Of course, these things can be left to the internal supervisors, so that all the income can be transferred to the internal funds, and then I will have money.
Haha, Zhu Youxiao, you are so talented.
Several ministers looked at the emperor sitting there alone in a daze, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, and several of them looked at each other.
Xu Guangqi coughed, but the emperor didn't respond.
He coughed again, finally waking the emperor up from deep thought.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Zhu Youxiao coughed unnaturally and said, "Sir, it's better not to be too concerned about money."
Frugality is an important weapon of the military.
Quality must be ensured.
I will find a way for other things.”
Li Zhizao proposed that the mint machine should also use water power.
There was a lot of open space next to the mint chosen last time.
Can the mint and the weapons bureau be built on the same river?
Zhu Youxiao also agreed.
The Mint and the Ordnance Department were required to be connected together, with high walls built around them and troops guarded.
The Jinyi Guards strictly checked the people entering and exiting to prevent technology leaks and theft.
He remembered that last time Yang Guanggao and the others said that the current iron scale armor was not very powerful in protecting Jiannu bows and arrows, and that the soldiers' flexibility would be greatly affected after wearing the iron scale armor.
Flexibility was very important to the fire gun soldiers in battle.
So he asked Sun Yuanhua: "Is there any armor that is lighter than iron scale armor and has stronger protective capabilities?"
Sun Yuanhua thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Japan seems to have a kind of southern barbarian carcass, which is extremely protective, but I don't know if it is lighter than iron scale armor."
Zhu Youxiao asked about the specific situation, but Sun Yuanhua didn't know much about it.
He only knew that it was made of a whole steel plate.
Zhu Youxiao thought of the European knights he had seen in movies, and thought that this southern barbarian body should be plate armor.
So he asked: "Should our steel production be sufficient now?"
"Your Majesty, after improving the technology, the steel production can now be maintained at about 1,200 kilograms per day, because the production of bayonets has been reduced, and some will only be used when testing the casting of iron cannons.
There are currently about 50,000 kilograms in stock.
Jin of steel.”
"Steel cannons need to continue to be tested.
Bronze cannons are not as useful as steel cannons.
Copper is too expensive and has to be used to make coins.
Now that there is excess steel and you have hydraulic machinery, as long as the mold is changed, it should be possible to make coins.
Armor made of a whole steel plate is called plate armor.
It is lighter than iron scale armor and should have better protective capabilities. " Sun Yuanhua hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is currently developing new weapons.
In the past, I could get your Majesty's personal guidance, and I benefited a lot and made rapid progress.
Now I am researching alone, and sometimes I can't find the direction, and I often feel that I am not doing what I want. " Zhu Youxiao looked at him carefully, trying to tell whether he was flattering or telling the truth, but Sun Yuanhua's rigid face made it impossible for him to tell.
Xu Guangqi knew his disciple well, so he scolded him: "Chu Yang, your Majesty is busy with everything, how can he discuss the making of utensils with you every day?
Don't talk nonsense."
Only then did Zhu Youxiao realize that Sun Yuanhua was flattering and telling the truth, so he smiled and said: "Actually, everything I know has been told to Sun Qing.
Sun Qing has to do so many things by himself.
It's because I didn't think carefully, Mr.
Xu , but there are also disciples who are good at firearms and armor.
Let them discuss it together, and we will get better results. " Xu Guangqi thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I only have one disciple, Dr.
Sun.
However, Bi Maokang, the censor of Salt Patrol in Shandong, is very experienced in making firearms.
There is another student named Mao Yuanyi who has written the book Military Bei Zhi.
He should also be good at it."

As for firearms, these two people can help Dr.
Sun, but Bi Maokang is in a high position, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to arrange."
Zhu Youxiao understood what he meant.
It was obviously not possible to let an official like Bi Maokang give Sun Yuanhua a job as a subordinate, unless Bi Maokang was allowed to manage the weapons bureau.
But he just didn't believe in this evil: "Send me a message to announce that Bi Maokang and Mao Yuanyi will join the Ordnance Bureau and assist Dr.
Sun first.
Sun Qing, don't care about their qualifications, just do what they should do.
I only care about their ability, not their qualifications."
What."
Sun Yuanhua reluctantly agreed.
He was very satisfied with his current life.
It felt good and powerful to be able to convert the knowledge he possessed into concrete objects.
However, alone, I often feel that I have more than enough ambition but not enough power.
Now that there are two more people, everyone will confirm each other, and there should be new inspirations.
This is a good thing, but Bi Maokang was born as a Jinshi and is a senior official, so he will convince himself.
Does it matter?
Everyone watched the work of the new machine together.
Zhu Youxiao didn't know much about this aspect, but he had studied physics, so he discussed with Sun Yuanhua and others how to use the new machine to make plate armor.
The key point was to make it thin. , so that it is lighter, and even talked about European visors, which was a great inspiration to Sun Yuanhua.
Zhu Youxiao wanted to know how slaves could deal with such iron cans on the battlefield.
Soon Bi Maokang and Mao Yuanyi came to the military battle station according to the order, and Sun Yuanhua greeted them at the door.
Bi Maokang looked in his fifties and had a peaceful expression, while Mao Yuanyi was only in her twenties.
As soon as the two entered the war station, they were attracted by the new flintlock guns and Hongyi cannons inside.
Bi Maokang held the flint-fire gun, observed it carefully for a long time, and asked: "Who made this self-generating fire gun?"
Sun Yuanhua stepped forward cautiously and said: "It was made by me, but it was the method proposed by the emperor.
The emperor named this kind of fire gun the flint-fire gun."
Bi Maokang murmured: "The flintlock gun, I have always been proud of my talent, but unexpectedly" It turns out that he was the first to make the flintlock gun in Chinese history.
He named it the self-made fire gun.
Now he only has one idea. , I didn’t want to but saw the real thing here.
He calmed down, turned around and said to Sun Yuanhua: "I hope Dr.
Sun will give you more advice in the future."
Sun Yuanhua was relieved and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the emperor said that there are three items: firecrackers, artillery, and armor.
Each of the three of us is responsible for one item.
Please choose one first, Mr.
Bi."
Bi Maokang said: "I have always been interested in fire guns, so let's choose fire guns."
Mao Yuanyi chose artillery.
The three of them divided the work, and without any pleasantries, they started directly on the part they were in charge of.
After returning to the palace, Zhu Youxiao first summoned Wei Zhongxian and asked him to prepare the security issues of the Mint and the Ordnance Department, and clearly told him that Dongchang would be in charge of these two places.
Such an important place would not be released.
It makes him feel uneasy in front of his own eyes, so he has to take direct control.
Of course, direct control is managed by the inner palace and then reported to him.
In addition, let him set aside a piece of land opposite the mint to prepare glass and cement.
And select some eunuchs in the palace who can do practical things, and then they can become managers
