Chapter 52 Cremation

After Xiong Jing finished speaking, Gong Jia, who was powerful and powerful, immediately took away the dozen Shaoyan people. The whipping was not very heavy, but just a bunch of jinglings and spanking, which was the lightest of all punishments. After the beating, he couldn't tell at all. Gongshujian breathed a sigh of relief and felt sorry for the 1,300 water trucks. "Your Highness, it's hard to make more than 1,300 water trucks, and more than 200 water trucks a day will take six days. It's better to change them if it's burned."

"Who will change it?" Xiong Jing looked at him with a smile, feeling very unhappy. Gongshu Jian originally wanted to beat him, but he was a doctor and could not be punished.

"This..." After more than two months of adjustment, the production line has stabilized. Or in Xiong Jing's words, the production line has reached a balance. The so-called balance means that all the investment factors have been optimized. It is not difficult to change more than 1,300 water trucks, but the current situation is that carpenters cannot be extracted. If we really want to complete this, not only the production line is paused, but also the lumberjacks in the mountains, ships transporting finished raw materials along the way, and shops sold in various cities, all of them have to stop. The losses caused are really better than burning these defective products.

"However...but..." Gongshujian certainly did not look like Xiong Jing, who had worked hard in later generations, nor did he have the concept of industrial chain from mountains and forests to shops in cities and cities across the country. He just felt it was a pity.

"I heard that a man from Wei wanted to come to Chu, but his car drove north. Then someone asked him, "Why are you going to Chu?" He said, "My horse is very good, you run fast, and you can reach no matter how far you go." Then someone advised him, your horse is good, but this is not the way to Chu. This person also said, "I have a lot of money and the masters are good..."

Xiong Jing turned to the story of the opposite direction, and everyone around him listened quietly. After the story was finished, he said again: "The prerequisite for doing anything is that the principles must be correct, and at the same time, strive to do it right at once. If you make a mistake, you can do it. You can do it yourself, but you can never do it."

"Now!" After this period of time, Xiong Jing's prestige has been established among the craftsmen of the Zao Mansion. Now that he requests this, no one will say no.

"Working things is like rolling a wooden board on the stage. Every step you have to stabilize the rolling a wooden board. Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted, either dead or injured. Upward climbing is the various methods that everyone thinks of when building a water truck, either faster, better, or more easier..., all due to experience and thinking. However, if you do not turn these methods into norms and do not teach these norms to everyone, it is equivalent to rolling a wooden board on the stairs and returning to the original place.

In addition to standardization, the moral integrity must not be slackened. The moral integrity of the moral integrity should be regarded as nothing, and the duty should be in a trance, like throwing stones on the top of a city or falling from a high platform. Such people must not be accepted." When Xiong Jing said this, he became angry again. He turned and ordered: "Those who have lost their duties will be snatched from their posts and reduced their salary and will be punished as craftsmen. They will not be promoted until they see their moral integrity."

"Yi." This time the promise was louder and the work shed was quieter. The punishment for craftsmen was much heavier than the chess.

One by one, the water trucks were carried to the open space by the Eastern Palace soldiers. More than one thousand three hundred piled into a hill. With the order from the pawn leader, dozens of torches were ignited everywhere. The flames immediately rose from the place where the fish oil was poured, and the fire was blowing. After a while, the whole hill was ignited. The water truck was new and the fire was raging. The craftsmen who heard the news gathered around the fire to save it, and they didn't see it. Finally, an old carpenter who arrived later rushed into the fire and snatched several water trucks out of fire. However, the armor soldiers quickly stopped them and threw the lifted water truck back to the fire.

The crowd was crying. To the craftsmen, the product was like their own children. Now the children turned into ashes in front of their eyes, and no one could accept it. But the soldiers stood beside the fire, and they had no choice but to kneel down and beg Gongshujian, who was equally helpless.

When the fire started, Xiong Jing was no longer in the wooden area. One thousand three hundred water trucks were worth more than 60 gold, and the money was really not small, but from the moment they became defective products, the money had been wasted, and burning was just a cremation. Of course, this was his logical reason. What is deeper was that he was angry that everyone did not strictly abide by the norms--the axle was shorter than 5 centimeters, not that no one discovered it, but that he did not correct it, thinking that it could be used. A country built a government actually had this idea, not far from bankruptcy.

"Why is that? It's on fire!" Grand Sima Nao came cunningly and was startled to see the fire soaring.

"Report to the Grand Sima, this is... this is your highness who ordered us to burn bad things." The mansion craftsman made two times before he told the whole story.

"The fire is so big?" Naojiu glanced at the fire scene half-believingly. It was really like that, the fire was burning in the open space.

"Yes," the worker lowered his head and replied, "Your Highness is in the papermaking area, please follow me."

The papermaking area is the newly created area of ​​Xiong Jing, which is considered a prenatal test. Based on his understanding of papermaking, papermaking should be soaked first, then boiled alkali, then filtered into drying, and finally turned into paper. Although the process is not completely correct, as long as the alkali is boiled into pulp, paper can still be made. Now, what is placed in front of him is a stack of paper sheets of uneven thickness and size.

"Your Highness..." In addition to a craftsman in charge of papermaking, he was mainly a ward from the palace. He took his post as his name and was good at making soup for the king. For him, making paper is no different from making soup, but he just couldn't eat it.

"Why... Why..." This paper not only contains debris, but can be worn in thick places almost as clothes, and thin places are translucent. Fortunately, there are not many large holes like last time. "Why are there so uneven thickness?"

"Your Highness, this is not cooked thoroughly." Xiang Sheng is a fat man, and he still doesn't know the meaning of paper. "If you cook it again, the hemp will be pulp, and it will not be like this anymore." After he said that, he took out another piece of paper, "Your Highness, please see, this is something that the villain has just caught and has not yet dried."

The wet paper presented by the roe is indeed evenly thick and thin. Although the paper is not white, it is exactly the same as the paper in Xiong Jing’s memory.

"Serious". He nodded in praise and asked again: "How is the printing process? It won't be blurred, right?"

"Your Highness, Yu Mansion is still good at engravings." Xiang Geng explained.

Papermaking can be made into paper as long as it is alkali boiled. It does not mean that it can become movable type if it has lead. Although lead is called lead, it is not actually completely lead, and there is antimony inside. Xiong Jing didn't know this, but even if he knew it, he couldn't find antimony, so the movable type he made still does not contain antimony. The characteristic of lead is thermal expansion and cold shrinkage, and some of the printed characters are blurred and difficult to distinguish. The characteristic of antimony is thermal shrinkage and cold expansion. When added, it just offsets the lead, so the handwriting is clear. Since the effect of lead characters is not good, try the wooden characters.

"Have not been carved yet?" Zaofu is Zaofu, and Yufu is Yufu, which is a completely different unit.

"Yes, Your Highness." said Wang Geng, "Yu Mansion said it was grinding...the mirror, and Sima Mansion was urging him to hurry."

"Well. I know this." Xiong Jing nodded. The visual telegraph line barely built a line, but the telescope was limited, and the crystals of the whole country were concentrated in Yufu and then they were polished. The support of the visual telegraph network is the telescope. The telegraph network is currently planning to build five lines, Chu Qin, Chu Wei, Chu Qi, Jiangdong and Dongting, with a range of more than 1,55 kilometers, and at least one hundred telescopes are needed. In addition, the number of military combat, passes, and city defense needs may reach four or five hundred, which is enough for the Yufu to work in a year.

"Your Highness," Xiong Jing was thinking about the number of telescopes, and Naojiu came quickly. After he finished speaking, he shook his beard and said angrily: "The message is a military and national affairs. Ling Yin insisted on saying that the post station belongs to Ling Yin's mansion and refused to give it to our Sima Mansion."

The Grand Mansion and Lingyin's Mansion were completely separated, and there were constant disputes, and the post station was one of them. Xiong Jingqi said: "Teacher, does Lingyin want to drive your subordinates out of the messaging station?"

"Never." In fact, Naojiu wanted to drive the people from Lingyin's mansion out of the messaging station. "It's just that the secret texts in the army are integrated. How can we get involved with Lingyin's mansion? What if theft is caused to mislead our military situation? "

"It's true." The cipher text is the codebook. Although it's just a series of numbers, it's dangerous to leak it. Xiong Jing said: "Teacher, don't worry, there are already drafts for the messaging station style, and the cipher text in the army is foolproof."

The Telegram Network was created by Xiong Jing, and he believed it because he said it was foolproof. Thinking that the matter he was worried about was solved by the student's words, he felt a little at a loss. He didn't want to make the teacher too embarrassed, Xiong Jing suggested: "Since the teacher is here, please go and have a look at Jutie together."

"No." Jutieng is more important than messaging networks and telescopes. Since there is no worries about communication, you should naturally go and check out Jutieng.

At the end of the Warring States Period, because the Wu and Yue craftsmen were still there, the iron smelting technique of Chu did not completely lag behind the six kingdoms, but was a little worse than that of Yan. But in this era, the quality of Yan iron ore, whether the iron ore comes from Yanshan or Liaodong, was better than that of Chu. Because of the existence of Tonglu Mountain, most of the raw ore of Chu iron smelting came from Daye. Hanyang Iron Plant has proved that Daye iron ore contains sulfur and too much phosphorus, so the quality of pig iron is not as good as that of Yan, nor is it as pig iron produced from the small iron ore of Yuedi.

It is not economical to place iron in Yingdu if it is really necessary to make large-scale iron smelting. As Xiong Jing knows about the consumption of iron smelting coal, the iron plant must be placed next to the coal mine, and then it can be built to facilitate hydraulic blowing and hydraulic forging. Finally, it is a strategic consideration - the reservoir is difficult to build. If the Qin army attacks, it cannot be blown up in more than ten years, right? The iron plant cannot be set up in Yingdu, but the steel plant can be set up in Yingdu. Now the steel plant is built by the steel plant.

The iron smelting area is adjacent to the shed, and the casting furnace produces smoke. Perhaps who passed the news? When Xiong Han and Naojiu arrived, the iron officer and the craftsman were already waiting. Naojiu was impatient, and he did not be polite to these people and quickly walked into the shed. Only then did he find that there was nothing good inside. The iron smelting furnace did not even have fire, but only saw black charcoal on the ground.

"Reported to the Grand Sima: the iron-transforming furnace has not been completed, so it has not been cremated." Tieguan is a doctor, a native of Wandi (Nanyang), and is a man from Confucius.

He was naturally disappointed if he couldn't see Ju Tie Naojiu. He said, "Will you not see Ju Tie?"
