Bureau of Ordnance.

Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao walked in calmly without disturbing anyone.

Because of the astonishing changes in the Ordnance Bureau, Zhu Di decided to come and inspect it in person.

Regarding the Northern Expedition planned for next spring, he could not be too careful.

But then he remembered that his second son was tormenting Zhao Yi and other officials from the Ministry of Industry, and Zhu Di hesitated again.

At this time, the young master Yao Guangxiao entered the palace to discuss the matter of moving the capital with the emperor. Zhu Di subconsciously asked the black-dressed prime minister for his opinion.

Yao Guangxiao was a little surprised when he first heard about the changes in the Ordnance Bureau.

Assembly line operations have increased production efficiency more than ten times, and this is only a preliminary reform.

As a prime minister in black who is familiar with military matters, Yao Guangxiao knows very well what it means to significantly increase the efficiency of weapons and baggage production.

But he was even more curious about the amazing talent who promoted the reform of the Arms Bureau.

But what he didn't expect was that this "amazing talent" was none other than Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han!

King of Han Zhu Gaoxu!

As soon as Yao Guangxiao thought of what he saw that day, his heart immediately lifted.

How could this Prince of Han suddenly become an emperor when he was obviously rich and powerful?

Thinking about it, the curiosity in his heart became more intense, and he simply offered to come to the Arms Bureau for inspection.

So the two of them went on a trip without disturbing anyone.

Even the guards at the entrance of the Ordnance Bureau were stopped from saluting in time when they saw him.

Zhu Di really wanted to see what his second son was capable of causing such a big fuss.

When he walked into the Ordnance Bureau compound and saw no one, Zhu Di immediately became angry.

The official is gone, the craftsman is gone, what is this guy doing?

At this moment, Zhao Yi exclaimed, and there were noisy discussions in the distance.

The two of them followed the sound and came to the woodworking workshop.

I saw all the craftsmen and officials gathered together and talking with joy, as if something great had happened.

When many officials from the periphery saw the emperor coming, they immediately stopped their voices and anxiously wanted to kneel down to salute, but Zhu Di waved his hand to stop him.

He followed his gaze and couldn't help but feel happy for a moment.

I saw that the famous carpenter was pedaling like crazy, while my second son was sitting in front of the strange instrument, holding a wooden bar in his hand and working on it.

Zhu Gaoxu was already tall and burly, but he looked like a brown bear sitting in front of that strange instrument, yet he had to bow forward and bend over, which made his movements very ridiculous.

What the hell is this guy doing all day long?

Yao Guangxiao was observing carefully from the side, his eyes flashing from time to time.

He was proficient in various schools of thought and was also involved in the Mohist art of organization.

Mozi, the founder of the Mohist school, was good at craftsmanship and production. He was superior to other scholars in military technology and could be said to be erudite and versatile.

He used the principle of leverage to develop oranges, which were used to lift water; he also made windlass, pulleys, etc., for production and military use; he was also good at city defense technology...

Yao Guangxiao once studied the book "Mozi" with great concentration, and was amazed by the magical mechanism in it.

But now, he is convinced that even the Mohist organ skills he knows may not be able to create this mysterious device in front of him!

At this moment, the piece of wood in Prince Han's hand had been processed. Before he could take a closer look, he heard a familiar voice.

"Second brother, bring it to me to see."

The tone was full of domineering and unquestionable.

Huh? Why is the old man here?

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and glanced at him. He ignored the emperor's order and instead looked at the round and straight rod in his hand.

Everyone was silent when they saw this, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Prince Han in their hearts.

Your Majesty, if you dare to ignore his orders now, you are the only one in the world, right?

Seeing that he ignored her at all, Zhu Di suddenly lost his composure and angrily stepped forward and grabbed the round pole.

Zhu Gaoxu: "???"

Your mother!

You, the emperor, are so idle!

If you leave the government affairs unhandled, I will feel disgusted all day long?

Zhu Di looked at the round rod in his hand carefully, and after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason.

However, Yao Guangxiao reminded him in time: "Your Majesty, if I guess correctly, this should be the arrow shaft!"

"This is...an arrow shaft? How is this possible?" Zhu Di lost his voice, unable to hide his shock.

Everyone knows that arrow shafts are more difficult to produce than arrow tips, which seriously slows down the production of sharp arrows!

After all, just by checking whether the arrow shaft is straight or not, you can judge the quality of this batch of sharp arrows.

A perfectly straight arrow is the best arrow in the army and can change the outcome of a battle.

But now, the arrow shaft in Zhu Di's hand did not have the slightest bend from beginning to end, but was incredibly straight.

The most shocking thing is that this round pole is not only straight and smooth, but also incredibly fast!

"Second Brother, this equipment... was made by you?"

Zhu Di swallowed in shock and asked slowly.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled when he heard this and replied angrily: "It wasn't my son who did it, it was Old Liu Tou and Old Song Tou who did it."

son?

father?

Who is the father of Prince Han?

Today, the Ming Emperor!

All the craftsmen were so frightened that they all knelt down, and Zhao Yi and others also knelt down.

Zhu Di waved his hand, motioning for everyone to level up.

"Who are Lao Liu and Lao Song?"

After hearing this, Old Liu and Old Song were so frightened that they fell to their knees with a thud.

They were familiar with Prince Han's temper and dared to make jokes with him, but this was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!

"The common man Liu Bian (Song Zhong) comes to see the emperor!"

Everyone: "???"

What?

Bullwhip?

Ending?

This is the name...

So casual?

Zhu Di was a little dumbfounded. After taking a look at Zhu Gaoxu, who was also surprised, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Ahem, you two talented men, can this device be mass-produced? How many arrows can it produce?"

Zhu Di asked the question he was most concerned about, and everyone looked at these two "great talents".

Old Liu Tou was a little nervous, stroking his beard and replied: "Your Majesty, we made this device based on the drawings provided by His Highness the King of Han. All the problems have been overcome and it is completely ready for mass production!"

Everyone was overjoyed to hear the good news.

Song Zhong then replied: "Your Majesty, according to our experiments, one machine with three craftsmen can produce one hundred and twenty arrow shafts in just one hour!"

"In the future, when the craftsmen are skilled in operation, the efficiency will continue to improve. Two hundred is not a dream..."

Numb!

Completely numb!

Zhu Di's body began to tremble, and he glanced at the triumphant Zhu Gaoxu, then felt his eyes darken.

"Second brother, come and help me, I feel a little dizzy..."

"Dad, when people say efficiency can be improved, it doesn't mean that your blood pressure is high, dad!"

"What do you mean it's high? Can it be improved?"

Zhu Di was shocked and almost fainted.

Everyone was so anxious that they hurriedly called the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Yao Guangxiao stared at Prince Han with dumbfounded eyes, and the curiosity in his eyes became more intense.

The recent changes in the Ming Dynasty are inseparable from His Highness the King of Han!
