I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Now that I think about it, I naturally want to take a look at the new workshop dedicated to producing some ordnance that he is familiar with.

Although Empress Changsun is often in contact with some government affairs, she is cautious and never takes the initiative to mention anything. Now that Li Shimin has made a decision, she naturally chooses to obey.

In fact, for her, no matter where it is, it is the same novelty. It can even be said that even looking at flowers and plants and some exotic buildings in the palace is a novel experience for her. After all, she used to Being tied up in the Prince Qin's Mansion, and then being tied up in the palace, all of this was new to her.

There is no need for Ma Zhou to lead the way, just call Xingben out of the telegraph room to lead the way, and everything will be solved.

But the meeting between the two started when Li Shimin kicked Xingben!

Li Shimin looked at this idiot in front of him, and he couldn't get angry at all. The relationship between the two of them was really close in private, but this idiot lost his position as the commander of the imperial guards because of his lack of protection. Finally, he made an exception and sent him to Zhang Nuo, but the protection failed again, and he also lost his position as the commander of the guards of Prince Qin's Palace.

What else can this Nima say, it's just that mud can't support the wall!

To put it bluntly, this is already an extrajudicial favor from Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo, otherwise Xingben's head would have moved by now.

But seeing Xingben's unshaven appearance, Li Shimin couldn't say anything. After all, Xingben is Zhang Nuo's subordinate now, and how to deal with it is a matter of Zhang Nuo's words. Transfer Xingben back, otherwise it is impossible to oppose Zhang Nuo's decision.

So Li Shimin could only kick again angrily, and said angrily,

"My head hurts when I see you, a fool. Quickly show me the way and go to the ordnance factory. Don't say you don't know the way!"

Xingben patted the ashes on his butt indifferently, nodded with a smile, turned around and started to lead the way.

It's just that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at his slightly bent back and sighed quietly. I hope this idiot is still alive!

Chapter 609

Li Shimin suppressed some of his thoughts for the time being. Now is not the time to mention it. After all, Zhang Nuo has not seen the figure yet, and he starts to touch the people under him. It will be a bit ugly at that time.

With the ability to lead the way, wouldn't it be easy to go to an ordnance factory!

Li Shimin thought so before, but he didn't see it that way after he arrived!

If he's not mistaken, the big-eyed guy in front of him was transferred from the Xuanjia Army to protect Zhang Nuo and the important facilities here. Why did he stop him?

Could it be that this gang of bastards came to Pyongyang City and thought that I couldn't deal with him?Or do you think I don't have enough face?

At this moment, Li Shimin's fire came out of nowhere, and he rushed towards his head.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, is there still a place in the territory of the Tang Dynasty that he cannot enter?How reasonable is this?

And obviously Xingben has already revealed my identity just now, and these gangsters are all drawn from the palace guards, who doesn't know me?Actually stopped me at this moment, is this a rebellion?

Fortunately, Xingben stopped him without waiting for him to lose his temper.

"Your Majesty, this is the rule here. It was established by His Highness King Qin. Not only you, but His Highness Qin himself has to check and register every time he comes! I really didn't mean to target you!"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, then became a little annoyed,

"What is Zhang Nuo going to do? Eat enough to stay alive? Could it be that these people don't recognize me and their chief officer?"

Xingben sighed, forced a little smile and said,

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the King of Qin said that if he doesn't even follow the rules he set, others will probably be even more nonsense. He has no right to criticize others!"

Li Shimin was choked by these words, so what he said made sense!

He didn't know how to refute for a while, but felt that he was being a little unreasonable just now, which is so embarrassing.

On the contrary, Empress Changsun likes this very much. She is the kind who sets herself the example for any rules. She very much agrees with what Zhang Nuo said. Why do you ask others if you can't do it yourself?

Therefore, at such an embarrassing time, Empress Changsun had to step in. She gently took Li Shimin's hand and shook her head with a smile at him. Li Shimin blushed and knew what it meant.

Who doesn't know who the old couple is? Just now Li Shimin was just a little bit embarrassed. After all, when did Lao Li be stopped by someone who knew his identity? It was the Xuanwu Army he had transferred over by himself.

This group of people is Li Shimin's direct line of troops, and Queen Changsun is also very familiar with them. She knows that for the Xuanwu Army, the most important thing is military discipline. As long as the rules are established, they will carry out whatever they say.

Now that Zhang Nuo is their chief officer, they are required to review, inspect, and register everyone who enters, and Zhang Nuo has set an example to do so, so for Li Shimin who just arrived, this group of people will always have only one nerve in their heads For Hanhan, it is absolutely equal, and it would be strange to let it go so easily.

After Li Shimin was held by his queen's little hand, he immediately calmed down like a big wild dog being pulled by his master's leash.

After thinking about it carefully, Lao Li was really a little embarrassed, because after thinking about it, it seemed that he had no reason for this matter. This is a way of losing his temper when someone stops him. Why do he feel like making trouble with those old ladies? It looks a bit like it.

When Li Shimin thought of this, his whole body trembled, no, no, how could I be fooling around like an old woman, just now I was just in a bad mood, yes, that’s it, um, my brother said, this seems to be called getting up!

That's right, just now I got up too early, so I was a little angry at getting up, and it was definitely not unreasonable. I said this, who agrees and who opposes?

Empress Changsun stood aside and looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile, "I got up early and I was in a bad mood", "I am very satisfied with your military discipline", "You continue to work hard, I am optimistic about you", etc. It is inexplicable Heartbroken, the original majesty of my husband seems to be getting less and less, the skin is really skinny!

However, the way it is now is not bad, after all, who doesn't want their husband to be more fun and interesting? Li Shimin used to be majestic, but others don't know it, and Empress Changsun doesn't know it, so it's just pretending.

In front of his subjects, Li Shimin tried his best to look like an emperor, and he felt that that was the only way to be an emperor.

This effect is good, but it seems a little uncomfortable to Empress Changsun. After all, after the drama was overdone, Li Shimin kept a straight face even when he was in the harem.

But as a queen, she also understands Li Shimin's thoughts, so she can only support it.

But from the bottom of her heart, she certainly hoped that her husband would still be the one who could play with her, take her shopping, and tell her jokes to amuse her when she was a child.

Now it seems that under the influence of that uncle, the former husband is almost back. Although he still looks majestic outside, in front of her, he has basically returned to his original appearance.

After all, including Zhang Nuo, who doesn't know who he is, who is he pretending to be!

Li Shimin and others, who had been tossing at the door for a long time, finally entered the ordnance factory.Of course, it was Li Shimin who wasted the time. Originally a very simple process of review, inspection, and registration, since he was the emperor and also brought the queen, he had already avoided the review and inspection.

After all, there are no female guards here to check on the queen, and no one is as foolish as to check whether the queen can steal something from the ordnance factory.

But Li Shimin may be worried that his performance will become his dark history.

Therefore, he beeped in front of the Xuanwu army, and what he repeated over and over was nothing more than explaining the reason for his anger before, and his support for the Xuanwu army's practice of adhering to military discipline.

If he hadn't been so troublesome just now, they would have come in long ago.

However, Li Shimin also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Although he does not say that it is safe, at least the effect is not bad for now. Finally, he can look at the new ordnance that he has been thinking about for a long time with peace of mind. What a surprise.

Chapter 610 The Horrible Ordnance Factory

The entire Pyongyang City Ordnance Factory was indeed established because of Li Shimin's telegram. After all, there is such a large order for the Xuanwu Army to refit as a whole, which is enough for Zhang Nuo to earn a lot of money.

Not to mention the additional effects brought about by the commissioning of the entire ordnance factory, at least the sales of iron ingots of Changsun's family are getting better and better.

When he found the steward of the eldest grandson's family with that telegram, the steward of the eldest grandson's family almost knelt down for him.

Nima, the business of dressing up the army, only this master can get it from His Majesty so easily, and it seems that His Majesty asked for it.

This is of course good news for the Changsun family. After all, the Changsun family was strictly forbidden by Changsun Wuji to intervene in military affairs, because Changsun Wuji is already a very powerful minister with power in the court, and he is also His Majesty's brother-in-law. If you intervene in the affairs of the army, it will be unclear.

Therefore, in addition to selling some ironware for civilian use, the Changsun family is mainly an honest supplier of raw materials.

So as a raw material supplier, the happiest thing is to see your customers receive big orders, and what makes you happier than seeing your customers receive big orders is to receive large and stable orders.

Zhang Nuo's ordnance factory is like this now. Even if Zhang Nuo hasn't started to work on it, it's just a matter of coordinating the supply of raw materials.

After all, who in the world today doesn't know that His Highness King Qin is the person His Majesty trusts the most, and he doesn't care about the authority of the court at all.

With this person here, the steward of the grandson's family believes that even ordinary ordnance will be a little different. Will the order go to other places by then?

What's more, who is not afraid of death and dares to compete with His Highness King Qin?This is probably going to be hammered to death by His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Qin.

As long as the ordnance factory of His Royal Highness King Qin is put into operation, the production capacity of the iron mines they are currently operating can be further expanded, and at the same time, the iron ingots produced will not have to go all the way to the pass.

An ordnance factory, a railway locomotive factory, and a rail casting factory. As long as these factories are in Pyongyang, he doesn't have to worry about where the iron ingots produced will be sold.

Even if this master followed his usual habit of holding high and fighting high, it would be a problem whether his family's property was not enough.

After discussing the issue of raw material supply, Zhang Nuo also conveniently set up an ordnance factory next to the scientific research institute, and even spent nearly a month on reformation and training.

But in this way, all fools know that the ordnance factory he established cannot be such a simple small workshop.

The fact is indeed no different from what everyone imagined. The ordnance factory that appeared in front of Li Shimin at this time has completely made this emperor who thinks he knows the traditional ordnance very well, and has even personally done the forging and repairing of ordnance. Got it.

Is this an ordnance factory?

What is this rumbling about?

Who would make such a big fuss about blacksmithing?

Li Shimin walked into the ordnance factory with his head full of question marks, and not only did the previous question marks not disappear, he was completely confused at this time.

How is this completely different from the ordnance manufacturing he knows.

Of course, it's not completely different, and occasionally there are still things the same.

First of all, according to the process of ordnance manufacturing, after an iron ingot is brought from the warehouse to the production site, the first thing to do is to burn it first, and then cut it to form a rough embryo for forging, and then take it out. Finishing with the rough blank.

The above is the traditional process, but now, how does this scene look like an ordnance factory?

There was a furnace, and it was burning brightly, driven by a black blower, and the whole row of standard iron ingots was burning red.

However, this blast furnace, which is obviously larger and more powerful than the traditional blacksmith's furnace, may be the only thing that Li Shimin can recognize in traditional ordnance production.

After the red-hot iron ingot was taken out with a big iron clip, it was directly placed on a black blacksmith's table, and then the person stretched out his foot and stepped on it, and a large iron block on the top of the blacksmith's table fell down. Accurately and quickly hit the red iron ingot.

Li Shimin was stunned, shouldn't he be smashed by a high-quality blacksmith with a hammer?

What's the matter with the continuous and tireless iron blocks falling down on the top of the head.

Although Li Shimin didn't know the principle of this, he knew that this was preliminary forging. The red-hot iron ingot was forged repeatedly, and then the impurities inside were hammered out, and at the same time, the iron ingot was smashed into a rough shape.

It's just that this speed is too fast.

In front of Li Shimin and others, the craftsman just clamped the red-hot iron ingot with a clip, and then the original square iron ingot was struck by the big hammer above his head. The next quickly changed into another shape.

And the craftsman changed the direction very skillfully, and then the iron ingot that had just been beaten into a small pancake was knocked into half again, and then became a small pancake again, but compared to the small pancake just now. Much thicker and thicker.

Li Shimin is going crazy. This is obviously the way of making steel. Continuous forging, folding in half, forging again, and folding in half again. Through continuous superposition, the impurities in the iron block are continuously hammered out, and at the same time, the finished product quality is further improved.

But Nima, on weekdays, he hammers the best master craftsman in the supervisor for a whole day, which is faster than this ordinary craftsman.

Because while he was thinking about things, the craftsman had already folded the iron ingot four times.

And Li Shimin clearly knew that even the Modao with the highest quality requirements was actually of excellent quality after being folded seven times.

Then according to this speed, wouldn't it be possible to make several in a day?

Seeing that the craftsman put the iron ingots that had cooled down, or the iron lumps that could no longer be called iron ingots, but could only be called rough billets, put them into the small furnace on the side for reheating.

Li Shimin is really going crazy, isn't this shit a bit too outrageous?

He didn't even need to look down to know that this ordnance workshop was no longer the same thing as the workshop he knew. Whether it was output or quality, it was not in the same dimension at all.

But after reading these things, he became even more curious about the armor production behind. Even the forging of Modao is so magical, what will the dragon scale armor look like?

Chapter 611 Even Scarier

Although Li Shimin's heart was about to explode, his long-term experience left him with a calm expression on his face, as if these were nothing more than that.

But in fact, Li Shimin was almost drooling.

As a commander-in-chief, an emperor, who wouldn't want all the sergeants under his command to be fully armed with sharp swords?

As long as this ordnance workshop is moved back to Chang'an, then it will be his, and then he will be able to dress up the entire army, not to mention the price, but the speed and quality alone will definitely surpass all the aristocratic families and craftsmen today.

Moreover, Li Shimin also discovered that in this ordnance factory, everyone seemed to only do one thing at hand.

The craftsman who was still hammering the rough billet just now, after hammering the rough billet to a certain extent, changed hands and put the thing aside, then turned around and took out the same red-hot iron ingot as before and started forging again.

And the craftsman on another workbench next to him picked up the rough billet he had just placed there and started finishing. Under the hammering, it quickly turned into the shape of Mo Dao.

After Li Shimin took a few glances, he continued to walk down in this order. Sure enough, there was a different job on the next workbench.

He was also a craftsman. At this time, even the iron block above his head was much smaller. He took the blank that had been refined by the previous craftsman and started the final forging and quenching.

This is obviously experienced, the blank is fixed by a few iron clips on the workbench, and then the small iron blocks are repeatedly forged.

And it was continuously put into the small furnace on the side for calcination, and then quenched in a pool next to it, then calcined, and then quenched.

If you go further down, it will be another process, and Li Shimin also discovered that the people here are not at all like Jiang Zuojian, a master craftsman who worked hard for ten days and a half months to forge a Modao.

On the one hand, the people here don't need to work hard to swing the heavy hammer, and the hammer is completely replaced by the big iron block on the top of the head that does not know what to drive.

At the same time, they don't need to complete all the steps like the master craftsman who will be the supervisor.

Everyone only needs to concentrate on doing their own work well, and throw it aside after finishing, and then take another one to start working again, constantly going back and forth, and don't care about other things at all.

Li Shimin remembered reading a book from Zhang Nuo, which seemed to mention this production method, which seemed to be called an assembly line production method.

This production method seems to be able to reduce the difficulty of each work link as much as possible, and at the same time regard the workers on the entire production line as a whole.

As long as there is no error in each link, then the work efficiency can be maximized.

And there is another biggest advantage, that is, the requirements for the quality of employees in each work link have been greatly reduced.
