Chapter 58: The Thick-skinned Realm
Chongzhen couldn't understand why Liu Hongjian was so interested in three little-known figures, but as the emperor, it was not easy to recruit three or two people?
Immediately, Chongzhen wrote a holy decree, and after using the seal, he asked Wang Chengen to send it to the general envoy to report.
After saying his own business, Liu Hong gradually saluted and wanted to turn around and flash, but as soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by Chongzhen.
The previous cabinet was almost ended by Liu Hong, until now the cabinet of the imperial court is still in a semi-crippled state, in recent days, the courtiers have suggested that the cabinet be reorganized, Chongzhen wants to ask Liu Hongji's opinion.
Eh, Liu Hong gradually scratched his head and was a little embarrassed, if you want to say that you are copying your family, let's do it, let me recommend the cabinet members, those old men are almost the same, how do I know who is suitable!
However, since Chongzhen asked, Liu Hongjian was still ready to say his opinion.
The first thing is to find people who do practical things, like Wei Zaode, who can observe words and looks, and what is the use of those who are also trustworthy? The Manchu Qing called, didn't he pout his ass and didn't know what to say? Can you still squirt people to death with spittle or what?
Don't tell me anything about the mediocrity of the university, both ability and political integrity, Lao Tzu only looks at who can do things, soldiers, look at your ability to train, lead troops, and command operations, workers, look at the results of your battalion, Yu Heng, and Dushui......
Like the current Shangshu, it's not bad!
In short, it works! Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
didn't say much, Liu Hongjian just expressed his thoughts, seeing that Chongzhen's brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about the meaning of what Liu Hongjian said, Liu Hongjian didn't bother and turned around and planned to leave.
"What are you flustered about, now you are also a cabinet scholar, but the court will never see you! There are many criticisms from the courtiers, and I order you to come to the court at least once every three days! ”
Liu Hong gradually tiptoed and turned back with a bitter face.
"Do you do it once every seven days?" Having a meeting with a bunch of old men, it was still an endless meeting, and Liu Hongjian felt bored when he thought about it.
"How dare you bargain with me? No way! Chongzhen had a straight face, every time he discussed the problem with Liu Hong, although he couldn't understand the root of the problem for a while, he always had some inspiration after that.
So much so that Chongzhen longed for Liu Hongjian to stay by his side every day and be a full-time consultant.
But he also knew that Liu Hong gradually belonged to the character of not leaving, rushing to retreat, and he was still very lazy, alas, it was really a headache.
"Five days, then? Your Majesty, you also know that the minister has been training recently, and he is too busy to do it, and the minister doesn't want to be laughed at if he doesn't practice well, but it's the emperor's pro-army!"
Liu Hongjian really doesn't like to hold meetings, and he can rely on it once if he can be cheeky.
"Humph!" Chongzhen snorted coldly, thinking in his heart that with your thousand soldiers, what can he do if he is trained, but he is too lazy to bargain with this lazy boy.
Phew—it's finally gone!
Liu Hong gradually saw Chongzhen's acquiescence, let out a sigh of relief, and bowed out of the Qianqing Palace.
It's good to have a thick skin! I knew that I could get through the world with a thick skin, and I had to learn anything from this thick black, Liu Hong gradually thought to himself.
Thick-skinned skin can be roughly divided into the following realms, first, I don't know that I have thick skin, and second, I know that I have thick skin, but I'm afraid that others will know.
Thirdly, everyone, including myself, knows that he is thick-skinned.
This fourth realm is also the highest realm, not only do you know that you are thick-skinned, but others also know that you are thick-skinned, and you are afraid that others will not know, so remind everyone if you have nothing to do.
This realm is abbreviated: shameless!
Compared with those court ministers who think that the water is too cold, think about it, I guess I am just getting started!
It's a long way to go! I will go up and down to seek......
Liu Hong gradually shook his head, and went out of the palace to the Ministry of Industry again.
Since the last time Liu Hongjian handed over AKM to Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Hongjian has seen Lao Shangshu twice in total, and each time Old Man Fan frowned, looking pensive.
Compared with the strict organization of Li Banghua's military department, the Ministry of Engineering is more lively, and a bunch of engineering bigwigs are either discussing construction plans around various drawings, or discussing and dealing with the engineering projects proposed by lower-level departments.
Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stood next to the innermost case, and there was a pile of parts on the case, and Liu Hong's eyes widened.
Good boy! Isn't that my AKM?
How did it end up in a pile of parts? What did Old Man Fan do to it? My gun!
Fan Jingwen saw a rare guest, hurriedly put down the work in his hand and walked out to greet him.
"Rare guest, An Guobo! It just so happens that the old man has a question, please ask you! Come on! Lao Shangshu invited Liu Hongjian to the table and pointed to the pile of parts.
"I'm ashamed! The old man broke up the mother of Aka a few days ago, and now he ...... I don't know how to assemble ......"
Lao Shangshu looked embarrassed, if it weren't for the wrinkles on his face to cover the embarrassment, he would really be an old monkey with a red butt.
This is the difference between engineering students and liberal arts students, if Wei Zaode or Qian Shui is cold here, Liu Hong gradually dares to ensure that people's faces are not red, their ears are not red, and they will make you ashamed of yourself.
Although he was also a layman about firearms at the beginning, Liu Hong gradually went to the ring to fiddle with it when he had nothing to do, and now it is not a big problem to assemble an AKM.
The other officials in the middle hall also put down their work and gathered around, and in only three minutes, Liu Hongjian finished reassembling the AKM, and the old Shangshu who looked directly was secretly surprised.
All the engineering bigwigs around him also applauded.
Liu Hong gradually asked Lao Shangshu if he had any reputation for this AKM research, Lao Shangshu sighed and shook his head, he showed this gun to almost all the casting masters in the Ministry of Industry to observe, but they all shook their heads and didn't know what the principle was.
It is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty was still an arquebus at this time, while AKM was a firing pistol, and there was a generation of firing guns in between.
Liu Hongjian came this time to take away the AKM, this thing is now every treasure, and with the current level of science and technology, even if it can be studied and understood, it can't be made, it is better to study and study the gun, which is also the second thing he visited the Ministry of Industry.
Liu Hongjian did not speak, reached out to take the brush on the table, and drew the schematic diagram of the sui firing gun on the rice paper with his thoughts, the brushwork was rough, but basically he could express the meaning clearly.
Fan Jingwen took the paper and observed it carefully, his brows were furrowed, he was old, and he seemed to be unable to see clearly, Lao Shangshu immediately walked to the window again, looked at the light for a while, but still frowned, and handed over the drawings to his colleagues.
The drawings were only circulated around the people, but the final result was that one person frowned and a bunch of people frowned.
Liu Hong gradually looked at this group of construction elites of the Ming Empire.
It's not that these people in front of you are not smart enough, in fact, the Ministry of Industry gathers the entire Ming Empire's construction and craftsman elites, but sometimes the breakthrough of science and technology is like a very thin layer of window paper, you know that there is something behind the window paper, but you just can't see through it.
The so-called flintlock pistol clamps a piece of flint on the jaws of the hammer, and a blow anvil is provided on the side of the fire hole, and when shooting, the trigger is pulled, and under the action of the spring, the flint is hit heavily on the edge of the fire door, and sparks emerge to ignite the gunpowder and fire.
Liu Hongjian was like a magic stick piercing this layer of window paper, and in just a few words, he announced the core principle of the starting pistol.
The arquebus is not only troublesome and inefficient, but also cannot be used in rainy days or slightly humid environments, which greatly hinders the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and even now there are still many generals who do not like firearms.
"Genius! Da Ming will add another weapon to kill the enemy, An Guobo has such a great talent at a young age, and it will definitely go down in history!
The old man will arrange for the craftsman to try to make it, no, the old man will go to the emperor to report the good news first! The old man went first. Lao Shangshu rushed out of the door, and did not forget to bring the sketch.
No one understands the importance of this invention to the Ming Dynasty better than the Ministry of Industry Shangshu.
