C271 Mo Ming's Political View

"However, there are still some problems in making this thing …" Zhuge Liang suddenly said as he looked at Mo Ming.

"Problem?" Hearing this, Mo Ming was somewhat puzzled. He asked, "What's the problem?"

Zhuge Liang was somewhat hesitant, but when he felt Mo Ming's gaze on him, he said, "My master once tried to have the local craftsmen in the clouds to make this carriage. However, in the beginning, the people in the carriage workshop could not do it properly. The sizes of the components they produced differed too much, making it impossible for them to piece together. Helpless, my master was forced to use the Qin method to complete the carriage. "

Hearing this, Mo Ming frowned.

When he was young, he was also raised under the rule of the Qin. At that time, he was a craftsman.

As such, he had a deep understanding of what the Qin's method was. In the past, when Xianyang had sent someone to inspect it, the engineers above him had been penalized for not being able to produce a standard weapon in the workshop. They had lost more than eight thousand yuan just like that.

After that, the requirements of the county were even stricter, and the workers had no choice but to urge all the workshops to work overtime.

So when his tutors were making their rounds, they said to the artisans earnestly, "There is a law that says that all men are part of the same object, and its size, length, vastness, and so on are essential! You and other instruments, especially weapons and containers, must be of equal size. Every item has the name of a craftsman. If you are not careful and let the county find out that something is not right in size, then this craftsman will definitely investigate everything and punish you severely! "

Simply put, the craftsmen of the Qin had to forge according to the standard set by Xianyang.

For example, the local measure of rice, Tao Sheng, you have to follow the Xianyang that has been handed down for more than a hundred years as the template for the "Merchant Martingale Cube Sheng", with a volume of 16 and a fifth of cubic inches set at 1 liter. When the officials from Xianyang came to inspect, Chang'an's Fang Sheng's error could not exceed 5%. Otherwise, it would be considered a violation of the rules.

Weapons were even more so. When making crossbows, one had to be able to create different kinds of knives that were of the same size by different craftsmen in Yunzhong County and Donwu County. They could all be mounted on crossbows made in Donwu County …

The craftsman did not know that in the future, there would be people who would call this extremely strict technology "standardized production". This was something that was taught by the eagle sauce from the other side of the ocean during the honeymoon period in the 1970s and China.

In fact, even though standardized production was harsh for the ancients, it was still a matter of course for Xiao Wen.

After all, in the 21st century, if you meet a manufacturer making a battery, you still can't fit it into an air-conditioning remote control. Or the plug of the electrical appliance could not be plugged into the socket. This was definitely an infuriating matter. This way, people would definitely ask for a refund.

However, he also knew that it would be difficult for Xiao Wen to install the exquisite apparatus on the carriage if he didn't do so. Therefore, he did not say anything and only nodded his head.

Then Zhuge Liang ran to the car and took out another box.

"What is this?" Looking at this box, Mo Ming asked curiously, "There shouldn't be any blueprints, right?"

These dozens of blueprints were already giving Mo Ming a headache. If it were not for the data on the blueprint, as long as the carriages were surrounded, they would be able to construct a ring shaped fortification that was no different from a fortress. As long as the person inside controlled the crossbow, they could repel the place.

Moreover, its carrying capacity was five times that of an ordinary horse carriage.

Most likely, Mo Ming would also treat this item that required the Qin's method of production as a weak point.

One had to know that the current Guan Dong of the Darkhan Kingdom did not lack craftsmen because he was recuperating.

According to Mo Ming's statistics, in the Guandong and Guanzhong regions, the number of carpenters that could be recruited by the Young Manor was at least three hundred thousand.

If one took 10%, there would be 30,000 people who would be able to participate in the construction of the carriage.

There were 30,000 people. Even if 50 people only made one carriage a day, they would still be able to make 600 carriages per day.

It could be said that there was no lack of carriages that could carry supplies.

However, to find the eastern border of the Darkhan Kingdom from Chang An was one thing, but to transport supplies to the enemy's territory through the long supply line was another matter entirely.

It was obvious that the burly man's carriage would not be able to do this.

Young Manor and the Grand Slave had once shared data. Thus, Mo Ming knew clearly that out of every hundred carriages that Young Manor produced, seventy would be damaged or robbed on the way to Liao Kingdom due to road problems, or because of the harassment by the army of Liao Kingdom.

It could be said that the environment and the army were two of the biggest problems for the horse carriages in the Darkhan Kingdom.

But now, this kind of four-wheeled carriage just happened to be able to deal with these two problems. This truly made Mo Ming feel extremely moved.

However, Mo Ming knew that this carriage had many benefits. However, there was a great political risk in reusing the Qin Laws.

Even Mo Ming, who was not good at politics, knew very well that the anti-Qin tide in the Darkhan Kingdom was very strong. Although there were some details, the big man's administration, culture and law were all influenced by the Qin Nation.

However, if he recklessly activated the Qin Laws, there would still be political risks.

Therefore, he said to Zhuge Liang, "Oh right, I will consider opening the Qin Law."

He planned to first spare enough manpower to produce a small number of four-wheeled carriages, regardless of the cost, using the usual method. By carriage, the goods were transported to Liubang.

When Liu Bang saw the benefits of these carriages with his own eyes, he would let Liu Bang decide whether to adopt a Qin law to mass produce these carriages, or to keep them in their original state.

After all, he was an honest man. Even if he didn't have to contribute, he didn't want to take the political risk.

Actually, before Zhuge Liang came, Xiao Wen had already analyzed these things to him.

Therefore, although Zhuge Liang didn't learn the microemoticon from Xiao Wen, he was not able to learn it from Xiao Wen. But he also knew what Mo Ming was worried about.

As a result, he did not continue to dwell on this issue. Ye Zichen directly opened the box in his hand, allowing Mo Ming to see what was inside.

"Lever crossbow?" Seeing what was inside the box was an unfamiliar crossbow. Thinking of the identity of the other party, and thinking of the letter Uncle Li had given him a few months ago, Mo Ming immediately thought of this weapon that he had heard of but had never seen before.

Lever crossbow! The strongest single soldier crossbow in the era of cold weapons!

Seeing that Mo Ming was so excited that he looked like a little kid, Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled, "Indeed, this is a sample of a lever crossbow. Let me have it before you come. He hopes that, in the future, the burly man's army will be able to equip this kind of the most powerful crossbow, and form the most powerful crossbow army. "

"Alright!" Hearing this, Mo Ming was overjoyed. Although he was a Mo, he did not like war. But after being immersed in government for so many years, experiencing the War of Independence, the Chuhan War, and many years of recovery in the east and central regions, Mo Ming knew very well that peace wasn't achieved through the lobbying of the Unhindered Family and the other travelers. Instead, he should rely on the deterrence of his powerful army to deter his neighbours from attacking him.

Therefore, Mo Ming did not dislike the construction of the army.

What he loathed was just using a strong army to take advantage of the weak.

However, after following Liu Bang for so many years, he had never seen him using his military strength to attack nearby small countries.

Even if this time they were to wage war against the Liao Empire for the sake of the Song Emperor, the Liao Empire was still a country of the Chidan people.

Although the China of this world was different from the China of the other world, but the hundreds of families all had one common understanding — the barbarians were not human! There was no need to place the etiquette of talking to others on barbarians.

As such, Mo Ming did not mind using war to gain benefits for his country and the large number of people to buy a better life for his people.

Just as Mo Ming was chatting with Li Zi Cheng and Zhuge Liang in front of the house, on the other side of the street, Guan Yu arrived alone at a martial arts building in Chang An City.

The task he had to do today was very simple, it was to complete the task Xiao Wen gave him — a task that he liked very much.
