In the blind kingdom, one-eyed one is the king.

Zhang Qian actually only knows some basic knowledge about assembly line production organization and management. However, this little detail is enough for him to deceive the ancients who have never had any concept of assembly line.

What's more, while working hard to reduce the production costs of windmills and wells, he also spent a lot of effort on how to form the assembly line of these two powerful tools.

"The windmill and the well are both huge in size and inconvenient to transport. However, the core components are less than one-quarter of the size of the whole. Therefore, the first step for Weichen is to distinguish the periphery and the core." He grabbed the brush handed over by the eunuchs and roughly drew a sketch of "the combination of the windmill and the well" on a large roll of spread out white paper. He pointed to the base and the shell part and explained with a smile.

Everyone, including Emperor Li Xian, could not understand it. They frowned and stroked their beards, and couldn't say a word to respond.

"The base, set-top, four walls and frame supporting the windmill are all included for local people and craftsmen to build by themselves. The materials and labor are added, and each rack costs less than two hangings!" I had expected everyone to react like this, so I used a brush to hook the outer part, and Zhang Qian slowly replenished it.

Most people still had dark eyes, but Wu Qiu, the chief clerk of Dushui Supervisor, lit up instantly. The eight waters of Chang'an City are surrounded by eight waters, and the "Dushui Supervisor" needs to build various large and small projects in various parts of the capital every year, which are added up to hundreds. If some of the equipment and components that do not need to be made too fine can be outsourced to local governments and gentry, those little sesame officials who really work in Dushui Supervisor can save a lot of effort.

As for outsourcing, you cannot just be qualified to cover it, or you cannot cost two hangs, just give the other party two hangs. With the quality assurance, there are more places to do this here!

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Zhang Qian slowly add: "After all the peripheral parts are included in the place, there are only twenty-seven core parts left. If you only do one set, you need two carpenters, three blacksmiths, and ten apprentices. You can complete it in about seven days. But if you do more, for example, more than two hundred sets..."

"Practice makes perfect! I understand. Let them concentrate on doing it, and the faster they do it at the end!" Hu Nan, the head of the Ministry of Industry, had experience in making instruments, and couldn't help but laugh and clapped his hands hard.

There were countless people around him immediately glaring at him, scaring him so much that he quickly clasped his fists to everyone and apologized, and then quickly lowered his head.

Practice makes perfect, and it can indeed reduce labor costs. However, from making one set in seven days to making one set in four days, all you save is three days of wages and meals, and it is impossible to cut off half of the total cost.

Since Zhang Zhubu said so confidently, he would definitely come up with a more clever way, and would gradually become more experienced without simply relying on craftsmen.

Sure enough, before everyone could take their eyes off Hu Nan, the head of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Qian had already picked up his pen and quickly drew the twenty-seven core parts on the paper in order according to the size.

While drawing, he explained with a smile: "The core components can be divided into precision components and ordinary components. Precision components such as gears, transmission wheels, and transmission rods must be made by Dagong. Other ordinary components, such as bamboo tubes, water storage buckets, cowhide pads, etc., are enough for apprentices, and they can even be purchased from the outside according to the standards and graphics. The key is that the size and accuracy of the same component must be exactly the same, and Zhang calls it standardization!"

"Well, that's natural!" Everyone's eyes began to shiny one after another, and they stroked their beards or their chins without beards and nodded slightly.

"Whether precision components or ordinary components are built by themselves. After setting standards, one component must be specially completed by the same group of people. Those who make gears, from morning to night, make the same gear. Those who make transmission rods, from morning to night, make the same transmission rods, from morning to night, make the same blades. Even the processes can be further refined. The sand molds are only responsible for making sand molds. Those who cast rough blanks are only responsible for casting rough blanks. In this way, the number of craftsmen and apprentices needs to be increased by three times. The production quantity can be increased by more than ten times. In the same seven days, two hundred sets of core components can be easily completed. If there are thousands or ten thousand sets of sets, you can save more time and wages!"

"Ah," someone exclaimed in a low voice, then took out the tablet for court from his sleeve, borrowed a brush from the eunuch, and quickly recorded it on it. Some people lowered their heads and thought, and then emitted a gleam in their eyes.

At this moment, most of the people present were some "technical" sesame officials from Qingshuiya. The positions they were in were basically ignored by those who bought officials. Therefore, the IQs of everyone present today were basically above the passing line.

Zhang Qian's explanation method is full of pictures and texts. Therefore, it took almost no time to consume. Most of the people present calculated the approximate cost savings by using the "assembly line" method.

If you only build ten sets of eight sets of windmills and wells, and assembled line production methods, it will only increase the cost significantly and cannot be reduced in a slightest amount. However, if you build more than 30 sets in one go, the cost will be roughly the same as the original method. If you produce more than 100 sets, the cost can be greatly reduced. If you produce two hundred, three hundred or even five hundred sets in one go, the cost can be reduced by more than 50%!

"Central the core components and manufacture them, transport them to the local area, then install and debug according to the drawings. Because the standards of each component are exactly the same, if the components are damaged, you only need to remove them and replace them with a spare one. There is no need to rebuild the entire windmill and well." As if you were afraid that everyone's surprise was not great enough, Zhang Qian's words continued to come, and every sentence made his eyes brighter.

"Just, where do so many craftsmen come from in the place?" Only Lu Zhengming, the Minister of Personnel, knew clearly that he was sure to lose, but he couldn't help but admit his mistakes. He gritted his teeth and picked the bones from the eggs.

"If the county town is not enough, there must be a prefecture. If the prefecture is not enough, there must be a place where the governor's office is located!" Zhang Qian thought about it and immediately gave the answer, "In fact, Zhang did not recommend that every county town find craftsmen to make this thing, but the local area is only responsible for building the periphery, and concentrate the core components in the prefecture and the governor's office. Even in Chang'an, Luoyang, Gusu and other places with convenient water transportation. Only in this way can hundreds of windmills and wells be concentrated and built in a unified manner. The government will contribute the honor of the emperor to the world."

Fearing that Li Xian was reluctant to allocate funds from the treasury, he thought about it, and then he picked up a pen and drought near the windmill's sketch and drought. "The wonderful use of windmills is not just about drawing water. When the flood and drought are alleviated, the windmill can also be used to drive the millsill and mill rice noodles. If the rice is crushed for two cents each time, it will not take a year. The government can recover all its expenses and may even achieve a slight surplus!"

"This..." Zhang Qian's wild thinking was slightly stunned. Then, 99% of the people present, including Li Xian, had a ray of excitement in their eyes.

Indeed, like all dynasties, the Tang Dynasty implemented the national policy of focusing on agriculture and neglecting commerce. However, the Emperor Li Xian of the Tang Dynasty and the officials present suffered from the emptiness of the national treasury.

Especially the group of "technical bureaucrats" who were summoned to participate in the pursuit of the North Korea tonight have to endure countless difficulties in order to get some funds every year. The "investment-return" model launched by Zhang Qian today undoubtedly opened a window in front of them!

Since windmills and wells can be combined, and they can recover costs for the people when they are idle, can they build a windmill to make money by driving grinding wheels? If investing in windmills and grinding wheels can make money, can the court adopt the same model in the future to create other equipment that is beneficial to people's livelihood?

If each supervisory authority and office every year can earn a hundred hangs and a thousand hangs of copper coins, who will have to go to the Ministry of Revenue to beg your grandfather to sue your grandmother? Everyone can make their wallets full through serious means. Why should anyone try every means to take the risk of embezzling that little public money?!

"Qin Fa, this is Qin Fa! Zhang Zhubu, what's your intention to use Qin Fa to deceive Your Majesty?" Just as everyone was happy, Lu Zhengming's shouting came to his ears again. It was ten times more annoying than a stupid dog barking the sun.

"Indeed, the Qin Dynasty used similar methods to manufacture weapons. It was just not so detailed!" Since he called himself the successor of Qin Mo, Zhang Qian of course put some effort into the history and rumors of the Qin Dynasty in his spare time. At this moment, when he heard Lu Zhengming actually talk about Qin's law, he immediately smiled and admitted it calmly.

Ignoring the shock in the other party's eyes, he paused, and quickly added, "But, the same book and the same car are the same track, it is also the Qin method. Building a road to connect the Jiuzhou is still the Qin method. Even the official system of the Tang Dynasty cannot escape the shadow of the official system of the Qin Dynasty. Although the Qin method is cool, it is not all evil methods. What's more, the Tang Dynasty just chooses the good and gets rid of the evil!"

He was really tired of continuing to be entangled by the surname Lu. Before this person could start to pick on him, he added loudly: "What is a good strategy? Zhang thought that all strategies that build a country and benefit the people were good strategies. Even if they came from the Qin and Han dynasties, they could be learned. What's more, the land under you and me was originally Qin territory. If you hate everything in Qin, you will abandon it. The capital of the Tang Dynasty should be in Luoyang, not Chang'an!"

"You, you..." Lu Zhengming couldn't find a suitable word to refute, and his beard was so angry that he trembled and his eyes were black.

However, few of the "technical bureaucrats" around him sympathized with him. They all smiled and added icing on the cake. "The assembly line manufacturing technique offered by Zhang Zhubu can not only be used in windmills and wells, but also in various objects created by the Ministry of Industry every year, can actually use this technique!"

"The key to military weapons is military weapons. If you use this technique, the cost of armor, helmets, bows, crossbows, swords, spears and other objects can also be reduced by half!"

"Not only save costs, you can also replace the same parts at any time. Especially for driving, you can save a lot of time every time you repair it!"

...

"Well!" Although the Emperor of Yingtian Shenlong Li Xian was an unintelligent person, there was no suspense in the argument tonight. So, he happily stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "Zhang Qing is really knowledgeable and talented, and there is such a magical technique that benefits the country and the people in his heart! Very good, very good. Recently, Dushuiguan reported to me that there are many autumn rains around the capital, and the Imperial Heavenlyguan warned me that more wind and rain will come soon. I will follow the wonderful method you have presented to the general supervisor to start work immediately, build 500 windmills and wells, and hand it over to Dushuiguan to relieve the floods in the capital. If the trial results are good, it will be promoted nationwide next year!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" The sesame officials from Dushui Prison and the Imperial Heaven Prison bowed together. The expressions on everyone's faces were filled with joy and relaxation.

"I am here to thank the people of the capital for your kindness!" The flower sedan chair lifted people. Seeing Zhang Qian reaching the peak of the sky, those little sesame officials who had previously waited with him to join the pursuit of the court also bowed to Li Xian to help create an atmosphere.

The Emperor of Yingtian Divine Dragon Li Xian was photographed so comfortable. Immediately, in his heart, he raised the reward that he had originally been given to Zhang Qian by a greater level. However, before he could make a speech, the Taipu Qing Ji Chune suddenly covered his mouth with his hand and coughed softly, "Cough cough, cough cough, cough..."

Immediately, a small eunuch rushed over and helped the man knock his back to clear his blood. Standing near the door, a man in the clothes of the censor quickly stepped out, "Sir, I supervise the censor Jiang An, impeach the chief clerk of the Military Arts and Gunpowder Office, Zhang Qian, colluded with local officials and forged his resume. Please be aware of it!"

"Why is it not over yet?" The "technical bureaucrats" around them glared at Jiang An. The Emperor of Yingtian Shenlong Li Xian also frowned tightly.

It is normal for factional disputes in the court. As an emperor, sometimes he hopes that the court officials will divide them into several factions and challenge each other to make it easier for him to drive the ministers to work hard.

But everything has to be done. Today, Li Xian, the emperor, has signaled many times to reuse Zhang Qian. Some people are constantly jumping out to stop him, so they are too unwilling to take the imperial power seriously.

Moreover, as the Taipuqing, Ji Chune repeatedly attacked a small eighth-rank chief clerk, which was a bit ignorant of his identity and was too contrary to common sense.

However, the censor Jiang An, knew that he might have been angry with the public, insisted on not turning back. He took a few steps forward and continued to add loudly, "As far as I know, Zhang Zhubu came out of the deep mountains more than three months ago. However, he settled in Weinan and became the same clan of Duke Zou. This matter is really incredible. The court should investigate the various frauds behind it and will never tolerate it."

"Well? Lu Qing, is there any such thing?" Li Xian only knew that Zhang Qian was born from a Mo family, but he didn't know that he had bought a fake household registration. Suspicious illness broke out again. He looked at Lu Zhengming, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and his eyes were as cold as two steel knives.

'You are a terrifying Ji Chune! Lu worked tirelessly for you, but you stabbed Lu in the back!' Lu Zhengming shivered and in an instant, he greeted the eight generations of his ancestors who remembered Chune in his heart.

If Zhang Qian's identity was forged, in addition to his own difficulties in escaping severe punishment, the Ministry of Personnel would also have to suffer a lot of trouble. After all, Zhang Qian was ordered to be appointed as the chief clerk of the Military Arts Supervision Gunpowder Office for the recommendation of the Ministry of Personnel.

Regardless of whether the Ministry of Personnel had received favorable advice at that time, it was their responsibility to basically assess the qualifications of the official. They could not just go through a formality and let Zhang Qian sneak into the official team!

Just as Lu Zhengming was anxious, Zhang Jiuling, the Minister of Personnel, stood up very righteously, "The complaint from Your Majesty, Jiang An's accusation is not true. Zhang Zhuan came out of the mountain three months ago, and this matter is true. However, the procedures for his settlement in Weinan are clear."

"Hmm?" Li Xian's idea changed again and again. He frowned and looked at Zhang Jiuling, waiting for him to continue to make more detailed additions.

Zhang Jiuling was well prepared and did not panic at all. He changed his breath and continued to add, "This summer, Your Majesty once issued an order to amnesty the world and let refugees settle their homes on the spot, not limited to the people of the Tang Dynasty. Many Goguryeo, thundering and cannibalism were deeply favored by this policy. Zhang Zhuzhu was just one of them. The Weishi had personally checked the documents he had settled at that time, and each of them was exactly the same as the registration procedures given to others by the government!"

This is Zhang Jiuling's cleverness. He has been practicing at the grassroots level for many years. As early as when Zhang Qian became the chief clerk, he realized that the latter's identity would be a hidden big trouble. So he simply sent someone down secretly, and without knowing it, he sorted out the entire registration procedures from beginning to end.

In this way, it is true that Zhang Qian is still the same clan as Duke Zou, and his two cheap brothers are still his cheap brothers. However, what he followed when he entered the family was not the deceased third-year-old Zhang family, but became the implementation of the court's policy of resettling refugees!

The court was willing to make a fuss about Goguryeo, the cavalry, and even the people who ran to the Tang Dynasty to make a living in the surrounding countries, and regularly allowed them to agree to the conditions (rich, some people protect them) to leave their Tang Dynasty household registration by marrying into a marriage and worshiping relatives. Zhang Qian was a Chinese citizen who was just a fake one, so why couldn't he get into it? From this perspective, the accusation of the Censor Jiang An tonight was simply aimless. It was not worth refuting at all, nor was it worthy of attention from the court!

Immediately, the eighty and nine-rank sesame officials all breathed a sigh of relief! Zhang Qian himself was shocked and looked at Zhang Jiuling with gratitude in his eyes.

It just depends on whether Bi Gou can be brought back to Chang'an and re-activated. Ji Chune easily refused to admit defeat, so Jiang An, his minion, could only continue to bite Zhang Qian.

When he found that he failed to hit the attack, the man immediately changed his position and said, "Even if the procedures are in line with the procedures, he still cannot explain the origin of Zhang Zhubu and the purpose of coming out of the mountain. Your Majesty, Qin Mo is the master of Qin. He did not leave the mountain early or late, but he only came out of the mountain at this moment. What is his intention? Please think twice!"

"Hmm?" Li Xian's brows that had just been released frowned again. He looked at Zhang Qian, and hesitated, and was unstable.

Through some of the words and deeds tonight, I found that Li Xian was suspicious and fickle. At this moment, Zhang Qian didn't feel any depression or grievance. He smiled and took the initiative to bow to the Yushu Censor: "Your Majesty, what Censor Jiang said is not completely accurate. In fact, after the Qin State was destroyed, I, Qin Mo, sent someone out of the mountain once. It was precisely because of what I saw and heard from that time that I, Qin Mo, fell completely silent from then on and no longer wanted to talk about the world!"

"Why?" Li Xian's thoughts were immediately attracted by the story told by Zhang Qian, and he even took the initiative to ask questions regardless of the emperor's majesty.

"That time I came out of the mountain, Juzi of the previous generation heard a sentence. Those who violated the power of our great man will be punished even if they are far away!" Zhang Qian sighed deliberately, and then his voice quickly turned higher.

"At that time, people were proud of being the Han people, and they could no longer remember a single piece of Qin. What can I do if my Mo family has the ability?! The Han family at that time was the world's most powerful country, the Huns and Di Di, all flew away one after another. Who dared to go against the will of heaven? The Han people at that time accepted the talents of the six countries in the past, had clear politics, and were rich in the people of the people of the country. It was a prosperous era that my Mo family had been pursuing generations of Juzi and had been pursuing trouble because of their mistreatment of the King of Qin. What's more, the Mo family's love for both the world is to love all the people of the world. If they don't love the Ying family, how could they abandon their righteousness and lose their roots and chase the end because of their private grace?!"

"Yeah!" Li Xian nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and the suspicion on his face faded away, and instead he was getting more and more appreciative.

"Your Majesty, although I have only been to the Tang Dynasty for a few months, I have seen the Fire Cult, the Cross Cult and the Crescent Cult temples in Chang'an City. They are less than ten feet apart from the temples and Taoist temples, but they are each on their own. Such wonders are impossible in the rest of the world!" Zhang Qian smiled at him and continued to talk. (Note, the Fire Cult, that is, the Zoroastrian Church. If you don't want to cause trouble, other religions also use pseudonyms.)

"I once saw Persians, Japanese, Goguryeo, Khitans, and busy people on the streets of Chang'an. I talked about Tang Dynasty words, wearing Tang shirts, and eating and living, just like the people of my Tang Dynasty. I also saw that vendors traveled thousands of miles to transport all kinds of treasures from the world to the Tang Dynasty just to earn a treasure of my Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan Tongbao."

In recent days, Zhang Qian has not been paid attention to by the world. At the same time, he is also paying attention to every tree and grass in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, when he tells it, his voice and emotion are lush, making people feel as if they are there.

"I have seen that all countries are poor and have no place to stand, or are harmed by their governments and bullies, so they risk their lives to come to the Tang Dynasty, hoping to have a full meal and a pillow for a night. This prosperous era is not only not seen by the Mohist family in history, but also the great rule of the Mohist classics! I ask, I have never eaten a bite of rice or a cup of water in Qin. Why do I ruin this prosperous era and miss Ying Qin who has nothing to do with him?"

"Yes!" Ninety-nine percent of the people in the Zichen Hall, including Li Xian, proudly straightened their bodies, and felt extremely shiny on their faces.

Zhang Qian said that he had heard from Chang'an City, and the rest of the Tang Dynasty certainly did not meet this standard. However, who can deny that as long as Emperor Li Xian works hard to govern and as long as the ministers perform their duties, all parts of the world will not become another Chang'an?

And Zhang Qian also spoke more and more casually, and the more he spoke more and more and more: "Your Majesty, there are words in the Book of Documents, and tolerance is great. The reason why our Tang Dynasty was the Tang Dynasty was because it was magnificent and all-encompassing. And the more our Tang Dynasty had the spirit of accepting the world's knowledge for oneself and taking the talents of the world for oneself to drive it, the more prosperous the national strength of our Tang Dynasty was!"

"For three months, I have seen that no matter what sutra the monks in the world read, as long as they ask God to bless the people of the Tang Dynasty, the government will let them go."

"I see that as long as the wealth and goods in the world can benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty, they will be used by our Tang Dynasty!"

"I see that as long as the talented people in the world are willing to serve the Tang Dynasty, even if he was born in Goguryeo, Turks, and Turkic cavalry, our Tang Dynasty would treat them with high officials and generous salaries."

"I also see that all the people in the world, as long as he is willing to wear Tang clothes and speak Tang words, come to the land of the Tang Dynasty, and obey the laws and customs of the Tang Dynasty, my Tang Dynasty will regard it as a shelter from the people!" "Who doesn't want to live in such a great Tang Dynasty? Who dares to destroy it in such a prosperous era? Who doesn't want to witness it in his own eyes and protect it in his own eyes?" Taking a deep breath, Zhang Qian moved his eyes away from Li Xian's excited face and turned to Zhang Jiuling, Hu Nan, Wang Jun, Jiang Ziyong, and even the stunned Lu Zhengming and Jiang An.

"More than five hundred years have passed since the Han Dynasty. The people in the world still call themselves Han people. The Sergei Hu still pretends to be Liu! Zhang was lucky to come to the Tang Dynasty and was full of prosperity, and he was even more grateful to God!"

"So, Zhang is willing to work with you in this life for the Tang Dynasty! Zhang is willing to work with you in this life to protect the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Let everyone on this land, even if they travel thousands of miles to the country, regard themselves as the Tang Dynasty and be proud of the Tang Dynasty!"

After saying that, he clasped his fists with his hands, first bowed to Li Xian, and then to the people around him!

In an instant, there was silence in Zichen Hall. Then, applause and cheers alternated, as if they were surging.

Everyone present, including Ji Chune, who was determined to block Zhang Qian and return to the court, had his face flushed and danced!

At that moment, the night breeze was like wine, making everyone drunk.
