After Xu Guangqi retreated, he took out the paper sandwiched in Ji Xiao's new book and read it carefully.
Except for the improvement of weapons, there was nothing else.
After putting down the paper, he walked out of the study and asked Li Jinzhong: "Is there an internal official named Wei Zhongxian in the palace?"
Li Jinzhong said: "I have never heard of it.
There is only one named Wei Chao and one named Wei Jinzhong."
Zhu Youxiao thought that maybe the Wei Dynasty had changed his name, or maybe he was somewhere else, and Li Jinzhong didn't know him.
Forget it, he would know by then, as long as he didn't need him.
"By the way, ask me about a few people.
They are all officials, civilized and military."
He took out a piece of paper and copied down the famous people he remembered.
"Place of origin, family situation, and reputation should all be included.
Try to be as detailed as possible."
Li Jinzhong has a friend in Dongchang.
He seems to be a moderately responsible person in charge.
He happens to be in charge of official information, so it is more appropriate to send him for this matter.
Li Jinzhong is also willing to do this kind of thing, so that his friends can know that he is trusted by His Majesty the Grand Sun, which is a shameless thing.
The next day, Li Jinzhong brought the information, and Zhu Youxiao took it over.
He looked at it, ha, the junior officials are having a meeting.
Yuan Chonghuan is the magistrate of Shaowu County, Sun Chuanting is the magistrate of Yongcheng County, Sun Chengzong, the concubine of the East Palace Zuo, is more senior than Xu Guangqi.
Small.
These were the three people he remembered.
Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong knew it from the Blue Blood Sword, and Sun Chuanting knew it from the Ming Dynasty Tribulation.
There seemed to be an ancestor Dashou or something, who seemed to be Yuan Chonghuan's subordinate.
It's a good thing that the people you find have small officials, which means they haven't been taken seriously yet.
If you reuse them, you can at least gain points in terms of loyalty.
It's just that he doesn't know what these people are good at.
Yuan Chonghuan does know that the famous Governor Yuan, Yuan Chengzhi's father, Sun Chengzong seems to be a Governor, and Sun Chuanting seems to have a very murderous intention in the Ming Dynasty, killing people.
The army is a good hand , this person does not need to kill the militia, because he is prepared to prevent people like Li Zicheng from having a chance to rebel.
Come, eat a potato, go back to plant corn and sweet potatoes, forget about the rebellion, you have something to eat. , What kind of rebellion is this?
After traveling through time, I often regret not reading more history books about the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, if you know who is good at war and send him to fight, if you know who is good at the economy, let him take care of finances, if you know who is a loyal minister, trust him and make important use of him, and if you know who is a traitor, so alienate him and belittle him, then he does not deserve to be an emperor.
Too easy.
However, he believed that as long as he did three things: first, let the farmers have food to eat and money to spend; second, do not kill Yuan Chonghuan and let him become a slave to the establishment; third, reuse the Donglin Party instead of Wei Zhongxian.
Then the peasants will not rebel, the slaves will not be able to enter the customs, the Ming Dynasty will not fall, and his throne will be as stable as Mount Tai.
On April 27, Li Jinzhong reported that Sun Yuanhua had made significant progress, and Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to come to the war bureau.
Sun Yuanhua saluted and said hello and took out a flintlock gun.
There was a sleeve on the muzzle and a gleaming bayonet on it.
"After His Highness proposed the idea last time, I have conducted many experiments and obtained this fire blunderbuss with a bayonet.
The bayonet does not prevent the fire blunderbuss from being fired, but the blade is brittle.
Improper use or too many times of use will cause it to break, my lord.
Looking for ways to improve.”
It turns out that the Bingzhan Bureau had a kind of fire blunderbuss with a knife, but the knife was at the end of the blunderbuss.
Zhu Youxiao asked him to put the knife on the head of the blunderbuss.
Last time, Sun Yuanhua added a handle to the back of the bayonet and inserted it into the muzzle of the gun.
Zhu Youxiao felt that this would hinder shooting, so he asked him to put it on the barrel of the gun.

It was changed so quickly, which gave Zhu Youxiao some surprises.
Zhu Youxiao looked carefully.
There was a bolt on the sleeve, which happened to be stuck on a protruding part of the barrel.
The bayonet was about a foot long.
He flicked the blade with his finger.
The sound was dull.
He pulled the back of the knife hard and found that the deformation was very small.
Recalling the content in the chemistry book, he pondered and said: "This is because of the quality of steel.
Iron knives are easy to break, so steel knives have better toughness, so they are not easy to break.
The material of this knife may have been It’s close to steel, but it’s not steel after all, so it will break if used too much.”
"Your Highness, the price of steel is too high.
If steel is used, its silver is five times that of iron."
At this time, Suzhou Steel's smelting method could produce steel, but the quantity was small and the price was high.
If steel is used, the cost of the bayonet will be greatly increased and the popularity of the bayonet will be affected.
But if you use iron, the quality is not up to standard.
If you use a bayonet to kill the enemy, and the bayonet breaks suddenly, it will be a fatal problem.
So this is a very troublesome problem.
Of course, you have to use a steel knife, but money is a big problem.
Zhu Youxiao turned to Li Chaoqin and asked: "Can you make the sword with the cloud pattern you presented last time by yourselves?"
"Your Highness, that is a sword from Tianzhu.
I am ashamed and cannot make it."
"Steel quality is a big problem, and we have to find a way to solve it.
Are there any government-run iron plants in Beizhili?"
"The Zunhua Iron Smelting Plant was closed in the ninth year of Wanli.
There are no government-run iron plants in North Zhili, but there are a few in South Zhili."
"Which company can make steel?"
"Suzhou Fu Iron Smelting Plant can produce cast steel, but the output is small."
"Send people to Suzhou, find skilled craftsmen there, grant them favorable conditions, and bring them to the capital to help us build equipment, improve the steel filling production method, and increase output.
After the people are found, Mr.
Sun will be responsible for guiding them and first build them.
Steel for the bayonet comes.”
After giving the instructions, he specially brought Sun Yuanhua to a small room: "The reason why iron cannot be used to make knives is because it is impure.
Coal is used to make iron.
Coal contains what I call sulfur and phosphorus.
If mixed with it, the quality of iron will deteriorate.
Therefore, in order to obtain good iron, it is necessary to remove sulfur and phosphorus impurities, and the iron must contain charcoal, but there is a lot of charcoal.
Iron is hard, less carbon makes iron soft, and it does not apply if it is too soft or too hard.
Generally speaking, if the iron contains more than 2% carbon, it is iron, and if it contains less than 2%, it is steel.
What I know is that There are so many, I don’t know if they are of any use to you."
He tried his best to express his poor chemistry knowledge in plain words, but he was very tired.
"His Highness said, let your ministers understand the principles and be able to do their work well.
Since coal contains sulfur and phosphorus, you can use charcoal to make iron.
There is no sulfur and phosphorus in it, so you can make good iron.
Charcoal is also more expensive than coal."
"Coal can be obtained by burning coal in a sealed container.

Coke is more suitable for making iron than charcoal, and it should be cheaper than charcoal."
"What Your Highness calls coke is what we usually call coke.
I read in the book that coke was used to smelt iron in the Song Dynasty."
"It should be so.
You can test it yourself to see which one is better, and then see if there are better ways to increase production and improve quality."
Zhu Youxiao encouraged.
"In addition, the contact point between the bayonet and the barrel is not too tight.
Please pay attention to this.
There is such a thing."
He briefly explained the structure of the screw.
Seeing Sun Yuanhua's face looking troubled, he said: "You can do this slowly. , use other methods first, try to make it stronger
