Chapter 90 Li Shimin's win over

Assembly line operation does not simply mean working on the assembly line. Instead, dozens or hundreds of processes from beginning to end are divided into dozens of processes, with professional manufacturing. In this way, even the most advanced technology will no longer exist. As early as the Qin Dynasty, China already had the method of assembly line operation.

The Qin Dynasty introduced the crossbow manufacturing process from South Korea (South Korea, not the Bangzi Kingdom), and formed Qin crossbows under the improvement of Qin craftsmen. When Qin was manufacturing crossbows, it decomposed a whole crossbow into more than 30 processes and was made by specialists. In this way, the crossbows did not need to be made by crossbow masters. Instead, it was selected by woodworkers (sawing the wood out of the length of the crossbow arm), carpenters (driving the wood out of the shape of Wangshan, hanging knife (trigger), etc.), copper casting workers, polishing workers, string making workers, painters, hanging knife making workers, mechanical workers, assembly workers, etc., and more than 30 fine processes. Since the Qin Dynasty began to produce standardized manufacturing, all parts could be used. In this way, the Qin Dynasty was not only efficient, but also of very high quality, so Meng Tian was in the Hetao area and was terrified by the Huns in the battle.

Chen Ying had a flash of inspiration in this era and suddenly realized that the assembly line operation method can not only cast gold and silver ingots, but also in various fields, such as carriage workshops. Although Chen Ying's four-wheeled carriage outside Chang'an City intends to suppress production capacity, in fact, even if the production capacity is fully opened, the workshop can only produce about twelve to fifteen vehicles.

This effect is actually very low, and Chen Ying is not satisfied with it.

Chen Ying could produce four-wheeled luxury horse carriages, but with the increase of the road, especially four-wheeled carriages with wheel spacing of 12 twelve taels, such carriages or ox carriages will win by quality and low price. The Tang Dynasty launched the battle of Luoyang, which will use 100,000 to 150,000 troops, plus the civilians, at least 200,000 people, three liters of grain per person per day, not counting transportation consumption, which requires thousands of stones of grain every day. If the consumption of war horses and slow horses is included, it will cost about 1,500 stones of grain alone. If the food that can be eaten for half a year is reserved, it will be a small 300,000 stones.

Even if you can carry a carriage of thirty stones, it will require tens of thousands. Even if a carriage only makes a profit of ten tons, it can still make a profit of ten thousand tons. Chen Ying thought of this and immediately asked Ma Zhou to come with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to draw a four-wheeled carriage into an exploded diagram, preparing to produce a carriage in the form of assembly lines.

At the same time, in order to adapt to the axle distance of the carriage matching, Chen Ying began to formulate axle width standard for the carriage.

Chen Ying took the distance between the two wheels by one or two feet as the standard and began to decompose the carriage by hundreds of steps, especially the wheels, whether it is iron-packed or cast copper, which are all consumable parts. It is necessary to expand the production scale and increase inventory as soon as possible in case of future needs.

Fortunately, Chen Ying was very familiar with the design and construction of the four-wheeled carriage. Even with his eyes closed, Chen Ying knew that the four-wheeled carriage had more than 320 parts and drew them one by one. Chen Ying turned the carriage into seven parts according to the shock absorption system, wheels, axles, carriages, internal decoration, assembly, and paint, forming assembly, etc., to form assembly line operations. Of course, Chen Ying did not refine every part, but made his idea fundamentally correct the craftsmen in the carriage workshop according to the actual situation.

At the same time, Ma Zhou also prepared the assembly line for the money treasury and fire consumption according to Chen Ying's idea.

Ma Zhou learned a lot of knowledge. Seeing Chen Ying sorting out the assembly line operation process of the four-wheeled carriage in just two hours, he said strangely: "The master is also proficient in the examination and recording exams?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "It's natural that there is no point in being proficient. I have read a little bit and understand the basics. In fact, when we do things, we don't need to experience and do everything personally. We must cultivate subordinates, know people and make good use of them, and take fair and just incentives and rewards and punishment measures!"

Ma Zhou bowed slightly and said, "The Lord is wise!"

Chen Ying said: "Learn from the past, knowing the future is not the goal, knowing the future is the key. Why can Master Ge Tong develop better spring steel in just a few months? Not only because he is smart, but more importantly, he sorted out the information accumulated in the past few decades or even hundreds of years and found the rules. Now we have established a money shop, which is an unprecedented achievement, and there are no old examples to follow, so we can only look forward, take one step, look three steps, and explore ten steps, and maybe we can usher in a major breakthrough. Ma Binwang, you have to do it well, and you will be the wealth star of the Tang Dynasty in the future?"

"Finance?" Ma Zhou turned his eyes and felt a little moved, but his confidence was still insufficient. Ma Zhou was very smart, knowledgeable and talented, and analyzed things very quickly and was loyal and upright. But he was seriously unconfidence in himself now. Especially although the money house was named a money house, Chen Yingrang this money house will eventually assume the responsibility of the central bank. Ma Zhou really didn't know what the money house would do to the Tang Dynasty, and he was also confused.

Chen Ying patted Ma Zhou on the shoulder and said, "The Tang Dynasty established a country with martial arts and governed the country with pragmatism. Don't be anxious. Take your time. Even if it can't be done in the end, it will always be no harm."

"Okay" Ma Zhou reluctantly agreed.

Chen Ying left the money warehouse and was about to return to Chen's mansion to rest, he suddenly heard three huge drum sounds of "bang bang bang" from the direction of the Taiji Palace in the imperial city, as if shaking the entire palace. Immediately afterwards, a loud and heavy golden horn sounded into the sky, shaking the sky with noisy sound.

There is a bell and drum tower in front of Chengtian Gate of Tai Chi Palace. One is used for reporting in the palace, and the other is used to announce the invitation of hundreds of officials to court or when a major event occurs, the reign of the court of the provinces and departments in the imperial city is temporarily summoned to face the emperor of the Tai Chi Palace. Now it is almost the third hour of the Hai hour (it is equivalent to 9:45 pm in the later generations), but the drum tower sounds unexpectedly, and Chen Ying can't help but be a little curious.

The drum sounds of the imperial palace summoned all the ministers here, just like the drums gathered in the army. The three drums responded, and officials above the fifth rank in Chang'an must arrive at the palace within half an hour, otherwise it would be a crime of disrespect.

Outside Chengtian Gate, a group of civil and military ministers in breeze robes walked into the palace in groups. Seeing that they were having a good time talking to each other, they didn't look nervous, and they didn't seem to be worried about something suddenly happening in the court.

Chen Ying did not have much contact with the court officials, so he didn't know most of the court officials at all. Suddenly, he really found a familiar face in the crowd. General of the Right Guard, Dou Cong, Duke of Fufeng County. Chen Ying bowed and said, "Dou Gong, what happened in this palace?"

When Dou Cong saw Chen Ying, he immediately said with a look of ejaculation: "Mr. Chen, you are too slow to hear this news?"

Chen Ying was stunned.

Dou Cong said: "The bells and drums are beating and roaring the horns of the bells and drums are to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty's seven sons, His Highness King Lu."

"Oh!" Chen Ying felt a little bitterly smiled when he heard this. Li Yuan could really do it. His seven-son King Lu was not a good thing. After he became an adult, he bullied men and women in Chang'an and did all kinds of evil. He finally played himself in. He actually dared to trick Li Chengqian into launching a mutiny. After a hundred-day banquet, Li Yuanchang celebrated his birthday with great fanfare, but he even rang the bells and drums, which made people in Chang'an panic.

Chen Ying couldn't help but think of a saying in his mind: In ancient times, King You of Zhou played the princes with beacons, and today, Emperor Gaozu of Li Tang played the role of all officials.

"So that's the case, I'm ignorant, ashamed!" Chen Ying said with a smile.

Dou Cong waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen is a busy man, so it's understandable."

Chen Ying shook his head and said modestly: "I'm just busy."

Dou Cong opened his mouth and sighed, "Mr. Chen, Cong has a heartless love..."

Chen Ying said: "Mr. Dou has something to say, but it doesn't matter!"

Dou Cong said: "That four-wheeled carriage..."

Chen Ying smiled and said, "If it were someone else, I would definitely say no. Brother Dou asked for nothing, and even if I didn't, I would have to get one for Mr. Dou if I thought about it."

Dou Cong smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is still friends!"

The two of them said while walking, and they came to the square of Chengtianmen without realizing it. At this time, the square was full of green robe officials. In the bureaucratic system of the Tang Dynasty, the fifth rank was a huge watershed. Officials above the fifth rank could wear red official uniforms, while those below the fifth rank were green and green official robes.

Although Chen Ying was young, he had already been named the Duke and belonged to the powerful.

These green robe officials were not qualified to attend the banquet set up by Li Yuan in the Tai Chi Hall, and could only stand in Chengtianmen Square to wish King Lu a hundred years old.

As soon as Dou Cong and Chen Ying entered the Tai Chi Hall, they saw Li Shimin, who was originally talking and laughing with the ministers, accused the officials around him and walked towards Chen Ying.

Li Shimin came up and gave Chen Ying a hug, hugging her tightly, and slapped Chen Ying's back with both hands.

Chen Yingdi laughed at him, and he knew that this was the only way for Li Shimin to get together with the lieutenant generals and collusion.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Ying with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, General Chen's body seems to have healed. The Lone King is still worried that it will delay things after spring."

Chen Ying looked at Li Shimin in shock and thought to himself: "Isn't the spring of the next year the most glorious battle for Li Shimin? He first defeated Wang Shichong and captured Dou Jiande alive, and was eventually named General Tiance by Li Yuan."
