The daytime in the capital in June is already very hot, which is undoubtedly a torture for Zhu Cijiong, who is used to air conditioning. In the past few years, his heart was tense and he was not in the mood to care about these things. Now, the Ming Dynasty has escaped from the crisis and gradually becomes prosperous and strong. His mood has also relaxed. Once he relaxes, he can't stand this damn hot weather.

Is it possible to build an air conditioner?

Is it easy to build a fan?

Although he doesn't have a motor or no place to connect to the power, he has a steam piston. This thing is sometimes similar to the motor.

As an emperor, it was very easy for him to make something. He directly drew a sketch and called Song Yingxing to explain it briefly. The next day, the fan impeller was made, and then burned a boiler from a distance, sent the steam, and directly drove the piston and gears, and the impeller started to rotate.

This fan was made, but it was too noisy and had no cooling function. However, this was not a problem for a emperor. He directly asked someone to put a big shelf outside the window, and the shelf was filled with ice. The fan blew towards the ice, blew the air conditioner in through the window, and then closed the other doors and windows, and the air-conditioned room was just done.

That day he was taking Zheng Chenggong, Qin Mingyue, and Liu Rushi in his private study to read books. Cao Huachun suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, General Hou Shilu has a secret letter."

"Roll", Qin Mingyue, who was originally sitting on both sides of the conference table reading, stood up like a spring, pretending to be a small fan and ran behind Zhu Cijing and Zheng Chenggong, and gently stoked them. Zhu Cijing shook his head and smiled, then said aloud: "Come on."

Cao Huachun floated in with a whoosh, then quickly turned around and closed the door tightly. Then he respectfully walked to Zhu Cijing and presented the secret letter with both hands.

This letter was requested by Zhu Cijiu. Hou Shilu had to report to him in detail every month about the situation in India. Of course, it was usually nothing for him to lead an army of 50,000 to defend the city of Mysore. The main thing he reported was the movements of Schvira and Condede.

Zhu Cijiu checked the seal, then tore open the envelope, and took out the letter paper and looked serious.

He read the letter and muttered in his heart: "Well, these two guys are pretty good. They have already captured two small indigenous kingdoms... What, they have actually attracted dozens of Portuguese adventure teams to attack the Kutbshashi Dynasty! Business is coming, business is coming!"

Zhu Cijing didn't think they would buy weapons before attacking the Kutbu Shahi Dynasty. If they wanted to buy weapons, they wouldn't recruit so many adventurers. What he valued was to capture the arms market after the Kutbu Shahi Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's muskets and artillery performance is so excellent that those adventurers will definitely not be able to help but buy some. This is not the main thing. You should know that these adventurers are running around the world. They are like a group of mobile live advertisements. It is estimated that it will not take long. All the garrisons and adventurers in all overseas territories in Portugal will know that their allies, the Ming Empire, had excellent muskets and artillery for sale, and then the business was booming!

The business is booming, and this output is a big problem. Now Wang Gong Factory is rushing to produce 200,000 revolver semi-automatic rifles and revolvers equipped for the navy. Even if 20,000 can be produced a month, it will not be possible to produce this batch of guns until the beginning of next year. There are so many cavalrymen in the legion next year. It can be said that according to the current output, it will be impossible to complete the New Year next year. Where can I have time to produce exported guns!

To increase production, we need to build new machine tools, but now Wanggong Factory can no longer put down new machine tools. Could we build a new factory? If we build a new factory, the site issues, personnel recruitment issues, and management issues must be considered. After considering it, Zhu Cijing also considered many serious problems: the organization is bloated, the people are overdoing, the food is inefficient, and the efficiency is low...

Without competition, the bigger the factory runs, the more serious these problems will be. In the past life, many enterprises went bankrupt and many enterprises were reorganized, and there were many others. For various reasons, they could not go bankrupt or reorganize. The final result was that not only did they not make money, they also had to pay countless money in a year.

To avoid this situation, only by introducing a competitive mechanism can there be motivation and competition can there be vitality. In connection with his recent policy of vigorously developing the private economy, he came up with an idea, which is to take out some parts of Wanggong Factory for outsourced processing.

This outsourcing involves more aspects. First of all, you have to have local outsourcing. Now all the parts of the Wanggong Factory are processed with machine tools, but except for Wanggong Factory, the Ming Dynasty and even the whole world, where can they be processed? This involves vigorously developing the private economy. Zhu Cijiu is preparing to select model workers in Wanggong Factory. Several are selected every month. After the selection, they will lend them, equip them with machine tools, and let them build small factories themselves to produce gun parts for Wanggong Factory. As long as these parts are qualified Wanggong Factory, they will buy them at market prices. Not only will the output of firearms increase, but the enthusiasm of workers has also been mobilized. Who doesn’t want to be a boss to make a lot of money, and after becoming a boss, they will definitely work harder to make money. With this alone, the efficiency of raw tea will be significantly improved.

Then, in order to keep the secret, the core parts naturally cannot be taken out for processing. They can only process those time-consuming but not very core parts. For example, a barrel, a barrel, it takes one quarter of an hour to form the outer wall, another quarter of an hour to drill, and a quarter of an hour to smooth the inner wall, and then it takes about one quarter of an hour to rifle, which means that a person works for five hours a day without ten barrels. The workload of this barrel processing is almost half of the total workload of the entire gun, which means that as long as the barrel is taken out for outsourcing, the output of the gun can be increased immediately. The barrel is not the core of the flintlock rifle. Without the flintlock device, the barrel is just a beautiful iron rod, so there is no need to worry about technical leakage at all.

Of course, there are many other problems with the outsiders, but Zhu Cijiu doesn’t have to worry about these things. Once the worker becomes the boss himself, he will worry more than you!

The arms orders will soon fly like snowflakes. Without further ado, Zhu Cijing thought about it carefully and immediately issued an order to ask the Ministry of Works to prepare a new machine tool and a new boiler. He immediately began to select model workers in Wanggong Factory. The first batch will be more, and first select ten or eight, and then cover all the outsiders of the barrel.

In addition, you can't just wait for others to order. Revolver semi-automatic rifles and revolvers have to be advertised. These two things can definitely be sold at a higher price, but the premise is that people have to know that you have this thing!

This advertisement is very simple. Zhu Cijing asked someone to directly choose two revolver semi-automatic rifles and two revolvers, inlaid with gold-lined dragon scale patterns on the buttstock, and then paired each gun with five revolvers, one hundred rounds of bullets, and installed them in exquisite sandalwood boxes. He directly sent one hundred Jinyiwei to India to give it to Schvira and Condede. He said that this was the commemorative version of the new type of gun, and it was only given and not sold. If you want to buy it, please order it. Two hundred taels of revolver and four hundred taels of revolver semi-automatic rifles, and one month delivery.

As for these Jinyiwei, they were actually sent to serve as spies. When southern India stabilized, economic colonization would begin, and the work must be done well.

At that time, the shipping speed of the Ming Dynasty was incomparable to that of modern times, so these hundred Jinyiwei arrived in India more than a month later. At this time, Schvira and Kongdede had already taken over the Kutbu Shahi Dynasty and were celebrating wildly with a group of adventurer leaders. Even if Zhu Cijiong did not send these hundred Jinyiwei, they would probably ask Hou Shilu to order arms in a few days.

When a hundred Jinyiwei appeared in front of Shi Weila, he was so excited that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire actually sent someone to give him gifts. What a great honor! When he opened the sandalwood box, all the adventurers were so excited. Such exquisite guns were unheard of and unseen!

At the strong request of a group of adventurer leaders, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, who led the team, demonstrated the power of the revolver on the spot. He did not use the one from Schvira. Due to the special nature of the work, this team of Jinyiwei was also considered a bird gun replacement, and each of them was equipped with a revolver.

The Jinyiwei Qianhu quickly pulled out the revolver from his waist, and shot six shots at a half-man-sized pillar twenty or thirty steps away. Wood chips immediately flew across the pillars. Before everyone could react, he opened the fastener and took out the rotor, left it on his waist, and then took out another rotor and installed it. He closed the fastener with a click, and six shots at the other pillars. In less than a minute, a total of twelve shots were fired!

Now these adventurers leaders are almost crazy. With such a fast firing rate and such convenient operation, they buy cakes, this is simply an invincible artifact! When facing natives, unless they are large-scale combat, they will rarely be attacked long-rangely. These adventurers have very few opportunities to participate in large-scale battles, so they fall in love with the revolver at first sight.

After a brief silence, all the adventurers present began to order revolvers crazily, at least one hundred. They had just followed Schvira and Condede to capture a huge empire, and each person had at least one hundred taels, two hundred taels per person, which was simply too cheap.

There was an adventurer leader with only 150 men who ordered three hundred men. The leader next to him couldn't help but ask curiously: "Do you have only more than 100 men? Why order so many pistols?"

The leader said contemptuously: "You know, you don't need to use both hands. Holding one hand with one hand is so cool. Don't even think about getting close to you with a dozen enemies!"

As a result, the order volume of revolver almost doubled.

Schvira and Condede were not as extreme as theirs. Revolvers were good, but they were not very useful in large-scale combat. They had no one to order more than a thousand, just for artillery and officers to protect themselves. They liked the power of the semi-automatic rifles, but their rifles were fully equipped, so no one ordered only one thousand, just for strengthening firepower. They estimated that they had been defending the city for a long time, so they ordered 10,000 grenades and 10,000 landmines by the way. In addition, they used almost the same ammunition, and they also ordered a batch of ammunition.

After this trip, there were nearly 20,000 revolvers, 1,000 semi-automatic revolvers, plus 20,000 ammunition from 20,000 people, 20,000 grenades and 20,000 landmines, totaling nearly 10 million taels. The arms business is like robbing money!

Of course this is just the beginning. When these adventurers run to the territory of other governors in Portugal, orders will be more!
Chapter completed!
