Midile seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said perfunctorily: "No wonder the army under His Majesty is invincible. ”

Looking at the grenades, Li Yunxin was very kind, and said to Midile, "These grenades will be produced 100,000 first, maybe it can alleviate the difficulties of the arsenal, and by the way, when can you produce muskets, breech guns and breech guns can be." ”

Midile pointed to the rows of machinery and complained, "Your Highness, you are so anxious, it takes at least three months to teach a worker all the procedures, and at least half a year to learn to assemble a musket alone!" ”

Li Yunzhong asked, "Why do you want to teach all the workers all the procedures?" Wouldn't assembly line production be better! ”

"Assemblies? What is the matter with the production of guns under His Majesty? Is it necessary to bring in a small river for us to bathe? Midile was confused, looking at the dirty clothes and realizing.

Bathe? What is the matter with taking a bath, Li Yunzhong reacted for a long time and corrected: "The assembly line, as the name suggests, is that the product flows like flowing water, and each production unit only focuses on the work of a certain fragment to improve work efficiency and output, just like the production of guns, one person is responsible for producing a small part, another person is responsible for assembling a large part, and the last person is a complete cloth gun!" ”

Midile looked at Li Yunzhong blankly, thinking that this method was feasible, and then admired: "Your Majesty, you are really too smart, if you are a businessman, you will definitely become one of the greatest capitalists, and you can go down in history with this initiative." ”

Li Yunzhong automatically worried about sycophants and asked: "With assembly line production, you can produce fewer guns and cannons in a month?" In order to ensure quality. Be sure to make a mark on the parts and count the defective rate of each worker's production. ”

Midile after careful conversion. He replied: "You can recruit a large number of workers with assembly line production, if the supply of raw materials is sufficient. It can be officially produced after three months, and after half a year, it can produce 600 breech guns and 100 breech guns a month, of course, because the barrel of the Mini rifle is rifled, which must be operated by skilled workers, and only 50 can be produced in a month, and the production will slowly expand later, as for the cannons. I think Chinese craftsmen can produce independently! ”

Although Li Yun was very satisfied, he still urged: "We must produce as soon as possible under the premise of ensuring quality, and I will allocate you another 100,000 taels of silver to send people to Europe to purchase relevant equipment and talents." ”

Midile was pleasantly surprised: "Your Majesty! ”

Everyone left the arsenal, and Meng Sheng whispered to Zhang Suimou: "Can this foreign devil really produce tens of thousands of foreign guns a year?" He won't be coaxing the emperor! ”

Lin Daji was amazed by the equipment in the arsenal, shook his head and said: "This foreigner is an old man, he shouldn't be able to lie, and besides, Your Majesty is a hundred times smarter than you and me, how can you let foreign devils deceive you." ”

"Then we can be like the army of foreigners. All equipped with foreign guns and cannons, and they will no longer have to look at the faces of foreigners in the future, and if they dare to make irresponsible remarks, they will send troops to destroy him! Meng Sheng remembers that his father died of smoking opium. I don't have a good impression of foreigners at all.

Chang Dachun shook his head and sighed as he looked at the dense factories along the way, and said to Zhao Liewen: "What kind of system is this, men don't farm and collect grain at home." Women are not at home with husbands and children, but they are tired from working here. What a system!

The fertile land in the countryside is deserted and uncultivated. The tenant peasants of the landlord's family have also fled, and in the long run, how will the state collect taxes, how will the army fight without food, and how will the common people live! ”

Zhao Liewen couldn't imagine that there were thousands of people working in a garment factory on a few acres of land: "Can these owners make money?" The expenses of thousands of people are also tens of thousands of taels of silver a month, and if they can make money, these owners will not be rich enough to rival the country. ”

Chang Dachun said angrily: "Last time, the military department purchased 200,000 sets of clothes, and the expenditure of the household department reached 150,000 taels before and after. ”

150,000 taels, each person can produce 80 sets per month, 2,000 people can produce 16,000 sets per month, 32,000 sets of work day and night, and 7 months for 200,000 sets, Zhao Liewen exclaimed: "These businessmen have earned 50,000 taels from it, this ...... Your Majesty is too generous, and you don't collect taxes and post it upside down! ”

Chang Dachun pointed to the arsenal behind him and whispered: "I heard that in the future, the Ministry of War will purchase guns and let the Ministry of Household settle the bill, where do you say the money for this payment goes, and I don't see them return it to the Ministry of Households, will it make the emperor ......?"

"My lord said carefully, how could the emperor be such a person, these are not what we should discuss, if the arsenal dares to embezzle silver taels at that time, we must report to the emperor!" Zhao Liewen was worried that Li Yunzhong would be like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as the king of a country, he actually wanted to make money in business and compete with the people.

"The most worrying thing is that the landlords in the countryside also sell their land cheaply and set up workshops, Suzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Yangzhou, Changzhou, Huzhou, these places, the number of people in the city has surged, and the price of land has skyrocketed, compared with two years ago, the price of land has risen fivefold, the poor have no place to stand, and profiteers have taken the opportunity to hoard goods and live in strange places, endangering the locality, and the local officials have not dared to accept it, and have reported to the criminal department, and I have recently accepted no less than 50 cases." Zhao Liewen said worriedly.

Chang Dachun's eyes were firm: "Next time, we will jointly advise Your Majesty!" ”

Quanzhou, Fujian

Li Xuan is dressed in a military uniform, and most of his elegance has been consumed by the battles in the past few months, and his whole body exudes the atmosphere of marching, with a beard full of wind and frost, which makes people feel that he is a commander at first glance.

"Siege!" Li Xuan looked at the closed Quanzhou City, and ordered loudly to the 'Xuan' and 'Qi' camps behind him.

"Kill"

Li Shiqi commanded the artillery and muskets in front, and also shouted: "Open the cannon"

"Boom"

"Boom"

For a time, the city wall was filled with gunsmoke, and white smoke gradually covered the city wall.

"All the cannons are pointed at the wall, blast me open." Seeing that the siege troops had been knocked down, Li Shiqi shouted at the artillerymen and told them to continue firing.

"Liutian, let's attack again, the first army led by the marshal is on the way here, let those Guangxi Yankees see, not only they will fight!" Wang Kailin arranged a new siege formation and ran over to discuss with Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at the crumbling Quanzhou City and replied, "Okay! Then attack again, this time wait for the artillery to blast out all the shells, capture Quanzhou in one go, and capture Hechun alive! ”

Li Shiqi saw that there were not many shells left, so he hurriedly raised his flag to signal to the siege troops.

Li Xuan turned around and shouted: "Break through Quanzhou and capture Hechun alive!" Kill! (To be continued......)
