"Is your Majesty really a peerless sage? This is a major event that will benefit generations to come, so I will naturally support you!" Xu Meng said excitedly.
"I'll also... second the proposal!"
The three of them bowed and all agreed.
For Dongfang Yu and even Beiliang as a whole, what is lacking most at this time is education. If education can be established well, it will be a great event for Beiliang and even the world, which will benefit the country and the people.
The creation of the Military Treasury Department was just an indirect change of name for the arsenal to a beautiful and pleasant-sounding name! certainly! Once the military treasurer is established, it will become the political institution of Da Qin.
In addition, the establishment of schools and other educational institutions is for the supply of talents in Beiliang.
"Okay! Stop flattering me, wait until I discuss it with all the ministers tomorrow, then make up your mind and talk about it!" Dongfang Yu waved his hands.
after all! Establishing an organization is no small matter. It is equivalent to reform and must be taken seriously and seriously.
"promise!"
"Oh!" And Dongfang Yu suddenly thought of something, "Wang Aiqing, Ma Aiqing, I want to ask you two, what else does our Beiliang arsenal need? What about the food for the craftsmen?"
This is what Dongfang Yu cares most about. Since he is the King of Qin in Beiliang, the people of Beiliang are all his subjects. From soldiers to common people, he must take care of all kinds of professions and people.
Wang Pu said: "Your Majesty! Everything in the arsenal is running normally, and the food expenses for the craftsmen are the best I have ever seen. The daily food and drink are no worse than those of the nobles. Even in the entire Wu Kingdom, there is no That arsenal is as good as ours in Beiliang."
This is recognition of Dongfang Yu, and it comes from Wang Pu's heart, the most honest words, but! This is not to say that the arsenal does not have problems.
"It's just! To be fair to the king, Beiliang has recently expanded its troops and needs urgent weapons. This is not a big problem, after all! In two years, the arsenal still has a lot of inventory, but if we have to take out so much at once, even if we in Beiliang Liang has enough people to make pig iron, but it can't meet the demand?" Wang Puwei said.
Not that he was complaining, but! The supply of iron in Beiliang is indeed in short supply. To make guns, cannons, bullets, etc., there is no need to use iron.
You can't make large-scale purchases from other states. Just rely on several iron mines in Beiliang state. In a short time! It is difficult to satisfy such a developing Beiliang.
Dongfang Yu frowned, naturally understanding Wang Pu's intentions, "Wang Qing, don't worry, I believe! Jin Rui should soon purchase iron ore from Western countries! By then, trade routes will be established with Western countries, We no longer have to worry about insufficient supply of resources.”
and! Beiliang's demand for iron, copper and other minerals is so great, but it is only limited to the recent period! If Beiliang wants to develop and the army wants to advance, iron is indispensable. At least! In ancient times, the demand for iron was quite large.
Wang Pu bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"It's okay! Wang Qing, your arsenal has expanded several times. Just go for a walk with the military advisor and the general, so you don't have to follow me." Dongfang Yu said.
"No!" Wang Pu responded.
Immediately! Just bypass Wang Pu and wander around the arsenal. The arsenal was built under his orders, and he had seen the models and drawings. Even if you walk here alone, you won't get lost.
certainly! His footsteps naturally walked towards the firearms room.
The Frankie Cannon, the Crouching Tiger Cannon, and the new type of cannon, the Red Barbarian Cannon. Although the Red Barbarian Cannon is heavy, in terms of power, its damage is greater than the Frankie Cannon.
The Qin State's Three Thousand Fire Guns Battalion used the most advanced matchlock guns and three-eyed guns invented by the Portuguese in the previous Ming Dynasty. The last time they fought against the Liao army, this matchlock gun restrained the Liao army to a great extent.
It is the Tiefutu army of the Liao Kingdom, and this fire blunderbuss is the best nemesis.
"Huh!"
"Why did this fail? My gun has the same principle as a matchlock gun, but why? Without the blessing of the fuse, this rifle seems to be useless. Is it possible! Without the blessing of the matchlock, it can't shoot Yet?"
at this time! On a separate seating platform, a young man wearing round eyes invented by Dongfang Yu seemed to have encountered some difficulties and was unable to break through, so he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
But Dongfang Yu, who happened to be walking over, heard clearly.
oh!
Soon, Dongfang Yu's attention was attracted.
because! On that platform, the matchlock gun and the three-eyed gun were actually broken into pieces in the hands of the young man in front of him.
Therefore! Dongfang Yu's interest was aroused.
"Brother! What kind of problem are you encountering?" Dongfang Yu asked, just like he was scratching his head when he was in elementary school.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes and saw that the three people who came were actually unfamiliar faces. The arsenal is the most secret place in Beiliang, so not just anyone can come in.
Even close generals like Ma Chao and Pei Yuanqing couldn't get in without Dongfang Yu's personal orders. But these three people were able to visit the arsenal at will, presumably! His status should not be low!
certainly! He didn't think that the person in front of him was King Qin. after all! It has been more than a year since he joined the arsenal, and he has never seen the appearance of the King of Qin.
The young man said: "Aren't you three people from the arsenal?"
Is this kid really stupid or pretending to be stupid? The person standing in front of you is a person wearing a dragon robe, and you can’t even recognize him?
Dongfang Yu smiled easily, "Of course we are not from the arsenal, but this arsenal belongs to me!"
The young man immediately lost interest and thought Dongfang Yu was making fun of him, so he continued to do his own thing, "Just brag! I think you are about the same age as me, maybe I am a little older than you. This is bragging." , there must be a limit!”
No! The founder of this arsenal is the king of Beiliang? That mythical existence.
you……
Just as Yu Wenhu wanted to reveal Dongfang Yu's identity, he was immediately restrained by Dongfang Yu.
And said: "Little brother, I think you are researching on modifying the matchlock gun!"
The young man was bored and said calmly: "So what? I just think that the firearms used by our Qin State have too obvious drawbacks. So, I am thinking about how to eliminate these drawbacks as much as possible on the basis of the major drawbacks."
"Like, take the matchlock off the arquebus!"
If you remove the matchlock gun, wouldn't it become a press-loaded rifle?
did not expect! This guy is young and has a lot of ideas.
"Little brother, I also like to play with guns, in my heart! I have a lot of opinions and ideas, how about we discuss it together?" Yu Wenhu moved a chair, and Dongfang Yu sat down on it.
The young man's eyes lit up, "Okay! My name is Jiang Jiang. I have been fond of swords and guns since I was a child. I also particularly like my Dawu's muskets and cannons."
