Whether it is copper or iron, you can buy it as long as you have money.

Although the Ming Dynasty was a specialty for salt and iron, such as the salt transportation department and the iron was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue Qingli Department. However, by the Wanli period, both salt and iron had been transferred from official offices to private offices, or the commercial monopoly system allowed by the government.

Therefore, as long as my father-in-law has money, he can buy all the raw materials needed by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. The problem is, my father-in-law does not want the raw materials to be stuck in others' hands. In this case, the risk will be great.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the ironware will be relaxed, and it will be closely related to the government. For example, the ironware in the two capitals and thirteen provinces was released, but that is only in China. If you want to sell ironware outside the pass, it will be extremely difficult. Because this is a collaboration between the enemy.

The identity of Eunuch Wei is destined to be unable to pee in the same pot as the government and local governments, which cannot guarantee that the supply of raw materials for the father-in-law will not be intentionally cut off. After all, he offended too much.

Therefore, you must have your own mine.

Having a mine at home is the standard for the rich.

Mining, mine...

My father-in-law suddenly laughed. He was so lucky that he didn't know how lucky he was.

How do you forget the mining supervisor?

The emperor has taken over all the mines in the world to the inner court!

It is said that Wanli competes with the people for profit, and the profits they compete for mainly refer to mining profits!

Why did Wanli ask for Guang to send a mining supervisor? Isn’t it because he can’t even collect a penny of this mining tax?

There is no mining supervisor on the Nanzhi side, but there are iron plants, Tongshan and Liyang. In name, it is managed by the Jinyiwei Nanfu Department. But now my father-in-law doesn’t know who it is doing. There is copper mine in Xuzhou, but if you want to say that the one who is most impressed is undoubtedly Ma'anshan.

It’s easy to deal with if there is a mine. One mine is 10,000 taels. I think the emperor should be satisfied with the price. No matter what, Xiao Wei just gave you 100,000 taels. If you don’t look at the face of the people, you have to look at the face of the money.

This matter is not difficult at all. Isn’t it a trivial matter to have an eunuch of a certain mine in addition to the title of maritime eunuch of the admiral? Chen Zeng could ask for himself as the Dongchang Mine Tax, and Wei Liangchen could also ask for himself.

What is this? This is taking the initiative to share the worries for the emperor and actively generate income for the leader. There is no reason not to agree to the leader.

As for what the original "bosses" in the mines think, my father-in-law doesn't care. If they know their father-in-law, they can cooperate with them. If they don't know their father-in-law, let them taste the power of the iron fist of the dictatorship.

How bold a person is, how rich the land is.

My father-in-law was happy that he could quickly sort out the resources and integrate them. So he walked around the boat, one to show off in front of the officers and soldiers to inspire them, and the other to see if there is any place for these cannons to be improved immediately.

Time is money, and speed is life.

No matter whether it is a bad gun or a good gun, it is a good gun to be able to shoot it first than others!

"It's so that my father-in-law knows that all artillery of the same caliber, no matter the style, the charges here are the same, and there is no difference. In other words, some cannons may charge five or six taels, while others only have two or three taels..."

Wang Dali followed his father-in-law with a group of subordinates and introduced a few words from time to time. He dared not underestimate Eunuch Wei now, because his father-in-law said something casually, which would always make them unable to respond for a while, but what his father-in-law said was very reasonable, not the kind of random fingering of an outsider.

I think this is where talent is different from ordinary people. Otherwise, why are human beings and fathers? They are not fathers.

After hearing Wang Dali’s talk about loading medicine, my father-in-law thoughtfully. He looked at the gunner who was loading medicine, smiled, patted the gunner on the shoulder, and said in a harmonious voice: "Little kid, do you know how much medicine this gun can load at a time? You can’t install it wrong, right?"

The gunner was not younger than Eunuch Wei, but the father-in-law's "little ghost" made the man tremble and said nervously: "No...No, no, I'm so familiar with this gun, I dare not pretend to be wrong."

The father-in-law laughed and pointed to another cannon not far away: "You won't install this cannon wrong, so how about changing that cannon? Can you guarantee that you won't install it wrong?"

"this…"

The gunner was also a little uncertain about this. He had been firing the bronze cannon. If it were the iron cannon, although he knew how much it should be installed, some deviations would definitely be inevitable.

Wang Dali explained on the side: "Dadlock, each cannon has a special gunner. The gunners are familiar with the cannons. It's okay to install a lot of medicine. If you say you can install five taels, you won't be able to charge one more yuan. Don't worry, this old man. Moreover, each cannon is equipped with a scale."

"Don't worry? Each gun has a special gunner, but when the war starts, what if the gunner and the drug filler of this gun are killed, and other gunners come to load the medicine? Who can guarantee that he will not load the wrong medicine? If we don't tell me the consequences of loading the wrong medicine, you will understand."

What are the consequences of putting the wrong medicine?

Just explode!

Wang Dali whispered and did not dare to speak.

The father-in-law said a little unhappy: "You guys, why do you have to let the gunners calculate it themselves? Can't you weigh the weight every time you fire the gun? The water surface will be calm now. If it is on the sea, with strong winds and waves, can the weight be held firmly?"

"Yes, yes, my father-in-law taught me a lesson."

Wang Dali nodded and his subordinates were like chickens.

"It's not that we teach a lesson or not, but that you have to think of ways to improve this matter. If you find a problem, you will correct it in time. You can't wait until the war is over before you get a fight."

My father-in-law regretted that iron would not be strong. If Wang Dali had not made an indelible contribution to the establishment of the Royal Navy, he would have wished he would have withdrawn immediately.

Of course, this is also in a hurry to think about it. My father-in-law would definitely not do this. When the navy was first launched, his father-in-law pointed at Wang Dali and his group of Guangdong generals to stabilize the navy. If Wang Dali was withdrawn, his morale would immediately become unstable.

"Everyone said, there are any ways to improve it. We work on site. We can say that no matter whether it is an official or a soldier, whoever proposed the method is reasonable, and the reward of 100 taels of silver will be given, and the additional position will be given."

My father-in-law is really a decisive person. He will never leave what he does today until tomorrow.

When they heard that there was a reward, the officers and soldiers immediately became lively and made plans, but they didn't say it to the point. Wang Dali also put forward an idea, meaning that the cannons on each ship were arranged in a unified manner, that is, the same caliber was placed on a boat. In this way, there would be no problem of filling the medicine error without miscellaneous cannons.

This method is good, the question is not the answer my father-in-law wants!

It doesn’t help to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it doesn’t make sense to change it. Besides, there are so many unified caliber artillery for naval assembly.

"Li Yanzhao, tell me."

The father-in-law pointed to the small flag Li Yanzhao who was silently standing next to the last officer from the crowd. The man's sentence "one sentence is the best for three sentences" the day before yesterday was very pleased by his father-in-law.

Li Yanzhao seemed to have been thinking about this matter, but he didn't know whether it was feasible. Therefore, he was a little nervous when Eunuch Wei named him. However, seeing that everyone and his father-in-law were looking at him, he couldn't tolerate him thinking about it, so he had to say it first.

"You are a father-in-law, I think that as long as I pack the medicine in a regular dose and indicate which kind of cannon it is used, it can be poured into the cannon when used. In this way, no matter which kind of cannon it is or what environment it is, you will not be able to make any mistakes."

After saying this method, many officers nodded. They were all old soldiers and those who had truly seen blood naturally understood that this method was better than what General Wang said.

"No, this is a good method."

The answer in my father-in-law's mind was actually this quantitative charge. The reason why he did not say it was because he asked the officers and soldiers to discuss it themselves. He thought it was because he wanted the officers and soldiers to gather thoughts. Three cobblers were better than one Zhuge Liang. As long as he developed this good habit, he could promote many changes in the future.

When Li Yanzhao heard that Eunuch Wei said that his method was good, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"People say that the difference between the two is like a mountain, and the words are true, but the outsider of our family thinks it is good when he hears it. As senior generals of the navy, why can't you think of it one by one? You must let the gunner estimate it yourself? Small things can be seen, and details determine success or failure."

My father-in-law spoke earnestly, and he had high hopes for the Navy.

"It's not just the navy, but your army is the same. The matter of quantitative and assembly of medicines should be done immediately. Remember, don't treat this matter as a trivial matter. Only by always faster than others can you live! Only by living can you get promoted and make money."

My father-in-law's heart-wrenching words made the generals feel deeply.

"Well, the method is what you think. I will leave this matter to you. At the latest, our family will see the results, what needs, what to make a list, how much money will be, our family will give it. In short, you must do this matter well. Once it is done, our family will protect you a hundred households. If it is not done well, continue to be your small banner."

After Eunuch Wei finished speaking, he nodded to Li Yanzhao, who was surprised, and then walked to the ship and ordered a second round of artillery attack.

The second round of artillery bombardment is also a signal. The letter sign on the outside of several sections of the city walls in Zhenjiang has already been on the shore and will immediately blast after hearing the signal.

"After stripping them, our family doesn't believe that they won't cover their crotch!"

Wang Dali immediately ordered the flag bearer to sing the flag language to notify the ships to fire the fire. The flag language was originally owned by the navy, and it was much simpler than the flag language of later generations.

After seeing the general's grand squad ship sing the flag, each ship immediately ordered the gunners to take their seats. Soon, the second round of artillery fired.

The Navy Mobile Detachment participated in this joint military exercise, a total of 4 lucky ships, 2 three-masted gunships, 8 floor ships, 7 blue ships, 10 coastal defense ships, and 5 other miscellaneous ships.

Each ship carries 185 artillery pieces (including the Folang machine), 210 light and heavy copper and iron cannons, more than 120 tiger squat cannons, and 1,720 troops participating, which is almost three-quarters of the power of the mobile detachment.

The second round of artillery will last for a stick of incense, and the medicines and bullets consumed for this are quite expensive. Therefore, before the operation, generals such as Wang Dali persuaded Eunuch Wei to reduce the artillery hours to save gunpowder.

But Eunuch Wei waved his hand and said that if he didn't defeat Zhenjiang City, what's the use of no matter how many medicines and shells he had? He could hit hard, so he didn't have to save money for him.

The Admiral said so, what else can the Navy say?
