I was a prince in ancient times

The gun|powder workshop is located in the Forbidden Army camp, and there are Imperial Guards guarding the front and back. It can be said to be like an iron bucket, and not even a fly can fly into it.

Xie Anlan ran for two days, and all the materials, craftsmen and other things were in place, and finally the construction could start.

But... a new problem started again.

"Your Highness, do you really want to teach the production method to the workers?" Liu Guangyan said worriedly.

In the past two days, Xie Anlan has not been out of tune as before, but is doing his best to do things, even in some places, even his servant can't compare.

In addition, His Majesty paid so much attention to this moment that he dispatched a battalion of imperial guards to guard it.

Let him gradually put the matter of gunpowder in his heart.

But if, as His Majesty said, this thing can emit the power of heaven's punishment, then it is a sharp weapon of the country.

If such things are taught to the craftsman, and the craftsman leaks it out, he and Chen Wang are inseparable.

"What's wrong?" Xie Anlan couldn't help asking as he looked at him solemnly.

Liu Guangyan sighed and expressed his thoughts, "Your Highness does not know that although these craftsmen are all under the name of the Ministry of Industry, they also have families and small businesses. If the production method is leaked..."

After hearing this, Xie Anlan understood why Liu Guangyan was worried.

In order to ensure the excellent workmanship of the craft, the ancients always completed a craft by one person from the beginning to the end, and even some fragmentary work was done by him, and they would brand it on the craft after it was finished. Write down the name of the craftsman, so that you can find the person directly if there are after-sales problems in the future.

In this way, the quality of the process is indeed improved, but the efficiency and confidentiality are greatly reduced.

"Adopting assembly line work can prevent your problem very well." Xie Anlan smiled slightly.

"What is assembly line work?" Liu Guangyan sounded confused.

"Oh, it's the division of labor." Xie Anlan was worried that Liu Guangyan would not understand, so she explained to him in detail what division of labor is.

Following Xie Anlan's eloquent talk, Liu Guangyan looked at Xie Anlan differently.

The division of labor described by Xie Anlan sounds similar to that known by Liu Guangyan, but it is completely different.

More detailed, clearer, and clearer division of each area, so that everyone can give full play to their best abilities in the field they are good at.

Liu Guangyan, who had been in a state of ignorance before, was awakened in an instant, which was no less than being enlightened. Some things that he could not understand before suddenly became clear now.

"Your Highness is a great talent." After Xie Anlan finished speaking, Liu Guangyan almost threw himself to the ground.

I no longer think that Prince Chen is an idiot.

How can an idiot have such a vicious opinion?

After Xie Anlan finished speaking, Liu Guangyan looked at him differently, knowing that what she had said was a bit too much.

It seems a bit disintegrated.

With a sloppy eye, he said, "Hahaha, I just heard these things from the king's way, and added a little bit of my own nonsense, what does Liu Shilang think?"

Liu Shilang, "..."

"Your Highness has unique eyesight and unique insights. It is also a rare talent to be able to comprehend this insight from other people's words." There is no way, the boast has already been spoken, and I will continue to praise it through gritted teeth. Otherwise, you will slap yourself in the face.

"Really? This king is so powerful." Xie Anlan showed a complacent look.

Liu Shilang, "..."

With Xie Anlan's assembly method, Liu Guangyan split the production process of gun|powder into dozens of sequences, and added some deceiving tricks in the middle, which can be said to be careful.

It also made Xie Anlan understand why the emperor would entrust this matter to him.

Less than a day after the implementation of the assembly line, Liu Shilang also discovered a surprise.

That is, this method of operation has directly doubled the efficiency several times. The original one-day amount can be completed in half a day.

This is still under the condition that the craftsmen are not skilled.

I believe that after the craftsmen get used to it, the efficiency can be more than doubled!

While Liu Shilang was feeling emotional, he quickly thought by analogy that this kind of assembly line operation could also be implemented in other places, thereby greatly increasing production efficiency.

Of course, this approach has advantages and disadvantages.

That is, the craftsmanship cannot be passed on well.

You must know that each craft has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times. If you want to learn it, you have to learn from a teacher from an early age. You have to give the master a few years of miscellaneous work. If you perform well, the master will pass on the craft to you.

Once this division of labor is implemented, the past inheritance will be broken, and it will definitely attract resistance from many people.

So these days in the camp, besides being in charge of supervising the work, Liu Shilang was just thinking about these things, and even took the opportunity to ask questions whenever he saw Xie Anlan.

I hope to hear some unique suggestions from Xie Anlan.

As a result, Xie Anlan now hides whenever he sees him.

He hadn't forgotten that he was still carrying an idiot avatar on his back, and he had been eye-catching recently. If he said something that didn't fit the avatar, it would arouse suspicion.

Therefore, Liu Shilang is doomed to be disappointed.

Fortunately, as Lu Chengjiao's saltpeter arrived one after another, neither of them was in the mood to think about anything else.

Right now the frontline battle is tense, after these days, Weiyuanhou has lost another city, the people in the imperial capital can't stay at home, they close their doors every day to pray to gods and worship Buddha.

The duo also ramped up production.

The original 20-day construction period was completed twelve days ahead of schedule under their urging.

On the day of completion, the emperor drove to the camp, accompanied by all the civil and military officials in the imperial capital.

Xie Anlan experienced the ancient version of the big scene for the first time.

The dragons are hunting, the emperor sits firmly on the dragon chair, followed by civil and military officials, escorted by thousands of imperial guards.

The originally empty streets became crowded because of their influx.

The clashing sound of iron armor and the sound of uniform footsteps quickly attracted the people on the street who had closed their houses for more than ten days.

They secretly opened the cracks in the doors and windows and looked out, trying to see what happened.

As soon as they saw the emperor driving a dragon, they opened the doors and knelt down to welcome them.

Such a big scene is really exciting, and it also made Xie Anlan deeply realize how shocking the imperial power system in the monarchy society is.

No wonder everyone wants to fight for that position, it's really envious of power.

Xie Anlan just sighed and stopped thinking about it.

In his opinion, being a free and unfettered prince is pretty good, having money, power and freedom is no worse than being an emperor.

I just don't know when he will become rich...

The dragon drove mightily through the imperial capital, and drove all the way to a wide place outside the suburbs of Beijing.

Today I will be here, in front of all civil and military officials, to test the power of gunpowder. By the way, the emperor also wants to use this gunpowder to frighten Xiaoxiao in the dark and stand up.

"Are you sure?" The emperor seemed calm, but in fact he was sweating inwardly.

After all, he has never seen the power of gunpowder until now, it all depends on Xie Anlan's mouth.

Of course, where Xie Anlan experimented with gunpowder, he had already ordered people to investigate, and even dug up the surrounding soil after the gunpowder exploded, and asked someone to identify it, and it did contain saltpeter.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a big commotion because of Xie Anlan's one-sided words.

"No problem." Xie Anlan, who was standing next to Xie Cangming, didn't look flustered at all.

He made this batch of gunpowder strictly according to the production steps given by the system, and with the ability of craftsmen, it is many times better than his rough and random production.

The emperor looked at Xie Anlan's face for a moment, and finally chose to believe it.

He is very clear about the character of his younger brother. If he is really tricked by clever tricks, he will be frightened and beg for mercy, or he will simply hide in some blocked place and not come out. It will definitely not be like now No surprises like this.

On the contrary, Liu Guangyan's legs were a little weak when he saw such a big scene.

It's not that he doesn't believe in His Majesty and Prince Chen, but that before he saw it with his own eyes, he still had some doubts in his heart.

Such a big commotion today, if he tried it out, he would still say, if he couldn't try it out, he would have to put his life here.

All the way out of the imperial capital, he felt uneasy in his heart. He wanted to talk to Xie Anlan several times, but he was a high-ranking prince who could accompany the emperor, while he was only a fourth-rank official and could only watch from a distance. Looking at the emperor's dragon, wanting to talk to him is simply a dream.

Facing the eyes of his colleagues and adults around him, he could only give a wry smile, silently waiting for his upcoming fate.

At noon, with the high-pitched voice of Qin Tianjian, "The auspicious time has come—"

The imperial guards with gunpowder in their heads lit the fuses one after another, or tied them to arrows, or used trebuchets to throw them onto the simple battlefield in front of them.

After laying the groundwork for so long and making such a big battle, more than a hundred civil and military officials couldn't hold back for a long time. Seeing this scene, they all looked forward to it.

Fire|Powder did not disappoint.

Not long after the throw.

All I could hear was a sudden explosion sounded from the sky and the earth. From far to near, the flames soared into the sky, sand and rocks flew, and in an instant, it seemed that the ground under my feet was shaking.

All civil and military officials looked at it, and they were all shocked.

After Zheng was stunned for a moment, he bowed his head and knelt behind the emperor with a flexible head, shouting, "God bless Your Majesty, God bless Dayong, long live my emperor."

With the first one taking the lead, the rest of the officials soon followed suit. All the officials knelt down, and the imperial guards were naturally not spared.

The high-pitched shouts of thousands of people quickly attracted the courageous people who followed behind. Before the people woke up from the earth-shattering explosion just now, they heard this exciting voice. Knelt down and shouted loudly.

The sound came back to the imperial capital one after another. Even though the people in the city didn't understand what happened, it didn't prevent them from shouting.

Just for a moment, inside and outside the imperial city, between heaven and earth, there was only the voice of praising the emperor.
