Rules, the word in ancient times was two kinds of tools, rules and rules, rules are naturally compasses, and moments are tools used to draw straight lines. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

These two tools became the originators of ancient surveying.

Because of this, Xiao Ming no longer needs to think about how to produce tools such as compasses and rulers, because the Great Yu Kingdom already has them.

Uniform weights and measures are now an improvement, not a subversion.

So let Chen Wenlong bring a compass and a ruler, he measured the size of the millimeter, and used the compass to cross on the ruler against the millimeter size in the science and technology library, and every step of the compass was a millimeter, and then Xiao Ming nodded a point.

When a compass had reached the end of a meter, he stopped, and then continued to draw vertical lines on it, clearly millimeters, centimeters, and marking.

In order to pursue your precision, he was busy for an hour before he drew this ruler perfectly.

At this time, he looked at the ruler in the science and technology library, and there was basically not much error, and he couldn't do anything about the micron-level error.

And the current Qingzhou industry is enough to take the ruler he drawn, after all, it is impossible for the machinery produced at this stage to be error-free.

To make this ruler, Xiao Ming handed over the ruler to Chen Wenlong and instructed him to produce it according to the standard of the ruler and apply the ruler to all the workshops in Qingzhou.

"Your Highness, is it really okay to change the weights and measures of the Great Yu Kingdom?" Chen Wenlong was still used to the previous weights and measures, so he was a little awkward when he saw the ruler.

Xiao Ming said: "This is not only a matter of weights and measures, this is a problem of industry, if Qingzhou's industrial products are produced with this precision size, outsiders do not use the same standard is not so easy to imitate Qingzhou's goods, and once the tool is produced, the lathe is put into use, Qingzhou may have to produce more sophisticated industrial products in the future, how to produce without this fine size, and then the lathe also needs to engrave the size." ”

Chen Wenlong seemed to understand, "It turns out that this is the reason, because the lower officials are stupid." ”

Then Chen Wenlong continued to ask: "Your Highness values this knife now, could it be that Your Highness wants to have a new masterpiece?" ”

Chen Wenlong mentioned this, Xiao Ming's heart suddenly waved, now it is the eighteenth century, in modern times, the West has eliminated the arquebus and replaced it with a flintlock pistol, and now the Great Chongqing Kingdom does not even have a firecracker shotgun, which is too big a pace to be pulled down, which is basically equivalent to the West driving a steamship at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is still in the era of sail warships. ”

Therefore, the reason why he is in a hurry about the tool is that once the lathe has a qualified tool, he will start to produce precision seamless steel pipes.

That's right, he mastered the art of forging steel pipes with coiled iron, which could also be used to produce muskets.

But the production of artillery, steel workshops, glass workshops, etc., had stretched the slaves to the limit.

So at that time, he had to have a choice between producing artillery or muskets, and in the end he chose artillery, because technically artillery was easier to produce, and iron mold casting technology was enough to allow artillery to be produced quickly.

At that time, muskets had to be hammered and forged by craftsmen one by one, even so, the ability at that time could only produce arquebuses, and the battle of Cangzhou held at most hundreds of arquebuses against an army of 100,000 barbarians, and this arquebus was probably not as effective as a bow and arrow on the city wall, because according to the records, a well-trained arquebus shooter could fire 2 rounds every 3 minutes.

This fatal speed is also the reason why Xiao Ming did not plan to produce arquebuses, and it is foolish to produce a backward firearm when the West may have completely phased out arquebuses.

So his goal is to produce flintlock pistols directly, shorten the generation gap of weapons, and not waste time on the production of obsolete weapons.

However, this arquebus can also be used, because once the flintlock pistol appears, it will inevitably cause the snooping of all forces in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and it is also possible to push the arquebus out as a shield at that time.

Although Xiao Ming now has this idea, the structure of the flintlock pistol is more complicated, and this barrel is only one of them, and there is also a spring in it, and the excitation structure needs to be manufactured.

Neither of these things has to be simple at all with a barrel.

In view of this, Xiao Ming did not answer Chen Wenlong's question, but passed with a haha.

After all, Chen Wenlong is an official, not a technician like Chen Qi, so it is useless to say more.

After instructing the production of knives and molds, Xiao Ming went to the palace, and it was already noon.

When passing by Dongshi, he suddenly heard a familiar melody coming, hearing this voice, Xiao Ming smiled, this aster is very neat.

This version of the white-haired girl of the Great Chongqing Kingdom is staged among the people.

"Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, go with this king to have a look?" Xiao Ming asked with a smile.

During the last Spring Festival, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu were not in the palace, but went home for the New Year, and learned that the drama in the palace was very exciting, and the two were looking forward to it.

Moreover, the two of them also heard the first words of the play, and when they heard it at this time, they immediately understood.

"Your Highness, this is the white-haired girl, right?" Zhao Long and Zhao Hu said happily.

Xiao Ming nodded, "That's right, you went home for the New Year at that time, and you didn't have a chance to see it, but now you can really watch it." ”

Hearing this, the two nodded.

With that, the three of them walked over to a stage in the East Market.

The reason why Xiao Ming wanted to join in the fun was not to relive this drama, but to see the reaction of the people, and he could count on this white-haired girl to spread to other feudal kingdoms through the people.

That's what he wants to do.

"Other people's daughters have flowers to wear, and my father can't buy them with little money......"

When the three of them arrived, Xi'er on the stage was about to finish singing her lyrics, and many people watched on the stage.

They can't take their eyes off one by one, in such an era of lack of entertainment, but there are too few entertainment projects, and today there is this kind of ingenious drama, and the people suddenly can't move.

"What kind of drama is this? How have I never seen it. ”

"Yes, it's a strange song, but it's good."

"It is said that this is Chen Laoshi's troupe, and they used to sing liuzi opera, but now how can they sing this."

“……”

Standing on the stage, the people's discussions came to Xiao Ming's ears.

On the stage, Xi'er sang the opening song and began to enter the plot, and at this time, the people's discussion stopped, but indulged in the performance of the drama, this kind of down-to-earth drama, let the people quickly substitute.

Xiao Ming never watched the play, at this time, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu also stared intently at the performance on the stage, coupled with the state of the people around him, he nodded slightly with satisfaction, it seems that this new type of drama is very promising to spread among the people.
