"Technical secrecy?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xia Hongsheng: "Xia Qing, let's talk carefully." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "Your Majesty, what Weichen said about technical secrecy means that in order to safeguard the technical rights and interests of our Datang, we should formulate a set of clear and specific confidentiality regulations, form national norms, and then follow the national standard procedures to take various protective measures to protect the skills and achievements of our Datang, and not be learned by personnel from other countries." ”

"Do you mean, just like I strictly forbade the private casting of 100 steels, and forbade the spread of 100 steel knives?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "I naturally know the stakes involved, and I have already strictly ordered that these things cannot be passed on. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that it is far from enough to achieve this level, and he has not maximized our technological leadership." Xia Hongsheng saluted Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, let's talk about what is the technological leadership first. For example, just like growing grain, the people of the Central Plains have been growing grain for generations, knowing when to sow seeds, when to water, when to fertilize, when to weed, and when to harvest. What we know is the technology for growing food. Because of these technologies, as long as there are no natural and man-made disasters and no chaos in the world, the people of the Central Plains can rely on this kind of grain planting technology to cultivate the fields and then harvest a lot of grain. And the Turks, who do not know how to get seeds, do not know when to sow seeds, do not know what can be grown in what places, do not have these technologies for growing food, so they cannot eat food. You can only eat beef and mutton. Only money can be spent on food from the Central Plains. And even if they give them food, they won't farm. In contrast, it is natural that the Central Plains people profit. Your Majesty, this is the technological advantage. Nowadays, our Datang has many skills that are far ahead of other countries around us, such as the 100 steelmaking technology you just mentioned. We have the technology of 100 steel, so we can make 100 steel knives, which are more tough and sharp, and more hard. And the Turks did not have such technology. So they can't make a hundred steel knives. In this way, we have an advantage in weapons when fighting. But if one day they learn the technology of 100 steelmaking, they will also be able to make 100 steel knives, and at that time, our advantage in weapons will not exist. ”

Xia Hongsheng explained to Li Shimin: "On the other hand, the Turks have better horse training and horse breeding skills, so their war horses are stronger than our war horses, have better physical strength, and run faster. And we don't have this kind of horse raising technology, so our war horses are not as good as the Turks. Therefore, the Turks have sacrificed a lot of war horses, but because we don't know how to raise them. So it gradually depleted, and after all, there was still no good war horse like the Turks. But if one day we get that kind of horse breeding technology, we can also raise good war horses according to this technology, then the Turkic advantage will no longer exist. Therefore, it plays a very important role in the secrecy of leading technology. ”

"Go on." Li Shimin was expressionless and listened quietly.

"After these examples, I believe that Your Majesty has understood the importance of technical secrecy. On the other hand, in China, the technical secrecy work is actually very inadequate. Of course, a few days ago, Yan Shangshu went to Weichen's house, and Weichen knew that there was already a military aircraft workshop, which is a great progress in our Datang in terms of technical secrecy, and it is also the embodiment of His Majesty's Shengming. Listing these important confidential technologies separately and placing them under the responsibility of a separate specialized agency is only the first step in the work of technical secrecy. Subsequently, there is also the aspect of personnel selection, as well as the aspect of related personnel. His Majesty had already noticed that His Majesty had asked Yan Shangshu to choose homeless craftsmen to avoid being coerced, which was very effective. In addition, we can also take other measures, such as gathering the craftsmen's families in a separate place for the craftsmen's families to live in, and sending troops to protect them, so that the craftsmen can not only feel at ease, but also make the craftsmen's families hostages in our hands, so as to prevent any craftsman from being bought. In addition, it is also very important to use a set of effective production methods to prevent the craftsman from knowing all the processes of a certain confidential object. ”

"Wait, Xia Qing, I understand both of what you said earlier, and I am very attentive. The order of Yan Shangshu to supervise the military machine workshop was also out of this consideration. Nowadays, I Datang has too many things that cannot be obtained by others, such as 100 steel, such as new swords, such as horseshoe, such as salt making, such as Xia Qing's telescope...... If these things fall into the hands of the enemy, it will be very harmful to my Datang, so I ordered Yan Shangshu to set up a separate military aircraft workshop to specialize in the production of these confidential objects. Li Shimin said to Xia Hongsheng: "But what Xia Qing said, to avoid letting craftsmen know the production of confidential objects, I want to ask, if you don't let craftsmen know how to make them, then how can this thing be made?" ”

"Regarding this, Weichen has a set of craftsman production methods dedicated to His Majesty, and at the same time, there are specific methods on how to give full play to the advantages of technology and maximize the benefits of my Datang through technology. Wechen are all written in this book, and please look at it! Xia Hongsheng bowed, stretched out his hands to present the music, and Wang De immediately went over to take it and presented it to Li Shimin.

"Well, I will take a look at ...... "Report on Carrying out Technical Secrecy, Using Technological Advantages to Obtain Economic Benefits, and Standardizing Assembly Line Production Methods...... Hehe, Xia Qing's recital is still like this...... Well, to put it bluntly! After Li Shimin took Xia Hongsheng's recital, he looked down at the cover, couldn't help but laugh dumbly, shook his head, and turned to the second page and began to read.

That is, thousands of years later, the descendants may still be able to unearth the music left by the elder brother, and they will be shocked to death when the time comes! Haha, when the time comes, whatever is written in the news can be imagined - shocked! Zhaoling discovered the modern Kumon style, which was identified by experts as belonging to the Tang Dynasty! Coincidental? Through?

Xia Hongsheng thought in his heart, and while watching Li Shimin's reaction, he saw Li Shimin's brows furrowed when he looked at it. Xia Hongsheng wrote much more specific and detailed than what Fang just said, and I believe that as long as Li Lao Er is not confused, he will be able to realize the gold content of this recital.

Sure enough, the more Li Shimin looked back, the more surprised the look on his face became, and when he saw the back, he raised his head suddenly, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "Xia Qing, this standardized assembly line production, and it is fast for me!" ”

"Wechen obeys!" Xia Hongsheng bowed and bowed, and then explained, "Actually, it's easy to understand, Your Majesty. I also ask Your Majesty to allow Wei Chen to ask the king a few questions. ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang De, and saw that Wang De was also surprised, so he nodded: "Ask." ”

Xia Hongsheng saluted again, and then asked: "Chief Manager Wang has been in the palace for a long time, do you know who makes the clothes in this palace?" ”

"If you go back to Xiahou, the clothes in the palace are all made by the palace maid in the dressing room." Wang De bowed to Xia Hongsheng and replied.

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and asked again: "Then let me ask Manager Wang again, how many days does it take for this palace maid tailor to make a piece of clothing?" ”

"This ...... It depends on what kind of clothes are used. If it is the clothes worn by ordinary palace attendants, cut and sewn, I am afraid that it will take three or four days for a piece of clothing. Wang De still bowed and replied.

"Then I asked again, if you teach that palace maid to make only one sleeve, how long will it take?" Xia Hongsheng asked again.

"I only make sleeves...... It's going to be a lot faster, just a few scissors! Wang De replied: "Presumably one hour is enough!" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "What if you make skirts?" ”

Wang De looked at Xia Hongsheng suspiciously: "It's just a few scissors, no more than two hours." ”

"Yes, if it's sleeves and skirts...... And so on, the items needed on the clothes are ready-made, and they only need to be sewn together to become a piece of clothing, and how much time does it take? ”

Wang De thought for a while and replied: "If the ready-made ones are only sewn together, it will be fast, and it will not take more than two hours." ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled with his chin raised, turned to Li Shimin and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the assembly line production that Weichen said." It takes three or four days for a tailor to make a garment. It only takes a few hours to make a sleeve and a skirt. In this way, if I get a few more tailors, one who specializes in sleeves, I can make sleeves for several days in a day; One specializes in only making skirts, and can make many skirts in a day; One specializes in only shoulder stalks, and I don't know how many shoulder slabs I make in a day...... The last one just sews together the things that have been done in front of me, and I don't know how many pieces I can sew up in a day...... So, how many pieces of clothing can be made in those three or four days? Moreover, if it is made according to this method, the sleeves will only be made into the sleeves, the skirts will only be made into skirts, and the sewn will only know how to sew them together, but not the parts. In this way, even if any one of the tailors is caught, he will not be able to make a complete piece of clothing, and the secrecy will be greatly improved. ”

Li Shimin stroked his beard and smiled: "Not bad! And so it was! As far as the bow and arrow is concerned, it takes an hour for a person to make a bow and arrow, but if you only make arrows, it is only a few teas, and it is only a few teas to make tail feathers. If you put these times on one person, it will take an hour to make a shot, but if you put it on three people, you can make a shot in a few cups of tea! Good! That's a great way! Not only the military workshop, but also other objects, you can do the same! In this way, the efficiency of production will be greatly improved! All right! Good! Xia Qing's method is comparable to the method of making salt in my opinion! ”

"That's right, Your Majesty's ability to draw inferences from one case to another, Weichen admires!" Xia Hongsheng sent a horse not too much.

Li Shimin laughed, laughed and laughed, but suddenly stopped again, raised his head suddenly, and said, "No! …… Xia Qing, there is still a problem here! (To be continued......)
