"Before this summer, I hope you will be able to build thirty-six Heavenly Apocalypse Emperor Golden Guns."

"I'll have to load another 6,000 usable breech-loading guns."

"No matter how you get it, you must complete this task, if you don't have enough money, just tell me, I will naturally give it to you."

"If I don't have a silver tael, even if I sell this palace, I will make it up for you."

Sun Yuanhua was kowtowing, and determination could be seen in his eyes.

The etiquette of the Ming Dynasty was not so heavy, but at this time he was extremely religious.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if Weichen can't do these things before next summer, come and see you."

Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction, a smile appeared on his face again, and he personally helped this Sun Yuanhua up.

"I believe in you, of course, but it's not enough on your own, you'll tell those craftsmen later."

"As long as I make a good musket, I will give them a reward of ten taels of silver, and if I don't build a cannon, I will give them a reward of one hundred taels of silver."

"A few of them are involved, just a few people."

Sun Yuanhua was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, you must be too kind to those craftsmen."

Although this Sun Yuanhua can also be a technical nerd, he was born in this era after all, and he still has the limitations of this era.

He thinks that the reward given by Zhu Youxiao is too high.

If it were someone else, Sun Yuanhua didn't bother to explain?

But this Sun Yuanhua is a talent he intends to focus on cultivating, and he will definitely be of great use in the future.

So Zhu Youxiao didn't mind, and told him about the Tao here.

"Do the math yourself, even if it's such a high reward, but six thousand rifles and thirty-six cannons, it's only a reward of 100,000 taels of silver."

"I can still take out the 100,000 taels of silver."

"But these 6,000 muskets, and 36 cannons, are incomparably more useful to me."

Zhu Youxiao left the arsenal.

Sun Yuanhua sent Zhu Youxiao away, and it was not until Zhu Youxiao's back had disappeared into the distance that he turned around and returned to the arsenal.

Sun Yuanhua announced all the measures that Zhu Youxiao told him directly in front of the craftsmen of the arsenal.

The craftsmen of the arsenal, most of whom were directly craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry before, have never seen such a good thing.

Generally, the officials above eat and wipe clean, and the people below them can only get a little loose silver to survive.

But now His Majesty actually said that as long as every qualified musket is made, they will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and if they don't build a cannon, Zhu Youxiao will give them a reward of one hundred taels of silver, what an exciting thing!

Although the matter of building guns and cannons cannot be done by one person, it often requires the cooperation of several people.

But even if this is calculated, then their treatment is quite good.

The enthusiasm of the craftsmen has instantly increased by several notches.

There were even some craftsmen who took the initiative to ask for overtime, and if it weren't for the poor vision at night, which led to a huge increase in the failure rate of the barrel, these people would have been able to work all night.

The next day.

Lu Xiangsheng took Jinyi Wei and Xu Xianchun to the homeless settlement outside the city.

At this time, there were many gathering points for these displaced people near the capital.

It stands to reason that no homeless people are allowed in the capital, and all homeless people who enter the city will be driven away.

These displaced people had no choice but to build some simple shacks on some open land outside the capital to survive.

But the life of this homeless person can also be said to be very difficult.

People from all over the country flocked to the capital, originally thinking that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no matter how difficult it was, they could find a livelihood, at least survive.

But in the capital, where did you get so much livelihood!

They couldn't even enter the capital, so they would be driven out by the officials and soldiers who entered the city.

If you don't obey the dispatch, you can't say that these soldiers of the Beijing camp will be beaten to death with water and fire sticks.

That is, he was afraid of making trouble in the capital, so he reluctantly set up some soup kitchens outside the capital.

Perhaps there were also benevolent wealthy businessmen in the capital who helped raise some food and set up a few soup kitchens, but there were too many displaced people, and most of them could not make ends meet every day, and most of them could not last long.

Even with the porridge shed of the Yamen, the food of these displaced people is definitely not optimistic.

Lu Xiangsheng and Jinyiwei knew Xu Xianchun together, and came to a porridge shack.

The little official in charge of soup kitchen, when he saw the two people opposite, one was wearing the clothes that a high-ranking official should have, and the other was directly wearing a brocade Wei Feiyu suit, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly came up to give a salute.

"Subordinate Jia Heng, I have seen two superiors, what advice do these two superiors have?"

The little official in charge of the soup kitchen was also a little curious in his heart, wasn't the civil official always an official who had always been with Jinyiwei, and he would never be able to pee in a pot?

Why did these two people in front of them hook up together.

The fact is that even the civil officials of the eunuch party have to take care of a bit of decency, and they are not willing to have too close contact with this brocade guard, at least they are not willing to appear in public together.

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "I am Lu Xiangsheng, the left attendant of the military department, this is Xu Tongzhi, the Jinyi guard, you are busy with your affairs, don't worry about us." ”

The brocade guard next to him, knowing Xu Xianchun, didn't even say anything, as if he was very cold, don't provoke me.

The little official Jia Heng didn't dare to be verbose in front of the two of them anymore, so he hurriedly retreated, commanded his servants, and continued to give porridge.

Lu Xiangsheng came to the porridge shack, looked at the officials, and made porridge into the bowls of these people.

He saw that most of the so-called porridge water only had water, and he didn't see much rice.

This Lu Xiangsheng saw the faces of these people again, and found that the people were a little afraid.

They didn't know what was going on with this well-dressed beast in front of them.

There was even a little girl of four or five years old, under Lu Xiangsheng's gaze, and in a panic, she actually knocked over the porridge in her hand.

And the porridge water that was knocked over, and some splashed on Lu Xiangsheng's official robe.

When the little girl saw that the porridge had been overturned, she was so anxious that she cried out.

That's half a day's ration for her.

Next to the little girl, there was a man and a woman dressed in rags, apparently the father and mother of the little girl.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that the man was only twenty-three or fourteen years old, especially when he saw his daughter knocking over the porridge and actually saw the official robe of the senior official, and his face was even more panicked.

The man hurriedly ran over and knelt in front of Lu Xiangsheng and Jinyiwei's fellow acquaintance Xu Xianchun, and kept kowtowing.

"This big official, it's a small fault, the little daughter is not sensible, please spare us once!"
