Zhiyao knows that fables are just stories, not necessarily events that actually happened.
For example, many tools were not invented by the Public Transport Ban, but people attribute the inventors of those tools to the Public Transport Ban.
It's just that people who can be used to be "framed" have great reputations. Since their reputations are widely spread, it will be easier for future generations to get things done by borrowing their names.
"Is this a saw?" The public transportation class saw many styles of saws.
There are straight saws, bow saws, short saws, long saws, etc. Depending on the size of the saw, their tooth spacing and length are determined.
Even though it is just a saw, the technical content inside is terrifying, and it is a test of smelting technology.
Gongshu Ban asked again: "Made of evil gold?"
No, it is more advanced than evil metal and belongs to the first generation of steel.
Next, Zhiyao showed off planes, drills, ink fountains and other objects, which made Gongshu Ban dazzled and deeply shocked.
Zhiyao is waiting, waiting to see if Gongshu Ban can discover the key.
The public transportation class did not disappoint Zhiyao. He held a ruler and said: "Measurement is the foundation of all work."
This sentence is so true!
The measurement standards must be unified before we can produce items with the same appearance. Unified standards are indispensable if we want to implement assembly line production.
Zhiyao could not guarantee that the measurement was completely correct, so the measurement he came up with was the same as the modern counting unit. At present, it can only be accurate to millimeters, and the higher counting units are named centimeters, meters, miles, and kilometers. Li is not what it is now.
Four hundred meters becomes five hundred meters, and one kilometer becomes one thousand meters.
For other families, let’s not mention how they measure. The smallest unit of counting is cents, followed by inches, feet, feet, and miles.
When determining distances, many families cannot calculate the unit of "minutes" at all. At most, they can only ensure the accuracy of "inches".
Where is it difficult to accurately reflect it? For example, when measuring acres of land, people do not use a long ruler to calculate, but use people to walk, and walking about 120 steps is one mile.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, an acre was actually an area about 400 meters long and wide. There would be differences in the respective areas due to different people taking the steps.
The Zhi family's ability to be accurate to the millimeter actually means that it is at least three hundred years ahead of other families, not to mention the other benefits brought about by the unification of measurements.
What's the benefit? Look at the equipment of the Zhishi's new army. Every sword, knife, spear, and spear is absolutely the same length.
Measurement also provides Zhishi with great convenience in the production of arrowheads. Strict standards are implemented in manufacturing molds, and there will never be an error of more than one millimeter in each finished arrowhead.
Standard equipment is not only easier to produce, but also saves manpower and other costs. After being installed, the military appearance it gives to the army cannot be compared to that of other brand-name equipment.
The importance of measurement will also be reflected in the production of other equipment, such as chariot crossbows, bed crossbows, siege towers, etc.
"Does the Zhi family inherit the family's inheritance?" Gongshu Ban asked such a question because he was more courageous.
Zhiyao shook his head, pointed at himself, and said, "They were all created by Yao."
The public transportation class has asked a question that should not be asked. Even if there are still many doubts in the heart, one should not question it anymore.
It is very realistic that he would have that idea. Any idea needs a system as a basis, and when it comes to the production and innovation of tools, it also needs to rely on the system, which means that it needs to be passed down as a foundation.
In fact, it is the same. Even if technology seems to be very primitive, how can it be without relevant accumulation?
That kind of accumulation is the system, the indispensable foundation!
Inheritance? Of course Zhiyao has inheritance. It relies on the development and changes of Zhuxia for thousands of years and is not stolen from other families.
Therefore, if someone travels back to ancient times, he must keep in mind that he is not struggling alone. In fact, it is the accumulation of countless ancestors that enables him to learn so much knowledge in modern times.
Gongshuban may be very smart and good at inventing and creating, but they still stand on the accumulation of ancestors of past generations.
"Lai Zhishi really came to the right place! There are many tools that I have never seen before, and some of them are exactly what I want to invent but have no inspiration for the time being." What Gongshu Ban didn't know was that some of his inventions were plagiarized by Zhiyao.
Zhiyao was the first to invent not only the tools used by craftsmen, but also ladders and siege towers.
In the original version of the history, Gongshu Ban came to Chu State to invent the aerial ladder when he was old, which led to the appearance of the finished aerial ladder in the history of the wars between the Xia Dynasty. Later, he repeatedly fought with Mozi. The two fought very happily, which gave future generations the opportunity to attack.
There are too many equipment to choose from on the city and its defense.
"Yes, with the Gongshu Ban, can we have Mozi again?" Zhiyao is serious about collecting talents.
What he didn't know was that Mozi was not born yet.
At the same time, he could tell from the name "Lu Ban" that Gongshu Ban was born in the state of Lu, but he really didn't know where Mozi was from.
Mozi was a native of the Song Dynasty. He was also a prince of the Song Dynasty. When he came of age, he served as a titled official in the Song Dynasty. Later, he studied Confucianism with Confucianists. After completing his studies, he founded the Mohist school of thought.
During the heyday of Mohism, who among the people of the Warring States Period did not know that "neither Confucianism nor Mohism" was known? As for why Mohism later became mortal enemies with Confucianism, it was actually because of issues related to orthodoxy.
It’s not that learning the orthodoxy can lead to ascension. To put it bluntly, there are so many academic contradictions that it is difficult for the two to coexist.
Of course, at the time when Mohism and Confucianism were difficult to coexist, Confucius was no longer around, and it was Mozi who led his disciples to scorn Confucianism. Later, Confucian disciples and Mohist disciples started to fight against each other.
What was the situation at that time? When the two sides met, they would first use their words to try to make the other party surrender. If their words didn't work, they would try to use physical means, so that Confucianists or Mohists without any force could not travel around the world. The disciples of the two schools were among hundreds of schools of thought.
Zhongdu are all outstanding people who can "convince people with reason". So the "reason" is the reason of physics, not the reason of doctrine. Do you understand?
Zhiyao wanted to get more talents when he came to Longwangshu. He sent people to a certain place after he had some impressions. It didn't matter if he failed. Anyway, the Zhi family had a big business and could withstand such troubles. If they could snare one, it would be a profit.
"Everything Ban wants to do, he will tell Hu, and Zhi will agree to it." Zhi Yao felt that she could be greatly liberated and no longer had to spend so much time inventing and creating tools.
In the past, Gongshu Ban would have felt fearful, but after getting along with Zhiyao for a while, he felt that Zhiyao and Gongshu's ideas were very consistent. Although their goals were different, they were somewhat similar, so his mentality naturally relaxed.
"Wei!" Gongshuban deserves to be crisp and clear.
After a period of communication, Zhiyao knew that Gongshu Ban was still in the growth stage, and some people from the Gongshu family were actually better at craftsmanship than Gongshu Ban.
But what? Some people may have good skills, but they can only complete the tasks assigned by others and do not take the initiative to think about what they should create.
Zhiyao has already mentioned the concepts related to bed crossbows and trebuchets to Gongshu Ban, and even took Gongshu Ban and other people from the Gongshu clan to see the experimental products that were still being made, asking them to conduct research and deliver the finished product one day.
Made.
The fact is that Zhiyao can ask the craftsmen to make a specious instrument based on his memory, but it is unclear whether it can be used or not.
There is nothing surprising in that. Things like instruments seem to have the same shape. If there are omissions in the parts, the value of a model is really not practical. Even if it can be used, there is still a difference in performance.
After all, Zhiyao is not a professional. He can usually only propose an idea. It is the craftsman who truly turns the idea into a reality.
With the addition of Gongshu, many of Zhiyao's ideas can be realized, and even more new creations can be derived.
Of course, Zhiyao did not simply use the Gongshu clan to display his talents in the military industry.
The Gongshu family is a family with a long history. Each member has his or her own expertise. Due to their family education, they are more specialized in fortification. Others can only be regarded as small hobbies of the family members. Some members like to invent and innovate, while others focus on it.
on the reform of agricultural tools.
Therefore, Zhiyao implemented democracy. No matter which member of the Gongshu clan preferred to do something, they provided a stage and provided materials, without fear of risking death or causing possible waste.
The Gongshu clan is a noble, but not really a big noble. Usually, they can only make great achievements if they are hired, and most of the time they are very poor.
Therefore, for the members of the Gongshu family, coming to Zhishi, which can provide unlimited resources, is like arriving in heaven.
To be honest, there are not many families with the conditions of the Zhi family nowadays. Even if some families are not short of resources, they still have to be willing to do all kinds of things, right?
Zhishi has enough resources, really!
No matter how prodigal Zhiyao is, if he doesn't cause trouble to the point of ruining his family, his progress will be much faster than he can manage.
The cost of one battle was actually enough for the Gongshu family to spend more than ten years.
If Gongshu could improve or create some valuable tools, would the benefits be more than just the capture of a victory?
"With public transportation, it will take three years to build the city." Zhiyao had already returned to the capital and reported to Zhishen immediately.
Zhishen blinked when he heard this and thought: "So powerful? It should have taken seven or eight years."
It really takes so long to build a city now. Most of the time is spent on collecting materials and transforming and processing the materials. Then there is the lack of supervision by a "foreman".
Zhishen mentioned other things and said: "The Fox family attacked Linhu; the Zhao family attacked Zhongshan; the Wei family plundered Nanrong. How will my family do next year?"
Just tell me? Zhiyao guessed it right.
The Jin State is afraid of each other internally. If each family wants to gain population and materials, they will definitely look for targets outside.
Zhiyao looked at Zhishen intently for a while, and saw that Zhishen felt a little nervous, and then asked: "Sir, do you want to do something?"
Didn’t we agree to concentrate on domestic affairs and complete the first five-year plan?
Zhishen said in embarrassment: "If my family does nothing, his family..."
"!!!" Zhiyao was alerted!
Is this really the case? Other families are making noises, but the Zhi family is not making any movements at all. It is really a bit unsociable. Besides, the Zhi family is not the Han family. If there is no movement, it is easy for others to be jealous.
