Chapter 151: Shock-absorbing carriage

The next day, Wu Changqing met with Qin Fen, a college student recommended by Wei Ziwen.

"Meet the teacher."

Qin Fen bowed with the excitement in his heart. He knew that Wu Changqing must have a task to give to him when he found himself. This was a sign of becoming prosperous.

"Ziyue, how much do you know about Jin Yiwei?"

Wu Changqing asked.

He is going to set up Jinyiwei to collect all kinds of military intelligence and other intelligence for himself.

Jin Yiwei is an intelligence agency used by Zhu Yuanzhang to monitor hundreds of officials. With this agency, Zhu Yuanzhang has identified as many as 100 officials implicated in Hu Weiyong.

A Hu Weiyong case directly involved more than 40,000 people, which is enough to show that Jin Yiwei's ability to collect intelligence is simply pervasive.

Many officials' concubines are eyeliners cultivated by Jin Yiwei.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew all about what the officials ate and drank at night.

At the peak of Jin Yiwei's power, Baiguan's expressions changed drastically when talking about Jin Yiwei.

Qin Fen was even more excited when he heard this. As a person who was committed to officialdom, he knew Jin Yiwei too well. He knew that this was an intelligence agency directly under the emperor and was not under the jurisdiction of any other department. Although the official position was small, his power was limited. great.

Moreover, the person who can be responsible for Jin Yiwei is definitely the emperor's confidant.

This level of identity alone is much more prominent than other high-ranking officials, even if the chief minister of the cabinet sees him, he has to be polite.

Although the reputation of being in charge of Jin Yiwei would not be very good, Qin Fen didn't care. As long as you can get glory and wealth, what do you want this reputation?

Now Wei Ziwen is not often scolded, saying that the articles he wrote are different and disrespectful to the court. He is Wu Changqing's number one running dog.

But what about it, Wei Ziwen, who is still in trouble now, is still in trouble.

And those who can only swear and curse, but they don't even have the opportunity to become officials.

"This is an intelligence agency affiliated with the emperor..."

Qin Fen replied in detail.

His answer was very detailed and specific. Obviously, he understood Jin Yiwei's functions very well, and Wu Changqing was very satisfied.

"Yesterday, a craftsman who came from Suzhou was ambushed on the road, which almost caused the secret of the flintlock to be leaked. On the territory I control, five hundred Qing troops are rampant, and no one can find it. This is a very serious problem. "

Wu Changqing knocked on the table.

"It's really serious, and students will surely share their worries for teachers."

Qin Fen said.

"You are responsible for setting up the shelf first. The name is temporarily called the Military Intelligence Department, and the funding comes directly to me. Three months, I will see results in three months."

Wu Changqing said.

He hasn't publicly rebelled yet, so of course he can't use Jin Yiwei's name. Because Jinyiwei is directly under the emperor's command, it is an institution that the emperor can set up.

If Wu Changqing directly established his own Jinyiwei, it would be tantamount to telling others that he wanted to be the emperor.

The two hundred years of Guo Zuo in the Ming Dynasty was not so easily forgotten by ordinary people and ordinary officials. The time for him to publicly rebel is not yet ripe.

"Students understand."

When Wu Changqing was about to get Jinyiwei, Qin Fen had already determined Wu Changqing's ambitions. However, he didn't have any desire to be loyal to Daming, he was eager for Wu Changqing to be emperor.

Because he is a student of Wu Changqing, the higher Wu Changqing's status, the higher his status.

In Wu Changqing's interest group, the interests of most people have been tied to Wu Changqing. In fact, many people in this group have seen Wu Changqing's self-reliance, but no one has reported to Zhu Yihai.

A few days later, the group of craftsmen arrived in Nanjing under heavy escort.

In Nanjing Weapon Workshop, more than 300 craftsmen have been gathered here, most of whom were originally recruited by Hong Chengchou to make matchlock guns.

These craftsmen have skilled skills. As long as the craftsmen in Suzhou give a little guidance and skills, they can participate in the manufacture of new weapons.

It won’t be long before the scale of this weapon shop will surpass that of Suzhou.

"The main problem of the arsenal now is that the manufacturing speed of gun barrels is too slow. The grenade should be able to meet the supply of the army. After the technical improvement, the speed of the howitzer is also much faster."

Liu Baojunhui reports.

"What about the spring?"

Wu Changqing asked.

"The manufacturing process of the spring is very mature, and the manufacturing speed is very fast. However, without enough barrels, the manufacturing speed of flintlock guns is still not high. At present, only four thousand shots can be manufactured in one month. Wait for the craftsmen here in Nanjing. After being proficient, the monthly output should reach 6,000."

Liu Baojun knew that the flintlock gun was the most lacking in the army, but it was a pity that the production capacity of flintlock guns could not keep up with the army's needs.

However, Wu Changqing was still satisfied with this speed, four thousand a month, and two or three months later, he would be able to gather a force of 20,000 flintlocks, which would be basically unimpeded by then.

"Let the extra spring craftsman make this kind of spring, which can be installed on the carriage to reduce shock."

Wu Changqing took out a sample of the shock-absorbing spring.

The current carriage does not have rubber wheels or shock-absorbing springs. It is quite a bit of a penalty when sitting up. A little unevenness or gravel on the road can all overturn the people in the carriage.

And the road in this period, basically don't expect how smooth.

Ordinary men will not be able to stand the carriage for a long time. And those women, riding in the carriage, suffered even more.

The actresses who ride in the carriage in the costume drama all enjoy it because they ride in the carriage with springs installed.

The real horse-drawn carriages in ancient times were not comfortable at all to sit up. Of course, riding and walking were even more troublesome.

Therefore, Wu Changqing wanted to make a comfortable carriage to sell to the rich and earn some munitions money.

He wants to maintain two weapons workshops, and every month he invests two to thirty thousand taels of silver. All of these manufactured weapons are supplied to the army, and there is no benefit at all.

In the long run, Wu Changqing was also a little unable to hold on.

The key to the shock-absorbing carriage is the spring. This small spring has a very low cost, but the shock-absorbing carriage can be sold at a high price.

Because this is a commodity specifically for the rich, what the rich pursue is enjoyment. Such a comfortable carriage costs hundreds to thousands of taels, which is nothing.

With this kind of shock-absorbing carriage, the ladies of those wealthy businessmen will definitely no longer be willing to make old-fashioned carriages.

At that time, a comfortable shock-absorbing carriage can even become a status symbol. Without a high-end carriage of this kind, would it be embarrassing to be called an upper class person?

This kind of shock-absorbing carriage will be sold at all kinds of sky-high prices like later sports cars.

As long as Wu Changqing masters the manufacturing process of the spring, others can only watch him make a fortune. Even if this secret is discovered by other merchants, there is no need to panic.

Dare to grab business with Weapons Shop, I'm afraid it is too long.

If other people dare to affect the income of the Weapon Shop, and the Weapon Shop has no money to make more advanced weapons, those soldiers will not be able to kill them in minutes.

Even if these big-head soldiers don't trouble them, they don't dare to grab business with Wu Changqing.

The manufacture of the springs can be handed over to the Weapon Workshop, and the parts of the carriage can be handed over to Tong Youwei.

After all, Wu Changqing promised to give him benefits, and Tong Youwei, who is now constantly investing money in cement making, is not a profitable business.

Wu Changqing still likes such a loyal businessman.

Now sharing the profits to Tong Youwei can be regarded as an example for other businessmen, letting other businessmen know that it is definitely beneficial to follow and do things for themselves.
