Zhu Di couldn't sit still, and suddenly stood up. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Xie Aiqing..."

Xie Jin was in a complicated mood when he left work. In fact, he was an outsider from beginning to end. Although he began to hold on to the pain and beat the dog in the water, when King Ning stepped forward, Xie Jin realized that his only way was to keep his troops and watch from the wall.

Now, it is obvious that this decision is extremely wise. Although he never expected that Hao Fenglou's musket team could defeat Duoyan's three guards in a ruthless way, he thought that Hao Fenglou would die and had not had time to celebrate with the enemy, he felt a little regretful now.

But people like him, or most of the people in this class who have the same ideas as him, have a good advantage, that is, once things come to an end, they will never be bothered. Now they should stop and make plans.

Xie Jin left the class and said sincerely: "I am here."

Zhu Di said lightly: "To formulate an order, set up a Shenwu Works Bureau, and Hao Fenglou, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, also serve as the affairs of the Works Bureau. All the craftsmen are in charge of Hao Fenglou, and all the personnel are controlled by Hao Fenglou. All the meritorious craftsmen must be rewarded."

The first oral order is reasonable. First, it was a sword, then a fire gun. The Shenwuwei's work plan has proved itself with the most real achievements. Before that, this work plan was only a gray area. Although the court knew it, it had no name and nothing. It seemed good, but it had to ask for instructions again and again for anything. Now it is very different. With this work plan, it is naturally his own business to do whatever he wants to do. The work plan has been absolutely recognized by the court.

Xie Jin did not object, but responded to the sentence: "There is a good minister who obeys the order."

Zhu Di Fu's face was grimaced and said thoughtfully: "The Shenwu Construction Bureau has a battalion of firearms, which is specially used to test firearms. The number of people is temporarily organized to form 500 people. They are responsible for guarding the Construction Bureau, and at the same time, they are used to test weapons and formulate and practice. The firearms team is also controlled by Haofenglou, with a hundred households and five people. The general flag and a small flag, and everyone enjoys personal military money and food. As for the reward, it is reported by Haofenglou and approved by the Ministry of Rites."

After a pause, Zhu Di said again: "The southern expedition of Annan is inevitable, and Hao Fenglou's loyalty to the emperor is also a great contribution. If Annan is taken down in the future, his contribution to Dingnan will be indispensable. From now on, the Shenwu Machinery Bureau will provide the autocratic muskets for the military horses of the southern expedition. Hao Fenglou, tell me, how many muskets can you produce within three months?"

Hao Fenglou said: "Five hundred handles."

This is indeed the limit of Hao Fenglou. Even if production is to be expanded, many craftsmen are not skilled, and they also need to produce large quantities of gunpowder, iron bars and other things. Five hundred is indeed the limit of the Shenwu Manufacturing Bureau. A cannon is ten thousand taels of gold, and the price of muskets is high, and the manpower, material and financial resources are required. Unless the court is willing to give all its strength, it is really difficult to use troops now and it is really difficult to take out silver from the court.

Zhu Di pondered, "But it's enough, just use it for the time being." He looked at the ministers and continued, "Hao Fenglou is just a thousand households in the Jinyiwei, but he is in a low position and dare not forget his worries about the country. He worked hard to serve the court. He is a model. He ordered the Ministry of Rites to express his achievements and publish a newspaper in the residence. All envoys stopped hearing it."

When everyone heard this, they all took a breath in their hearts.

Perhaps for many people, it is nothing but publishing a newspaper, but anyone who is well versed in the rules knows that Hao Qianhu has already obtained a talisman.

What is amulet? There are two types of people in the Ming Dynasty. One is an open-minded one, which is the so-called iron voucher. Anyway, as long as you have great achievements, you will be awarded one to you and you will keep it at home. If you commit a sin, take out the iron voucher and you will naturally be able to compensate for the crime.

However, the credit of this thing is similar to that of the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty. With Zhu Yuanzhang's indiscriminate killing, it has long gone bankrupt.

But there is one thing that can still be used as a gold medal for exemption, which is the commendation of the diary. There are many contents in the diary. There are some emperor's lectures, just to tell everyone to be diligent and do things well. In addition, there are some memorials and some articles written by Hanlins. The last one is commendation. Which one has made great contributions? The emperor opened the golden mouth, and then drafted by Wenyuan Pavilion, and finally published by the Ministry of Rites, greatly praised the person's achievements, and said that officials in the world must take this person as an example and study hard.

It is said that when Taizu was a crime, an official was furious when he heard the news and planned to kill the whole family. However, when he was about to take action, Taizu was silent. The reason was very simple, because a few years ago, this person was praised and was one of the typical examples set by the emperor. In the end, this matter ended in vain. For the emperor, officials like this were generally mascots. You said before that he was so loyal and loyal that he could not be in a few years. This person turned out to be a criminal minister, and this was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

Therefore, there are a few rumors in the officialdom. Everyone knows that as long as the civil and military ministers who have passed the commendation are almost like wearing a treasure robe. Unless they involve rebellion, there are also some serious crimes that must be punished for the death penalty. Basically, if you make a small fuss, the court will turn a blind eye.

Hao Fenglou won this honor and was the first person in the Yongle Dynasty. He was so prominent that he was eye-catching.

Zhu Di pursed his lips and shook his ministers away.

Everyone had already dispersed. Only Zhu Di left Hao Fenglou, who was still playing with muskets in his hand. He had to hold them in front of everyone. Now, His Majesty holds muskets in his hand, or holds the gun handle under his armpits. After that, he thought the crown suit was too wide, so he asked someone to change into a strong suit, wearing a sky crown on his head and deer leather boots, which was a bit like a hunter's outfit.

There is a garden not far from Wu Pavilion. Nanjing's Forbidden City was built beside the mountain, so it was a bit steep. Zhu Di held a musket, loaded gunpowder, and seemed a little uncomfortable when using iron bars. However, Hao Fenglou hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, be slower, the front end is soft, you need to slowly explore it. Be careful when you come out, it is best to pull straight..."

Zhu Di tried several times, but he was not as skilled as those musketeers. He always felt uncomfortable. Finally, he said angrily: "Don't say too much, I know."

He said he knew, and he had to make a quick move. He put on the fuse, raised the musket, aimed at it, and saw a lark in the dense forest, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Hao Fenglou said: "Your Majesty, light the fire."

Zhu Di remembered that he had to ask the eunuch to take the fire and lit the fuse. The fuse was also made of oil-soaked materials and slowly burned. Finally, with a bang, the entire musket shook violently, and countless birds were startled.

Zhu Di couldn't help but shake his head and put down the musket. He seemed to feel that the musket was a little hot, and he couldn't help saying: "This musket is not convenient for bows and arrows after all, no wonder you have to specialize in the musket team. If ordinary personnel cannot practice daily, it will be difficult to achieve its miraculous effects."

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "This is natural, but bows and arrows are not easy. Not everyone is as capable as Your Majesty, and you can cultivate a real archer without half a year of hard work."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Yes, the root of our Ming Dynasty problem is here. The army and horses are complicated. At first glance, it is only 100,000, 500,000, or 1 million. But how many people really have the skills to practice this skill of going into battle? Some of the things that are useful now are, except for some military horses in the border town, only the Beijing camp is left, and the others are just mobs."

People like Zhu Di can see the crux of the problem at a glance. The Ming Dynasty adopted the system of wei, and there were not many real-time troops, less than 10% of the Ming army. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mob.

Zhu Di said again: "Now with muskets, it's easy. Practicing swords and archery and horses is not easy. But practicing muskets is like your musket team. You can look a little after practicing for three or two months. It's powerful. I have the intention to set up a Shenji camp, recruit brave and strong, and guard the capital."

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I think your Majesty is too anxious."

"Hmm?" Zhu Di looked at Hao Fenglou, puzzled.

Hao Fenglou said: "Your Majesty, this musket is just a test of the sword of Wei. It needs to be improved in the future. You see, there are other places in this musket. Weishou wants to change it again. If Your Majesty set up a Shenji Camp now, it will need to produce the muskets of this kind on a large scale. But when they are produced and the memorial has been improved, will it be out of date?"

"Can you change it?" Zhu Di felt incredible.

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "I am afraid of being serious in everything. As long as I am willing to be serious, there is nothing in the world that cannot be changed. I gather some smart people together every month to think about adjusting some accuracy today, and to find ways to improve the process and increase the range tomorrow. I think about how to simplify the launch steps. After years of this year, when I look back, I found that the improvement of the musket has been a thousand miles a day. The other manufacturing bureaus are different from other manufacturing bureaus. The other manufacturing bureaus are made, and they follow the steps. But I thought, my Ming Dynasty has abundant resources and many iron tools are made. So many people are using the things of our ancestors to make various military and civilian weapons, and it is not bad for me. I have this skill and occasionally have sudden ideas. I will cultivate a group of whimsical craftsmen, so I will simply think about improving the existing things."

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, what you said is that our Ming Dynasty did not lack good craftsmen, but what you lack is a guy like you. I also said that you are young, why can you always be shocked? Now it seems that it is not completely unreasonable. Let's go and take a break with me. I have something to say to you."
