Qin Chuan spent the whole day in the inner courtyard, except for eating, the rest of the time stayed in the room and played with Wen Suxin in a wedding dress.

Luo Da Niu also nested in Li Anru's boudoir all day, and even lunch was delivered to the door by the Ning family.

Li Yueru also nested in her boudoir all day, and she didn't eat a bite of the lunch sent by Ning's.

The next day, Qin Chuan went out with a yawn, and after eating breakfast under Wen Suxin's service, he dragged his soft legs out of the inner courtyard.

He went to the official office and spent the morning dealing with government affairs, and in the afternoon held a meeting with Wang Jizong, Wencheng and other officials from various departments to discuss the establishment and adjustment of functional departments, civil administration, and agricultural development.

The appointment and dismissal of officials and the assessment of officials, Wen Cheng is well organized, I don't know if this father-in-law learned the way to be an official from the old man Wen Zheng, or if the blood of their Wen family will be born to be an official, the officials of various divisions, as well as the county officials and other officials in Jingle Lan County, are not unconvinced by him.

The household department has the most arduous work, not only managing the existing households, arranging for the new hungry and prisoners to settle down, but also managing the construction of water conservancy, the reclamation of farmland, spring sowing and autumn harvest, and so on.

So Qin Chuan assigned Wang Jizong as many as four deputy directors, in charge of different work, and there were twelve departments below, and the number of officials was also the largest among all departments.

Previously, Wang Jizong sent a letter to Mr. Zhizhou in Shuntianfu, saying that he wanted to buy new crop seeds, and the more the better.

Not long ago, Mr. Zhizhou replied, saying that after the autumn harvest, he would pick out as many seeds as possible and ask the Jingshi Zhenhai Dart Bureau to escort them to Lou Fu.

In addition to Mr. Zhizhou's reply, he also sent a book called "The Pulse of the Country and the People", which is a new agricultural book written by Geng Yinlou, a member of the Ministry of Officials.

Wang Jizong had already seen it, and he was very interested in raising and drying seeds, so he specially took it out for Qin Chuan to see.

Qin Chuan's eyes widened for a while, and he barely understood the meaning.

Then, he excitedly patted his thigh and announced the establishment of a breeding department, which was subordinate to the Department of Household Affairs, and Wang Jizong personally served as the section chief.

When the time comes, the people can use the grain they harvest in exchange for the good seeds bred by the household secretary, so as to increase the overall production.

The breeding crops are mainly potatoes, corn, wheat, millet and soybeans, supplemented by some sweet potatoes, millet, sorghum, barley, black beans, mung beans, red adzuki beans, etc.

This work is a top priority in the overall agricultural production.

Qin Chuan also specially told Wang Jizong to go to the treasury to pick up a few gifts suitable for Mr. Zhizhou's taste, antique calligraphy and paintings, jade and strange stones, or gold and silver jewelry, etc., after the seeds arrived, and then asked the Zhenhai Dart Bureau to bring back the gifts and the silver to buy seeds to Mr. Zhizhou.

The meeting lasted until the evening.

When Qin Chuan walked out of the office, he happened to see Luo Da Niu humming a little song and walking over with frivolous steps.

"Ahem." Qin Chuan cleared his throat.

"The big boss."

Luo Da Niu smiled, and ran over to shout flatteringly.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile and asked, "From last night to today, you haven't been out of Miss Li's boudoir?" ”

"Hey, hey...... Don't you say that everyone takes three days off? ”

"I didn't let you come out to work, let's say, did you leave Miss Li's boudoir?"

"Nope."

Luo Da Niu touched his head embarrassedly.

"Two days and one night, did you pee and?"

"Hey, hey, there's a night pot in her room."

"Aren't you afraid of smoking your eldest lady to death?"

"I'll come out and pour a night pot once."

"Hmm...... Slept? ”

"Sleep."

"Hard?"

"At first, it was hard, then it was half-pushed, and then it was a matter of course."

"Yo, I've learned Yayu."

"Hey, hey, I learned from drinking with a military advisor once."

"Hmmm......"

Qin Chuan suddenly remembered that when Song Zhiting's guy opened a new school in Jingle and Lan County, and was so busy that he couldn't take care of his daily life, he said that he couldn't take care of his daily life, and then hired two well-behaved maids to help with his daily life.

Since then, the guy has rarely been annoyed.

Probably busy working during the day, and playing with Danqing ink on the two maids at night with the lamp.

But now that guy is in Mengjiazhuang, and they just had a meeting together, and now they should go to the school to show off his Danqing ink to those students.

Seeing that Qin Chuan was silent, Luo Daniu said with a shy face: "I came out to ask the big boss if there is anything to explain to me." ”

"It's fine."

Qin Chuan waved his hand.

"Eh, then I'll go back."

"Take it easy, don't mess up."

"I see."

"By the way, tomorrow I will send someone to Fenyang to tell you the matchmaker, if that Xuezheng Li Pingdu does not agree, tell him that the raw rice has been cooked and cooked, if he still does not agree, we will not dump him, and directly make you a wedding wine."

"Eh, the big boss is the best for me."

"Go, go, go."

"Huh."

Luo Da Niu went upside down, rubbing his thick back as he ran.

Qin Chuan shook his head, raised his feet and walked towards the artillery factory, and subconsciously rubbed his old waist.

He hadn't been to the cannon factory for a long time, and he didn't know how Chen Zhan's great artillery-making business was doing.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the artillery factory, the two Guan Emperor soldiers guarding the door subconsciously stopped in front of the door, and after seeing that it was Qin Chuan, they hurriedly called out respectfully, "My lord", and then opened the gate.

Qin Chuan patted them on the shoulder encouragingly, raised his foot and walked into the artillery factory.

Chen Zhan was wearing white and sweaty arms, and instructed the craftsman to pour molten iron into an iron mold, and judging by the size of the mold, it should be a red-clothed general cannon.

Seeing Qin Chuan coming in, Chen Zhan hurriedly called out "Sir", and then stared at the inclined molten iron with full attention, commanding the craftsman to control the pouring speed and angle from time to time to prevent bubbles from appearing in the barrel.

It wasn't until the molten iron was filled and a layer of coke was piled around the mold for heat preservation that Chen Zhan jumped off the high platform.

Qin Chuan smiled and asked, "How is it?" Has everything been going well lately? ”

Chen Zhan nodded: "Fortunately, in the past few days, the artillery factory has built two more red-clothed general cannons, a total of thirty large and small Francophone machines and tiger squat cannons, and the twelve-pound cannon that the adults asked for has also been built, but unfortunately it didn't work, and when the cannon was tested, four times the gunpowder was put to blow up." ”

"Well, it's okay, it's hard to build a cannon of thousands of pounds, so it's okay to take your time."

"My subordinates must build that cannon as soon as possible."

"By the way, from now on, the small cannons of the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Little Franco, let's slow down for the time being, the main manufacturer of the Red General Cannon and the Twelve-pounder Cannon, we may have a tough battle to fight next year, and we have to prepare more powerful artillery in advance."

"Yes."

Qin Chuan didn't stay long in the gun factory, because he couldn't help much, so he only discussed with Chen Zhan for a while how to make a twelve-pound cannon, and then left the gun factory and went to the gun factory.

The gun factory was also busy, with the sound of clanging irons everywhere.

Li Xuejing was teaching two new craftsmen to do things, picking up the barrels and bolt accessories on the table from time to time, knocking and beating to do demonstrations in person.

In a large shed next to it, several mules were pulling the turntable to drill the barrel of the gun, outside some craftsmen were making molds out of fine sand to cast bolt parts, some were polishing the parts, and the craftsmen of the row of houses opposite were planing wooden butts, and some were loading the barrels and bolt parts on the butts.

Qin Chuan said hello to Li Xuejing, and then walked over to watch the sand mold casting parts.

Looking at it, he suddenly slapped his head, and he seemed to be a little stupid.

Sand mold casting is time-consuming, and the size of the cast parts is too different, and it takes a lot of manpower to polish and form.

He can build a set of hot rolling device, like making an iron pot, pour the gelatinous wrought iron into the mold, and then stamping it into the required workpiece, take it out and polish it, and then carry out heat treatment to improve the strength.

This method can save the time of making the mud mold, and can also save a lot of time spent on grinding, save time and effort, the workpiece made of hot rolling has good toughness, easy to process, and can get high strength after heat treatment.

However, the spring strip cannot be manufactured by this method, and can only be tempered to eliminate impurities and fill the steel with molten pig iron to obtain a spring strip with a certain elasticity.

After thinking for a while, and basically confirming that it was feasible, Qin Chuan called Li Xuejing over and said his thoughts.

After listening to his words, Li Xuejing was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh again and again, he forgot about this method.

Immediately, Li Xuejing immediately brought paper and pen and drew a mold sketch with Qin Chuan.

If this method is feasible, the manufacturing time of the bolt workpiece can be reduced by at least 20%.

Qin Chuan stayed in the gun factory until the first day of the lanterns, and then returned to the inner courtyard.

His wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, etc., are all waiting for him to eat.

Qin Chuan made a mistake with a haha, and then sat down to eat.

In the evening, he thought that he was fierce and fierce, so he asked Wen Suxin to wear a red wedding dress again.

……

The next morning, Qin Chuan had breakfast and walked out of the inner courtyard with a somewhat floating pace.

As soon as he arrived at the official room, he saw Zhao Wu hurriedly running in and said, "My lord, Luo Wentian is back, and he brought back a large group of people." ”

"Huh?"

Qin Chuan frowned suspiciously.

"What a big bunch of people?"

"I think I want to buy our iron and iron pots."

"Oh...... Take them to the house on the edge of town and quarantine them, and I'll see them in the next two days. ”

"Yes."
