Before he arrived at the General Bureau of Ordnance, Sun Yuanhua, who was on top of the dragon chariot, couldn't sit still, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to make all the new artillery you want to produce this time?" ”

"That's natural, the new artillery is extremely secretive, and naturally it has to be produced in-house from the inside out."

I saw that Sun Yuanhua hesitated a little and said: "Then does the imperial court have qualified iron materials for the new artillery?" ”

"Iron? As far as I know, all the iron materials used by the General Bureau of Ordnance are supplied by Xue Fengxiang himself through the back door of the Ministry of Industry, and it seems that even the silver money for the iron materials will be owed to the Ministry of Industry for a while. ”

"The iron material of the Ministry of Industry...."

Sun Yuanhua shook his head and didn't say anything more, he was going to wait until the General Bureau of Ordnance to take a look at the spot and then look for problems, after all, he knew a little bit about the cat in the middle of the iron material of the Ministry of Industry.

The guard of honor was soon placed at the door of the General Bureau of Ordnance again, but this time it was different from the surprise attack in the early morning, and Zhu Youzhen asked Wang Chengen to report early.

After all, one of these is to send talents to Xue Fengxiang, and the other is to enhance Sun Yuanhua's credibility from the side, that is, Zhu Youzhen, the emperor, to act as an endorsement of Sun Yuanhua's ability.

"Minister, Xue Fengxiang, greets the holy driver."

Bowing and saluting, Xue Fengxiang waited outside the gate early, ready to welcome the cannon casting talent that Zhu Youzhen had prepared for him.

But when Zhu Youzhen took Sun Yuanhua to take the dragon chariot, Xue Fengxiang's face not far away changed.

I secretly said in my heart, why did Your Majesty invite this guy.

Here I have to talk about Sun Yuanhua's stinky temper, as Sun Yuanhua, who advocates Western learning for use, is also extremely vigorous and resolute in his style of acting.

It's just that he hasn't been able to become an official for a long time, so not many people have heard of his name, and among them, Xue Fengxiang is relatively close because of his relationship with Xu Guangqi.

I also heard a little about his apprentice's style.

And Sun Yuanhua in history is also because he often has no one in his eyes and does not understand the relationship between the sleek life, which leads to making enemies everywhere, and when he was finally cut down by Emperor Chongzhen, no one dared to stand up and speak for him because of this.

As a result, a generation of Daming artillery experts finally ended up dying before they succeeded, which is embarrassing.

"Xue Aiqing, look who I brought to you."

Xue Fengxiang arched his hand: "The minister greets the emperor's holy drive, this Ruchen next to Your Majesty is not mistaken, it should be Sun Yuanhua, Lord Sun, right?" ”

"It's Sun Yuanhua down there."

The two looked at each other, and there was nothing else to say, Zhu Youzhen saw that the atmosphere suddenly froze a little, and pretended to be displeased and said: "I brought Master Sun here to help you build the newly established Artillery Department of the General Ordnance Bureau, why don't you Xue Fengxiang take people away if you don't like me." ”

However, Xue Fengxiang didn't like it anymore, and he had to admit that Sun Yuanhua's talent in artillery was much higher than him, not to mention that Zhu Youzhen had already said so.

Xue Fengxiang, who didn't dare to hold it up, had to give up his hand and said: "Weichen thanked Your Majesty, so I will take Your Majesty and Lord Sun to see the General Bureau of Weapons." ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but shake his head, although this Xue Fengxiang is talented, although he has the courage and loyalty to serve the country, but this strength is still a little worse, but as long as the work can be carried out smoothly.

Seeing that Sun Yuanhua obviously had a full interest in the General Bureau of Ordnance, Zhu Youzhen took the lead in entering the door of the General Bureau of Ordnance.

A group of people walked in the courtyard and said that it was a courtyard.

In fact, the scale of the General Bureau of Ordnance is not huge, it is true that this is the Huangzhuang originally, but the conditions of the Daming Huangzhuang after Zhu Youzhen are generally not much better.

At the beginning, Wang Gongchang was ordered to relocate, and everyone was originally happy, after all, the original boundary of Wang Gongchang was indeed unsatisfactory.

But when they arrived in the new place, the craftsmen were dumbfounded, and it could not be said that there was no room, nor could it be said that the tiles did not shelter from the rain, but a color of decay still came into everyone's eyes.

Later, Wang Chengen, who was in charge of Wang Gong's factory in the era, didn't say a word, picked up the hoe and looked for Wei Zhongxian, but didn't say a word.

"The emperor said that this is going to build a new Wang Gong factory, if you don't give money and don't send people, our family can go to work in the field in person."

Wei Zhongxian also didn't say a word after a wry smile, and the Chadong Factory specially hired people to Wang Gong Factory to demolish the original dilapidated houses and tiles, and the few barely usable ones were left to repair and repair the thatched houses to exert their residual heat.

As for the rest, all the land will be leveled and used by Wang Gong Factory.

Since then, under the strong intervention of Wei Zhongxian, the East Factory has worked hard from it, and there is the earliest relocated Wang Gong Factory, with the gradual expansion of production scale, the number of personnel continues to increase.

Later, the General Bureau of Ordnance formed together with the Military War Bureau has completely stepped onto a new level, not only that, but also the Tianhu Army, the Shuntianfu Ya Servant, and the Dongchang Factory Guard.

They jointly fortified the four corners around the General Ordnance Bureau, rotated them at the specified time, and guarded the General Ordnance Bureau, which Zhu Youzhen attached the most importance to, day and night.

"I've visited this General Bureau of Weapons twice a day, and I'm getting happier the more I walk on this road."

Xue Fengxiang saw the opportunity to interject: "With Your Majesty's care, this General Bureau of Weapons will definitely live up to the trust of the Holy Lord, and make this new artillery for the colleagues of the Heavenly Tiger Army as soon as possible." ”

"What Xue Aiqing said is extremely true, the current situation in Liaodong is complicated, this day the Tiger Army is drawn over there to fight the enemy, I always have no bottom in my heart, if I can develop this new artillery as soon as possible, this stone in my heart can land."

"Wechen should do his best."

However, this picture of kindness between the monarch and the minister came to an abrupt end when the group walked into the workshop.

At the beginning, Zhu Youzhen watched the craftsmen busy on the side and watched with relish, and encouraged Xue Fengxiang from time to time, but who expected Sun Yuanhua to become a processing case.

Picking up the barrel of a gun that was about to be used to assemble the Migne rifle, he shook his head uncontrollably.

This made Xue Fengxiang and the craftsman next to him angry, plus Xue Fengxiang had long heard that although Sun Yuanhua had some talents, he often relied on this to be unruly and unruly.

Seeing Sun Yuanhua pick up and put down one by one, he couldn't stop shaking his head.

I thought that Sun Yuanhua deliberately wanted to slander himself in front of the emperor, so he said to Sun Yuanhua: "Lord Sun seems to have an opinion on the new rifle barrel made by my General Bureau of Ordnance, why don't you put it forward and let the big guys listen to it and give some advice?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Youzhen was still stunned, and the craftsmen in charge of processing on the side finally couldn't help it.

actually commented on their craftsmanship here, and couldn't help but echo and said: "That's it, that's it, this adult still asks for guidance in the next two." ”
