On February 20, the third day after the relocation of the Myanmar Firearm Manufacturing Bureau under the leadership of Xu Guangqi, Xiao Ruxun arrived at Shijingshan, the location of the brand new Daqin Firearm Manufacturing Bureau.

From the third day after its founding, Xiao Ruxun began to choose the most suitable location of the General Administration of Firearm Manufacturing within the capital. The Ming Dynasty originally had the Royal Gunpowder Bureau, which was the famous Wanggongchang Gunpowder Bureau, in the inner city of the capital, about three kilometers away from the Imperial City.

The royal family may think that this distance is safer, but in fact, it is useless. A big explosion in Wang Gongchang forced the emperor to issue a self-criticism.

Xiao Ruxun could not understand how the royal family allowed the production of gunpowder to be so close to the imperial city and was still in a population place.

In this era, there was no such strong safety awareness and operating specifications as modern times. There are also records that the gunpowder factory explosion that also occurred in the 30th year of Wanli was because when the gunpowder that had been moist and clumped for a long time was produced, some soldiers actually chose to use a sharp axe to split the moist and clumped gunpowder!

As a result, many people were killed.

Referring to these materials, the cause of the so-called mysterious Wang Gongchang explosion is very clear, because of the explosion accident caused by operational errors and inadequate safety awareness.

The power of the gunpowder explosion at that time was definitely not so great. It is estimated that the powder would have such serious consequences because the dry matter of heaven was scattered in the air and the dust explosion occurred in open fire.

Taking these things into consideration, Xiao Ruxun moved all the factories related to gunpowder and open flames in the capital to Shijingshan area, where he built a brand new Daqin Firearm Manufacturing Bureau and appointed Xu Guangqi to fully manage it.

The overall relocation of the Myanmar Firearms Manufacturing Bureau took a lot of effort, and moved from Myanmar to Shijingshan, the capital, and then facilitated Xiao Ruxun to control and manage the factory in all aspects, and also prevented disasters caused by some inappropriate operations.

Of course, this is the place where firearms are manufactured, and in a sense it is even a state secret. In order to protect state secrets, Xiao Ruxun deployed 5,000 elite troops around the General Administration of Firearms Manufacturing, including 1,000 elite Myanmar's old foundation, to provide comprehensive management and protection of the General Administration of Firearms Manufacturing.

At the same time, Black Stein's spies were also arranged to enter the company, responsible for personnel management and surveillance identification. Anyone who does not belong to the institution is not allowed to approach here unless there is Xiao Ruxun's handwritten warrant and token.

Of course, Xiao Ruxun can enter by scanning her face.

The emperor came in person, and all the officials from all over the world from the General Administration of Manufacturing were coming to greet him, but he didn't see Xu Guangqi. It seemed that Xu Guangqi was still a little jealous of Xiao Ruxun's behavior of proclaiming himself emperor. It didn't matter. Xiao Ruxun was tolerant enough to Xu Guangqi, as long as he worked hard, just like Yuan Huang.

Yuan Huang has already begun to build Dachi Road and organize the refugees around the capital. He is in an orderly manner. He is also learning experience from a large number of young officials around him. He will then devote all of them to the construction of Dachi Road.

Xu Guangqi was also silently studying firearms. In a short time, he also produced two achievements such as Minnie bullets and short-handled handguns, and the results were indeed very great.

Although these progress cannot be invested in equipment on a large scale at present, at least it has been made and there are enough results and records. Xiao Ruxun spent hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars into it, which is not without results.

The results are still quite obvious.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun granted another million silver research fund to the General Administration of Firearm Manufacturing at that time, and handed it over to Xu Guangqi to fully handle it. At the same time, the newly established Central Audit Department under the Ministry of Revenue will be supervised and used.

Xiao Ruxun formed the Audit Department with a group of new officials who managed the allocation of food and grass in the former army. He was nominally subordinate to the Ministry of Revenue, but in fact he was directly responsible to Xiao Ruxun himself. His power was to supervise the use of central funding and use standards. They all used simple and easy-to-understand Arabic numerals and statistical tables for auditing.

The conclusions they came to will be reported directly to Xiao Ruxun, and asked Xiao Ruxun to compare the statistical results given by these statisticians of the institutions themselves to compare them. If they match, it would be great. If they don’t match, I’m sorry, Heiji invites you to have tea.

It’s not that Xiao Ruxun could not trust Xu Guangqi, but that he could not trust others. There will always be deviations in the central government’s intentions when they go to the local area. The deviation in execution strength is the reason why Xiao Ruxun set up the audit department, but this does not hinder his trust in Xu Guangqi.

Even if Xu Guangqi doesn't want to pay attention to him, it doesn't matter. He can go to Xu Guangqi in person. Who made Xu Guangqi really capable?

During this period, he has integrated Xiao Ruxun's achievements in Myanmar for three years, and has become the most powerful expert in the General Administration of Firearm Manufacturing. He has presided over various research projects and made great progress.

Xiao Ruxun can tolerate him in some ways by showing his work attitude and work results.

So he personally arrived at Xu Guangqi's office to find Xu Guangqi.

When Xiao Ruxun went in, Xu Guangqi was taking a document and watching it carefully. As soon as Xiao Ruxun came in, Xu Guangqi looked up and saw Xiao Ruxun. He hesitated for a moment before standing up and walking to Xiao Ruxun, intending to kneel down and greet him.

Xiao Ruxun raised Xu Guangqi with one hand.

"This is not a formal occasion. Why not kneel? Don't kneel down, sit down!"

Xiao Ruxun found a chair and sat opposite Xu Guangqi's desk. Xu Guangqi was a little surprised, but without hesitation, walked to his seat and sat down, facing Xiao Ruxun, who had become the emperor.

He didn't know how much he felt in his heart.

"How is the research done? How much production can the light-released lead bullet and the light-released flintlock gun now achieve?"

A few days ago, Xiao Ruxun personally issued an order to give the new flintlock gun and the new Minni bullet the Guangqi Fuslock gun and the Guangqi lead bullet to commend Xu Guangqi's great contribution to this matter, and then gave him land and residence, and brought all his family to the capital to properly resettle, which was considered as a pleasing to his heart.

At the same time, he also gave him a faint warning.

Do your best!

Xu Guangqi clearly understood Xiao Ruxun’s intention, so he didn’t say a word and continued to do what he should do, which seemed a little unscathing.

It doesn't matter, as long as he does things honestly, Xiao Ruxun doesn't care much about other things.

"The key is that there are not many craftsmen who can meet the requirements, so although there are many other craftsmen and can use assembly line methods to make bird guns according to His Majesty's requirements, only some skilled old craftsmen can do it. Therefore, the output has not been improved. According to the current production capacity, up to fifty pieces per month."

Xiao Ruxun thought about it.

To make this army combat effectiveness, it takes at least ten thousand such flintlock guns to equip the army, fifty one month, which means it takes twenty months, one year and eight months to equip an army.

More importantly, it is not guaranteed that all of them are good products, and there are a considerable number of defective and unqualified products, which is equivalent to being discarded. The funds required are a huge number. When money is needed now, when Xiao Ruxun has a lot of money in his hands, it is impossible to provide it to the General Administration of Firearm Manufacturing without restrictions.

"It is enough to make ten light-released flintlock guns every month. They must be guaranteed to be good products. The others are to improve the production methods as much as possible. After all, human construction is slow and unstable. We must study the way equipment is built, just like a loom, do you understand?"

Xu Guangqi nodded.

"I understand."
