Li Zicheng sent Wang Zheng away, returned to the back office, and enjoyed family fun with his wife and children, but Liu Fang from the Firearms Bureau came to ask for a meeting, saying that the rifle of the Song Ministry of Culture had been delivered, and the Firearms Bureau still wanted to produce rifles?

The Song Ministry originally had four hundred gunners, and in the battle between Kadangcheng and Lin Dan Khan, most of the soldiers were killed or wounded, and the rifles were also damaged a lot.

After returning to Xining, the Song Wen Department had already resumed its original establishment under the original framework, that is, ten hundred households of soldiers and ten hundred households of auxiliary soldiers, and Song Wen himself was promoted to guerrilla general.

The Firearms Bureau has replenished the rifles of ten hundred households to the Song Ministry of Culture, and the soldiers of the Song Ministry of Culture will soon regain their combat effectiveness, and after the life-and-death battle in Kadang City, their combat effectiveness will even exceed before.

What's next?

Rifles will definitely continue to be produced, even if they don't need to be stocked up for the time being.

According to the original plan of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Office, the five infantry of the Mandate of Heaven Army should reach at least ten hundred households of soldiers to maintain the balance of the combat strength of each department, but Li Ji's department stationed in Ganzhou now has only five hundred households, and the number of rifles and soldiers must be increased.

In addition, rifles will also be worn out during training and combat, and various departments must constantly repair and replenish them.

Li Zicheng explained to Liu Fang and asked him to maintain the original production speed and continue to produce rifles.

Liu Fang also told Li Zicheng that the Firearms Bureau had produced 10 mountain cannons and various gunpowder packs of various kinds.

Li Zicheng thought about it, and ten mountain artillery pieces were distributed to Qin Danian and Song Wenbu, each of which was specially added to one artillery unit with 100 households, and the training of mountain artillery was strengthened from now on.

As for all kinds of gunpowder bags, all of them were shipped out of the Firearms Bureau and equipped to Qin Danian, Ma Youshui, and Song Wenbu.

Li Zicheng thought that each infantry of the Mandate of Heaven should be equipped with at least ten mountain artillery, so that the power of the salvo can be initially exerted in wartime, of course, this is only the first step, these mountain artillery are directly under the chief officer of the thousand households, and after each department is equipped with ten mountain artillery, the next step is to equip each thousand households and hundreds of households with mountain artillery, so as to increase the independent combat capability of each department.

In mid-December, Li Zicheng had nothing to do, so he basked in the sun at the door of his house, and by the way, he took Li Feng's brothers and sisters to play, and He Xiaomi came to report: "Dadu Governor, Wang Zheng is back, waiting to see Dadu Governor!" ”

"Wang Zheng?" Li Zicheng almost forgot about him, he went, it was more than a month, and he was a scientific and technological talent, as for his scientific and technological level, to what extent, Li Zicheng did not know, but since he got people from Xi'an to Xining, he couldn't hang it, so he said: "Let him go to the study, I'll be there later!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi agreed and turned around.

Li Zicheng was about to get up, but Li Feng didn't look at him and let him go, "Feng'er wants his father to hug him, and he wants his father to tell the story of the war......"

Li Yuxin also refused to come down on Li Zicheng's lap, "Xin'er also wants her father to hug her, and she wants her father to accompany her, and her father is the best at shaking his legs......"

Song Yulian and Xiaomei one by one, and hurriedly hugged them away, "Daddy is busy, when Daddy is free, I will play with you again!" ”

Li Feng didn't comply, struggled out of Song Yulian's arms, picked up a wooden stick seven or eight feet long, and knocked Li Zicheng on the back hard, but laughed loudly: "Giggles, Daddy was shot...... Hey, why didn't Daddy fall? ”

"Young Master Feng......" Song Yulian's face turned white with fright, and she hurriedly forcibly hugged Li Feng away.

"This little thing will definitely be the life of the military general in the future!" Li Zicheng twisted his body, caressed his back through his clothes, and then the pain disappeared.

"Zicheng, you are really, the dignified governor, in front of the child, you don't know how to be stable?" Gao Guiying glanced at Li Zicheng, but finally couldn't bear it, threw Li Song in her arms to Xiaolan, and personally helped rub it on Li Zicheng's back.

Li Zicheng smiled, "Children, let them develop by their own nature, and when they grow up, they can arrange their livelihood according to their temperament." ”

"That can't let them come to Daddy!"

"Okay, Guiying, you are in charge of the affairs at home," Li Zicheng turned around and stroked Gao Guiying's face, "I'll go meet that Wang Zheng!" He left the back office in Gao Guiying's white eyes.

When he came to Zhongya's study, Wang Zheng was already indoors, but he didn't dare to do it, and when he saw Li Zicheng, he immediately bowed to the ground, "The governor of the capital ......"

Li Zicheng was stunned, this Wang Zheng was finally willing to bow down to himself? What did he see in Xining in the past month or so?

"Mr. Wang, don't be polite, get up quickly!"

"The Grand Duke," Wang Zheng refused to get up, "under ...... Under the hope ...... Can serve the Metropolitan Governor! ”

"Serve?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Mr. Wang sit down first, let's talk slowly, millet, tea!" ”

Wang Zheng just sat down opposite Li Zicheng, but this time, he was a little embarrassed, and his face was not as cold as last time, "Is the majority governor willing to stay down?" ”

Li Zicheng didn't answer, but said with a smile: "What did Mr. Wang see in Xining during this time?" ”

"During this time, I looked carefully with my eyes," Wang Zheng arched his hand: "The people, the firearms bureau and God are not at all the same as the appearance of the imperial court!" ”

Li Zicheng picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and used the lid of the cup to drive away the floating tea leaves, "Ao, Mr. Wang, tell me, what did you see?" ”

"The people not only live and work in peace and contentment, but also support the Mandate of Heaven Army very much," Wang Zheng lowered his eyebrows and said: "To say something disrespectful, if you dare to say that the Mandate of Heaven Army is not, not only the Metropolitan Governor, but these people will probably eat ...... below."

"Haha," Li Zicheng laughed, "Mr. Wang, do you know why the people support the Mandate of Heaven Army?" ”

Wang Zheng said in a deep voice: "Just like the Metropolitan Governor said, only the Metropolitan Governor will care about the suffering of the people!" ”

"Yes, the people of the Han people are the largest obedient people in the world," Li Zicheng also smiled, and said: "You have the people in your heart, and the people will naturally have you in their hearts!" ”

Wang Zheng was silent, lowered his head and thought about it, for a long time, he couldn't stop nodding, "Dadu Governor, I understand, Dadu Governor is the one who can solve the thieves in Shaanxi!" ”

"The thieves in Shaanxi are not unsolvable," Li Zicheng said: "However, the problem of thieves has been backlogged for a long time, and the imperial court is implementing the wrong strategy, so if you want to solve it for a while," he shook his head and said, "It's difficult!" ”

"No matter what, the Grand Governor will always have a way!" Wang Zheng nodded again.

Li Zicheng said: "What did Mr. Wang see in the Firearms Bureau? Firearms? ”

Wang Zheng said: "Dadu Governor, I looked at the firearms bureau in Xining this time, not only the firearms produced are much sharper than the firearms of the imperial court, but many firearms are even more unheard of......" He let out a long sigh, "I am lonely and unheard of, and I thought I was ......" and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Mr. Wang doesn't have to be humble," Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said, "The Firearms Bureau has indeed produced a lot of sharp firearms, but this is not the merit of a single person, but the wisdom of the collective. ”

"Yes, in the Firearms Bureau, whether it is a craftsman or a worker, everyone can make the best use of their talents," Wang Zheng's eyes flashed, "I saw with my own eyes, not to mention defective products, as long as there is a flaw in a certain part or a certain procedure, the craftsmen who test it are all unrelenting, such a firearms bureau...... There will never be a defective product coming out......"

"Xining's Firearms Bureau implements an accident investigation system, and the responsibility lies with the person, if anyone produces defective products," Li Zicheng said with a pale face: "Not only must we be held accountable, but the remuneration will be deducted, and there will be no chance to enter the Firearms Bureau in the future, Mr. Wang may not know that the remuneration of the Firearms Bureau will always be much higher than that of ordinary people who farm the land!" ”

Wang Zheng didn't know the phrase "high salary # clean government", but he already vaguely felt that Xining's operating system seemed to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people and officials, and no matter who they were, they would be loyal to their posts.

How exactly did Li Zicheng do it?

What Wang Zheng didn't know, however, was that this was a natural reaction to the change of dynasty.

The old dynasty was powerless to innovate, greedy for ink, failure, infighting, etc., all negative phenomena were blatant; And the emerging dynasty, because the people get benefits, the whole body is full of energy, showing a thriving scene, even if there is a few discord, will soon be swept into the dustbin of history.

Compared with the two, it has widened the gap between the old and new dynasties!

Although Wang Zheng was born as an official eunuch, he devoted his life to research, and he was unsuccessful in the officialdom.

The "Peach Blossom Spring" he pursued happened to be met in Xining!

"Dadu Governor ......" Wang Zheng was originally a little arrogant, thinking that he was the most outstanding researcher in the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't even pay attention to Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, however, in Xining, he saw a completely different world with his own eyes, and his research level was only a pawn at most......

He faintly felt something, his chest seemed to be blocked by a boulder, but he couldn't push it away for a while, just like a person in the tunnel, who had obviously felt the presence of the sun, but couldn't find an exit for a while!

"If Mr. Wang has anything to say, you might as well say it directly!" Li Zicheng's face had a warm smile.

Looking at Li Zicheng's smiling face, Wang Zheng suddenly understood that the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army respected research talents very much, and even encouraged the emergence of talents.

This Grand Governor of the Mandate of Heaven attaches great importance to researchers, and on his face, this kind of heartfelt smile towards researchers, in the imperial court, this is unimaginable!

He came to Xining, maybe it was part of their plan, although the Mandate of Heaven also used deceptive means, but Wang Zheng had no hatred, on the contrary, he was lucky, if he didn't come to Xining, he would definitely not see all this.

No wonder......

The question in his heart no longer needs to be asked.

Wang Zheng decided to change the subject, "Governor, why is the whole of Xining full of believers of God?" ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Since Mr. Wang is a child of God, do you know who the Pope of Catholicism is?" ”

Wang Zhengqi said: "Isn't the Pope in distant Rome?" ”

"That's the European pope," Li Zicheng said lightly: "In the East, the Pontus is the pope!" ”
