Chapter 34 Bayonet Technique
Hu Dedi's heart tightened, and the craftsmen looked at each other, and they all hurriedly responded. Zhu Cilang said to Xiao Weizi: "Call Wu Zhang Seal in."
Xiao Weizi shouted: "Wu Zhang Seal, the prince summoned him."
Wu Zhangyin hurriedly ran in: "Please give orders to the Crown Prince."
Zhu Cixuan looked at him and asked, "I will use a firearm workshop for two months. The craftsman's food and wages will be transferred from the Prince's Mansion, so you must not interfere."
Wu Zhangyin's face was twisted in embarrassment: "Your Highness, you are looking for firearms everywhere. I can't afford to offend you, Liaodong, Governor Hong, Governor Lu, and others. If you only give birth to Your Highness for two months, they..."
Zhu Cixuan looked at him lightly: "You can't afford to offend them, can you offend me?"
Wu Zhangyin was so scared that he knelt down: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Zhu Ciyang continued to say lightly: "I used my father's permission to produce firearms and I also greeted you, Eunuch Cao. What? My father and Eunuch Cao's words are not as good as those of a few foreign ministers who rolled their noses and glared at me?"
Wu Zhangyin didn't dare to say anything: "I don't mean that. I will do my best to produce the muskets that His Highness the Crown Prince wants, and I will never be able to omit it at all."
Zhu Ciyang nodded and stood up: "This is like human words. Why are you trying to fight me with sloppy! Does anyone dare to use the muskets from your military battle? Which of them is not someone else who is looking for someone else to build them? You can send fewer muskets to the front line, and the Ming Dynasty's official army can also kill a few of them by their own muskets!"
Wu Zhangyin was so scared that he dared not explain. Zhu Cixuan stood up and left directly, without looking at Wu Zhangyin.
After leaving the military battle, Zhu Cilang was a little irritable. Xiao Weizi led the carriage south. Zhu Cilang lifted the curtain and looked at the lake in Taiye Pond, and calmed down slowly. Although it was too late, he still had to do it one by one, and it was useless to be anxious.
Today, I was planning to go to Huangming Carriage and Horse to see it. The side van array will be an important equipment to resist Jianlu for a long time. If I don’t go to see their production, Zhu Cilang was always a little worried.
It was already half a day when he arrived at the place. The shopkeeper Jia Xing stood at the door. Zhu Cilang got off the carriage and knelt down. He shouted at the Qiansui of the Prince. Zhu Cilang suddenly realized that he was too anxious to come out and forgot to change his usual conventions.
Looking at the lively carriage factory and the crowd of people, I had to secretly leave the palace and become like this. I don’t know what kind of trouble it would cause. I have to wear crown clothes when I go to court, and I have to go back to the East Palace to change my regular clothes every time. It would be great if there was a RV.
Since I thought about it, how could Zhu Cilang miss it: "Jia Xing, right? Come here, the Lone King wants a car, which looks like an ordinary four-wheeled carriage. But there must be a wardrobe, bed and soft chair inside, and a small table that can write and eat."
Jia Xing thought for a while and asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, these scriptures are all prepared. Is Your Highness the Crown Prince asking us to prepare a set?"
Zhu Cilang shook his head: "What I want is a car with all these things! It is not something that Diancheng can change and tinker as needed. This kind of car is suitable for medium and long distance travel. People can sit and lie in the car. The bed should be made of good cotton, and soft grass is placed on the bottom. The chair is the same. There is a wardrobe that can be used to change clothes, which can be replaced in the car."
Jia Xing probably understood what Zhu Cilang meant: "Yes, I will make people prepare for this."
"Then you don't have to worry, just keep it in mind. Let's take a look at your production situation first. How many cars can you build in a day now?"
Jia Xing quickly flattered: "Crown Prince, please please, I will lead you. This is the way of the crown prince. I will follow His Highness's method. Now I can produce ten carriages a day. This car can earn more than ten taels of silver, and this month can earn at least twenty thousand taels of taels of silver."
Zhu Ciyang nodded with satisfaction: "How is the production plant in Tongzhou ready?"
"When I go back to the prince, the land has been bought there, and there are still several courtyard walls that need to be opened. The floor needs to be leveled and bricks are laid. It is estimated that the feeding of production tools will be started at the end of the month. One line will be opened in mid-May, and one will be added every ten days in the future. By the end of July, ten production lines will be started."
Zhu Cixuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is the output?"
"Because there are mainly flatbed trucks for cargo delivery, the process is simpler, and each line can produce at least twenty vehicles every day." Jia Xing introduced to Zhu Cixuan while leading the way.
Zhu Cixuan was quite satisfied with this speed. The production line there was no better than here. Here were excellent craftsmen dispatched from internal supervision. The large-scale production of flat four-wheeled carriages could only recruit craftsmen from the people. The ability to achieve this speed proves that they have put in the effort.
Originally, Zhu Cixuan planned to build a car factory with two or three production lines in Tongzhou. The freight was developed as the end point of the canal. If Zhu Cixuan wanted to transfer grain and medicine to Beijing and Shanxi, he had to transfer land from there. The materials used to make cars in various places would also be traded there, that is, close to the raw material production and the consumer market.
However, with the proposal of Zhu Cixuan's mining plan, the demand for carriages has increased a lot at once. With the current production capacity, I am afraid that it will not be enough for me to sell it.
So the three lines become ten lines, and after they are all built, they can produce 200 trucks a day, so Zhu Cilang doesn't have to worry about the lack of carriages.
The production here also uses piecework, that is, every time a car is produced, the entire production line will be rewarded, so even if the Prince's Palace comes down, everyone just glances at it occasionally and does not stop their work.
There is no conveyor belt or hoisting machine, and this original production line is just to assemble the wheels first and then combine them with the frame, so that people are sent forward to the next process.
After seeing it all, it was almost dusk. Without any greetings, Zhu Cilang hurriedly got on the carriage and returned to the palace.
On the way back, Zhu Cixuan called Li Ruolian to get in the car: "Li Qianhu? How about asking you to release the prince to recruit martial arts masters?"
Li Ruolian clasped his fists and said, "Report to the prince that he has released news from the world and the rogues in the capital. Recently, many good players have come from other places to wait to participate in the world's No. 1 martial arts competition at the end of the month."
Zhu Ciyang nodded: "By the end of the month, the first batch of new muskets have been built. As soon as the competition is over, they will ask them to design a set of bayonet fighting techniques for Gu!"
Li Ruolian looked at Zhu Cilang's look of wanting to speak but stopping. Zhu Cilang tapped the table with his finger: "If you have anything, just say it."
"Report to the prince that I was born in a martial arts scholar. Although I am not the top scholar, I can't get close to one or twenty people. Why didn't the prince ask me and my colleagues to design a bayonet fighting technique, but instead look far away?"
Zhu Cilang blinked: "You are underestimating the heroes of the world. It's not that I don't believe you, but this bayonet fighting technique will affect the life and death of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers. Every time you have a point, you will not know how many soldiers can survive. Therefore, I must gather the strengths of a hundred schools and make this bayonet technique the ultimate!"
"Yes, the prince cherishes his soldiers, and his benevolence makes me admire him."
