Zhu Cihong is different from his father Chongzhen, although he also received a Confucian education, he was in a rebellious period in his teens, and he was naturally resistant to dogmatism.

Chongzhen's thinking has been solidified, and Zhu Cihong is still saved, which is why Liu Hongjian told Zhu Cihong this.

Zhu Cihong is the future of the Ming Dynasty!

After having a light meal in Duanmu Palace and chatting with Zhu Cihong for a while, Liu Hong gradually returned home.

He didn't go directly to the Hou Mansion, but went directly to the Jinyi Wei Yamen.

The current scope of Jinyiwei's supervision has been transferred from domestic to foreign, and Jinyiwei commands Tongzhi Liang Yang to sit on Jinyiwei every day as usual to deal with various news transmitted by Jinyiwei from Tiannan and Haibei.

"Lao Liang, is there any urgent news recently?" Liu Hong gradually walked through the door.

Liu Honggradually wore a fur coat, which startled the Jinyi officials.

"My lord is here, Xiaguan is planning to go to the house to find you, there is just news from Liaodong!

The Manchus are gathering a great army! At least 100,000! ”

Liang Yang frowned, when he first received the news, he was also so shocked that he almost threw away the teacup.

"There's no need to be so nervous, that's to be expected!" Liu Hong was not particularly surprised, and that Polochi had already sounded the alarm for Daming on Chinese New Year's Eve.

And he sent Huang Degong to defend Xuanliao, originally to temporarily resist this attack, Lao Huang has been on the battlefield for a long time, and believes that there should be no big problem in guarding for a year and a half.

"Any other news?" Liu Hong gradually pondered, it seems that we have to step up the production of the gun, maybe it will have to be used in a few months.

"There is also news from the south that there is an abnormality in Zuo Liangyu's department, and it seems that there is an internal problem.

Then the 40,000 soldiers of the Beijing camp have arrived at the stone pillar as scheduled, and Qin Liangyu's department has been contacted! ”

"Well, that's good news!" Liu Hong said gradually.

With these 40,000 fresh troops, plus a large amount of silver taels allocated by the imperial court, I think the situation of the old general Qin will be much better.

As for the abnormal movement of Zuo Liangyu's department! Others don't know, but he knows that this guy must be seriously ill, and it won't be long before he will go to the west.

"Lao Liang, you quickly go and write a letter to the old general Qin, ask her to pay close attention to Zuo Liangyu's department, wait for Zuo Liangyu's department to return to the west, and find an opportunity to attack Wuchang."

Zuo Liangyu, a group of bandits, without the boss, must be discouraged, this is an opportunity, maybe he can surrender without a fight.

"Yes, sir!" Liang Yang agreed.

"Well, if there is nothing else, the official will leave, oh yes, these news will quickly enter the palace and report to the emperor." Liu Hong gradually finished explaining and left in a hurry.

He had to go to the armory, and the north and south were not very peaceful, and he might have to carry his sword to the battlefield at some point, so the production of the rifle had to be accelerated, and the soldiers had to be given time to train.

In addition, he has another important matter to explain to Uncle Song.

During the time that Song Yingxing stayed in the ordnance office, he has been completely integrated into this big collective, he has learned a lot, and he has attainments in many industries, and it has become commonplace to go to various workshops every day to inspect and guide.

There's no doubt he loved it.

"Your Excellency is here!" Song Yingxing saw Liu Honggradually coming, and hurriedly saluted.

"Song Lao doesn't have to be like this, how many pistols have been made?" Liu Hong gradually asked.

"My lord, more than 800 have been created!"

"So much!" It's only been seven or eight days, and according to the progress Schultz told him, at most 20 can be made in a day, which makes Liu Hong a little surprised.

"Yes, my lord, the old man saw that these craftsmen all made a musket by themselves, and although their proficiency has improved, it is still too slow.

Therefore, the old man assigned them the task, the one who made flint specialized in flint, and the one who made the barrel of the gun specialized in the barrel of the gun.

Then these parts are handed over to a specialized person to assemble, which is several times faster! ”

Song Yingxing stroked his beard and said casually.

Well? Liu Hong looked at Uncle Song in surprise!

Is this Uncle Song also a traverser?

The division of labor and cooperation model that he didn't even think of for a while was thought of by the old man of the Ming Dynasty?

In addition to advanced machinery, the most important reason for the extremely high output of factories in later generations is the division of labor and cooperation into assembly lines.

Liu Hong gradually approached the firearms workshop, which was full of noise and the layout inside had been refurbished.

A simplified assembly line of wooden tables and stone slabs comes into view, each surrounded by four or five, or seven or eight craftsmen, who are responsible for producing only one part.

Then, at the end of the assembly line, where all the parts were gathered, Franz commanded a group of craftsmen to assemble them quickly, and the corners of the workshop were already stacked with assembled muskets.

"My lord, in a few days, I can join the army!" Schultz was very happy to see Liu Hong, the work in the workshop was too boring.

Fortunately, the new leader had invented such an interesting mode of production, and he had thought that he would stay here for at least a month or more, but now it seemed that in another seven or eight days he would be able to return to the army of his dreams.

His eyes were full of enthusiasm, enthusiasm for the army, or for war.

"Well, it's done very well, this official will definitely not break his word!" This is a war maniac, and Liu Hong gradually saw Schultz's mind at a glance.

The flames in those eyes were astonishing.

What's so good about war? He couldn't understand these mercenaries from Europe.

They are all war maniacs, and they are still so obsessed with the wars of religion in Europe for decades or centuries.

Isn't it good to be alive?

"Song Lao is really a genius, this production mode can not only greatly speed up the production speed, but also the craftsmen are more skilled in their own work, and the qualified rate of the parts produced will also be greatly improved!

The official is very happy, in this way, in addition to your salary this month, you can withdraw an extra 1,000 taels as your contribution reward! ”

Liu Hong gradually scratched his head, he didn't know what else Uncle Song needed at his age.

The account room of the entire ordnance institute is also in charge of Uncle Song, even if it is a reward for silver, it is Uncle Song who rewards himself, which makes Liu Hongjian a little embarrassed.

"Hahaha, adults don't need to be like this, the old man is not short of silver, and the old man likes it here, I want to thank the adults for their kindness, and they can find their mission and place in the year of death!"

Song Yingxing is not short of silver, otherwise where would he have the leisure to study so many fields, and he would still be in the mood to write a huge book in more than ten years.

In ancient times, writing books has always been a loss-making business, unlike a group of young people in later generations who had a mobile phone and a keyboard and could be crooked on a certain website.

In fact, Uncle Song's ancestor was also an official and a servant, and he was considered a bureaucratic class, although he became a landlord in his generation!

There are some people in this world who regard money as dung, Liu Hongjian originally didn't believe it, but now that he believes it, there are always such conscientious people in the field of science.

"Old Song, can you understand the ratio of black powder?" Liu Hongjian finally said the purpose of this visit.
