Chapter 155
"In terms of drawings, instruct those shipbuilders to study as big as they are, and as for wood, Ru don't worry."
Liu Yu looked at Ou Xing and ordered.
In terms of wood, Liu Yu forgot about it last time in the flood wilderness, but it doesn't matter, the next time he goes to the flood wilderness, he only needs to cut down some trees in the flood wilderness, and he will be satisfied with the use.
"Minister, obey the order."
When Ou Xing heard this, he nodded and replied.
As for the rest, as a courtier, he certainly understood that there were some things that he should not know, so don't ask indiscriminately.
Just like those stones, where did it come from?
There must be a big secret in it, but Ou Xing has never asked and will not inquire.
"In addition, the issue of road construction should also be put on the agenda of the Ministry of Work." Liu Yu looked at Ou Xing and ordered~.
The current roads, even official roads, are some dirt roads, it's good if it doesn't rain, once it goes down, it's simply all possible - no.
As for the problem of building roads, Liu Yu has long thought and done.
"Lord, I don't know the specifications of this road construction?" Ou Xing looked at Liu Yu and asked.
Building roads is not a modern thing, and roads were also built in ancient times, but the specifications of road construction are different.
It depends on whether it is an official road or a way.
"Take Qin Zhidao as an example."
Liu Yu ordered Ou Xing.
The eight-hundred-kilometer-long Qin Straight Road, knowing that now, the Han Dynasty has always been in use, but some places have been abandoned.
The reason why this is so is because the maintenance of Qin Straight Road is too wasteful of manpower and material resources.
"Wangshang, between the cities, take Qin Zhidao as an example?" Ou Xing was slightly stunned and asked.
"That's right"
Liu Yu nodded and confirmed again: "Between the cities, take the twenty-zhang-wide Qin Straight Road as an example. "
Twenty zhang is the distance of Shi wide.
The widest part of the Qin Straight Road is sixty meters wide.
Of course, there are also narrow places.
"As for the city between the city and the villages and eups, it does not have to be too wide, it is enough to use ten zhang." Liu Yu thought for a moment and spoke.
According to Liu Yu's idea, as long as the road is completed, all the territory under his command will be completely connected.
"Lord, in this way, the siege of the city is huge, and it requires too many manpower and material resources, I am afraid it will crowd out the construction speed of the divine city." Ou Xing lowered his head and said.
No way, he can only tell the truth.
The construction of the Divine City itself requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
And the construction of roads is even more so.
Taking Qin Zhidao as an example, it would take half a million people and five years to repair Youzhou alone.
It's still fast.
If we add Union Prefecture and Jizhou, when encountering mountains and opening mountains, and encountering water to build bridges, the manpower and material resources required will be even greater.
"The speed of Divine City cannot be delayed."
Liu Yu instructed Ou Xing: "In terms of manpower, the lone will find a way for you." "
Liu Yu has already thought about it.
After the next flood, I will make wood and then come back to build big ships.
If you can't go to Heizhou, you can't catch black slaves, then you can only come closer, such as the natives on Wajima, who are not the best laborers.
There are quite a few people in Wajima, not to mention more, I think there should be tens of millions of people.
In addition to Wajima, there are also Nanyang Islands.
The island countries of Nanyang are all a bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, which can be seen from the development of later generations.
If this is the case, arrest them all to build roads and build the country.
Regardless of the other emperors, anyway, what Liu Yu has always advocated is the concept of inner saints and outer kings.
If it is not my race, its heart will be different.
"Yes, my lord."
Ou Xing nodded in reply.
Immediately afterwards, Ou Xing reported on the situation of the Ministry of Engineering.
For example, forging weapons, armor matters.
In the battle of cold weapons, the key to victory or defeat is not only because of personal courage and force, but also the weapon armor.
For example, two people, one is particularly strong, and the other is just an ordinary person.
If neither side has weapons, it must be a strong win.
But if there are weapons, the result will be different, and the probability of winning will be reduced for the strong.
If, with the addition of armor, weapons plus armor, the loser must be a strong person.
Therefore, the two armies are at war, and weapons and armor are also the top priority.
At present, Liu Yu's army of hundreds of thousands and the assembly rate of armor have reached nearly half.
The Praetorian Guard, the Royal Forest Army, and the Yulin Guard are all armoured, and as for the other troops, less than half of them are armored.
It's not that Liu Yu is short of money and reluctant.
The main thing is that the speed of casting is too slow, there is no way, there are too few craftsmen, and you can't always reduce the quality in order to speed up.
"At present, the Ordnance Bureau can manufacture three thousand pieces of armor per month."
As for weapons, it is a little simpler, they all have fixed models, and serial production is not difficult at all. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
The difficulty is to produce well-produced divine weapons, but those will not be equipped on small soldiers.
"The speed of armor manufacturing still needs to be increased." Liu Yu instructed Ou Xing: "Train more skilled craftsmen. "
"Whoever is able to improve the armor of weapons and improve the quality of armor will be rewarded. Those who have great merit will be knighted directly. "
In order to be able to make better weapons, Liu Yu did not care about being given a knighthood.
"Minister, thank the king."
When Ou Xing heard this, he kowtowed a little excitedly.
The king said so, naturally he also attached importance to the craftsmen below, although he is now a waiter of the Ministry of Work, but at the same time he is also a member of the craftsmen.
......
After coming out of the palace, Ou Xing went straight to the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Engineering.
"The king has an order, if anyone can improve the armor of weapons, the king will be rewarded, and the best of them can be directly knighted."
After coming to the Ordnance Bureau, Ou Xing directly gathered thousands of craftsmen from the entire Ordnance Bureau and said loudly.
"Lord Lang, do you mean what you said?"
When the craftsmen below heard this, they were immediately excited.
Knighted, that's knighthood.
Since ancient times, craftsmen have not been treated too highly.
Especially after Emperor Wudi of Han deposed the Hundred Schools of Confucianism, the craftsmen were even reduced to strange and lustful skills, and their status plummeted.
The knighthood of craftsmen is enough for them to fight their all.
"The order of the great king, how can there be a fake?" Ou Xing snorted and said loudly.
"Lord Qiyu, the villain has an instrument that wants to contribute to the king."
At this moment, suddenly a voice came from the crowd.
"Lord Qiyu, the villain also has a forging technique, and I would like to present it to the great king."
Ou Xing looked at these two people and recognized each other at a glance.
Among these more than a thousand craftsmen, the two of them can be said to be the best two.
They are called Ma Jun and Pu Yuan.
At the beginning, Liu Yu reformed the rule of officials and established six departments, especially after the establishment of the Ministry of Engineering, to recruit craftsmen from all over the world.
Countless skilled craftsmen, after seeing the opportunity, some even came here from thousands of miles away.
The number of craftsmen in the Ministry of Works has exceeded 10,000, and these thousand people in front of them are the top and excellent craftsmen among them.
