Chapter 446: Trading
Xiaguan Feng Youde see my lord! ”
Not long after, a round-faced fat man rushed to Xu Rui's signing room, grinned as soon as he entered the door, and asked Xu Rui for peace with a simple face.
Xu Rui smiled faintly: "You are the official of the Ministry of War who is responsible for supervising the production of firearms?" ”
"Exactly, Xia Guan was originally the Arsenal Clearance Division, and after the Holy Lord established the Divine Arsenal Clearance Division, he transferred the Lower Officials here to supervise the manufacture of firearms."
Feng Youde nodded again and again, the fat on his face trembled, which was quite appealing.
Xu Rui nodded: "How is the output of firearms during this time?" ”
Feng Youde said with a smile: "In the service of Lord Tuo, since the seventeenth year of Hongwei, the Ministry of War has successively purchased 26 Vulcan cannons, 33 city-breaking cannons, more than 46,000 shells of various types, and more than 139,700 grenades from the Galaxy Group.
At the end of last year, in accordance with the will of the Holy Lord, the Ministry of War purchased a firearms production factory from the Galaxy Group for 2.36 million taels for its own production.
So far, it has produced nine Vulcan cannons, 11 city-breaking cannons, 11,000 shells of various types, more than 40,000 grenades, and a total of 13,000 new mines, mines, and sky-beating mines. ”
Listening to him tell all the numbers in one breath like a treasure, Xu Rui nodded with satisfaction.
"I remember it so clearly, you are very serious."
Feng Youde smiled honestly again: "The firearms invented by adults are already related to the overall situation of the war, and at the small point it is the lives of countless soldiers, and to the big point it is the rise and fall of my Great Wei, so naturally it is not allowed to be careless."
To tell you that since the receipt of firearms, every artillery piece and every batch of ammunition has been personally inspected and accepted by the lower officials, and those who are not qualified will never be included in the treasurer, so please rest assured. ”
Hearing this, Xu Rui couldn't help but be impressed by this good-faced fat man.
"You can think so, this officer is very gratified, but there is no trivial matter in the army, especially the firearms matter involves the core development of our army, no matter how much attention is paid to it, from now on, every batch of firearms off the assembly line will be accepted by this officer and you together."
"Thank you, thank you, for your love, thank you!"
Feng Youde was not the slightest displeased when he heard this, but looked grateful, and sent Xu Rui to kowtow.
Xu Rui was surprised: "What are you thanking me for?" ”
Feng Youde scratched the back of his head, and smiled embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from your lord, you just know that the matter of firearms is too important, and the lower officials are walking on thin ice, and they don't dare to be sloppy at all."
But Xia Guan didn't know much about firearms, except for verification at the shooting range, he could only watch the rest of the time, and he was really worried that he would be fooled by the people below and poke out the big basket.
Well, now that there is an expert like an adult in charge, Xia Guan's heart is much more stable. ”
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, pointed at Feng Youde and said with a smile: "It turned out that I was expecting this official to carry the black pot for you, how can you be so cunning?" ”
Feng Youde smiled and didn't refute.
Xu Rui shook his head: "You are honest, this matter is also within the official's responsibility, even if there is a black pot to carry it, you will carry it, but you have to work hard, the official is too busy to do everything, if something goes wrong, the official will still come to you." ”
"Don't worry, sir!"
Feng Youde smiled like a red lotus: "Don't look at the wide body and fat body, but when it comes to errands, this official is not bad at all." ”
"Don't just talk about it!"
Xu Rui asked lightly: "You have been on an errand for so long, tell me what you think is wrong with firearms." ”
Feng Youde was stunned for a moment, and said with a slight smile: "Speaking of which, it's nothing else, it's just that after the new military factory is put into production, a new type of artillery will be built, and it is said that the power is several times greater than the original Vulcan and the two cannons that break the city."
At present, the military factory has begun to make intensive preparations, but the drawings including artillery and artillery shells have not yet been sent to the military department. ”
Xu Rui nodded: "Being able to notice this matter shows that you are indeed attentive, but the new artillery and corresponding ammunition have been classified as confidential and will not be made public for the time being, so you don't need to ask about this matter anymore, and when the time comes, the drawings and a full set of processes will naturally be sent to the Ministry of War." ”
In fact, this is Xu Rui's idea, in order to prevent the leakage of the most advanced process and minimize the intermediate links, the drawings are sent directly from the Galaxy Research Institute to the military factory, and no more than three people have mastered the full set of technology.
Feng Youde nodded and said, "The lower officials understand, then the lower officials will not ask about this matter in the future." ”
Xu Rui nodded, he was very satisfied with Feng Youde, and said with a smile: "The official knows almost everything about it, your errand is doing well, continue to work hard." ”
Feng Youde was overjoyed, the fat on his face trembled, and it seemed to give birth to a flower, thanked Xu Rui again and again, and finally took out a red locket from his arms like a trick and put it on Xu Rui's table.
"What is this?"
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment and asked puzzled.
Feng Youde said with a smile: "This is a special product of Xiaguan's hometown, and it is specially dedicated to Lord Liu Yi Liu, and it is troublesome for Lord Liu to hand it over." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xu Rui to react, he saluted, and slipped out of the signing room, and his fat body was as flexible as a rabbit.
Xu Rui opened the small box, and inside was a fat mountain ginseng, which looked at at least a hundred years old, and it was definitely not ordinary.
For Xu Rui, something like this worth thousands of taels is usually not taken to heart, but this thing is priceless and precious, even Xu Rui has never seen it, and it is said to be a gift for Liu Yi, without giving Xu Rui the slightest reason to refuse, which can be regarded as interpreting the way of gift-giving to the extreme.
"This Feng Youde is quite good at doing things."
Xu Rui muttered with a smile, carefully accepted this mountain ginseng, thinking that he would let his subordinates stew chicken at night and make up for the second elder.
Feng Youde walked out of Xu Rui's signing room, humming a little song all the way towards his own courtyard, the Divine Machine Arsenal Qing Officials Division is quite valued, and he, a foreigner, is also like an ordinary waiter, with his own independent office location.
Along the way, Feng Youde was radiant, and the people he met, whether they were small officials or high-ranking officials, all greeted him with a smile, without a little arrogance, and everyone felt that he was as kind as ever.
Walking all the way to the gate of the small courtyard, Feng Youde suddenly caught a glimpse of Director Wu of the Qing Officials Division with a coolie wearing a hat, as if he had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Oh, Director Wu, what are you?"
Feng Youde asked with a smile towards Chief Wu.
Director Wu said: "My Lord Feng, you can count it back, this border army sent an ordnance, saying that there is some problem, and please take a look at it yourself." ”
"Oh, and that kind of thing? Hurry up and carry it into the signing room! ”
Feng Youde suddenly became nervous when he heard this, and pointed to the signing room.
Director Wu hurriedly beckoned to the coolie, and the coolie picked up the flat shoulder and hurried into the door.
"Firearms are secret, you are guarding outside, and no one is allowed to enter without the permission of this official!"
When the two entered the door, Feng Youde gave an order to the two officials at the door.
When the little official got the order, he trembled and did not dare to disobey.
In the signing room, Feng Youde carefully closed the door and closed another layer of curtains, the smile on his face had long since disappeared, and by the time he had done all this, his face had completely cooled.
"How dare you find this?"
Feng Youde asked coldly, his cold tone and hideous expression were the same as when he saw Xu Rui.
Before Director Wu could speak, the coolie took off his hat first, only to see that he was wearing a flower-faced mask on his face, looking like a blue-faced ghost, and he was not inferior.
Feng Youde's pupils shrank when he saw this mask: "You actually came in person?!" ”
Hua Mian sneered: "If you don't come, you can't wait, what Lord Feng owes us!" ”
