du Ren, Director of Metallurgy Chen Zhuangjie, Director of Military Industry Zhang Chengye, Director of Training Zhao Erhu and relevant personnel from Maanshan Iron and Steel attended the meeting.

Li Yu sat in front of the long table,
Let’s ask Chen Zhuangjie first:

"How is the steelmaking process being streamlined and precise?"

"Return to Your Majesty. Maanshan Iron and Steel adhered to the instructions and divided the entire chain into 15 processes. Each process is operated by a fixed group of technicians, and at the same time a backup group and a group of apprentices. The time and materials have been accurate to the millimeter to prevent any mistakes. Empiricism."

"Where's the yield?"

"The daily output is about 30 kilograms of raw iron."

"We hope to reach 50 jins before the end of the year. Any questions?"

"As long as the training of apprentices keeps up, it won't be a big problem. The open-pit iron mine is simply perfect, and the mining team can work in five shifts."

"I have another suggestion for Maanshan Iron and Steel, which is to lay tracks from the open-pit iron mine to the iron smelting area and transport it with trolleys. Sharpening the knife will not miss the woodcutter, and the captive manpower will be used for mining."

"Yes."

Li Yu looked at Zhang Chengye who was deep in thought and said with a smile:

"What about you?"

Everyone laughed and looked at Xiao Zhang, who had a tender face but rough hands and thick arms.

……

"Your Majesty, I have an idea."

"Say!"

"There are more and more factories under the Military Industry Administration, and the chains are getting longer and longer, and they are beginning to face a serious problem: dimensional errors. Eighty percent of the parts of flintlock guns produced by the same factory are interchangeable. But if they are from different factories, only Thirty percent are interchangeable. This problem is not limited to flintlock guns, but is also common in artillery carriages, horse-drawn carriages, and various military supplies."

Everyone nodded, feeling touched.

Zhao Erhu suddenly laughed:
"I have seen that the guns of the Training Department are very worn, and you have to rely on luck when repairing and replacing parts."

Li Yu leaned back on the chair,

He sighed:
"I am so busy with the war that I have forgotten this important matter. 2000 years ago, Qin Shihuang knew that weights and measures should be unified, but he still hasn't done it today."

"Starting from today, all government offices will begin to implement standardization."

Everyone was filled with emotion. Qin Shihuang's vision had indeed seen through thousands of years.

"Your Majesty, please set a benchmark."

……

Li Yu thought for a moment and asked someone to get the tools and draw a reference ruler on the hard paper.

1 foot is about 33 centimeters.

The length of the base ruler is set to 1 foot. If the average distribution is 33, it will be too troublesome and difficult to implement.

It combines ancient and modern times without being rigid or rigid.

Round directly and divide into 30 parts. One portion is 1 cent, and 10 cents is 1 cent.

1 centimeter is divided into 10 equal parts and is determined as 1 millimeter.

A clear and complete length system of feet, minutes, centimeters, and centimeters was developed, and it was easier for the ancients to accept it.

Li Yu pushed the drawing:
"With this, 3 reference steel rulers were made and archived, and then 400 hardwood rulers were reproduced and delivered to various factory offices."

……

Zhang Chengye asked softly again:

"Your Majesty, what if it is more than 1 foot in length?"

"A steel rod is used to make a 1-foot-long reference ruler. However, it is inconvenient for daily use. It can be erected as a calibration ruler. Usually, tough and undeformable cowhide is used to make a leather ruler, with a length of 1-foot to 3-foot. Be sure to calibrate it before use. If there is any deformation, it will be eliminated immediately.”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Everyone agreed in unison.

This is really not flattery, but admiration from the bottom of my heart.

With the reference ruler, future industrial production will have a goal - standardization!

The industrial landscape is getting bigger and bigger, and only through standardization can we achieve greater combat effectiveness.

It was a brief meeting, but a profound one.

Since then,

Everything in Wu State will first be subject to the standardization process.

It is jokingly called,

Jiangnan’s tofu puffs are already fixed with a few handfuls of dried shrimps, but the stall owner won’t give them an extra handful. Because this is called standardization, Your Majesty said.

……

even,

Brothel practitioners are clamoring: "Open the door and let the wind of standards blow in."

After many rounds of comparative research by veteran experts in the industry, a set of standard processes was finally developed:
There can be standards for how much girls bend their knees when they salute, how they greet people, and how much they wear.

especially,
The most critical process of "converting bioenergy into trickle-down economic kinetic energy" needs to be standardized.

Veteran experts who have visited Maanshan Iron and Steel said that this is essentially the same as the iron smelting process in the factory.

What the processes have in common:

Each link requires the cooperation of at least two people, requires sufficient physical strength, requires repetitive and tireless mechanical movements, pays attention to the heat, pays attention to repeated hammering, and pays attention to the steel-making to the softness around the fingers.

For example, clothing:

The blacksmith cannot wear more clothes because the furnace is too hot. But you can’t go bare-chested, as you’ll get burned by sparks. So, a leather apron is enough!

The same goes for girls. You can't wear less, and you can't wear too many. One skirt is enough.

For example, muscles:

An excellent blacksmith must have well-developed muscles! Shining with wild healthy beauty.

A top card, that's probably the case.

And so on, there are many, many similarities:

For example, both professions are a combination of strength and skills. The working hours cannot be too long, you need to eat more nutritious food, and you need to be careful about occupational injuries.

……

The more experts study, the more connections they find.

You can say arbitrarily:

Smelting iron = visiting a kiln, blacksmith = girl.

They even pondered whether they should suggest that the government office send people to record these core technologies and compile them into a booklet, like the "Artillery Manual" of the General Staff Headquarters.

Prevent secrets from being stolen by the Qing court in the north.

Even from a business perspective, it is necessary.

In any industry, those who can set industry standards are the big winners!
