Chapter Seventy-One: The Explosive Beiping Firearms General Bureau

Seeing off these two world-class geniuses, Zhu Shun got up and went to Dong'anmen Nei City to see how the Beiping Firearms General Bureau was doing.

Zhu Shun was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and as soon as he came to Dong'anmen Inner City, he saw a sea of people at the gate of the Beiping Firearms General Bureau, which blocked the water around the small half of the street.

He couldn't get in from the main entrance, so Zhu Shun went around to the back door, and the alley at the back door was also full of bureaucratic squires wearing satin cotton jackets.

There was really no way, Zhu Shun shouted to Yang Bald, who was maintaining order at the back door: "Yang Xiaoqi." ”

Yang Bald would not blink in the face of hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers, and it was tricky to encounter today's situation.

Hearing the familiar voice that wanted to go crazy, it was as if he had found a savior, and quickly asked his sergeants to open up a path.

Under the gaze of greedy eyes, Zhu Shun walked into the Beiping Firearms Bureau.

The greedy gaze of the bureaucrats and squires generally only appears when they see the female champion in "Yandu Prostitute Preface", but Zhu Shun was fortunate to enjoy it today.

When he came to the lobby, Zhu Shun felt that the waist pole of the shopkeeper Jiao was particularly upright today, and there was a feeling of raising his eyebrows.

Sun Tangqi is also a strong silly musician, and what is even more strange is that Sun Tangqi's head is wrapped in a layer of white cloth, as if his head has been broken.

The backbone came, and the shopkeeper Jiao hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea to Zhu Shun: "It's a great thing for the owner." ”

"The emperor issued a holy decree, saying that it was a national disaster, allowing every family to buy bird guns, and also listed a merit record."

"As long as the military exploits are enough, the hereditary founder will be rewarded."

Zhu Shun had long expected that Chongzhen would use his military exploits to strategically consume the Jurchens outside the city, even if Chongzhen couldn't think of this, with the intelligence of Wen Tiren and Sun Chengzong, he would definitely point out this matter.

I just don't know who said this.

Zhu Shun is preparing to open a new-style school on the day of the sting in early February, and there is less than a month to go, and he has to choose a place to open the school, and he has to compile junior high school textbooks, so he has no idle time to spend here.

Zhu Shun didn't want to delay, the bureaucrats and squires outside didn't agree, Taizu had set up an ancestral motto, and he couldn't be awarded a hereditary title if he didn't have a military merit in Sheji.

That is a few hereditary titles in the entire Ming Dynasty, and after the promulgation of this holy decree, the government and the opposition were completely crazy.

Those who like prostitutes don't go out, those who like to hold banquets don't hold them, and even the gambling house with the largest number of people in normal times is now not very crowded.

All blocked at the door of the Beiping Firearms Bureau, waiting to buy bird guns and ammunition, and finally Zhu Shun was here, where would he let him go.

Zhu Shun put down the teacup in his hand, got up and left here: "It's a pity that this matter was announced too quickly, and the West French party only had time to eat the existing inventory, and did not eat all the orders in a few months." ”

"Tell the people outside, just say that the bird guns were bought by Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, and if you want to buy bird guns, you either have to wait until next month, or go to Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua."

After the shopkeeper Jiao announced this sentence, the West French who were not welcomed in the capital immediately became the hottest sweets in the capital.

Zhu Shun returned to Wang Gong's factory and found that all the young craftsmen in Wang Gong's factory were happy, as if they had become relatives.

It's really married.

It's not easy to get married these days, because of the famine for many years, the dowry has begun to skyrocket like the price of food.

With the poor family background of these craftsmen in Wang Gongchang, at least half of them can't marry a daughter-in-law, so they can only wait until they are old to see who has a widow and find an old and decrepit widow to live for a lifetime.

Not long after Zhu Shun sat down in the public hall, more than a dozen young craftsmen came over to send invitations to Zhu Shun, hoping that their boss would go to their in-laws.

Zhu Shun still knows a lot about the lower class life in the Ming Dynasty, if their old Zhu family does not have Zhu Shun, at least three of the five sons of the third uncle will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law.

The family of these young craftsmen is not as good as the Zhu family, at least the eldest of the Zhu family is a potter, the second child has a lot of incense at the border pass, and the third is a tooth person.

Half of the parents of these dozen craftsmen are croppers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and now the taxes are heavy, and it is not easy for them to survive even if they marry a wife.

When the General Bureau of Firearms in Peiping completely gained a firm foothold, Zhu Shun carried out reforms in the Wang Gong factory, and implemented part of the nationalization reform, calculating money according to the quality and output of flintlock pistols.

In this way, the quality and production of the flintlock pistol were guaranteed, and the monthly money of each craftsman was increased to between seven and nine pieces of silver.

Supporting a family of three and marrying another wife should be no problem.

However, this reform has not yet been promulgated, how can the craftsmen of Wang Gongchang get together to marry wives, and there is no lottery in the Ming Dynasty.

The first to hand over the invitation to Zhu Shun's cronies and craftsmen said with emotion: "Since the emperor promulgated that holy decree, our young men from Wang Gongchang are now more sought-after than the young men of the Baoyuan Bureau. ”

"Don't even want a dowry now, and I'm scrambling to marry my daughter to the craftsman of our Wang Gong factory."

"The brothers have said that if there is no Beiping Firearms Bureau, it is estimated that they will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in this life."

As soon as this sentence was finished, more than a dozen young craftsmen all kowtowed solemnly in front of Zhu Shun, and left together with serious expressions, going back to hurry up and build a bird gun.

In the evening, when the shopkeeper Jiao returned home, there were a bunch of squires with gifts at the door of the house, in the past, it was the patriarch of their Jiao clan who invited these squires to dinner, and they were not qualified.

Today, there was an evil thing in front of all the Jiao clansmen, no one went to visit on the first day of the junior high school, and a bunch of squires suddenly appeared at the door of the cold and deserted Jiao shopkeeper.

They were all holding gifts in their hands and came to visit the shopkeeper Jiao.

Because the Jiao clan is the most powerful person in the whole clan, the stars stand in the middle of the squire, and their faces are full of red light: "Ten branches? Not to mention ten, it's a hundred. ”

"I told Zhao Yuanwai that Jiao Lao Liu's fart didn't dare to put one."

"Rest assured, as long as I am here, there will be as many birds as there are."

Hearing these extravagant words, the squires didn't feel anything, and they were all happy to flatter this little man who had not been too lazy to look at him in the past.

After all, he is the patriarch of Jiao's shopkeeper.

"Then the old man will thank Brother Jiao first, and in a few days, the director of the Driving Department of the Ministry of War will visit my house, and I hope that Brother Jiao can appreciate his face and accompany him together."

When the patriarch of the Jiao clan heard a director of the military department, his breathing couldn't help but stop, that was a high-ranking official of the sixth grade, and it was worth it to die if he could participate in such a banquet.

Listening to the meaning of this Zhao Yuanwai, not only to participate, but also to sit at the main table as a companion, which made the Jiao clan patriarch's surprised head a little dizzy.

"Principal? If Brother Jiao wants to appreciate his face, tomorrow a Lang Zhong from the Department of Officials will go to the old man's house, hoping that Brother Jiao can appreciate his face and accompany him together. ”
