Zhu Zhanji ate happily, Queen Xu helped to pick up the vegetables, and from time to time she pinched his little face and said slow down, no one will rob you, Zhu Zhanji is a big ghost, and his mouth is full of meat and vegetables and muttered that there is no one now, maybe someone will come to grab it later.

Zhu Di accompanied his grandson to eat a little more.

Looking at his wife and grandson, Zhu Di took a sip of wine, was stunned when he heard this, and asked Zhu Zhanji with a strange expression, "Who will rob you?" ”

Zhu Zhanji doesn't even want to think about it, Baoqing.

Zhu Di let out a long sigh.

OK.

I almost thought that this little guy was a "spy" sent by the boss.

What to grab?

Of course, it is to rob the prince and the son of heaven.

……

……

For the next few days, there was no wind, rain or sunshine.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, ten thousand families are reunited.

The Yellow Mansion is filled with the atmosphere of parting, tonight in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon is like a plate, but the day after tomorrow, the officials of the Yellow Mansion will follow His Majesty to the northern Shuntian City.

At this moment, the moon has hung in the eastern sky, but the big officials have not returned.

He went to the Ordnance Supervisor this morning, and it is said that he had been staying with Hong Jilai, who had been filling the vacancy of the Armament Supervisor, and exchanged experiences on the production of firecrackers and artillery—the craftsmanship of the firecrackers had been improved from the Annan side, and the same was true for artillery.

But the artillery of the Ming Dynasty was actually imitated, and the earliest artillery came from overseas.

So there's room for improvement.

According to Dusk's personal concept, firearms will gradually become the conventional weapons of the Ming Xiongshi, not just the Shenji Battalion, so Dusk has to discuss the process with Hong Jilai.

After solving various problems, we will strive to be able to mass-produce enough to equip hundreds of thousands of heroes.

It's just equipped.

In the later period, the ordnance superintendent must also keep up with the loss of firearms caused by combat injury reduction and non-combat reduction, and at the same time, the ordnance superintendent must also study and improve the maintenance of firearms.

In the early Ming Dynasty, firearms were regarded as treasures, why didn't they pay attention to them in the later period?

It's because of maintenance problems.

Because of the lack of a series of maintenance, complete and scientific processes, the firearms manufactured in the early and early Ming Dynasty had a very high explosion rate in the later period, and in this case, the court did not pay so much attention to firearms.

The king of the late Ming Dynasty cannot be blamed, but he was really limited by the level of social science.

In fact, it was not only Dusk and the young superintendent of the ordnance superintendent Hong Jilai who stayed in the ordnance superintendent for a day today, but also the ordnance superintendent Zheng and the superintendent, as well as a special person.

Zhu Di.

Zhu Di also stayed in the ordnance prison for a day today, he wanted to leave a long time ago, but he was persuaded by Dusk with words, without him, Dusk said a word: Your Majesty doesn't want to let Master Da Ming Xiong have a firearm in his hands?

One firebolt in each hand!

Just thinking about it, Zhu Di felt very excited, so he stayed in the ordnance prison according to his temperament, listening to Hong Jilai and Dusk talking about professional terms that he didn't understand, and he didn't know how to do it.

When the professional matters were finished, it was already twilight.

At dusk, he invited Hong Jilai, the ordnance supervisor Zheng, and the superintendent to the meeting room, and invited Zhu Di over, and then said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the improvement of firearms on the side of the ordnance supervisor has been perfected, and the current batch production of firearms can also be put into use, and then the ordnance supervisor needs a larger scale of mass production of firearms." ”

Zhu Di secretly had a headache.

This requires a lot of copper and iron resources and money.

He asked, "Isn't one Divine Machine Battalion enough?" ”

Dusk is a matter of course, "Of course it's not enough, what we need is not a Shenji battalion, it's five, ten, a hundred, and even all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, all of whom have firearms." ”

Zhu Di gasped, and began to think that Dusk was just talking, but he didn't expect that he really wanted to do it.

But he also cheered up: "What do you need me to do?" ”

Dusk muttered for a long time, "First of all, we need to take Annan, and use Annan's cheap labor to mine ore and smelt copper and iron as much as possible, and the matter of sending troops to Annan must be put on the agenda." ”

Zhu Di bowed, "Then I'll urge the military department and ask them to organize troops to escort Chen Tianping back to China within ten days." ”

Sending troops to Annan needs a reason.

Then sending Chen Tianping back to China is a good point to promote the outbreak of contradictions in Annan.

Dusk knew this, once Chen Tianping returned to China, it would be a foregone conclusion to send troops to Annan, so he didn't worry about this problem, and said: "There is another problem, the ordnance superintendent will create hundreds of thousands of firearms in the next few years or even decades, which is an incomparably huge project, and the ordnance superintendent is currently limited to the household department, the military department and the ministry of industry, which is not conducive to the operation of the ordnance superintendent, so Weichen thinks that the ordnance superintendent should be independent, and expand the scale, and at the same time improve the status of the ordnance superintendent, and the six departments should be at the same level." ”

This is simply appalling.

One level of the Ordnance Supervisor and the Six Divisions?

It's a fantasy.

This has never happened since ancient times.

Zhu Di froze there for a while.

If Zhu Di adopts Dusk's suggestion, it means that the three of them will be on the rise, and the supervisor and the supervisor will be the second-grade or third-grade officers, and the young eunuch Hong Jilai will also leap into the dragon gate.

Zhu Di said slowly: "Tell me what you think." ”

Dusk didn't think about it, he had been brewing this matter in his heart for a long time, and it was not until today that he was sure that the ordnance supervisor was already capable of mass-producing firearms, so he dared to leave Zhu Di behind...... No, the level of the division is still low, the supervision should be abolished, the ordnance supervision is changed to the ordnance institute, the household finance is directly transferred to the ordnance institute, without going through the military department, all the craftsmen and talents of the ordnance institute are independently formulated by the ordnance institute, not under the jurisdiction of the household department, the ordnance institute set up a department in the country, and establish the research and development and production plant of the ordnance, in addition, the ordnance institute can recruit a large number of workers on its own, and is not subject to the restrictions of the ministry of industry. At the same time, the copper and iron resources required by the ordnance superintendent can be reviewed by the household department, but it cannot be decided, and it should be decided by His Majesty himself. ”

After this operation, the Ordnance Institute is an independent department.

Although the five temples and nine prisons originally had a sense of independence, after such a reform as dusk, the status of the ordnance prison will far exceed that of other temple supervisors, comparable to the six departments.

Zhu Di listened for a while.

This is equivalent to reform, not something that can be decided by oneself in a word, and it is necessary to gather all the important ministers of the six ministries, five temples and nine prisons together to discuss.

After a long pause, "I still need to think about this matter. ”

At dusk, while the iron was hot, he immediately said enthusiastically: "Your Majesty had better decide before setting off for Suncheon, it is best that the will of tomorrow can reach all departments, and the official documents of the day after tomorrow can set off to all parts of the country to announce to the world." lest after the crown prince joined the country, the matter was dragged down by some conservative courtiers in the court, and finally it was closed. ”

Zhu Di nodded, "I know." ”

Dusk took a deep breath, "If the ordnance superintendent is removed and the institute is set up, there is still the current ordnance superintendent who is in charge of the overall situation, and the superintendent Hong Jilai should have the absolute right to speak." ”

As soon as these words came out, Hong Jilai almost burst into tears.

Bosom friend!

Dusk is the person he has met the most confidant in his life, because he knows that only when he has the absolute right to speak in the Ordnance Prison can he create the kind of steel bullet artillery that he depicts for himself and yearns for!

The Ordnance Supervisor and the Supervisor are also grateful to Dade and are not jealous of Hong Jilai, if this matter is implemented, they will also become members of the court like the Six Shangshu and glorify their ancestors.
