Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 58 The Realm of Thick Skin
Chongzhen couldn't understand why Liu Hongjian was so interested in three little-known figures, but as the emperor, recruiting three or two people was not easy?
Immediately Chongzhen wrote an imperial decree, and after using the seal, Wang Chengen sent it to the Secretary of the Tongzheng Envoy for notification.

After finishing his business, Liu Hongjian saluted and wanted to turn around and dodge, but he was stopped by Chongzhen as soon as he took two steps.

The previous cabinet was almost taken over by Liu Hongjian. Up to now, the imperial cabinet is still half-disabled. In recent days, many courtiers suggested to reorganize the cabinet. Chongzhen wanted to ask Liu Hongjian for his opinion.

Uh, Liu Hongjian scratched his head and was a little embarrassed. If you want to say that you have stolen the house, we are good at it. Let me recommend cabinet members. Those old men are all similar in appearance. I don't know who is suitable!
But since Chongzhen asked, Liu Hongjian was still ready to express his opinion.

First of all, we need to find people who can do practical things, like Wei Zaode, who can tell what is said and what is said, what is the use of a person who takes it by word?When Man Qing called, didn't he pouted his ass and didn't know what to say?Can you still spray people to death with saliva or something?
Don't tell me that the university is middle-of-the-road and has both ability and political integrity. I only look at who can do things. Soldiers, look at your ability to train, lead troops, and command battles. Workers, look at your achievements in military repairs, Yuheng, and Dushui... …

Like the current ministers, they have done a good job!
In short, it is world-class!Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

He didn't say much, Liu Hongjian just expressed his thoughts, seeing Chongzhen frowned, as if he was thinking about what Liu Hongjian said, Liu Hongjian turned around without disturbing and planned to leave.

"Why are you panicking, you are now a cabinet scholar, but you are never seen at court meetings! There are so many criticisms from the courtiers, I order you to come to the court at least once every three days!"

Liu Hongjian stood on tiptoe and turned back with a bitter face.

"Is it okay once every seven days?" Meeting with a bunch of old men is still endless. Just thinking about Liu Hongjian makes me feel bored.

"Do you still dare to bargain with me? No way!" Chongzhen had a straight face, and every time he discussed the problem with Liu Hongjian, although he couldn't understand the root of the problem for a while, he always got some inspiration afterwards.

So much so that Chongzhen wished that Liu Hongjian would stay by his side every day and be a full-time consultant.

But he also knew that Liu Hongjian had a temperament of holding back and rushing back, and he was lazy, alas, it was really a headache.

"Then five days? Your Majesty, you also know that I have been training soldiers recently, and I am too busy. I don't want to be laughed at if I fail to train. That is your own army, Your Majesty!"

Liu Hongjian really didn't like meetings, and he would only deny it once if he could have the audacity to do so.

"Humph!" Chongzhen snorted coldly, thinking in his heart that only your thousand soldiers could do anything after training, but he was too lazy to bargain with this tired boy.

Huh - finally got through!
Seeing Chongzhen's acquiescence, Liu Hongjian heaved a sigh of relief, saluted and left the Qianqing Palace.

Thick-skinned is good!Liu Hongjian thought to himself if he had known that a thick-skinned man could lead the world, and he would have to learn everything he said.

Thick skin can be roughly divided into the following states. First, I don’t know that I have thick skin. Second, I know that I have thick skin, but I am afraid that others will know it.

Third, everyone, including myself, knows that they have a thick skin.

This fourth state is also the highest state. Not only do you know that you have a thick skin, but others also know that you have a thick skin. You are afraid that others will not know, so you can remind everyone if you have nothing to do.

This realm is referred to as: Shameless!
Compared with those court ministers who think the water is too cold, think about it, I guess I have just started!
The road is long and long!I will search up and down……

Liu Hongjian shook his head, left the palace and went to the Ministry of Industry again.

Since the last time Liu Hongjian handed over the AKM to Fan Jingwen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Hongjian has seen the old Shangshu twice in total. Every time, the old man frowns and looks lost in thought.

Compared with Li Banghua's strict military department, the Ministry of Industry is more lively. A group of engineering experts are either discussing construction plans around various drawings, or discussing and handling engineering projects proposed by lower-level ministries.

Fan Jingwen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stood by the innermost case. There were a bunch of parts on the case, and Liu Hongjian took a wide-eyed look.

Obediently!Isn't that my AKM?
How did it become a pile of parts?What did Old Man Fan do to it?my gun!
Seeing a rare visitor, Fan Jingwen hurriedly put down what he was doing and came out to greet him.

"A rare guest, An Guobo! I just have a question to ask you! Come!" The old Shangshu invited Liu Hongjian to the table, pointing to the pile of parts.

"I'm ashamed to say it! The old man disassembled Aka's beloved mother a few days ago, and now... I don't know how to put it back together..."

Old Shangshu looked embarrassed, if it wasn't for the wrinkles covering his embarrassment, he would really be an old monkey with red buttocks.

This is the difference between engineering students and liberal arts students. If Wei Zaode or Qian Shuiliang were here, Liu Hongjian can guarantee that they will not be red-faced, and they will not talk about it, and it will make you feel ashamed.

Although he was a layman in firearms at the beginning, but Liu Hongjian fiddled with the ring when he had nothing to do, and now it is not a big problem to assemble an AKM.

Other officials in the middle hall also put down their work and surrounded them. It took only 3 minutes for Liu Hongjian to reassemble the AKM.

All the engineering bigwigs around also applauded.

Liu Hongjian asked Lao Shangshu if he had come up with any tricks for this AKM. Lao Shangshu sighed and shook his head. He showed this gun to almost all the foundry masters in the Ministry of Industry, but they all shook their heads and didn't know the reason.

It is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty was still a matchlock gun at this time, and the AKM was a firing needle gun, and there was still a generation of firearms in the middle.

Liu Hongjian came here this time to take away the AKM. Every one of this thing is a treasure now, and with the current level of technology, even if it can be researched and understood, it cannot be manufactured. The second thing he did when he visited the Ministry of Industry.

Liu Hongjian didn't say a word, reached out to take the brush on the table, and drew the schematic diagram of the sudden-firing gun on the rice paper based on his thinking. The brushwork was rough, but basically it could express the meaning clearly.

Fan Jingwen took the paper and observed it carefully, his brows were tightly frowned, he seemed to be unable to see clearly because of his age, then the old Shangshu went to the window again, looked at the light for a while, but still frowning, and handed the blueprint to his side colleagues.

The drawings were circulated around, but in the end, instead of one person frowning, a group of people frowning.

Liu Hongjian looked at this group of construction elites of the Ming Empire in his spare time.

It’s not that these people in front of you are not smart enough. In fact, the Ministry of Industry gathers the construction and craftsman elites of the entire Ming Empire, but sometimes technological breakthroughs are like a thin layer of window paper. You clearly know that there is something behind the window paper, but Can't see through.

The so-called quick-fire gun, a piece of flint is clamped on the jaw of the hammer, and an anvil is set beside the fire transmission hole. Sparks, ignited gunpowder percussion.

Liu Hongjian was like a magic stick that pierced through the window paper. He only needed a few words to announce the core principle of the firearm to the public.

Matchlock guns are not only troublesome to ignite, but also inefficient. They cannot be used in rainy days or in slightly humid environments. This greatly hinders the enthusiasm of soldiers. Even now, many generals do not like firearms.

"Heaven is a genius! Daming will add another weapon to kill the enemy. An Guobo has such a great talent at a young age, and it will definitely be recorded in the annals of history!

The old man is going to arrange for the craftsmen to make a trial, no, the old man has to go to announce the good news to the emperor first!The old man takes a step first. "Old Shangshu went out excitedly, not forgetting to bring the sketch.

No one understands the importance of this invention to Ming Dynasty better than Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.
