Chapter 466
"Oh, don't you want my man? I didn't know that your old horse likes this tune. You are familiar with it. You can't take this joke. Brother, I really can't follow my orders." Xiao Chen said.
Just a few words and jokes, let’s get down to business.
Ma Wuming wanted to ask Xiao Chen how to make the ballista, as well as the rubber tires he installed on the wheels.
"Calbow cart? Isn't this a matter of the Ministry of Military Vehicles? What does it have to do with your Ministry of Industry?" Xiao Chen was surprised.
"Just say you don't kiss my brother!" Ma Wuming laughed, "Ma Wuqing, the doctor of the Ministry of Military Vehicles, is my younger brother. He asked me to beg you. Didn't you have a bad relationship with Lu Jing before?" , Lu Jing is not easy to find you, I am afraid that you will give him a soft nail, so this matter finally fell on my brother and me."
Xiao Chen personally invented and supervised the crossbow chariot, which showed great power in actual combat. The generals who heard the news were very envious, and asked Lu Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, to ask for it. They all thought it was the latest chariot developed by the Ministry of War.
But Lu Jing didn't know about it at all, what ballista? I have a crossbow and a chariot, but I don't have a ballista... What is a ballista?
After inquiring later, I found out that it was Xiao Chen's newly invented battlefield killer!
He had a feud with Xiao Chen, he was so stingy when Xiao Chen asked him for horses, but later Xiao Chen repaid his grievances with virtue and gave him tens of thousands of horses to solve his urgent need.
He also thoughtfully gave him so many good leathers... I couldn't help but feel guilty.
Besides, I promised to invite him to drink and give him a warm welcome because I was too busy to take care of it, so what I did was really dishonest... I was always too embarrassed to come to the door and ask him again.
Fortunately, Ma Wuqing's elder brother is Ma Wuming, the driver of the military department, and Ma Wuming has a good relationship with Xiao Chen. Anyway, Ma Wuqing is also in charge of the frame, so it is more appropriate for him to come forward to find Xiao Chen.
"Then what are you talking about!" Xiao Chen is a person with multiple emotions, isn't your brother also my own brother? Dang even readily agreed, "I'll send someone to send you a detailed manufacturing drawing later!"
Will it be delivered? of course it's true.
But is it really as detailed as he said? Must be fake.
The ballista is one of Xiao Chen's magic weapons, how could he give it away so easily after wasting so much of his efforts?
And Da Zhou will definitely be his enemy in the future, what the hell, I will tell you how to make the ballista, and after you make it, use it to shoot me?
Isn't this a joke.
So he will make a small change in the structure diagram of the ballista...
Anyway, this is all designed by him, and you can change it as you like. As for the fact that it doesn't work well after you use it, that's your own problem.
If you want to ask me for advice, I am also willing to help you... if I have time.
As for rubber tires, Xiao Chen said that I really can't help, because the manufacturing process is too complicated and the procedures are extremely cumbersome.
And now I'm still exploring. The tires I manufactured are barely usable, and they all rot after a few uses.
In addition, the cost is too high, not only the manufacturing cost is high, but also the cost of raw materials is high. The main reason is that we don’t have this stuff in China. I still bought some from foreigners on the other side of the ocean, and I’ve used up all of them now.
But don't worry, old horse, when I have money, I will definitely buy a large amount and come back to develop it meticulously.
When the technology is mature enough to be mass-produced, I will definitely open a branch factory in Fengyang City. Is it a joint venture between Yanyun County and your Ministry of Industry? Like that heating plant...
Xiao Chen's words are half true and half false, and Ma Wuming also firmly believes it.
Xiao Chen came to look for Ma Wuming but it was also a business matter. He was planning to start a large-scale civil engineering project in Yanyun County, build roads, repair city walls, and build bridges...
There is also the construction of strong coastal defenses in Shunfeng Harbor.
"Shunfeng Harbor hasn't been taken down yet, so you're too hasty in planning this matter, right?" Ma Wuming sounded fresh.
"Shunfeng Harbor must be won, and it will definitely be won. It is a matter of time. I have to prepare in advance, not only to build coastal defenses, but also to expand the port and build a few more piers. In addition, the Bailong River also needs to be dredged. Let's build the embankment, and it will be easier to transfer materials in the future..." Xiao Chen has too many things to do.
Another big thing is to build a dock, that is, a shipyard.
Ask Ma Wuming to help find a group of skilled shipbuilders. Now all the boats running back and forth in Shunfeng Harbor are other people's ships. Is it true that I, Yanyun County, don't even have a freighter of my own?
These Ma Wuming can help, but they are only helping to find someone for him, that is to say, Yanyun County has to pay for the craftsman's salary, otherwise the cost will be too high, and the Ministry of Industry cannot afford it.
Xiao Chen urgently needs all kinds of technical talents now, no matter how much money he spends, he doesn't care, because these people will create huge wealth for Yanyun County!
"By the way, there is one more thing, old horse, you must help me. I need a lot of copper, iron and lead skins now. You can deal with me several million catties anyway. At most, I will buy it from you with money." Xiao Chen seemed to be Suddenly remembered the same.
"Then you have found the wrong person. The smelter is not under the control of our Ministry of Industry." Ma Wuming said that there was nothing he could do to help.
"Who cares about you?" Xiao Chen was stunned, "Didn't you give a lot of iron and steel ingots last time?"
"Did I give that to you? You snatched it from me!" Ma Wuming was still angry when he mentioned this, "I just shipped it and waited for it to be used. In the end, I went to the Ministry of Finance again Negotiations took a lot of lip service."
Fuck, this is all under the control of the household department?
That's a little troublesome bird.
"Why do you want so much steel?" Ma Wuming said, "It's millions of catties. Do you think it's soil? This is an important strategic material, and the transport volume of more than 10,000 catties has to be reported to the Ministry of Households for approval." .”
"Fuck, I don't like dealing with Chen Wenqi, he's too petty." Xiao Chen was a little worried.
"He has to be stingy when he manages the household department. That Liu Han is generous. Look at how big a deficit he has made? Dealing with Chen Wenqi is hard and easy, and it's easy and easy...as long as you can give him what he wants, You can get what you want." Ma Wuming said.
"How do I know what he wants? If I want Rose girls, I can find some for him!" Xiao Chen said.
"Don't tell me, he just likes women, and he also likes tall and big people. Have you seen the concubines in his family? They are even taller than me." Ma Wuming said with a smile .
"It turns out that Chen Wenqi likes wild horses?" Xiao Chenxin said that it is true that carrots and cabbages have their own preferences.
But Chen Wenqi looks like an old pedant, he has always been quite sanctimonious, I thought he was not lewd...
But it's definitely not enough to just send him beautiful women to match what he likes. As Ma Wuming said, he has to give him what he wants.
So what exactly does he want?
"Food!" Ma Wuming said, "Minzhou County has tossed out more than 100,000 disaster victims. The emperor ordered his household department to distribute food relief, but now is the time when the old food is not enough. It will take several months for the food to arrive..."
