Chapter 328: True Gold Is Not Afraid of Fire
It's finally here!
These 10,000 pairs of cotton armor really affect the hearts of many people!
Kou Yi, who led to the transport of cotton armor, didn't get a good night's sleep all the way, often got up in the middle of the night and went to inspect again, if he made a mistake, he would not be saved.
The whole person is haggard!
So much so that when he saw Guo Dan, he almost didn't burst into tears, and shouted excitedly: "Uncle! ”
This uncle is really full of grievances.
"The housekeeper has worked hard."
Guo Dan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "It's not your fault, you've done a very good job." ”
Hearing this, Kou Yi suddenly choked up.
This mission, for him, was really a personal life, and he had never felt so much pressure.
But Guo Dan's next sentence made him miserable.
"With this experience, it will be much better next time, and I will slowly get used to it."
Come a few more times, I won't be tired to death, and I will be scared to death.
Kou Yi cried!
At this time, another group of people came, and in the middle was a red sedan chair.
Walking in front of Guo Dan, the sedan chair fell, and I saw Fang Fengshi walking out of the sedan chair.
When he heard the news, he also rushed here as soon as possible to contract the cotton armor to Guo Dan, in fact, it was his idea, he hoped to use this to reform the military and politics, so he attached great importance to this transaction.
"Ho!"
Guo Dan suddenly exclaimed, "Butler, hurry up and order someone to take care of the cotton armor, don't let people do anything." ”
Kou Yi didn't know what was going on at all, he was so frightened that he shouted in a hurry, escorted the personnel, and immediately cheered up and guarded the carriage.
What with what?
Fang Fengshi looked at Guo Dan with a puzzled expression, "Are you a kid?" The old man is not a robber? ”
Guo Dan bowed his hand and said with a hippie smile: "Don't blame Lord Shangshu, the grass people are now frightened birds, and the grass people are scared half to death." ”
"Really?"
Fang Fengshi snorted: "The old man wants to see how long you can cover it." ”
Guo smiled and said: "The grass people don't dare, they have already formulated the rules, just do things according to the rules, and Lord Shangshu is not in a hurry at this time." ”
Fang Fengshi couldn't help but laugh a few times, "Okay, okay, then do things according to the rules, if you find out that there are unqualified, you look good." ”
Guo smiled lightly: "I have a lot of confidence in my people, as long as no one engages in crooked ways, I am not afraid." ”
Fang Fengshi was stunned, this kid has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard recently, and he talks to the old man with a gun and a stick.
It's really inflated!
Fang Fengshi suddenly said to a young man about thirty years old beside him: "Virtuous nephew, you also heard it, I can't see this cotton armor for the time being." ”
The young man hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Your Excellency is in charge." But his expression was extremely surprised.
Fang Fengshi snorted: "The old man can't be the master. ”
Major General? Guo glanced at the young man and asked Fang Fengshi, "Lord Shangshu, who is this?" ”
Fang Fengshi said: "He is the fifth son of Liaodong General Li, Li Rumei and Li Counselor, this time I sent horses to Beijing by fate, and escorted Mianjia back, just because I knew that Mianjia would arrive first, so I asked him to come to the capital first." ”
Sending his own son over, it can be seen that Li Chengliang also attaches great importance to this matter, just talk about the matter, this matter really can't go wrong, whoever wants to make a mistake has to be responsible.
"It turned out to be a major general, disrespectful, disrespectful."
Guo Dan bowed.
"You are Guo Dan." The young general's eyes were a little curious, "I heard my father mention you. ”
"I don't know if Mr. Li is in good health?"
"Everything is fine with my father."
"That's good, that's good." Guo Dan suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Since this is the case, why not let the young general choose the inspectors." ”
"Huh?"
Li Rumei was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know why she had to look at Guo Dan, and then at Fang Fengshi.
Guo smiled lightly: "Don't worry, rest assured, it's very simple, with General Li's skills, there is absolutely no problem." ”
The contract was signed for this transaction, but it broke the record, the longest contract in history, more than 100 pages, and the reason why it was so long was because it included an "inspection committee" and also developed a very strict inspection process.
This set of processes shocked the government and the opposition at the time, and it was really the most stringent inspection standard in history, and the key test was Guo Dan himself.
Therefore, when Guo Dan, Fang Fengshi, and Li Rumei came to the military department, Wang Jiaping and other cabinet ministers, as well as Zhang Cheng, the celebrant supervisor, Zhang Whale of Dongchang, and Jiang Yinglan and others were already waiting for the table.
It's one thing to write it on the contract, it's another thing to actually do it, and they all want to see how it is tested and how it works.
If the effect is good.......
Many ministers want to reform this, because as long as the imperial court procures armaments from abroad, there will definitely be a phenomenon of cutting corners, and it is impossible not to appear, and now it is getting more and more serious, and the key countries are poor, and they often know that they are inferior, and they have to be sent to the border.
That is to say, from top to bottom, there is no one who is not greedy, otherwise, why would Hai Rui be so prominent, as long as he goes to become an official, all the local officials will resign, and we are not clean officials, so what.
It's a pity that Hai Rui only has morality and lacks technical support, Guo Dan is in Weihui Mansion, whoever wants to resign should hurry up.
About the inspection committee, has already been formed, in fact, is to select some skilled craftsmen from the people, there are currently 200 people, a total of two meetings, the first is to teach them the inspection process, the second is to test whether they are proficient in the inspection process.
According to the rules, this time twenty people were to be randomly selected to inspect the shipment.
How random it is is also the rule that Guo Dan set at the beginning, that is, to make a big arrow target that can be rotated, with the names of the committee members written on it, and then the arrow is wrapped in an ink-stained cloth, and when the arrow target rotates, whoever hits is who.
As for the sample quantity of goods, it was originally set at 1 to 2 per cent.
That is, it cannot be less than one hundred, but it cannot be higher than one hundred and ninety-nine, but how many pieces are there, throwing dice, ten-sided dice, respectively, engraved with 0 to 9.
Two dice were thrown, red for the tens and blue for the single digits, and the final result was one hundred and forty-nine pieces.
The next step is sampling, and the inspection law stipulates that there are several ways to randomly sample, and this is the quantity and goods to choose. This time, the choice was to sprinkle beans and sample, a total of 200 carts, each with 50 pairs, or 51 cars, and a grid was drawn in an open space, with two hundred horizontal columns and fifty columns.
Sprinkle the beans into it three times, the first eighty, the second forty-nine, and the third twenty.
If it has been selected, put a wooden pier directly on it to ensure that it will not be hit the second time.
This also represents three levels of inspection.
The first stage is non-destructive testing, which means that the inspection is carried out without damaging the sample.
The second level, repairable inspection, is to cut a small opening, take out a little cotton, or remove a rivet, a piece of leather, after the inspection, and then sew it up.
The third level is to completely decompose and check whether each component inside is qualified.
After all, cotton armor is not cheap, and more than a hundred pairs are all decomposed, and no one can afford to lose.
This time, Li Rumei personally handled it.
Whoosh!
As the arrows were fired, twenty commissioners were soon released.
Fang Shi had already notified the 200 committee members to be on standby.
The committee members were very excited, and they were eager to be selected, because the inspection pay was very high, calculated according to the time of work, one penny per hour, and giving them such a high remuneration, that is, to ensure that they cherished the job.
After the committee came out, the samples were also confirmed.
The next step is to inspect the site and tools, which are sent by the imperial court and inspected by the dental industry.
Two watches.
Zhang Cheng came to the Qianqing Palace.
Where can Wanli sleep, this is his business, he has lost so much money, if something goes wrong again, he really wants to die, and asked, "How is it?" ”
Zhang Cheng said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, this test is really fatal, it took a whole day, and it is still being prepared, and it is estimated that the real test will start tomorrow morning." ”
"Still preparing?"
Wanli wondered, "Do you have to prepare for so long?" ”
Zhang Cheng said: "That kid is really troublesome, making so many cumbersome rules to test himself, this is really the first time I have seen it." ”
Wanli also shook his head with a wry smile.
Near noon on the second day, the 20 committee members entered the venue, and they only inspected according to the inspection process, and they did not care whether the tools were satisfactory or not.
In addition to this, both the Yahang and the imperial court sent people to supervise.
On the side of Yaxing, they are all former tooth people, and the lineup on the side of the imperial court is very luxurious, Wang Jiaping, Fang Fengshi, and Jiang Yinglan are all here.
"I didn't think this test was complicated, I... It's the first time I've seen it. ”
Just started, Li Rumei, the son of Jiangmen, began to wipe her sweat.
Guo smiled lightly: "This real gold is not afraid of fire to refine, I have absolute confidence in my goods, I even dare to say that except for me, there is no batch of armaments just placed here for inspection." Hehe. ”
Li Rumei looked at Guo Dan in surprise.
This kid is a fool, and he dares to say this.
Fang Fengshi, Wang Jiaping and others also glanced at Guo Dan.
And Guo Dan is a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and he doesn't feel that he has said the wrong thing.
Fang Fengshi came to Guo Dan's side and said in a low voice: "Have you kid taken the wrong medicine recently, you dare to say anything." ”
Why do you say it so quietly, say it out loud! Guo smiled lightly and said: "Lord Shangshu said as if I shut my mouth, some people don't want to kill me, and the grass people also figured it out, anyway, the grass people are also a rotten life, are you afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, anyway, there are a few who can pull a few pads, and one is also earning." ”
Fang hurriedly walked away.
This kid is really crazy.
Jiang Yinglan said: "You always say that someone wants to harm you, so you should name it?" ”
Guo Dan snorted: "Jiang Qi didn't seem to have targeted me before, so let me ask Jiang Qishi, what did I do wrong?" ”
Jiang Yinglan was speechless.
Guo Dan said with a look of grievance: "I lost money to help the imperial court produce cotton nails, but what is in exchange, many people don't want me to complete it, don't say you don't know, full of benevolence and morality, do all the indiscriminate things, I am a businessman who looks down on them." ”
That Li Rumei looked at Guo Dan with a shocked face.
Why is this businessman so arrogant?
He began to beat the drum in his heart, thinking to himself that he would have to order someone to inspect the horses later, and if he was caught by this kid, it would really be ......
Wang Jiaping reprimanded in a deep voice: "This is the Ministry of War, and you can't be allowed to talk nonsense." ”
"The lessons of adults, how dare the grass people disobey." Having said this, Guo Dan was unconvinced, and muttered in his mouth: "But whether I'm talking nonsense or not, everyone knows it." ”
"You ......."
Wang Jiaping is also depressed, this kid used to be very sleek, and his speech was leaky, why has he become a stunned young man now, who is arrested and who is scolded, is it inflated?
Zhang Cheng looked at Guo Dan angrily and funny, he understood very well in his heart, if Guo Dan didn't do this, he would definitely not please him, if he didn't say it, people would target him, maybe if he scolded a few words, the other party would have more concerns.
After all, Guo Dan is tile, they are porcelain.
It's not a good deal.
