[Brothers, during the new book, ask for votes and votes, they are all 5K big chapters~~~]

Ding Richang listened with great interest to Sun Fu's relays of Qin Kai's actions in the shipyard, and after listening, he couldn't help but secretly appreciate Qin Kai's unexpected approach.

"Sun Fu, Gale is really a maverick in this act, with this action, the shipmaster is worry-free, I have always wondered, why the artillery bureau can have such a result in his hands, today's events, can be seen!" He has been an official for many years, and now that he sees that he has a successor, he is naturally happy.

"Gale does have extraordinary talents, so it also requires Lord Ding's discernment!" Sun Fu's sycophant scripture began to be chanted again, and the two laughed.

At this time, someone at the door announced, saying that it was Supervisor Qin who asked to see him.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!" Ding Richang laughed, but unexpectedly, this sentence was recorded in his memoirs by Sun Fu many years later, and was repeatedly examined by later historians, "Let him come in!" ”

Since becoming the superintendent, Qin Kai began to become more and more obscene when he arrived at the governor's yamen, and today he was a little abnormal, not Huang Xing and Sun Xiang, but Zhou Ruidong and Zhang Kui, and when they arrived outside the council hall, the two students were like poles at the gate of the courtyard.

Qin Kai was holding a few things in his hand, looking like a thief, Zhang Kui saw it, and muttered in a low voice, "Ruidong, how did our instructor become so obscene when he came to Lord Liding!" ”

However, Zhou Ruidong was not interested in answering his words, and Zhang Kui felt bored and stopped squeaking.

Ding Richang naturally saw Qin Kai holding something, he knew that his love would like to tinker with new things, he had recently made a lot of money, and the collection of books in "Seeking Truth from Facts" had also skyrocketed, which made him smile all day long, he pointed to the thing in Qin Kai's hand, "Gale Wind, what new thing is in your hand?" ”

Qin Kai smiled slightly, and took out a piece of paste, "My lord, Westerners don't use tooth powder, we also use that, and there are also those who use green salt to wash teeth, this is my new zuò successful gadget, called toothpaste!" It's much more refreshing to use than tooth powder, because there are Chinese herbs like peppermint! ”

When Sun Fu heard this, he hurriedly ran over, picked up the box of things and smelled them, and sure enough, there was a breath of freshness, and he took it and gave it to Ding Richang, and the old man Ding looked at the box of things repeatedly, "Gale Wind, what else can this thing do besides brushing your teeth?" Gale, you don't bother to build cannons, what are you doing with these things......"

Qin Kai asked depressedly, no wonder this Ding Tieji couldn't cry poor all day long, he didn't have any business acumen at all, "My lord, this is a big industry, not only can you make money, but you can also feed a piece of land!" ”

"Feed a side of the land......" Ding Richang muttered this sentence and asked curiously: "Gale Wind, how many people can this feed?" ”

"A toothpaste factory, employing dozens of workers, only needs me to wholesale raw materials here, go back and add calcite powder according to the recipe to complete the production, and then package it and sell it!" Qin Kai This is a bad idea, calcite powder is calcium carbonate, how much you want on this mountain, it is a worthless thing, and he controls the topmost synthetic raw materials, these factories have become the dumping objects of Qin Kai's processing of incoming materials, helping him to do miscellaneous.

Ding Tieji heard it, how easy it is, ask for people, this is all over the street, this Fuzhou is already a rich place, but there are many people who are poor and can't eat, and there are as many laborers as there are in the surrounding counties and countryside, and there is no worry at all, "Gale Wind, the old man has also been an official in Fuzhou for four years, you helped me build this cannon, but it is a wish, hey...... This is an official for one term, and it should benefit one party, you see this matter......"

Qin Kai snickered secretly, he didn't come to set Ding Richang, this old man is good, we naturally can't be a cheater, this toothpaste industry is also a low-tech job now, and we have already settled it for you with high technology, but Ding Richang came forward to promote it, so it is naturally twice the result with half the effort.

And the sales of this toothpaste, he has already negotiated with the He family, and the He family will sell it as usual, according to the way of soap, this thing will not worry about the market, and for a long time, only our Fuzhou can produce it in the world, and foreign toothpaste can only appear in the 20th century.

The only problem is this toothpaste tube, even if it is an early tin tube, Qin Kai has no place to get raw materials. However, the wisdom of the people is infinite, and the public relations team soon found that the sealed packaging can be completed like a wooden box, and this problem is easily solved. ,

Ding Richang's eyes lit up, he is naturally not the kind of Qing official who can't be splashed with water, the current situation in the Qing Dynasty, everyone knows that this is the image of the end of the world, but people like them who read sage books and are from professional classes still have a glimmer of hope, and always look forward to prospering in this dying and decrepit empire from foreign affairs.

In this era, if it is not a person who travels through, who dares to say that he can lead the trend and do his duty, this is already Ding Richang's long-cherished wish, thinking that he has developed this big industry, and the people of Fuzhou can make a lot of profits, he is naturally very happy.

Old Ding's mind moved, and when he remembered something, his old face was flat, "Gale Wind, you won't come to talk to the old man about this for no reason today, what else is in your stomach Xiao Jiujiu Hurry up and say it......"

This old man Ding is really not easy to fool, Qin Kai smiled, "My lord, I do have one more thing I want to ask your old man to give ginseng, can you do it!" ”

Ding Richang smiled and pointed to Zhou Ruidong and Zhang Kui who were standing outside, "I just figured out the taste, it must have something to do with the soldiers you trained, Gale Wind, you also learned to train soldiers in Taixi?" These two student soldiers look like they're in good shape! …… Anyway, don't beat around the bush! ”

"My adult is really discerning, my students are also taught according to the West, training in the morning and evening, and studying during the day, but these children who will be on the boat in the future, the school has not had the opportunity to practice on the boat in the past few years...... So I want to discuss with the adults, can you give a name? Qin Kai laughed and shook out everything that should be said.

Old man Ding lowered his head and pondered for a while without thinking about his debut, and when he saw Qin Kai's calm and natural appearance, he also guessed a thing or two, "Do you want to be famous again?" This is a bit embarrassing, although the Nanyang Naval Master and the Ship Master Academy are one, Gale, don't hide it, you've thought about it, right, what name is it said as soon as possible! ”

"Master Xie," Qin Kai didn't say, but thanked the old man first, "I've thought about it, this shipmaster school is all about learning ships, and I'll set up a Nanyang training sailor here, don't you think?" ”

When Sun Fu heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Ding Richang, the old man Ding was thinking about it, he thought about it, and asked: "Gale Wind, you can't be called a sailor in this training, Lord Ding, I think the name of a Nanyang sailor training camp is enough." ”

Ding Richang naturally saw that Qin Kai intended to meddle in the water master, but the problem of the water master, this time he and Qin Kai had a discussion in Tianjin, which made him really feel a little worried, now Qin Kai wants to do something, then let him do it, provided that he doesn't ask the court to get the silver, but it seems that this is not likely to be a problem.

"Yes! Okay, Gale Wind, this naval division is not like your artillery bureau, you can start the game with tens of thousands of taels of silver, and even if I allocate an old ship from the Nanyang naval division to you for training, this naval ship will burn money, you have to be prepared! "Old man Ding is sure to make a profit anyway, Qin Kai has become a sailor, and that is also the help of the Nanyang sailor, if he doesn't practice, he won't lose.

"My lord, I also want to find some people from the sailors to teach in the training camp......

"Hmm...... Gale, do you have a fancy for Lu Han? ”

Qin Kai's heart was shocked, Old Man Ding was still very attentive to his own affairs, and the idea he buried deep in his heart was best hidden, he laughed, "Lord Mingjian, Lu Gengtang is indeed a talent, but I still want to go to the water master to have a look, at least dozens of numbers are enough, and the water master has more than 2,000 people!" ”

Ding Richang thought about it and nodded, "Okay!" Sun Fu, you can send a message to Qin Kai and ask him to go to the Nanyang Navy Division to discuss this matter with Commander Liu!"

Seeing that Ding Richang agreed to this, Qin Kai was relieved, and took out another small cardboard box, "My lord, I still have something here, and I can count on it for the military expenses of this training camp in the future, you can take a look!" ”

"What the hell? It smelled like tobacco leaves," Ding Richang took the small paper roll and looked at the yellow and shredded tobacco leaves inside.

"My lord, it's made from rolled tobacco leaves, I call this thing a cigarette," Qin Kai laughed, "This tobacco is grown in large quantities in Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, and Funing, and I have already sent people to buy it everywhere!" ”

"This thing can make money too?" Ding Richang was a little depressed, the things he was doing under his subordinates were really a little unknown, look at this toothpaste, this cigarette, toothpaste can make money, but it can be understood, what kind of thing is this cigarette! ,

Qin Kai nodded, he didn't bother to explain to Old Man Ding what the law of supply and demand was, this tobacco is now only produced in the land of Sifu, and this year, it has been purchased through the channels of the He family and the Wu family, which will immediately stimulate next year's output to rise sharply, and now this tobacco leaf is just a thing for the countryman's own use, and the price is cheap, after being processed into cigarette rolls, the profit is ...... Qin Kai would laugh when he thought about it.

Ding Richang definitely has a routine in doing things, dozens of boxes of toothpaste were sent to various yamen in Fuzhou as gifts, how many eyeliners these yamen have, the next day the whole of Fuzhou knows, this Governor Ding wants to start a toothpaste industry, and a large notice is posted at the door of the governor's yamen, announcing that the toothpaste industry was initiated by Governor Ding, aiming to seek a legitimate way to make a fortune for the people of Fuzhou.

All large and small households who are willing to do this industry only need to register in the yamen, pay a deposit according to the size of their own industry, and purchase a machine for making toothpaste and toothpaste boxes, and then the yamen will send someone to teach you to make toothpaste, and Governor Ding has promised that if you are not willing to continue to operate within three months, the yamen will recycle the machine at the original price.

The place where the notice was posted at the gate of the yamen and the gate of the city has now become a densely populated area in Fuzhou, and all the families who have some family assets are pondering this matter here.

"Brother Wang, you are also here to read Lord Ding's complaint, do you also want to do this business?"

"Governor Ding, that is a big man, I and my neighbor Liu Mazi went to the yamen yesterday to do it, and today a guy came to teach him to make toothpaste, it is said that this production of a box, can earn fifty Wen, this day with the machine qì production, at least dozens of boxes!"

The onlookers let out a cry of exclamation, and they could earn a few taels of silver a day by sitting at home, and immediately several people ran home to prepare the silver.

Of course, the sale of this toothpaste is not specified in the yamen, but the guy who teaches the making of zuò toothpaste will guide the workshop to participate, and you can entrust the He family and the Wu family in Fuzhou to sell, but it is sold first and then the payment is delivered, if the quality is not good, it will directly affect this income.

The guy will also point out the workshops to participate, which have been joined by the He family and the Wu family in the west of the city, and the Fuzhou Toothpaste Association has negotiated the purchase price and sales price of the toothpaste, and you can inquire about how to join, so as to ensure the future sales of the toothpaste produced.

But Qin Kai didn't bother to care about Ding Tieji's great cause of benefiting one party, he got the chicken feather order arrow, and immediately returned to the Artillery Bureau to convene a meeting.

Today's agenda is the preparation for the Nanyang Navy Training Camp, which was attended by cadres above the group leader of Qin Kai's class, the management of the Artillery Bureau, He Xing, He Yong, Wu Jingui, and Sun Fu and Huang Dang.

Huang Dang played a big role in the last round of the contest with Shen Songhe, and now that Qin Kai is already the supervisor of the ship master, it is justified to let him participate in specific affairs on weekdays.

Everyone knows the way this Qin supervisor does things, and he disassembles things and subcontracts them to everyone, although this way of doing things is a bit peculiar, but after so many times, he feels that it is a very good way.

"Zhou Ruidong, Zhang Kui!"

"Here!" "Here!"

"The two of you are responsible for finding out the situation of the general of the Nanyang Naval Division, I want to know all the students who studied in the United States, all the top students who graduated from the Ship Master Academy, and you can help me check these other people, I will go to Lu Han in person, if there are problems that need to be verified, you can go to him!" Three days? Is there enough time! With that, Qin Kai handed over a piece of letterhead.

Zhang Kui looked disapproving, but Zhou Ruidong thought carefully for a moment before replying: "It's enough, I want to call 20 students." ”

Qin Kai nodded, he turned his head to look at Wang Fei and Qian Qing, "Wang Fei, Qian Qing, how is the progress of the hydraulic punch?" ”

The big man Wang Fei scratched his head, "The second group is said to be almost completed, and we are still a little short on our side." ”

"Yes! Very good, is Chen Yongping, the chief of steelmaking, here? ”

"Supervisor, I'm here!" A hoarse voice next to him answered, it was a tall and thin man in his thirties.

"Wang Fei, Qian Qing, Chen Yongping, a new steel-making furnace in Guangzhou has been shipped, it is estimated that it will take three days, these two days, the old steel-making furnace you three try your best to find a way to repair, if there is a problem, you can ask the country to come forward to coordinate, what is lacking, please ask him to coordinate and solve, I hope that the two steel-making furnaces can be put into operation!" ,

In the past, Wang Fei and Qian Qing were just craftsmen under Chen Yongping, and now they are still upside down, but when they heard that Wang Fei and Qian Qing had only been in the Artillery Bureau for a few months, they had already participated in the design of the hydraulic punch, but Chen Yongping was completely confused about this, and he had no idea of being unconvinced.

The three of them discussed with each other for a moment, and nodded their heads in response.

After this matter was arranged, Qin Kai turned his head and said to Xu Guofang: "Guofang, how is the progress of the hydraulic press over there?" ”

Xu Guofang thought for a while, "The first 120-ton hydraulic press, I estimate that it can be completed in a few days, I have done the first test, found a little problem, and it can be improved in these two days, but I want to make a thousand-ton hydraulic press, we have tested the quality of the steel now, and it is very difficult!" ”

Qin Kai nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay! This first hydraulic press is to let you be familiar with the structure and principle, the problem of steel, I estimate that it can be solved in a month or two, we buy a steelmaking furnace, this money will not be in vain, after you have formed the machine, as far as possible to carry out large-scale production, can produce four or five 120-ton hydraulic presses, this is also a injection industry of our shipyard! ”

At this time, only He Xing, Wu Jingui, and Sun Fu have heard Qin Kai talk about industry, but every time it means that he is actually rich, the eyes of the three of them flashed, but they never guessed what the industry Qin Kai was talking about!

Xu Guofang will not pay attention to Qin Kai's industry, he only cares about the production of this machine tool and the improvement of the process, "My lord, you must hurry up with this iron material, there is no problem with the mass production of this small hydraulic press!" ”

"Good!" Qin Kai turned his head to Wang Fei and said: "Wang Fei, once the open-hearth furnace is operating normally, tell me as soon as possible, we must immediately put into production and trial production of new steel, and the Artillery Bureau is waiting for the rice to be put into the pot!" ”

"Supervisor, don't worry, you can't make a mistake!" Wang Fei didn't answer, but Qian Qing, the little man next to him, answered the conversation confidently.

Qin Kai glanced at Qian Qing, this kid has very few words on weekdays, not enough to listen to Xu Guofang's evaluation, and the work in his hands is very fine, he nodded at him slightly, and then turned to Wu Yun, "Old Wu, it's okay for you to promise Lord Zhongtang's 10-inch artillery here, right?" I'm counting on you to free up your hands to build new cannons! ”

Wu Yun is definitely a star-level figure of Mawei Shipbuilding now, everyone knows that the workshop he led has produced the largest caliber artillery in the Qing Dynasty, it is said that the Westerners have not yet made this caliber artillery, as soon as he heard that there is a new cannon on the horse, Wu Yun's black face immediately turned red with excitement, "My lord, no problem, now we have a good machine, the artillery can be done as long as two intermediate workers look at it, it is no problem to produce two or three guns a month, and there are only 10 artillery guns in the middle hall, which is guaranteed to be completed in advance!" ”

Qin Kai shook his hand gently, "Old Wu, don't advance it, you can supply the goods before the end of the year, now most of the Artillery Bureau's energy needs to be focused on the development of new artillery, I will discuss this with you in detail later, en...... You've got as many people as you can on your side!"

Hearing that there was another task for the development of new artillery, Wu Yun was excited again, although he was a little tired from working with Supervisor Qin, he did indeed do a great job, he nodded with confidence, "My lord, no problem!" ”

Qin Kai secretly pondered to himself, if he followed the pace of the original history, he could still obtain a stable development period of about two years, and he must use this time to cultivate his own power and improve the industrial system of Mawei, this is a battle that can only rely on his own national fortunes, in order to completely overthrow this decaying Manchu Empire, he can only slowly accumulate strength in the shadows.

But will it develop as you expected......
