Yang Lian pursed the corner of his lips and said with a little resentment: "It's just honored by the queen. I don't understand why you are so flattering?"

Zhao Nanxing shook his head gently and said, "Wenru, this is a serious statement! It's just that he has the meaning of being intimate, so how can he talk about flattering him? Furthermore, Zhang Guozhang also admires Donglin's theory and has a similar intention."

Yang Lian didn't say anything, feeling disdainful, but it was not easy to bother and argue in such an occasion.

How could he not understand the thoughts of these people? He influenced the queen through Zhang Guoji and then influenced the emperor through the queen. Even if it cannot be affected, it is very useful to reveal the emperor's joys and anger and thoughts.

Ye Xianggao gently put down his wine glass and said slowly: "If Zhang Guozhang has some concerns, there is no need to force him."

Gao Panlong nodded slightly and said, "What the Master said is very true. As the saying goes: "It's not a business to go up and go. We are condescending, and he has a cold face, which is meaningless."

Sun Shenxing looked at this and that, and his face was unhappy. You said this easily now. It was not the idea that everyone had discussed at the beginning. He took advantage of the complicated ceremony of the emperor's wedding and got married with Zhang Guojiduo.

But no one comforted him because everyone's eyes were focused on a minister who was summoned by the emperor.

Xu Guangqi was suddenly promoted by the young emperor, and every report was correct, and the sages were made.

"I congratulate Your Majesty on your wedding." Xu Guangqi gave a gift and congratulated him, and then reported: "Zhang Tao, Sun Xueshi has purchased twenty-two cannons in Macau. The Portuguese people have very favorable prices. At the request of the court, they provide more than 20 Portuguese gunners and an interpreter. Zhang Tao will be escorted to Beijing soon."

After the war broke out in the Ming and Jin Dynasties, although the Ming army had many firearms, more defeats were more defeated, and the situation in Liaodong became increasingly worse.

At that time, Xu Guangqi submitted a memorial to the court, advocating the introduction of advanced Western firearms and training methods to re-arm the Ming army in order to reverse the decline in the battlefield in Liaodong.

In the first year of Taichang, the court approved it, and Xu Guangqi then entrusted Li Zhizao and others to send Zhang Tao and Sun Xueshi to Macau to buy firearms from Portuguese merchants.

After several choices, Zhang Tao and others purchased four red cannons. After the test firing, the power was indeed amazing.

After listening to the report from Zhang Tao and others, Xu Guangqi immediately wrote to the court: "Now the current situation is the only firearm, the ultimate power... the one who can defeat the enemy is the only one of the Divine Power Cannons."

Although the bureaucrats in the Ming court were quite inefficient in their work and did not pay attention to the muskets and artillery of the Westerners, after repeated discussions, they sent Zhang Tao and Sun Xueshi as the imperial envoy to Macau to buy artillery and hire Western artillery masters. This happened before Ye Xuan traveled through time.

Whether it was Taichang or the decision made by True Apocalypse. Ye Xuan, the current Emperor of Apocalypse, was still so excited that it was hard to express when he heard this news.

This is exactly what he wants to do. Since he has done it in advance, he will take over and continue to carry it forward.

"Where are the Portuguese muskets? Will a team of musketeers come?" Zhu Youxiao asked anxiously: "Have you hired the Portuguese technician who made guns and cannons?"

Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "Your Majesty's order is issued later, and the Portuguese have to make some preparations. The imperial envoy Sun Xueshi will stay in Macau and continue to fulfill the mission delivered by Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked Xu Guangqi: "The quality of bird guns made in the military weapon prison has been found? Is it iron, smelting, or the method of making it?"

Xu Guangqi was a little hesitant, but he still said truthfully: "According to the investigation and analysis of Weichen, the quality of firearms in the military instrument prison is poor, and the most important thing is the disadvantages of the craftsmanship system."

After pausing, Xu Guangqi continued: "During the Wanli period, Zhao Shizhen, the secretary of the Wuying Palace, had an intricate analysis. I have summarized and written a memorial and presented it to the imperial examination tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Zhu Youxiao frowned and asked, "Have you ever brought the memorial with you? Now let me see it."

"Today is the day of your great joy--" Xu Guangqi hesitated for a moment and said, "So I have not led the memorial."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Xu Qing, let me briefly explain that I also have some understanding of the drawbacks of this craftsman system."

Seeing that the young emperor was so anxious, Xu Guangqi was very pleased with concern for national affairs. He carefully considered the following words and tried to briefly explain them in popular words.

Zhao Shizhen was an outstanding firearm development expert in the Ming Dynasty. He developed and improved a variety of firearms throughout his life. He was good at writing and poetry. He also wrote "The Artifact Score", "The Artifact Score or Questions", "Anti-Article of the Artifacts", "Anti-Article of the Artifacts", "Anti-Article of the Artifacts", "Anti-Article of the Artifacts", and "Anti-Administering the Carriage and Guns" and other discussions on the development, use and training of firearms.

In the history of ancient Chinese science and technology, Zhao Shizhen was able to be alongside Ming Dynasty scientists Song Yingxing and Xu Guangqi, and was a very awesome person.

In "The Artifacts", Zhao Shizhen compared Lumi guns, bird guns, Western guns, and Japanese iron cannons, and found that Lumi had the best performance, Western guns ranked second, Japanese iron cannons ranked third, and bird cannons ranked bottom.

During the process of studying firearms, Zhao Shizhen also discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the performance of the genuine military bird guns in the Ming Dynasty was not as good as that of the pirated bird guns in the folk. The latter was exported to Southeast Asia and was popular among the locals.

After analysis, Zhao Shizhen found the reason and believed that China was not unable to create excellent firearms, but because of its stupid and backward system.

China is unwilling to be very skilled, and it is necessary to be very skilled. This sentence reveals the fact that the Ming Dynasty's ordnance production lacks supervision and shoddy production.

"... All our Chinese belong to the public family, and there are officials who do not know how to build, generals and officials do not know how to use them, soldiers do not know how to dispose of their duties, and craftsmen will definitely not be willing to do their best in public affairs. The officials who supervise the public are willing to save themselves, and those who are unconscious will overcome them. Once they save, they will be difficult to practice the law. Since there is no profit in front of them, they will not be afraid of the law behind them. It is enough to be simple in the upper and lower levels, so how can you look for the fine work?"

Xu Guangqi made the final summary, and the retelling basically all the conclusions made by Zhao Shizhen.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said, "How should Xu Aiqing change? Even if the charter is reported, I will fully support it."

After pausing, the young emperor continued, "I also have some ideas and suggestions. I will hand it over to Xu Qing together. If it is combined, it will be used. If it is not combined, it will be abandoned."

Xu Guangqi bowed and responded respectfully: "I will follow the order and will live up to Your Majesty's expectations. I will reform the accumulated problems as soon as possible and produce fine firearms."

The craftsmen are like soldiers in the ward. They have low social status and are like serfs. Where can they get their enthusiasm and enthusiasm for work?

It is conceivable that there is no distinction between public and private, and there is no clear reward or punishment. Coupled with the corruption of the bureaucratic system and the cutting corners of officials, it is also possible to imagine how many of the games produced are qualified.

Zhu Youxiao must know some of the rules, processes, reward and punishment systems for later factory enterprises. What is the responsibility system, what assembly line, and whether it can be used, let Xu Guangqi take care of it!
