golden scales

Zhu Cihong didn't know that he had such a great reputation among the people that he could hang it on the door to ward off evil spirits, hang it on the head of the bed...well, contraception is not needed in this era.

When he saw Liu Wei, he had very rare wavering thoughts.

Liu Wei is Liu Ruoyu's nephew, he was indeed born tall and big, which very eye-catchingly shows the blood inheritance of the Liu family's military family.The character is indeed internal, if it is analyzed based on the sixteen personality of Carter, he is very prominent in emotional stability and persistence.

If such a person is in an industrial enterprise, it is very suitable to be responsible for safety issues, but if he wants to take charge of a national strategic factory, he may have a great lack of ability.

This man doesn't even know the words.

Zhu Cihong had a few conversations with Liu Wei, and admitted that Liu Ruoyu was right, but he also had new concerns.

"We can send some inner eunuchs to serve as his deputies." Liu Ruoyu suggested that he felt a little bit upset about his nephew's illiteracy.

"Yes." Zhu Cihong nodded: "I don't need to be a deputy, so I will send two of them under the title of 'secretary'. You go to transfer him, and the safety regulations of the gunpowder factory must be implemented first. Then transfer to the East Palace of a bureau. The guards are going to protect the gunpowder factory. By the way, the boss who killed Chen Jiabao is still waiting for the crime?"

"Return to Your Highness, that's right." Liu Ruoyu replied.

"Then transfer him over there." Zhu Cihong said.

"Your Highness," Liu Ruoyu lowered his voice, "That Bai Boss is also a decisive person, and he was only sent to protect the Anmin Factory, so would he be overqualified?"

"Do you think this is dismissal?" Zhu Cihong shook his head: "I still need to read more books by Qi Wuyi."

Liu Ruoyu knew that the prince had other intentions, and he really didn't know about military affairs. As for employing people, the prince had never made any obvious mistakes, let's just wait and see.

What Zhu Cihong was referring to was the firearms establishment in the Qi family's army.

Although the Qi family army was a powerful army brought out by Qi Jiguang, the southeast Japanese suppression and Jizhen imperial bandits were completely two forms of warfare, and the Qi family army was also clearly divided into two stages.

In the southeast era, because of Qi Jiguang's limited status and the fact that Japanese pirates mainly harassed small groups, the Qi family army had a relatively small establishment.When they arrived in Jizhen, the Mongolian iron cavalry were like a pack of wolves, plundering the border in groups, and Qi Jiguang was already a pillar of the Ming Dynasty at that time, so the Qi family army had a relatively large establishment.

It can be said that the Qi family army did not really take shape until the north.It can be seen from Qi's military book that Qi Jiguang attaches great importance to firearms. The firearm allocation rate of infantry camps is as high as [-]%, and that of supply camps is as high as [-]%.Hitting opponents with high-intensity heavy firepower and defending cities can be said to be the Qi's army's army building idea.

However, the firearms of the Ming army became worse day by day.As a result, the Qi family army, which later transformed into Guanning cavalry, gradually abandoned the tradition of firearms.The reasons for this regression run through every link from gunpowder manufacturing, firearms production, soldier training, and frontline psychology.

In order to fill their pockets, the Gunpowder Bureau first secretly changed the gunpowder formula, shoddy it, so that the gunpowder was not powerful enough.

The second is the production of firearms. There is a lack of quality management mechanism, and bombings often occur, which makes soldiers fear firearms more than enemies.

Then there is the training of soldiers.

Qi's army's training has become institutionalized, and the soldiers have a high level of understanding of their weapons.Later, the Ming army regarded the practice as a cutscene. From three days to one five days, it was once every ten days, and then it was practiced only after the Shangguan inspected, and finally it became that the Shangguan did not practice even if he came to review. the point.

Such a soldier is enough to hold a spear and a waist knife, let alone a firearm with higher technical requirements?

The psychological quality of the battle is also very important.When the Ming Dynasty fought against foreigners since Sarhu, nine times out of ten they lost, so that when the soldiers saw the enemy approaching, they opened fire from a distance, and when the fire was over, they scattered.A weapon that was clearly ahead of the northern barbarians by a generation, in the hands of these Ming soldiers, it was not as good as a fire stick.

If Zhu Cihong wants to strengthen the army, he must vigorously develop firearms, not to mention returning to the era of Qi Jiguang, at least he must return to the time of the Battle of Saerhu.At that time, the Ming army mainly had generals like pigs, and their combat capabilities were not inferior to those of Jiannu.

Now the masters of firearms manufacturing are all in the south of the Yangtze River, and gunpowder manufacturing is at hand.In line with the principle of putting the easy first before the difficult, and the near before the far, Zhu Cihong naturally started with gunpowder, perfected the gunpowder production process and storage regulations, trained a group of skilled handicraft workers, and clarified the process to build an assembly line.

This work requires a lot of energy from the leader in any era, and only in the game is it possible to send a master of internal affairs 95 to harvest tons of gunpowder every day.

Fortunately, Zhu Cihong already had a draft, and the mother copy of the rules and regulations written when he was dormant in the palace only needs to be redesigned and slightly revised in detail before it can be used.

Although Liu Wei is a manager in name, he is actually just an executor.To be more precise, he is an executor who checks whether the prince's rules and regulations are implemented.On the first day he came to Anmin factory with the internal officer entrusted to him by his uncle, he found that the job given by his uncle was not so easy and pleasant.

"Master Liu, from ancient times to the present, gunpowder has always been made in this way. If the formula is changed, it may not make a sound."

"Master Liu, we have always used shovels to dig gunpowder, not to mention wooden shovels can't shovel it in."

"Master Liu..."

……

Liu Wei was a little confused for a while, what should I do if these things are different from the prince's requirements?The craftsmen below refused to change, so what should I do?Go back and ask your uncle for advice?Or did you just resign from the job?

"No!" The lady of the Liu family became anxious when she heard that Liu Wei was going to retreat.She is a woman from a Taoist family, although she has never seen anything in the world, she has a quicker mind than Liu Wei.She said: "Uncle promoted you to manage the Anmin factory. Although you have no rank, you are dressed like a clerk. How can you go back to be a commoner? If you don't understand, why don't you go to my second aunt's house?" My younger brother, he has been an apprentice in a firecracker shop since he was a child, so he understands a little bit."

"What does a milk doll know?" Liu Wei bit his cigarette and took a strong puff.

The first thing the prince banned in the Anmin factory was open flames. People put up signs everywhere, and they didn't write. They just drew a red circle on a raging fire with a slanted line in the middle. Even people who came in for the first time would know That means no fire is allowed.Since the fire is banned, even cigarettes are not allowed, so when Liu Wei gets addicted to cigarettes, he can only go outside to smoke one secretly.

"It's a milk baby, and it's in its twenties." The woman said: "If you can't be a chef, can't you even taste salty food? Besides, you are rich now, and you should take care of my family, okay?" Is it the reason why I have a bright face when I go back to the door?"

Liu Wei thought about it, his wife was always right.Now that this bastard doesn't scold or make trouble, it makes a lot more sense.But he didn't know if he had the right to hire someone, so he could only hesitate and say, "Talk to him first, and see if he comes."

The mother-in-law was secretly happy when she heard this, and went to the second aunt's house after hastily eating dinner.Because her family is poor, she has forgotten when she visited the door last time, but she vaguely remembers that she was there to borrow rice, and the rice has not been returned yet.

The woman took out a wooden box from the square pit under the bed, opened it under the bed, and took out a piece of silver.She held it in her hand, weighed it, put it back again, and changed into a smaller one. Then she got out contentedly, changed into crisp, unpatched clothes, and went to her relatives' house.

Her second aunt married a family surnamed Wu. She used to help deliver goods for a firecracker shop in the capital, and got to know several shopkeepers before she sent her son as an apprentice.Sitting down as an apprentice for ten years, the Wu family boy finally became a foreman, and what he did was to check the soil and nitrate.

It's just that with his qualifications, he still has a long way to go to get in touch with the gunpowder formula.
