The day after returning to Chang'an, Zhao Yunze went to the arsenal to work.Yan Liben, Fang Zhi and other officials of the Arsenal Department saw Zhao Yunze's return, and they had a lot of excitement, so there was no need to say more.After everyone dispersed, Zhao Yunze asked Yan Liben and Fang Zhi to introduce him to the situation of the Arsenal Special Agency in the past month.Generally speaking, the Arsenal is operating well, and it seems that it has not been affected at all without Zhao Yunze, the big treasurer.In fact, Zhao Yunze had done almost perfect work in the early stage, even if he was not there, the officials of the Arsenal Department only needed to do things according to the routine he had drawn up.After learning about the situation of the Arsenal Special Administration in the past month, Zhao Yunze went to the workshop to visit and inspect accompanied by Yan Liben and Fang Zhi.Zhao Yunze first went to the workshop where gunpowder was prepared.The people who worked in this workshop were all palace eunuchs transferred by Li Shimin, led by Liu An, the eunuch in charge of the original Liangyi Palace.These eunuchs don't look at their limbs, but they are still very serious.This can be seen from the furnishings and hygiene in the workshop.The entire workshop was well organized, and all kinds of materials were classified into categories and assigned to their respective places, which were completely implemented in accordance with the rules set by Zhao Yunze before.Zhao Yunze took a turn in the gunpowder workshop and felt very satisfied.Because he did not inform the Arsenal Department in advance that he would be on duty today, it can be said with certainty that the gunpowder workshop did not engage in formalism, and what Zhao Yunze saw was the scene of the gunpowder workshop's usual work.Don't underestimate the details of this kind of placement of production materials and good workshop hygiene, in later generations, this kind of production management is called "5S management", which can not only improve production efficiency, but also effectively avoid the occurrence of production accidents.For example, if the various materials are placed in a messy manner, it may take you half a day to find a tool or a sample of raw materials.Moreover, it also occupies a large amount of space in the workshop, which brings inconvenience to the activities and entry and exit of personnel and vehicles, and is also very easy to cause accidents.The Arsenal is all produced with flammable and explosive materials, and it is all the more necessary to strengthen the management of this aspect.This is also a job that Zhao Yunze attaches great importance to, and it is completely placed on the same status as confidentiality work.After Zhao Yunze praised the employees of the gunpowder workshop, he went to the firearms manufacturing workshop.Zhao Yunze is also very satisfied with the "5S management" in the firearms manufacturing workshop.He focused his inspection on the firearms made by the craftsmen.At present, the firearms workshop produces only two types of firearms, a hand-thrown thunderbolt and a bamboo-tube rocket launcher.As a result, the firearms workshop is divided into two areas, each responsible for the manufacture of a firearm.The manufacturing director Fang Zhizhi accompanied Zhao Yunze to inspect the firearms workshop.Walking to the manufacturing area of the hand-thrown thunderbolt, Zhao Yunze saw at a glance that the craftsmen were making an oversized thunderbolt.The size of the thunderbolt was bigger than a basketball."
How did you make the thunderbolt so big," Zhao Yunze wondered.Yu Zhining said: "Lord Zhao, this is a thunderbolt newly designed by Lord Yan to throw with a trebuchet. ”Zhao Yunze patted his head and said, "Look at my brain, why did I forget that there are trebuchets in the Tang Army, Brother Yan, you are still thoughtful." ”Yan Liben smiled slightly and said, "It's just that the shape and lead length of the thunderbolt have been increased, which is nothing."
This kind of thunderbolt can only be used against enemy troops in dense formations, otherwise it will be a bit wasteful. ”Zhao Yunze didn't say anything more, and went to see the manufacture of the bamboo tube bazooka.When it came to the manufacturing area of the bamboo tube bazooka, Zhao Yunze was also surprised.The craftsmen were not only making individual bazookas, but also making a new weapon in which multiple bazookas were tied together and shared a single lead.Damn, isn't this a simple version of rocket artillery" Brother Yan, this is also your idea" Zhao Yunze pointed to the improvised rocket artillery and asked Yan Liben.Yan Liben said: "This is not Yan's credit.It was an idea that a craftsman came up with.The craftsman said that it would take too much time to light the bazookas one by one, so he suggested that multiple bazookas be tied together and share a single lead.I thought this method was feasible, and after testing it, there was no problem, so I ordered them to make it this way. ”Zhao Yunze nodded, and then carefully looked at the operations of those craftsmen.Zhao Yunze found that those craftsmen did not simply bundle multiple bazookas together, but when they were tied, a single bazooka was also padded into each other.In this way, a set of multiple rocket launchers, each with a slight difference in the opening angle of the orientation.After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yunze understood the intention of the craftsmen to do this."
This is for cavalry," he asked Yan Liben.Yan Liben nodded and said, "It's exactly used to deal with cavalry."
When the cavalry charges, there is a large distance between the individual cavalry, and adjusting the angle of a single rocket launcher can cover a wider area and form an effective blow to the cavalry. ”Zhao Yunze greatly admired the wisdom of the ancient working people.The intelligence of others is much stronger than their own.It seems that in the future, as long as you can be a leader, as for the details, the officials and craftsmen of the Arsenal can solve them by themselves, and they will do better."
Which craftsman came up with this idea," Zhao Yunze asked Yan Liben.Yan Liben pointed to an operating table beside Zhao Yunze and said, "It's this young man, his name is Feng Jun, and he is the name of Ma Jun of Wei in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, two more points." ”Zhao Yunze took a closer look at this Feng Jun, who was about twenty years old, and although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes were extremely smart.was named by Yan Liben, Feng Jun just smiled shyly and didn't talk to Zhao Yunze.This person's personality seems to be a bit shy.Zhao Yunze patted Feng Jun's shoulder and said, "The young man is good."
The Ma Jun of the Eastern Han Dynasty is a master who works in the way of the craftsman, and your name is two more points than Ma Jun, and I hope that you can also achieve two more points than that Ma Jun in the craftsman. ”"Thank you, sir."
Feng Jun said with a blushing face and a thick neck.Zhao Yunze was stunned, Ma Jun of the Three Kingdoms had a stuttering problem, could this Feng Jun also stutter Yan Liben seemed to see Zhao Yunze's thoughts, he smiled lightly and said: "Feng Jun has a shy personality, he is too nervous." ”Zhao Yunze understood, so he comforted Feng Jun and said: "Don't be nervous, you did a good job" After speaking, he said bluntly: "Brother Fang, go back and let Feng Jun go to Xu Jingzong to receive five hundred yuan, just say that it is a reward for him for coming up with multiple rocket launchers." ”Fang Zhi nodded in response.When Feng Jun heard Zhao Yunze say that he wanted to reward him, his face suddenly turned even redder with excitement.The rest of the craftsmen also gave Feng Jun a look of envy.The status of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty was very low, and even those who worked in the workshops of the imperial court were treated poorly.The Arsenal Special Administration's monthly salary for craftsmen is relatively high, and it is only one hundred and fifty yuan.This salary standard can't even buy a bucket of rice in Chang'an.Fortunately, these craftsmen are in charge of food and housing, otherwise, this Weibo income can't even support themselves.Of course, this is also the reason why the price of rice is too expensive nowadays.Therefore, the reward of 500 yuan, although it does not sound like much, is a generous reward for the craftsmen.Zhao Yunze saw the envious eyes of those craftsmen, so he smiled and said: "Don't envy Feng Jun, in the future, as long as everyone uses their brains and has good ideas in production technology and firearm design, they will definitely not hesitate to reward" "Adults are wise" Those craftsmen are all happy.Zhao Yunze said to Yan Liben and Fang Zhi again: "Two, please formulate a reward rule as soon as possible to encourage a craftsman like Feng Jun who is diligent in using his brain."
With concerted efforts from top to bottom, we will certainly be able to build better and more powerful firearms. ”After a pause, Zhao Yunze said again: "The reward rules should not be limited to the design and manufacture of firearms, as long as it is a favorable suggestion for the arsenal, it can be rewarded." ”Yan Liben and Fang Zhi hurriedly responded
