Chapter 347 Firearms Manufacturing Bureau

"Haha, Shang Shulang, you are out of the limelight today." There is a small pavilion in the imperial garden, and there is a stone table in the pavilion, and on both sides of the table are Chen Wang and Jiang Changyin sitting opposite each other.

King Chen always speaks without a frame in private, probably thinking that this can win the hearts of his courtiers more.

Chen Baichuan did not have the slightest temper towards this future eldest brother, and he was grateful for the favor he had just received from King Chen.

"Your Majesty is tormenting me, I just got it tonight. can have this limelight, or rely on the promotion of my mentor Wu Yuqing. ”

Chen Wang had already seen the poem "Spring Dawn", and knew that Chen Baichuan was modest, so he said politely: "You don't have to be like this in front of the widow, you have this poem, which shows that Aiqing is unique." Even if you get a little fame, it is a matter of course, how can there be anything that is not lifted. ”

Jiang Changyin also participated.

"Your Majesty is right. Shang Shulang's poem made the whole spring dim. I am afraid that in the near future, the literati and artists in Chen Duzhong will not dare to write about spring. He deliberately called Chen Baichuan's official name, so as not to be too intimate in front of King Chen.

Chen Baichuan had no choice but to pretend to be shy and smile.

After a few more pleasantries, we got to the point. Chen Wang said: "Aiqing went to Anling Province this time, and he made a lot of contributions, the most important thing is to get those ingenious tools. I heard that even Kyungkook snooped on your invention? ”

"But there is such a thing." Chen Baichuan knew that King Chen's eyes were red, but he still told the truth, "Liu Tingfeng, a famous general of the Qing Army, has sent people to steal the weapons produced by Da Ling Cheng many times. ”

Chen Baichuan knew that if he wanted to make Chen Guo strong, he didn't rely on his strength alone. In this era of absolute monarchy, King Chen's support represents the investment of funds and resources.

Only with the support of King Chen can firearms and other weapons be able to achieve the full equipment of Chen's army, and the artillery can be fully equipped. Otherwise, if you want to complete this huge dream, you don't know what year and month you have to wait for.

Only by showing the power of firearms and allowing it to attract the attention of King Chen, the top investor in the whole country, can he have the opportunity to equip Chen Guo and let the roar of firearms explode all over the world.

When Chen Wang heard Chen Baichuan's words, he couldn't help but fall into surprise, and said: "What Aiqing said is all true, the widow knows what you want, and you also know what the widow is asking." ”

"The minister is sure that there is no lie. Your Majesty may not know that Liu Tingfeng actually succeeded in stealing firearms. Although they can't pose any threat to Chen Guo at present, as long as their firearms are developed and can reach the level of popularization, then the world will be Qingguo's. ”

"Are you alarmist?"

"The minister is just telling the truth."

"The widow really can't believe it, a small weapon has so much power."

After thinking for a while, Chen Baichuan said: "The minister remembers that His Majesty has personally witnessed the power of the thunder that Chen Guo's army prepared, what do you think of the power of the thunder?" ”

Chen Wang remembered the deafening sound on the training ground that day, and his heart palpitated: "That is a force beyond the reach of human beings, but that kind of weapon does not seem to be stable in the general's explanation, and there are many restrictions on its use." Otherwise, just by relying on the thunder, Qingguo has nothing to worry about. ”

Chen Baichuan wanted to say that even if he improved the thunder, it would not be enough to win Qingguo, but at this time, what he hoped for most was King Chen's performance, and he continued: "Then Your Majesty, you just need to compare it in your heart." The power of firearms is about ten times that of thunder, or even hundreds of times. Moreover, in the process of research and development, the defects of firearms have been greatly reduced. ”

"What?"

His Majesty King Chen's mouth opened wide in surprise, and even Jiang Changyin, who was beside him, was moved. Both of them have seen with their own eyes the power of the monster like the thunderbolt, and the firearm is even more powerful than the thunderbolt?

Chen Baichuan nodded quietly.

Chen Wang fell silent, and the power of firearms he got from Chen Baichuan made him feel shocked in his heart, and at the same time, he was even more afraid of Chen Baichuan. You must know that all the occasions for making firearms are now in Daling Province, and Daling Province is the place he assigned to Chen Baichuan.

If Chen Baichuan is against him, can anyone suppress him?

He couldn't get an answer in his heart, even if Chen Baili's loyalty had been convinced by him, he would not put Chen Guo's future on an untrustworthy factor. You must know that Chen Baili, the general who controls most of the lethality of Chen Guo, is Chen Baichuan's brother. The Chen family has always been a behemoth now, and now, this behemoth has another chance to rise. After they rise, will there still be the Chen royal family in their eyes?

King Chen really didn't dare to make a decision.

After the atmosphere solidified for a long time, King Chen finally spoke: "Aiqing, can you put firearms around Chen Du to make them?" ”

Chen Baichuan knew that he was guarding against himself, but he didn't have much resentment in his heart, and the whole world knew that this was a common problem of kings. It is certainly not an easy thing to ask Chen Baichuan to give up the land of Longxing.

"Your Majesty, most of the firearms in Daling Province are bulky and delicate inside, and it may not be a simple matter to transfer them to Chen Du's side. Not to mention the cost, it may also damage those equipment. ”

"This ......"

Chen Baichuan knew that he still had to give up part of the right to make firearms today, and he also had to reassure His Majesty King Chen, who was suspicious. Without waiting for King Chen to speak to him again, he first stated the arrangement.

"Your Majesty, although the Firearms Manufacturing Bureau of Daling Province cannot be transferred, Chen Du can still make gunpowder here."

"Oh? Come on. ”

"Firearms production is not a simple matter, and Daling Province alone cannot meet the needs of the army. The minister wanted to set up gunpowder production bureaus in various parts of the Chen country, with His Majesty as the director. Then the veteran firearms makers from Daling Province went to various places to make firearms. So that the entire Chen country can be activated. ”

"That's a good plan." Chen Wang didn't say anything after praising him, Chen Baichuan knew that he was thinking about the interests of this in his heart.

His Majesty King Chen is not a fool, he can see that there is still the Chen family among the beneficiaries of this plan. But unlike before, it was simply the Chen family manipulating, and now he can also get a piece of the pie.

King Chen said greedily: "How can the craftsman know the management, the widow thinks, it is better to let the officials in the production bureau send the widow." ”

Chen Baichuan agreed to King Chen's request without hesitation, because he knew that this was what he had to agree.
