Chapter Ninety-Six: The Development of the Military Industry

Although it is not as good as after Confucius, it can be regarded as an iron rice bowl for generations.

The Duanmu family has long since declined, so naturally it is willing. Even if he knows that this is a fake book, the Duanmu family will also learn it as a family study, Duanmu Rui, as the contemporary head of the Duanmu family, is not very old, but he is in his twenties, and he has worked hardest on "Duanmuzi", even when Liu Dingzhi was in Fujian, he also wrote letters to ask for advice all the time.

Therefore, when Liu Dingzhi became the Shaofu Cheng, he felt that there was a shortage of people under him, and the first thing that came to mind was Duanmurui.

So Duanmurui became the head of this ordnance factory.

If it weren't for the emperor coming, Liu Dingzhi wouldn't be here in his usual time.

Zhu Qizhen nodded, as if he had forgotten the embarrassment just now, and kept the three words Duanmuri in his heart. In Zhu Qizhen's view, everyone who is proficient in this kind of large-scale industrial production division process is worthy of Zhu Qizhen's memory.

Although it is only a prototype now.

Zhu Qizhen said to the British duke: "What does the duke think? ”

The British Duke said, "Can the minister look at this knife?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Guogong, please take a look." ”

The British official bowed and took a few steps back before taking out a long sheathed knife and pulling it out. The reason why Zhang Fu retreated was to stay away from the emperor, otherwise even if the emperor allowed it, the crime of exposing his blade in front of the emperor would be big or small.

The British public flicked his fingers and listened to the sound of knives. said: "Your Majesty, the long knife here is not of the highest grade in the army. But it's qualified. ”

Zhu Qizhen also pulled out a long knife, and he was far from the British tolerance.

The British public has experienced a hundred battles, and this weapon is a guy who eats, and it only takes two or three clicks to see the clues, but Zhu Qizhen has to use a knife to cut it, so he knows who is tall and who is bad.

Zhu Qizhen said: "British Duke, there are some flaws here that can be corrected, don't you see how fast this production is?" ”

Zhu Qizhen was not surprised by this.

Before, every piece of Daming weapons came from the hands of one person, and there were craftsmen who left their names to find the person in charge. A person has built the whole body, and if he is proficient, the level is naturally good.

But now the process is separated, the time is short, and different processes collide together, and there are some problems with each other. A little worse quality is also conceivable.

Zhang Fu said: "What Your Majesty said is very true. ”

Zhu Qizhen saw that Zhang Fu was not much moved.

Even if it is faster, if there is no overwhelming advantage over the army's active weapons, what kind of look does Zhu Qizhen expect Zhang Fu to show.

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "When the machine rumbles on, you will know how huge the power is, although it is still a prototype. ”

Zhu Qizhen asked Liu Dingzhi and said, "Are you going to move this workshop to the south of the city?" ”

Liu Dingzhi said: "Exactly, the minister is ready to use the water conservancy on the Lugou River to hammer it. Since then, the manpower of craftsmen has been saved, and it can be done around the clock. ”

"Actually, the minister has an idea? Can this workshop be placed in Zunhua? The situation on the Lugou River is complicated, many rivers are occupied by people, but on the Zunhua Chaohe River, there are few people, and it is connected to the Zunhua Iron Mine, and there are coal mines, which saves the power of transshipment. ”

Zhu Qizhen naturally knew how convenient it was to produce in Zunhua, but Zhu Qizhen thought about it and vetoed it. said: "Let's be in the south of the city." ”

Because Zhu Qizhen still remembers the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, he also came to the city first.

Although Zhu Qizhen felt that this thing in this time and space would definitely not happen, but what if it happened?

In this Zunhua ordnance factory, is it not an enemy?

If it was okay to rob some weapons, it would be a huge loss to rob these craftsmen, and it would be different in the south of the city.

It is only a dozen miles away from Beijing City, and it is easy to retreat when retreating.

Even so, Zhu Qizhen was not too relieved in his heart, and said secretly: "Shouldn't I build a satellite city in the south of the city?" ”

The Water Conservancy School was established outside the city, and there are already many people living near the Water Conservancy School.

However, this is a relatively distant matter.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I see that these craftsmen are good, how do you do it?" ”

Although Zhu Qizhen has never been here, he has also heard that these craftsmen are a corrupt official with ragged clothes and skinny bones, looking like a beggar. Even if they do, they can only marry each other among the craftsmen.

It's not that they are in a group, but that good people don't marry them.

Today, it seems that he is a little weak, but he is in good spirits and works very hard.

Liu Dingzhi said: "The minister is just inheriting the wisdom of King Jinggong. ”

"Oh." Zhu Qizhen said: "What is the way? ”

"Exemption from military service." Liu Dingzhi said: "The ministers have checked, the craftsmen in the factory are divided into two categories, one is Beijing local, most of them were moved to Beijing by Emperor Taizong, and settled in Beijing, and a group of people are from other places, or serve for a few months a year, or serve for a year for a year. ”

"The ministers exempted the craftsmen from other places from their errands, and let them pay silver every year according to the size of the errand and distribute it to the local craftsmen in Beijing, so that they could work in the factory all year round."

In this way, each man will have enough money to feed his family. Naturally, they were happy. ”

He also gave away a sum of money according to the monthly output to reward the one who had done the most. That's what it is today. ”

After Zhu Qizhen heard this, his first thought was to exempt the exempt silver of foreign craftsmen.

Because they are already bitter enough, Zhu Qizhen has heard of too many craftsmen, in order to go to Beijing

servitude, the tragedy of selling sons and daughters, and how much is the craftsman's exemption money.

Zhu Qizhen saved a little in the palace, it was enough.

But he quickly suppressed his thoughts, because giving benefits to others is also a science, and it is necessary to come little by little, so that they will be grateful.

If it is given all at once, the effect is not good.

This is the human heart, and the emperor faces the most is the human heart.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Yes, is there anything I need to solve here?" ”

Liu Dingzhi said: "Your Majesty really has something that Your Majesty needs to decide. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Tell me. ”

Liu Dingzhi said: "It is weights and measures, although there are official fights in various places, but there is also a gap between official fights and official fights, and the construction ruler and the measuring cloth ruler are different, so it is very difficult to do." ”

"The minister found that if you want to facilitate the division of labor, you must have two points, one is to use more machinery, and the other is to make weights and measures accurate, otherwise you will not be able to fight together."

"This sword and the like are still simple, the galloping carriage that the household has been building, if the weights and measures are not unified, there can be no division of labor at all, but this one thing is not something that people can do, and it must be decided by the Son of Heaven."

Zhu Qizhen sighed in his heart, feeling that many things were not unknown to the ancients, but that political resources were not tilted, as long as political resources were tilted, nothing could be done.

In fact, after Zhu Qizhen saw Qin Tianjian, he did not believe in the potential of the Chinese in machinery, because Bei Lin presented Zhu Qizhen with a set of water transportation planetariums.

Among them, the exquisite design has reached the point that Zhu Qizhen is almost incomprehensible.

was blackmailed by Belin with an annual fund of 30,000 taels to rebuild the water planetarium.

And in terms of weights and measures, it is not that the imperial court did not have a set of weights and measures, but that the weights and measures determined by the agricultural society did not take into account industrial production at all.

And this weights and measures are easy to say, but not easy to revise.

Why didn't Liu Dingzhi dare to move, because this is related to etiquette.

It's like Qin uses six and Han uses five, which makes Zhu Qizhen not quite understand, but he knows that this matter must be solved.

Even this one thing, as long as it is done well, its influence will be much, much greater than the current incident of the tile thorns attacking Haixi.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I know. ”

Immediately, Zhu Qizhen glanced at the British Duke behind him, the Duke of Chengguo, and suddenly had a feeling of flattering eyes thrown to everyone. He actually showed Zhang Fu his preparation, so that Zhang Fu could have more confidence.

But although Zhang Fu thought it was good, he didn't think that this thing was so powerful, and Zhu Qizhen's goal was not achieved at all.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I have returned to the palace, and the British Duke is also tired today, so go back to the house to rest." ”

Zhang Fu said: "The minister obeys the order. ”
