Chapter 66 No.60 Seven Ancient Rare
"Slave Fu Mingde greets His Majesty..." Fu Mingde, the director of the arsenal, greeted the emperor with a puzzled expression.I didn't know what was going on, so I called myself over.

"Fu Mingde, um, very good, how is the quality of your musket now?"

Fu Mingde's face turned pale unnaturally. Last time, on the school grounds, Fu Mingde still remembers the tragic scene of those craftsmen who took the guns they made and shot them and blew up the craftsmen.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant is now strictly monitoring the quality of the craftsmen every day to ensure that there will be no problems at all. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if there is any problem again, this servant will take the gun to test fire..." Fu Mingde also knew The emperor's patience is limited, and he will never tolerate another explosion. If so, he will definitely let himself hold the gun to test fire. Of course, as the director of the arsenal, Fu Mingde will call those craftsmen Go test shoot first.to ensure that this never happens.

"It's good if there is no quality problem. Today, I will introduce you to an inventor and a firearms expert. Bi Maokang and Bi Aiqing are now ministers in charge of the production of muskets from the Ministry of Industry. In the future, you will not produce matchlock guns. Quickly produce the flintlock gun invented by Bi Aiqing..."

"Slave obeys the order." Fu Mingde replied cautiously, producing new muskets?No problem, as long as it is not a quality problem.

"Bi Aiqing, your task is to quickly finalize this flintlock gun so that it can be manufactured on a large scale. There are different types of flintlock guns, understand?"

"I understand, I obey the order." Bi Maokang replied respectfully.

"Well, that's very good, Fu Mingde, I placed an order for [-] long guns and [-] hand guns to the Bingzhan Bureau. You will be responsible for manufacturing them within one year, understand? This thing, each shot, I will give you five taels of silver." Yang Reform immediately placed an order.

"...Slaves understand..." In fact, Fu Mingde didn't quite understand, how could the emperor's own family's military situation still need to place orders?What is an order?Fu Mingde is quite confused, it has always been an imperial decree of the emperor, we start the military battle, and get everything from the underwear, the emperor gave himself the price of five taels of silver a rod, does it mean that it is too much Post the money yourself, and earn the rest?Want to control costs yourself?As it should be.Fu Mingde thought so.

I also thought that the cost of making this gun is only four or five taels. Even if the quality requirements are stricter, it will be five taels at most. Now I need to add some kind of flint. There is no difference between the same guns, and it is estimated that it will not cost much money. If you calculate it this way, wouldn't it be possible to earn some money by yourself with a gun?The emperor ordered [-] rods at a time, which is really a big deal!When Fu Mingde thought of this, he felt that the emperor was really famous, and he wanted to run away by himself, and he was not allowed to eat more.

"It's good to understand, then go and do it quickly, the matchlock guns will be stopped immediately..." Yang Reform urged Fu Mingde to produce flintlock guns as soon as possible, wishing to equip all the troops with flintlock guns immediately.

"Wait, there is one more thing... This flintlock gun is a secret matter. How it is manufactured, including drawings, designs, and technology, must be kept secret. If it is leaked, it should be discussed as a forbidden Chinese language... ", at the end of the sentence, it was already quite severe.Yang Reform suddenly remembered that there was no sense of secrecy in this era, and there was no such thing as intellectual property rights. Later, Bi Maokang also published this book introducing the production of firearms to contribute his wisdom to mankind. It can be said that people in this era are too pure, so it is better to issue a confidential order first, lest they take their own technology and spread it everywhere. Now, it is Yang Reform's turn to wield the big stick of intellectual property rights.

Listening to the emperor's words, the group of people on the side suddenly felt a chill in their necks, "leaking the forbidden Chinese language", this crime is really big enough, if something really happened, ransacking the house and beheading would be inevitable.I also suddenly realized that I should not casually talk about this matter in front of others.

……

After Fu Mingde left, Bi Maokang also left, and went to discuss with Fu Mingde about making guns.

"Master Sun, you gave me a great gift today! Such a sharp weapon is beneficial to the country and the people, and the merits will last forever! I have thanked Master Sun here." Pass Sun Chengzong.

"Your Majesty needn't be like this, I'm terrified and ashamed..." Sun Chengzong hastily bowed to the emperor to avoid the emperor's salute.

"Master Sun, you deserve this great gift. You don't need to be modest. I'm still looking forward to Master Sun finding more talents for me."

"Your Majesty is serious..." Sun Chengzong had no choice but to follow the emperor's wishes.

As he walked, Sun Chengzong thought of something again.

"Your Majesty, I have a question. I don't know whether to ask it or not." Sun Chengzong asked.

"Master Sun, just say what you want." Yang Reformed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister saw that His Majesty ordered two kinds of firecrackers, two types of length, I wonder what His Majesty's plan is?"

"Hehe, Master Sun! That's how it is. I think that this long spear is given to ordinary sergeants as a weapon to kill the enemy head-on, and the pistol is distributed to small flags, general flags, and hundreds of households. What does Master Sun think about the different treatment of sergeants?" Yang Reform watched countless war movies.Naturally, I know that officers are equipped with pistols, and ordinary soldiers are equipped with long guns. This is a popular trend in later generations. Now, I naturally want to equip my new army like this.

"Your Majesty is right!" Sun Chengzong stroked his beard, thought for a while, and praised the emperor.

Yang Reform could only laugh about it, it was nothing, after all, he plagiarized.

……

Yang Reform and Sun Chengzong walked around the school field.Walk and talk.Talk about some recent situations.

"Master Sun, how has Yuan Chonghuan been these few days?" Yang Reform has a lot to do with Yuan Chonghuan's current situation. This guy won't be afraid of being scolded by himself, right?
"His Majesty, since he was taught by His Majesty, he has never been a monk. It is said that he has been thinking hard at home all day, repenting." Sun Chengzong replied.

"Oh, that's right! Yuan Chonghuan still has loyalty, but it's a pity that he is a little too impulsive in doing things. After a good training, he can still be alone..." Yang Reform didn't want him to "disappear in smoke" for this historical celebrity. I hope he can help him achieve his career.

"What your majesty said is that Ziroom lacks the big picture. His majesty's harsh lesson this time will surely allow him to gain something and grow up.... The minister is also old and has no successors! Your majesty must find a pillar of success as soon as possible. Talent!" Sun Chengzong is almost 70 years old, and he is aging very badly. If he didn't want to support Chongzhen, he would have gone home to take care of himself.Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of life, and they are unavoidable. Therefore, there is a persuasion like last words, persuading the emperor to find someone who can replace him as soon as possible, otherwise, once he dies, the empire will be even more dangerous.

"..." Yang Reform was silent for a while, yes!This Sun Chengzong is also old, and he is very old. Although his body is still strong, but..., alas, "rare in ancient times"!Someone who is almost 70 years old...

When Yang Reform thought of Sun Chengzong's old age, he had to help him train the new army and support himself in the situation of the Ming Dynasty. The old man who was 70 years old helped him tide over the difficulties, and Yang Reform felt even more uncomfortable.

What about young people?What about reliable young people?over there?Yang Reform thought of Yuan Chonghuan, who still needs to be tempered, and thought of the young Wu Sangui, and he himself had to beware of his possible rebellion.Thinking of his new army, he had just started training.Yang Reform felt helpless for a while, and he still needs to work harder.

……

Yang Reform and Sun Chengzong walked around, talked for a while, and then went to the trainees who were training partners to exercise together, which can be regarded as an emotional investment. Perhaps, his future generals are in this.
