This is not the first time Matteo Ricci has come to Xiao Ruxun's military workshop, saying that as an unrelated person, Xiao Ruxun allowed Matteo Ricci to enter his military workshop, this is not high-tech, nor is it black technology, there is nothing bad to see.

In terms of firearms, this year, the Ming Dynasty has all of them in Europe, and it is a little more advanced than the Ming Dynasty, and only Xiao Ruxun has to learn from others.

However, the rigor and formality of this military workshop made Matteo Ricci sigh more than once, and it was difficult for him to imagine that such a formal, rigorous and clean military workshop could appear in China, which does not attach importance to science and technology.

The craftsmen are responsible for the affairs of the first level, the first level is in charge of the first level, and if there is a problem, the superiors are first held accountable and then the subordinates are investigated, and sometimes the superiors are punished more severely than the subordinates.

So the superiors here are more nervous than the subordinates, and the pressure is even greater, and the Ming Ministry of Industry is completely different from the way to deal with the problem of finding a scapegoat first, something happened Xiao Ruxun's first accountability must be the craftsman in charge of this piece, and then the craftsman who specifically started the operation, Xiao Ruxun feels that an important factor in your production of defective products is that the supervision and guidance of the superior is not in place.

If the subordinate is too poor, you can see it at a glance, and if you see it, you should report to his workstation for banning, why do you still let him make so many defective products? The power of quality supervision is in your hands, and you don't care about it, you must have a problem!

Since this system has been in operation, no complaints have been received from the military for a full year.

You must know that the soldiers in the Zhennan Army under Xiao Ruxun have to conduct shooting training every day, and Xiao Ruxun is stubborn and terrible at this point, basically a year before the establishment of the military workshop, a large number of people were mobilized to find lead ore in the mountain, and when they found lead ore, they blocked it to make lead bullets, in order to provide the army with practice.

Elite soldiers, armed with well-made knives, daggers, and crossbows, suitable for small-scale mountain warfare, and a group of 100 soldiers armed with flintlock muskets were stationed here to keep the artisans safe and watch for any malfeasance.

With such a strict and standardized management, Matteo Ricci felt that it was impossible to produce defective products, with Xiao Ruxun's investment, the firepower and training of this army had long exceeded that of the Spanish army, and this battle really could not be fought, otherwise when the Ming army's overwhelming artillery hit the past, it is estimated that the Spanish army on the island can doubt life.

Matteo Ricci shook his head, followed a guard into the workshop, and entered a room, where a group of old masters were clanging iron, and grinding something, Xiao Ruxun had his back to Matteo Ricci, not knowing what he was doing.

Matteo Ricci stepped forward.

"General Xiao, I have completed your entrustment."

Xiao Ruxun did not move.

"General Xiao? What you gave me, I have done. ”

Xiao Ruxun still didn't move.

Matteo Ricci couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

Suddenly, Xiao Ruxun turned around, holding the gun in both hands, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at Matteo Ricci, and then with a pull on the trigger, Matteo Ricci was caught off guard, was startled, screamed and took a few steps back, and fell directly to the ground.

"Hahahahahaha, Mr. Leigh, I'm playing around with you, no gunpowder, no buckshot, what are you afraid of? And no one will die! ”

Xiao Ruxun looked unscrupulous and laughed.

Matteo Ricci now feels like 10,000 *** galloping through the bottom of his heart.

"General Xiao, you can't make more jokes like this, it's terrible."

With a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, Matteo Ricci patted his chest fiercely, and Xiao Ruxun stretched out his hand and pulled Matteo Ricci up.

"It just so happens that they have made a few good guns, I'll take them to see, haha, what a good gun, it has an accurate head and a powerful head, but the rate of fire is not enough, there is no suitable ammunition, it is really unacceptable, such a good gun, but it can't be used on a large scale, but you have to use the kind of gun that has no accurate head to make up the number, alas!"

Matteo Ricci couldn't help but muttered a few words - if this rifled gun could have the same rate of fire as the smoothbore gun, would there still be a need for the smoothbore gun to exist? Besides, rifling is not so easy to get, don't you have so many craftsmen to make hundreds?

"General Xiao, I have finished the things you entrusted to me, and now I will come back to you to give you my life."

Matteo Ricci couldn't help but pull the topic back to square one.

Who knew that Xiao Ruxun looked stunned.

"Entrusted? When did I entrust you with something? How did I not know? ”

Matteo Ricci had a skeptical look on his face.

Xiao Ruxun looked at him for a while before laughing.

"Tease you, don't care."

Then Xiao Ruxun walked out of the workshop and walked outside to the beautiful land of mountains and rivers.

Leaving Matteo Ricci with a sluggish look for a while, he chased out to find Xiao Ruxun.

It's only been a long time since I've seen him, why did General Xiao become like this?

When Matteo Ricci chased out, Xiao Ruxun stood outside and admired the surrounding green mountains and green waters, this workshop was built in a valley, the valley is surrounded by mountains, lush vegetation, it is a very secret place, if no one leads, basically don't think about arriving here, and don't want to go out completely when you arrive, as long as you are a person who wants to do wrong, the more than 100 secret sentinels around here are definitely not vegetarians.

It is precisely because it is very safe here, so Xiao Ruxun stood outside to watch the scenery under the protection of Ma Wei alone, and at the same time breathed a little cool air - the flat ground was too hot, and only the mountains and forests could be slightly cooler.

Matteo Ricci chased outside, and before he could speak, Xiao Ruxun spoke.

"Are the Spaniards willing to return all the Han people to Benhou?"

Xiao Ruxun's serious appearance made Matteo Ricci doubt his eyes and memories.

His memory is obviously very good, but why did he just remember Xiao Ruxun's strange appearance just now?

Shaking his head to eliminate distractions in his heart, Matteo Ricci nodded and said, "Yes, General, the Spaniards have agreed to return all the Chinese to you, you can send a ship to pick up people, they will take the initiative to cooperate with you and will not hinder you." ”

Xiao Ruxun looked back at Matteo Ricci.

"This attitude is a bit strange, Mr. Leigh, what did you say? And so they agreed? Is it because you said that Benhou would send troops to attack them, so they were afraid, so they agreed to Benhou's request? Ben Hou heard that it was impossible for the imperial court to start a war against Luzon, and without the order of the imperial court, Ben Hou could not send troops to attack Luzon privately. ”
