Chapter 412
I saw this Jinyiwei came to Bailixiu and bowed with fists in front of him:

"Mr. Baili, His Royal Highness welcomes you!"

Of course, Bai Lixiu didn't have any ink marks either, and immediately stepped on the horse that came from Jin Yiwei, followed Jin Yiwei and went straight to the palace.

This scene naturally stunned Matchmaker Cai and Zeng Jing and the vendors who set up stalls nearby. When did this carpenter who sells chairs get involved with the prince of Daming.

As for why the prince asked Jin Yiwei to come to Bai Lixiu, it was naturally because of what happened the day before yesterday.

After Bailixiu left behind the mirror and the four-wheeled carriage and left, Zhu Yuanzhang studied it himself, and then sent the carriage to the Bingzhan Bureau, so that the craftsmen who made weapons inside could imitate it.

However, to Zhu Yuanzhang's disappointment, the blacksmiths in the military battle bureau had been busy all day, but they couldn't make the roller bearings used by Bailixiu on the four-wheeled carriage in one night.

The Bingzhan Bureau does not belong to the Ministry of Industry, but belongs to one of the Eight Bureaus of the Ming Dynasty.

The eight bureaus of the Ming Dynasty were collectively referred to as the Ming eunuch management office.That is, the Bureau of Soldiers and Battles, the Bureau of Silver Work, the Bureau of Huanyi, the Bureau of Scarves and Hats, the Bureau of Needlework, the Bureau of Internal Weaving and Dyeing, the Bureau of Wine and Vinegar Noodles, and the Bureau of Siyuan.Each has a palm print eunuch, bookkeeper, supervisor, etc.

The Military Battle Bureau was established during the Hongwu period, and was in charge of making all kinds of armor and weapons and some firearms required by the emperor's guards and brocade guards.

In Volume [-] of the "Da Ming Hui Dian", it is said: "Today's military battle bureau "is built and repaired, facing upwards to surround the subordinates, the generals of the Jinyi Weiguan Banner, and the Duzhijian with swords and long followers, and armor and military weapons."These military armors are made every three years and are made by the Ministry of Works.Bows and crossbows are "made from time to time".In the early Ming Dynasty, the production of firearms was mainly carried out by the Military Bureau of the Neifu, and after the orthodoxy, it was gradually divided into the Military Weapons Bureau.

There are more than 40 kinds of armors and more than 700 kinds of firearms manufactured by Bingzhan Bureau.Its firearms are mainly supplied to border gates.The military battle bureau had one eunuch who was in charge of printing and one eunuch who supervised the arsenal. The number of craftsmen in the bureau was basically around 3000, and at most it reached more than [-].The Gunpowder Bureau is attached to the Bingzhan Bureau, which is actually the arsenal of the Bingzhan Bureau.The Neifu Bingzhan Bureau was a very important military handicraft industry in the Ming Dynasty. It supported the military industry in the Ming Dynasty together with the Military Weapons Bureau and the military production of various local guards, and played a leading role in it. The weapons made by the Bingzhan Bureau Sometimes it becomes the standard for each guard to make weapons.

The Bank Bureau was established in the 30th year of Hongwu. At the beginning, there were one ambassador and deputy envoy, and later one eunuch with palm seal.The Bureau of Silver Works "makes gold and silver ornaments", such as gold and silver coins, gold and silver bean leaves, gold and silver ingots, etc., which are made by the Bureau of Silver Works. For rewards.In addition, the Silver Work Bureau also undertakes some other tasks, such as gold plating for the products of the gold medal factory that casts the prince's seal and gold medal.The number of craftsmen in the silver work bureau is generally between 300 and [-], and the scale is relatively small.

In the scarf and hat bureau, there is a eunuch with palm prints, and there are about 500 craftsmen. "Managing the making of gauze hats, boots and socks for the people in the inner palace, and preparing the rewards of scarves and hats."Responsible for the flat scarves and official hats used by internal officials and envoys, as well as the flag officer's hats and boots used by son-in-law and vassal kings.The objects of the rewards include the newly selected son-in-law, the newly promoted eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and the flag captain of the kingdom of the vassal king.The wages for the things made by the Scarf and Hat Bureau are collected from the Ministry of Industry.

The Internal Weaving and Dyeing Bureau was established in the early Ming Dynasty. In the second year of Hongwu, there was a Shangding Bureau.The responsibility of the Internal Weaving and Dyeing Bureau is to "hand dye and manufacture satin for the imperial use and for use in the palace". Into send".After that, a system was formed, that is, "the internal weaving and dyeing bureau should supply the supply".When the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau weaves the robes worn by the emperor on important occasions, the Qintian Supervisor must choose a date and the Ministry of Rites will offer sacrifices before starting work.This is the case for the Twelve Chapters and Pibian clothes used in the winter solstice sacrifice.Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau set up a palm print eunuch, and the number of craftsmen was 17 in the 28th year of Jiajing, which shows that its production scale is very large.The Outer Department of the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau has an indigo factory in the west of the capital, and there is also an outer factory outside Chaoyangmen, which is "the place where robes are washed and washed".

The duty of the Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau is to "control the consumption of wine vinegar, sugar sauce, noodles and beans in the palace". The so-called palace refers to the people who serve the royal family in the palace.Among its responsibilities, items such as wine and vinegar are self-made by the bureau.The Wine Vinegar Noodle Bureau has a handprint eunuch, and the number of craftsmen is about 170.

The Huanyi Bureau is a member of the palm print eunuch, and there are no quotas for Qian Shu and supervisors.Huanyi Bureau is located in the area of ​​Xiangjiafang in the west of Deshengmen, and it is the only inner government institution that is not in the imperial city.The Huanyi Bureau is an agency for cleaning clothes for the inner government, and it is also a place to accommodate elderly and guilty court ladies to prevent leakage of important matters. The original text of "Da Ming Hui Dian": "Every official who is old and dismissed is sent to live in this bureau. But this bureau is not in the imperial city.

The Siyuan Bureau is in charge of the vegetables and fruits grown in the palace garden. After all, for the safety of the emperor, not everything is bought, especially vegetables that don't have a long shelf life.

Of course, the Needlework Bureau is for making clothes. After all, there are no sewing machines at this time, and all clothes need to be sewn by hand.

The Acupuncture Bureau is headed by a eunuch with palm prints, and has management, qianshu, director, supervisor and other staff under it.In charge of making palace clothes.

In terms of the number of people alone, Bingzhanju's position in the Eighth Bureau is not small, after all, it is responsible for the creation of the weapons and armor of Jin Yiwei, the emperor's pro-army!

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the structure of the four-wheeled carriage was so simple, and he could basically understand it at a glance, but after sending it to the Bingzhan Bureau, he found that it was not that simple.

Everything else is fine. Things like wheels and carriages are very simple, but when it comes to the roller bearings on the four-wheeled carriage, the craftsmen have encountered difficulties.

Because the rollers and rings they made are not as smooth as the roller bearings made by Bailixiu.

The craftsmen of these military bureaus have also tried it. The rollers of Bailixiu can easily make the wheels rotate for a quarter of an hour, but the roller bearings they hammered by hand, let alone half a quarter of an hour, just take one or two breaths. Stopped.

Zhu Yuanzhang also understood the importance of the roller bearings used in Bailixiu's four-wheeled carriage. When he tried to push Bailixiu's four-wheeled carriage, he found that it was easy to push, and there was no sound of creaking at all. No, but ordinary two-wheeled carriages are hard to push.

After seeing the prince Zhu Biao again, before Bailixiu saluted, the prince Zhu Biao first saluted Bailixiu with fists:
"Mr. is really a great talent. He can actually make such an advanced thing as a carriage. I wonder if you can teach me how to make a carriage! And how to make a glazed mirror!"

However, Bai Lixiu did not immediately answer Zhu Biao's words, but instead asked Zhu Biao:
"Whether to tell or not depends on the ambitions of the prince and the emperor. I don't know how the prince discussed with the emperor. Does he have the ambition to swallow Yuan?"
