Ji Yi looked at Liang Zimei with a wry smile and sighed, "Sir Liang, do you really think that the five of our Hebei provinces and thirty-eight schools can really create how many available military armor and armor equipment?"

Excluding the military weapon arsenal directly under the jurisdiction of the Xuanfu Department of Hebei, there are five arsenals and thirty-eight arsenals in the Northern Song Dynasty, including 42 arsenals in Hebei (not counting the Hailu Supervisor, but including Cangzhou) in total!

The large number is a bit striking. There are 42 arsenals on the Hebei Road of Dasong, which is a little smaller than that of Hebei Province in later generations. It sounds like a little ****. However, the size of these forty-two arsenals is a bit ridiculous.

Among them, the largest Hebei Road Duzuoyuan (under the jurisdiction of the Hebei Road Transportation Commander), has less than 500 military craftsmen, which are posts, not craftsmen who really work in the Duzuoyuan workshops located in Xiangzhou and Cizhou. Because of the lack of preparation of items, there is no work to do, officials occupying the service, and craftsmen go to Jiehe Shang City to work or start a business, now there are less than 50 military craftsmen in the workshops in Cizhou. And they are all craftsmen who are old and sick and cannot do their jobs.

All the Hebei Road workplaces are like this, let alone the rest of the smaller workplaces.

If Ji Yi had been working for Hebei Road, those high-level craftsmen who worked and started businesses in Jiehe Commercial City would not come back. The money they earned at least ten times more in Jiehe Commercial City than the ones they gave to Hebei Road. However, the officials in charge of the Yuanzhong Institute also had a way to hand in the office, which was nothing more than spending money to hire temporary workers or simply asking Xiangzhou and Cizhou yamen to find some people in the Farmer City to make up their numbers. How is this kind of craftsmanship? What kind of weapons can be created? You can figure it out with your butt.

However, Ji Yi himself is also a profiteer, so of course he knows this unspoken rule.

In fact, the Jijia Shipyard he opened in Jingdong Shop City poached more than half of the military craftsmen in the shipbuilding yard under the jurisdiction of the Southeast Sixth Route Large Shipbuilding Department. The sixth Route Shipbuilding yard could not build ships and could only spend money to buy from the shipyard in Jingdong Shop City.

Liang Zimei is also a capable official, so she naturally knows that Du Zuoyuan and Zuoyuan are unreliable. He sighed and said, "If you don't need Du Zuoyuan and Zuoyuan's weapons, where can you produce weapons? Do you have to be transferred from the military weapon supervision? This is not easy to do!"

Military weapon surveillance is one of the five supervisors, and it is a direct agency of the Northern Song Dynasty court. The officials in charge of military weapon surveillance generally have fourth-rank and fifth-rank officials, which may be a little older than Ji Yi. If the Hebei Transportation Commission requests the court to allocate weapons from the military weapon surveillance, there will be no room for picky choice. Even if the people given are decayed and unusable, the Hebei Transportation Commission can only eat.

As for the quality of weapons produced by military weapon supervision, it is better than that of local hospitals and hospitals. However, the good ones are limited. Anyway, the newly built model new army complains about the weapons provided by military weapon supervision. Of course, they can only complain in private, but they dare not.

The head of the Military Weapons is mostly a dignified fourth-rank civil servant. How could a model new army warrior offend?

"How can we bear the military weapon surveillance guy?" Ji Yi shook her head slightly, "But we can't follow the old methods and send the state's public funds to more than 40 as a hospital."

"Don't give money?" Xu Jiang interrupted, "How can they buy materials and hire craftsmen if they don't give money?"

"It's not that I don't give money," Ji Yi said, "You have to take out good things before you can give money! Can those in the hospital take out good things now? I don't have high requirements, just like Jiehe Crossbow and Jiangzi Jia."

This is not a high requirement!?

Fortunately, the officials in the court were not here, otherwise they would have to vomit blood. In the eyes of experts in the Northern Song Dynasty military weapon business, Jiehe Crossbow and Jingzijia were both magical tools!

Of course, it is not impossible to do military weapon surveillance. To be honest, there are experts in the military weapon surveillance. If you use good materials to work carefully, the divine arm bow and wart armor will be much better than those produced by Jiehe.

However, the Jiehe Crossbow and Wart Armor produced by Jiehe are both mass-produced! Moreover, the output is still large and the quality is very stable, which is amazing!

"Brother Chongdao," Ji Yi did not explain to Xu General Liang Zimei, but asked Wu Haogu directly, "Do you think our Transportation Institution can compare with your weapons room in Xuanfu Department?"

Wu Haogu smiled and thought to himself: How is it possible? His weapon room is actually a "assembly factory". The components used to assemble Jiangzi Jia and Jiehe Crossbow were bidding and purchased from various merchants in Jiehe Commercial City and JD Commercial City.

In other words, behind the weapons room of Xuanfusi is the handicraft system of Jiehe Shang City and JD Shang City!

The best iron factories, wooden factories (including shipyards, vehicle factories, furniture factories, etc.), and leather goods factories will be mass-produced based on the components samples produced by Xuanfusi's weapons room. Then they will be sent to the assembly factory in Jiehe Shang City, where the craftsmen in the weapons room are responsible for assembly.

In addition, Xuanfusi's weapons room has very few product lines. There are only ten types of products, including wart armor (including helmets), long spears, cavalry rifles (not horse snails), river crossbows, step bows, fan shields, straight knives, war horse harness equipment, burst rockets, black gunpowder, etc. And there are no high-quality products, they are all big products.

As for military flags, military jackets, military boots, leather armor (including leather helmets), chain mail, eight-ox crossbow, stone-firing tools, various vehicles, various non-standard swords, various blunt weapons, large wooden slats, javelins, vine shields, various arrowheads and other non-standard weapons, or equipment with huge demand but relatively low profit margins, all of them are given by the Ducai craftsman of the weapon room, and are manufactured by other factory workshops.

Without the support of the handicraft industry with complete categories in the two major commercial cities, Xuanfusi's weapons room could not even be opened.

This model of splitting parts and processes, and producing through standardization and strengthening of labor, as well as the division of labor between different types of jobs and factories, has almost all produced a prototype of the later Taylor and Ford production.

Of course, it is just a little bit of a prototype. After all, it is not the era of large-scale mechanized industry. The only thing that can be associated with machines is the hydraulic hammer used to forge the blades of the wart armor.

Ji Yi looked at Wu Haogu, but asked and answered: "For me, we all have hospitals in Hebei, which are not as good as the weapons room of Xuanfusi. It is not even as good as one-tenth of the weapons room of Xuanfusi!

But our city and school office can learn from the weapons room of Xuanfu Department. We can copy the weapons room according to the purpose of how the weapons room is made. We pay attention to the huge scale of the weapons room, so we will merge the hospitals in various places, and concentrate them in Daming Mansion. The output of weapons is limited, so let’s not mess around. There are eight types of weapons room that I think will be enough. The weapons room will buy parts from outside, so we can also buy... Brother Chongdao, if the Daming Mansion Dahuo Department is built by my brother, you have to give me some advice from the weapons room of Xuanfu Department!”

Wu Haogu laughed: "I dare not give advice, learn from each other! There must be my teacher when I walk through three people. I believe that there is something good about the school.

However, the principle of comparing the three companies is still to be discussed. When Brother Yizhi’s large capital school is opened, we will have to buy weapons from all over the Hebei army and the regiments to buy them, and we will have to compete for it! Brother Yizhi thinks what?"

Ji Yi smiled and glanced at the four comforters and an inner official sitting in the room, "Everyone, what do you think? Do you want to merge the courtyards of various prefectures and prefectures to make a big one?"

This is to seize our power!

The four generals, Xu Jiang, Liang Zimei, Ye Zuqia and Wang Qi, all their faces turned dark. They didn't understand that Ji Yi was the one who had used the power to build weapons in the 38th Army Prefectures of the Fourth Route of Hebei. They all received the power to transfer the troops to the Transportation Office.

But it doesn't seem to be okay if you don't agree to this matter! Just the more than 40 hospitals in the Fourth Hebei Road are all at the level of hospitals. If the weapons they built are equipped with new troops and militias, it would be too dangerous. At least Liang Zimei, Ye Zuqia and Wang Qing, who were pushed in front, were very scared... This is a matter of life-and-life ties!

...

"Brother Yizhi, thanks to you for your help this time. Thank you Haogu!"

"Why do you thank me? You are all working for the government. If you can block Yelu Yanxi from the country this time, you will have a lot of contributions!"

"It just cost ten thousand yuan for the official family..."

"It's worth it! After spending this money, the military and even weapons production and material reserves in Hebei will all reach a level. The situation in Jiehe Market can increase by at least 50%, and it is possible that the population exceeds 300,000! With such a foundation, at most ten years, you can launch troops to attack Liao! It's a great achievement!"

"I hope the government can give this opportunity..."

While riding a horse, they were talking about Wu Haogu and Ji Yi.

The meeting between all major members from Hebei, known as the "Daming Conference" by later generations, took place for seven days. In addition to formulating several major policies such as "building a castle, building a group training, and cooperating institute", many specific details were also discussed.

Now that the "Daming Conference" has finally ended successfully, a lot of joint memorials have been handed over. While waiting for Zhao Ji's approval, Wu Haogu and Ji Yi went to Xiangzhou near Daming Prefecture. They were visiting Han Zhongyan from the Han family in Xiangzhou, hoping to invite Han Qi's eldest son to come forward and call for group training.

This matter is actually not a good thing for the Han family in Xiangzhou! A Han family leader who retired from his home, as soon as he climbed the high place, he could only hear thousands of men. No matter how he looked, he was a little too big!

However, if you need to organize a Hebei regiment training, only Han Zhongyan from the Han family in Xiangzhou can come out and take the lead. Once the Hebei regiment training is established, if the Jin soldiers want to go south in the future, Hebei will not be able to get through.
