Chapter five hundred and forty third family come to Beijing
There is something happening today, two chapters are integrated into one.≥≯≯
"Will that material be enough?"
"Enough materials." Kang Dahe replied affirmatively.
Luo Xin thought for a moment and said, "Master Kang, the senior official has come up with a way that should improve the efficiency of making bows and arrows and crossbows. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty on time."
Kang Daewoo's eyes leaped with excitement and said, "You can tell me quickly if you can do it. If you can do it, I will definitely remember your kindness today."
Luo Xin said modestly: "Your Madam, don't be so polite. I think so. I just heard from the adult that nowadays, craftsmen make a bow, from making bow strings to making bow bodies, all the way to horns, mixing, combinations, etc. are all done by one person. In the eyes of the officials, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The officials have a plan. Can we divide the craftsmen in the Military Equipment Department into five groups, each group is responsible for only one step. One group is responsible for making bow strings, and the other group is responsible for making bow bodies, which means dividing the five steps into five groups. This not only saves time, but also saves only one job, and will only become more and more proficient, so the efficiency will be greatly improved."
Kang Dahe's eyes lit up. Although as the Minister of Works, although he was not very good at making military weapons, he often inspected the Military Equipment Department and saw the process of making military weapons. Take the production of bows as an example. In this process, the craftsmen could only squat aside and watch the heat, and did not dare to leave at all. If they were not careful, they would destroy a pot of adhesive. This process would take more than an hour, which would waste an hour. This is just one of them, and other items also have similar situations.
But the assembly line is different. Each group has a special task. The entire step flows, and there is no waste of time at all. This efficiency is not as simple as double or twice.
Kang Dahe was calculating there silently, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. He was sure that even though his efficiency was not as fast as he imagined, it was definitely much faster than now.
Moreover, Luo Xin is just an example of the bow and arrow. This method can also be used on the crossbow cart. I don’t know whether the bow and arrow can be completed on time, but he thinks that the task of the crossbow cart can be completed.
Thinking of this, Kang Dahe actually gave Luo Xin a thumbs up:
"I am a god without a weapon!"
Luo Xin showed a look of embarrassment on his face, but he was also shocked. He originally thought that people in this era would not understand the benefits of assembly lines. If Kang Dahe wanted to accept his own method, he might have to talk. However, he did not expect that Kang Dahe accepted his advice after thinking for a moment, which made Luo Xin deeply admire Kang Dahe's wisdom. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"The ancients were not simple either. They just didn't want it. Once they raised their heads, they would fully understand it. Being able to sit in the position of Minister of Works is indeed a wise man."
In this way, the two began to discuss in detail the assembly line plan for making bows and arrows and crossbows. Later, Kang Dahe called more than a dozen craftsmen to study together. These craftsmen were all professionals. After hearing Luo Xin's explanation, their eyes lit up and they actively participated.
After the constitution was formed, Kang Dahe and Luo Xin gathered all the craftsmen together, and then divided the people who made bows and arrows and crossbows into several parts, and began assembly line production.
It was already dusk. Kang Dahe looked at the sky and asked the craftsmen to familiarize themselves with the working methods of the assembly line first, while he and Luo Xin lived in the Military Equipment Department.
Kang Dahe's anxious mood was slightly relieved, and he was in a while, so he arranged the food and drinks with Luo Xin, and the relationship between the two quickly heated up.
The next morning, the two hurried to the workshop and began to urge the craftsmen. For five days, both of them lived and lived in military weapons, but the two of them were not tired at all, but were energetic. This was because the efficiency of making bows and arrows and crossbows was reflected.
On the first day, the craftsmen were not very adaptable to the assembly line, but even so, they made two thousand bows and ninety crossbows in a day, which definitely exceeded the previous work efficiency.
The next day, the craftsmen began to become familiar with the assembly line, and the effect was quickly reflected.
The next day, two thousand one hundred bows and one hundred and five crossbows were made.
On the third day, the craftsmen became more skilled and more confident. In a whole day, they actually made 2,300 bows and 120 crossbows.
On the fourth and fifth days, there were more bows and crossbows and chariots made. Kang Dahe and Luo Xin calculated that they could not only complete the tasks assigned by Emperor Jiajing within ten days, but also complete the tasks. This made Kang Dahe smile every day and no longer have a trace of anxiety.
On the fifth night, Kang Dahe, who was completely relieved, organized a table of hearty wine and dishes to drink with Luo Xin. Kang Dahe picked up the wine glass and said seriously:
"No, you have really helped me a lot. If you have any problems in the future, I will tell you, and I will definitely not refuse."
Luo Xin was delighted in his heart. This was the first person he had formed an alliance after entering the court. He immediately picked up the wine glass and said with a smile:
"You are kind to you. You and I work in the Ministry of Works. To help you is just helping me."
"Miao Ye!" Kang Dahe waved his hand and said, "You came to the Ministry of Works to make firearms, so you did help me a lot. You are humble, but I remember it in my heart. Come on, I will not say anything, please."
"please!"
The two of them picked up their glasses and clinked them, drank them all, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"No, you and I have been here for five days. There is no need to stay there anymore. We will go back to the capital tomorrow."
"It depends on the arrangements of the adults."
Day 6.
Luo Xin and Kang Dahe were about to leave the Military Weapons, and Jiang Songgong sent the two out of the gate. Luo Xin glanced at Jiang Song, then turned to Kang Dahe and said:
"Mr. Kang, Lord Jiang has helped me a lot these days. After this, please remember my merits for Lord Jiang."
Jiang Song's body was buzzing, and his eyes looked at Luo Xin were full of gratitude. Kang Dahe glanced at Jiang Song and nodded and said:
"Mr. Jiang, Lord Luo and I will leave it to you here. As long as there is no mistake, after this matter is done, you will definitely take your position one level."
"Mr. Xie Kang, Lord Xie Luo." Jiang Song said excitedly: "The official must do his best."
After returning to the capital, Luo Xin went home and took a shower, hurried to the Hanlin Academy and came directly to the database. As soon as he entered the database, he saw Zhou Yu, Xu Shixing and Zhang Xun not revising the "History of Yuan Dynasty", but were sitting there, full of worry, Luo Xin couldn't help but say in his heart:
"What's wrong? But something went wrong with the revision of "History of Yuan Dynasty"?"
When the three of them saw Luo Xin, their faces appeared joyful, and they stood up and said, "No, you are back."
Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you re-revise the "History of Yuan Dynasty"?"
The three of them looked at each other, then sighed neatly, and finally Zhou Yu spoke:
"Not minded."
"What happened?"
After the four of them sat down, Zhou Yu poured a cup of tea for Luo Xin and said worriedly:
“The situation in the north is very bad now!”
Luo Xin looked shocked and said, "Mr. Ma should have arrived in Datong, right?"
"It should be here!" Xu Shixing nodded and said, "On the second day after Lord Ma left the capital, there was a war report back. The grassland people attacked the city day and night, and the border troops suffered serious losses and were not enough military weapons. They attacked the city several times. Although they were finally beaten back, from the war report, there was a feeling of despair. I wonder if Lord Ma would revitalize the morale of the army after he arrived. Now the court is waiting for the war report sent back by Lord Ma."
"This is just one aspect!" Zhang Xun said: "After the war in the north, the Japanese pirates in the southeast also began to attack in large numbers. The southeast region was in ruins, and there were countless bandits who were also in a big way. If the court could not quickly repel the Mongolian army of northern herbal medicines, the Ming Dynasty would probably be in chaos."
Luo Xin frowned tightly, and sighed for a long time: "We cannot decide these things. We will handle them by our own cabinet. You should focus on revision of the "History of Yuan Dynasty".
When Luo Xin talked about "History of Yuan Dynasty", Zhang Xun bowed to Luo Xin and said, "Thank you for your recommendation to Your Majesty, so that Ziyu has this opportunity."
Luo Xin waved his hand and looked solemn. Everyone knew that Luo Xin's mind was not here, so they couldn't help but feel silent. After a moment, Zhou Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows and said:
"No, why didn't your Majesty send you to the north?"
Zhang Xun and Xu Shixing also lit up their eyes and looked at Luo Xin suddenly. The great victory that the north had won was all achieved by Luo Xin. So they were all a little puzzled. Why didn’t Emperor Jiajing send Luo Xin to Datong? Luo Xin shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty must have his plans."
"No, I heard you went to the Ministry of Works to serve as the military weapon supervisor?"
"Well, it's just temporary, mainly to make some firearms for the Datong border army."
When Zhou Yu and his three eyes shone with light when they heard the firearm.
"No, with firearms, you should be able to defend Datong, right?"
"I don't know!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "But it will definitely have a certain effect. But now it is not a problem of maintaining Datong. As you said, if you cannot defeat Huang Taiji quickly, the entire Ming Dynasty would probably be in chaos."
"Okay, let's not talk about this!" Luo Xin sighed and asked, "How much has the re-education of "History of Yuan Dynasty" been rebuilt?"
Zhou Yu and the other two showed wry smiles on their faces and said, "I haven't moved much these days. I don't have any intentions!"
The four of them fell silent again. For about half a quarter of an hour, footsteps sounded outside the door, and then knocked on the door. Luo Xin, who was sitting near the door, stood up and opened the door at the door. Then he saw a clerk standing outside. When he saw Luo Xin, he said:
"Mr. Luo, you are indeed here. There is your follower outside to ask for your visit."
Luo Xinwen was stunned when he heard this. Now there were only two followers around him, one was Lu Zhonglian and the other was Liang Dazhu. Liang Dazhu went to Yanglin County, and Lu Zhonglian stayed in the mansion. Is this a matter in the mansion, or is Liang Dazhu back?
If Liang Dazhu came back, wouldn’t it mean that his parents and teachers had entered Beijing? He immediately thanked the clerk and hurried towards the gate of the Hanlin Academy.
When he arrived at the gate, he saw Liang Dazhu standing outside the gate. Luo's face was just overjoyed, and he walked in front of Liang Dazhu in a few steps. Liang Dazhu hurriedly bowed to Luo Xin and said:
"The Marquis, the Master and the Old Lady have already entered Beijing, and the Marquis's teacher has also brought his family to Beijing. The Master and the Old Lady have both moved into Luo Mansion, and the Marquis' teacher has moved into the 6 mansions."
Luo Xin nodded and said, "Let's go back."
"Please, Marquis!"
Now Luo Xin has entered the Hanlin Academy. As a literati, he usually does not ride a horse in the capital. Liang Dazhu has prepared a sedan chair. Luo Xin sat in the sedan chair. Liang Dazhu turned over and hurried towards Luo Mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw the servants in the mansion busy, with all kinds of luggage piled up everywhere. When all the servants of the Luo family saw Luo Xin, they all looked at him with respect and surprise.
Everyone knows that Luo Xin was no longer an idle marquis at this time, but a real official in the court. Although he was only a sixth-rank official, don’t forget that this is just Luo Xin’s first entry into the court and his starting position was a sixth-rank official. This is already a very high start. Today, the top scholar in the subject and traveling to the Hanlin Academy, his future prospects are limitless.
What is the Luo family’s background?
He was just a farmer, but because Luo Xin came from the barren Yanglin County to the center of the Ming Dynasty and became a nobleman. Not to mention Luo Xin's family, even these servants had a lot of wealth because of Luo Xin.
"Greetings to the Marquis!"
"Hulala" a group of servants knelt down, but Luo Xin just nodded quickly and walked towards the main hall.
The main hall door was open, and maids were in and out from time to time. Before they could enter the main hall, Luo Xin saw Luo Ping and his wife sitting in the main hall, as well as their sister-in-law.
Seeing Luo Xin walk in, everyone is stunned for a moment. At this time, Luo Xin was wearing a sixth-grade green official, and there was a hint of majesty on his young face.
Looking at Luo Xin standing in front of him, Luo Ping and his wife slowly climbed on their faces.
This is your own son!
"Letter!"
Finally, Luo stood up excitedly and walked towards Luo Xin.
"mother!"
Luo Xin also took two steps and stood in front of Luo. Luo extended his hand and held Luo Xin's arms, and tears flowed down his eyes. He kept saying:
"Okay! OK! OK!"
Luo Xin also came to Luo Xin at this time, his face full of pride. He wanted to say anything, but was so excited that he couldn't say anything. The sister-in-law also held her raised belly in both hands and stood happily beside Luo Xin.
Luo Xin looked at his excited parents and was so excited that he couldn't speak. Since leaving home after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it has been early August and has not seen his family for more than half a year. After a while, Luo Xin said a very unsatisfactory word.
Thank you very much for your reward!
