Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the garrison system, and the military farms in the new policy in his later years gradually became civil servants' fields.

The 60 million mu of land in the Ming Dynasty have been distributed almost all. According to official statistics, the acres of land obtained by each household are adapted to local conditions, ranging from fifteen to thirty-five mu.

For example, the plain in Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and very cold. The more land the imperial court reclaimed and fewer people, it is naturally more divided.

But the two of them had just entered the Firearm Manufacturing Bureau. Although this is an official industry and the royal family has absolute control, they still have the industry for profit.

The craftsmen had never met Zhu Yuanzhang, and Fang Shiyu went to sea for four years and held it in the palace for a year. In the five most changes, he had never appeared in the firearm manufacturing bureau.

Of course no one knows it.

All the craftsmen were busy. Only Fang Shiyu's teeth trembled and said, "This hydraulic machine tool has been made?????"

A long time ago, Fang Shiyu hoped that someone could create a hydraulic machine tool. With this thing, he could make more machine tools and various machine tools.

And it will also be of great help in making firearms and solve countless problems that plague craftsmen.

"Tsk, new ones. This hydraulic machine tool was created half a year ago. Otherwise, it would be better to have 50,000 muskets and nearly one million fixed-load projectiles. Do you think it's so easy to take orders."

"I've made some money this year. Go and fill the sink next to the machine tool with full! Get ready to start construction!"

Fang Shiyu was still excited about the appearance of hydraulic machine tools, but was ridiculed by the craftsman on the side for not seeing the world and was ordered to do an errand.

Fang Shiyu smiled and walked forward, picked up the wooden barrel, and the large reservoir was not far from the sink of the machine tool. He wanted to see what powerful aspects of this hydraulic machine tool were.

Can it meet your expectations?

As Fang Shiyu carried more than ten buckets of water, eight people worked hard for a quarter of an hour. Zhu Yuanzhang stood aside and watched without stopping or helping.

Originally, according to his plan to develop Fang Shiyu, after Fang Shiyu returned, he was just about age. He refused to be an official before he showed up, otherwise he would have to throw this little bastard into his hometown in Fengyang to train.

But now, there is no chance.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Fang Shiyu doing his job with a stern look and agility. He sighed in his heart and said secretly: "We are not thinking about it. Dongsheng Shenzhou, the primitive remnant, has nothing, and can only rely on our own hands."

"He survived for four years, how could he have no knowledge at all?"

As the sink was filled, a craftsman stepped forward and opened the hydraulic machine tool. The structure on the machine tool was not complicated, and the red-burned tubes were beaten by gravity on the machine tool.

After dozens of knocks, there was a drill bit in front of it, which seemed to be tailor-made and buckled in the center of the tube.

As the horsepower increased and the spin became wildly, a half-qualified barrel was successfully created.

What remains is that craftsmen perform more detailed polishing of the inside of the barrel to ensure the structure inside the barrel.

Fang Shiyu looked at the scenes in front of her, and felt inexplicably terrified.

"Mr. Wang said that the reloading rifled rifles have been almost done. After this batch of things is delivered to the court, we will make every effort to develop a new reifed rifled rifles."

The person who spoke was the man who asked Fang Shiyu to fetch water before, and he looked like he was the leader.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion: "Why don't you directly study the reloading rifled rifle, but instead sell the Hongwu Twenty-Four Styles to the court and then study the reloading rifle??"

In this way, if the goods have just been delivered in two years and stronger firearms have been created there, should the court change the firearm troops?

But in this way, how much more will the court spend every year? According to Lao Zhu's intention, it should be done in one step.

The leader glanced at him and smiled and said, "Old guy, don't talk nonsense. Can you think about the difficulty of studying a new firearm?"

"The steps are big, and it is easy to pull the o, and the firearm bureau also requires accumulated experience. Besides, these firearms can only be used to make money by being placed in the court again and again..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and cursed the unscrupulous businessman in his mind. He gritted his teeth and was indignant.

Fang Shiyu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lao Zhu's head and pulled him to the office of the general office.

"Old Zhu, why are you angry? They want to make money, but this big boss has entered the treasury." Fang Shiyu hurriedly comforted him. If Old Zhu was angry and an imperial edict would destroy the firearm manufacturing bureau, the matter would be difficult to deal with.

Why did Fang Shiyu choose to supervise the business office? He provided technical guidance, venues, protection policies, recruited merchants to invest and invest, and was responsible for management and operation.

Only in this way, if these merchants want to make money, they must continue to innovate and innovate. On the other hand, the military battle situation in the court, eating public grain and earning a dead salary, the entire military battle situation is a bit lifeless.

Innovation and development naturally become slow.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The court spent so much money, and then after a few years, I found that what I bought was all rags? Is it going to be eliminated?"

He laughed in his stomach, Fang Shiyu said: "This is not the case. Who said that the court cannot make money? The firearms of the firearms manufacturing bureau can only take over the orders of the court."

"The firearms that were eliminated after training because of new firearms can be placed in other armies or sold to other forces."

"For example, a Hongwu Type 24 musket gun, the imperial court order price is five taels of silver. If you sell it to vassal states such as North Korea and Siam, you can sell it to them fifty taels of silver per pole."

"The court equipped with stronger firearms and sold the eliminated firearms to other vassal states, making a huge profit, but the big deal fell on the court."

"And it is definitely not a matter of making firearms overnight, but it still needs to develop slowly. It is important for the court to give more orders."

Fang Shiyu's face was dull, and selling arms would definitely make money.

With the transformation of firearms, the combat effectiveness of the imperial army has become stronger and stronger, and its control over the sea and borders has become increasingly greater.

Even salt and iron tea cannot go to the grassland, let alone firearms.

Zhu Yuanzhang groaned and said, "Go and see how the reloading rifle research by Mr. Wang is doing! "

However, he turned his head and said, "How can you give me the country's important weapons? If you want to sell muskets to other countries, they will use these things to hit you. How do you do it?"

"Of course it's great. What we sell to them are the things we eliminated from the army of our army. The army that has already equipped new firearms has the ability to reduce dimensionality strikes."

Fang Shiyu's face was calm. If he sold a musket gun, he could earn the value of more than ten musket guns. If he didn't sell it, would he have to stay in the warehouse as a fire stick?

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head without saying a word, and pushed open the door and entered the office.

Although many people here do not know Zhu Yuanzhang, the personal guards who followed Wang Changjian, the officers of General Manager Wang, were all selected by Zhu Yuanzhang from the Jinyiwei.

Although there were people talking behind them along the way and they were not aware of the sternness, they still had no stops when they entered the office.

When Wang Changjian saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Fang Shiyu, he quickly stood up and said, "My minister, the Fire Equipment Manufacturing Bureau supervised Wang Changjian, please ask the saints for your goodbye!"

"Stand up and talk!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, and walked to the chair first to sit down, and Fang Shiyuzuo stood aside.

Looking at the graphics on the table, Zhu Yuanzhang looked deep and said, "Is this the new type of bed transfer equipment you are studying?"

"It's still a bit difficult. Apart from using water as a force and allowing the gear to rotate, the results of the machine running are not very good."

"A few days ago, I thought about it day and night, but I became sick with fatigue. I thought about it for a long time but couldn't get it. Finally, I thought of a better way!"

After Wang Changjiangang finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said suspiciously: "What's the best way?"

Wang Changjian said: "Report to Your Majesty, when I was decorating medicine at home, the boiled water and the power of the mist could lift the lid of the pot."

"So Weichen believes that if we can boil water, using the power of this gas, we should be able to run the large power machinery in the imagine more efficiently."

"The setting of this machine tool is that twenty people can work at the same time, grinding and drilling the barrel. The standard and accuracy of the machine can be more than ten times higher than that of hydraulic machine tools," he said.

"This is also the delusion that I had the confidence to create the first reloading rifled gun of the Ming Dynasty twenty-eight years ago."

Zhu Yuanzhang came here for no reason. Wang Changjian sent the news to the palace. Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he would go out to the temple with him and wanted to go out for a trip, so he came over.

"Your Highness is very knowledgeable. Since you are named by Your Highness, you will call it steam power." Wang Changjian bowed.

He didn't expect that in order to let him do this position, he took out all his assets and invested in the Firearm Manufacturing Bureau. Wang Changjian's man was the highest-stakes merchant among all the money-invested merchants.

A full eight hundred thousand taels of silver.

Fang Shiyu pressed his head and said helplessly: "Steam power is very simple, but as far as I know, if it is possible to enable such a large machine tool, boiling water alone is not enough. It also requires a way to store steam and operate diversifiedly. It is difficult to do it. Do you have any clues?"

Fang Shiyu didn't expect that Wang Changjian was really the material. If the Ming Dynasty could really make this steam-powered large-scale machine tool.

The output of firearms will inevitably increase sharply, and it will not be a problem to install millions of troops within a year.

Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said, "It's useless to say so much. Take it out and see what's true!"

As a pragmatist, Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to listen to others.

If there was really such a strong power that could support such a large equipment to operate, twenty people would build the barrel on one machine at the same time.

The output, qualification, and power of the firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

When Wang Changjian heard this, he didn't dare to say anything. He hurriedly took out a wooden stake-like thing from the cabinet next to him, and the gadget was only the size of two hands.

The middle is connected by a bamboo that connects the inner part, and the other end of the bamboo is connected to a small water basin, which is an iron basin specially designed by Wang Changjian.

Because of the lack of water and the small equipment, he just baked the candle under the small iron basin with a fire candle. For a moment, the seemingly small steam burst out with a terrifying force.

Crunch, crunch.

Wang Changjian started running a machine tool that was made of wood that was so small that it could not be even smaller.

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised to see it, squatted down, looked at the process and said, "If you enlarge it twenty times, isn't that enough?"

"Your Majesty, don't blame me. This little thing is quite suitable to rotate, but if the machine tool is enlarged ten times, the boiler will be enlarged fifteen times for various unexplained reasons."

"If you want a preliminary 20-person machine tool to run, with the power of Weichen Weibo and ignorant opinions, you may have to burn a lot of water and build a very large boiler room."

"I am still exploring to find a solution."

Wang Changjian bowed and said to the end.

Fang Shiyu paused and looked at Wang Changjian and said, "What if you follow your current method to make sure that this steam can run?"

"It can be operated naturally, but the consumption of water is too high and it will waste a lot, so I don't recommend this method."

Wang Changjian bowed and said.
