Chapter 334 is going to settle some old accounts

Chen Xie, who opened his eyes, felt that the two arms were no longer his own, and this trip was a bit long, and he couldn't face two pairs of expectant eyes when he returned to Zhangjiazhuang, so he had to pull him into a quilt and talk about it. Gently freeing their hands, the two aunts continued to sleep as they slipped off the bed. Last night, these two refused to admit defeat, and they were a little miserable.

Look at the noon sun, and put on your clothes haphazardly. The yard was very quiet, and the water was pressed by himself on the edge of the well platform, and when the two maids were busy coming in, they saw Chen Xie doing it himself, and they all knelt down in fright. They are not afraid of Master Chen, but afraid of the two aunts, they know that neither of them is at the post, and the guide zhì master does his own to fetch water and freshen up, it is not as simple as being kicked out, it is estimated that they will have to eat a meal, and they will not be able to find anyone in Dengzhou from now on.

"Let's get up, I turned around and told my aunt that I would get ten boards, and I wouldn't take an example." Chen Xie is not a bad person, the Ming Dynasty has the rules of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many big families, so there are many rules.

"Master Xie, the slave maid just watched the excitement outside for a while, but I didn't expect you to get up so soon." The maid explained, Chen Xie listened strangely, and looked at the ladder erected by the wall of the courtyard outside, these two maids must have stood here just now and watched the excitement.

I climbed up and took a look, and there were hundreds of people watching acrobatics around the door. Chen Xie smiled, walked out, and greeted countless people along the way, Chen Xie nodded one by one. By the locust tree outside the gate, the acrobatic team is playing wonderful. On a rope, the red lady is doing somersaults. One after the other, after several in a row, a split fork came to a steady stop on it. If you want to talk about strength, Chen Xie can win her with one hand, and if you want to talk about this stability, Chen Xie sighs to himself.

"I said, if you want to perform, don't you have a stage? Blocking my door, what's the matter? Chen Xie opened his mouth with a smile. The people in the Zhuangzi looked over one after another. greeted one after another: "Hello Master Chen." Chen Xie waved his hand and said, "Don't stand at my door, who is that, you go to the stage over there in the market to perform, there are many people." Business is good, too. ”

The red lady smiled. looked at Chen Xie and said loudly: "What." You watched it for a long time, and you didn't give a single reward? ”

The people of Zhangjiazhuang laughed for a while, and Chen Xie could be majestic in other places. In the minds of the people of Zhangjiazhuang, he is a good man with kind eyebrows. Majesty or something, it's really not Chen Xie's mainstream in Zhuangzi.

Touching his pocket, Chen Xie spread his hands: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring silver yuan." After that, he smiled at the villagers: "Funny, isn't it?" If it is blocked at my doorstep again, all the labor money will be reduced by 30% this month. When they heard this, the people dispersed.

Several members of the acrobatic troupe were cleaning up the venue, and Chen Xie sat on the stone pier by the door, lit a cigarette and looked at the red lady who had been smiling, waiting for her to take the initiative to speak.

"Your place looks heavily guarded, and it's easy to get in." The red lady looked proud, as if she was laughing at Chen Xie's guard here. Chen Xie is also very strange, Zhangjiazhuang is a place, it is very difficult for outsiders to come in now, and people in Zhuangzi need to be guaranteed, not cats and dogs can come in casually.

Chen Xie ignored the red lady's smug question, and shouted behind the red lady: "Han Shan, what kind of reputation are you doing?" ”

The red lady was taken aback, hesitated for a moment and didn't look back, and said to Chen Xie: "Don't try to lie to me, I won't be fooled." ”

Chen Xie sighed, shook his head and said, "You are too confident, let's look back." The red lady looked back and was terrified. The muzzle of the black hole hole has surrounded them, all of them are plainclothes, and they have just mixed in with the audience. This will pull out a short gun, no less than fifty people. The guys of the acrobatic troupe, this will honestly squat on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Chen Xie stepped forward, looked at the shame and anger on this beautiful woman's face, patted her shoulder a little frivolously and said, "Even if Zhangjiazhuang is not Longtan Tiger's Den, it is not something you can come in if you want to." After speaking, Chen Xie turned around and went back, and when he stood at the door, he didn't reply: "Han Shan, give her ten silver yuan, send them out of Zhuangzi, and invite the old and young masters of Zhuangzi to watch tricks in the evening." ”

The red lady was like a deflated ball, unwillingly staring at Chen Xie through the side door and entering, leaving with his subordinates in a puff, when he came out of Zhuangzi, he saw a long queue of carriages near the sentry post, which was being carefully inspected, and then he knew that he could come in, which was deliberately put in by others. The specific reason for this, even if the red lady is curious, she is embarrassed to ask.

A ghostly face appeared on a carriage, and when she looked at it, the red lady glared back. Fan Ghost Xilaojing immediately retracted his neck, this oriental woman's eyes were murderous, Xilaojing was very strange how she got into Zhuangzi. The carriage followed closely behind the unchecked carriage in front, and when Xilaojing got off, Liu Qing was already standing at the door and looking back.

"What's going on?" Liu Qing asked Han Shan vigilantly, and the goods bared his teeth and smiled: "The master met me in Henan, but I didn't expect to take the initiative to come to the door." Liu Qing smiled when I heard it, Master Chen's reputation for being lustful and picky, no one in Dengzhou didn't know. It's a pity that Master Chen's appetite is too strange, and the daughters of many people in Dengzhou have broken their hearts countless times.

"The owner, why do you fall in love with the black girl?" Liu Qing joked when he saw Chen Xie, it is estimated that the entire Dengzhou eats with Chen Xie, and he is the only one who has this privilege. Chen Xie smiled and said, "The legs are quite long, and they look comfortable." Liu Qing was ashamed in his heart, he hadn't figured out the hobby of the owner for so long. Immediately secretly wrote, "The legs must be long".

Xilaojing strode forward to salute, Chen Xie looked at this ghost, and saluted back: "How is my navy training?" ”

Silao Jing said loudly: "Your Excellency, the navy is ready to go out for you at any time. ”

Chen Xie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go in and talk about it, there are some important things recently, everyone hurry up and report it." ”

The people who came in the living room one by one, Liu Qing and Xilaojing, Wang Qinian, Wang Ben, Lu Weiluo, and Fran Yalanda. Su Haochen and Zhang Biao had not yet returned to Dengzhou, and the news they brought back was that there were too many refugees following them on the march, which slowed down the speed. Wang Ben can appear here because he has been promoted, and now he is not the captain of the brigade, but the commander of the newly formed third battalion.

"Wang Qinian, congratulations." Chen Xie came first, Wang Qinian's daughter-in-law finally gave birth to a boy last month, and now her mouth is crooked. Finally gave birth to a handle.

"Thank you, sir, hehe." Wang Qinian stood up and spoke, Chen Xie waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business, it's not interesting to be polite without playing." Wang Qinian said with a straight face: "Jiannu still has no garrison in Gaizhou, and there are no more than 10,000 people stationed in Haizhou. According to investigation, they were all cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Han Army. According to the master's order, in addition to the fortress, many outposts were also built in Fuzhou. I think that I can't always guard it like this, so I might as well fight it. ”

Chen Xie nodded and said, "The idea is very good, but don't think about it now." Wang Qinian had no choice but to sit down, Chen Xie looked at Lu Weiluo and said, "What is the current output of the Ordnance Bureau?" How much is in stock? ”

Lu Weiluo took out a small notebook and said, "According to your instructions, the Ordnance Bureau has carried out a relatively successful expansion. Fire, pharmaceutical factories, and warehouses are the focus, and the current inventory is enough for the existing troops of the Dengzhou battalion to fight five large-scale wars. Lord, the little one thinks that it is still necessary to increase some manpower, especially the training of skilled workers. The existing training method is the way of the master leading the apprentice, and the effect is a little slower. ”

Of course, Chen Xie knows what to do, and this kind of thing can be used as a reference for technical schools. However, even if you graduate from a technical school and actually enter the factory, you need to be an apprentice for a period of time before you can put what you learned in school into practice.

"This thing is easy to do, and a vocational and technical school is opened for three years. In the last semester, I asked the master to take another year in various enterprises, and the master nodded to Tong Guò before he officially graduated. ”

Lu Weiwei brushed the record, saw Chen Xie stop, and continued: "Soon after the master set out on the expedition, the artillery factory solved the technical problems of the rear loading of the naval gun. The samples produced have been handed over to the Navy for trial. Currently waiting for the report of the Navy, there is no problem to talk about mass production. ”

Chen Xie's eyes immediately stared at Xilaojing, and this ghost stood up and said with a very military appearance: "Your Excellency, the new naval gun has indeed solved the problem of reloading and charging speed very well. But it also brought the problem of being less airtight than breech guns. ”

Chen Xie's eyes turned in the direction again, and Lu Wei nodded slightly and said, "Master, this is an inevitable problem." The craftsmen have done their best, but the current ability to do the best, and that's it. We used a cast iron plate to block the tail, and the firing range was not as good as before, but the rate of fire was three times higher. After the barrel is lengthened, the problem of reducing the firing range will not affect it too much. ”

"Your Excellency, after repeated practice by the navy, we unanimously agree that your view on the theory of victory in naval warfare is extremely correct. The new guns of the foundry had a firing range of three to five hundred meters farther than European guns of the same caliber, but the rate of fire was much higher. The Navy agreed that the new rear-loading 12- and 18-pounder rifled naval guns could be mass-equipped, replacing the previous 12-pounder front-loading rifled guns. ”

Chen Xie immediately stared at Lu Weiluo, and the answer he got was very clear: "Large-scale production, it is estimated that it will take a year to meet the needs of the navy." It would not have taken so long, but the shipyard ordered the artillery of eight warships. ”

Without waiting for Chen Xie to ask a question, Fran Yalanda had already stood up and smiled: "Master, what he said is right. In two months, eight of our new ships will be launched and delivered to the Navy. However, at your request, the Navy needs to pay the remaining balance. ”

Each factory is responsible for its own profits and losses, which is not the result of Chen Xie's brain, but to create a competition mechanism.

"I know, Xilaojing, go back and prepare, at the latest three days, the navy will be dispatched, and I will go to settle an old account."

The Xilao Sutra immediately saluted: "Yes, the navy will destroy a qiē enemy for you." (To be continued......)
