"Slave Fu Mingde knocks on Your Majesty......" Fu Mingde, the director of the arsenal, asked the emperor for peace with a puzzled face. I don't know what happened, so I called myself over.

"Fu Mingde, well, very good, what is the quality of your musket now?"

Fu Mingde's face turned white unnaturally, last time, on the school field, those who took their own guns and blew up the miserable situation of craftsmen, Fu Mingde still remembers it vividly.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid now strictly supervise the quality of the craftsmen every day, to ensure that there is no slightest problem, please rest assured, if there is a problem, the slave and maid will go to test firing with a gun...... "Fu Mingde also knows that the emperor's tolerance is limited, and he will definitely not tolerate another explosion of his own chamber, if so, he will definitely let himself go to test firing with a gun, of course, as the director of the arsenal, Fu Mingde will ask those craftsmen to test shoot first." to ensure that this never happens.

"It's good that there is no quality problem, today, I will introduce you to an inventor, a firearms expert, Bi Maokang, Bi Aiqing, and now he is the waiter in charge of the production of muskets in the Ministry of Industry, and in the future, you don't want to produce the arquebus, hurry up and produce the flintlock pistol invented by Bi Aiqing......."

"The slave obeys." Fu Mingde cautiously replied, the production of new muskets? No problem, as long as it's not a quality issue, it's fine.

"Bi Aiqing, your task is to quickly finalize this flintlock pistol to facilitate large-scale manufacturing, and there is one flintlock pistol of different lengths, understand?"

"The minister understands, and the minister obeys the order." Bi Maokang replied respectfully.

"Well, that's good, Fu Mingde, I have placed an order for 10,000 spears and 1,000 handcuffs with the War Bureau, and within a year, you will be responsible for making them, understand? For each of these things, I will give you five taels of silver. Yang immediately placed an order.

“…… The slave maid understood,...... "Actually, Fu Mingde doesn't understand very much, why does the emperor's own military bureau still use it to place orders?" What is an order? Fu Mingde is quite confused, it has always been a holy decree of the emperor, and our military battle bureau will start, and everything will be from the collar of the underwear, and the emperor will give himself the price of five taels and five dollars of silver in this way, does it mean that if you have more money for yourself, the rest will be counted as earning? Want to control your own costs? That's how it should be. Fu Mingde thought so.

I thought about it again, this gun, the cost of production is only four or five taels, even if the quality requirements are stricter, at most it is five taels, and now I have to add a flint thing, look at the thing that may be a sample gun, there is no difference, it is estimated that it will not cost much silver, so calculated, isn't it a gun that can earn some silver? The emperor has to set 11,000 strokes at a time, which is really a big deal! When Fu Mingde thought of this, he felt that this emperor was really famous, and he had to run by himself, and he was not allowed to eat more.

"It's good to understand, then go and do it quickly, the arquebus will stop immediately......" Yang Gai urged Fu Mingde to hurry up and produce flintlock pistols, eager to equip all the troops with flintlock pistols immediately.

"Wait, there's one more thing...... This flintlock pistol is a confidential matter, how to make it, including drawings, design, technology, but it must be kept secret, if it is leaked, it should be disclosed and banned in Chinese ......", in the end, it has been quite severe. Yang Reform suddenly remembered that there was no sense of secrecy in this era, and there was no intellectual property rights, and later, Bi Maokang also published and distributed this book introducing the production of firearms, contributing his wisdom to mankind, Yang Reform can only say that the people of this era are too pure, or first give a secret order and then say, lest they take their own technology everywhere to promote, this is not good, think of future generations, that intellectual property rights, but not less pit us Chinese, now, it is Yang Reform's turn to wield the big stick of intellectual property.

A group of people on the side listened to the emperor's words, and suddenly felt a cold neck in their necks, "leaking forbidden Chinese", this crime is really big enough, if something really happens, raiding the house and killing the head is indispensable. I also suddenly realized that I shouldn't talk about it casually in front of others.

……

After Fu Mingde left, Nabi Maokang also left, and discussed the issue of making guns with Fu Mingde.

"Master Sun, you can give me a big gift today! Such a sharp weapon, benefiting the country and the people, the merit is in the future! I've thanked Master Sun here. Yang Reform gave Sun Chengzong a hand, which can be regarded as thanking Sun Chengzong.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, the ministers are afraid and dare not be ......" Sun Chengzong hurriedly gave the emperor a bow to avoid the emperor's salute.

"Master Sun, you should receive this great gift, you don't have to be modest, I still look forward to Master Sun to find more talents for me."

"Your Majesty's words are serious...... "Sun Chengzong had no choice but to follow the emperor's wishes."

As he walked, Sun Chengzong remembered something again.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a question, I don't know whether to ask it or not." Sun Chengzong asked.

"Master Sun, just say anything about it." Yang reformed.

"Your Majesty, the old minister saw that His Majesty had set two kinds of firearms, two kinds of long and short, I don't know how Your Majesty planned it?"

"Hehe, Master Sun! That's the case, I think, this spear, given to ordinary sergeants, as a weapon to kill the enemy head-on, that handcuff, rationed small flag, general flag, hundred households, such an officer, as a different treatment from ordinary sergeants, what does Master Sun think? "Yang Gai has watched countless war movies. Naturally, I know that this officer is equipped with a pistol, and ordinary soldiers are equipped with a long gun, which is a popular and trendy in later generations, and now, it is natural to give his new army such a configuration.

"Your Majesty has a point!" Sun Chengzong stroked his beard, thought for a while, and praised the emperor.

Yang Reform can only laugh at this, this is nothing, after all, he is plagiarizing.

……

Yang Gai and Sun Chengzong walked around the school field. Talk as you go. Talk a little bit about what's going on lately.

"Master Sun, how is Yuan Chonghuan doing?" Yang Reform is very related to Yuan Chonghuan's current situation, this guy won't be scolded by himself, right?

"Your Majesty, since he was taught by His Majesty, he has never left home, and it is said that he has been thinking hard at home and repenting." Sun Chengzong replied.

"Oh, that's right! Yuan Chonghuan is still loyal, but unfortunately, he is too impulsive to do things, and if he cultivates it well, he can still be independent...... "Yang Reform doesn't want this historical celebrity to "disappear" like this, and hopes that he can help him achieve his career.

"What Your Majesty said is that Ziru lacks a sense of the overall situation, and His Majesty's stern lesson this time must be able to make him gain something and grow ......, and the minister is also old, and there is no successor! Your Majesty should be looking for a pillar of talent as soon as possible! "Sun Chengzong is almost seventy years old, and he is very old, if he didn't have to support Chongzhen, he would have gone home to care for the elderly. Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the law of life, and it is unavoidable, so there is also a persuasion like a last word, persuading the emperor to find a talent who can replace him, otherwise, as soon as he dies, this empire will be even more dangerous.

"......" Yang Reform was silent for a while, yes! This Sun Chengzong is also old, and he is very old, although his body is still tough, but ......, alas, "ancient and rare"! Someone who is almost seventy years old......

When Yang Gengai thought of Sun Chengzong's age, he had to help himself train the new army and support the situation of the Ming Dynasty for himself, and he didn't feel good in his heart, and he thought that next year, the wild boar skin would enter the customs, and he would still rely on such an old man who was almost seventy years old to help him get through the difficulties, and Yang Gengai felt even more uncomfortable.

What about young people? What about reliable young people? Over there? Yang Reform thought of Yuan Chonghuan, this person still needs to be tempered, and he thought of the young Wu Sangui, and he had to beware of his possible rebellion. I thought of my new army, and I had just started training. Yang Reform is helpless for a while, and he needs to work harder.

……

Yang Reform and Sun Chengzong walked around, talked a little, and then found those sparring students to exercise together, which can be regarded as an emotional investment.
