Chapter Twenty-Eight: Chen Ding's Dedication
Ding Shoutie's eyes lit up when he saw Ziren when he saw this, and he knew that this thing was just the same as his general's appetite, so he hurriedly handed it over with both hands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When firing with a trigger, these three-eyed guns can be used to hold the gun in front of one hand and hold the handle in the back of the other. It can be aimed stably with a gun, and the shooting accuracy is greatly improved. Ziren had planned this for a long time, but because of his busy schedule and the limited number of military craftsmen under him, he has not been able to implement it.
After inspecting the three-eyed gun, he found that there was a crosshair in front of the gun and a very clever transformation of the door in the back, Ziren couldn't help but be suspicious, and asked with the corners of his eyebrows raised: "Ding Shoutie, this three-eyed gun was changed by your kid?" ”
"General, I have the ability to do this, but I didn't build this gun." Ding Shoutie replied seriously, and then called a thin and tall warcraftsman in his twenties to introduce: "This person's name is 'Chen Ding', he is the original warcraftsman in Changning Fort, he has good skills on weekdays and likes to study all kinds of ordnance, and this gun is transformed by him." ”
Hearing that there were such talents under his command, Ziren couldn't help but be overjoyed, patted Chen Ding on the shoulder twice, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen's craftsmanship is good, this transformation is very suitable for the general's intentions, and there are many rewards." ”
Speaking of this, Ziren ordered Ding Shoutie to convene the warmakers in the fort and announced in public: "Chen Ding has made meritorious efforts to transform the three-eyed gun, and he will be awarded the post of armor chief with ten taels of silver. After that, he nodded at Ding Shoutie, and then swept the first commander among the military craftsmen with his eyes, and said: "Ding Shoutie encourages his subordinates to offer meritorious service and reward five taels of silver to show their rewards. ”
These ten taels of silver can be worth a year's income of ordinary military craftsmen, and the military craftsmen are eager to try it after hearing it. And the group of leaders knew what Ziren said to them later, and they made up their minds to go back and dial their subordinates.
Seeing the energetic appearance of the military craftsmen, Ziren was overjoyed. Taking advantage of the opportunity to hand over the reward to Chen Ding, he shook hands with him, and found that this person was not very old, but his hands were covered with calluses, and it seemed that he was a person who worked hard, and said to him kindly: "The patrol press is now very urgent, and after going back, I will take someone to concentrate on the three-eyed gun without triggering, and then teach this kind of craft to everyone when I have time." ”
Hearing that Ziren wanted to let himself teach the craft, Chen Ding frowned and said reluctantly: "Back to the general's words, there are ancestral rules among the military craftsmen, and the craftsmanship is passed on to men and not women, at most to the apprentices who taught it in person, but there has never been a truth that it has been passed on to outsiders. ”
Ziren knew that it was not easy for these warcraftsmen to learn the craftsmanship of these housekeepers, and it was understandable that Chen Ding had reservations, so he squeezed his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's better to use Chen Jiachang's craftsmanship to make the three-eyed guns, how about adding one percent more to the original reward for each one?" ”
In addition to giving a stone of grain to military craftsmen every month, Ziren now implements piecework silver, such as five silver points for building a qualified three-eyed gun, five silver coins for a pair of cotton armor, and the rest of the ordnance and agricultural tools are priced according to the difficulty of building. Moreover, the iron and charcoal materials needed for the construction were allocated from the fort, and the silver fell into the pockets of the military craftsmen, and the life of the military craftsmen with good craftsmanship was very nourishing, and the quality of ordnance and agricultural tools was greatly improved.
However, this move also has limitations, and the artisans are often closed to each other, reluctant to give their skills to outsiders. Relying on Ding Shoutie's guidance alone, he is inevitably a little too busy. In order to help the military craftsmen in the fort improve their skills as soon as possible, Ziren came up with this method, which can be regarded as a variant of the patent law in later generations.
Hearing that this method was beneficial to himself, Chen Ding immediately replied with a smile: "The general's method is very good, and his subordinates are willing." With that, he got up and said goodbye, and took people back to hurry up and get to work.
As soon as Chen Ding's front foot left, Ding Youcai came over, jealous that Ding Shoutie had won the silver reward, and pouted and said: "Young master, you and I are both from Zhejiang, and we know that the benefits of this bird gun are far greater than the three-eyed gun." Worried that Ziren was impatient, Youcai deliberately paused halfway through speaking, and saw that Ziren was not unhappy, so he continued: "Back then, Qi Shaobao felt that the three-eyed gun was useless, why do you still value it so much?" ”
Seeing that Ding Youcai's words were a bit of a doorway, Ziren replied earnestly: "Although the bird gun is powerful and accurate, it is expensive, and almost no one in the castle can make this gun. At this time, he shook his head helplessly, glanced at the soldiers who were training, and then said: "The wind is strong in the north, and the primers and fire ropes of the bird guns are often blown away by the wind. Most of the soldiers in the fort thought that the operation of the bird gun was complicated, and after this period of training, no one except Lei Tiedan and Li Yongfang was willing to use it, so they could only take the three-eyed gun first. ”
Hearing that Ziren encountered difficulties, Ding Youcai's small eyes turned twice, and said seriously: "Young master, I have a way, are you interested in listening to it?" At this time, he pretended to stop mysteriously and looked at Ziren with frowns.
Ziren didn't take care of Ding Youcai immediately, and after glancing at him without cutting down, he said with dissatisfaction in his tone: "I love to talk, I don't like to talk about getting out, I don't have time to listen to you sell here." ”
Seeing that the abacus failed, Ding Youcai turned into a smiling face and whispered: "Young master, do you remember when you taught me to read and write? At this time, Ding Youcai touched his head with a little embarrassment, and said embarrassedly: "I can't remember, you finally came up with a way, recognize a word and reward a copper coin, this year~"
"Over the course of a year, your kid has taken less than a hundred copper coins." Ziren said before he had money, and then said with a slight smile and ridicule: "As a result, when I checked the spot check in the second year, you kid actually forgot ninety percent, and only got less than one tael of silver in five or six years." ”
Seeing that the young master revealed his shortcomings, Ding Youcai's face instantly turned red like a monkey's ass. Worried about being laughed at by Ding Shoutie, he secretly glanced at him, and saw that Shoutie didn't seem to hear it, so he was relieved.
After the joke, Ziren thought about it carefully, and felt that this method could be tried, so he said with a serious face: "You are rich, you recruit some clever ones from the boys who have reached the age of twenty in the castle, and call Lei Tiedan and Li Yongfang to teach them how to use the bird gun, and after learning it, each person will be paid five silver dollars a month." One church, you who are teachers will be rewarded with a tael of money. ”
There were only a limited number of strong men in the fort, and the physical requirements for using the bird gun were relatively low, so Ziren deliberately asked Youcai to recruit gunners from among the boys. After the training is completed, they are prepared to form a separate flag and shoot enemy generals when they are about to fight.
"Young master, you can just take a look" Seeing that Ziren adopted his opinion, Ding Youcai immediately ran to handle it with a smile.
When Ziren was training wholeheartedly. After Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, learned about the grievances and grievances between Ziren and Tong Yangzhen, it seemed that it was difficult to lock himself in the room.
