Chapter 299 Inspecting the Foundry
Sun Quan's heart-wrenching words made everyone feel relieved and there were no so many concerns in his heart. Sun Quan felt that he felt a more comfortable feeling at this time.
Then after dinner, everyone was about to go back and do their own things. Sun Quan said again: "Gongjin, Xiao Fenghuang, you two will take some time tomorrow and call Kan Ze of the Logistics Department. Let's go to inspect the foundry workshop of the Logistics Department, see the situation of the Modao and other weapons they cast, and also learn about everyone's mentality and thoughts after we awarded them the title."
After Zhou Yu and Pang Tong agreed, everyone went back separately. Sun Quan was no longer going to approve any documents. He went directly to see his woman from the Imperial Garden. When he remembered Pang Xiaoye of the Pang family, he ran to find Xiaoye. After meeting, he felt intimate. Xiaoye was still a little shy. After all, it was in broad daylight. Sun Quan was different from other people. When he was with his woman, he did not allow his servants to follow him. The old lady had heard that the princes and princes had to arrange to serve him when they went to bed with his woman, so Sun Quan directly abolished this breaking rule.
Sun Quan lay on the boat and hugged Xiaoye and said, "Xiaoye, I found an errand for your father today and asked him to be the minister of a new department I added. He is a second-rank senior official. Even the younger Phoenix has an almost high position."
Xiao Ye lay down on Sun Quan's chest and whispered: "Does my king look at my face or is it because of my father's ability?"
Sun Quan smiled and said, "This, both are there. Your father has dealt with me a lot recently. I know him better and know that he can do this. Moreover, he is Xiao Ye's father, so I naturally trust him more."
Xiao Ye said again: "My king, why aren't I pregnant yet? Several sisters have given birth to many children, and I want to give birth to one for me, Wang!"
"Haha, don't worry, it's time to go! Besides, your four sisters are pregnant now, and if you are pregnant again, who will I go to?!"
"I can find Sister Nian Nujiao, I still know this, haha..."
"Little girl, I know a lot of things!"
"That's what everyone knows!"
"Xiao Ye, it seems that you have to be punished again."
"Who is afraid of whom!"
When it was dark, Nian Nujiao asked someone to bring dinner. The three of them had a meal together. Nian Nujiao said while eating: "My king, the little prince and the little princess are both quite old. Now they can go to school. I don't know what my king plans!"
Sun Quan felt that the Qing Dynasty was still very good for the education of these children. The Qing Dynasty emperors were usually relatively qualified because they had a relatively good education, so he said: "Well, what you said is indeed a very important thing. In this way, find a yard and build a primary school. Among the ministers, they also choose some similar children to come in, study with them, and find a few teachers to teach them. They must be strict teachers. Then their learning content must be rich and there must be a variety of things. This can refer to our local education, but they must learn some historical and legal knowledge from an early age, and then they must have a labor class."
Xiao Ye said, "My king, why do you need labor classes? Do the princes and princesses still have to work?"
Sun Quan said: "Yes, let them know that labor is hard, which will be beneficial to their future development. You are the same. You should also understand that labor is very hard, and it is very hard for ordinary people to grow grain and produce all kinds of things, so that we will know more about frugality and cherishing."
Xiao Ye can usually be very aristocratic. After hearing Sun Quan's words, he said, "My king, I will find out in the future. I have changed a lot now."
The next day, Sun Quan took Zhou Yu and Pang Tong to the foundry workshop of the logistics department, and could hear the jingling irons inside from afar. After Sun Quan brought a few people to the house, everyone put down what they were doing to salute Sun Quan. Then Sun Quan found a few people to come out and asked them about their thoughts and opinions after the title was awarded.
Craftsmen are generally more practical. One craftsman said, "My king, I have never thought that I, a blacksmith, have the rank of lieutenant. These are all gone in front of the ancestors and ancestors when I returned. Although the treatment was good in the past, we craftsmen have been a craftsman for the rest of our lives, and no one thinks we can have any future. But now we think that we are a blacksmith, which is also glorious and promising."
Another blacksmith said, "Yes, my king, our children can study and be examined as officials now, which has already satisfied us. But now we craftsmen have also obtained military ranks, so we craftsmen are like soldiers. We all know that we are valued by our king. Now when we walk outside, we will not feel inferior."
Everyone started talking happily, and finally Sun Quan said, "Everyone is right. Whether it is craftsmen, soldiers, or our officials, they are all my subjects. It's just because everyone is good at different things, but for our country, everyone is the same and very important, so don't think that you are worse than others."
After seeing the blacksmith, I learned about some of the situations in casting the Modao, and then went to the area where the swords were cast. The swords were the most demanding in the army, and this one was sold by everyone.
Sun Quan saw many people sawing wood from afar, and Sun Quan asked, "Derun, why are there so many carpenters in the casting workshop?"
Kan Ze said, "My king, this is the one who makes the hilt of a sword. Now they are sawing the wood to the size of a sword hilt and then processing it."
Sun Quan said: "Why don't you use hydraulic power to make a power saw? It's too slow!"
Kan Ze said, "My king, now we have many tools that use hydraulic power, but how can we use the sawing wood? The saw is pulled back and forth, so we cannot use the hydraulic power."
Sun Quan said, "Derun, you have to make your mind more active and learn to innovate. The saw does not necessarily have to be a rectangular shape. If you make a disk and the outer edges are also jagged, allowing the water to drive the disk to rotate, and then you press the wood against the disk with force, then you can saw the wood off?"
Kan Ze now has some understanding of these things, so he began to simulate it in his mind, and then said: "My king is really wise. I think this is very feasible. I will arrange for someone to experiment!"
