Walking in the infinite world

Chapter 75 New thighs (something at home, late update, sorry)
Ding Xiu was in a very bad mood recently, because he was caught by the master when he went to the Jiaofang Division, and he was specially banned for three days, and he was not allowed to go out to drink.

God is pitiful, Ding Xiu has just handed over Ling Yunkai, a brother who is a good drinker and likes to treat guests to Jiaofangsi.The point is that the girl from Jiaofang is not the same concept as the brothel outside.The girl in there is very moist.

However, being suffocated is suffocating, and the master's words still have to be listened to.The main reason is that he can't beat the master, and if he gets a chance to beat him, it will be bad.Although Ding Xiu is skinny, he is not a masochist.

At this time, Lu Xiu was in the Weaponry Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Neifu, which was one of the firearms forging departments of the Ming Dynasty.Firearms developed on a large scale in the Ming Dynasty for a period of time.But what makes people sick is that this department has not gradually expanded, but has shrunk over time.From the original 3163 craftsmen to the Longqing period, there were only 1781 craftsmen left.

Another department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, the Armament Bureau, has been reduced from 2947 craftsmen to 191 craftsmen.The entire firearms manufacturing industry is almost stagnant.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty realized the power of firearms.But it is precisely because of this power that they have a sense of fear.Because this weapon, in the hands of any civilian, can easily kill a veteran of a hundred battles.This kind of weapon is nothing but unfavorable to rule.

If the ruler does not like it, firearms naturally cannot really develop.So a funny situation arose.That is, with the passage of time, the firearms and equipment of the Ming army are getting worse and worse.By the end of the Ming Dynasty, not only did there not develop and progress, but there was a serious decline in quality and quantity.

Later, during the Chongzhen period, the tax revenue was not collected, let alone the research on emerging firearms.Most of the craftsmen in the firearms bureau are just messing around.Except for those fine handmade firearms that the emperor used as a reward, the rest of the firearms are basically shoddy.When sent to the army, those Ming soldiers would rather use big swords and spears than use such things.

At this time, a large group of people were kneeling in front of Lu Xiao.These people are basically the leadership of the Firearms Bureau.Lu Xiao didn't know who was who, nor did he intend to.

In the long life of eating and dying, the management here has almost rotted home.Lu Xiao didn't even look at these people, and threw a bunch of files on the ground for them to see for themselves.

These things are all using the authority of Jin Yiwei, and these people who have been investigated are corrupt and use shoddy evidence.

"Look at it all, don't say that we Jinyiwei have wronged people. After reading it, go to Zhao prison by yourself. Of course, if you don't want to go, we can help."

Lu Xiao said with a blank expression that the officials on the ground were heartbroken.Then, bypassed them and walked into the Firearms Bureau.

Lu Xiao was aggressive, and the leaders outside knelt down and handed it over.How dare those craftsmen inside dare not kneel.The leading gray-haired old men knelt at the door tremblingly, not daring to lift their heads.

Lu Xiao didn't go to help them up, but the heart of benevolence and righteousness can be there.But to divide the time, the current situation is beyond his control.

Lu Xiao took a spear from Ling Yunkai behind him.To be precise, a flintlock gun.

The firearms of the Ming Dynasty were not without progress, but they were not promoted.In fact, around the same time as the European flintlock gun appeared, a scientist in China also produced a flintlock gun.It is a pity that the rulers of the Ming Dynasty did not like this dangerous weapon, and the situation in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was corrupt, and this weapon was not promoted at all.

That person's name was Bi Maokang, a jinshi during the Wanli period.He was granted Zhongshu Sheren, and later moved to Guangxi Road Supervision Censor, Youqidu Censor, Shaanxi Xunjian, and Shandong Xunyan Yushi.A solid official.However, during the Tianqi period, he was ostracized by Wei Zhongxian and was demoted to his hometown.

From this point of view, Wei Zhongxian really doesn't do much in personnel except collecting taxes.

Lu Xiao actually didn't know there was such a person.It was only when he checked Luo Yangxing's home that he found such a musket.Originally, Lu Xiao thought that this was a Western product made by Luo Yangxing.After asking around, I found out that this thing turned out to be domestic.

This made Lu Xiao overjoyed.Originally, he was going to find those Western merchants and buy a batch to copy.But now that there are domestically produced ones, naturally there is no need to be so troublesome.While Lu Xiao sent someone to find Bi Maokang, he also took someone to the Firearms Bureau to find those craftsmen.

"The firearms bureau is up and down, corrupt, shoddy, and delayed military flights. If the investigation is carried out, everyone here will go to jail. Do you understand what I mean?"

The group of craftsmen on the ground knelt even harder, and their heads were bleeding.I don't know how to justify it, I just keep begging for mercy.

"But now I'll give you a chance. Look up."

The first few old craftsmen looked up and saw that Lu Xiao was holding a strange-looking fire gun in his hand.

"Does anyone know this thing?"

Several old craftsmen looked at each other, and one of them said carefully.

"Master Hui, this is the musket made by Master Bi at the beginning. I was fortunate enough to see it, and I even shot it back then."

"Fine, can you do the same?"

"This, little years"

"How long does it take to make it?" Lu Xiao asked directly without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

"Go back to the adults, the little ones need to take a look first."

Lu Xiao knew that he should want to dismantle it.He then threw the musket directly at him.

"You can do whatever you want, but I want you to figure out all the details within five days before the Firearms Bureau goes all out to make this musket."

"This, my lord, within five days. There should be no problem with small ones. But the Firearms Bureau probably doesn't have so much money to make this kind of fire gun. This gun is more precise than other fire guns. If it is manufactured, I am afraid that the cost is extremely high. I am afraid that it is small.”

"You don't have to worry about the matter of silver, this officer is responsible for solving it. You only need to do what you need to do. If you do it well, it is possible to get promoted and get rich. If you don't do it well, go to Zhao Prison to explain the shoddy problem. "

After speaking, Lu Xiao turned around and left without waiting for the other party to respond.

"Ling Yunkai, that group of people outside, you took people to raid their homes. Use their money to supply the Firearms Bureau to make new firearms. Listen, I don't care if you drink some oil and water. But don't miss the business, Know what I mean?"

Ling Yunkai had no temper in front of Lu Xiao.These days, he has noticed a very scary problem.That is his uncle Wei Zhongxian, who seems to be powerless against Lu Xiao.In other words, Lu Xiao is now his real thigh.

Since it's a thigh, what are you waiting for?lick! ! !
