"My lord, the batch of equipment needed for this arsenal has arrived today."

In the office, Ma Zikai said to Wang Bin.

"Oh. So fast! ”

Wang Bin was indeed a little surprised by Ma Zikai's words, Yuan Shikai just mentioned it to himself a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to arrive so soon.

In this way, the Jinzhou Arsenal under his command has a full set of bullet production lines and smokeless gunpowder production lines, from rifles to bullets, gunpowder can be produced by itself, once the formal production begins, if it can really reach the expected production speed, then it can fully meet the production needs of the Beiyang series, so that the Jinzhou Arsenal will become the premier arsenal in the north.

Different from Yuan Shikai's direction of consideration, the current Wang Bin is considered from his own position in Beiyang, so Wang Bin came to the conclusion that Beiyang now needs an arsenal.

However, Yuan Shikai is not like this, the current Yuan Shikai is still a loyal minister of the Qing court, at this time Yuan Shikai was not distrusted by the Qing court, so Yuan Shikai has been doing his best for the Qing court, so Yuan Shikai came to the conclusion that not only Beiyang needs an arsenal, but also this arsenal needs to be able to meet the logistics supply needs of the new army across the country.

"Now that this batch of equipment has arrived, then immediately order to go down and start assembling, and let Sergei immediately start the production of Mosin-Nagant rifles"

Wang Bin instructed Ma Zikai in front of him.

Ma Zikai replied immediately after listening to Wang Bin's words

"My lord, Mr. Sergei has already begun to have his technicians assemble this batch of equipment, and the production of the Mosin-Nagant rifle has officially begun yesterday."

Ma Zikai's words made Wang Bin a little surprised, before the arsenal had been testing the production line of Mosin-Nagant rifles, only a few Mosin-Nagant rifles were trial-produced, and did not officially start production, but I didn't expect that the production of Mosin-Nagant had begun yesterday.

After knowing this, Wang Bin immediately said: "The official didn't expect that this production had started yesterday, it seems that it was the official's mistake, but I don't know how much this production is every day?" ”

Wang Bin really hasn't paid much attention to the affairs of the arsenal these days, and today he suddenly heard Ma Zikai say that the production of Mosin-Nagant had started yesterday, so he was a little concerned about the production of Mosin-Nagant, after all, this is directly related to the key issue of the new recruits' rifles.

And after Ma Zikai listened to Wang Bin's words, he didn't pause and directly followed Wang Bin's words and said: "My lord, as far as the ministry knows, the daily output of this Mosin-Nagant rifle is about twenty pieces per day, and if it is fully produced, it can reach a daily output of fifty pieces. “

The output of twenty to fifty sticks, Wang Bin silently calculated in his heart, even the lowest output reached twenty sticks per day, this month is 600 sticks, if you go all out to produce it, it will be 1,500 sticks per month, enough for your own use, and it will be exceeded.

If the arsenal completes the installation of all the equipment, the daily output is also an extremely terrifying amount, and it is completely possible to consider the export to the outside world while meeting its own needs, such as the arms trade of the Russian army and the Japanese army and meeting the needs of the Beiyang New Army, which will not be a problem for themselves.

Especially in recent years, the Beiyang New Army has been purchasing arms from abroad, and after its own arsenal began to produce munitions, it has invested so much money in its own arsenal for various bigwigs, and it will place orders in its own factories, after all, it has promised that as long as it is from the Beiyang New Army, it will be sold at a price lower than the international market.

If you can't make a lot of money in the future, it will be embarrassing.

After calming down a little bit, Wang Bin suddenly remembered that there was still a bandit matter that had not been resolved, so he asked Ma Zikai again: "How did you go to Zhao'an?" “

Since the last time Ma Zikai was in charge of recruiting bandits, he hasn't asked much about this matter, and now he sees that this recruit training has been for some time, as the saying goes, the mule is the horse always has to be pulled out to practice, and it is time to take it out for practice.

Ma Zikai also felt a little sudden after listening to Wang Bin's words, and he really couldn't understand the mind of this adult, he was still talking about the arsenal a moment ago, and now he suddenly remembered this matter.

Although he felt a little sudden in his heart, Ma Zikai still silently sorted out this aspect in his heart.

And at this moment, Wang Bin didn't care about what Ma Zikai was complaining about in his heart, just waiting for Ma Zikai's report.

"My lord, this recruitment has been basically completed by the Ministry of Employment, and all that remains is some finishing touches."

After listening to Ma Zikai's words, Wang Bin was very satisfied, and he was most assured of Ma Zikai's intelligence work and ability to handle affairs under his subordinates.

So it is not surprising that Ma Zikai can finish this thing so quickly.

"Now, then, you seem to have a clear understanding of the situation of these bandits."

Wang Bin's tone was tinged with some approval.

This third town to Jinzhou is only more than two months of effort, all of which are Ma Zikai is responsible for the collection of intelligence, this time Zhao'an is Ma Zikai is responsible for the preliminary work of the last time to suppress bandits, and Ma Zikai is also doing it, not only collected some information on the surface, even those small and medium-sized bandit intelligence has also been collected.

If you change your background, you're like going into the mountains to bully those who have no resistance.

Wang Bin actually has his own opinions about these bandits outside the gate, some of these bandits are forced by officials to rebel against the people, and some of them are born with a banditry, and these bandits who are born with some bandits have been wiped out except for those big bandits and giant bandits, and the rest are some of the officials who are forced to rebel, and now Wang Bin has to consider how to wipe out these remaining bandits.

"My lord, look at what you said, since you have assigned this task, then the department will definitely do its best to complete it." Ma Zikai said modestly.

"Now that the work of recruiting security has been completed, then it is time to clean it up, and there will be no banditry."

Wang Bin said proudly.

"Your Excellency, are you talking about that plan?" Ma Zikai asked suddenly

"Yes, that's the plan." Wang Bin replied

"My lord, which plan is that?" This time, Ma Zikai's words were full of questions

Wang Bin was embarrassed: "......"
