"It did cause some trouble." Lu Chong smiled bitterly: "I really don't know much about architecture. ”

"Of course, I know a lot more than ordinary people, but I can't compare with people like Zhang Dake and Nansang's Dao Yunyue Master." Lu Chong did not hide his shortcomings in ability.

Jiang Yuyan appreciates his frank attitude, he is not a person who requires his subordinates to be perfect in everything. No one is perfect, and if someone acts as if he has perfect abilities, he is most likely a liar.

However, Jiang Yugang still corrected the bad points revealed by Lu Chong in his words: "Dao Yunyue is now the person of our Mang Ancient Castle, and Nansangzhai no longer exists. ”

Lu Chong was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, I almost made a big mistake, and now the entire Manggu Mountain is Manggu Castle." ”

Jiang Yuyan saw Lu Chong's appearance, and shook his head helplessly: "Don't do one thing in front of me, another thing in private, for these Luchuan locals, we must treat them as the same people as us from the bottom of our hearts." ”

"In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely choose to stay here, only by staying in Luchuan, will I have a greater chance, what about you? Are you going back to the guardhouse? Jiang Yu asked.

Lu Chong shook his head: "I don't have any relatives in the guard house again, I heard that some people with relatives also chose to stay in Luchuan after knowing that if we stay in Luchuan, we can bring our relatives back, I have achieved so much in Luchuan, how can I want to go back?" ”

He looked up at the sky: "Daddy has been diligent all his life, and he has never been in charge of so many craftsmen like me now, if he didn't come to Luchuan, there would be no me today, as long as I can stay, it is impossible for me to go back."

"So, when we stayed in Luchuan, we actually became the people of the Ming Dynasty in Luchuan, no different from these Nansang Villages and other cottage people." Jiang Yugang said: "You have to understand this matter. ”

"Hmm." Lu Chong's face became serious and nodded heavily.

"Then then again, you also think that it is a great thing that you can manage so many people now," Jiang Yugang began to mention the reform of the Alchemy Academy, which was the key to the matter.

"But now in the Alchemy Academy, most of the people's work is around the construction of the Mang Castle, you also know, this is not what you are good at, basically Zhang Dake and Dao Yunyue are mainly responsible for the affairs." Jiang Yugang continued.

A hint of relief flashed on Lu Chong's face: "Actually, I have long wanted to tell you about this matter, the current Alchemy Academy is a little out of character, and only a few people under me are really engaged in smelting and equipment production." ”

"It's also strange to manage it like this, Da Ke and Master Dao, I said that it was their leader, but I didn't want to say anything about their arrangements for the project, let alone transfer their personnel."

"Really? Actually, if you have an idea, you can come to me directly," Jiang Yuyan didn't expect Lu Chong to be so sensitive to the current situation of the Alchemy Academy, and took the initiative to give up the management of the personnel in the building part.

He further expressed his recognition of Lu Chong: "You are the person I trust the most, don't worry about me being busy with other things, if there is a situation, you can directly ask me to help you." ”

"Okay, Brother Yu." When Lu Chong heard Jiang Yu's words, he responded with some emotion, and subconsciously used the earliest title "Brother Yugang". Now the only people who will call Jiang Yu like this are probably him and Ah Tian.

"So," Jiang Yuyan took over and continued, "I plan to separate the current Alchemy Academy and turn it into three parts: first, the Alchemy Academy, which is responsible for equipment manufacturing and smelting, or you are in charge, and the uncle and nephew of the Xu family are in charge of the smelting part. ”

"In addition to this, some people were separated to be responsible for the production and maintenance of other items, such as farm tools, construction materials for camps, and other useful things, but not equipment."

"This department, I want to name it the Creation Institute, to take the meaning of manufacturing thousands of objects needed in life, Zhang Dake is the person in charge, what do you think?"

Lu Chong's eyes lit up: "It is worthy of a hundred households, and it is better to be the person in charge." He'd been running around helping, making and maintaining things, and now he finally had a proper name and a corresponding duty. ”

"I think so too, I am familiar with all kinds of crafts, and the creation of the institute is essentially to make all kinds of things that are closely related to life, and then contact and supply them to various parties that need them." Jiang Yuyan analyzed.

"If you want to establish the Creation Academy, he is very suitable for the position of the dean."

"Baihu Yingming, what about the knife master? What is he responsible for? Lu Chong sighed and asked about the arrangement of Dao Yunyue.

The best craftsmen in this Nansang Village, and even in the entire Manggu Mountain Range, left a deep impression on Lu Chong. Of course, because of the technical limitations of the cottage, Dao Yunyue has very little understanding of firearms.

After all, firearms are rare in the Luchuan area, and Dao Yunyue's ignorance of firearms cannot be said to be that he is not enthusiastic enough about technology.

According to Jiang Yu's understanding, most of the firearms used by the Luchuan army relied on the trade between Ava and Ayutthaya, and many of the firearms of Ava and Ayutthaya also came from trade with more distant regions, and they did not have much capacity to produce firearms.

Even if there is some production, it is far from being as large as the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty under the Ordnance Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry Yu Heng Qing Officials Division, the Saddle Braids Bureau under the Camp Qing Officials Division and the Military War Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Inner Government, plus the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureaus of the Guards in various border areas.

In the battle, Jiang Yugang saw that the Luchuan army rarely used firearms, and the occasional ones used were quite primitive muskets, which were not so much effective as killing enemies on the battlefield, but more deterrent to people's hearts.

However, when he had just crossed the Luchuan River, he woke up from a coma. At that time, this body happened to be hit by the projectile of the fire gun and hit the helmet, which is also quite fateful.

In addition to not knowing much about firearms, Dao Yunyue is quite proficient in the civil structure of various buildings, and the level of manufacturing of various exquisite objects is unmatched among the craftsmen of Mang Castle.

However, if for the above reasons, he was appointed as the head of the creation institute to manage the production of all kinds of objects needed for life, which would be a waste of talent.

In particular, although Jiang Yugang has a deep understanding of the history of architecture in various cultures, he is not a civil engineering or architecture major, and his knowledge of the details of real architectural design is still limited.

As a result, the restoration of modern and modern building techniques requires more efforts by these ancient craftsmen.

Jiang Yugang can provide many design ideas and inspiration, and even some building materials, but the actual construction still needs to be studied and realized by these builders in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Jiang Yugang needs more talents to participate in the restoration of construction technology, obtain experience and scientific conclusions through realistic engineering construction, and then promote the development of construction technology.

From this point of view, Dao Yunyue is the best candidate.

So Jiang Yuyan replied: "Dao Yunyue will come to be the head of another department, this department is in charge of construction, whether it is the current Mang Castle, or other buildings or roads or even water conservancy that may be in the future, this department is in charge, and I plan to name it Tiangong Academy." ”

"Manpower is superb, ingenious." Lu Chong nodded: "Tiangong Academy, it's really a good name, the construction craftsmen are managed by the knife master, and I believe it will be convincing." ”

"From the Alchemy Academy, to the Creation Academy, and the Heavenly Crafts Academy, I hope you can work together to make preparations before the war." Jiang Yuyan stopped and looked at Lu Chong seriously.

As a modern person, he traveled to the battle of Luchuan in the Ming Dynasty, and his greatest reliance was on the modern knowledge he possessed, and the main embodiment of this knowledge was the cross-era technology mastered by these craftsmen.

It can be said that all of Jiang Yu's confidence in playing a role in the war and making meritorious contributions comes from these craftsmen.

"Back to 100 households, I and more than 70 colleagues from the Alchemy Academy have the ability to make 300 to 350 bird guns and 600 to 700 new-style firecrackers by June." Lu Chong reported with confidence.

Lu Chong said this, in fact, he still hid a little bit of his own bottom, and after a few months, he also cultivated a few quite reliable subordinates, and with their help, Lu Chong secretly hid one-tenth of the bird gun and one-seventh of the fire gun in the cave where the alchemy academy was located.

Originally, the Alchemy Academy was able to produce at least 350 bird guns and 700 new-style firecrackers, and if it was calculated according to the needs of 100 households, it could leave at least 100 bird-guns and 100 new-style firecrackers as private collections.

He didn't figure out why he secretly kept these firearms, but he always felt that if he could save some, whether it was to deal with Jiang Yugang's task or to trade them, he would have some confidence to stand up.

After all, although he is now in charge of so many people and a large number of materials, he is just an ordinary craftsman, without any reputation.

As long as Jiang Yu said a word, he could be the president of the Alchemy Academy, and in the same words, he could also become nothing, like after his father died before, he was thrown into a remote and even dangerous corner and left to fend for himself.

Just like now, although many construction craftsmen are not actually under his management, these hundreds of people were originally his subordinates, but now Jiang Yu has not said a word, and they have all been transferred.

Although Jiang Yu saved him and was really not thin on him, the feeling of powerlessness in the past was really deep in the bone marrow, which made him unable to forget it for a long time, and he always had to master something to have a sense of stability in life.

Jiang Yuyan was completely unaware of Lu Chong's careful thinking and secret arrangements, and while he gave Lu Chong a lot of power, he did not have enough means of supervision.

The obedience of technical authority among the craftsmen did not have the same supervisory ability as the soldiers' democratic seminars used to elect and remove officers that were often carried out in the Ming army of Manggu Castle, so Lu Chong's power was excessive.

The establishment of the Tiangong Academy and the Creation Institute this time limited the development of Lu Chong's power to a certain extent.

After he returned to the camp, he was busy with the establishment of the Mang Castle and the consequent expansion of dozens or hundreds of times, and he was busy almost day and night without the opportunity to relax.

The intelligence department under his command theoretically has the function of supervising the inside, but because of the great pressure of external investigations, it can hardly spare the energy to supervise the inside.

Although it has begun to recruit new people, because of the relatively high threshold———— whether it is the cultural requirements of literacy and reading, or the ability to react intelligently enough, or the rules of absolute obedience to Jiang Yu's personal obedience, the expansion of the Intelligence Department is not so easy.

Although the introduction of literacy education may make the entry requirements of the Ministry of Intelligence much lower, it is still the beginning, and the development of the Ministry of Intelligence is still slower than the expansion of the power of the artisan department.

This was indeed an oversight for Jiang Yugang, he thought that Lu Chong might do something because of his unrestricted power, but he didn't expect things to come so quickly, and when the work of the Ministry of Intelligence in Mang Castle had not really begun, it caused a considerable waste of resources.

However, for these things about Lu Chong, the current Jiang Yuyan naturally doesn't know.
