Chapter 143: Ma is in charge

No one knows better than her the amount of effort and silver it took to build this furnace, so she won't pay attention to this unreasonable request, unless, it's about the same as Gao Han said.

Seeing that Liu Ru didn't buy his account, Master Ma turned around and went to Gao Han, casting such a small cannon didn't work at all, they didn't come for this kind of small cannon in the first place!

"So what do you mean?" Facing the angry Ma Chief, Gao Han felt a little funny: "Even if you cast a three-pounder cannon, it is much stronger than most of our Ming cannons!" ”

"But when we first came, the imperial court had a plan, and the Xiyi cannon purchased must not be lower than the regulation of the general's cannon, according to the conversion of our imperial court and the Yiyi system, it must be at least about ten pounds of Xiyi cannon to meet the requirements!"

Master Ma said angrily: "The imperial court spent so much silver, but it didn't want to buy a bunch of small cannons that our Ministry of Industry and the Bureau of Fabrication could make back!" ”

"That's right, the imperial court spent so much silver, it can't buy these small cannons back!" Gao Han said with a smile: "But, what does this have to do with me, do I get a tael of silver from the imperial court, I use my own stainless steel, and use the craftsmen I invited myself to make my own cannon, what does the size of this cannon have to do with the imperial court?" ”

"But you're talking about borrowing from the two Xiyi cannons we bought, and we spent a lot of money on these two cannons!" The horse master shouted.

"But these two Xiyi cannons are not mine!" Gao Han spread his hands helplessly: "If you are not satisfied, you can pull these two Xiyi cannons away, anyway, they are not mine, and they will still occupy space with me!" ”

"You, how can you be so unreasonable!" Master Ma was so angry that he was almost about to vomit blood, he had forgotten to sleep and eat these days, didn't he just want to make a Xiyi cannon that met the requirements as soon as possible, but seeing that his efforts had no effect at all, and the kind of Xiyi cannon he expected seemed unlikely to be made, he was simply angry.

In particular, he felt that he was trying to reason with this tall man and point out the inappropriate place that the other party was doing this, and the tall man was like those scoundrels in the market, and directly threw out the words "none of his business", which made him very, very crazy.

Professional things, let professional people do them.

This is the concept that Gao Han has always adhered to, he can put forward some suggestions, he can put forward some ideas that have not appeared in this world to diverge the ideas of the craftsmen, but let him directly order and interfere with how these craftsmen do it, this kind of stupid thing for the layman to command the insider, he still won't do it.

There is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, since Sun Yuanhua admires this Tang Ruowang so much, then, Gao Han instinctively thinks that what people say is right.

That's right, he also wants to build a ten-pound and twenty-pound cannon at a time, but, obviously, that's unrealistic, a thin person can eat again, and a meal can't be fat, instead of groping around, it is better to let experienced people point out shortcomings, re-accumulate experience, step by step.

Build some small cannons, after confirming that they are available, it is not without nowhere to go, a large number of small cannons can be loaded on the ship, as ship guns, in the face of a possible attack by the Portuguese Far East Fleet, it is not good for the sailors to take precautions, he can't take the idea of the sailors, but he can make strategic reserves in advance.

No matter how crazy this horse is, compared to Liaodong, Gao Han feels that the coastal area of Guangdong at this moment is the place that needs the most attention.

I don't know if the development of things was originally like this, or Gao Han felt that it was because something went wrong, in short, in his vague memory of his previous life, it seemed that the development of events at this time was slightly different from his memory.

For example, the general Kong Youde, whose origin is under the command of Mao Wenlong's general army on Phi Island, and if according to the history he remembers, Yuan Chonghuan only took office as the superintendent Ji Liao this year, and it should be a year later to kill Mao Wenlong, who had been supported in the rear of Houjin for eight years, but now Yuan Chonghuan actually killed Mao Wenlong as soon as he took office, so that Mao Wenlong's command was displaced.

For example, after Chongzhen reactivated Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan asked the court for money and food when he took office, as if the court tried its best to meet Yuan Chonghuan's requirements, but he had no impression at all about the whole thing of Liaodong's re-use of the Xiyi cannon, if he hadn't personally experienced this thing, he really didn't think that this Xiyi cannon was so different from the cannon made by the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Chonghuan's battle of fame relied on this Xiyi cannon, and at this moment, he took office in Liaodong and rebuilt the Ningjin defense line, and it seems that it is possible to attach more importance to this cannon.

Anyway, no matter what Gao Han thinks, he doesn't care about the affairs of Liaodong at all now, and he is not qualified to care, the emperor believes in him, he is very sure of this.

However, this kind of belief is definitely not the kind of belief that the country has in the dry city, it is more like the belief that the intimate and considerate person who regards himself as a confidant, this kind of belief has little to do with a person's talent and courage, to put it bluntly, as long as Gao Han is loyal, even if he has no talent, he can rely on this emperor to enjoy peace.

Directly put this matter in front of you, that is, no matter how crazy you are, even if you find the cow master of the household department to be crazy in front of Gao Han, it is useless, Liaodong side, it is not necessary to immediately need these dozen cannons to change the situation of the battle, and Gao Han can't even disrupt his rhythm of moving forward step by step for this thing that is far away.

On the Liaodong side, it is still his turn to make Gao Han famous, but if Gao Han can make achievements in dealing with the invasion of the Yi people, so that the emperor and even the court can see it, then the benefits for his development are obvious.

After sending away the main horse of the horse, Gao Han pondered, thinking about it for so long, he seemed to have inquired less about the things in the capital, and he even remembered a very famous sentence in later generations - while lowering his head to pull the cart, he also had to look up at the road.

And among the people he knew in Haojingao, if he said that he was most concerned about the situation in the capital, of course, it was none other than Qian Lianghu, but if he said that he knew the most about the recent situation in the capital, of course, there was only John Tang, who had just come from the capital.

I don't know if this soup John has time to talk to himself.

Yes That's a lot of time! When Tang Ruowang heard Gao Han's invitation, he didn't stumble at all, and came immediately.

Since he served as the chief caster of the firearms factory, he naturally arranged a place for him in the firearms factory for food and accommodation, but he was not satisfied with this arrangement, according to his meaning, it would be best if he could have his own room in the Sihai Restaurant where this tall man was stationed.
