The flintlock pistol is now invented, but it will be 1-240 years before it goes into production.

Wang Hongyu suggested that Liu Ruoyu go to the Ordnance Bureau, that is, to rectify corruption first, and then make flintlock pistols in batches.

It is also necessary to make breakthroughs in local industries and factory handicrafts in order to break through the problem of relying on a small number of masters and apprentices and inefficient craftsmen.

The first step has been laid out in this matter, and leaving the capital by yourself is the second step of layout.

At present, in addition to firearms such as bird guns and three-eyed guns, the Ordnance Bureau has matured the production technology of artillery such as tiger squat cannons, furlong machine guns, and general cannons.

Wang Hongyu In view of the major shortcomings that the iron cannon barrel must be cooled after heating during the battle, Li Tiezhu modified the Franc cannon and used the heat dissipation water tank to cool the cannon barrel at the fastest speed.

But the radiator tank still does not have the ideal lightweight material.

Due to the lack of steel rolling mills and hydraulic presses, the thin iron sheets could not be solved in the near future, and the several iron water tanks that Li Tiezhu organized to beat by manpower at that time were cumbersome and labor-intensive.

At this time, a tarpaulin made of rubber coarse cloth already existed in Nanyang, and this cloth was coated with fireproof stone powder to make a water bladder.

This kind of tarp can be made into a ring hose, which can be quickly dissipated by filling water on the barrel, of course, it is not as good as the iron sleeve for heat dissipation.

This also solves the heat dissipation of the Franc cannon.

The Fran cannon is also known as the sub-cannon, the mother cannon can be loaded with several sub-cannons in succession, although the air tightness is not good, but the rate of fire is very good.

was used by Wang Hongyu to create the effect of line columns.

The sub-mother cannon has a much higher rate of fire than other guns, and is also more likely to overheat, in order to speed up the heat dissipation, it can be constantly filled and discharged, and even connected to a large water bag placed on the ground to convection itself.

In the future, the Hongyi cannon will also let Liu Ruoyu and Xu Guangqi find relevant craftsmen in Fujian, Guangdong, and Haojingao at this time, and reserve them in terms of manpower.

In addition to the craftsmen of the War Bureau, in addition to the craftsmen from Fujian, Guangdong, and Haojingao, the original craftsmen can also go out

When he came to the Military Bureau, he also had to "dig the foot of the wall" and bring more skilled workers to Yunyang to expand the industries under his direct control.

Through Liu Ruoyu, those who have good skills, are single, have no relationship with other forces, are excluded by workers or superiors, and those who are attracted by triple wages are recruited to Yunyang for development.

The people who brought it learned the existing skills of the War Bureau, and 50 gun craftsmen from the War Bureau were also transferred to communicate with them on the spot, taking away as much experience and technology as possible.

With Liu Ruoyu's support, the people of the War Bureau asked Wang Hongyu to take Zhou Yijie and Li Tiezhu to select personnel.

As long as the remuneration is sufficient, everyone's income is guaranteed, no one refuses, and the number of personnel is exceeded, and even the three old people who are responsible for technical guidance poach one.

As for the three-eyed skilled worker, Wei Zhongxian asked Wei Zhongxian to help from the Ordnance Bureau, and 10 more people were recruited.

When the brother-in-law and cousin went to choose someone, Wang Hongyu was thinking about the next step.

60 skilled craftsmen, more than no less.

Actually, it's still not much.

Now that Dora people are leaving, it is not realistic, and the education and training in the back are the key.

At present, these craftsmen in the War Bureau are trained according to the way that the master leads the apprentice and passes on the help.

From later generations, of course, I know that this kind of master-apprentice system is relatively inefficient, and the division of labor and cooperation is not standardized.

In order to greatly improve efficiency and greatly accelerate the training of junior technicians, it is necessary to have basic education, technical education, systems engineering, as well as standardization and assembly lines.

Each of these must be missing.

Education is developed, but industry is not good, which will cause a significant brain drain, and at worst, the knowledge and technology crowd will be concentrated and unemployed, causing huge hidden dangers.

The industry is developed, but education is not good, so it is not much different from the status quo of Daming.

For example, silk, tea, porcelain, cotton, art, etc., in this era with technological content and high profits, were coveted by some capitalists, and later all the technology was stolen and copied in other places.

In addition, the other party has an education bonus, breeding improvement, technical improvement, and standardized production, and it will take 100 years to complete replication and transcendence, and finally occupy the upper echelons of these industries.

Even if education and industry are developed, standardization, assembly lines, and systems engineering are needed.

This is the improvement of efficiency and quality, and it is also the key to accelerating development, otherwise the training cycle is still very slow just by relying on the master to lead the apprentice and the school to carry out education.

Wang Hongyu made a preliminary blueprint.

Starting from the three types of furniture products, glass products, and guns and firearms, we will promote the handicraft industry in the workshop, implement division of labor and cooperation, and initially build assembly line production, so as to greatly improve production efficiency and the training of skilled technicians.

Furniture, glass, and guns correspond to three different groups in the market, namely the common people, the wealthy and the arms business.

It's the first two that really make money.

Then the second step is to engage in more money-making industries, basic education, and technology research and development.

The third step is the science that is most scarce.

Science and technology are generally linked, but they are not the same.

To give a simple example, the technology of the Ming Dynasty at this time is relatively good, the technical field is relatively wide, and some industries have a monopoly on technology. However, there is only traditional science, not modern science.

Mathematics, physics, and chemistry, these three things in later generations are called learning well and not being afraid to go all over the world, and they are all huge shortcomings at this time.

Let's start with the furniture industry.

I have thought of a brand called "Yijiajia", starting with low-cost, standardized lightweight bamboo and wood furniture, and will definitely become the world's largest universal furniture brand after my own operation.

In ancient times, I did not hesitate to engage in "Yijia Family".

The northern suburbs of Tongzhou.

Jinnige and others came as promised.

And this time it wasn't just the missionaries themselves, they brought with them the soldiers, students, and merchants who followed them.

As usual, these people were forbidden to operate openly in the area around the capital.

But Wang Hongyu found a reason for them, and they were all included in the ranks of businessmen and craftsmen, saying that they were recruiting firearms craftsmen by themselves.

In addition, with Xu Guangqi covering for himself, no one in the court directly intervened for the time being.

However, Yang Lian and other officials must have collected these as evidence of the crime little by little, right?

Just what the doctor ordered.

On the school field that has been prepared for a long time.

The 3,000 Hunhe Army had already lined up in formation, lined up in a phalanx in the order of infantry, artillery, and cavalry, and was ready to be reviewed.

Wang Hongyu also set up temporary two-story stands.

Xu Guangqi, Hong Chengchou, Ai Youzhi and other ministers who had a slight intersection, and missionaries such as Jinnige, Bi Fangji, and Long Huamin all stood in the stands.

There are also more heavyweight figures such as Huang Kezhang and Zou Yuanbiao, but it is really inconvenient to come to the place.

Wang Hongyu, Zhang Mingshi, and Qin Minping stood at the front of the stands, inspecting the parade horses as generals.

Zhou Yijie, as the introducer of the review, said aloud to everyone: "This is the first time that this army has been reorganized and reviewed after the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, and it is still immature at this time, but it will continue to be trained and strengthened in the future, and the number of troops will be replenished in accordance with His Majesty's will!" ”

"Okay, ready to start."

Wang Hongyu gave an order, and the Hunhe Army was about to show the initial effect of joint training.
