Although Zhu Yijun was young, he also knew the traditions of the Ming Dynasty. The civil servants could tolerate the appearance of a prince's companion under special conditions. That was because the companion could be considered a civil servant, but they would never agree to the prince's "carpentry"
”——How can such a lowly business be allowed to get into the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Therefore, although Zhu Yijun was very interested, he only hinted that Gao Xiang could invest more manpower, material and financial resources in this matter. It would also be good to even set up a small workshop to see if the quality of firearms production was really impossible to stabilize.
For this reason, he even hinted that he was very pragmatic. If he was worried that someone would cause trouble, he could name this small workshop under the Ordnance Bureau or the Military War Bureau. In this way, it would be regarded as a subordinate agency of the inner court, and even the civil servants would not be able to say anything - the inner court
The production of ordnance is one of the ancestral systems!
As for approval documents and other procedural issues, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince vowed that if it really doesn't work, he can ask his father, the emperor, and I believe he can be accommodating.
For Gao Pragmatic, this is of course an unexpected surprise. At least until Gao Gong institutionally legalizes private military industry or at least completes the pilot program, Zhu Yijun's idea is quite useful. At the very least, with such a cover, he can now
The basic framework of the musket industry can be set up first.
However, this matter is easy to say, but very complicated and even a little difficult to do.
First of all, apart from Gao Yi, Gao Yishi has no talent reserve in firearms manufacturing. Gao Yi himself is better at manufacturing explosive weapons, such as grenades and landmines. Although Gao Yi also knows about muskets,
Some, but not necessarily proficient.
Now Gao Yi is still studying the musket design drawings Gao Jingshi gave him. It's hard to say when he will be able to understand it thoroughly - of course there is no way. Although Gao Yi is good at many things, he is not proficient in everything after all. What he has given
The design drawings only have a general structure, but no precise design parameters. All precise standards need to be studied, explored and tested by Gao Yi himself.
This is just a lack of talent reserves in terms of "technical engineers", and even less in terms of production craftsmen. They are starting from scratch. Not long ago, Sanshenyuan reported that it had recruited more than 20 craftsmen, but some of them had experience in firearms production.
There are only five people, and the others are all experienced as blacksmiths, which shows that this is definitely not something that can be done overnight.
Gao Pragmatic thought about it and felt that from the current point of view, if he had to take a shortcut, he could only recruit people from the government-run factories of the imperial court. But poaching people from the government-run factories was not a casual matter, at least for the three people in the inner court.
Even if the Bureau has Zhu Yijun's support, Gao Pragmatic has no intention of poaching - this kind of thing is too sensitive, and he doesn't want to violate the ban.
That is to say, we can only recruit people from local government offices and local health offices. Thinking about it more carefully, Gao Pragmatic simply gave up the local government offices. After all, it is relatively difficult to deal with civil servants.
If you are full and full, it would be more annoying to make a fuss about this matter.
After all, Gao Pingshi was a secretary in his previous life. Generally speaking, he was a relatively cautious person. He always tried his best to avoid troubles that he could avoid, but he couldn't avoid them... Besides.
After all, it was easier to deal with the local guards. These generals had low political status and high pragmatism. In their eyes, in addition to their official status of being the prince's companion, the more important thing was that they were "nephews of the elder Gao Ge". I think back then Liu Xiandang was the leader of the town.
The commander-in-chief was violently reviled by a mere Tongzhou colleague, and he was so embarrassed that he almost lost his post. However, Gaoge Lao's disciples and disciples were all over the world, and there were quite a few who were in the military affairs department. Several military attachés from the guard station were required to be operated on.
Isn't that just a matter of looks?
Therefore, it is basically impossible for the local health center to dare to play tricks with Gao Yingshi. In line with the principle of picking weak persimmons, Gao Yingshi made up his mind to poach people from the local health center.
However, the timing was a little unlucky. Now he was about to return to his hometown to take the exam, so he couldn't spare the time to do this by himself, so he sent his cavalry to Sanshenyuan and informed Sanshenyuan that they could use him to do it.
The banner found its way through the three towns of Xuanda and Jiliao.
In addition, you can also find connections in Jingying, but there is no need for people from Sanshenyuan to come forward in Jingying. It is better to leave it to Wei Ximin - he is in charge of Jinghua soap sales business, and Jingyingxun
Your relationship is as good as honey.
As for him coming to see Xin Zhai today, he had other things to do.
His cousin Gao Guoyan, the "financial director" who was in charge of the accounts, came to report on his work when he learned that Gao pragmatic returned to Beijing from Datong. Gao pragmatic made an appointment with him to meet at Jian Xinzhai today.
At three o'clock in the morning, Gao Guoyan arrived at Jian Xinzhai after a long journey. Gao pragmatically asked him enthusiastically if he had had breakfast. If not, Jian Xinzhai had arranged a chef...
As a result, Gao Guoyan waved his hand and said that he had eaten casually on the way. Time was tight today, so he shouldn't waste time on these things and let's get down to business.
Gao Pingshi was startled when he heard this and asked, "You're not so busy, are you?"
"Isn't that so?" Gao Guoyan looked at him with wide eyes, pointed at his nose and said: "Your brother, I am so busy that I only sleep three hours a day! If I read the books of sages with such intention, even though the number one scholar would not dare to tell me,
I don’t think it’s a big problem with Henan Jieyuan!”
Gao Pingshi laughed and said: "Second brother, if you are really willing to study peacefully, how dare I delay your future?"
Gao Guoyan rolled his eyes and curled his lips and said: "Don't do this, if I was willing to study, I would come to you? No matter what you say over there in Nanjing, the academic style is much better than in the north, so I won't study in the south and go back to Henan to take the exam?
Do you know that those who can win the exam in Suzhou and Hangzhou will almost always have the chance to win Jieyuan when they come to Henan - the South List and the North List are not the same thing."
Gao pragmatic smiled: "Of course I know that the academic style in Jiangnan is strong, but I don't care about the south and north rankings. Anyway, I am from Henan, and I don't have to go to South Zhili to take the exam. What should I be afraid of? I know what you want to say, origin
In the eyes of outsiders, the South List is more prestigious than the North List, but I don't care about that. For me, as long as I can pass the exam, that's all."
Well, it’s not about getting high marks, just passing the test... Anyway, Gao Shidu didn’t plan to become Huang Guan or Shang Ren. This kind of thing requires not only sufficient skills, but also good luck. No one can say that. So his goal
It's enough to be a Jinshi. Of course, if possible, it's better to be a commoner.
"I don't care what you take the exam for! Stop gossiping about these things." Gao Guoyan put away his smile and said seriously: "There is some trouble over there in Kaiping. You have to be prepared. It's best to talk to your third uncle."
"Kaiping?" Gao Pingshi's heart skipped a beat. He stared at Gao Guoyan and asked, "What happened?"
