Perhaps because of Wang Shouye's recent fame, the official robe set by the Ministry of Rites really referred to his opinions - the colors were basically adopted, but there were some differences in other details.

Saying......

Although it is the shape set by the Ministry of Rites, it is the officials of the Ministry of Industry who come to measure the size.

Because since the 32nd year of Jiajing, the 'business' of sewing official uniforms has been transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Industry, which is said to have been facilitated by Yan Shifan, and since then, the quality of official uniforms has plummeted.

Therefore, in recent years, the business of private official uniforms has become more and more prosperous.

Of course, it also depends on which one wants to use it.

At least the quality of this batch tailored to Shanhai Jian should still be guaranteed - after all, Shanhai Jian is now a saint, and Bai Changqi, the prison is the hardcore of the Yan Party.

"Bocheng."

Wang Shouye stretched out his arms and let the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry measure his waistline, and listened to Ma Gui say on the side: "I heard that the Ministry of Industry also brought a batch of firearms this time, and I will accompany my brother to take a look after the measurement?" ”

Firearm?

After returning to Beijing from Cangzhou Mansion, Wang Shouye applied to the above to replace firearms with higher precision and greater power for the foreign guards, in case they were needed in the future.

It's just that this application is like a stone in the sea, and there has been no response for a long time.

Wang Shouye thought that this matter had been denied, but he didn't think that the Ministry of Industry had a surprise attack.

This is what he took the initiative to apply for, so he naturally has to strictly abide by it.

So after measuring the size, Wang Shouye went to the equipment warehouse in the backyard with Ma Gui.

When the two arrived, Li Rusong, who was in charge of the defense of the inner courtyard, Hu Xianzhong, who was in charge of the garrison of the outer guards, and Feng You, Hu Xianzhong's deputy, were arguing in front of the warehouse door to discuss six or seven firearms.

Seeing Wang Shouye and Ma Gui coming, Hu Xianzhong greeted with a smile: "Wang Shoubei, Ma Shoubei, this time the Ministry of Industry has made a bloody investment, if you really want to follow this shape, you don't have to be afraid of blowing up in the future." ”

Although Wang Shouye killed Kong Luopeng with a firecracker, it was purely a mistake.

If you really want to talk about the understanding of current firearms, you have to say that you are a Ma Gui who was born in the border army.

I saw him step forward and pick up a rod, first checked it with one hand, and then bent his finger on the barrel twice, then nodded and said: "Yes, it can be a pound and three or four taels if it weighs, and it is rare that the materials are piled up on the blade." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the door, the stars, and so on.

Feng You next to him pouted and said, "It's just a little heavier, I'm afraid it's really hard to control when you use it." ”

Difficult to control?

Wang Shouye glanced at his little chicken-like figure, and was relieved again.

The outer guards of Shanhai Prison are all elites in a hundred, and there is no such small and weak waste firewood, just a pound of three or four taels of weight gain, it should not be unbearable.

Wang Shouye also picked up a bird gun and looked through it, and found that except for the weight, it was basically no different from the one he brought to Cangzhou Mansion before.

But that's normal.

With less than a month of effort, how easy is it to make improvements?

It's nothing more than Seiko stacking.

"Your Excellency."

Knowing that the person who came was the most famous Wang Garrison in Shanhai Prison, and he was also the applicant for this batch of firearms, the official in charge of delivering firearms hurriedly smiled and said: "These firearms are all made by the master of the household department himself, and the amount of medicine below four coins is guaranteed not to explode!" ”

After a pause, he added: "The cost of this gun is more than two or three times more expensive than that of ordinary birds, and this is not counting the wages of the masters, that is, the mountain and sea prison, and the yamen next to it has nowhere to find it." ”

was boasting, when he heard Hu Xianzhong interrupt: "This, this is the three-eyed gun?" ”

Wang Shouye followed the prestige, and saw that he was struggling to hold a long-handled loudspeaker, with a suspicious look of life.

Wang Shouye had heard of this thing before, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

But......

This thing is more appropriate to be a rocket launcher than a firearm.

No!

Even rocket artillery is not so thick.

"It's a three-eyed gun, yes, but it's specially enlarged." The little official of the Ministry of Industry quietly glanced at Wang Shouye, and said helplessly: "We also follow the meaning of your yamen: the weight does not matter, the power must be great." ”

"It can't be that heavy!"

Feng You couldn't help but complain when he heard this: "This special mother has to have sixty or seventy pounds, right?" Usually use it to practice strength, but if you really want to carry it to the battlefield, who can use it?! ”

Before the words fell, Li Rusong discussed the three eyes, which were often thickened and thickened, padded the pad with one hand, and made an aiming posture with a weight.

That's not all, and then he stepped out of the crowd and played a set of knife techniques with the three-eyed gun at the door of the instrument store.

Seeing that after he finished the drill, he didn't grow angry and didn't change his face, Hu Xianzhong and the others were suddenly speechless.

"Ahem."

Wang Shouye cleared his throat and said with a smile: "My righteous son is born with divine power, and this three-eyed gun is specially prepared for him - you also know that what our mountain and sea prison has to face is not an ordinary enemy, and we must always prepare some killer weapons." ”

In fact, Wang Shouye hopes that the Ministry of Industry will not always make a fuss about the weight, but transform the overall structure of the musket to improve the airtightness, stability, range, and power.

However, this is not the first time that the Ministry of Industry has received this kind of request, and it is estimated that no matter how much Wang Shouye says, it may not have any effect.

Let's use it first.

After getting the unanimous approval of Ma Gui and others, Wang Shouye went to Bai Changqi to call the shots, and ordered 100 Seiko bird guns and two extra-large three-eyed guns.

In addition, because the recoil of the Seiko Bird Gun is large, the accuracy is affected, so 120 iron forks of different lengths have been specially ordered as an aid when shooting, and at the same time, it can also reduce the burden of aiming state of the Bird Gun Hand.

Sent away the people from the Ministry of Works.

Wang Shouye went to inspect the progress of breeding and alienation again—mainly to contact the people of the military department and the household department.

When he asked the Ministry of Households to provide some funds for the breeding program, the Ministry of Households flatly refused.

But for some reason, on the first day of the new year, the head of the household department took the initiative to find Bai Changqi again, saying that he could share most of the expenses.

Maybe......

I guess it was the change caused by the Imperial Council.

Speaking of the Imperial Council on October 30, the most widely spread is naturally the praise of Shanhaijian.

However, what was revealed most afterwards was the tight treasury and the news that the six ministries were arguing over various appropriations.

And this also means that the news that the Beijing officials have stopped paying money since November and only sent Lu Mi, and most of them will not be fake.

It is said that some middle- and low-level officials have already begun to join forces and are ready to go to the household department to protest on the day of pay.

Saying......

The plot of this group of officials asking for wages seems to be also in the "Ming Dynasty 1566", which also triggered the first incident of Hai Rui in the world.

However, Hai Rui is still serving as a county magistrate in the south at the moment, and it is estimated that this time he will be beyond the reach of the whip.
