will be a supervisor.

Accompanied by Jiao Yunzhe, a master craftsman, Zhao Junsheng visits the factory where he will be overseen forging armor, where four large stamping machines stamped steel blocks of the same size into slightly curved sheets of armor that workers moved to the punching room to punch holes in the corners.

The perforated plate armor was dragged by strong men to the polishing room by the craftsmen, where it was polished to polish the polish, smooth out the edges and spikes, and then the other craftsmen put on the inner lining and lacing, and the two plates were tied together, and a complete plate armor was made.

"This is the helmet production room, which also uses stamping to stamping the steel ingot into the shape of a helmet embryo, and then uses a steel file to file off the leftovers, and then polishes and matches the lining cushion, warm cushion, lace-up and feather to become a finished product!"

Zhao Junsheng stopped in front of the stamping lathe for a while, watching the process of the stamping machine stamping the steel ingots into plate armor and helmets, which is already very efficient when working with a press powered by water flow impact.

"The process arrangement and the number of craftsmen are well done!" Zhao Junsheng praised and asked: "Can the work efficiency of each workshop be improved?" ”

Jiao Yunzhe said: "In terms of process and manpower allocation, it has been very good so far, and if the incentive mechanism is increased, it should be slightly improved." If you want to improve it, you can only think of a way from the machine stamping speed, but with the current water flow impact power of the Longshou Canal, if you want to increase the machine stamping speed, you must increase the impact force of the water flow to speed up the rotation speed of the impeller, unless you can increase the water flow of the Longshou Canal! ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and asked, "What is the degree of wear and tear of the impeller shaft and impact machine?" ”

"There is no problem with the stamping machine, a stamping machine can be used for more than ten years, and the loss of the shaft is very large, and the replacement is very frequent!" Jiao Yunzhe said.

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the shaft connected to the press and said: "Listen, the friction sound of the shaft is too loud, this should be because the friction is too large, the friction is large, and the wear and tear on the shaft must be great, so I think we should find a way to reduce the friction of the shaft!" ”

Jiao Yunzhe shook his head and said: "This doesn't seem to be a good way, it has such a fast rotation speed, the friction will inevitably be very large, unless its rotation speed slows down!" ”

"No, no, I think you can put some oil on the friction part of the shaft, it should increase the lubrication effect!"

Jiao Yunzhe was thoughtful and replied, "Later, let the minister try it!" ”

"In addition, I suggest that you can find a way to reduce the friction area of the shaft, and imagine if two carriages were equipped with wide wheels and narrow wheels, which one would be easy to pull? It must be a carriage with narrow wheels that is easy to pull, and if you don't believe it, you can find someone to try it! ”

"No!"

Zhao Junsheng walked to the sluice next to the workshop, a huge torrent was rushing out from the open sluice and falling on a huge impeller at the bottom, the impeller was constantly rotating by the impact of the water, it drove the rotation of the shaft, and the shaft transmitted the power to the press through the complex gear set.

If it is necessary to reduce the ram force, it can be controlled by raising and lowering the height of the sluice, the higher the sluice rises, the more water is released, and the greater the impact force, and vice versa.

At present, the military standard equipment of the cadre army, especially knives, swords, spearheads, armor, etc., are stamped by stamping machines, because the steel ingots used are all through the secret smelting method, and its toughness, solidity, and sharpness are fixed, so it can be relatively unified in terms of performance, and only the weapons and armor used by high-level generals are purely handmade.

After inspecting the production situation of the supervisor, Zhao Junsheng returned to the palace to continue to deal with government affairs, and when the royal driver arrived at the gate of the palace, the eunuch on duty reported next to the imperial driver: "Your Majesty, the king of Shu is at the palace gate, it seems that he wants to meet him!" ”

"Let him come!" Zhao Junsheng opened his eyes.

"No!"

Zhao Ping saw the eunuch beckoning to him, and immediately walked over and followed the royal driver: "Erchen has seen his father!" ”

"Stop, let him come up!"

The royal driver stopped, and Zhao Ping got on the royal driver, lifted the curtain and bent down and walked in.

Zhao Ping bowed again, and Zhao Junsheng pointed to the opposite side: "What's the matter?" ”

"Father, there are two things to report to my father!"

"Say it!"

"No! First, around midnight last night, the entourage of the prince Wenhe, Handa and thirteen guards, were killed in the Chenghuang Temple in Yipingfang, and the soldiers of the Jinwuwei patrolling the street smelled blood and found the corpses when they patrolled the streets, and then the Yamen of Zuo Jinwuwei quickly ordered martial law in the four surrounding squares, prohibiting any passage, and through an hour's search, the murderer was caught, a total of sixteen people, led by the Sogdian merchant An Dashi, when Jin Wuwei captured them, An Dashi and his guards were in a shop in Dongshi, The shop was in his name, and the armorers found bloody swords and ten crossbows from the shop, and through inspection, the slain officials and guards were found to have died from the arrows of these swords and crossbows! ”

Zhao Junsheng felt strange: "In the middle of the night, how did the envoys and guards run to the City God Temple?" What did they have with An Dashi? Why did An Dashi kill them? Now that the Bada people are ruling Tocharostan, An Dashi is not worried that he will be copied by the Bada people in Tocharostan's hometown? ”

Zhao Ping nodded: "Yes, this is also what Erchen and other subordinate officials are puzzled about, just like my Daqian's envoy sent to the Southern Dynasty and was killed by Daqian's merchants in Jiankang City, An Dashi's abnormal behavior is really incomprehensible!" However, the Imperial City Division is interrogating An Dashi and his subordinates, and I believe that they will soon be able to compete for it! ”

Zhao Junsheng asked, "What is the second thing you want to report?" ”

"Does my father remember the Central Plains Swordsman?"

"Seems to be a little impressive!"

"It is the moment when he assassinated the envoy of the Thirsty Pantuo Kingdom, the assassin who assassinated the high-ranking officials of the Wei State six times in a row twenty years ago!"

Zhao Junsheng patted his head: "I remembered, by the way, what is his real name?" ”

"Willow with the wind!"

Zhao Junsheng sneered: "What a poetic name!" You mentioned him so suddenly? ”

"Since the assassination of the envoy half a year ago was solved, then he was also rounded up and caught by us, after the trial of the three divisions, sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, and now there is still more than half a year before the autumn queen, so he has been locked up in the prison waiting for the time to behead! After the case of the Persian prince Belus being assassinated by more than a dozen killers outside the city, our Imperial City Division examined the bodies of several killed Persian warriors, and found that almost all of their fatal injuries were in the same parts, and the position of the knife was only different from the front and back, and the strength was slightly different. Father, think about it, how serious this must be, and how dangerous is it to the security of my Daqian that someone has trained a large number of assassins? ”

"So what? What do you want to say? ”

"Father, we don't know the situation in the assassin and killer world, and we don't know their martial arts paths, so we can't judge the inheritance of those assassin killers, but someone knows ······"

Zhao Junsheng was surprised: "You don't want to bring Liu Suifeng up to help you solve the case, right?" ”

Zhao Ping arched his hand: "Father's discerning eyes can see the thoughts of his sons at a glance!" Erchen went to see him in the prison, described the shape and depth of the wounds on the corpses of those Persian warriors, and asked him if he knew the path of these assassins, he said that he knew, and there was a way to find those assassins······ He wants to be exonerated from the charge! ”

Zhao Junsheng understood Zhao Ping's thoughts, "Do you want me to issue an amnesty to him?" ”

“······ Be! ”

"It can't be!" Zhao Junsheng shook his head and flatly refused, "There are countless people who have died in his hands over the years, and it is impossible for such a heinous criminal to be pardoned!" ”

"Father's ······"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "You go and tell him that if he can assist the government in solving this case, I will ask Dali Temple to consider exempting him from the death penalty, and solve another case, and the sentence will be changed to twenty years, and every time he assists the government in solving a major case in the future, the sentence will be reduced by one year!" ”

"No! If you want him to assist in the investigation, you must bring him out of the prison, but he is a death row prisoner, and the prison needs a joint temporary release letter from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and because he is a felony who assassinated the envoy, both Dali Temple and the Criminal Department dare not be specialized, saying that they need the father's handwritten edict to hand over people! ”

Back in the imperial study, Zhao Junsheng personally wrote a handwritten edict, due to the needs of official business, it was decided to temporarily transfer the death row prisoner Liu Suifeng to the custody of the Imperial City Division, and the Imperial City Division made a guarantee, once the repeat offender Liu Suifeng absconded or had other problems during the custody of the Imperial City Division, all the Imperial City Division took responsibility, and ordered Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to cooperate with the Imperial City Division to carry out.

After Zhao Ping got the edict, he immediately went to Dali Temple, and then went to the Criminal Department, and took the temporary transfer letter issued by these two yamen to bring Liu Suifeng out.

Liu Suifeng was a tall and thin man in his forties, with a disheveled hair and a fairly clean prison suit, his face was indifferent, and he had heavy shackles on his hands and feet.

He was ushered into the morgue, and Zhao Ping motioned for a servant next to him to lift the white cloth from the corpses of all the Persian warriors, revealing the wound on his neck.

But when Liu Suifeng saw the knife on the corpse's neck, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes became solemn, and his expression was completely different from before.

"Have you ever seen a knife wound like this?" Zhao Ping noticed the change in the expression on Liu Suifeng's face.

Liu Suifeng looked at all the knife wounds on the corpses, and after a long time, he sighed: "More than twenty years ago, there was another person who debuted with me, he was my senior brother, we were taught martial arts and killing skills by the same person, but we learned differently, each with its own characteristics, at that time, his reputation in this industry was much more than mine, and he would leave a cross wound on the deceased's body as his mark after each assassination, in fact, this is also the famous trick that many high-level assassins have always used, mysterious and public!" The wounds on these corpses were all caused by his famous stunt backhand knife! The backhand knife, which is used in a way that people think is impossible, is hard to guard against! ”
