After Xiao Zhengtai led Han Xin and Wang Li out, he continued to inspect other industries and met Huang Yuan at the steel mill.

Yingzheng Lao had money in his hands, and really ordered the construction of a few more railways.

didn't even plan the route, so he ordered Huang Yuan to urge the steel mill to make as much steel as possible!

"Little boy, the lower official is planning to report to you......!"

Huang Yuan saluted respectfully, then made a bitter face, and continued: "There are too many places that need steel in Daqin, and Your Majesty also requires the steel mill to increase production, but the scale of the steel mill is not possible at all, what can I do?" ”

After speaking, he spread his hands and was very helpless.

"Steelmaking plants may meet civilian demand?"

Xiao Zhengtai looked at a few huge furnaces and asked the busy craftsmen.

"That's pretty much it!"

Huang Yuan nodded.

"Then build another steel mill of the same size!"

"The same size?"

Huang Yuan was stunned for a moment.

You know, the current steelmaking plant has been expanded and expanded, and the scale has been quite large.

"That's right! At this time, the people's demand for steel has just risen, and the demand will be greater in the future......! ”

Xiao Zhengtai nodded and continued: "Besides, in addition to the people, the imperial court wants to build railroad tracks, trains, steamships, etc., all of which are inseparable from steel, not to mention that more machines will be produced in the future, all of which require the support of steel!" ”

"Yes...... To build such a large steel mill, I am afraid that these people under the hands of the lower officials alone will not be able to do it, and the Ministry of Industry must help it! ”

Huang Yuan is in charge of the general as a supervisor, and there are many skilled craftsmen under his hands.

But they have all been assigned to various factories by him, and if they are all pulled out, the factories will be paralyzed, and the gains will outweigh the losses!

"It's okay, just go back and talk to Old Man Feng!"

Xiao Zhengtai waved his hand nonchalantly.

After all, it's not the first time that craftsmen from the Ministry of Labor have been hired to build factories.

Every time, they will be given double salaries, and Feng Quji and the craftsmen are also happy to take such a job!

"That's good, when I turn around, I will order people to recruit workers, and strive to recruit and train steelmaking craftsmen when the factory is built!"

"Hmm!"

Xiao Zhengtai nodded, and under the leadership of Huang Yuan, he took a turn in the steel mill.

After the tour, we went to the arsenal with him!

At this time, the arsenal was also expanded again and again.

The production of artillery is in one separate area, and the production of ammunition is in another.

There is also an area dedicated to the training of artisans!

After turning around, I found that everyone's operations were very standardized, and they all came according to his requirements!

And there are no cigarettes in this era, which greatly reduces the safety hazards!

"Look at this drawing!"

After pausing, Ying Feiyu took out a stack of drawings from his arms and handed them to Huang Yuan.

Let him and the craftsmen behind him take a look and see if he can make it!

He has already seen this drawing, and with Daqin's current technology, it shouldn't be a big problem!

"Hair-colored guns?"

After Huang Yuan took the drawing, he read the three big characters on the drawing, and raised his head suspiciously.

"That's right! It's so much more powerful than a crossbow, it's almost instantaneous, and it fires thousands of bullets per quarter of an hour......! ”

Xiao Zhengtai introduced it simply, "Its manufacturing process is not difficult, but in the manufacturing process, a lot of copper and iron are required, which is why this son is trying his best to double the expansion of the steel mill!" ”

Steel and brass are required for the production of the wool gun, and with the addition of cartridge cases, the demand for metal is even greater.

Bullets are consumables that require a constant supply of steel and brass, so how can we do without expanding the steel mill?

In addition to Xianyang, he also plans to build a few in other counties of Daqin, so as to reduce the cost of transporting ore!

"Well, according to the drawings, it's really not a big problem to build it!"

Huang Yuan simply flipped through a few pages and nodded.

"I'm a good girl, such a little gadget, can you hit and die? That's amazing! ”

"Let's not talk about this first, didn't you listen to the little boy's introduction just now? If this thing were made, it would be able to fire a thousand bullets per quarter of an hour, which is terrifying! ”

"Yes, if you go into battle to kill the enemy before, you have to cut it one by one! Well, now, such a gadget can sweep away thousands of armies in a quarter of an hour! ”

"Haha! With such a weapon, if I go out again in the future, the chances of winning will be even greater! ”

"Well, we have to build it in the shortest possible time!"

"Yes, yes......!"

Thinking of this, the craftsmen were immediately full of energy.

The cannon is suitable for siege, and the ground bud is suitable for ambush, but there must be some vacancies.

Some of those who are lucky will break through this obstacle and come to the army!

I have always used archers to resist before, but I really don't even have bows and arrows, so I let the soldiers do it with real swords and guns!

After the hair color gun was made, each soldier was given a one.

On the battlefield, after the bombardment of the artillery, it was the hair-colored guns that went into battle, sweeping away those fish that slipped through the net, so that the casualties of the soldiers were minimized!

"Little boy is really a whimsical idea, we deal with these ammunition every day, why didn't we think of it?"

Huang Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a little shame.

"You can't be blamed for this, you have too many things to do every day, where is the time to innovate?"

Xiao Zhengtai waved his hand.

From the initial invention to the first hair-colored gun, the gun has gone through hundreds of years of development.

If they can study it so quickly, it will really be a god, and those great scientific researchers in later generations will waste brain cells!

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Huang Yuan hurriedly gave a salute.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Little boy, rest assured......!"

Huang Yuan nodded and continued: "A few days ago, I heard from the Ministry of Industry that the first railway in Daqin is about to be repaired, and in a few days, the train will be able to gallop on the tracks!" ”

"Really?"

Ying Feiyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He had been resting in the palace for two days after he came back, and he had just taken a spin when he heard the news, and he almost jumped up with joy.

The first railway in Daqin went straight to Yanmen County.

I think that when he went north, he really sat in a carriage for more than ten days, and even if it was modified, it almost broke his old waist upside down!

Now, after breakfast, board the train, play a few rounds of mahjong and sleep again, and open your eyes to Yanmen County.

It's cool to think about!

Finally, we can get rid of the backward means of transportation such as horse-drawn carriages!

"Xia Guan also heard from the Ministry of Works, but it shouldn't be wrong!"

"Okay! This son is going to find Old Man Feng! ”

Hearing such good news, Ying Feiyu ran away.

Han Xin and Wang Li were caught off guard, and hurriedly chased after them, and the three of them took a carriage to the Ministry of Industry!
