I want to be a grandson

Chapter 432: The Attacking Qu Tao

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, and said very kindly: "In my opinion, it's better to replace it with iron, which is not easy to damage.
The fixed one is also stronger, so there will be no deviation, hehe, two gun barrels are more expensive than a broaching bed, the lonely king feels distressed..."

Qin Kui saluted and said, "Yes, I obey."

Zhu Yunxi took another look at how they pulled the rifling, and picked up the finished barrel to observe carefully. He stayed in this process for a long time before moving on to the next process.

Zhu Yunxi wanted to make some muskets with more rifling, so that the range and accuracy would be improved.

If such an army is established, although the number may not be large, it can exert unexpected effects on the battlefield!

Just think of the later special forces, with their outstanding abilities, coupled with more powerful firearms than others, that would be like a tiger with wings added!
However, he was not in a hurry, and it would not be too late to make these craftsmen after they became proficient.

After that, Zhu Yunxi looked at the remaining processes, because Qin Kui discussed these processes with himself during production, and many of them were based on his ideas and combined with the actual situation.

So looking at it, the overall feeling is very satisfying.

Zhu Yunxie instructed: "The muskets must be strong enough to be guaranteed, and each gun must be known who made it. The lonely king does not want soldiers to die because of firearms made by his own people!"

"So who made each gun must be clearly marked, and it must not be sloppy!"

Qin Kui said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, there are serial numbers on every musket, and they are all made according to His Highness's instructions. Every group sharing will be recorded in the book, so that it is easy to pursue accountability, so there will never be any problems."

The production of a musket is not completed by one person, but by different people. Each person is responsible for one process, and others are responsible for the remaining processes.

Therefore, the number written on the musket refers to that group of craftsmen, and the names of the craftsmen responsible for different processes will be recorded on it.

If the musket is really going to explode, or if there are other problems, just go to the Ministry of Industry to inquire about that group of people.

After Zhu Yunxi finished listening, he nodded in satisfaction, and said, "That's great! Set the production requirements every month, as long as they can complete,
Or there are corresponding rewards for exceeding the quota. For the group with excellent performance, more rewards can be issued to motivate everyone. "

Does Zhu Yunxi know the difference between doing foreign work and doing it with one's life!

The difference here is twice as small as it is!

The craftsmen have no other income except the food given by the court, and it is inevitable that they will slack off after a long time.

There is a saying that money moves people's hearts, and with money as an incentive, why can't they do well.

Qin Kui smiled and said, "Your Highness, the amount of this reward is already quite large, so I can't award any more, otherwise I will consider becoming a craftsman!"

Zhu Yunxi laughed and said: "They have families to support, and anyone would like to get more. As long as they work hard, the output will also increase greatly.

But if it can really attract Qin Shangshu to condescend, then the Weapons Bureau will really become a success!From now on, there will be Mr. Lao Qin here! "

"This is what a minister should do. You don't have to be polite, Your Highness."

Qu Tao returned from Guizhou, and as soon as he returned to the capital, he hurried to the East Palace to meet the emperor's grandson.

"Subordinate Qu Tao, see Your Highness!"

A few days ago Zhu Yunxi sent him to receive a thousand troops from various chieftains. It stands to reason that these 1000 people do not need to send Qu Tao to go there in person, but the relationship between the chieftains and the court is not so close.

Therefore, they will inevitably hide their secrets from the warriors of their own tribe, and Qu Tao went to select the soldiers so that they can pick out the real warriors.

Qu Tao attached great importance to this recruitment of soldiers. Although His Highness didn't say it clearly, since he was sent, there must be a purpose in it.

His Highness said before that he would release himself to the outside world and let him lead the army to fight on the battlefield. Maybe this is His Highness's test of himself.

So Qu Tao held back all his energy, and immediately went to visit his mother after returning home and explained the situation to her.

Because his father served as the commander of the Sichuan capital, he was not at home, and he didn't want to trouble his father too much on this matter.

As a young man in his twenties, he has ambitions inside, and he doesn't want to rely on his father's help to make achievements.

In addition, his father led the army outside, and his elder brother followed his father to make meritorious service, and he didn't take care of the family affairs, so now his mother is in charge of the family.

Qu Tao's mother, Mrs. Zhang, asked, "You said His Highness sent you to receive soldiers and horses? It's such a long journey, when will you be able to come back?"

"Mother, Guizhou is not as far away as Sichuan. You don't have to worry. I will come back after a visit. It will take about two months, at most no more than three months."

Mrs. Zhang asked worriedly: "There are so many soldiers and horses in the imperial court, why did you only send you to conscript these 1000 people? Could it be that you made a mistake in front of the emperor's grandson, so you were demoted there...Tao Er, If you have something to do, don't hide it from your mother..."

Seeing that his mother was worried, Qu Tao quickly explained: "Mother, where are you going? How dare the child lie to the mother? There is really nothing else. duty of guard,
This is an errand that many people dream of, but it actually falls on the boy. This is His Highness's favor. His Highness is benevolent. With such deep affection and friendship, how could he be reprimanded because of a little mistake of the boy. "

"Your Highness is really the hero, and my child feels like a fish in water when he follows His Highness."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Zhang was relieved, "It's fine, it's fine. Your father said that as long as you work hard and work hard by His Highness's side, your future achievements will definitely be higher than his. This is your blessing." ah."

"What the mother said is that the child is indeed a blessed person."

"Tao'er, since His Highness sent you there, when are you going to set off, so I can prepare some clothes for your mother, so as not to be short of clothes and food on the way..."

"Mother, you don't have to worry, there is a station on the way to take refuge, there is nothing missing..."

The mother and son chatted for a while, Mrs. Zhang saw that he seemed to have something to say, probably because of his face, so Mrs. Zhang took the initiative to ask: "Tao'er, tell me the truth, you come back this time. What are your thoughts?"

Qu Tao quickly showed a smile, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Mother, the child just came back to see you before leaving, there is nothing else, so mother doesn't have to think about it."

There is no better way to know a child than a father, and no way to know a child like a mother.

Mrs. Zhang could tell from his expression that there must be something wrong inside, so she said: "You are a piece of meat that fell from my mother, and I have taken you with you for so many years. If you can't even tell if my son is worried, then you are too old." Look down upon her as a mother!"

"Hehehe, my mother saw all of this..."

Qu Tao smiled awkwardly, and said honestly: "Mother, you also know the relationship between those chieftains in the Southwest and the imperial court.

Since the boy is valued by His Highness to go to recruit soldiers and horses, although there are not many people, this is the first job His Highness assigns to the boy, and the boy wants to do it perfectly without leaving any flaws, so..."

Qu Tao looked at his mother, but still didn't say anything, feeling a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Zhang understood, and said, "You want to go with the gold and silver, right?"

Qu Tao didn't speak in silence, although he was doing business, but after all, he was using the family's money, so how could he speak up.

In addition, Qu Tao is not a person who is good at words, so he doesn't know how to explain to his mother, how to tell.

Mrs. Zhang got up and took his hand, and said, "Come with me!"

So he dragged him to the warehouse, and Qu Tao could only follow behind.

After arriving at the warehouse, Mrs. Zhang pointed to a box and said, "Open it and have a look."

Qu Tao opened the box, and saw a piece of white and gray silver inside. Because the silver was oxidized, the color of many silver ingots was not white, but gray-black.

There was a whole big box full of silver ingots, a total of two or three thousand taels.

Mrs. Zhang reached out and opened another small box, inside was a piece of yellow and clear gold ingots.

Although the number is not much, but the color is very bright, much more beautiful than silver.

Mrs. Zhang said: "Look at this, is it enough? If it's not enough, our family still has some property. Anyway, it doesn't make much money, just sell it."

Qu Tao knew that his mother said this on purpose to make him feel better, so he was even more moved inside.
"Enough, mother, enough, not so much..." His voice was a little choked.

But Mrs. Zhang said: "You must do your best to do things for His Highness. A little money is nothing. You can use it with confidence. This is a loyal service, and you will repay your kindness with your heart. Only in this way can I make my mother happy."

"Yes, my child will bear in mind his mother's teachings, and vows to follow His Highness and fulfill his loyalty." Qu Tao said sincerely.

"Since you are determined by this, you can rest assured as a mother, and the family will fully support you!" Zhang said.

"Thank you, mother..." Qu Tao said emotionally.

"I'm a woman who doesn't understand anything, but I can't hold you back. You take these things and go quickly. Don't keep His Highness waiting."

"Thank you, my lord, for making it happen!"

Qu Tao was greatly moved. Although he had expected that his mother would help him, he did not expect that he would spare no effort.

This is all the money in the family.

"Your Highness asked you to recruit soldiers and horses. Although Mother doesn't understand why, she also knows that this is the first time you have been entrusted with such a great trust. You must be careful and be careful not to trust your trust."

Generally speaking, if you want soldiers and horses, you can directly recruit Han people, at least you will not specifically designate other tribes to recruit.

Everyone knows that the soldiers of many tribes can't speak Chinese, language barrier and rebelliousness, it is quite difficult to tame them and let them use their fingers like arms on the battlefield.

So generally speaking, no one would take the initiative to recruit them.

Since the emperor's grandson made such an abnormal move, he must have a plan.

"Mother's teachings, children must remember them in their hearts!"
