"The Great Wei Military Equipment Measurement and Manufacturing Agency ......"

Reading this obscure term in his mouth, Lin Yuyang frowned at the piece in his hand.

This piece of music was sent last night, and it was piled up in the many pieces like other pieces, until Lin Yuyang, the secretary of the book, discovered it and found that this piece was unusual.

The gist of this recital is very clear, it is to implore Wei Tianzi to agree to set up another branch of the "Great Wei Military Equipment Measurement and Manufacturing Bureau" under their department, which will be used to help the War Casting Bureau share the total of up to 130,000 sets of armaments.

I remember that when he saw the contents of the chapter fold at first glance, Lin Yuyang was really a little stunned, and said in his heart, I don't know which department has such a big tone to assist the War Casting Bureau to build as many as 130,000 sets of armaments?

But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Yuyang felt a little wrong, after all, he was qualified to say this, looking at the entire Great Wei, except for the War Casting Bureau, there was only the Smelting Bureau.

He subconsciously glanced at the payment on the cover, and saw that the words "Wang Fu of the Smelting Bureau" were written on it.

To tell the truth, Lin Yuyang is the Zhongshu Order, and Wang Fu is just the bureau of the Smelting Bureau, and the rank is bigger than the Silang of the 24th Division, and the difference between the official ranks of the two is too big, to put it bluntly, Lin Yuyang doesn't know what this Wang Fu is doing.

But having said that, the name of "Wang Fu" is preceded by the word "Smelting Bureau", which makes Lin Yuyang have to be cautious.

Now in the court, who doesn't know that the smelting bureau is in charge of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su?

In other words, the petition of this Wang Fu in the chapter fold is likely to be the meaning of His Royal Highness King Su.

And once this matter involves His Royal Highness King Su, it is not for him to call the shots, in other words, this is a "more sensitive" note.

So, Lin Yuyang put this piece together. took it and came to Wei Tianzi's dragon case, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister has a piece of music here that His Majesty needs to see in person." ”

At this time, Wei Tianzi was burying his head in the case with the dragon and approving the chapter fold, and said casually when he heard the words: "Put it on the case, Lin Aiqing." ”

"Yes." Lin Yuyang respectfully folded the chapter on the dragon case, but he didn't immediately return to his seat. Seeing that Wei Tianzi continued to deal with local government affairs without raising his head, he thought about it and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this chapter is more important. ”

"Huh?" Wei Tianzi raised his head and glanced at Lin Yuyang suspiciously.

Then, he suspiciously took Wang Fu's piece of recital, and after just a glance, he realized why Lin Yuyang said that this recital was more important.

"The smelting bureau's recital? It's rare......"

muttered in his mouth, but in fact, Wei Tianzi had a faint feeling in his heart.

To know. In the past, if the Metallurgical Bureau encountered such a problem that needed to be consulted in the process of development, his son would most likely bring it up at the dinner table where he was dining together in Ningxiang Palace and ask for his opinion.

Or point directly, come directly to the Vertical Arch Hall and ask him.

As for the way of folding the book with a chapter, to be honest, there has never been a single time before.

Does this mean that his relationship with his son has become unfamiliar because of something?

『……』

Wei Tianzi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He regretted that he and his son Zhao Hongrun had a stiff quarrel with her son Zhao Hongrun over Miss Su a few days ago, no. This son has not been very close to him lately, and his previous efforts have almost been in vain.

"Tong Xian."

Wei Tianzi called.

Beside Wei Tianzi, the great eunuch Tong Xian lowered his head when he heard this, and replied respectfully: "The old slave is here." ”

"Yuan Li...... Do you still live in Suwangfu? ”

Tong Xian glanced at Wei Tianzi strangely, and replied respectfully: "Lord Yu has returned to his own 'Yiwang Mansion' in the city. ”

King Yi is the serious king of Zhao Hongrun and his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan. However, because he is Wei Tianzi's brother rather than his nephew, therefore, in informal occasions, Wei people are accustomed to calling these Wei Tianzi's brothers a certain prince, to distinguish them from Su Wang, Yong Wang and other princes.

"Oh." Wei Tianzi nodded.

In fact, his heart is like a mirror. I think that after he Zhao Hongrun moved to Suwangfu, except for his mother Shen Shufei who lived in Suwangfu for a short time, and Zhao Hongrun invited him during the housewarming banquet, he didn't mention a word about inviting him to live in the mansion for a few days.

Although Wei Tianzi, as the monarch of Wei State, it is indeed impossible for Wei Tianzi to leave the palace to live in his son's Su Wangfu for a few days, but when you are a son, even if you are polite, what is the matter?

However, Zhao Hongrun did not mention it.

A few days ago, Zhao Yuanyan, the sixth brother of Wei Tianzi, returned to Daliang, but Zhao Hongrun enthusiastically invited him to Suwang's Mansion for six days, and held a banquet every day to entertain him.

"That bad son, do you know that I am his son?!"

Wei Tianzi couldn't help but be a little jealous, jealous of the relationship between his son Zhao Hongrun and his brother Zhao Yuanyan, after all, that relationship was much deeper than the father-son relationship between him and Zhao Hongrun.

However, although Wei Tianzi was dissatisfied with this, there was nothing he could do, after all, when Zhao Hongrun and his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanli were playing together, Wei Tianzi only paid the most attention to Zhao Hongzhao, and then there were several sons who had been crowned kings, such as the crown prince, King Yong, King Xiang, King Yan, King Qing, etc., and they did not care about Zhao Hongrun and other sons who had not left the cabinet.

Planting melons and getting melons and planting beans and getting beans got beans, he didn't pay attention to Zhao Hongrun at the beginning, which caused Zhao Hongrun to be closer to his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanli than to his father, Wei Tianzi had no choice but to complain a few words in his heart.

As for Zhao Yuanyan, he can't say anything, after all, in some ways, Zhao Yuanyan is much better to Zhao Hongrun than him as a father, is it possible that Wei Tianzi can still say to his brother Zhao Yuanyan: You find a woman to have a son yourself, don't come to rob my son?

Smacking his lips with a whimsical face, Wei Tianzi spread out the smelting bureau Cheng Wangfu's recital.

After only a few cursory glances, Wei Tianzi's brows furrowed.

He could see that this piece could never have been written by Wang Fu of the Smelting Bureau, well, to be precise, it should not be Wang Fu's idea, after all, Wei Tianzi would never believe that Wang Fu had the courage to dare to compete for a job with the Military Casting Bureau, the son-like director of the Ministry of War.

Obviously. This is what his son Zhao Hongrun meant, and Wang Fu is just acting on his behalf.

"What does that bad boy want to do?"

Wei Tianzi pondered.

To be honest, sometimes for some needs, a new department is set up, which is not a big deal, and it is not necessary to close it again.

But this pattern. It is not suitable for use in the metallurgical bureau.

With Wei Tianzi's understanding of his son Zhao Hongrun, it is easy to set up a new branch office under the smelting bureau today, and if you want to close it when the time comes, I am afraid it will not be a simple matter.

Obviously, his son is trying to meddle in the creation of weapons, so he asked Wang Fu to write a letter, and if he wants to close this department in the future, how easy is it?

However, the name "Great Wei Army-style Equipment Measurement and Manufacturing Agency". It is inevitable that Wei Tianzi will be a little concerned about it.

"Military ...... Quantity ...... Quantity manufacturing?'

Wei Tianzi couldn't help but think of the kind of molds for mass production of candles that the Metallurgical Bureau had made a while ago, and it was only ten large molds, and if the output of candles was produced endlessly for twelve hours a day, it would almost crush the many, large and small candle workshops in China.

Who would have thought that this would happen before that?

"Could it be that weapons and iron armor can be mass-produced like those candles?"

Thinking of this, Wei Tianzi couldn't help but feel a little moved.

To know. In the past, the Wei State maintained a permanent army of about 80,000, unlike the Chu State, which often had hundreds of thousands of troops. In addition to the problem of the source of soldiers, the main thing is that it is limited by armaments, after all, weapons and armor will wear and tear, and they must also be replaced, and it is impossible to ask a soldier to use a weapon to death.

It's not that the mass production of armaments in the Ordnance Casting Bureau is insufficient, to be precise. It should be a local time when the production is insufficient.

For example, the armament of the six battalions of the garrison is replaced every two years, but in fact, the War Casting Bureau only has one year of forging weapons and equipment, and the other year. It is stockpiling wrought iron.

Some people may ask, why not ask the War Casting Bureau to continuously cast weapons and equipment, so that the output of armaments can be doubled?

But in fact it doesn't work.

After all, what the War Casting Bureau built was the armament of the sixth battalion of the garrison, and it was the weapons and equipment used to arm the most elite army of the Great Wei, which meant that these weapons and equipment must be the best quality of the Great Wei at present.

If the previous year the Bureau of War Casting created a batch of weapons and equipment, but the next year the Bureau of Smelting suddenly improved sharper and stronger weapons, wouldn't this mean that all the investment of the Bureau of War Casting in the previous year was in vain?

The sixth battalion of the garrison, who is not willing to take more advanced weapons and equipment? Who wants to take those who are eliminated?

Although the Smelting Bureau has not made improvements to the current weapons for several years, this rule has not been broken, after all, no one can say whether the Smelting Bureau will suddenly come up with more advanced weapons.

It is for this reason that the War Casting Bureau was idle to death in the previous year, but the next year it was so busy that it almost went crazy.

But now the word "quantity manufacturing" has made Wei Tianzi realize that the Smelting Bureau may have made some progress.

This is undeniably a good thing, after all, sometimes explosive short-term production is more important, such as when a large-scale war breaks out on the front line and a large number of new troops need to be urgently recruited.

If you forge weapons slowly and leisurely like the Soldier Casting Bureau, if you don't have weapons reserves, won't you lose the battle situation on the front line?

However, if the Smelting Bureau really mastered the process of mass production of weapons, it would mean that Wei did not need to store additional weapons, and in order to cope with unpredictable wars, a large number of weapons were piled up in the arsenal and rusted.

The only problem is that once the Smelting Bureau intervenes in the construction of weapons, it may be difficult to maintain the current situation of well water not invading river water in the future.

I have to say that this piece is indeed "sensitive", and even Wei Tianzi has been slow to make a decision.

After pondering for half an hour, he put pen to paper and made a comment on this recital: Yes!

On June 8, the 17th year of Hongde, in order to assist the Ordnance Casting Bureau in building the batch of weapons and equipment of up to 130,000, the "Great Wei Military Equipment Measurement and Manufacturing Administration" under the name of the Smelting Bureau was urgently established, referred to as the "Military Manufacturing Bureau".

When this news spread throughout the DPRK and China, Li Jin, the director of the War Casting Bureau, looked particularly ugly, because he knew that from now on, the Smelting Bureau would inevitably intervene in the fat shortage of building military-style weapons and equipment to compete with them for meat to eat.

But the bad thing is that Zhao Hongrun saw the opportunity to set up the "Military Construction Bureau", but the Military Casting Bureau was unable to protest, after all, nominally speaking, the Metallurgical Construction Bureau was to help them build this huge batch of armaments, and this new agency was set up.

In this regard, Li Man, the secretary of the military department, sighed.

Think about it, let a research and development institution of the Smelting Bureau get the permission to build ordnance, you can imagine the situation of the Ordnance Bureau in the future. (To be continued.) )
