Of course, Wang Hongyu wants to use natural gas, and it is still used at present, and it will be widely promoted in the future, and galvanized pipes and plastic pipes will be made first.

This estimate is difficult to achieve.

There have been technological innovations in both the production and military aspects.

The cutter of high-carbon steel is easy to break, but it is simple to make, and some safety protection needs to be done when processing parts, which can only be so at present, which is nothing more than a shorter time to replace the tool.

For example, Li Tiezhu proposed that ceramic cannonballs should be made with copper rings with screws, and they should be tightened after loading gunpowder and iron pins.

Of course, the sand turning mold is finer, and it can be made of cast iron and cast copper. It is not processed with a lathe, but the barrel and other parts must be processed with a lathe.

Machining must implement a standardized system, because supporting production is the inevitable product of assembly line operations. A worker or a lathe can only produce several parts, and even a part has to go through several processes.

Another advantage of standardization is that whether it is guns, industrial machinery, farm tools, or daily necessities, when damaged, it is often one or two parts that are localized. Product standardization has been implemented, and only some parts need to be replaced.

In this way, the service life of the product is increased, the economic burden of the user is reduced, and the waste of resources is reduced.

You can also build more parts processing plants, so that it is much more convenient to buy and replace, and it can also allow more people to work, increase family income, and increase social wealth.

Another advantage is to increase the proportion of technical personnel, improve the technological level of the nation, promote the economic development of the region, stimulate the people to learn scientific and cultural knowledge, and improve the cultural quality of the entire nation.

With standardized regulations, there is a bottom-up organization method, there is a lot of division of labor and cooperation, and the residents and production workers have the opportunity to participate in management, carry out technical exchanges, and have a good learning atmosphere.

Residents and workers are both producers and managers, and their performance is linked to efficiency, and their enthusiasm for production has increased for their own production and management.

Before Wang Hongyu inspected, he had already written down the merits of the main officials and generals in the southwest region one by one.

Emperor Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian have not issued a new batch of appointments, and they are actually waiting for news from Wang Hongyu.

Which officials are promoted and what official positions they are in will be referred to in terms of his opinions.

Of course, Wang Hongyu thought it through one by one, and before inspecting this batch of tuntians, he had already played the imperial court.

Calculate the time, and it is estimated that there will be a reply soon.

Sure enough, a few days later, the latest appointment from the imperial court arrived.

"Wang Hongyu, Marquis of Dingyuan, has made great contributions to pacifying the southwest, and it is urgent to stabilize the provinces and restore order, and continue to serve as the governor of Sichuan, Guizhou, Huguang, Yunnan, and Guangxi, and concurrently serve as the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guihuguang.

It is necessary to repair roads, strengthen the connectivity of the provinces, prepare the armed forces of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Sichuan, remove the influence of the two extremely vassals of Lu'an, develop and build military cantonments according to local conditions, adjust the status quo of the Xuanwei Division, and stabilize the prefectures and counties in various localities."

This appointment is equivalent to a comprehensive endorsement of Wang Hongyu.

It is also Zhu Youxiao who expects that the power of the southwest can help Daming tide over the current difficulties and provide support for Daming Zhongxing.

Originally, I wanted to promote Wang Hongyu to duke, so that he would not be lower than the Duke of England, the Duke of Chengguo, and the Duke of Qianguo of the Mu family in Yunnan.

Wang Hongyu refused.

First of all, Dingyuan Marquis is the glory of the ancestors, and it has just been restored at this time, and its reputation should be spread again.

Then he valued the real power of the southwest more than the reputation of the duke. It is good to unite them by maintaining the identity of juniors in front of the major martial arts, at least it will not directly push them to the side of the civil officials, so as to avoid letting the major martial artists and civil officials regard themselves as opponents.

The most important thing, as expected, Gao Panlong's gang will definitely be looking for trouble.

It is estimated that this time it will not be a few officials, but all those landlords who have been hit by themselves, who are jealous of their rise, whose interests are threatened, and who are conservative and stubborn.

"It's just insects~"

Strategically, Wang Hongyu despises these scum that obstruct the wheel of history.

In terms of tactics, it attaches great importance to it, and plans to arrange manpower to guard against them.

Everyone else is not afraid, only Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou are bent on being Zhengchen, and their positions are impossible to change, but they want to see what they will do this time.

"Yang Lian, Yang Lian, last time you released a signal to attack me honestly, how would you start~"

As soon as he came to Daming, he had a conflict with Yang Lian because of misunderstandings and positions.

This is really a fateful opponent......

You can't kill them like Wei Zhongxian, that would be right in the middle, not to mention adding a lot of unnecessary enemies, and helping them to leave their names in history.

He can't do this kind of thing himself, and on the other hand, he doesn't need to spend too much energy on such a trivial thing as him.

Because there are so many important things to do.

Under his own planning, Cai Fuyi was promoted to the left squire of the military department, and at the same time transferred to the governor of Guangdong.

The position of governor was not permanent at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but was temporarily established under special circumstances. When the general mission is accomplished, no more governors are appointed to succeed them.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the governor was permanent.

The governor of Guangdong was originally not of high status, but with the growth of Guangdong's economy and population, as well as the superiority of the sea, his status gradually increased.

From the governor of Yunyang to the governor of Guangdong, he was actually promoted.

In the future, there will also be a governor, which was temporarily established in the Ming Dynasty, opening a precedent for the prefect-governor-governor of the Qing Dynasty in history.

Cai Fuyi is a native of Kinmen, Fujian, and is familiar with the situation on the southeast coast, so he can bring the resources of his hometown Fujian over in Guangdong.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Guangdong and Fujian also had a similar situation where officials from Sichuan and Guizhou attacked each other because of port trade and other reasons.

Cai Fuyi's contribution this time is extremely great, and his prestige is second only to himself, and he can go to Guangdong to serve as a warning from some officials in Sichuan and Guizhou to stop and bridge this trend.

One more point.

I remember that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the grain came from Huguang, but most of the taxes came from the northwest, not from the extremely developed Jiangsu and Zhejiang, nor from Guangdong and Jiangxi, which had already achieved development results.

It seems absurd, the rich and developed regions do not collect it, and the poorer the places, the more taxes are raised.

Of course, this is the operation of a large group of officials for the interests of their hometown and their own families.

This group of civil officials can be governed, and Cai Fuyi is just a civil official who can offend people, and he can't defend his family through this kind of operation.

Therefore, he led the neighboring Huguang, Guizhou and Guangxi, and Cai Fuyi ruled the rich households who were disobedient and did not pay taxes in Guangdong~

In the next step, Guangdong still has a lot of momentum, and it can seize the opportunity of the first globalization at the end of the Ming Dynasty and rise in an all-round way in one fell swoop.

Cai Fuyi can also bring Fujian, which has made a good start, with him.

This is what Wang Hongyu has to rely on for the most powerful civil officials around him.

Cai Fuyi was promoted from the governor of Yunyang to the left servant of the military department and the governor of Guangdong, and the governor of Yunyang needed to be supplemented.

Under his own selection and Xu Guangqi's matchmaking, Bi Maokang was promoted to the governor of Yunyang.
