Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Song Jinxiu nodded. "Of course it is. Didn't the Three Hexagrams say so? Father, you are a wise ruler throughout history. Your achievements are not only peace and prosperity for the country, but your greatest achievement is unification."

Great unification!

Liu Renxiu looked at the little girl and couldn't help but feel excited.

But he quickly calmed down and looked Song Jinxiu straight in the eye: "Didn't you make up those three hexagrams?"

Song Jinxiu showed a surprised expression, "Father, you don't forget it, do you? You cast the divination yourself. My master told me personally."

Liu Renxiu was speechless: Shake the divination sticks himself? In that situation, weren't these three divination sticks made up to reassure the court officials?

He looked at Eunuch Hai and the guards and said, "Never mind, this child is also for me."

Song Jinxiu said solemnly, "In my heart, my father is a wise ruler of all ages. Unification is a must. I am willing to issue a military order. Even if I die on the battlefield, I will conquer Southern Xinjiang."

"Snapped"

Song Jinxiu received a blow on her head.

Liu Renzheng said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. I agree that you can be the military supervisor, but you must come back alive. Otherwise..."

Otherwise I would be heartbroken.

Song Jinxiu quickly stepped back and kowtowed, accepting the order. "Don't worry, Father. I'm a man of both civil and military talents. Just wait for my triumphant return."

Everyone has a dream of being a hero, and Song Jinxiu has one too. She also has some expectations in her heart about going to the frontier battlefield this time.

In view of the urgency of time, Emperor Liu Renxiu immediately decided to open the ancestral hall, officially record Song Jinxiu under the name of empress, and confer her the title of eldest princess, commander-in-chief of the southern border war, leading 5,000 people from the Xishan camp to meet with the Duke of Zhenguo and march south together.

After leaving the palace, Song Jinxiu went straight to the weapons camp of the Ministry of Works.

If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.

The soldiers' weapons and armor were her first focus.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped. Su Chuan's voice came: "Master, a group of beggars gathered at the entrance of the restaurant on East Street and blocked the road."

"What's going on?" Song Jinxiu lifted the curtain of the car. She had good eyesight and saw a group of beggars fighting for food on the ground.

The meal consists of refined rice, white meat, and a whole roast chicken.

Soon, Yingchun, who had gone to get the news, came back excitedly, "Ah! Princess, guess what happened?"

Song Jinxiu frowned and said, "But who had a fight and overturned the table?"

"No, it was Miss Cui who invited the heroes to dinner. I heard she sent someone to the palace gate to pick up the Duke of Zhenguo, but he didn't show up, and none of the generals showed up either. She got angry and dumped all the food out on the street."

Yingchun's little mouth kept chattering, becoming more and more excited, with a look of gloating on her face.

Song Jinxiu looked at the delicious food. The soldiers were still worried about the food supply, but you dumped the delicious food on the street!

Humph, since you've bumped into me, if I don't do something, I'd be letting down the soldiers on the border who are fighting tooth and nail to defend their country.

She asked sternly, "Su Chuan, is Zhu Beichen nearby?"

"exist,"

Soon, Zhu Beichen was called by Su Chuan, "Your Highness, what do you want?"

Song Jinxiu pointed at the food on the ground at the entrance of the restaurant and said, "Go tell the Minister of Revenue that the soldiers' food and fodder have been found."

Yingchun was puzzled: "Princess, how can the soldiers eat the food on the ground?"

Song Jinxiu looked at Zhu Beichen, who quickly said, "I understand. The soldiers' food and fodder will come from the Cui family."

Song Jinxiu glanced at him and said, "Tell the Minister of Revenue that there is more than one Cui family in Cangwu. This time, I am supervising the army. If he can't gather enough food and fodder, I will hold him accountable."

"Yes."

The princess is indeed resourceful, Zhu Beichen left with a smile.

The weapons camp was bustling with activity. When Song Jinxiu came in, she saw a pile of broken horses in the yard and couldn't help but frown.

When Lu Qiao Shou heard that Song Jinxiu had arrived, he hurried over to greet her. Song Jinxiu pointed at the useless slaves and asked, "What's going on? Are these all defective items?"

Lu Qiaoshou quickly shook his head and said, "No, these are all broken crossbows collected from the army. They are all good iron. It would be a pity to throw them away. We can just melt them down again.

Song Jinxiu picked up a broken crossbow and found that only the crossbow mechanism was broken. She checked five or six crossbows in a row and found that the problem was with the crossbow mechanism.

Lu Qiaoshou quickly explained, "Well, although the crossbow is accurate and powerful, it is convenient, but its crossbow mechanism is the most susceptible to wear and tear."

Song Jinxiu frowned. "Just replace the crossbow machine. Why are you withdrawing it? Is this going to be melted down? Is this how you deliberately waste time?"

No wonder the efficiency is so slow.

Lu Qiaoshou quickly said, "It can't be changed. Each crossbow is unique."

It turned out that in the weapons camp, a craftsman made a crossbow, and all the parts were completed by one person. The manual operation, the operator's proficiency, and his own personality resulted in the same type of weapons being very different. Naturally, the parts could not be reassembled and reused. Once a part was damaged, the entire weapon would be scrapped.

Song Jinxiu frowned and looked at Lu Qiaoshou, which made his scalp tingle.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

Faced with such backward production methods, Song Jinxiu was very angry. She was not angry with Lu Qiaoshou, she was angry with herself. Why didn't she come to the weapons camp earlier to check?

If I had come earlier, I wouldn't have wasted so much manpower and resources.

Song Jinxiu patiently explained, "Master Lu, have you ever considered that with mass production, one craftsman specializes in producing a single crossbow component? Practice makes perfect, and by focusing on one thing, production speed will naturally increase, and the crossbow will be strong and durable. Finally, all the components are finally assembled together, and the crossbow is completed."

Moreover, the most important thing here is that every component is universal. If one part breaks, only that part needs to be replaced, and the others can continue to be used. Producing more of the crossbow parts that are prone to breaking can help replace them in a timely manner. How much manpower and material resources can this save? Lord Lu, do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Qiaoshou's eyes lit up, he understood it very well.

If unified standards are adopted for production and the interchangeability of various parts is achieved, worn weapons can be reassembled to maximize their effectiveness, naturally achieving twice the result with half the effort.

"Princess, please wait a moment. I will make the arrangements right away."

Song Jinxiu waved her hand, asking him to calm down, "I have something else to say."

Lu Qiaoshou blinked quickly and listened attentively. Song Jinxiu said, "Mass production requires craftsmen to strictly follow uniform standards. The final product must be exactly the same, so that it can be assembled perfectly."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Song Jinxiu nodded. "Also, to ensure accountability, each part must be engraved with the name of the craftsman and the responsible official. If any parts are incompatible, the responsible person will be directly held accountable."

"Yes, this method is better. Princess, do you have any other instructions?"

Lu Qiaoshou couldn't wait to reform the bow and crossbow manufacturing process.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of the rest myself."

"Yes."

Lu Qiaoshou quickly ordered an official to follow Song Jinxiu's instructions, and he trotted off to do his work.
