Chapter 274: Capital Ordnance Supervisor

Inside the palace, Li Shi ordered his guards to put on camouflage clothes and hide in the garden, and then Li Shi himself walked closer, looked back and forth, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "This camouflage suit really does not disgrace its name." People wear this, I am so close, I still need to look carefully to see. If you are a little distracted, you will have to look for a long time. ”

"Your Majesty, there are several kinds of this camouflage suit, which can be chosen according to different environments." Wei Renshi said to Li Shi: "If you are in the mountains and forests, you will wear this camouflage suit, and if you change to someone who has no trees around, you will become an earthy yellow cloth strip and crawl in the soil to camouflage." The advantage of this camouflage suit is that it can be modified according to the appearance of the combat environment. And the cost is low, easy to make. ”

Li Shi nodded and said, "This kind of camouflage suit can be done more and promoted in the Shence Army first." ”

"Yes." Cui Heng, who was the young government supervisor at the time, bowed and replied.

Li Shi looked at him and said, "Cui Qing, do you know what he means?" ”

Cui Heng hesitated for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty wants to order the ministers to preside over the military supervision of the capital, secretly make this kind of camouflage suit, and have the telescope that can see far away?" ”

Li Shi nodded and said, "Cui Qing is a smart person, and he is also a person I can trust. It is okay for the Northern Capital Ordnance Supervisor to make some ordinary weapons now, but if it is such a confidential thing, it cannot be kept secret. Therefore, I have a new group of Beijing Ordnance Supervisors. The only people who know about this capital weapons supervisor at the moment are me, the prince, Du Qing, Wei Qing, and Cui Qing. In the future, the ministers and craftsmen in the capital's ordnance prison ...... All the people who are involved with it can only be people who are absolutely loyal to the imperial court, and have no connection with the courtiers, feudal towns, and eunuchs of today. It was a place of absolute secrecy, guarded by the palace guards, and everything in it was not to be passed on to the outside world unless the emperor himself instructed it. ”

Cui Heng was overjoyed in his heart, this is really the emperor's secret, such a secret yamen, such a position in charge of the confidential yamen, this is really a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

Although Cui Heng was happy in his heart, there was no trace of expression on his face, and he bowed solemnly with a solemn face: "The minister understands!" Your Majesty, please rest assured! ”

Wei Renshi looked at him on the side, and said in his heart that this was one of the "Eight Dragons". The allusion of this "Eight Dragons" is Cui Hui's father, Cui Hui's father Cui Ying had eight sons, all of whom became high-ranking officials, and people at that time compared him to the Xun family of the Han Dynasty, and called his eight sons "Eight Dragons".

This Cui Heng is also a bull figure, and it should not be difficult to manage the capital weapons supervisor in the original history.

This ordnance supervisor is one of the five superintendents of the nine temples, Tang Wude had a weapons superintendent in the early years, and then repeatedly abolished, three years after the opening of the Yuan Dynasty, and reinstated the ordnance superintendent, subordinate to the Shaofu superintendent. Later, it was moved to the Northern Capital, called the Northern Capital Weapons Supervisor.

Now that there is a Beijing Ordnance Supervisor, this is also reasonable, and it can barely be regarded as a system to follow.

"As for Wei Qing, I still have other things that Wei Qing needs to do, so although this capital weapons supervisor came out because of Wei Qing, Wei Qing can ignore the common things. Wei Qing is regarded as a military inspector of the school. If Cui Qing usually has any questions, he should ask Wei Qing more. Li Shi said again.

The two saluted in unison and said in unison: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Li Shi nodded, and then ordered: "The first thing Cui Qing has to do is to set up two assembly lines and make a large number of binoculars and camouflage suits to ensure that they are enough for the Shence Army and Jin Wuwei. Naturally, how these things are made must be kept in absolute secrecy. ”

"Assemblies?" Cui Heng was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the nouns in Li Shi's mouth.

"Let Wei Qing explain it to you specifically!" Li Shi waved his hand and said, "I'm a little tired, I need to rest for a while." ”

Wei Renshi and Cui Heng left the palace together, and the two walked out of the city under the guidance of Li Shi's trusted guards.

On the way, Wei Renshi gave Cui Heng what a standardized assembly line is, and also said that he would help Cui Heng establish it together.

In fact, to set up a production line, the first thing to do at present is standardization. Today's units of measurement are too crude and not refined enough, so a new set of units of measurement must be unified in the capital's ordnance superintendent.

The guards took the two out of Chang'an City and came to a hidden valley, the area in the valley is not small, very open, there are many traces of artificial digging, it should not be such a large area, and then after manual digging, until it touches the mountain, the area is expanded to such a large area.

As a result, the valley is flanked by steep, near-vertical rock walls with scorch marks that presumably burned the vegetation on the rock walls, and one side of the rock wall was used to climb. As a result, it is impossible to descend from the stone walls on both sides of the valley or leave the valley.

There were a lot of guards in Taniguchi who were heavily guarded, and the guards actually took out a letter and handed it to the guards, and after those guards read Li Shi's handwritten letter, they stepped forward to recognize Wei Renshi and Cui Heng, and put the two in.

The camp inside looked a bit like the army, and the two walked back for a long time before they reached the bottom. The bottom of the valley is also heavily guarded, and after crossing the layers of guards, there is a mountain stream flying turbulently.

"This water can be brought in." Wei Renshi said to Cui Heng: "There are many things, if you have the power of water to promote, you can save a lot of manpower." ”

"It's heavily guarded, with cliffs on both sides, and mountain streams at the back, so if anyone wants to sneak in, it's impossible." Cui Heng said.

"Technology is such a thing, and I am most afraid of internal thieves." Wei Renshi said: "These guards were all selected by His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so there should be no need to worry about loyalty." However, the craftsmen who are included here must be strictly screened. After screening, ideological and political education should also be conducted. Those who have a family must register together with their family and arrange their family to a place specially designated by the imperial court, and the imperial court will provide houses and fields for living in. In case someone uses their family to force them to divulge secrets, it is also to be used as a hostage. ”

"Ideological and political education?" Cui Heng heard another word that he didn't understand.

"It's brainwashing, so that they only have dedication and loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and the court in their minds, even if they face coercion and temptation, they won't have other thoughts." Wei Renshi said.

Cui Heng opened his mouth in surprise: "This ...... Can it be done? ”

Wei Renshi smiled and said, "These methods will be taught to Cui Shaofu in the future, and Cui Shaofu will know when the time comes." ”

Cui Heng nodded and said, "Your Majesty said that this place is specialized in improving and new systems, and creating military equipment and equipment, so if this is the case, then this secrecy should be done to the extent that it should be done." If there is such a way, then I will learn it by heart! ”
