Chapter 390 Stamping Machines

The research process was very simple. Yue Shan drew down some of the structures he still remembered, and then explained to these craftsmen the functions he needed to realize.

Although these craftsmen have not read books and do not have any advanced mechanical skills, they are all old craftsmen who have been in the industry for decades and have accumulated a lot of experience.

Under the general framework given by Yue Shan, they quickly came up with a set of plans by using the "art of my thinking".Without doing follow-up verification, I directly made a set of real objects.

Sure enough, the machine produced in this way has a big problem, and there is no way to run it at all.However, Yue Shan had been mentally prepared for a long time, and he was not disappointed.

These craftsmen are not professionals, they are better at summing up experience and making transformations in kind, rather than doing theoretical certification against drawings.

The first set of punching machines was for their research.

With the real object, the next progress was faster than Yue Shan expected.These craftsmen found many problems with just a glance, such as the size of some parts was too large, or the structure was unreasonable.

Then rebuilt and replaced, the machine was indeed much stronger than the first time, at least every structure was connected.

Later, the structure drawn by Yue Shan was modified.It's not that there is a problem with Yue Shan's paintings, but that the technical level is different in different times. The structure he painted may be fine, but it is impossible to realize it under the conditions of the Tang Dynasty.

These old craftsmen have modified these structures based on the existing technology of the Tang Dynasty. Although they may not be more reasonable than the original ones, they can at least make the machines work.

Sure enough, after a major modification was made to the original structure, and the entire stamping machine was modified beyond recognition, the machine started to turn.

Then it is to make molds for physical stamping. At this time, the benefits of Yueshan's indigenous steelmaking technology in advance are reflected.

Under the huge stamping pressure, the iron in the Tang Dynasty was deformed within a few strokes, and only the steel made in the blast furnace could barely meet the requirements.Sure enough, fundamental physics is the foundation of all modern science.

But anyway, this original hydraulic stamping machine was built.

Yue Shan rewarded these craftsmen heavily, and took their families to his manor to protect them.

Most of these craftsmen were attached to the Yueshan shop by Li Xiaogong, they belonged to his servants, so don't worry about them leaking secrets.

Although he didn't like slaves very much, he didn't let them go.He already understands that he must abide by the rules of that era, otherwise it will be difficult.

He has a lot of secrets, and there are a lot of things that need to be done. There are many things that are not suitable for others to know for the time being, which can only be done by these servants.

For example, to make glass, the housekeeper Bao Dalin was used.For example, the stamping machine right now, this thing is a strategic machine if it is used well, it is best not to leak it right now.

After the stamping machine was built, Yue Shan had someone make molds, and forged several copper, silver, and gold coins of various sizes.

After that, the mold was destroyed, and they were warned to keep this matter in their hearts, even their own parents and sons could not tell it.

These craftsmen are not stupid, they naturally know what the molds used to mint coins represent, and they all swore to keep the secret, Yue Shan was relieved.

Then assign tasks to them.Learn how to use a punching machine to make farm implements, make arrows, knives, armor, and more.

Stamping to make agricultural tools can minimize the price of agricultural tools and promote agricultural production.Mechanized production of weapons can truly limitless violence.

After that, Yue Shan took the memorial and coins to see Li Shimin.

When they arrived at the palace, Li Shimin was discussing the time with his confidants. Li Shimin was very happy to see him coming, and said: "Cuilan, you came at a good time. We are discussing about Shencheng, and you should come to give us some ideas."

Shencheng is the city that will be built along the Chunshen River. Because of the name of Lord Chunshen, the name of Shen is tentatively decided. As for whether it will be changed, that is a matter for the future.

Yue Shan greeted Yuwen Shiji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others before replying: "I'm afraid the saint will be disappointed. I have written everything I know in the memorial, so I don't have any new ideas."

"Don't rush to say that you can't do it, just listen to it." Li Shimin let him sit down, and then said to the others: "Masters, the matter of Shencheng is a foregone conclusion. Now we have to consider who can take on this important task."

Everyone looked at Yue Shan subconsciously, but immediately moved away. Everyone knew that it was impossible for him to leave the capital in the short term.

Not to mention Li Shimin's unwillingness, these prime ministers also don't want a person who has the power of ghosts and gods to wander around.

Besides, even putting aside the status of a magic stick, no one wants Yue Shan to go to Shencheng just because of political balance.He already has Dizhou as his backing, and let him get Shencheng... No one wants to see this kind of situation.

Li Shimin didn't seem to have noticed the movements of the crowd, and said to himself: "Shencheng is a county where people with too much status are too inferior to their talents, but it is very difficult for this place to link up with people with too little status in the north and south, fearing that the local officials will not be able to be restrained. select."

How could Yue Shan not hear it, this was just for him, it was an explanation of why he was not allowed to go, and he was given a ladder.He understood and accepted it frankly.

The imperial court plans to develop and construct Shencheng as a county in Suzhou. Although this county is special and under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, it is a seventh-rank pit after all.

But Shencheng Goulian North and South have to deal with people from all walks of life, and even the officials of the Suzhou government will not honestly give this piece of fat to others to eat.If the status is not enough to suppress those people, it is useless to go there.

Li Shimin and his ministers discussed for a long time, and they were rejected by a dozen people in a row, including the clan's children.Moreover, these clan children were personally vetoed by Li Shimin.

His attitude towards the clan is very clear, except for a few top-notch ones, it is enough to support them, and it is better not to touch the real power.

It doesn't matter whether you are left or right, Li Shimin became impatient, and finally turned his attention to Yue Shan: "Is there anyone for Cuilan?"

The eyes of all the ministers turned to him suddenly, the eyes were very clear, you are a little bit more sensible.Yue Shan naturally wouldn't commit any taboos, not to mention that he didn't have suitable candidates, even if he did, he couldn't recommend them.

So he smiled and said: "The sage and the ministers are confused by the authorities. Why do you want to appoint someone directly? Why don't you think about it in reverse. First clarify what conditions are required for this position, and then look at who is in the court. If you meet these conditions, you can choose one of them.”

Li Shimin slapped his forehead and smiled wryly.The others glanced at each other, a little embarrassed.

But Yue Shan knew very well that Li Shimin's wry smile was intentional, and the embarrassment of others was real.

Have they really forgotten this simplest method of selecting officials?impossible.The slogan of selecting talents and appointing talents has been shouted for thousands of years. As prime ministers, would they not know how to select officials?

The reason why they have been arguing for so long is that they have selfish motives. They want to let the person they recommended pass by, and then keep denying others.In this way, even in a few years, they will not be selected.

Li Shimin naturally knew this too, but he couldn't figure it out, otherwise it would be like flipping the table.Anyone can turn this table, except the emperor.

So Li Shimin involved Yue Shan and asked him to lift the table.Yue Shan would naturally cooperate, pointing out the selfishness of the ministers in an understatement.They're not embarrassed to be damned.

The table was turned, and these people naturally did not dare to abandon the public for personal reasons, and a suitable candidate was quickly selected.

Zhongshu Sheren Cen's text.

As Li Shimin's secretary, his position is high enough and his status is special enough. If the fifth rank goes to Shencheng to become the seventh rank county magistrate, he can be regarded as a low-ranking high-ranking magistrate.The key is that this person has no other forces behind him and is loyal enough to Li Shimin.

The candidate for the chief officer was confirmed, and the division in the hall suddenly became more relaxed. Everyone discussed some other things together and then left the meeting separately.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Yue Shan took out the memorial without waiting for Li Shimin to ask.
