"Tall and impressive!"

Tang Ruowang smiled a little shyly: "With my understanding of the Ming Empire, an identity like Lord Gao should be in a luxurious house in the capital, enjoying delicious food and beauties, and living the life he wants to live!" ”

"How do you know I don't want to!?" Gao Han smiled slightly.

"But you're here, in this hot and humid Ho Jing O, aren't you?"

The two looked at each other and laughed, and a good communication began to have such an atmosphere, so the next words were easy to say.

"Mr. Tang's words are very good, I heard that Mr. Tang went to Beijing before, and he stayed in Beijing quite well, right?"

"Not so well!" John Tang shook his head: "If it is wishful, where will I have time to return to Haojing Ao at this moment, but if I can get the support of the tall people, perhaps, I think my career will have a new development!" ”

"Well, support is mutual, right?" Gao Han looked at the other party: "I know what you want, but what I want, can you give it to me?" ”

"This ......" Tang Ruowang didn't dare to play this package ticket, and besides, what happened in Beijing in the past two years, he also understood that what the officials of the Ming Empire said really couldn't be believed.

"This, I remember!" He decided to avoid this question for the time being, and took out something from his arms: "This is a letter of recommendation written to me by my good friend, Lord Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, Shandong, I am very proud to have such a like-minded good friend in the Ming Empire!" ”

"Oh, Lord Sun Yuanhua's letter of recommendation for you?" Gao Han took the letter, read it, and returned the letter to the other party after reading it.

"If even Master Sun recommends you like this, it seems that I really can't keep you!" He has already made up his mind, he will never let this guy named Tang Ruowang leave, even Sun Yuanhua, a Western firearms expert who is respected by the firearms expert of the Ming Dynasty, is definitely much stronger than the Bourne in his firearms factory, if he lets such a talent go, it will not be regretted for the rest of his life.

"Say your terms and see what I can do for you!" Gao Han said: "As long as you don't violate my Ming laws, everything is easy to say!" ”

Gao Han gets a real firearms expert, while John Tong gets a promise.

This promise is that as long as he is in the service of Gao Han, Gao Han promises to support his missionary cause, and if in the future, Gao Han can have his own jurisdiction like Governor Denglai, then in his jurisdiction, Gao Han will clearly ensure the safety and legality of his missionary cause, and give him a certain amount of support.

In fact, this kind of promise is somewhat hollow, and Gao Han does not have his own jurisdiction now.

However, John agreed to such a condition. In other words, for example, Bourne, definitely did not have such a decision, because he did not know as much as John Tang about Daming.

In John Tang's concept, if these two official positions are translated, they are the senior officers of the Janissaries of His Majesty the Emperor, and the ministers of the Imperial Missions who inspect the places on behalf of the emperor.

Of course, if such a person can be developed into a parishioner, it is simply the apex of his life's glory, he feels that if he completes this challenge, it may not be impossible to become a bishop of the diocese of Beijing in the future, in the desert of the Ming Empire, the Jesus Church, there can be such an achievement, and he will definitely get enough praise from the Holy See.

As a result, the title of chief caster of the Haojingao Firearms Factory changed owners, and Bourne, who was replaced, did not have the slightest dissatisfaction.

After arriving at the firearms factory, after listening to the craftsmen led by Bourne explain the process of the last casting, and personally inspected the clay model and the finished steel, he unceremoniously pointed out Bourne's misunderstanding.

This cannon was built big from the beginning.

"It's not a matter of five-pound guns, seven-pound guns or even ten-pound guns, with such a model, these stainless steel are cast, there is a cooling problem, the bigger the cannon is built, the more this molten steel casting needs, and the amount and speed of the molten steel produced by the iron furnace on your side are limited, just so many formed molten steel, to cast such a cannon body, it needs to be divided several times, such a casting, can be successful to have a ghost!"

Seeing that everyone seemed to understand something, Tang Ruowang shook his head: "According to the output of molten steel, recalculate, see how big a cannon can be made by a furnace of molten steel, and if it is successfully cast once, then consider the others!" ”

"In that case, it would be a very complicated matter to reduce the specifications of the cannon and recalculate it!" Bourne covered his head and snorted: "The kung fu we did first was all done in vain!" ”

"What's the calculation complicated, being able to cast a qualified cannon, that's something worth considering!" John Tang unceremoniously lectured Bourne: "In St. Paul's College, there are a few monks who are good at mathematics, if they are willing to earn some extra money, you can give them the work of these calculations!" ”

It sounds like that's how things are decided, but at that time, when John Tang found out the problem and trained people here, the horse director of the military department, who had already taken charge of the firearms factory, was not here, and the tigers were napping, so he was too tired that day and found a place to sleep.

But as soon as he came back and heard such a suggestion from the firearms expert that Master Gao had found, he immediately quit.

"A furnace of molten steel, but three or five hundred catties, and a successful casting, these three hundred catties of stainless steel can make something, that's not the Franc cannon, I Ming and there is no shortage of Franc cannons, if you want these gadgets, we are full to support from the capital here, in the arsenal of the Bureau, we Ming made the Franc cannon, there is really no shortage!"

No one paid attention to him, the craftsmen of the firearms factory could quarrel with him, they could call him brothers, but his orders, but no one listened to him, they served Gao Han's rice bowl, not his rice bowl, his task in the firearms factory was to look at the two genuine Xiyi cannons bought from Siam, just don't let people damage them, as for the rest, he has the right to participate, and he really has no right to speak.

The master of this horse was also stunned, saying that he didn't know about current affairs, or that he didn't have a tendon, he actually went directly to Liu Rushi, and asked Liu Rushi to increase the output of the steelmaking furnace - don't smelt hundreds of catties and hundreds of catties at a time, try to see how many iron tools can be put in at most.

Liu Ru rolled her eyes and ignored him directly, now she is in charge of this furnace, and she is very tight about this furnace, according to what Master Ma said, it is lifeless to increase the melting capacity of iron, if this furnace can't hold up, who is it if it is broken? 17
