Chapter Ninety-Six: The West Wind Urges the Guests to Get on the Horse (1)
"Mr. Bai, another door has been blown up, this big bird gun is even worse than Lu Mi gun!" The trainer complained to Xiao Tugeng with a sad face.
Xiao Tugeng looked at the soldier who was injured and was carried down, his teeth itched with hatred, and he said stiffly: "Didn't you all let me check it!" How can it still be fried! ”
"Mr. Bai, is there any crack in this thing, and I can't see it from the outside...... "The trainer said helplessly: "Otherwise, if we reduce the gunpowder, maybe it will be fine." ”
Reducing gunpowder can indeed increase the safety factor, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pays the most attention to the rules. The dosage of all firearms is prescribed, packed in paper bags, and after tearing it open, the lead and gunpowder are poured into the barrel together, and then stuffed into the paper bag, and slightly compacted with a stabbing stick...... This series of actions has formed a code of conduct, and no one can change it.
If it can really be proved that the changes do not affect the tactical operation, but can improve the efficiency, it is a proper credit, and you can receive five taels of silver. In the beginning, there were a few soldiers with bright brains, but then it was very difficult to make any improvements. On the other hand, if you propose any changes that do not improve efficiency, but instead reduce the actual combat effect, you will definitely be criticized!
"Do it again!" Xiao Tugeng gritted his teeth and said, "This is a big deal!" Even if you are dead, you will be blessed in heaven in the future, and you are afraid that it will be a ball! ”
For those who do not have the opportunity to meditate on alchemy and have no conditions for financial support, serving the Zhengshen Xingjun, after death, the heroic spirit can become a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, and continue to protect the Xingjun and his family, which is a shortcut to ascend to heaven and enjoy Qingfu.
Zhu Cihong originally didn't like this kind of empty check of "no name in life, no letter after death", and hoped to use the "burden theory" to unify people's hearts. However, the Taoist priests soon discovered that most of the soldiers in the guard camp of the East Palace had no family heirs, and some did not even know who their parents were...... For them, the theory of bearing the burden is more ethereal and unverifiable than the theory of the afterlife.
The Taoist priests who hadn't changed their habits accidentally moved out the Heavenly Spirit Divine Monarch again. Who knew that the market was opened all of a sudden, and it couldn't be stopped.
"Mr. Bai, if you go on the battlefield, even if you fight out, our people may not take a step back." The instructor couldn't help but step forward and say, "But this is on the school field...... It's so demoralizing. ”
Xiao Tugeng was reluctant to directly intervene in the training, but at this moment, he saw that his trainer was helpless. I had to take a step back and say, "Let them choose for themselves." Is it a firearm live-fire training, or a 20-mile armed run, plus 500 planned shots. ”
According to the degree method of the Ming Dynasty, one mile is basically the same as one mile in later generations. Twenty miles is ten kilometers, which is not a long time for the miners and slender men who work all year round, but after carrying thirty pounds of equipment, there are people waving whips to catch up behind, and the slowest team has no food to eat...... It has always been the most hated training subject for soldiers.
However, now that there is a live-fire drill subject, the word "most" has been replaced by "one".
More than eighty percent of the soldiers chose long-distance running and shooting exercises. And unwilling to face the explosion without warning.
Xiao Tugeng was helpless, in order to maintain the dignity of the commander, he couldn't break his word and get fat, so he had to comply with the soldier's voice, and at the same time report to the East Palace Outer Mansion, asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to re-select a batch of firearms to enrich the Firearms Bureau.
Zhu Cihong was very helpless after getting the report.
Perhaps there were hidden dangers in the manufacture of this batch of firearms, or it may have been improperly stored and caused by the explosion. Whatever the reason, in the end, it is as a prince. He did not have a direct domain and could set up factories as he wished. Carry out ordnance manufacturing.
Once developed according to his wishes, to build a high proportion of thermal weapons troops, then the Ming workshop-style production must develop into large-scale industrial production. Zhu Cihong vaguely remembered that before World War II, Japan was still a workshop-style production, and even military optical instruments were polished in small workshops, but whether that kind of special case could be learned, and how much the cost of learning would be. It's hard to estimate.
Zhu Cihong stood up silently, stood at the window, looked at the bleak autumn scenery outside, and was a little distracted.
"Your Highness," Liu Ruoyu whispered in Zhu Cihong's ear. "The owner and shopkeeper who were in high shaking knelt outside for four hours, and I am afraid that they will not be able to stand up."
Zhu Cihong came back to his senses at this time, remembering that someone reported last night that someone knelt at the gate to ask for guilt, but he didn't expect to be kneeling now. He didn't have the intention of punishing a few greedy businessmen, but he simply didn't take it to heart and completely forgot about it.
"When I said I wanted to buy shares, these people pretended to be deaf and dumb one by one, but now they know my door?" Zhu Cihong sneered.
Liu Ruoyu owed slightly, and said secretly in his heart: You said that when you were old, they didn't urge you afterwards, where did they dare to bother you?
"The conditions remain the same now." Zhu Cihong said: "You take the "Articles of Association" I wrote to talk to them, the total shares of Anmin Factory are 600,000 taels, one share and one tael of silver, and sell them 100,000 shares. In the future, when there is a profit, I will divide the money according to the shares, and I will not harm them according to the general practice in the market. If they don't have so much silver, then let them use their respective firms to convert into share capital, which is also a common share of one or two pieces of silver, and use the share capital to cash in silver. You asked Yao Tao to bring the two old account offices together, and they have experience in doing this. ”
Liu Ruoyu listened without the slightest obstacle and spoke out.
This is of course because Zhu Cihong said it clearly, but on the other hand, it is also after Longqing, which has the meaning of doing business for all people. The merchants, who originally belonged to the end of the four peoples, suddenly became noble and no longer inferior. Many families have spare money and cannot buy good land, preferring to get together and do business in partnership. Therefore, what the prince said is only one of many forms of partnership, and it is not a puzzling whimsy.
Liu Ruoyu took the financial account room to meet the proprietor of the earthquake, and relayed the meaning of the prince. The proprietor is the person who is responsible for paying the capital, and does not care about the affairs of the store, which is quite a bit of a major shareholder and legal representative in later generations. The person who is really in charge of affairs is the shopkeeper, but he can only give ideas to the owner on major issues, and cannot be the master.
This time the East Window incident happened, and the owner knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to come to the East Palace to plead. This is also a way out for the scribes of Shuntianfu to point out a way of life after they have enough money. As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not pursue it, it will be a small theft. If His Highness sends a thunderous wrath, then I am afraid it will be a bloody storm.
Zhu Cihong didn't feel that he had done anything terrifying, and he only heard that his reputation among the people was very high, and he was born from Taiwei Xingjun, but he forgot that "respect" and "fear" have always been two sides of the same coin. As the crown prince, you can forget the seven-pin master who was killed and set an example for the monkey, but as other officials, it is inevitable that there will be a sad sigh of the dead rabbit and the fox, and take it as a warning, and never dare to touch the dragon scales.
……
"Sure enough, I had to be heavily cut off a piece of meat." The proprietor came out of the outer mansion of the East Palace, looked back at the bright red wall, and his eyes were all red.
"Boss, I don't think it's a good thing." The shopkeeper followed behind without speaking.
Because this incident happened during his tenure, he somewhat felt that he had cheated the owner. To tell the truth, the material money saved by buying gunpowder from Anmin Factory over the years is a few hundred taels at most, and the prince has 100,000 taels of share capital to be purchased.
Out of this guilt, the shopkeeper kept silent, but at the same time gradually calmed down, trying to see the whole situation from a different angle. He suddenly found that it seemed that Donggong had used his power to oppress his group of grass people, but why wasn't it an opportunity for him to climb the dragon and the phoenix?
"The owner, if you have me and I have you with the Heavenly Family, we may be able to sell the fireworks to Nanjing!" The shopkeeper's words made the owner's eyes light up, and the tightly knit brows gradually relaxed. When the time comes, don't talk about Nanjing, where can you go to the boundary of the Ming Dynasty? Zhengao made money, that is, the crown prince made money, even the emperor would not have trouble with his own money!
It's just that......
The brows that had just been loosened by the owner were raised again, and he said in a low voice: "They are all people who eat people and don't spit out bones, I'm afraid that if we can't wait for that day, we will already have nothing to lose." ”
The light on the shopkeeper's face suddenly dimmed, and the whole world fell into darkness again. (To be continued......)
