A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The knife passed slowly over the copper piece, and copper shavings fell down in rolls.

Yang Yan was very serious, almost as if no one else was around.

Later, he took a caliper from Shen An to measure the size, and then made another cut.

The last few parts that came out were polished and put together. Yang Yan pulled it and said, "It's very smooth."

"How's the gap?"

If the gap is too small, it will be easy to get stuck; if the gap is too big, it will be easy to deviate when triggering the crossbow.

The crossbow must be used with a steady hand. If the gap between the crossbow and the crossbow is too large, the shot will definitely be inaccurate.

"Not big."

Yang Yan handed the assembled crossbow machine to Shen An.

Shen An pulled it left and right and said with satisfaction: "The gap is very small, just right."

"Is this a crossbow?"

Fu Bi frowned and said, "I've seen it before, and it gave me a headache, but he was able to build it easily by himself. Is this the credit for it?"

He patted the machine tool and thought it was really ugly.

"Absolutely." Shen An said: "In the past, building a crossbow machine required hammering and filing one by one, which was a waste of effort, and it couldn't be built even if you were not an experienced craftsman. Now that Yang Yan has built this machine tool, it only needs one person to operate it. I can continuously process parts for crossbows, and there is another benefit..."

"What's the benefit?"

"That means they can be exchanged..."

Shen An pointed to several ready-made crossbow machines nearby, and some students brought them.

"Break it up and mix it up."

Several crossbows were taken apart and the parts were mixed together.

"Pretend it up!"

When reassembling, no one could find the parts of a certain crossbow machine, so they had to mix them up.

After the mixing was completed, Shen An took it and checked it again, and it was correct.

He raised his head and said to Fu Bi and Bao Zheng, "Do you two know the benefits of this?"

"Save trouble." Bao Zheng was not a warrior after all, so he couldn't get the point right.

Fu Bi was also a second-hand swordsman. He picked up a crossbow and pretended to say: "Could it be possible..."

Although he is a privy envoy, he doesn't know much about weapons at all. It is rare to know how to use a crossbow.

So he pretended to do research, but in fact he just wanted Shen An to speak quickly.

"Everything happens on the battlefield. For example, two crossbows are broken, but the broken parts are different. At this time, you can exchange the two crossbows and make a good one."

Do you understand this?

Fu Bi nodded and praised: "I heard a lot of news about damaged weapons in the Privy Council. The sizes made by those craftsmen are mostly different. There is no way to dismantle them and can only scrap them... This method is good."

The craftsmen process the crossbows individually, and the sizes they come out are of course different, but the machine tool is different, even if it is just an earthen machine tool.

"This is just one of them." Shen An said: "Another advantage is... In the past, craftsmen could only polish things slowly when cutting things, but this bed can succeed in one go... The approximate size of the things it processes It’s all the same, which means that as long as we make dozens of these beds, we can continuously build crossbow machines.”

Shen An was overjoyed and glanced at Yang Yan appreciatively. Naturally, he did not hesitate to praise him, "In the past, one person would do everything from start to finish when building something, but with this bed, it's different. The parts are made from cutting chips, and the people below Polish it according to the standard and then assemble it...it’s very fast and saves labor.”

This is the Song Dynasty version of the assembly line!

As long as needed, the Song Dynasty can build countless beds, and then produce countless powerful crossbows...

"Countless divine crossbows are arrayed... Just thinking about it, I feel that Bianliang is as stable as Mount Tai. Okay! Okay!"

Fu Bi said happily: "What if it is something else? Maybe it can be built?"

“A lot of things do.”

Yang Yan was a little nervous, rubbing his hands and said, "It doesn't matter if it's drilling or chipping."

"good!"

Fu Bi's face glowed brightly and he said, "I heard that you concentrated on your miscellaneous studies and did not take the imperial examination?"

Yang Di's blood was boiling all over his body outside the door.

The old Yang family is going to be prosperous!

The prime ministers and assistants praised my son several times in a row. Is this going to make him prosperous?

Yang Yan nodded, "Yes. There are endless mysteries in miscellaneous studies. Students feel that they will never be able to explore it clearly in their lifetime, and they have no time to write poems and articles..."

Fu Bi looked at him and asked seriously: "Why are you willing to become an official even if you can't take the imperial examination?"

Yang Di was so anxious outside that he wanted to rush in, but the two big men at the door were staring at him coldly. Anyone who dared to take a step beyond the limit would definitely be kicked over.

Son!

Go to the imperial examination!

Go to the imperial examination!

Yang Di wished he could cry out, but he was worried that he would anger Fu Bi and Bao Zheng, and that his son would not be able to benefit from it and would be humiliated.

"Yes."

Yang Yan said calmly: "Taizhao said that no matter whether you are farming, doing business, or serving as an official, besides supporting your family, you should also have some ideals. The student's ideal is to make the Song Dynasty strong... Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. "

"Strengthen the Song Dynasty!" Fu Bi was in a daze, "I thought the same way back then, and did the same thing, but..."

They were just losers, and now they are old. Looking at the young Yang Yan in front of him, Fu Bi couldn't help but think of his own past.

At that time, Fu Bi was a man of iron bones. He refused to give in when negotiating with foreign countries and would rather die than retreat...

"At that time! There were so many enemies." Fu Bi said with a wry smile: "I was afraid. Now I see you are full of vitality... Anbei."

Shen An responded, and Fu Bi said: "Teach these young people well. The Song Dynasty needs young people who don't care about fame and fortune. Don't let them follow our old path."

Shen An glanced at him and said, "Yes."

Fu Bi and Fan Zhongyan worked together to reform the Song Dynasty, but they failed in the end. Now in his later years, he can see young people starting out again and wanting to make changes to the Song Dynasty again. Fu Bi is very excited.

"I feel old when I see them." Bao Zheng also sighed a little, "Golden Fertilizer Pill, Divine Power Crossbow, what else will follow? I'll wait and see. If we can come up with something good, what can the rich prime minister say..."

He looked at Fu Bi with some provocation.

Fu Bi smiled and asked Yang Yan: "What a surprise. I will report this to the officials later. Being a Jinshi is just a trivial matter."

Yang Di outside the door felt a little weak in her legs, her lips were trembling, but she couldn't speak.

Shen An opens an academy, but what will the students do?

Bao Zheng had been thinking about this issue for a long time, but he was just worried that he was alone. At this moment, Fu Bi was dragged into the water, which made him feel happy.

"Okay, I am one of them in this matter!"

Yang Di slowly leaned against the door, her cheeks trembling, she couldn't believe that this was the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty.

"Is this...is this my husband?"

The big man outside the door looked at him coldly, "What do you think?"

"My son, I agree! I agree quickly!"

The people inside were startled by the shout. Two big men grabbed Yang Di and prepared to gag and drag him away.

"father."

Yang Yan rushed out, and Shen An shouted from behind: "Let him go."

When Yang Di was freed, the first thing he did was to go in and salute, and then said with a flattering smile: "I have seen the two ministers, I have seen the imperial edict, the villain Yang Di... the dog is young and ignorant, the villain apologizes on my behalf."

"Daddy."

Yang Di saluted, and Yang Yan couldn't help but get angry when he saw him being so flattering.

Yang Di glared at him, raised his head and said: "Quinzi is ignorant, but he is very motivated in studying, and he is honest and conscientious in his work... If he is an official... he will definitely not let down the kindness of the official family and the kindness of the two husbands... The villain will remember it for the rest of his life, and his descendants will remember it..."

He had met many officials as a layman and knew how powerful these people were, so he laughed habitually and said, "If the dog dares to forget, the villain will break his legs..."

When others help you, never forget it. Ten or twenty years later, your children and grandchildren must not forget it. You must repay it when you are able.

This is faith!

People cannot stand without trust. People of this era understand this well and pass it on to their children as a family motto.

"Daddy!"

Yang Yan was so angry that his face turned red.

Most young people's first idol is their father, but in the past, the tall father was smiling at the two prime ministers, trying his best to flatter...

Yang Yan was disappointed and even more embarrassed.

But Fu Bi and Bao Zheng thought this was normal. Fu Bi smiled and said, "This matter is quite simple. Just look at the back."

Bao Zheng said: "I guarantee this, it will definitely not be wrong."

Students who can research such treasures cannot be cherished enough!

Yang Di said with a bright face: "Thank you so much, I will burn incense and pray every day after I return home. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "

"Students disagree!"

Yang Di's smile disappeared and she turned back to look at her son, the anger in her eyes almost bursting out.

"Quinzi is crazy."

This son is really crazy!

"The kid is not crazy!"

Yang Yan said seriously: "My son is promised to be a miscellaneous scholar in this life and cannot be an official."

In this life...

Human life seems long, but it is short.

Talking about life at every turn is mostly a joke in the eyes of the elderly.

But Bao Zheng and Fu Bi did not laugh.

Yang Yan's eyes were filled with determination. It had been a short time since he had learned from Chu Tai, and he should have thought clearly about things that he should have thought about clearly.

So decisive?

Yang Di's face turned pale and he shouted: "You traitor!"

"shut up!"

Fu Bi stopped his scolding and asked, "Isn't it bad to be an official?"

"Okay." Yang Yan said: "There are many officials, but how many of them know miscellaneous studies? Then miscellaneous studies..."

He smiled and said: "There is a brand new world there, which makes people fascinated. I wish I could think about it every day..."

Is this an obsession?

Yang Di felt that her son had gone crazy.

"My son, what's wrong with you?"

He was devastated, but Bao Zheng smiled and said: "He is an ambitious young man, so there is nothing he can do about it."

He glanced at Fu Bi and said, "Many of the official positions in the Song Dynasty can be awarded without any responsibility. Those who have made things in miscellaneous studies can also be awarded. What does Prime Minister Fu think?"

Is this okay?

Yang Di suddenly felt that he knew nothing about miscellaneous studies.

However, it is rumored that Bao Zheng and Shen An have a good relationship. Could this be partiality?

He stared at Fu Bi rudely, waiting for his feedback.

Fu Bi frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I think it will work!"
