After explaining some confidential cases, Di Xin said goodbye and left the Ministry of Industry.
The so-called explanation of doubts is of course not true. Although it is the first time for officials from the Ministry of Industry to see the design drawings of firearms, the detailed parameters and subsequent functions are all marked on the drawings. With the capabilities of these technicians from the Ministry of Industry,
It is not difficult to understand the drawings.
That was just to satisfy Zhou Changrui's desire to open the wooden box as soon as possible.
And all the officials from the Ministry of Industry, including Zhou Changrui, did not even try to persuade Di Xin to stay when he left.
He didn't care, just like a scumbag who deceived a girl into her virginity. Even when Di Xin left the Ministry of Works, few people went out to see her off.
Before Di Xin left the lobby, he heard officials from the Ministry of Industry eagerly discussing firearms.
Even if he wasn't worried about accidentally touching the mechanism when he went out, he doubted whether anyone would send him there.
In response to this, Di Xin had no choice but to shrug helplessly.
If you want to equip a large number of firearms into the army, you can't do without the full assistance of these officials from the Ministry of Industry. Although the design drawings he drew were specially selected based on the craftsmanship of Gu Yuejie, he was not a professional.
Craftsmen only have a simple understanding of Dali's craftsmanship.
In the process of turning these firearm designs into finished products, whether there is any area that can be improved or some performance discarded needs to be studied and tested by officials from the Ministry of Industry.
Without them, it would take at least twice as long for the army to equip large-scale firearms.
For these treasures of Dali, even Emperor Xin could only follow them.
Well...part of the reason is that he has no interest in red tape.
After walking out of the gate of the Ministry of Industry with "no danger" again, Di Xin looked back at the courtyard, and the feeling of a thorn in his back finally disappeared completely.
"Fortunately, these technical geeks are not interested in the fight for the throne. If they are successfully lured by King Cheng and arrange it like this in Prince Cheng's palace, the raid on that day may be in vain."
Di Xin chuckled lightly and looked away.
This is actually not luck.
Although the technical nerd is not very interested in outside attention, if King Cheng wants to win over the Ministry of Industry to his side, it is not impossible.
Emperor Xin was able to come up with the design drawings of firearms, and King Cheng was naturally able to come up with certain creations that did not belong to this world.
At that time, given the temperament of these technical geeks, King Cheng would naturally have a hand in pinching them.
To put it bluntly, it was caused by King Cheng's contempt for mortals due to his status as a superior Realm Master.
He looked down upon the mortals of the Ancient Moon Realm, so naturally he looked down on their creations.
Although the Ministry of Industry is one of the six ministries, it has always maintained the principle of neutrality due to its indifferent attitude.
Due to the special nature of the Ministry of Works in Dali, and the fact that King Cheng had already won the support of most officials in the court at that time, no arrangements were made for the Ministry of Works.
The Ministry of Industry holds the most core technical secrets of Dali, and wooing the Ministry of Industry is likely to touch the emperor's bottom line.
On the one hand, it was due to his contempt for mortal creations, and on the other hand, he did not want to take unnecessary risks, so King Cheng missed such a treasure department.
But even if it were Di Xin, his choice would probably be the same.
After a short period of contact, he had already figured out the nature of some officials from the Ministry of Industry.
What can conquer technology geeks is always better technology and more novel creations.
But that doesn't mean they have no principles.
Based on these firearms design drawings, the officials from the Ministry of Industry must have a good impression of him. If there are any additional requests, it is not impossible to handle them specially.
But that’s it.
Even if officials from the Ministry of Industry succeed in wooing you, all they show is to get closer to you, but they will never choose a side in the battle for the throne.
They cannot violate the Ministry of Industry's long-standing standards.
Because the consequence of violating the code is to lose the special nature of the Ministry of Industry in the court.
As for the ability to stay in the court struggle with technology, if it loses its specialness, I am afraid that it will not take more than one turn to be eaten alive by those old foxes.
Winning over officials from the Ministry of Industry requires much more effort than gain.
…
Di Xin still maintains his "three days of fishing and two days of netting" mode of supervising the country with ultra-fast speed of making corrections and memorials.
But the Ministry of War, Ministry of Household Affairs and Ministry of Works became more and more lively.
Although it is said that the first batch of firearms and equipment will be piloted on the Guards, regarding the approval of local armies and the configuration of firearms, it is impossible to wait until the Guards are equipped with firearms before starting preparations.
That would be such a waste of time.
After spending two days to reset the military mix of the Imperial Guard, the Ministry of Industry began to vigorously integrate and reallocate the military forces from various places.
After the addition of new weapons such as firearms, the mix of arms in the army will naturally need to be adjusted.
Of course, this combination is not static. After the firearms are actually equipped into the army, corresponding adjustments will be made later to ensure that the maximum power of the army can be exerted.
This time, the Ministry of Industry did not outsource the task of making firearms to the private sector - even the making of a single part was completed by the Ministry of Industry's personnel.
After the list of firearms that needed to be made was sent, the workshop of the Ministry of Industry began to work around the clock.
Although the furnace in the workshop had not stopped before this.
As for the household department...
That's crying out for poverty.
If the Ministry of Industry is a group of technical geeks who are not familiar with the world, then the Ministry of Household Affairs is the gathering place for talented people.
After the first list of firearms manufacturers came out, the Ministry of Household Affairs began to cry for poverty.
Whether it was the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Industry asking for money, or at the court meeting, officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs were crying about the emptiness of the treasury. Everyone was tightening their belts, and they really couldn't come up with more money.
They are not trying to prevent the use of firearms in the military.
As officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, they manage Dali's treasury, and it is their duty to control costs for the court.
Therefore, when it comes to sending troops on expeditions, and when the emperor just wants to build a courtyard, the attitude of the officials of the Ministry of Revenue has always been the same.
It doesn't cost money, it costs a life.
Of course, when it came time to pay, Hu Bu paid neatly, but he didn't feel like he was so poor that he was begging for food.
But even so, it didn't stop them from showing pain again after paying the money, as if after paying the money, Dali would be hungry for three years.
But all in all, after three days of wrangling at the court meeting, the making of firearms started in full swing.
The firearms matter is on the right track, but the energy of the instigator is not here.
On this day, Di Xin and his people arrived at the city gate early.
