"Ah......" Song Wen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "The Metropolitan Governor is really calculating, not only reducing the payment of the reward, but also not losing his trust in the soldiers, those Mongolian and Salar women, who have lived in the Han land for many years, should also make some contributions...... You can't keep them for nothing......"

"Hahaha......" Li Zicheng also laughed!

"Governor, my subordinates understand!" Song Wen suddenly patted his head, "When the Metropolitan Governor set up the Fruit Building, he thought of today's ......."

"What do you say? You can't talk nonsense about this matter......" Li Zicheng didn't answer truthfully, just laughed.

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

The two of them laughed like foxes, and the women in the fruit building were the prey in their eyes.

When leaving the barracks, Li Zicheng pondered all the way, it is best to have a detailed charter for military merits, what kind of military merits the soldiers will make in the future, what amount of pension is needed, it is best to know at a glance, compared with the law, no one has anything to say, now there is a basic agreement, only the clerks of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will spend these agreements on paper and publicize them widely within the Mandate of Heaven Army.

However, he quickly denied that not only did the Metropolitan Governorate lack experienced documents, but there were also two key problems that could not be solved: first, it was difficult to complete a very complex law like this at once, and it had to be tested by many battles before it could be gradually refined; Second, it is difficult to fix the silver income of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, in case after a certain battle, the silver cannot be cashed out, will the soldiers have psychological fluctuations because of this?

The soldiers need to support their families, if there is an occasional shortage of silver, the officers do the work, maybe it is better to say, if there are too many times, the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion will not become another Ming court?

It seems that the documents on military merits need to be sorted out and perfected gradually, but they cannot be put into practice yet!

Thinking like this, he raised his head suddenly, and he didn't realize that it was already the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Shen Dao happened to be standing in front of the mansion door waiting, it seemed that he had already received the message.

Li Zicheng returned triumphantly from Guguan last time, causing Liang Wencheng and Shen Dao to wait in the night wind, he later criticized them, and returned to Xining by himself in the future, even if he returned victoriously, he should not engage in a welcoming ceremony, everyone has their own affairs at hand.

So this time when he came back from Kadang City, the Dadu Governor's Mansion and Xining Mansion did not arrange a welcome ceremony, but Shen Dao worked in the front office of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, greeted Li Zicheng by the way, and orally reported the affairs of the Military Affairs Department.

This time to fight in Kadang City, Li Zicheng did not leave Xining for a long time, and there were not many important things, it was all some routine work, Li Zicheng was not in a hurry to express his position, but asked Shen Dao to approve the military merits of the battle of Kadang City, at the same time, the Song Wenbu casualties were too heavy, and basically lost its combat capability, so the soldiers were replenished as soon as possible, and the establishment was expanded to two thousand households first.

In addition, Li Guo's 2,000th household already has a thousand households, but there are no auxiliaries in the army as a supplement, and there must be enough auxiliary soldiers from 1,000 households, taking advantage of Li Guo's opportunity in Xining, so that the auxiliaries can seize the time to train equestrians.

When Li Zicheng returned to the back office, the women came to greet him as usual, Yingying Yanyan, plus Li Feng, Li Yuxin, and Li Song, the back office was not lively.

Chen Qiudie hung on Li Zicheng's neck, and actually sniffed around Li Zicheng's body like a police dog, "Look at the Dadu Governor these days, whether he is close to a Mongolian woman......

All the women laughed, but Song Yulian rolled her eyes angrily, "Girl, the Metropolitan Governor has returned from afar, and you still don't let the Metropolitan Governor have a good rest?" ”

Li Zicheng twisted Chen Qiudie's face, "The governor of Pontus hasn't been close to women for so long, I see that I have eaten you tonight......"

"As long as the Metropolitan Governor doesn't bring back a woman of another race, the maid will not let the Metropolitan Governor bully ...... at night" Chen Qiudie was open-mouthed, and offended Tian Fen with one sentence, in front of Li Zicheng, she didn't dare to attack, she only secretly stomped her little feet with hatred.

She had the intention to pull Li Zicheng closer to her bedroom at night, but she didn't allow it, she subconsciously touched her belly, where she was pregnant with Li Zicheng's child......

Mu Sirong was also in the greeting team, she accepted the lesson of the last time, Li Zicheng and his wife talked at night, she didn't dare to interject, she just hid behind the most stable Gao Guiying, both envious and shy......

It's only noon, Li Zicheng hasn't eaten yet, Song Yulian is busy preparing two side dishes and accompanying Li Zicheng to eat.

Li Zicheng was a little tired after a long run, so he was going to take a rest, but after all, he couldn't help it, cleaned up, and immediately rushed to the Firearms Bureau.

Liu Fang, Tang Jin, and Zhao Jiacai are all here, except for Tang Ruowang, they are already the most elite firearms research and development experts of the Heavenly Mandate Army, Liu Fang was originally a firearms craftsman, and now he is now the director of the Firearms Bureau, and has participated in the research and development of howitzers, Tang Jin and Zhao Jiacai are from Xining High School, and they are the first generation of artillery research and development personnel trained by the Heavenly Mandate Army themselves.

Seeing Li Zicheng, the three of them hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Governor! ”

"Get up!" Li Zicheng sat down on the main seat and said with a smile: "A few of you, now you are experts in the R&D department, what are you busy with on weekdays?" ”

Liu Fang, director of the Firearms Bureau, personally served tea to Li Zicheng, and said: "My subordinates ...... on weekdays The subordinates thought about improving the artillery, and last time the governor said that although the howitzer was powerful, it was too bulky and extremely inconvenient to transport, so the subordinates thought about developing a small artillery......"

"Oh," said Li Zicheng, who was coming for the matter, "is there any progress?" ”

Liu Fang was silent, Tang Jin scratched the back of his head, and smiled: "Grass people...... At present, there is no clue, and the grass people are not sure how small it will be......"

The howitzer is a masterpiece of the next hundred years later, to improve it, naturally there is some difficulty, now not only the research manpower is insufficient, the time is not allowed, however, Li Zicheng does not blame, can think of the artillery miniaturization, it is already rare, to a certain extent, the direction of the research, more important than the research itself.

He took out a stack of drawings from his arms and put them on the square table in front of him, "Liu Fang, Tang Jin, Jiacai, how do you look at this kind of artillery?" ”

Liu Fangzheng was about to stretch out his hand, Tang Jin had already snatched it over, unfolded the drawing, and the three of them surrounded the drawing, and the six eyes were fixed on the drawing, and after a while, they were arguing about the data on the drawing.

Li Zicheng drank tea by himself, and did not speak, the discussion and debate on science and technology is a matter of no longer a regulation, "small doubts and small advances, big doubts and big advances", this sentence is used in science, perhaps more accurately.

This is a drawing carefully screened by Li Zicheng long ago, derived from the mountain cannon of later generations, 12 times the caliber, the diameter of the barrel is 80 mm, the maximum firing range is 3,000 meters, and the killing radius is 2 meters.

On the square table in the R&D room, there were two heavens for a while, Li Zicheng drank a pot of tea and added another pot; On the other side, Liu Fang, Tang Jin, and Zhao Jiacai only had the drawings in their eyes, and they forgot that the Metropolitan Governor was sitting alone.

Li Zicheng waited for the three of them to argue about it, and Fang said lightly: "How about it, can this kind of artillery be produced?" ”

"This ......" Liu Fang's mind was still immersed in the argument just now, and after a while, he came to his senses, "Dadudu, there are currently two difficulties in producing this kind of artillery, one is the flowering shell, and the device is relatively sophisticated; The second is the copper barrel, the smaller the gun, the higher the requirements for the barrel, I don't know if the copper tube produced now is strong enough. ”

"There should be no problem with flowering shells, as long as there is enough time," Tang Jin whispered: "Xining rifles that are smaller than this flowering shells, howitzers that are already larger, are all flowering shells, and there is no reason why the flowering shells of this kind of artillery cannot be produced." ”

Li Zicheng nodded slightly, Tang Jin was reasonable, the success of the Xining rifle and howitzer provided a reference for the research and development of this mountain artillery, "What about the barrel, is there any way to solve it?" ”

All three shook their heads, apparently not thinking of anything good yet.

Li Zicheng said: "If the texture of red copper is too soft, you can consider using steel. ”

"Steel?" Tang Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, how could the Metropolitan Governor think of using steel? And ...... for yourself However, he soon understood that this kind of artillery was originally designed by the Grand Governor, and his own people were like blind people, scurrying around on the road of research and development, and the Grand Governor was troubled by military and political affairs on the one hand, and on the other hand, he could easily design this kind of miniaturized artillery, if the Grand Governor was liberated from busy affairs......

He looked at Li Zicheng's eyes, which were obviously much brighter than before.

Li Zicheng secretly called "ashamed", he was not good at science and technology, and he was not the "Du Niang" of later generations who had been secretly helping? But he has already established the name of "science and technology giant" among the military, political, scientific and technological personnel and ordinary people in Xining, and now he can't get rid of it if he wants to. ”

Liu Fang nodded silently, "Metropolitan Governor, then it will take more time!" ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "I don't give you a preset schedule, you can test it repeatedly, but you also have to ensure that the artillery produced basically meets the requirements, and there can be no problems in quality. ”

"Yes, Grand Duke, we will never play with the lives of the soldiers in front of us!" The three of them answered in unison.

Li Zicheng nodded slightly, in terms of science and technology, it is indeed impossible to be sloppy, the three of them know the impact of artillery on the battle itself, and even the lives of the soldiers, so they naturally dare not make a mistake.

He smiled faintly and said, "There is one more thing, can you gather the gunpowder and make a gunpowder bag?" Li Zicheng couldn't figure out what materials were used to wrap the gunpowder pack, and even directly make grenades for later generations, he just said his own ideas, and had specific requirements for the gunpowder bag, so he left these problems to these experts in the Firearms Bureau.

Back in the back office, Li Zicheng slept beautifully, and when he woke up the next day, he was alive again.
