Section 487 Blossoming and bearing fruit

The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

The sea breeze brought a salty and wet smell, blowing the clothes and making the hunting sound. A few figures walked along the large stone-paved and cement-paved seawall.

"Wang Langzhong, this time you have traveled thousands of miles to support the Fuzhou Shipyard, and the governor is very affectionate. The shipyard has just started, and the shipwrights in the official and private workshops, as well as those craftsmen of all kinds, need to be taken care of.

Shipbuilding costs a lot, requires a lot of work, and ships also need specialized personnel, involving all aspects, which is not a simple matter.

Therefore, the Governor will dispatch capable personnel from your side to cooperate with you in management and coordination, and I hope you will cooperate happily. ”

Fuzhou Shipyard not only transferred manpower from Dengzhouwei, but also hired skilled craftsmen from all over the world, the purpose of which was to concentrate on building large ships better and faster and forming combat effectiveness, which Qin Haoming naturally attached great importance to.

After entering the working state, Qin Haoming was no longer idle, and as soon as he came back from the Mawei Shipyard, he was invited by Xu Jie to the military battle bureau on the side of Gushan.

Around the Warfare Bureau, the foot of Drum Mountain has become a village, most of which are the families of the Warfare Bureau, of course, there are some locals and a small number of displaced people.

Escorted by his own soldiers, Qin Haoming rode to the foot of Drum Mountain.

"The drainage ditch ordered by Governor Qin, hiring people here to clean up the garbage, digging wells and drawing water, these have all been done, and the people here are all singing praises for Governor Qin, and some people have set up tablets."

Xu Jie said on the side, Qin Haoming shook his head and smiled, but did not answer. There are often children running around on the road, and many of the horses are also a little tired from running today, so Suo slowed down the horses and walked slowly.

When I was about to arrive at the military battle, the scene on the side of the road changed, just like in the city, there were rows of neat and clean houses, and there were often people on the street who sprinkled and cleaned up, which was quite a bit of a look.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the smoke rose from the cooking stove in every house, and I saw many people on the roadside carrying burdens and baskets in the direction of the craftsman's workshop.

The people carrying the baskets on the side of the road were dressed in shabby clothes, and at a glance they knew that they were not the craftsmen of the War Bureau and their families, and they carried bamboo baskets and wooden barrels on the flat poles, all of which were covered with lids or covered with cotton pads.

Wang Dali and some craftsmen from the War Bureau came up halfway, and were walking with Qin Haoming, seeing Qin Du's doubts, Wang Dali explained with a smile:

"Qin Du doesn't know, the masters and helpers in our workshop have a lot of labor, and they have a family to eat at home, and they are tired of eating in the canteen when they live alone.

These local snacks taste good, you can eat them for a few pennies, and these people can also live, but it is two pennies. ”

Qin Haoming nodded, the task of the War Bureau is heavy, so he also recruits apprentices or helpers from outside to fight. However, they are not official personnel of the War Bureau, and they do not have the right to enter the workshops of the War Bureau.

Labor was paid, and they were never in arrears, and they were in heaven and earth compared to the poor people in the neighborhood who had to walk every day to find work.

After passing through the living quarters of the craftsmen, we came to the inside of the War Bureau. For the sake of safety and confidentiality, the living area and the military battle bureau are three or five miles away, and there are soldiers and soldiers of the Gushan battalion in the middle.

Seeing Qin Haoming and his party coming over on horseback, many people who came on the road avoided it in a panic, bowing their heads on the side of the road and waiting for Wang Tong and them to pass.

"Do you leave work so early?"

Qin Haoming saw that the people on both sides of the road who bowed their heads were all young and strong, and thought that the War Bureau had finished work and went home, and there would naturally be no eight-hour work system in this era, and Qin Haoming would not implement this, so he asked.

"It's not dark yet, and then the lights can still do a lot of work, so naturally I didn't get off work, Qin Du, look, these are Ding Zhuang looking for work."

Wang Dali explained with a smile.

This year's task of the Military War Bureau is very heavy, and there are often insufficient manpower, and there are a large number of laborers at the foot of Drum Mountain, so they directly recruit short-term workers on the spot.

However, the core production of firearms is very strict, and the entry must be reviewed and investigated by the Governor's Office.

Wang Dali transferred the old man to the production of firearms, and the armor task of the soldiers was also very heavy, but the secret level was not as much as that of firearms, and in the case of a shortage of manpower, it was necessary to recruit short-term workers.

There are even some short-term workers who perform well and are directly recruited into the military war bureau, these people are naturally eye-catching, and more and more young people are gathered over, but the military war bureau is all technical work, and the employment is always limited, and there are always people disappointed every day.

After listening to Wang Dali's explanation, Qin Haoming silently beat his horse and walked a few steps forward, and said:

"Director Xu, you and Wang Dali went to the baggage camp to pick people, there may be some talents needed by the Military Bureau, and the gaps picked out will be transferred from these short-term workers."

The purpose of Qin Haoming's arrangement is to select skilled talents.

Xu Jie and Wang vigorously agreed to write it down.

"Governor Qin, please inspect the War Bureau today, but it is Wang Jiangtou and the Smelting Bureau who have joined forces to give you a surprise."

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the firearms workshop in the core area of the War Bureau, Xu Jie said with a smile.

"Oh, have you already produced breech guns?"

As soon as he heard the three words of the Smelting Bureau, Qin Haoming's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.

"Uh-huh...... Xu Jie coughed embarrassedly twice, and replied a little embarrassedly, "Not yet, but they said it was soon, and now it is just possible to mechanically correct the breech." ”

"Oh, speed up, it's okay, let's see."

Xu Jie's embarrassment amused Qin Haoming himself, it seems that he was in a hurry, how long has it been, how can it be so fast.

In the firearms workshop, Xu Jie took Qin Haoming to an isolation area to watch their new achievements.

Driven by horsepower, the boring knives of the boring machine began to turn, and a dozen apprentices, under the command of the craftsmen of the Smelting Bureau, placed the gun on a base with wheels and pushed the turned boring cutter into the breech.

The metal collided, and the sound was quite harsh, but Wang Dali, who was standing beside Qin Haoming, could not hide the excitement on his face, and said loudly in his ear:

"Qin Du, after the cannon is fired, the lead ball collides in the cannon chamber, and the cannon chamber will be deformed, and the more cannons are fired, the more inaccurate the shot, so this machinery must be used to correct the cannon chamber.

This cooperation with the Metallurgical Manufacturing Bureau, both of us have benefited a lot......"

It's no wonder that Wang Dali is so excited, Daming maintains the artillery, but he wipes the inside and outside of the gun body, and then covers it with an oilcloth, so he can't think about it so finely.

That's why there is a saying that after a cannon fires more than 100 cannons, it is better to return to the furnace and recast, otherwise the cannon will be abolished, and now this method can greatly extend the use time of the artillery.

Moreover, they found that with the addition of rifling inside the artillery, the accuracy would be significantly improved.

Qin Haoming was also very happy to see this.

Isn't this the new technology that gives the craftsmen a good treatment, so that there is such innovation and improvement?

"The craftsman who came up with this idea will be rewarded!"

Qin Haoming said with a smile.
