Chapter 484

"As for that Liu Yiyi, although she came from a lowly background, she has such a good understanding of the general situation. It is a big contribution for me to have a pillar like Wang Wushan in the Great Song Dynasty..."

"Then Grandmother, what do you mean..."

"This imperial edict should be written, moreover, it must be well written, it can't be too simple, let Wang Wushan know how much you value and trust him..." Gao Taotao said slowly after pondering for a while road.

"It's not just a marriage, it's more about grace. The officials must not forget that the court hasn't expressed any indication of this achievement."

Zhao Xu nodded vigorously and replied respectfully. "What the imperial grandmother said is that the grandson will definitely think about it carefully, and he must not be discouraged by a talented person like Wang Wushan."

"How about it? Is there any problem with the steel crossbow after the test today?" After receiving the emperor's promise, Wang Yang, full of fighting spirit, returned to the office, and then found Bai Shuling and Zhang Shuling, and began to ask about business matters. Come.

"There is no problem. There are a total of fifteen steel crossbows that have been trial-produced. Except for the first two, the arms of the newly-produced steel crossbows have been re-cut, and the weight has been reduced a lot, but The effectiveness remains the same as before.”

"Furthermore, from the very beginning to today, the test firing volume of the fifteen Yuanyou crossbows has exceeded [-] rounds. So far, no problems have been seen in the test firing." Bai Shuling first opened his mouth to report.

"If it is a god arm crossbow, it is impossible to withstand such a high-intensity trial shooting. Generally, a god arm crossbow has more than one hundred rounds, and it needs to stand for two days before it can be used again. Otherwise, it is easy for the crossbow arm to appear. Problem. Moreover, a god arm crossbow can only shoot [-] rounds at most. After [-] rounds, there will be problems, and the crossbow arm needs to be replaced..."

"Since the Yuanyou crossbow is a whole steel plate, no cracks or problems were found at all."

Wang Yang nodded. Now the number of consecutive test shots has exceeded [-] rounds, and he is approaching the [-] rounds of the God Arm Crossbow. The metal will also have metal fatigue, but it is still far stronger than the need to use more. Wood composite materials bonded together.

Therefore, Wang Yang has firm confidence in the Yuanyou crossbow with steel arms.

"Continue to test fire, next, five will continue to test fire one hundred rounds per day, five will test fire fifty rounds per day, and five will test thirty rounds per day, and then see what the limit of these Yuanyou crossbows is. In addition, how many crossbow bodies and crossbow machines are available for the Nufang Department..."

"My lord, there are [-] rounds of crossbows, and [-] crossbows..."

"Fifteen thousand..., um, there are still composite crossbow arms left, right? The remaining ones don't need to be used for assembly, just put it aside, Bai Shuling, I have something to ask, this crossbow There should be quite a few craftsmen in the Square Department, right?"

"My lord, the Nufang Department is slightly larger than the Jiafang Department, and there are 890 craftsmen."

"It's not just big, my Jiafang Department has only [-] craftsmen, and yours is almost [-]." Zhang Shuling looked at Bai Shuling enviously and said. "If our Jiafang Department can have more manpower, the output of Yuanyoujia..."

Wang Yang smiled. "Zhang Shuling, I asked Bai Shuling for this purpose."

Bai Shuling couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, and after glancing at Zhang Shuling who was also surprised and surprised, he said to Wang Yang. "My lord, do you want to transfer someone from our Nufang Department?"

"Yes, I want to transfer a group of people from your side. Didn't you tell me before that you have more than [-] people engaged in making crossbow arms and bow arms, and there are also some who specialize in crossbow arms? A machine caster?"

"You keep those who make bow arms, and then keep the most elite among the crossbow arm craftsmen, and select a group from the crossbow machine craftsmen, and let them go to the Jiafang Department. See if you can directly use molten steel to cast the crossbow machine, after all, although the copper crossbow machine is durable and resistant to rust, its cost is not low, right?"

"That's right. A copper crossbow machine consumes about half a catty of copper. If it is replaced by steel..." Bai Shuling's eyes suddenly lit up. This is indeed a solution.For Da Song, copper is definitely the most scarce monetary metal.

It is not only used in currency, but also has a lot of demand in war. For example, crossbows are usually cast in bronze in order to pay attention to their sturdiness and corrosion resistance.

However, half a catty of copper is equivalent to five hundred yuan, and considering that the cost of the steel crossbow arm and the entire crossbow arm is only three hundred yuan, if this crossbow machine can also be replaced with steel products, the cost of Yuanyou crossbow, It can be reduced a lot.

After hesitating for a while, Bai Shuling finally made up his mind. "The lacquer maker can mobilize 1000 people, and the crossbow arm lord can mobilize 500 people. In addition, the crossbow maker can only mobilize 300 people at most. After all, the crossbow maker's original There are not many craftsmen."

"Closing two copies of 800 people, um, enough..." Wang Yang nodded after smacking his mouth.Although these craftsmen have no experience in armor making, they are all ingenious people.

In addition, after adopting the assembly line operation method, they only need to go to the new position for a half-day internship to be fully qualified for the new position.

"In that case, the Zhang Department will order you to arrange another production line here, and then transfer [-] key elites from other production lines, one will lead ten, and the old will bring the new, so that they can familiarize themselves with the business in the shortest possible time. .”

"In addition, this is the latest assembly method. Coupled with the manpower provided by Bai Shuling, the number of Nissan Yuanyou Jia in our Jiafang Department can at least be raised to another level."

"Now my Great Song Dynasty is going to send troops to Xixia Yixue, the shame of Suide City, and if my Great Song Dynasty's tigers need to be persistent, it depends on the efforts of the two and many craftsmen. I also ask the two to help Wang Mou at this juncture. A helping hand."

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely do our best."

After being busy in the government office, Wang Yang rushed to Su Dongpo's mansion non-stop to find Xueshi Su, and told Xueshi Su his thoughts directly and neatly.

"Since you went to find His Majesty, you must know that at the end of this month, you and I will leave the capital. It's such a short time, is it too late?" Su Dongpo couldn't help but worry about stroking his long beard.

"The matter is urgent, and I also ask the bachelor to help the boy. The boy has already asked His Majesty to decree the marriage at that time, although the time is a little urgent..."

"With Emperor Jia'en, this way, it won't look too abrupt. That's fine, I'll run for you. You go back to the mansion and wait for the news. Come back tomorrow. Remember to bring more wine... "

Hearing Su Dongpo's words, Wang Yang couldn't help being overjoyed. With the words of Su Dongpo, an old driver, things would hardly have any major twists and turns.
