Since these foreign monks came to Wu Song, they had nothing to do except to help their father-in-law contact the Jesuits in China and Macao, recruit some firearms craftsmen for his father-in-law, and buy some books. And the results of the contact, they did not report to their father-in-law.

My father-in-law had too many things on hand, and he went to Dinghaiwei to sweep it a few years ago, and he didn't care about these foreign monks, if he hadn't bumped into them today, he would have almost forgotten about these God's beloved disciples who he fooled.

However, what can these foreign monks help Li Yanzhao?

Seeing his father-in-law looking at him, Li Yanzhao hurriedly said that he took the initiative to invite these foreign monks to help him.

"The official document focuses on advocating cultural exchanges between China and the West, saying that Western countries also have many things that are better than my Ming Dynasty, such as firearms, Western countries have made great achievements. Therefore, we should learn humbly, communicate with them, and use our skills to control them...... The subordinates are really laymen in the way of firearms, and they only got started because of their father-in-law's promotion, but because they had no new ideas, they were afraid of living up to their father-in-law's expectations, so they read the collection of official documents, and then they decided to ask these Western masters to help, and failed to report this matter to their father-in-law in advance, which is really a subordinate not ......."

Li Yanzhao said very sincerely, and his father-in-law listened quietly, with no expression on his face during the whole process, which made Li Yanzhao's heart flutter.

When he finished saying that he was about to kneel down and ask for guilt, Fang saw that his father-in-law raised his eyebrows, and then cast an approving look at him.

Li Yanzhao's heart couldn't help but be relieved.

The young man who combines theory and practice does not need to take the initiative to study and communicate without his own instructions, this young man is very good, and it is not in vain for our family to promote and cultivate.

My father-in-law really appreciates this Li Yanzhao more and more.

For this kind of talent who deeply understands his own ideas and puts them into action, my father-in-law can not only appreciate but also appreciate. However, he immediately became vigilant and glanced at Guo Jujing and Stallon lightly.

So far, the two tricks of granular gunpowder and fixed gunpowder do not seem to have been discovered and adopted by the armies of Western countries, but Li Yanzhao exposed this secret to Guo Jujing and them, which is at risk of leakage.

And the father-in-law is sure that with Guo Jujing's knowledge, it is impossible not to know the benefits of these two know-hows, so they will definitely pass these two know-how back to Europe.

No matter how dedicated the missionaries were to bringing the Ming into God's territory, they were still aliens after all.

Foreigners and aliens, the heart of China will not change for 5,000 years.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, and the father-in-law can't dampen Li Yanzhao's enthusiasm for promoting Chinese and Western culture and technology, and he won't treat Guo Jujing and Sylone as spies, so he intends to downplay the matter.

My father-in-law is a person of great wisdom and great faith, and the know-how will eventually be mastered. The same goes for technology, but as long as you're always ahead of the curve, there's nothing to be afraid of.

"You're doing a great job."

The father-in-law nodded with a smile, "By the way, what did Mr. Guo and Mr. Shi help you?" ”

"The two gentlemen helped their subordinates design the utensils that can carefully select the medicines, and also helped the subordinates to set the detailed recipes for the medicines, which are better than the formulas in Zhinan Town."

The Nanzhen that Li Yanzhao said is not the Nanzhen Fusi in Beijing, but the Jinyi Wei Yamen in the Southern Capital.

When Chengzu moved the capital, Yu Nandu left the same subordinate as the Beijing court, and Jinyiwei was also one of them. However, with the evolution of time, the Jinyi Guard in the Southern Capital gradually declined, and now it has become an institution dedicated to the production and maintenance of firearms in the Southeast Guard, just like the Ordnance Supervisor of the Staff Bureau.

To be precise, Nanjing's Jinyiwei is the military production center of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, with nearly 10,000 craftsmen of all kinds inherited since the Taizu period.

At that time, a large number of firearms and tiger squat guns used by Qi Jiguang to resist the Japanese were developed by Nanzhen, and nearly half of the large and small artillery equipped by the Ming Royal Navy were purchased from Nanzhen.

Such an institution has its own gunpowder formula, and this formula is not a secret thing, Li Yanzhao just can't, and there are people in this place.

When his father-in-law was the boss of the Cane Bureau, those fathers-in-law sold hundreds of firearms craftsmen to him.

Except for a small part of these people who have contributed to the construction of the SEZ with their own expertise, the rest have been settled here.

They are also the core technical talents of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

Without these hundreds of firearms craftsmen, Gonggong Wei would not dare to establish the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

Any of his ideas is based on talent reserves.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the eunuchs of the Scepter Bureau, these hereditary craftsmen have no value, but in the eyes of the father-in-law, these people are priceless.

For this reason, he has always been generous to these craftsmen, and these craftsmen also have a share in any reward in the army. Also receiving this treatment are the horse households of the Taifu Temple Horse Factory.

Guo Jujing and Stallone compared the gunpowder formulas of Western countries with those of Nanzhen, and the final result was that the Western prescriptions were better than those of the Ming Dynasty.

This point has been actually verified by Li Yanzhao, and he admires it.

It must be a good thing to help improve the gunpowder formula, and the father-in-law thanked Guo and Shi, and then thought that the general flag said that Li Yanzhao had a quarrel with a Western monk, so he asked what was the matter.

Li Yanzhao said: "Mr. Guo said that Master Bi Maokang, the imperial historian of Shandong Salt Patrol, has designed a new type of firecracker, if this new type of firecracker can be produced, it will be several times more powerful than the firecracker we are making now, and it can even eliminate all the firecrackers used in our army." The subordinates felt that what Mr. Guo said was too exaggerated, if Bi Yushi really studied this new type of firecracker, why didn't the imperial court adopt and promote it? So, this is either a myth or an exaggeration. ”

"Lee, it's true."

Guo Jujing corrected Li Yanzhao, but he still insisted on his opinion, the fire gun conceived by the official surnamed Bi he met in Shandong was really a good thing.

But as Li said, it is indeed a bit surprising that such a good thing was not developed and produced by the Chinese imperial court, which is why he could not convince Li.

Stallone didn't speak, maybe this foreign monk didn't know much about firecrackers, so he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

The father-in-law listened very attentively, and the reason why he was fascinated was the words "new-style firearms", and then thought of the battle mode of "queuing up to shoot", which he longed for.

"What's this new firebolt?" My father-in-law was very curious.

Stallone said: "Your Excellency Pang Maichen, to be precise, this fire gun is called a self-generated gun. ”

"Self-generated?"

When my father-in-law heard the name, he became even more curious. As the name suggests, it is self-generated, that is, a firearm that can be fired automatically?

Isn't this a machine gun?

Could it be that there was really a genius in the Ming Dynasty who invented Makqin and Gatling two hundred years in advance?

The father-in-law's careful liver also pounced as if it were a deer.
