Chapter Eighty-Seven: Guns
After the company commander and the grateful Zhang Runqing left, the people of the Guards Company dispersed a way from the surrounding onlookers.
After returning to the carriage, looking at Wang Er's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Yan Guang smiled and said. "If you want to ask, just ask, your face is not suitable for this kind of expression."
"This..."Wang Er thought for a moment. Boss, returning Zhang Renjun's body to that Zhang Runqing will make the people have any bad reactions? "In any case, Zhang Renjun is also the culprit who ordered the shooting and caused the Chengdu bloodbath...
"You're thinking too much, it's just an old man, and our current identity is the revolutionary army, even if that old man has done something, do we still have to do anything on his corpse?"
ββ¦β¦ too..."
Yan Guang smiled "hehe", and then continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
Tomorrow he is going to announce the policy that although it is a bit old-fashioned, but it absolutely wins the hearts of the people, not to mention that there is actually nothing to make a fuss about this matter, even if someone really wants to make an article, Yan Guang believes that his policy can definitely settle everything.
Even those road guards can definitely settle most of them... (I don't know about Yucheng yet)

In the Sanguantang outside the east gate of the city, Yang Kai, the superintendent who had already been notified that the new governor was coming to inspect, and all the management and some workers of the arsenal had been waiting outside the gate of the factory for a long time.
"My lord, you have met the governor of the revolutionary party, can you tell us about the governor's spleen first?" On the side, a manager in charge of firearms repair said with a huff.
"Yes, my lord, can you tell us about this adult's spleen first?" Several other supervisors on the side also said.
No wonder they will be like this, in the late Qing Dynasty Arsenal is one of the fat shortages, it is a good place to make money, it can be said that except for a few technical surname management, the rest of the management is almost all mixed in through the relationship.
If it is said in the past, this situation is easy to say, after all, the official thing is like that, but...
Isn't it time for the revolutionary party to come up? Not to mention anything else, if someone checks the records of the past arsenal...
I can't eat and walk around!
Who knew that Yang Kai just shook his head. "I don't know." In fact, he has seen the so-called, but only because of the preparation of the new factory, he has met Zhao Erfeng a few times.
And it's just seen, the number of words when speaking is probably less than Zhu Qinglan's 20 words, and even when the revolutionary army occupied Chengdu, Yang Kai received Song Dinghan when he went to surrender. If he can know anything about Yan Guang in this situation, it is really very powerful.
"Anyway, you must treat people as grandfathers for a while, so I believe there will be no problem..."
Several supervisors next to him heard Yang Kai say this, and hurriedly scolded. "Nonsense!"
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Yan Guang's convoy to appear in front of them.
"Is this the Arsenal?" Although he also has a factory, the first time he came to the arsenal, Yan Guang was still a little curious.
"I've seen Lord Governor." At this time, seeing Yan Guang and Wang Er getting out of the carriage, Yang Kai hurriedly led his supervisors to greet him.
"You are?" Looking at Yang Kai, who was the leader, Yan Guang had a feeling of familiarity.
"The lowly position is Yang Kai, the governor of the arsenal, when Zhao Erfeng was still there, he once met with the governor in his house..."
"Zhao Erfeng? That old man's house? Yan Guang thought hard about it, and after thinking about it for a long time. Oh!!! β
Still don't remember...
Accompanied by Yang Kai and other supervisors, Yan Guang casually checked it and asked about the questions he was concerned about.
"How many guns and ammunition can you produce here every day?" Now this can be said to be one of the issues that Yan Guang is most concerned about.
As the governor of the arsenal, although he was mixed up by a relationship, Yang Kai still understood these basic things, so he hurriedly replied. "Back to the Dudu, the bullets can produce more than 200,000 rounds a day, and as for the rifle..."Yang Kai smiled. Some guns have a simpler structure, so it is much easier to build, while some rifles are more complicated, so they are relatively complicated to build. β
"Thatβ" Yan Guang thought for a moment. What if it's made in Hanyang, which is now the Hanyang Arsenal? "Hanyang-made, standard cutting-edge rifles, although only for China.
"If it is made in Hanyang, it can produce about 40 branches a day." After thinking about it, Yang Kai replied, of course, this remaining word is still very interesting, for example, 41 branches are also residual branches...
Yan Guang nodded, and then continued to ask. "And what if it's a quick gun?" Although Hanyang is a good gun, there are no molds or drawings at the moment, so it is better to make a fast gun, and in any case, the fast gun is also a gun above the level. Moreover, the structure of the fast gun is simpler than that of the Mauser gun, and the Sichuan Machinery Bureau has been building it for many years, and the workers will be much more skilled in building it.
"Quick guns?" Hearing that it was a fast gun, Yang Kai thought about it. "If it's a fast gun, then 60 guns a day should still be no problem."
Yan Guang nodded after hearing this, if this is the case, then two divisions of guns can be built in a year.
But...
"Don't you work overtime at night here?" Yan Guang suddenly thought that if he started work at night...
"At night?" Yang Kai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then hurriedly said. "Governor, the workers also need to rest..."
"I know, I'm just wondering if I can get workers to work in three shifts."
"Three shifts?" Yang Kai has heard of this method. "If that's the case, then an additional amount of money is needed to give..."
Yan Guang waved his hand. "Funding is not a problem, the key is how many guns can you produce here per day after three shifts?"
"At least 100 guns a day..."The construction of the fast gun is already very simple, and the workers in the factory have been building it for many years, if you use the method of three shifts, then 100 guns a day is still very simple.
"A hundred?" In this way, it will take more than half a month to build the guns needed by a regiment.
Although there are enough guns to equip two divisions in Chengdu now, as long as you think that there are most of the Martini and Lin Dengming in it...
And almost all of these are from the patrol battalion, that is, the green battalion in the past, and many of the guns are probably older than Yan Guang, although they can barely be used, but just think about the almost all Hanyang made by the third division, as well as the fast guns in the patrol battalion...
Now Yan Guang can only pin all his hopes on the arsenal.
