Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 375 Drastic Restructuring

At the moment when the noisy words sounded, Li Xian didn't pay much attention to it.

meeting...

That's it, put on a show, sort out the whole incident, and put a few important words in it.

Things to do tomorrow, safety issues, and my general grasp of the situation in the firearms camp.

Overall, Li Xian is quite satisfied with this meeting, it covers everything, and how much he can listen to depends entirely on these officials' self-perception.

Walking into his temporary mansion, the fragrance of incense permeates the house, which seems to relieve the fatigue of the day. Sitting on a comfortable soft couch, touching the soft leather with his fingertips, Li Xian felt for the first time from the bottom of his heart that Li Xian Second, this person is actually not bad...

creak.

The quaint door was pushed open from the outside, and Xu Mao appeared at the door with a burnt clay pot.

He brought up the hot water with a smile, nodded and bowed to Li Xian.

"Mr. Li has been sleepy for a day, drink a cup of green tea to relieve fatigue."

In the words, the cups on the long table have been removed, and the tea is brewed.

Sometimes Li Xian really admired this follower, obviously his private official position was no lower than his own, but he wanted to serve him with nods and bows, but there was no sign of discomfort on that chubby face.

How did this kid manage to be so calm?
Aware that Li Xian was looking at him, Xu Mao raised his head slightly, still smiling with a harmless smile.

"Li Shilang went deep with a hundred horses and broke through the city gate in anger, which made all the officials admire him."

"When they heard that the firearms battalion was dispatched to help manufacture firearms, all the officials looked forward to it."

"Now all the officials are already ready, but isn't the task assigned by Li Shilang a little too hasty and general, which will inevitably lead to the suspicion of shirking each other?"

Li Xian scratched his head, feeling really troubled.

To be honest, how many departments and organizations there are in the Ministry of Industry have not yet figured out how to assign their respective characters?
In the past, when I made horseshoes in the Ministry of Industry, I was just a hand-off shopkeeper. I wandered around the workshop in my free time and gave advice, and I let myself go when I was busy. I handed it to the old man in the Ministry of Industry.

How to let them perform their duties, this is a problem....

Li Xian supported his head, tapping his temples with his fingers.Seeing Xu Mao put down the teapot and stand quietly in front of him, Nu Nuzui signaled him to sit down.

"No hurry, no hurry, just arrange the safety production matters first."

"Brother Xu understands the positions of various official positions better than I do, so he must not tolerate me much in this matter."

"As for the production of this formula, once our craftsmen have prepared these basic things, the production of Shaking Thunder will become handy. When it is completed in the future, we will first make hundreds of them, listen to the sound, and make it lively."

Uh……

This sharp weapon for defending against enemies, which can tear the entire city to pieces, actually wants to be heard by you?

You don't take such fetishes seriously, do you?
Xu Mao looked at Li Xian with black lines all over his face, seeing that Li Xian had no intention of ordering any more, he cupped his hands.

"As the Minister's lord said, Xu Xing should do it well."

"It's just the preparation and loading in the future, I'm afraid the lower officials will be powerless."

Having said that, Xu Mao had an apologetic smile on his face.

"The military has a major issue, and Li Shilang needs to take care of it with all his heart."

Holding the hot tea in the palm of his hand, Li Xian took a sip carefully, the familiar taste rolled down his mouthpiece, and he felt refreshed.

Blowing away the floating leaves on the tea water again, Li Xian gave a small smile of enjoyment.

"For the benefit of the country and the people, we ministers should contribute our efforts, especially for these important matters for the stability of His Majesty's country and society. We ministers must also work overtime."

Staring at Li Xian's calm, relaxed face, Xu Mao hesitated for a long time, thinking about how to bring the issue of food to the fore.

While meditating, seeing Li Xian toasting, he habitually put on a slight smile and returned the salute with a cup of tea.

After considering his words for a moment, Xu Mao said tentatively with a look of worry on his round face.

"Li Shilang, the Ministry of Industry's allocation of money is all determined by the Ministry of Households. Usually, these meats and vegetables are rare in the military camp. For our firearms camp, this kind of meal is enough."

"Now, if the meals are completely restructured according to what Li Shilang said, I am afraid that such a salary will not be enough for our meals to be distributed until the end of the year, and even not enough for March..."

what?
Li Xian, who was drinking tea, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"As a military weapon, we are so poor?"

"Is there no special care? Allot more?"

There was a look of embarrassment on the fat and white cheeks, and he nodded slightly.

"It's a little difficult..."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Li Xian leaned back on the seat, feeling a little disappointed and unwilling.

What is this!
After all, we are also military weapons, and what we manufacture is something that does not exist in this era.

Even if it is placed in the future generations, there is no funding, so it's a fart.

Leaving aside the issue of saltpeter reserves, even if you go to private procurement and collection, you still need money?

Let's talk about the sulfur. This thing is not mined in Datang at this time. Where can I buy sulfur in batches?
Even if Li Xian came here with the same knowledge as later generations, knowing that such treasures are buried deep underground in the Land of Abundance, it still requires a lot of money to mine!

Li Xian was unwilling to do such a matter of asking for money, so he frowned and looked at Xu Mao.

"Is money so difficult to deal with? Is there any other way?"

Uh……

There was an ugly look on his smiling cheeks, and he shook his head slightly.

"To tell you the truth, Li Shilang, Hubu Shangshu is a well-received bachelor in Qin Wang's residence before His Majesty, and His Majesty is very pleased."

"Even His Majesty's favored ministers are old ministers from the old ministry, such as Wei Guogong, Lu Guogong and other generals who enlisted with the army. Don't look at the current Minister of the Household Department who is often criticized by His Majesty in the court, but he can do it in private. The Chinese cannot bear to commit one or two crimes."

"Thus, at the time of the collection of salaries and silver, although the report is notified to His Majesty, most of them are completely decided by the Minister of the Household Department."

Hey~
Li Xian has a headache!

At this moment, he already felt the authenticity of Xu Mao's previous words.

One level of official rank crushes people to death, let alone the Minister of the Household Department who is in the third rank!
It's not easy to be the servant of the firearms battalion!

"That would be a pity."

Li Xian glanced at the frowning Xu Mao from the corner of his eye, and slowly leaned back in the chair, looking desperate.

"It's all right now. I finally wanted to accomplish a major event today, but I have no rice to cook."

"Our firearms battalion mainly develops firearms, and the Thunderbolt is just one of the small ones. In the future, we will attack cities on the plains and destroy towering gates. It is suitable for more or less ranger warfare during expeditions. To. Furthermore, it will also be used in the future to destroy bridges and move mountains to chase and intercept."

"Hey, what a pity, what a pity!"

Out of the corner of the eye, an imperceptible look flashed in those calm eyes, then he frowned even tighter, and slightly raised his arms and arched them.

"Mr. Li is not familiar with these old officials, so he has subordinate officials to walk around and think of a way."
