Daming: At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang simulated the National Games

Walking into the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Gaoxu arrived at the small courtyard where he was yesterday.

From the small courtyard, Zhu Gaoxu saw Yan Zhenzhi sitting in the house.

Yan Zhenzhi obviously also saw Zhu Gaoxu and quickly stood up and walked out to greet him.

"His Royal Highness the County Prince makes atonement for his sins. I apologize for not being able to welcome you from far away."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"I also just went to see Grandpa Huang, and wanted to see how the Ming Dynasty guns are doing."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Yan Zhenzhi seemed a little excited.

Apparently he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had been paying attention to this matter, which made him feel the emperor's attention.

Not daring to delay at the moment, Yan Zhenzhi said directly to Zhu Gaoxu: "Those craftsmen are at the Ordnance Bureau at the moment. You come with me."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and then followed Yan Zhenzhi out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. Two small sedans had been carried at the door. After Yan Zhenzhi and Zhu Gaoxu sat on them, they got up and set off.

This was Zhu Gaoxu's first time making a sedan chair. The person carrying the sedan chair was quite stable, but Zhu Gaoxu fell asleep unknowingly as he was swaying along the way.

When Zhu Gaoxu woke up again, he had already arrived, and Yan Zhenzhi was waiting for him outside the sedan.

"His Royal Highness the County Prince is troubled. The manufacturing of firearms is a secret, and now what we are making is even more secret among secrets, so I moved the place out."

As he spoke, Yan Zhen pointed directly at the large courtyard in front of him.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu discovered that there were many government officials outside the courtyard who were on guard to prevent others from approaching the place.

Grinning, Zhu Gaoxu finally knew why Lao Zhu was looking for him.

The commotion caused by Yan Zhenzhi is not small. The key is that Lao Zhuhao doesn’t know why. Who should he look for instead of him?

Being able to arrest Yan Zhen straight away and question him before he even came up was enough to give him face, even if Lao Zhu was calm enough.

With a forced laugh, Zhu Gaoxu reluctantly encouraged: "Ah... not bad, not bad."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's encouragement, Yan Zhenzhi obviously took it seriously. He puffed up his chest and walked in with Zhu Gaoxu.

As soon as I entered, I saw that many of the houses inside had large chimneys exposed, and many of them were still emitting thick smoke.

There were many people walking around in the courtyard, people moving things and people picking up tools, making it very lively.

When these people saw Yan Zhenzhi, they didn't even salute. At most, they just nodded.

Yan Zhenzhi didn't care about this, but brought Zhu Gaoxu to a large warehouse with ease.

Yan Zhenzhi didn't hesitate, opened the door and walked in.

As soon as Yan Zhenzhi opened the door, Zhu Gaoxu felt a wave of heat coming over him.

Then he also saw the scene inside.

Dozens of craftsmen were walking around shirtless, some holding irons and others carrying craftsmen, each doing their own thing.

After glancing back and forth, Zhu Gaoxu saw Yang Yan and others standing in one corner, blushing and arguing about something.

Zhu Gaoxu walked up and heard that they were arguing about the manufacturing method of Ming dynasty guns.

And with the arrival of Zhu Gaoxu, it has stopped temporarily.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness, are you here to see the progress of the Ming Dynasty gun manufacturing?"

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu didn't come to see the progress. He just gave it to them yesterday to see what progress could be made today. He just thought of some methods yesterday and asked these experienced craftsmen to give their opinions on whether they could solve the problem of mass production.

Thinking like this, Zhu Gaoxu said directly: "After I went back yesterday, I suddenly thought of a method that might be able to solve the problem of mass production of Ming guns. I am young and don't know if this method is feasible, so I came to ask all the masters first.

"

After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, none of them showed much interest.

Nothing else. They have been making firearms for decades and there is nothing they can do. What can this little kid Zhu Gaoxu do?

However, considering Zhu Gaoxu's identity, several people asked Zhu Gaoxu to speak first and then let them listen.

Zhu Gaoxu was not angry at the slights given by a few people. He knew very well what they were thinking. He just had to pull them out to see if they had anything.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu was not ambiguous and said directly: "We can first build a standard Ming dynasty gun."

"The parts and the gun body are all carefully polished. Then we are building a mold for it. To put it bluntly, it is a box. Can we just make it according to the shape of the mold?"

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Yang Yan and others' eyes lit up.

Several people secretly thought about what Zhu Gaoxu said, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt it was possible to realize it.

Looking at the expressions of several people, Zhu Gaoxu roughly knew that it was feasible at this time. He only had a rough idea. These craftsmen must know the specific operations better than him.

The ideas of the ancients were mostly fixed, and they would learn whatever their masters taught them. No matter how good their craftsmanship was, it would still be what their masters taught them, and they would not innovate.

Seeing that several people were silent, Zhu Gaoxu interrupted their thoughts with a light cough.

Wait for him to think about this kind of thing slowly after he leaves. He finally came here and it's so hot here, so he hastily asked about the things and left quickly.

Although they were a little annoyed that Zhu Gaoxu interrupted their train of thought, several of them did not dare to get angry and turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu.
