If a god invented the machine gun, the court would not pay attention to it, and the father-in-law would pay attention to it.

If the court does not make it, the father-in-law will make it.

The court does not give rewards, but the father-in-law will give rewards.

My father-in-law gave you whatever you want, except for the piece of meat on the crotch and the appearance.

"Is there a real thing that makes a self-generated gun?"

My father-in-law couldn't wait to see what the self-selling gun was. If it were really a magical weapon such as Maxim and Gatlina, he would buy it out and mass production first without saying a word.

But Guo Jujing shook her head and said there was no real thing.

He told Eunuch Wei that when he went north from the southern capital in the 37th year of Wanli, he had a brief stay in Shandong. After being introduced by two local officials who believed in God, he met Bi Maokang, who was the salt inspector.

Bi Maokang was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli. He served as the Right Chief Censor and the Shaanxi Inspector. The person served as the Inspector of the Salt Censor was a fat man who sent the Censor from outside the Censorate.

According to the system of this dynasty, there were only four people in the world.

One is the two Huai Rivers, one is the two Zhejiangs, one is the Changlu, and the other is the Hedong.

Bi Maokang's inspection is Changlu Salt Field located in Bohai Bay. It is different from the local interests of the local salt commission and the Salt Course Commission. The Salt Censor Bi Maokang's inspection of the salt administration directly represents the court to inspect local salt affairs, and his position is naturally a power.

Since ancient times, the salt industry has been huge profits, so the salt inspector has always been rich and fat, and is ranked alongside the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War’s treasury department, which is the favorite position of officials.

However, Bi Maokang seems to be a person who doesn't like being an official. He has never heard of him as a greedy person for money, but he is quite fond of firearms.

Shortly after Guo Jujing met him, Bi Maokang took out a self-producing gun picture he had conceived for him, saying that this gun was more sharp than Western countries.

Guo Jujing didn't agree at first, but after seeing the self-generated gun figure and listening to the principles Guo Jujing said, he was immediately impressed and deeply felt that the land of China was hidden and creeping dragons and tigers emerged.

It doesn’t matter if there are no physical objects, as long as there are drawings.

The father-in-law said immediately: "Mr. Guo can draw the self-generated gun with us so that we can see if it is a powerful weapon as the teacher said."

I called Guo Jujing as my husband, but my father-in-law did not learn from Li Yanzhao, but was an example of Matteo Ricci. This great scholar who combines Chinese and Western cultures likes to call him Mr. He, and even the other missionaries, also adopted the title of "Mr.", otherwise it would be difficult to call them, so they could not be called holy monks, masters.

Although Li Yanzhao still doubted whether the self-generated gun was feasible, he saw that his father-in-law valued it so much, he was smart and did not object or question it.

"Please wait a moment."

Guo Jujing smiled and nodded, thinking that the favored eunuch of the Chinese emperor was indeed a good firearm. He used this self-made gun as a stepping stone to get the actual support of the Catholic Church. At least, it would be no problem to ask the young eunuch to allocate a sum of silver for him to build a church in the Special Administrative Region.

Steelon whispered to ask Guo Jujing if he could draw it. After all, it happened three years ago. If he couldn't remember it completely or did it wrong, it would be troublesome.

Guo Jujing said that there is no problem. You should know that after seeing the self-producing gun graphics and understanding the principles, he has always kept it in mind. He just waited for one day to submit it to the Pope when he returned to the Roman Catholic Church to change the current situation where the army of various countries still uses combroach guns.

As for why I have to go back before submitting it, rather than writing letters, it is selfish.

After Matteo Ricci's death, Long Huamin, who took over as the president of the Jesuits in China, was very opposed to Guo Jujing and the others. The "pro-Ming and Rongming faction" of Matteo Ricci and others also wanted to defeat Long Huamin. So whoever has the greatest contribution in the Holy See may win.

When Li Yanzhao saw Monk Guo go to draw a picture, he hurriedly asked his father-in-law to sit in the two-story building, busy and showed great respect.

"This Li Baihu is a good at doing business." Zheng Duo said with a smile.

"What we lack in the Ming Dynasty is to do business." My father-in-law also laughed, then sat on the chair and picked up the tea to taste it carefully.

Later, he asked about the affairs of Li Yanzhao's Manufacturing General Administration in detail.

"These women were recruited from the surrounding villages and towns, and they were allowed to pay one tael and six cents a month, and they only do this drying gunpowder every day..."

Li Yanzhao's work is very important, and his father-in-law will do what he has done after he arrives at the General Administration of Manufacturing.

"Yan Zhao has trouble."

My father-in-law couldn't help but nodded and asked how the craftsmen from Beijing were placed. This matter was not handled by Li Yanzhao, but Zheng Duo arranged it before.

"Most of the craftsmen are placed here. According to the instructions of my father-in-law, they mainly repair the military and beat the construction site to the construction site. For this reason, the temporary workshop will be built. The place is not big and a bit simple, but it can still be maintained for the time being."

"It is not to maintain it temporarily, but to ensure maintenance. The workshop should be expanded immediately, so that the craftsmen can live and work comfortably."

My father-in-law told Li Yanzhao to bring ink, and then drew a picture, and then ordered Zheng Duo to allocate silver to build the Jiangnan Seed Production General Administration according to this picture.

After Zheng Duo and Li Yanzhao took the picture and found that there were dozens of places planned on it, from the cannon forging workshop, the musket construction workshop, the gunpowder production workshop, the production of military armor, and the construction of folk tools. If the construction is based on this picture, it will take at least tens of thousands of taels of silver to invest, and the manpower required is calculated in thousands.

"First focus on the construction of the firearms, and then spread them out one by one. You Zheng Duo lead the matter, well, Yan Zhao helps. However, all the affairs of the General Administration of Manufacturing, regardless of size or details, must be reported to our house one by one."

The father-in-law must take the lead in this matter personally and pay enough attention to it, otherwise it will be a joke if it delays for another half a year.

Zheng Duo and Li Yanzhao responded naturally, and Li Yanzhao raised a question, saying that the medicine is very scarce now.

This is also a major problem facing the Imperial Army now.

The original Wusong Water Camp did not reserve much gunpowder. Most of the medicine consumed in training, exercises and actual combat was purchased by my father-in-law from the Beijing Military Staff Bureau. It seemed that there were a lot of them at that time, but it could not withstand such a long time of consumption.

Take the army's battalions that are currently training for example. According to the predecessor's training manual, a gun soldier must shoot three or five guns a day, and dozens of guns a month. A gun costs two or three cents a month, and a month consumes about one pound. More than three thousand troops consume more than three thousand kilograms of gunpowder per month. The navy has a big head. Once the big cannons are opened, the medicine is used very quickly. In the past, a lot of it was used to blow mountains everywhere in order to make stones.

Including the batch of gunpowder seized from Zhongzuo, the current army has only about 5,000 kilograms of medicine, which can last for at most two months.

"There is not enough medicine, so I went to buy it."
