Country and Beauty

As the capital of the Qin State, Chang An's entire network of railways was built around him. With the later generations of the Longhai Railway, it took more than forty years of construction before all the railways were fully opened in the fourth year after the establishment of the city. The difficulty could be imagined. Xie Fei did not want to turn the rail line into a bean curd project for the sake of progress. If an accident were to happen on the rail line, it would not be a small matter, and the Qin State might not be able to handle such a blow.

Xie Fei, along with dozens of imperial bodyguards, under the escort of the Science and Technology Department President Dai Shengquan, the Industry Department President, the Cabinet Elder Pang Ze, and the Cabinet Principal and Assistant Wang Meng, inspected the Chang An Machinery Factory under the Science and Technology Department.

Xie Fei was not an emperor who liked to put on airs, like how previous generations of emperors had left the palace. Whenever the three thousand imperial guards would open the doors, the imperial guards would clear the streets, causing chaos on the way, disturbing the citizens and wasting money. Xie Fei had always liked to take the light train. Wang Meng had always raised his opinions to Xie Fei on this matter, always for the sake of the imperial family's prestige. Xie Fei could hear it clearly. Xie Fei retorted, "If we only relied on our macro display to protect the prestige of the imperial family, would we be able to garner the heartfelt support of the commoners? To put it bluntly, the royal family is the same as ordinary people. We are also ordinary people. We can get sick and also experience life and death. Luxury is the source of corruption, and the cause of the downfall of a country is due to corruption. "

Since Xie Fei said this, Wang Meng naturally had nothing to say!

When Xie Fei and the rest entered the Chang An Machinery Factory, they heard endless clanking sounds, and after the craftsmen paid their respects to Xie Fei, they went back to work. They did not stop at all because of the Emperor watching by the side.

Wang Meng and Pang Ze, the older members of the Empire, were a little angry at the inattentiveness of the Changan Machinery Factory. Wang Meng looked at the supervisor of the Changan Machinery Factory (equivalent to the current factory manager) Gan Yan and said, "You little old man, you don't even know the seriousness of the matter.

Gan Yan said: "Right now, the construction of the Great Qin Empire is in full swing, all the blacksmiths want to cut themselves into two so that they can complete His Majesty's railway artery plan as soon as possible. This humble one's job is to ensure that everything that comes out of the workshop meets the standards. "Time is of the essence, so …"

When Xie Fei heard Wang Meng reprimand Gan Yan, he tried to smooth things over: "It's not my fault that he was so loyal to his benefactor, he can be considered a role model. It's not his fault, it's just that he accompanied me to look around!"

"We obey!" Gan Yan said, "Your Majesty, please!"

Xie Fei saw the crafting process of the steam engine and train. The steam engine and train had hundreds of thousands of components, and the large and small ones were all different. The smallest one had a chassis that weighed around ten tons, and the smallest one was only a few inches. Xie Fei pointed and casually picked up a copper pipe, this copper pipe was as thick as a chopstick, upon closer inspection, Xie Fei realized that the copper pipe was a steam engine's trachea, there were no marks on it, so Xie Fei asked: "Sir Gan, if my guess is correct, this copper pipe was made using a hollow wire drawing technique, right?"

"Your Majesty's eyes are sharp like torches!" Gan Yan said, "This is made by using steel molds. After cooling it with cold water, the silk will be pulled out!"

When Xie Fei saw Gan Yan let the blacksmiths make it, he couldn't help but laugh. He had seen this kind of thing before. In later generations, there was a corn cob (a circular, hollow food made from corn and sugar), a snack that was squeezed out using a expander, and now this copper tube is also squeezed out in the same way, the difference being that he used a vertical, downward potential energy for limited stretching!

Xie Fei then looked at the place that produced all the screws, and saw that all the screws were the same, the cap was the same as well. Xie Fei pointed to one of the screws and said, "If our Jizhou Workshop were to take out a screw cap, and take out a screw here, would it be able to connect?"

Gan Yan replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, as long as it is a qualified product with the same specifications, all the parts made by workshops throughout the country can be connected at will without any deviation."

"Why is there only a screw here? "What about the nuts?"

"Your Majesty, the nut is produced in another room. Other parts of the field are produced in their respective roles. Make telescopic rod ground specially make telescopic rod, open the wire specially to open the wire. After which, it was sent to one place, where someone was responsible for assembling it together and testing out its effects! "

"What about the other parts?" Is that true too? "

"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the originals were manufactured in accordance with standard specifications,

However, what Xie Fei did not expect was that after he passed through the golden fingers, all the workshops in the various parts of Qin State used standardization, assembly lines, and crossbow components, all of these could be used throughout the country. This was also true because with more than twenty years of standardized production experience, the steel rails produced by all the workshops in the various parts of the Qin State were exactly the same as the sleeper, and without a thousandth of a meter, as well as the modern measuring tools, they were actually able to produce steel rails and sleepers, with a difference of no more than 0.2 mm.

Suddenly, he saw some inscriptions on the prominent position of the cylinder. On it was written "Tai Ping Year 20, Third day of December", and below it was the "Chang An Machinery Factory", "Xi Bing Liu". Xie Fei turned his head to look at the screw and saw that there was also an inscription on it, but it was a set of numbers.

Ganyan explained: "The name of the material works, to test their sincerity, if there is an improper, to investigate their feelings, to celebrate their crimes. This rule passed down to the previous Qin Dynasty. The requirements for a craftsman's workshop, especially for the production of weapons, were extremely harsh. This rule was known as the name of the material works. As long as the Arabian number code is engraved on it, the workshop and the science and technology department would have their records filed. In the event of an accident, the people responsible can be directly investigated, and from then on, no craftsman would dare to stubbornly perform their duties in terms of quality. "

Xie Fei also knew that as long as there was a problem with the weapon chain, other than the problem with the raw materials, if it was the problem with the quality of the technology, the craftsmen would be punished. If there was a quality accident in the preQin era, the punishment would range in severity from scolding to beheading, so it could be seen that although the Qin Shi Huang's crossbow was buried for more than two thousand years, it was still able to operate as if nothing had happened.

In the process of railway construction, the Great Qin Academy of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Qin State had invented a road roller powered by a steam engine, which allowed the roadbed to be laid with greater progress. In order to create a standardized and uniform scale of ties, Gong Shuxian had also greatly improved the woodworking machines, such as the saw blades powered by steam engines, and the metal grinder and lathe like the later generations.

When Xie Fei issued the decree on the construction of the Great Qin's railway artery, all the citizens of the world responded. In order to build a large amount of railways, Xie Fei had even made an exception and imposed a ban on logging. Every time he felled a piece of wood that was three feet in diameter, he had to plant three seedlings of the same species of tree. The people also contributed their own strength, and even the students took the time after school to go to the kiln and help burn the ashes, or to the stone mill to help break the stone.

At this time, more than half of the more than 20 million people living in the Qin State's three major railway artery networks began to work in the construction and auxiliary workshops. With so many people and great strength, Xie Fei and countless people felt that it was inconceivable that Qin State's railway construction speed was not any slower than it was in the future. At the very least, the quality of the Qin State was very harsh. If there were any problems with the quality, they would be killed. Even if it was light, he would still have to fire the workshop. As long as it was a worker, the private company could not hire anyone else, otherwise it would be a huge penalty. There was no need to even mention the fact that they were trying to steal as much as possible. They would exterminate every single clan and clan in their wake.

Without a family to support, he would starve to death, and his own future would be ruined. In this kind of desperate situation where he had no one to show to, the quality of craftsmen's crafts could be guaranteed.

After visiting the Changan Machinery Factory, Xie Fei prepared to return to the palace. Along the way, Xie Fei's mood was not too high, Wang Meng had the honor of being able to sit on the same carriage as Xie Fei, and seeing Xie Fei's depressed mood, Wang Meng guessed a few things, "Your Majesty, are you worried about General Bei Gong?"

Xie Fei nodded his head, "That's right, the North Sea is cold and supply is very difficult. Moreover, a group of new recruits, and under Murong Ke are a group of gamblers who were forced into a corner by us.

Wang Meng smiled and said, "Why does Your Majesty sacrifice everything for the future and leave the one hundred thousand soldiers in front of you to not use?"

Xie Fei asked in puzzlement: "How can we still have a huge army of a hundred thousand?"

"Has His Majesty forgotten someone?" Wang Meng said.

"Who?"

"Ba Teer!" Wang Meng enunciated word by word, "Ba Teer has been back in Chang An for almost half a month. Yesterday, he found me and he hopes to see His Majesty!"

"Ba Teer! A robust man who looked like a bear couldn't help but appear in front of Xie Fei. He knelt at his feet and said sincerely: "Master, your servant Ba Teer is here!" Now, Ba Teer had become the Patriarch of the Baloo, a Marquis. Honestly speaking, Xie Fei did not really believe in the strange Hu he was waiting for. Other than the familiar Li Clan, Miao, Dong, Zhuang, Bai Clan, these traditional docile races, even Xie Fei himself did not know whether there was a Baloo in China's history or not.

Wang Meng said, "Baloo has been very honest for the past 10 years, just like them in Yong Zhou. They are slowly getting used to the Chinese life, and there are almost no Baru people who can learn Baru now. Their food and clothes shop are basically no different from the Chinese life. Although twenty years of peaceful life had softened the people of the Baloo, they were still loyal to their bones …

You did not lose any blood! "

Xie Fei said: "Jing Shu, please pass Ba Teer's name, we have not seen him for more than ten years!"

At night, Xie Fei received Ba Teer in the imperial study. As the imperial study was just beside the imperial harem, and was separated from the harem by a single wall, without permission, even important officials would not be able to enter. When Ba Teer saw that Xie Fei was actually welcoming him in the imperial study, he felt hot tears welling up as he mumbled, "Master, you haven't forgotten Ba Teer!"

Entering the royal study, Ba Teer followed normal rules and handed his blade and weapon over to the palace guards. Suddenly, a palace guard passed down an order: "Pass His Majesty's words, Ba Teer will see him with a weapon!"

When Ba Teer entered the imperial study, he did not conduct himself as a sovereign should, but as a slave greeting his master: "Greeting Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

"Get up. Since when have you been so cultured?" Xie Fei slapped Ba Teer's head.

"Ah... "This one." Ba Teer's old face was flushed red. He was from Baru, and although he could speak Chinese, he couldn't understand any of the words at all. After training with the people of the Department of Rites for half a day, who knew that Xie Fei did not care about that, and anxiously said: "Your majesty, Ba Teer is very angry."

"Oh!" Xie Fei curiously asked: "Who made Ba Teer angry?"

"It's …" Ba Teer's face flushed red: Yes, Master! Master looks down upon Ba Teer, since His Majesty has no other troops to use, he can only look for Ba Teer and not the newly formed army.

Ba Teer was like a wronged child as he spoke, "Master, our Baloo still has over a hundred thousand people. Ba Teer can draw out the young and strong from the clan, form a northern army, and chop off Murong Ke's head for Master and offer it to Master!"

Xie Fei was actually still very pleased with Ba Teer, he was a complete brute, had more than enough loyalty, could not change his mind, and said to Ba Teer in satisfaction: "We have agreed, you will personally lead your troops to the north to support Beigong Chun, you are all old acquaintances, before we depart, you imperial guards should take a look at your youngest son, not bad young lad, you are actually able to become Battalion Commander now!"

Ba Teer was overjoyed upon hearing this. He was born in the Baloo, but he actually felt very inferior to his son. Now that Xie Fei had raised him as a Chinese official, he was a lot more arrogant than his Baloo Family Patriarch. Ba Teer left happily.

At the same time, General Beigong Chun who was in State Protector City felt a little sad. At this time, Murong Ke was also fierce, she started her attacks on State Protector City again and again, regardless of the casualties, because Xianbei member had obtained the equipment of the Qin Army, so it was easy for them to shoot at each other with crossbows. Even though the National Guard had the benefit of the walls, she did not have the advantage at all.

If not for Beigong Chun consecutively slashing dozens of National Guard soldiers who fled in fright, who knows if the State Protector City would have been breached by Murong Ke or not.

Right now, the National Guard's morale was very low, the psychological pressure on the soldiers who had never seen blood was heavy, Beigong Chun's face was also filled with worry.

What made things worse was that after half a month of hard work, Shi Hu, led by the reinforcements of the Capricorn of Zhao, had also arrived outside of the State Protector City. When Shi Hu and her army joined forces, both sides had a combined strength of over a hundred thousand.

Murong Ke said to Shi Hu with a pale face: "Thank you, friend, for your support. It's just that we low and fresh students are unable to gnaw on Qin Manzi's ice city!"

Shi Hu was completely confident, he hoped that she would be able to achieve great things, take control of Zhao's troops, and make sure that she had enough meat and food to fight to the death with Beigong Chun in these three days!

With regards to the unfavorable situation, Shi Hu agreed to Huangfu Zhen's suggestion. The two sides started to work together, working together to build a new slope, and at the same time, intensify their attacks.
