Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 198 The Royal Ordnance Institute of the Ming Dynasty

"Well, the difficulty lies in the making of the paper shell, but I think it's not a big problem, let's study it for two days!" Song Yingxing said after reading the blueprint twice.

There is also a very big advantage of custom-loading paper shell bullets. While speeding up the speed of reloading, the accuracy will also be greatly increased.

Because of the original method of loading gunpowder, it is difficult to keep the amount of gunpowder loaded, resulting in the projectile hitting far and near.

And the paper shell can keep the amount of gunpowder constant. If this thing can really be produced as soon as possible, it might be able to withstand the iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty!Liu Hongjian thought to himself.

"So please, Mr. Song, now that there are wars between the north and the south of our Ming Dynasty, the Ordnance Institute should focus on producing these firearms first!"

With the extreme humility of the ancients, there is no big problem or no problem at all, Liu Hongjian understood on his own.

"In addition, all new shareholders of our Ordnance have joined, and the signboard of the Ordnance Institute should be changed!" Liu Hongjian said mysteriously.

"Oh? May I ask who is the new addition?" Song Yingxing was a little nervous. After all, all the current rules and regulations of the Ordnance Institute come from Lord Hou, and Lord Hou is a good man.

But what if there is a new adult?Would this man interfere with the affairs of the Armoury?Will they treat craftsmen as human beings like the officials of the Ministry of Industry?
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Song, the new joiner is none other than the current Holy One!
So, in the future, our ordnance will not be short of money. I will buy the best materials and various supplies for this officer!

Remember, don’t seek the best, but seek the most expensive, hahaha!
Oh, and also, the food for craftsmen and folks should also be improved!In this cold day, they worked the hardest! "

It took more than a month to build such a large building in ninety-nine cold days. This group of folks really contributed a lot. I heard that many folks got frostbite on their hands and feet even if they were wearing cotton clothes.

Alas, it is the simplicity and hard work of the ancients, who are driving piles in the frozen soil, non-stop from morning to night.

But Song Yingxing didn't have the heart to think about this at this time, his thoughts had already drifted to the sky.

In his life, he had failed several times in the provincial examinations, and had to endure as a juren for more than ten years before becoming a small county magistrate.

In his heart, the emperor is an unattainable existence.

What about now?The ordnance factory, which he planned to be a lifelong career, unexpectedly had the emperor's participation.

He felt a little dazed, and instantly felt a sense of sacred mission in his heart.

These are all members of Lord Hou. As long as Lord Hou is around, maybe... Daming will really look brand new!

"So, what name is Hou Ye going to change to?" Song Yingxing said in a daze.

"Let's call it the Daming Royal Ordnance Institute! What does Mr. Song think?" Liu Hongjian had already made up his mind.

"Very good, very good, according to Lord Hou, I will let someone write it later!" It's just a name, Song Yingxing is a person who does practical things, so naturally he doesn't care about it.

"Well, the emperor likes the briquette stoves made by the craftsmen, and specially rewarded each of these craftsmen with a set of cotton clothes, which will be delivered in two days.

At that time, Mr. Song can reward them on his behalf, um... let's give out double monthly silver this month, that's it!

In addition, send a few craftsmen who are familiar with making briquettes machines and stoves to Shanxi, and ask them to find Gu Datong and recruit some craftsmen to teach them how to make briquettes machines! "Liu Hongjian ordered.

Shanxi is full of coal mines, and Gu Datong was struggling with sales before. If he got these magic weapons, anthracite should be popular in the world.

As for how to sell, what does Gu Datong do?Of course there is no need for him to say more!

"It's my lord. I'll deal with it later. At present, there are more than 100 briquettes machines and more than 300 briquettes furnaces in the Ordnance Institute. The daily output is not bad. How do you plan to dispose of these?"

"Well, well, pick two well-spoken ones, and buy a shop in the capital to sell them, remember to only sell briquettes and stoves.

The stove is priced at ten taels, and as for the briquettes, it costs ten taels a penny. "

The production of the briquette machine is relatively complicated. If there is no blueprint, I believe that even if someone wants to imitate it, it will probably take a long time.

In addition, only he has anthracite at present. If I don’t give you coal, let you eat instant noodles without seasoning packets, will you die?
The reason why the price of the stove is so high is that the target groups of the briquette stove and briquette are rich households. As for ordinary people, you just set the price of the stove to one or two.

Probably no one can afford it, but coal briquettes cost one tael and one hundred silver, which is more reasonable. If a hundred briquettes are only used for heating, it is enough for a stove for about a month.

For a big family, one tael a month is not enough to buy charcoal.

"In addition, recruit some more craftsmen, mainly casters and blacksmiths, with a quota of [-]. As for what you need, Mr. Song, you can decide for yourself." Liu Hongjian said after thinking for a while.

"Also, when the frost melts in a while, I plan to build a treasure shipyard in Tianjin Wei. This will also require Mr. Song to take care of it and recruit more knowledgeable shipwrights!
Moon silver is not a problem, the more people there are, the better! "

In fact, if the war between the North and the South is excluded, the matter of the Treasure Shipyard is the most important thing. Such a big country, with such a long coastal defense line, does not even have a decent navy.

"It's my lord, is there anything else?" Song Yingxing was holding the blueprint of a custom-packed cardboard bullet in his hand, which made him feel a little itchy.

"No, Mr. Song was busy, so I'm leaving now!" Liu Hongjian stood up and planned to leave.

Such a large ordnance factory, as well as the greenhouses outside, the spinning mill, and the glass factory under construction all needed Song Yingxing to check it out. It was really difficult for the old man. Liu Hongjian suddenly felt that he was a little out of place.

When Liu Hongjian stepped into the house again, it was already dark.

Alas, this busy day, when will it be a head!
Liu Hongjian went directly to the house of his eldest wife Sun Xiuxiu tonight, but he was too tired these two days, and now he just wanted to have a good rest.

Sun Xiuxiu was seven months pregnant, but she was considerate of her husband's hard work, and she still wanted to beat Liu Hongjian's legs with her belly outstretched, but the latter hugged her into her arms.

"Husband, do you think this scar will disappear in the future?" Sun Xiuxiu lay in Liu Hongjian's arms affectionately, but Liu Hongjian's hand was dishonest and accidentally touched the scar on her right shoulder.

"This is the most beautiful scar in the world, and it is the mark of the two of us staying together!
Why let it go away! "Liu Hongjian gently stroked and comforted his beloved.

"My husband is talking nonsense again, but Xiuxiu likes it very much.

Husband, what name do you think our baby should name? "Women in this era can't bear Liu Hongjian's love words, they are so moved by a few words.

"How about calling Er Gouzi?" Liu Hongjian joked.

"No, it sounds awful!"

"That's a dog egg?"

"It's even worse!"

……

The night is full, and the cold wind is howling outside the window, blowing away the joys and sorrows of the world.

However, in the far southwest, there is an old man suffering in the cold night!
