Chapter 82: Thoughts
Zhang Luo saluted Zheng Baihu with his hands raised.
Zheng Baihu saw Zhang Luo and Xu Shouye getting off the carriage together.
He didn't dare to neglect and immediately returned the greeting.
Xu Shouye introduced:
"This is Master Zhang from the county school."
"He is a disciple of Kang Jiaoyu."
I heard Kang Jiaoyu’s name.
This Zheng Baihu said with admiration:
"It turns out he is a disciple of Xuekang Rockery in Jinjiang County."
"Disciples of famous masters will become great masters in the future."
Zhang Luo knew that Zheng Baihu was completely flattering.
Kang Jiaoyu was not a Confucian master.
His reputation is just that of a civil servant.
Kang Jiaoyu's disciples are not much better now.
Zheng Baihu, on the other hand, spoke sweetly.
Speaking of which, Zhang Luo felt a little proud.
It’s no wonder that no matter how wise a person is, he likes others to praise him.
It feels so good to be flattered by someone.
Zhang Luo straightened his body and asked Zheng Baihu:
"I'm from Zhenhaiwei."
"Our health center also plans to build a firearms workshop."
"That's why I asked Master Xu to take me to the firearms workshop."
"I want to come to the firearms workshop and have a look."
I heard that Zhang Luo also came from the Wei Institute.
This Zheng Baihu seems to have found a relative.
He said to Zhang Luo even more enthusiastically:
"Turns out he is a friend of Zhenhaiwei."
"Master Zhang, what do you want to see?"
"I'll show you the way."
"Master, what don't you understand?"
"I'll explain it all to you."
Xu Shouye stood and coughed a few more times.
He kept covering his mouth and nose.
Shaking his head, he said to Zhang Luo:
"Brother Zhang, I won't go in."
"The smell of this is really strong."
"Let Zheng Baihu come with you."
"I'll wait for you at the intersection."
Soldiers on the side.
The sensible person brought a chair to Xu Shouye.
Someone also sent fruit cakes to Xu Shouye.
Xu Shouye sat directly on the chair and ate the fruit cake.
Zheng Baihu led the way.
The two walked into the firearms workshop.
[The firearm location has been discovered and the firearm skills have been explained. Do you want to receive the knowledge? 】
"Receive knowledge!"
Great, I finally have the firearms skill.
Some knowledge of manufacturing bird guns, fire guns, and lead ammunition.
Passed into Zhang Luo's mind.
Now the goal of coming to the firearms workshop today has been accomplished.
But it's still early.
Zhang Luo plans to take a good visit.
What was a firearms workshop like in the Ming Dynasty?
I followed Zheng Baihu around for a while.
Zhang Luo's impression of this Baihu changed a lot.
Although this guy is a cunning old man.
During the visit, I kept patting Zhang Luo.
But the actual work is still being done.
The firearms workshop in Quanzhou Wei is quite large.
Firearms produced.
Not only supplied to Quanzhou Wei.
The firearms of several nearby David's houses were also produced here.
After completing a circle.
Zhang Luo discovered the entire firearms workshop.
There are hundreds of craftsmen.
The production of firearms itself is a relatively dangerous thing.
The sulfur and other materials used are flammable.
The smoke from burning is also toxic.
It is not easy to manage a large firearms workshop well.
But Zheng Baihu managed things in a very orderly manner.
What each craftsman has to do.
Everything is clearly arranged.
Everywhere you go.
He explained everything clearly to Zhang Luo.
The flow of this place.
Take a look around.
Zhang Luo also discovered fire prevention measures.
The quality of Ming Dynasty firearms and gunpowder is still very good.
Zhang Luo took a look.
I discovered that it only takes a few days to make a gun.
The backwardness of the army.
The main reason lies in the corruption of the system.
I listened to some numbers Zheng Baihu told him.
Zhang Luo activates the accounting skill.
Let’s roughly calculate the overall production capacity of this firearms workshop.
After finishing the calculation.
Zhang Luo breathed out.
The current output of such a firearms workshop.
It's enough to raise a 2,000-man musketry team.
Have this ability.
Why are you still afraid of those Japanese pirates coming from the sea?
Where have all these gunpowder firearms been used?
"Zheng Baihu, this firearms workshop seems to produce a lot of firearms and gunpowder?"
Zheng Baihu bent down and replied:
"This is natural. The firearms workshop is the key workshop of Quanzhou Wei."
"Otherwise, Commander Xu wouldn't have let the young master take charge of it himself."
"I just listened to Mr. Xu's lecture."
"You have always been in charge of this firearms workshop?"
Talking about Xu Shouye.
There was no trace of disdain in Zheng Baihu's eyes.
He smiled and said:
"Young Master Xu is the commander-in-chief's young master."
"To do things for the Young Master is to do things for the Quanzhou Guard."
Look at what Xu Shouye looked like just now.
I'm afraid I haven't been to a firearms shop a few times.
This Zheng Baihu is a person whom Commander Xu trusts.
Ostensibly, the firearms workshop was given to Xu Shouye.
In fact, the firearms workshop was still in the hands of his father.
What went wrong.
Zheng Baihu can only talk to the commander.
Xu Shouye also has a reputation.
Quanzhou Wei looks so rotten now.
Not many firearms are used in a year.
But the output of the firearms workshop is so high.
Aren’t you afraid that the prolific products will not be used and wasted?
Could it be?
Zhang Luo seemed to have thought of something.
If that's the case.
Then this Quanzhou Guard is really hopeless!
Zhang Luo still looked calm.
He covered his mouth and nose and said:
"Zheng Baihu, the smell of sulfur in this firearms workshop is too strong."
"Zhenhaiwei is not a big place."
“There is no place to build such a comprehensive craft workshop.”
Zheng Baihu immediately bent down and said:
"If that's the case."
"Master Zhang can build a small pharmacy first."
"Bring our medicine back here."
"Add toner and you can make gunpowder."
"There is no need to build a large gunpowder mill."
"But he took the medicine from the firearms shop out without permission."
"I'm afraid it doesn't comply with the rules of the Command Department, right?"
Zheng Baihu waved his hand.
He said flatteringly:
"It's just some powder."
"Quanzhou Guards must discard a lot of gunpowder every year."
"Just report to the commander that the gunpowder has been flooded with water."
"Young Master Xu will definitely agree."
After Zheng Baihu finished speaking, he smiled at Zhang Luo and asked:
"If Master Zhang Luo still has relevant firearms and gunpowder."
"If you don't understand anything, you can ask me again."
"I know everything about this very well."
After Zhang Luo and Zheng Baihu finished shopping.
Xu Shouye was in a daze on the chair.
I will take Zhang Luo to drink wine soon.
Zhang Luo used the excuse of having a date in the evening.
He refused Xu Shouye's pull.
This is the third young master of the Xu family.
I have already decided that Zhang Luo is a god.
He patted Zhang Luo on the shoulder and said:
"Well, if Brother Zhang is free another day."
"Let's taste the wine together again."
"I will ask Brother Zhang for help at that time."
Xu Shouye firmly believed that Zhang Luo would help him win his father's position.
But this time I went back to Fuzhou Prefecture.
He realized that he shouldn't be too hasty in doing things.
His father's body bones can last for a long time.
The matter of seizing the crown prince must be discussed slowly.
I just need to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Luo.
Everything can be progressed little by little.
Xu Shouye took out a big tips bag from his sleeve.
He stuffed it into Zhang Luo's hand and said with a smile:
"Then brother, we have made an agreement."
"This is a little thought from me to my eldest brother."
"Brother, please put it away."
Afterwards, Xu Shouye greeted the groom.
He drove Zhang Luo back to the county school.
When it was time to say goodbye, Xu Shouye took out another bulging bag.
Put it directly into Zhang Luo's pocket.
