After returning from attending the celebration, Ortai and Gamintu had arrived from Shanghai and were waiting in Liuchun Garden.

Yinzhen met Gamintu alone in the study. After a brief greeting, he got to the point, "Zhang Xiang had already set off for Beijing five days ago. The emperor is currently strongly supporting us. When you two enter Beijing, there must be many officials coming to do their jobs without paying attention. Just do your job well. The emperor is now in full swing in spring and autumn. Pay more attention to talents with lower grades, outstanding morals and talents, and strive for reserves, and do not rush for a while." [.]

Hearing Yinzhen's clear proposal to fight for the crown prince, Gamintu was also very excited, and he replied respectfully: "I am honest and obey the prince's order."

"I have already told Zhang Xiang about the case of Zhang Yuanlong colluding with Gali to resell rice and the case of pirate Zheng Jinxin robbing sea merchants. I can report it truthfully. The emperor has his own conclusion and will not make things difficult for you."

"The prince is so thoughtful, and he is grateful for his humble position." Gamintu said gratefully.

Yinzhen was very interested in Ortai, who came in next. Xilin Jueluo Ortai was a capable general under the Fourth Brother in history. He was not only talented but also honest. It seemed that his family had several governors, and he was also the Minister of Military Affairs.

As soon as Ortai entered the study, he knelt down and gave a real kneeling ceremony, "Slave Ortai greeted the Fourteenth Master, and the Fourteenth Master Jin An."

When he got up, Yinzhen looked at him carefully. Ortai was about thirty years old, with a tall figure, a slightly long cheek, and a bright eyes. He looked very energetic. He heard that he was a second-class guard, but Yinzhen had no impression of him. Kangxi asked him to take over the Qinhuai River pilot, which should be because he was interested in his talents and integrity.

Ortai was a little nervous at this time. He had been very unhappy since he inherited the position of the master and served as a guard in the 37th year of Kangxi. He had only reached the second-class guard for more than ten years. Although he was a fourth-class guard, he was not as good as a dog in the capital. He was walking all over the ground. No second-class guard like him who had no real power was nothing.

This time, Kangxi selected him to take over the Qinhuai River pilot. For him, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He rushed to Jiangning with great speed. When he was delivering his errands, he realized that the pilot was actually the work of the 14th Prince, and his heart immediately became alive.

Who doesn't know that the 14th Prince's independence and the 14th Party in the capital is now known? Kangxi is also celebrating the 14th Party's strong support. I wonder how many officials are trying to squeeze in and take a ride. Now this ready-made opportunity is in front of him. How can he not be moved? He decided to go to Shanghai and take the opportunity to ask for an errand to explore the 14th Prince's tone. He is a fourth-rank official with a sesame sesame sesame, but he still doesn't know whether the 14th Prince will look at it or not? He was really nervous.

Seeing Yinzhen looking at him up and down, Ortai said calmly: "Report to the Fourteenth Master, I have taken over the Qinhuai River pilot errands from Master Ga. However, I am the first time I went to Beijing to handle the job. I have no experience and am afraid that I will miss the job. I will ask the Fourteenth Master for advice."

Yinzhen took back his eyes. Ortai was ordered to do the job. In theory, there was no need for Baba to come from Jiangning to ask for instructions. It was nothing more than wanting to get on his own ship. He knew this little thoughts again. Since he was a talent, he was naturally willing to recruit him. He said warmly: "The job is very simple, mainly to establish one's own integrity. Although the Qinhuai River pilot is small, it is directly related to the reform of industrial and commercial taxes. You should not be despised. You have just taken over, you should read more, ask more, and think more. The key is to grasp the tax rate. First, you can understand the brothel industry thoroughly, and then you can contact other industries more. Industrial and commercial taxes are a big article, and it cannot be achieved overnight in a short period of time. What you need is talents who are good at practicing and good at economics. If you have any questions or puzzles, you can come to my hometown to ask."

When he heard this, Ortai was very excited. The Fourteenth Master not only agreed to get on the boat, but also had high hopes for himself. After so many years, he finally saw the hope of making a comeback. How could he not be happy? He forced himself to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, kowtowed steadily, and then stood up and said, "Slave Ortai Ding is a good person, work diligently to live up to the love of the Fourteenth Master."

At the firearm factory, Yinzhen, accompanied by the general manager Hu Zhiguo, watched the process of making the barrel from beginning to end. The craftsmen first beat the refined cooked iron into thin iron plates, then wrapped it on an iron rod and forged it repeatedly, and then burned it again. After it was repeated many times, a barrel could be completed.

The most unacceptable thing that Yinzhen could accept was a barrel. They were divided into three sections and then welded with white copper. In addition, he also noticed that all the craftsmen were basically versatile, from iron sheets to the completion of the barrel. After pondering for a while, he asked, "What is the thickness of the barrel wall?"

Hu Zhiguo was asked by Yinzhen from the Ministry of Works and has always been responsible for the production of firearms. He was very familiar with these data and hurriedly bowed and replied: "When I go back to Prince Xu, it is usually one inch."

Yi Centimeter? Yinzhen calculated silently. Kangxi made a foot and a foot was 32 cm, and an inch was only 3.2 mm. He meditated on what he remembered. After a long time, he could only remember some vaguely. After pondering for a while, he said: "You try another batch and see, set the thickness of the barrel to about one and a half inches and a diameter of four inches, and the length of the barrel is four feet."

While Hu Zhiguo respectfully called him, he recorded it while others were recording it.

Yinzhen then ordered: "The barrel process must be improved and must be forged and formed as a whole. The welding is too easy to explode, so the soldiers cannot be afraid of the musket. In addition, you can try division of labor and cooperation."

Division of labor and cooperation? Hu Zhiguo was stunned and didn't understand what it meant. He couldn't help but look at Yinzhen in confusion.

Yinzhen thought for a while before he said concisely: "It is to let the craftsmen be responsible for one link so that they can achieve the point where practice makes perfect. Do you understand?"

Hu Zhiguo immediately understood and then realized the benefits of doing so. "The prince means that the iron plate is responsible for making iron plates, and the person forging the barrel is only responsible for making the barrel. The prince is really broad-minded, and in this way, he will definitely achieve twice the result with all his strength."

Yinzhen glanced at him with admiration. This guy had a good understanding ability. He couldn't help but smile and encouraged, "Yes, I understand it very well, that's what it means. Management is a big question, pay more attention, pay more attention, and pay attention everywhere. I will learn more and more. My factory will be bigger and bigger in the future. What I want is talents with real talents."

Hu Zhiguo didn't expect that a sentence would be exchanged for Yinzhen's praise and encouragement. His face turned red with excitement and he hurriedly bowed and said, "The praise from the prince is really shameful. He must be honest and diligent in his work, so as not to let down the prince's high expectations."

"Yeah." Yinzhen nodded in praise and said, "Fireware is a powerful weapon of the country. The quality must be guaranteed. If you formulate a system, I must have a number on each gun. Once there is a blow-off phenomenon, it must be able to be investigated according to the number. In addition, division of labor and cooperation must strive for excellence in size and there cannot be any errors. Otherwise, the products produced by division of labor and cooperation can only be defective. I suggest that people make a standard example in each link, distribute it to each craftsman, make products according to standard examples, and send special personnel to inspect and accept them every day, so as to ensure the quality of the product."
