Chapter 298 Innovation in Arms System (Fifth Change)

Wen Tiren thought so, and waited for a while, but did not see other colleagues answering the emperor's words, so he played by himself: "Your Majesty is so heroic, Daming Royal Cement Company, Daming Construction Bank, etc. are all geniuses, and I admire you so much. Now on the matter of weapons, I also listen to your majesty."

When he said this, if his previous guess was correct, then what he said must be in the emperor's arms; if his previous guess was wrong, then the emperor would be annoyed, saying what is the purpose of raising you bastards?Well, Wen Tiren is not the only one of you bastards.

Hearing his words, other courtiers followed suit. If there is such a thing as the cement company, all the ministries will be rewarded, and everyone will naturally like it.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen took a look at Wen Tiren, thinking that the chief assistant knew him best, so he said slowly: "I do have an idea, since you have no other way, then I will tell you about it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone took a look at Wen Tiren, and then listened attentively.

I only heard Emperor Chongzhen say: "The Bureau of Military Warfare and the Military Weapons Bureau will no longer directly allocate funds to start construction, but will be responsible for their own profits and losses..."

Upon hearing this opening, all the courtiers were taken aback.This statement was unprecedented, and they had to concentrate on listening.

"That is to say, the Bingzhan Bureau and the Military Weapons Bureau have to rely on their own strength to win orders. For example, the armor of the new army needs [-] sets of such a thing. First, the Bingzhan Bureau and the Military Weapons Bureau each provide samples to the new army. Army, the new army will select the favorite armor, if the products of the Bingzhan Bureau are excellent, the Bingzhan Bureau will start manufacturing, and the Military Weapons Bureau will have nothing to do with these [-] sets of armor..."

Hearing this, many ministers realized that this seemed to be a business?

"The new army pays a deposit first, and finally the armor accepted is as good as the sample, and the balance is paid; if there is something substandard, the Bingzhan Bureau will not get the rest of the money, and may even lose money due to delays .”

Having said this, Emperor Chongzhen slowly glanced at the courtiers underneath, and finally glanced at the three corpses on the ground, and then continued: "In this example, if the Bingzhan Bureau successfully completes this transaction, the proceeds will be The money belongs to the Military Bureau. Of course, this money needs to be taxed. In addition, it can be used to improve and improve the treatment of stewards and craftsmen, and can be used to develop sharp weapons to make better weapons for the new army to buy. Probably It’s such an idea, do you have any doubts?”

To put it bluntly, this idea is also very simple. It is to no longer let the Bureau of Military Warfare and the Bureau of Armaments have a big pot, and let these two departments compete with each other, and the interests of all the departments are related.

After Emperor Chongzhen asked, after a long time, Min Hongxue first raised a question: "Your Majesty, before buying this weapon, was it given to the new army in advance?"

"It is neither." Emperor Chongzhen immediately answered the question, "The money was allocated to the new army on paper, but it did not go through the hands of the new army, and it still exists in the household department. But the use of the money will have new benefits." The army has the final say. If the transaction goes well, the Bingzhan Bureau and the Weapons Bureau can receive the money from the Ministry of Accounts based on the transaction contract."

In this way, it is possible to prevent the money from going directly to the new army and possible corruption.Min Hongxue nodded inwardly, and immediately asked again: "Then what if the new army makes things difficult on purpose or only chooses armor from the military or military bureau according to their preferences?"

He is the only one who has the experience of leading the army and has rich experience in local politics. Therefore, these questions are very important. After hearing this, other colleagues can't help but nod their heads. Seeing the emperor's answer, will they be overwhelmed by the question.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had thought about it a long time ago, so he was able to answer immediately: "This requires the Bureau of Military Warfare and the Bureau of Ordnance to formulate a set of standards for testing the quality of products, such as armor, how heavy it is, and how strong its defense is." , all have clear specification parameters, which can be divided into qualified, good, and excellent. At that time, the selection of samples and the inspection of final products must be based on these specification parameters. Personal preferences should be avoided as much as possible. It’s the parameters that have the final say!”

When Min Hongxue heard it, he couldn't help but praise it in his heart.These two issues just now are actually very likely to lead to major corruption.However, the emperor's method can solve the several situations of corruption in his mind.

For example, it is impossible for the general to pass on the money to make a fortune; it is also impossible for the people in the Military Bureau or the Weapons Bureau to let the general choose his own armor through behind-the-scenes transactions.Although it may not be 100% eradicated, at least in Min Hongxue's opinion, this method is better than the old method of directly appropriating funds for supervision.

Nan Juyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, did not see the emperor's accountability, but focused on discussing the new law. He was relieved, and after hearing the conversation between his assistant minister Min Hongxue and the emperor, he couldn't help playing along: "Your Majesty, if the military weapon The bureau has been unable to get the order, what should I do?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned his eyes to him and said, "Unless the Military Weapons Bureau keeps producing these shoddy things, there will definitely be orders. In addition, there is another idea. For example, if the Military Weapons Bureau is good at firearms, they should specialize in this and develop even more powerful ones. Firearms. In this way, if the Ming army wants to configure firearms, it must be ordered from the Military Weapons Bureau. That is to say, the Military Weapons Bureau and the Military Weapons Bureau will not communicate with each other in the future, and the products developed by themselves are strictly kept secret. If it is stolen, I will never forgive it lightly."

The statement that implied the patents of later generations refreshed the cognition of these courtiers.Many people looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and continued to say something related to him: "The Military Weapons Bureau was originally in charge of the ambassador, and it was the ninth rank. Jurisdiction, other people, etc., are not allowed to intervene. The same is true for the military battle bureau, which is under the direct management of the eunuch who is in charge of the ceremony."

When Cao Huachun on the side heard this, he couldn't help being slightly surprised and envious at the same time.That Wang Dehua has benefited him.

"Your Majesty, is this... is this too important?" Nan Juyi asked hesitantly upon hearing this.

The ambassador was originally a ninth-rank official, and he was only a small role in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.All of a sudden, he became a fifth-rank official, and the most important thing is that he will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Industry in the future, and this status will change drastically in an instant.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately shook his head, and said decisively: "Military weapons are the most important weapons of the country. In the past, they were of the ninth rank, which was too neglected. In the future, the director of the Military Weapons Bureau will have more powers and must be responsible for the Military Weapons Bureau." Responsible for profit and loss, as long as it is for the production of excellent weapons, regardless of the distribution of personnel or benefits, you have the right to adjust the report to you, and finally review it. Functions and official positions have changed a bit, which is why I want to change the name of the ambassador to the director original intention."

Nan Juyi frowned slightly when he heard this, so what about the others?
　I still have this update, and I still owe two updates.These two are the additions to the finalists.Speaking of which, I am not calm at this age. Because of this, I didn’t sleep well that night. I got up after twelve o’clock to send red envelopes in the Q group. I woke up from three o’clock to 06:30 in a daze.Today I finally got tired. I originally wanted to be a mason, but I took a nap for more than three hours, which delayed a lot of things.
