Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

As soon as Yuchi Baoqi arrived at the Ministry of Industry, he saw Duan Lun coming down to the court to do some cooking. Duan Lun saw Yuchi Baoqi holding a large roll of drawings and pulled him into the Ministry of Industry without saying a word.

"Why are you here, but His Majesty has another job?" He said and reached out to pull out the drawings.

Yuchi Baoqi smiled bitterly: "If you knew what kind of job I took, you could kick me out right now. To put it bluntly, even if you don't die this time, you will lose your skin."

Duan Lun hurriedly summoned a dozen skilled craftsmen to the meeting hall.

Yuchi Baoqi saw that everyone was here and said: "The first thing is that we have to take over the production of weapons and armor. The second thing is that we have to develop new types of military rations. The third thing is that because of the first two things The matter is very urgent, so we have to develop new machines to speed up the process. Now, the experts in ironmaking and mold making in the ironworks stand on the left, and the experts in making carriages and fine ironware stand on the right."

Following Yuchi Baoqi's order, the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry were divided into two groups.

"Duan Shangshu, you lead them to make casting molds, and also pour some steel plates. The thinner the better. The others are here with me to understand the drawings first, and then go get the iron materials and start working!"

Duan Lun quickly led his men and materials to the ironworks.

The remaining craftsmen stared at the drawings and listened to Yuchi Baoqi's explanation.

These craftsmen were confused at the beginning, but suddenly understood something later. Some craftsmen even made some parts while listening.

"Master craftsman, what is this magnet?" A craftsman asked puzzledly.

Yuchi Baoqi said: "Magnets can attract iron. The most important thing is that when an object cuts the magnetic field lines in the magnetic field, it can generate electricity and drive the crankshaft to do work. Forget it, you don't understand. I will use this magnet by then. Bring it."

Then Yuchi Baoqi found copper ingots, melted them and removed impurities and began to make copper wires using the hot extrusion method. However, Yuchi Baoqi was silent when he saw that the copper wires were not much thinner than his little finger.

After wrapping the copper wire around the cast iron, Yuchi Baoqi said that he was hungry and wanted to go out to eat.

After leaving the Ministry of Industry, he found an inn and slapped a handful of copper coins on the counter. "Shopkeeper, get a room. I didn't sleep well yesterday, so don't let anyone bother me." Yuchi Baoqi said.

Yuchi Baoqi gave the waiter two more copper coins: "Don't let anyone disturb me. I want to have a good sleep. Do you understand?"

After the waiter took the money, he naturally responded quickly.

Yuchi Baoqi knelt on the couch, holding the cast iron block tightly wrapped with copper wire with both hands, hesitating. "There is no thunder in the winter, and I don't have time to wait for lightning to strike. The magnetization depends on your system!"

After doing a good job of psychological construction, Yuchi Baoqi directly cursed: "You shabby subsystem, if you dare, electrocute me to death. If you electrocute me, try it. It depends on whether your brother Bao does it or not, and you're done!"

As expected, a powerful current hit Yuchi Baoqi directly.

Yuchi Baoqi didn't let go of the cast iron block in his hand until he was convulsed by the electric shock.

"If you have the guts,..." Another burst of electricity came, and Yuchi Baoqi fainted.

In the evening, the waiter came and asked if he wanted to bring some food. Yuchi Baoqi woke up leisurely, ordered some food and sent the waiter away.

Feeling that he was still alive, Yuchi Baoqi quickly opened the bag and pulled out a piece of iron. With trembling hands, he brought the iron piece close to the cast iron block.

"Clap!"

The iron piece was firmly sucked to the cast iron block! No, it can no longer be called a cast iron block, its current name is: magnet!

Yuchi Baoqi jumped three feet high in excitement, it’s done! Done! The waiter looked at the crazy-looking Yuchi Baoqi, quickly put down the food and closed the door.

Yuchi Baoqi didn't let go of the magnet while eating. After finishing the meal in a hurry, he left the room and rushed to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

When everyone saw Yuchi Baoqi coming back, they quickly pulled him to the table.

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the workpieces on the table and measured them one by one. Keep the usable ones and put the unqualified ones in the scrap area.

The workpieces placed in the scrap area were immediately taken away by the building officials for inspection, correction, and remanufacturing.

Everyone watched with bated breath. As Yuchi Baoqi measured, half of the workpieces failed to meet the design standards.

Duan Lun has come back a long time ago, and the steel knife made directly by pouring has entered the polishing stage.

Duan Lun was very angry when he saw this scene: "Half of them are unqualified?! How do you want me to explain to His Majesty!"

Yuchi Baoqi spoke: "I know no one takes the Ministry of Works seriously, as if our Ministry of Works is dispensable. We only build houses and palaces. But! But when I first came to the Ministry of Works, he! Studying trebuchets. And him! Studying crossbows. I believe that each of you loves the profession of craftsman! These things we make now will infinitely change the Tang Dynasty. Some of you don’t want to create with me History?!”

After listening to Yuchi Baoqi's words, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, who were just a pool of stagnant water, all raised their heads and stared at him with burning eyes.

Yuchi Baoqi struck while the iron was hot: "Let our soldiers wear armors improved by the Ministry of Industry! Let our soldiers hold weapons improved by the Ministry of Industry! Let the people of the Tang Dynasty be fed and clothed! Let this man-eating world be far away from our Tang Dynasty People, stay away! Ministry of Industry!”

"Yes!" everyone replied loudly.

Yuchi Baoqi clenched his right fist and put it on his chest: "From today on, the Ministry of Industry has entered a wartime state. Double shifts, each person works for six hours. Food is increased to three meals, and the kitchen is not closed. You can go to eat at any time. All craftsmen Let’s all go rest now and come back to work in six hours. Food and accommodation are all at the Ministry of Works. Shangshu Duan and I will work together with you to overcome the difficulties!”

Su Quan brought back 15 shi of grain from Jiangnan. As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he went to his house to find Yuchi Baoqi. The people in the house told him that Yuchi Baoqi was at the Ministry of Industry and had not come back for five days, and there was no news.

Su Quan rushed to the Ministry of Industry Yamen. When he arrived, he found many carriages gathered at the door of the Ministry of Industry Yamen. As soon as he approached, someone stared at him fiercely.

He bravely went over and knocked on the door of the Ministry of Works office. Just as he was about to knock, the door was knocked open.

People poured out like a mountain and a tsunami, and Yuchi Baoqi was the leader. At this moment, Yuchi Baoqi was naked from the waist up, holding the clothes in his hand and shaking them up.

He was still shouting crazily: "It's done! It's done! I'm such a genius! Woohoo, woohoo."

The craftsmen at the back even lifted it up, threw it high into the sky and caught it again.

Su Quan stared at the group of craftsmen dumbfounded, when suddenly a skinny, shirtless old man rushed out of the door and joined the carnival.

Su Quan knew this man, Duan Lun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, but he was actually acting like this? Are there any normal people in this Ministry of Works?
