Chapter 331 Nanjing Armament Bureau
In the evening, Zhang Juzheng deliberately got off work early and set up a family dinner to see Zhao Hao off.
In fact, according to Zhang Xianggong's original intention, Zhao Shouzheng was invited to join him. After all, it was Zhao Zhuangyuan who took office, not his son.
But now who knows where Zhao Shouzheng is?
The trip is about to set off the day after tomorrow. Whether he can go home in time is still a question...
Zhao Hao had no choice but to refuse Zhang Xianggong's invitation on behalf of his father because his father's buttocks were not healed and his bad behaviors were not healed.
Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng didn’t want to see Zhao Shouzheng, because Zhang Xianggong was used to keeping a distance from people who could not see through.
At present, Mr. Zhang always feels a little confused about the new top scorer, saying that Zhao Shouzheng is mature and stern, so he can beat the young master in the street.
It’s better to say that he has no brainstorm. It can be seen that what he has done since he entered the capital is aimed at every step, and he has gained such a great reputation and status without realizing it.
Is it true as Pang Shangpeng said that this fang is a heavy sword without a sharp edge, and a great treacherous is like a loyal person?
So it’s better not to contact him first. When he becomes an official for a few years outside, he will naturally be able to “know the power of the horse from afar, and see the hearts of people over time”.
So, Zhang Juzheng only invited Zhao Hao and Wang Wuyang to a banquet.
The reason for asking the eldest brother is that he will replace Zhao Hao as the Zhang family’s science class teacher.
Mr. Zhang respects his teacher and respects his words, so he naturally has to respect Wang Wuyang for a glass of wine.
After the family dinner, Wang Wuyang went to explain the test paper to Jingxiu brothers, while Zhao Hao and Zhang Xianggong went to the study three times.
After serving tea, Zhang Juzheng gently stroked his long beard and asked softly: "Have you settled in Suzhou?"
"Yes. The official report from the magistrate of Wu County has been sent home." Zhao Hao nodded. Of course, it was also collected by him.
"Wuxian..." Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Taihu, weaver, and giant room, if you can do these three questions well, Ling Zun's answer sheet is considered qualified."
"I remember, I'll remember." Zhao Hao nodded quickly and remembered the tips from Xianggong Zhang.
"Oh." But Mr. Zhang sighed softly: "Actually, Lingzun is not a safe choice to go to Suzhou at this time."
"Why did you say this?" Zhao Hao asked softly.
"Bugu can't explain some things clearly to you. I believe that with your ability, you will understand them when you come to Suzhou." Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment, and said with a careful consideration:
"Bugu can only tell you that a storm is about to sweep the entire Southeast, and Suzhou, as the center of the Southeast, will undoubtedly become the center of this great change."
"Science, the center of the storm is clear and clear." Zhao Hao said in his heart that I am also a person who is going to stir up the wind and rain, so that the storm will come more violently.
"Oh, is that?" Zhang Juzheng saw that Zhao Hao was full of confidence, and thought that this boy dared to bully the little master, so he was naturally a man who was afraid of the world's chaos.
The so-called evil of his will and my honey may be the happier the more he messes up this guy.
‘Maybe it can still fight poison with poison.’ Mr. Zhang shook his head and stopped talking.
Under the orange palace lanterns, Zhang Xianggong's body shines brightly.
Zhang Xianggong picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly, "In addition, I received a letter from General Qi in the morning, saying that you want to contribute to the improvement of the firearms in the Ming Dynasty?"
"It's some ideas that are hard to practice." Zhao Hao nodded.
"There are many problems with the Ming Dynasty's ordnance, and you must have a place to use it." Zhang Juzheng expressed his plans.
"But Bugu considered it for a while. As your identity, it is not appropriate to work in the Ministry of Works. What do you think? Bugu asked Lei Jun Hall of the Ministry of Works to give Nanjing Ministry of Works a script, and said that you will represent the cabinet and supervise the work of the Nanjing Military Weapons Bureau."
"This... is a bit of a big deal?" Zhang Juzheng's method avoided the cumbersome official process and gave him extremely high freedom. Of course, Zhao Hao couldn't ask for it.
However, the Nanjing Military Weapons Bureau has two thousand craftsmen to supply the weapons and equipment of the entire Jinling defenders and the southern Zhili prefectures. What is the blame for any serious consequences?
I just want to find ten gun masters like eight high-end blacksmiths to help me do research together.
I didn't want to take the entire Nanjing Military Weapons Bureau on my shoulders.
"It's right to do something big." But Mr. Zhang waved his hand and cut the railway decisively:
"Since Bugu was in charge of military affairs, he has long hated the low production level of military weapons and military war situations!"
"I went to inspect the previous Bugu and asked them to fire guns in a row, but the seventh shot exploded! I tried seven bird guns in a row, and half of them had the same problem. They carefully selected it and showed it to Bugu!" Zhang Juzheng said with a heartache:
"You can imagine what those bird guns that Bugu didn't see look like?"
Zhao Hao thought to himself that this young master was smart, so he only let Marshal Qi fire one shot.
"What's even more ridiculous is that after firing a shot, you have to wait ten breaths before firing the second shot. The range is only 150 steps at most. In ten breaths, the Tatar cavalry has already touched the face!"
I heard Zhang Xianggong say angrily:
"For every bird gun production, it costs 20 kilograms of fumes and 170 kilograms of charcoal, and more than three taels of silver with work and materials. When I went to the battlefield, I could only shoot one shot, and nine out of ten shots were defeated! This is not a war? This is throwing the silver from the court! Look at it, it is better to cancel the musket and restore the crossbow!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng was so angry that he slapped the table and his beard exploded.
"My husband will relieve his anger and it takes three years to train an archer, while the musketman only takes one month, so it's still a good deal."
Although Zhao Hao advised Zhang Juzheng like this, he actually praised his idol in his heart.
In the long initial stage of musket development, it is not as lethal as skilled archers.
But the problem is that with the low training level of the Ming Dynasty army, there was no way to cultivate as many sharpshooters as those of the Tartars.
That's the guy who eats, can he have Fabi?
Therefore, it is a simple and easy-to-get-use musket, which is most suitable for use by the Ming army.
What is Zhang Juzheng's knowledge? Of course, he also knows this. After complaining, he still has to face reality.
He looked at Zhao Hao with bright eyes and said:
"Bugu believes that science can help the Military Arts Bureau greatly improve these problems. With the talents of you and your disciples, you will definitely be able to develop faster and better firearms!"
As he said that, he smiled faintly and said, "Besides, I just asked you to supervise it, and I am not taking the military weapon bureau under your control. Just like the patrol of a province, it is all done by young people, so don't worry about anyone being bothered."
Zhang Xianggong decided on this matter with a light word, and Zhao Hao could not refuse it at all.
This made Mr. Zhao feel like the two idols joining forces to plot against themselves.
But when he said this, he had to bite the bullet and say, "You are doing your best."
"Haha, don't worry, my friend, Bugu will not let you work in vain." Seeing that Zhao Hao finally got into a trap, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand happily: "Let Lingzun be an official in Suzhou with peace of mind, Bugu will take care of Beijing's affairs."
Zhao Hao was overjoyed when he heard this. Today he came to find Zhang Juzheng. His main purpose was not to build a gun craftsman, but to deal with the situation after Gao Gong came back!
With the words of Zhang Idol, you shouldn't have to worry about tall beard anymore... right?
