Chapter 169: printing

"The General Staff?" Shang Wen asked with some confusion.

"That's right, Mr. Qin said about the staff." Wei Liao said in confirmation.

"Oh, yes, yes." Shang Wen undoubtedly said the modern command system. The establishment of the General Staff Headquarters was entirely set up to meet the needs of war. With the establishment of the General Staff. The selection of Qin's strategic objectives is more scientific. More reasonable. If King Qin convened ministers for consultations was an act of counseling, it was also an act of semi-political and semi-military consultations. It is more from a political point of view to consider the specific operations of the military. The specific point is only very small.

However, the establishment of the General Staff Department can refine this specific military practice.

"En. The sources of the officers of the staff are all mid- and high-level commanders who have experienced war and have rich command experience. These staff officers are responsible for formulating marching routes and further combat plans. This way, the war behavior will be more detailed and accurate." Shang Wen I can only briefly explain how the higher-level staff works. Because according to the current situation, there are not many benefits to the independent staff. First of all, experienced mid- to senior officers are a big problem. Moreover, the current main body is still soldiers with cold weapons. Instead of an army with muskets and artillery. Moreover, the level of military officers' understanding of war is still only a vague understanding, and a system has not yet been fully formed.

"Well, in this way, my pressure is much less." Wei Liao said happily.

"There are also those experienced middle and high-ranking officers. The current sources are still too few. This requires a lot of training and continuous growth in the war to be trained." Shang Wen said.

"That's true. These talents are the most lacking at present. And everything is blank." Wei Liao said.

"There is also the division of the staff. Now we must determine the strategic goals. Mark those goals according to their priorities. And we must start collecting intelligence." Shang Wen suggested.

"Mr. Qin is right. The current situation is indeed the case. For example, the situation of Yanzhao is more difficult. Thanks to the effective support of our Daqin firearms, the country of Yan defeated Zhao Jun. Moreover, from the latest intelligence. Seen from the source. The Yan army is most likely to capture the giant deer in the Zhao country. I am afraid that Handan will be a little difficult. After all, the capital of the Zhao country, the Qin country has also fought." Wei Liao said specifically.

"En. This is why Zhao Guo is so anxious to buy my Daqin firearms." Shang Wen said.

"I don't know, what happened to the information Wang Ben collected?" Shang Wen muttered to himself.

"By the way, sir, I still have one more thing to ask for, that is, the establishment of the heavenly army requires a general to assist me in handling. Now I have a lot of things. If I am alone in charge, I am afraid I can't do what I want." Shang Wen said.

"En, this is natural. It's just this general, you see?" Wei Liao asked.

"This, I think it's Li Xin." Shang Wen still has some impressions of Li Xin. After all, I have a relationship with myself and met under Yunzhong City.

"Okay, I'll go through the transfer order now." Wei Liao said excitedly.

"In this way, it's not too early. I have to go to the paper mill, where I have to solve an important problem." Shang Wen said.

"Then I will send it to Master Qin." Wei Liao said politely.

"No, no. You are busy with you, I have more things. Don't be so troublesome." Shang Wen said with a fist.

"I'm leaving now." Shang Wen said with a fist.

"No." Wei Liao said.

Shang Wen clasped his fists again. Turn around and leave.

Shang Wen took out his notebook and wanted to take a detailed look at what he was going to do next. That is to check the situation of the paper mill. Especially the paper mill needs to be upgraded. It's printing.

The emergence of printed matter can further popularize cultural needs.

Shang Wen looked at the notebook. Start to mark some precautions.

"Go, go to the printing factory." Shang Wen quickly boarded the car.

The coachman was a little embarrassed. Because he hasn't heard of any printing house yet, he doesn't know where this place is?

As soon as Shangwen got in the car, he began to write and draw. Shangwen believes that to improve the printing plant, we must go to a new starting point from the very beginning. That is movable type printing, movable type is not made of Song Dynasty clay, because the repeated use of this material is very problematic. Instead, they choose to use bronze or iron from the beginning. Because these materials are very wear-resistant. And it can be reused. The printing method is still straight plate printing. Instead of printing newspapers like modern newspapers, the rotary press can not be used. Even so, there are still several generations of printing presses in between. For example, flatbed embossing machine, hand-punching paper type casting flat typography of letterpress copy technology. and many more. It is impossible for these to transition there all at once, and they can only barely meet the current needs. And most importantly, the biggest power problem is still unresolved. I don't know what happened to the steam engine. Shang Wen felt that he should interfere. Improve the progress of the development. All the current progress has basically stopped at this one.

The steam engine has basically become a bottleneck in the development of all industries. If this bottleneck is not solved, it will be difficult to have further development. From printing to transportation. To a large number of industrial products processing. For example, the blending technology that has just started can only rely on a lot of manpower to do it. Every family in Qin is also responsible for making armor. Can the finished product be obtained in a short time. Will be related to the warmth and coldness of soldiers in the north. With this in mind, Shang Wen believes that at present, another measure to improve the effect of warmth should be taken.

And how to do this warm-keeping measure in detail. Shang Wen did not fail to come up with a good idea.

Shangwen suddenly felt that the car hadn't moved.

"What's the matter? Why doesn't the car move." Shang Wen asked.

"My lord, the little one really doesn't know how to get to this printing house." The coachman said embarrassedly.

"Oh, my goodness." Shang Wen said, patting his forehead with his hand.

"I'm so busy. Go to the paper mill and hurry up." Shang Wen realized that he was really busy.

"My lord, look, it's getting late, and all the craftsmen will be off work when they go." The coachman suggested.

"Oh, that's it." Shang Wen looked at the black hole in the sky outside the car.

"Forget it. Go back and talk about it. I'll talk about something tomorrow." Shang Wen said.

"Here." answered the coachman.

Shang Wen helplessly lowered the curtain. I picked up the notebook in my hand, followed by a faint light, and sketched some printing utensils, especially the material description, Shangwen more detailed labeling of the use of metal. This is because wood and the like are used. It won't take long, if you go rigid, laborious, and laborious.
