Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 211 Arrangement
The next day.

Lai Shangrong stood in the room, looking at Sister You who was waiting for her to get dressed, and couldn't help but help her lower back.

I secretly warned myself that sex is like a steel knife scraping bones, and I must not indulge in this way again.

"Yuchai will be back today."

Second Sister You glanced at Youshi, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, and whispered: "What I mean is, Sister..."

"Yu Chuan is fine, her whole family has come over, and she has broken ties with that side, take it easy for the next two days, I won't come here for the time being, and Sister is arranged in the front yard, she dare not talk nonsense. "

Although he was still holding the confessions of Shi'er and Mingyan in his hands, she and Mingyan were not on good terms, and he was not willing to give charity to anyone, so he arranged it in the front yard.

Due to overwork last night, he missed the training time today. Lai Shangrong put on his official uniform and went straight to the front yard.

He never told Qin Zhong that Qin Ye was arrested. After all, he couldn't do anything about this kind of thing, let alone Qin Zhong, who was anxious to tell him.

Although he promised Qin Ye to protect Qin Zhongzhou, he did not intend to act recklessly. King Beijing and others were killed by a camel bigger than a horse, and he still had considerable influence in the army.

It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows, so the best way is to send them to the Shenji Camp.

That was the emperor's sphere of influence. As long as King Beijing and others did not rebel, their lives would at least be safe if they hid there. All they had to do was wait until the emperor gained power and liquidate King Beijing's influence.

Originally, Lai Shangrong had no reasonable excuse, but the emperor gave him an excuse by asking him to modify his firearms.

Qin Zhong has studied with him for nearly two years. Compared with people of this era, his vision is better than the average person. With knowledge of mathematics, physics and other aspects, as long as he is given appropriate guidance, he will be arranged to enter the Shenji Camp to provide technical guidance and The work of summarizing problems is still competent.

He planned to take his three apprentices to the arsenal to familiarize themselves with the business, so that he could better identify problems that arise during use in the future.

The reason why three disciples are brought together is mainly because one can teach, and three can also teach.

I first went to Dongkua Courtyard and told his father about Xing Zhong's arrangements, and then came to the front yard.

"This month, you two don't go to the clan school. Today, you will go to the Yamen with me for internship. Later I will ask someone to go to the clan school to say hello."

Jia Lan and Jia Jun still have classes at the Jia Family School. Whether they attend Jia Dairu's class or not does not make much difference, but the family will be worried, so they still have to say hello.

The main reason was that time was too tight. He had to take advantage of the fact that the aftermath of the corruption case was still there and King Beijing and others were busy returning the dirty money to implement the matter.

He took the three of them into the carriage and rushed to the State-Owned Department first.

After handing over yesterday, he sent people to the glass workshop. Wu Qinian and Jiang Maocai were old craftsmen from Yantie Division. When they made glass, they specially selected craftsmen who were good at smelting because they wanted to control the temperature of the furnace.

The experience and skills of the two of them are not critical, and they are the old people who follow them.

Although it is difficult for a craftsman to become an official, since the emperor values ​​firearms so much, as long as the credit for transforming muskets is fulfilled, it should not be difficult to promote an eighth- or ninth-grade junior official.

Because the two of them lived outside the city, Lai Shangrong asked them to come to the State Administration Bureau yesterday, so when they arrived at the Yamen, they had not arrived yet.

He took his three apprentices into the duty room.

"I have just taken over the firearms factory. You have been practicing with me this month. You have also memorized the periodic table of elements. I also explained the principles to you. The carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur in pig iron are chemically reacted. …”

Lai Shangrong explained for a long time. The three students listened attentively and did not take down their notes.

After talking for a long time, their mouths were dry, but the three of them didn't realize that their eyesight was indeed a bit poor.

"Do you drink water?"

The three of them were stunned and replied: "Master, we are not thirsty!"

well!It seems that we need to popularize workplace education for them.

Just at this moment, Yuan Chengtao knocked on the door and came in.

Lai Shangrong smiled and said: "Cheng Tao! Do you want to drink water?"

"My lord, wait a moment!" Yuan Chengtao bowed and replied.

Then he picked up the cup from the table, turned around and dug out the tea leaves in the tea cabinet, poured the tea, and placed it respectfully on the table with the cup in hand. "Sir! It's just been soaked and it's still a little hot!"

Lai Shangrong nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand to signal him to sit down first.

Turning to Qin Zhong and the other three, he said: "This is the first lesson I teach you as a teacher. You are all young masters and young masters at home, and you are always served with tea and water. But even if you are in Liangbang High School, after you join the yamen There are also Shangguan here, and even seniors who have been in the job for many years. How can you gain a foothold without any discernment?

This is not to ask you to follow others’ trends. There is no love without reason in the world. It’s just to learn from experience... "

The so-called teaching by words and deeds can only deepen the impression by letting them experience it personally and realize the difference.

The three of them agreed, thoughtfully.

Lai Shangrong turned to Yuan Chengtao.

"Sir, Mr. Wu and Mr. Jiang are here."

"Let's go! Go to the firearms factory, you can come with us!"

After Lai Shangrong took over yesterday, he discovered that the firearms factory was fully equipped with a medium-sized iron smelting furnace and a forging workshop, which saved a lot of trouble.

"grown ups!"

Fang Changqing, the former director of the firearms factory, has been waiting for him for a long time. There is also a young man in his twenties wearing military uniform beside him.

"Is this Captain Qiu's son?"

"Yijun has met Master Lai!"

Lai Shangrong did not rush to the smelting workshop, but came to the gun barrel production workshop first.

Steelmaking still needs time and exploration, and it does not happen overnight. The easiest way for him to establish prestige in the factory is to achieve results, so the first step is to make a rifled gun.

In front of the craftsmen in the workshop, the rifling production process was explained.

"If you want to attack the target first, you must first sharpen the tool. To carve rifling, you need auxiliary equipment. I have already applied for a steam engine. Before the machine is sent for modification, you will follow my three apprentices and learn some operational knowledge."

Lai Shangrong had seen related videos on a certain website in his previous life. Carving rifling is actually the principle of a sewing machine. Of course, manpower alone cannot do it. In this era, steam power is needed.

This was a life-saving thing. In the early days of time travel, he was afraid that he would forget it after a long time, so he drew the drawings based on his memory.

Lai Shangrong formulated the teaching plan, and Qin Zhong and the others were only responsible for explaining it.

After listening to Lai Shangrong's speech, the audience began to whisper.

Qiu Yijun said in disbelief: "How many lines can be drawn in the barrel of a gun and it can shoot far?"

Lai Shangrong laughed loudly and said: "You should all have played with tops. When the rotation speed reaches a certain point, the top will rotate at a fixed point, and the rifling is to make the bullet achieve the effect of a top in the barrel. This is combined with the three-point-one By aiming straight at the target, the bullet can hit accurately.”

In the absence of basic knowledge, giving examples is always easier to accept than empty talk. After hearing this explanation, the craftsmen below stopped whispering.

Fang Changqing was thoughtful.

Lai Shangrong ignored everyone's reaction and turned to Qin Zhong and the others: "The principle of three points and one line, my teacher told you that you should communicate with General Qiu more often when you have time."

This is to pave the way for Qin Zhong, arranging for him to enter the Shenji Camp and establish a good relationship with the generals of the Shenji Camp, so that future safety and other aspects will be more secure.

Then he went to the smelting factory and exchanged some theoretical knowledge about steelmaking with Wu Qinian and Jiang Maocai. The two had no doubts about Lai Shangrong and did not need to explain too much.

"Don't be afraid of waste. Experiment more and record more. You still have to explore some things on your own."

I was busy all the way to the lower office and on the way back.

Lai Shangrong told Qin Zhong and the others: "You will come here directly this month, and the teacher will also take time to come. When the machine is installed in place and their work is on track, your experience this time will be over."
