After returning from the celebration, Ortai and Kamintu had arrived from Shanghai and were waiting in the Liuchun Garden.

Yinzhen met with Ka Mintu alone in the study, and after a little greeting, he cut to the topic, "Zhang Xiang has set off to return to Beijing five days ago, the emperor is currently strongly supporting us, you two enter Beijing, there must be many officials who come to the camp, don't pay attention to it, just do your own errands with peace of mind, the emperor is now in the spring and autumn season, pay more attention to the slightly lower grade, morality, outstanding talents, compete for the crown, not in a hurry." ”

Hearing Yinzhen's clear proposal to compete for the crown, Ka Mintu was also very excited, and immediately replied respectfully: "I respectfully serve the will of the prince." ”

"Regarding the case of Zhang Yuanlong's collusion with Kali to resell rice and the case of the pirate Zheng Quanxin robbing the maritime merchants, I have already explained to Zhang Chapter 114 of the division of labor and cooperation, just report it truthfully, the Holy One has his own conclusion, and he will not embarrass you."

"The prince is so thoughtful, and he is grateful." Kamintu said gratefully.

Ortai, who came in next, Yinzhen was very interested, Xilin Jueluo. Ortai is a capable general under the fourth brother in history, not only talented but also incorruptible, as if his family has produced several governors, and he himself is also the minister of military aircraft.

As soon as Ortai entered the study, he really knelt down, "Slave Ortai asks for peace to the fourteenth master, and the fourteenth master is Jin'an." ”

When he got up, Yinzhen looked at him carefully, Ortai was about thirty years old, tall, with slightly long cheeks, bright eyes, the whole person looked very energetic, I heard that he was a second-class guard, but Yinzhen didn't have any impression of him, Kangxi asked him to take over the Qinhuai River pilot, it should be because of his talent and integrity.

Ortai was a little apprehensive at this time, he had been very unsuccessful since Kangxi took the post of leader in the 37th year of his reign and served as a guard, and he had only been mixed into the second-class guard for more than ten years.

This time, he was selected by Kangxi Chapter 114 to take over the Qinhuai River pilot, for him, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for performance, he rushed all the way to Jiangning, and when he handed over the errand, he knew that this pilot was actually the handwriting of the fourteenth elder brother, and his heart was alive immediately.

Now who in the capital doesn't know about the 14th elder brother's self-establishment of the 14th Party, Kangxi's strong support for the 14th Party is also spreading, I don't know how many officials are going around the camp to squeeze in and hitchhike, now this ready-made opportunity is in front of him, how can he not be tempted? He made a decisive decision at that time to go to Shanghai to take the opportunity of asking for advice to explore the tone of the fourteenth elder brother. I was really a little apprehensive in my heart.

Seeing Yinzhen looking him up and down, Ortai said calmly: "Fourteenth master, the slave has taken over the errand of the Qinhuai River pilot project from Lord Ka, but the slave is the first time to go out of Beijing on an errand, and he has no experience, so he is afraid that he will mess up the errand, so he has come to ask the fourteenth master for guidance." ”

Yinzhen retracted his eyes, Ortai is ordered to do an errand, it stands to reason that Baba ran from Jiangning to ask for instructions from himself, nothing more than to want to get on his own boat, this little bit of caution, he turned his mind to know, since he is a talent, he is naturally willing to recruit, and then said kindly: "The errand is very simple, the main thing is to stand upright, although the Qinhuai River pilot is small but directly related to the industrial and commercial miscellaneous tax innovation, you can not have a contemptuous heart, you just took over, you have to see more and ask more thoughts, the focus is to grasp the tax rate of this degree, first eat the green building industry, Then you can get in touch with other industries, industrial and commercial miscellaneous tax innovation is a big article, not a short period of time can be achieved overnight, what you want is good at practice, good at economic talents, there are doubts, incomprehensible places, you can come to the master to ask. ”

As soon as he heard this, Ortai was excited, the fourteenth master not only agreed to get on the ship, but also placed high hopes on himself, after so many years, he finally saw the hope of coming out, how could he not be happy, at the moment he forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, kowtowed steadily, and then got up and said: "The slave Ortai is clean and self-conscious, and he is diligent in doing errands, so as to live up to the love of the fourteenth master." ”

In the firearms factory, Yinzhen, accompanied by the chief manager Hu Zhiguo, watched the production process of the barrel from beginning to end, the craftsmen first beat the refined wrought iron into a thin iron plate, and then wrapped it on an iron rod and forged it repeatedly, and then burned it after forming, and then forged it again, and so on many times before they could complete a barrel.

The last thing that Yinzhen could accept was a barrel, they were divided into three sections, and then welded with white copper, in addition, he also noticed that all craftsmen were basically all-rounders, from striking iron pieces to the completion of the barrel, he groaned, and then asked: "What is the thickness of the barrel wall?" ”

Hu Zhiguo was asked by Yinzhen from the Ministry of Industry, and he has always been in charge of the production of firearms, and he is very familiar with these data, so he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Hui Wang Ye, it is generally one point." ”

One point? Yinzhen silently calculated, Kangxi built a ruler of 32 centimeters, a minute is only 3.2 millimeters, he meditated on the things in his memory, for a long time, he can only vaguely remember some, groaned, he said: "You try to make another batch to see, set the thickness of the barrel between one and a half to two minutes, the caliber is four points, and the tube length is four feet." ”

Hu Zhiguo respectfully said yes and recorded it at the same time.

Yinzhen then ordered: "The barrel process must be improved, it must be forged and formed as a whole, and the welding is too easy to blow up, so that the soldiers cannot be afraid of the firecracker." Also, you can try to divide the work. ”

Cooperation? Hu Zhiguo didn't understand what it meant, and couldn't help but look at Yinzhen suspiciously.

Yinzhen thought for a while, and then said succinctly: "It is to make the craftsmen responsible for a link, so that they can reach the point where practice makes perfect, understand?" ”

Hu Zhiguo immediately understood, and immediately realized the benefits of doing so, "What the prince means is that the one who beats the iron plate is responsible for the iron plate, and the one who forges the barrel is only responsible for forging the barrel. ”

Yinzhen glanced at him with great appreciation, this guy's comprehension ability is not bad, and he couldn't help but smile and encourage, "Yes, I understand it very right, that's what it means." Management is a university question, pay more attention, pay more attention, pay attention everywhere are knowledge, the king's factory will be bigger and bigger in the future, what you want is to have real talents. ”

Hu Zhiguo didn't think that a word would be exchanged for such praise and encouragement from Yinzhen, his face was red with excitement, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The prince's praise is really embarrassing, and the humble duty must be honest and diligent to live up to the prince's high expectations." ”

"Yes." Yinzhen nodded approvingly, and said: "Firearms are the weapons of the country, and the quality must be guaranteed. In addition, the division of labor and cooperation must be refined in size, and there can be no slightest error. Otherwise, the division of labor and cooperation to produce products can only be defective, the king suggested, each link is focused on people to make a standard example, distributed to each craftsman, according to the standard example of the product, and every day to send a special person to accept, so as to ensure the quality of the product. ”！！！
