Chapter 438

Although Ma Yunshan is the head of the Construction Office, who can't care about the situation outside recently?

This guy is also very clear about the situation outside. No matter how the Qing court cheers them up, they all know that the tail of the Qing court's rabbit cannot grow.

They have already reached Tongzhou, and they are strong and powerful. Look at your Qing Dynasty, they all want to run back to Liaodong, which is not of the same level at all.

After today and tomorrow, this is what Ma Yunshan wants. Being able to make excuses about the matter in front of him is his biggest wish now. As for what will happen in the future, this guy doesn't even think about it.

"Return to the paintings of the Regent, this kind of musket craft is too so so we dare not neglect at all. Dozens of people have been working here for half a month, so they have made less than forty muskets. If they work overtime, they can produce up to twenty muskets every day, which is already at the limit. If they continue to increase, there is probably no way to guarantee the quality."

Ma Yunshan and his team's productivity is slightly higher than this, but this guy is not a fool. He deliberately said the numbers so low. Now he has to say the difficulties. If you brag everywhere, it may be difficult for you to get back.

After hearing Ma Yunshan's words, the people behind immediately disappeared from their faces. They just saw that there was nothing wrong with firing two shots, and they thought the Qing Dynasty also had their own muskets!

Now it instantly falls into the ice hole, and only twenty muskets can be produced a day. What's the use? Isn't this a drop in the bucket?

There were only one sold in the army of the Ming Dynasty. Even if we were producing with all our strength, we could only have 600 muskets per month, which would have no help with the situation on the battlefield.

The smile on Dorgon's face disappeared. He was very satisfied with the quality of these muskets just now, but now he is not satisfied with the quantity of these muskets.

If the Southern Ming Dynasty had not yet come, we would have enough time to accumulate a batch of muskets, and now they have already hit Tongzhou. If it were based on this production quantity, it would probably not be used at all.

"If you don't believe it, you can send special personnel to station us. Our thousands of brothers really have no rest. Look at the people outside, their eyes are already dark."

Ma Yunshan pointed to the people working outside and said that Dorgon was still very relieved about the work of these people.

If these people had not worked day and night, they would probably not even have the results in front of them, but Dorgon was really uncomfortable with the output of twenty muskets every day.

"Master Ma misunderstood. I am not convinced that I don't believe what you said, but the output is too low. I believe you have heard from others that there are more than 100,000 muskets in the Ming army. If we can't compare with them, we must have at least 100,000 or 20,000 to cooperate with the impact of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry in this way, so that they can deal severe damage to them on the battlefield. If there were twenty muskets a day, it would be too few."

If Ma Yunshan was not the head of the construction office, if they had not developed a musket, how could Dorgon talk to them in a kind manner?

Among all the Han ministers, except for Fan Wencheng who has such treatment, no one else has such treatment at all.

Ma Yunshan has no way out now. He already has an idea in his mind, but no matter how he realizes this idea, he must first pass the hurdle in front of him.

"If the Regent insists on speeding up, some of the muskets may have defective products, and our staff also needs to be increased, at least 2,500 people."

Ma Yunshan first talked about the ugly words and proposed a solution that could not be solved. If Dorgon had 2,500 craftsmen in his hands, we could increase the speed here.

If not, just treat it as nonsense.

Ma Yunshan also took retreat as an advance and kicked the ball at Dorgon's feet to see if Dorgon has the ability. If you can't solve the problem of craftsmen, I will naturally not be able to solve the problem of output for you.

"There is another thing, that is, after adding these new craftsmen, they are definitely not very skilled, so when producing muskets, some materials will inevitably be damaged. In the past, the cost of a musket was about 80 taels of silver. If these newcomers were adopted, it would probably increase to 110 taels of silver."

Before Dorgon could make his statement, Ma Yunshan had already put all the difficulties here, hoping that Dorgon could retreat due to the difficulties.

Whether it is employed or spent money, his place is not a small place. If it were the Qing Dynasty that once unified the world, this little money would be nothing, but now there is only this area around the capital, which is not a decimal.

Dorgon frowned, and Ma Yunshan also felt that Dorgon would definitely retreat due to the difficulties.

"no problem……"

Who knew that Dorgon slapped the table and agreed to this matter.

Although there is still a shortage of one thousand craftsmen, some areas in the north are still under the control of the Qing Dynasty. If they treat this matter as a big thing, then it will not be difficult for these thousand craftsmen.

As for the silver that Ma Yunshan needs, it is even more of a problem. Although the national treasury is empty, there are so many big households in the capital that they can spend a lot of money by simply visiting the two companies. If they are unwilling to take it out, don’t blame the court for being cruel.

Ma Yunshan was confused about the situation next time. He had no idea when Dorgon and the others left. He only knew that he had caused a big disaster and made such a big request. How should he accomplish this matter in the future?

"My Lord Ma, what should we do about this matter? How can we speed up production? And what is produced is a batch of waste, don't you know, now the Regent will come to check in ten days, where can we get so much? And now the court has no more money, and you have used so much money. Will our whole family have to ask for the beheading?"

After Dorgon and his team walked away, the other officials of the Bureau of the Imperial Affairs Office were immediately dissatisfied, and the voices of these people were filled with crying voices.

They just wanted to stand up and accuse Ma Yunshan, but they didn't have the courage. If they really stood up, they would probably have no brains now...
