Emperor Chongzhen heard about what Huang Degong did, but ignored it. There were too many secrets hidden in the West, and the fewer people who were irrelevant knew, the better.

Especially in some important places, all the people who can do things there, without exception, their families moved to Xishan and moved into the residential areas built in Xishan.

Even in Xishan, Emperor Chongzhen planned to build several primary schools, asking the children who moved into Xishan residential area to come in to train them.

"Your Majesty, according to your original will, all the government agencies under the jurisdiction of the Military Preparation Institute must be refined into corresponding process flows according to actual production needs to ensure production efficiency."

After entering the headquarters of the Military Bureau, Song Yingxing walked forward and reached out to introduce: "This is a raw material workshop for gunpowder production. All the raw materials for mass-producing gunpowder will be processed and contained in their respective areas.

In the raw material workshop, there is one master craftsman who is in charge of production management matters, four craftsmen, and there are twenty-seven craftsmen at all levels and two hundred and seventy-one apprentices."

Under the introduction of Song Yingxing, Emperor Chongzhen walked in this raw material workshop. He said it was a workshop, but in fact it was a workshop, and it occupied a huge space.

If you want to effectively improve productivity, without the support of industry, using assembly line operations to refine the production process and clarify the apprentice training system is the only way to go.

Emperor Chongzhen thought it was all because of the wars and catastrophes that the Chinese state experienced were too many, so many precious skills inherited by the ancestors were eventually lost.

The assembly line operation method was widely used by the Qin State in the pre-Qin period. The various types of weapons, bows, crossbows, arrows, etc. produced laid a solid foundation for the Qin Dynasty to unify China.

"In order to clarify these systems, your Martial Arts Institute has been working hard."

Emperor Chongzhen inspected one workshop and another workshop and said to Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu and the others, "Especially those craftsmen who taught their family skills to apprentices from other surnames, all of whom were getting angry, right?

”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Jiao Xu stepped forward and said, "It's indeed a lot of effort. Fortunately, Deng Yuhan, Johnson Chan and others have proposed many good strategies.

That's why all the government agencies under the jurisdiction of the Military Preparatory Institute finally all implement these new systems and regulations. Otherwise, if you want to clarify these things, you will probably have to spend some effort."

"oh?"

Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Deng Yuhan, Tang Ruowang and others, and said, "How many Qing families have you used to solve this problem?"

Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards Johnson Chan and his group of Western missionaries was very clear, and he should value them, but at the same time he should be careful of them.

The most important part of Western countries must be grafted into the Ming Dynasty in a timely manner, and after integration, it will become a part of the Ming Dynasty.

For all kinds of dregs like the West, there is no need to take root in the Ming Dynasty. Especially for the sectarian thoughts, if you want to inherit them in the Ming Dynasty, you must conform to the moral concept of the Ming Dynasty.

The Western style doesn't work under the Meiji!

"Report to Your Majesty."

Tang Ruowang walked forward and bowed and said, "In fact, the method is very simple. The descendants of craftsmen on the Xishan side will accept their studies here, and at the same time, Zhang Bu rewards and punishments system.

These are actually what Your Majesty has mentioned before, but there was no communication between the top and bottom before, and the craftsmen at the bottom did not know about Your Majesty’s grace, so they were inevitably reserved.”

Compared with the openness of the West, the East should be more subtle and restrained. These are different characteristics nurtured by the two civilizations.

No good or bad.

There is nothing right or wrong.

For Emperor Chongzhen, where people engaged in military scientific research and production, they must have an open mind and know how to absorb foreign advanced ideas. The Ming Dynasty did not fall behind in terms of firearms, but only had a special atmosphere, which led to the fact that it was not only studying and becoming an official.

Nothing else is valued.

In fact, it is not just about military industry. All walks of life such as traditional Chinese medicine and textiles are all despised by a group of pretentious scholars, even officials and gentry.

The class division of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce has become a deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after thousands of years of inheritance. It takes a long time to reverse this bad idea.

"The reward and punishment system I mentioned earlier must be strictly implemented in the Military Preparation Institute."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen reached out and said, "Don't be afraid to pay silver to the people below. You don't have to worry about these things, the treasury will be allocated directly.

In addition, we have developed new muskets, more powerful cannons, and even gunpowder. Whoever can develop them will not be stingy with rewards."

The battlefield in the future will inevitably be the era of hot weapons.

However, the current development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty is still far from what Emperor Chongzhen knows.

Like a rifled flintlock rifle, if the Ming Dynasty could develop it, dare to produce thousands of rods and put them into the new army, the combat power increase would be unimaginable.

Unfortunately, Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand these things. The only thing he could do was to absolutely support the development of the Military Academy. No matter how much money it cost, it was worth it.

In addition to gathering all kinds of talents, the climbing of the technology tree is to spend money. The more you spend, the closer you will get to the breakthrough.

"In addition, I'll emphasize one more thing."

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Who can develop yellow gunpowder in the Martial Arts Institute? The Count will be hereditary. This sentence will always be valid."

Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu, Deng Yuhan, Tang Ruowang and others all changed their faces slightly. Whether the yellow gunpowder in the emperor's mouth really exists is something worth pondering, but if it is really developed

It’s too generous to be the Count who was awarded the title of hereditary Count.

It’s a pity that they don’t know what yellow gunpowder represents. This is a big step in the field of chemistry. If it can be developed, it will have a drastic change in the military-industrial system of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that even with Deng Yuhan and Tang Ruowang and other Western missionaries, it would be difficult to develop the product of yellow gunpowder.

Maybe five years.

Maybe ten years.

Maybe longer.

But Emperor Chongzhen was patient enough to wait for this day to come.

After inspecting the military battles and military weapons bureaus, Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with the changes in the military battles, military weapons bureaus, etc. At least the military industry of the Ming Dynasty was developing in a good direction.

"Let's go and go to your Martial Arts Court to take a look." Emperor Chongzhen shouted softly and said, "Look at how the muskets and cannons you developed are progressing. I just want to be more powerful and of quality now.
