"Your Majesty, the minister is wrong, and the minister retracts what he just said......"

The minister who wanted to show off his sense of existence instantly compared, Nima asked the old man to be in charge of the Ordnance Bureau, and the number one leader of the Ordnance Bureau was only the sixth grade, what is the difference between this and degrading the official? The old man admits his mistake, can't he take back what he just said? Or the emperor, you are wise and martial, long live long live.

Zhu Jian just smiled slightly, he didn't plan to pursue it, his original intention was just to scare the guy who didn't know what to do, this matter has been revealed, he can change his mistakes, he is still a good boy, of course, if there is really a hard and stinky diehard guy who wants to be the root of, he doesn't mind sending him to stir, the leader of the Weapons Bureau is destined to be overhead, with no power, no power, no oil and water.

The idea of this pit man was thought up by Song Xiance, to retreat as advance, he had already figured out the faces of those pretentious civil officials, and his mouth screamed louder than anyone else, but it was not beneficial, or it was not cost-effective, you let them do it, and all kinds of excuses to ensure that they would die and refuse to go.

This matter was handled so smoothly, Zhu Jian still used the procrastination trick, waiting for Ruan Dacheng to come to Beijing to stir up the situation, he had hinted to Wang Chengen and asked him to sell the news to Ruan Dacheng's friends in the court, I believe that this will, Ruan Dacheng is hurrying up and rushing to Beijing.

See it clearly, the news is sold, Zhu Jian's heart is very dark, this "secret" news asks for 100,000 taels, who made Ruan Dacheng a rich man, I'm really sorry for his identity as a rich man if he doesn't extort a little, Wang Chengen doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, he pays the money with one hand and delivers the goods with the other, and the silver is paid in advance by Ruan Dacheng's friend in the DPRK and China, anyway, he will be reimbursed after Ruan Dacheng comes to Beijing.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Jian immediately pretended to be a eunuch and sneaked out of the palace, this time, he was going to the Gunpowder Bureau, however, this time the situation was much beyond the expectations of Zhu Jian, Wang Chengen and others, they just slipped out of the palace, and the plainclothes of the Dongchang had come to report secretly, and the officials of the Gunpowder Bureau had knelt on the ground outside the palace gate, pleading guilty, and even spit out the dirty silver that was greedy, trembling and waiting for the emperor to deal with it.

Although Zhu Jian acted in a low-key manner, the movement of the Ordnance Bureau was still very noisy, a few heads were dropped, and all the family property of the convicts was confiscated, and it spread all over the Beijing Division in just one night.

"Let them kneel first."

Zhu Jian snorted coldly, these guys are quite shrewd, they know how to play the game of guilt, and they also spit out a small part of the dirty silver that is greedy to save their lives, they can't admire it if they don't want to, for the sake of taking the initiative to confess their mistakes, they can not cut off their heads, but they spit out too little dirty silver, at least they can squeeze out several times and ten times, and he is really losing money now.

He asked Wang Chengen to send people to secretly investigate the family property of those confessed officials, so that he could confiscate the dirty silver according to the approximate amount of their family property, and at the same time prevent them from secretly transferring their property.

In fact, a careful check of the account can find out all kinds of problems, the most powerful thing is to compare the book data with the actual data provided by those craftsmen, and immediately have nothing to hide, plus those who are betrayed outside the palace gate, those who hold a fluke mentality, and do not admit their guilt like a ball that has been punctured, they wilted on the spot, knelt down in a panic and confessed, crying, and begging the emperor for mercy.

This will know that crying and sparing your life, why did you go in the first place?

For this kind of nasty guy, Zhu Jian has never been soft, raiding his home, clicking, to set an example, is there anyone who is not afraid of death? I feel like I've cut my head a little less.

In three days, Zhu Jian swept through the arsenals such as the Weapons Bureau, the Gunpowder Bureau, and the Armor Bureau, cut off the heads of more than a dozen corrupt officials, and secretly swallowed more than 2 million taels of silver, and the amount confiscated was only about 200,000 taels, successfully holding the arsenal firmly in his hands, but in the eyes of the civilian clique headed by the Donglin Party, he also bore the infamy of a petty tyrant who killed indiscriminately.

Little tyrant?

With Jinyiwei and Dongchang as the eyes and ears, Zhu Jian naturally knows that he has the nickname of the little tyrant, he doesn't care about it, the tyrant is the tyrant, as long as you are afraid, hehe.

Bang, bang, bang......

There was a banging gunfire in the palace, it was Zhu Jian testing the gun, he was playing happily, but the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were so frightened that their faces were pale, their legs trembled, and they were also nervous Wang Chengen and Song Xiance who were accompanying them.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the musket was so famous that the soldiers were reluctant to use the gun, what if the chamber was blown up and the emperor was injured?

Zhu Jian was full of confidence in this, and after the severe rectification, the Ordnance Bureau was no longer like before, and the muskets made were all high-cost and inferior products, and all the guns made now were excellent muskets that could be used more than 3,000 or 4,000 times, and the cost remained the same.

Although the production mode of flowing water is adopted, due to the limitation of scientific and technological level and other reasons, the output of fine muskets is still very low, only a little higher than before, Zhu Jian is also helpless about this, and the backwardness of steel smelting technology is also an important factor.

Because of the effect of his butterfly wings, some things that were introduced from the West appeared many years later, such as the quenching and processing method of brass and bronze, and the addition of a certain proportion of zinc or tin to red copper to produce brass or bronze.

Brass has good ductility, low hardness, corrosion resistance, not easy to rust, can be processed by various cold plastics, is the main material for the manufacture of guns and shells, brass shell is Qisan brass, with a zinc content of 30%.

The manufacture and use of brass cartridge shells is a matter of the future, in the case of firearms is still very backward, this thing can only be put aside, bronze can be used now, bronze is wear-resistant, can be widely used in bearings, gears and other wear-resistant parts.

Some simpler and more sophisticated measuring instruments, more sophisticated manpower, hydraulic machine tools, and drilling machines have also begun to be developed by the newly established Science and Technology Institute under his guidance, and are currently being mass-produced and put into various production departments.

The establishment of the Academy of Science and Technology has really caused a lot of shock, the blacksmiths who can enter the Academy of Science and Technology, the lowest level is the member, and they enjoy the benefits slightly lower than that of the seventh-grade officials, and several vice presidents enjoy the benefits of the sixth-grade officials, so that the blacksmiths who have not been selected are very red-eyed, and what stimulates the nerves of all the blacksmiths and all the nerves is that all the members of the Academy of Science and Technology have been awarded the title of Captain of the Cloud Horse, although there is no real power, and he does not enjoy the false title of Fenglu, but it is a proper official.

In these years, being an official is the patent of scholars, ordinary people still wash and sleep, it's okay to YY in a dream, but now it's really a dream come true, and the blacksmith can also be an official, can it not make people crazy?

What's even more crazy is that the Son of Heaven decreed that local officials can recommend skilled craftsmen with outstanding ability to go to Beijing for assessment, if admitted, officials enjoy the merit of recommendation, and skilled craftsmen can also go to the Jinyi Guards in various places to sign up, and after passing the preliminary assessment, they will be escorted into Beijing for assessment by the Jinyi Guard, and those who pass will stay in Beijing for employment, and those who fail to pass can also join the Beijing Division's arsenal to work, or return to their hometowns.

After the news came out, blacksmiths and craftsmen all over the country, all of whom had a skill, were playing with their lives and striving to obtain the qualification to enter Beijing, and those who had obtained the qualification to go to Beijing were secretly grinding their fists, preparing for good performance, and striving to enter the Academy of Science and Technology.

This holy decree has virtually improved the social status of skilled workers such as craftsmen and blacksmiths, and has been greatly supported by the people.

Zhu Jian's series of reforms still suffered great resistance from the civilian-bureaucratic clique headed by the Donglin Party, and the price he paid was two quite important departmental official positions, but he thought it was worth it, and rejuvenating the country with science and technology was also the king.

There is a pay, there must be a return, and the return is many, he won the loyalty of the world's craftsmen and blacksmiths, and in the eyes of these craftsmen and their families, the Son of Heaven is a great king.

The same grateful, allegiance, and high morale of the scientific research elites are according to the drawings provided by Zhu Jian, is developing a front-loading spiral rifled gun and a rear-loading flintlock gun, the shortcomings of the front-loading firearm are too lazy to describe, but there is no way, according to the current level of science and technology, can only take its time.

Next, Zhu Jian began to think about laying off employees.
