As the saying goes, after three years of military service, the sow turned into Diao Chan.

Liu Mingqi obviously did not have that hunger, but in the few days after returning home, he was still honestly creating human beings.

A conservative woman like Sister Shuang must not be willing to do so during the day.

But the remaining wives and concubines naturally obeyed Liu Mingqi and let him enjoy what the emperor-style service is.

This is different from the superficial enjoyment of the East Pavilion, and it is not of the same level at all.

So I just omitted 330,000 words and didn’t mention it.

Jing Hedi also felt that his two nephews had worked hard, so he allowed them to see him again in ten days.

Anyway, there is nothing urgent to deal with this trip.

The Che Shiguo, whose walls of Xicheng were burned, didn't even put a single fart.

As for the Tubo that is far away in the sky, let alone the third prince and the fifth prince are even making their brains. Even if they don’t fight, you, Tubo, are my hostile country, and I can’t kill you anymore?

Besides, all the big and small matters along the way include secret reports from the embroidered guards and diaries written by Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin. Jing and the Emperor did not need to know about them from their brothers, so they could understand them.

After Liu Mingqi felt comfortable for a few days, she was a little idle.

He followed Sister Shuang to the explosives laboratory during the day.

It wasn't enough to pester Wu Yeshuang last night. When he was in the carriage, he touched his feet, which made his sister Shuang pinched him several times.

However, when he got off the carriage, Liu Mingqi felt embarrassed to pester Wu Yeshuang.

Now in the capital, the luxurious horse-drawn carriage that was rare before was no longer a rare thing.

There are no less than a thousand people running in the inner and outer cities every day.

You read that right, that's all.

The rich and second-generation people in the capital have very high consumption capacity, second only to the core area of ​​Jiangnan.

In addition to the usual comparative mentality, you have it, why don’t I?

So even if it is very expensive, you have to buy one to install it.

But to be honest, the comfort of a luxury carriage is really not something you can do. If you get used to the smoothness and smoothness after sitting on it, you will not get used to the bumpy carriage you have before.

Especially those older ministers.

So the emperor also thoughtfully bought a luxurious horse carriage and gave it to them.

As for Jiangnan, let alone Jiangnan’s orders have exceeded 12,000 more!

The first batch of luxury horse-drawn carriages last year were only 2,738!

It is said that Jiangnan has been harmed by Japanese pirates, but look at their consumption capacity?

Still beat up everywhere!

In fact, if it weren't for the wrong time, Liu Mingqi would have planned to sell these carriages abroad.

For example, the rich and wealthy people in the Western Regions, such as the Western Qiang, Uighurs, Shiwei and other nouveau riche...even in Japan, Liu Mingqi wants to sell them to make money.

But now it is not time for Dakang to crush the world, our products cannot be as unobstructed as Great Britain and America, and our merchants cannot be respected and protected.

So I have to wait a little longer.

No hurry.

But there is a need to worry about improving gunpowder.

After these two skyscrapers, Wu Yeshuang told Liu Mingqi about the reef bombing at the Gate of Ghost.

It was still the policy of draining water and diverting rivers from the end of last year, and then it was burned with stored picric acid explosives before the Chinese New Year was over.

A set of prescriptions is originally very familiar, but the problem lies in the picric acid explosives.

Wu Yeshuang's explosives laboratory has been extracting picric acid explosives last year.

However, since Liu Mingqi added picric acid explosives to the black gunpowder, thus increasing the explosion power of the wooden grenade, Dakang's Ministry of War could no longer stop.

From last year to this year, 70% of picy acids have been used on wooden grenades.

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Jinghe had already stipulated that the picy acid explosive must be used at the Gate of Hell, and they would not have left even one hundred of them.

But in this way, there is not enough explosives at the Ghost Blasting Gate.

Although the oil is ten times more than before and it burns day and night, there is no fixed blast to damage the structure of the reef formed for millions of years. If you burn it just, it is not very powerful.

After three hard months, I only opened up almost three miles of Ghost Gate, which was only a little more than last year, and the depth was not deep enough last year.

The gate of hell is dozens of miles in a row!

I was originally planning to do ten miles this year, but now it’s embarrassing, it’s equivalent to being abandoned for half a year.

So the emperor was anxious, and the court officials were anxious.

In a hurry, they asked Wu Yeshuang if he could increase the production speed of picric acid explosives.

The person who came to ask was Sister Shuang’s father, Wu Yu, Secretary of the Ministry of Works.

Considering that there are more and more opportunities to use these powerful gunpowder in the future, Wu Yeshuang also agreed.

In the past two or three months, she has been adjusting and making new production lines, and has also cultivated more youths from the Youth Group to join the ranks of making picric acid explosives.

But this matter cannot be done in a moment.

From the beginning design to testing, to selection, and training young people, Wu Yeshuang eats everything in the laboratory.

After all, she was a little home girl before she got married, so she wouldn't feel bored.

But Wu Yeshuang still insisted on it, that was that the people from the Ministry of Works could not be allowed to intervene. This is the secret of the Dewang Mansion.

You can buy it and issue various tasks, but you can't know how to make picric acid explosives.

The emperor agreed.

He would not think about stealing his nephew's things, not to mention that Liu Mingqi and Wu Yeshuang both agreed to the court that anyone who gave this thing to the outside world would have to be allowed by the court.

...

Today, Wu Yeshuang brought Liu Mingqi to the scene. The latest modified picric acid explosives workshop.

This workshop is five hundred meters away from the Imperial City Yulin Guard Camp. Next to the Yulin Guard Camp is the wooden grenade workshop.

The new workshop uses a piece of open space, surrounded by open space, and there are no buildings to cover it, which is also convenient for defense and privacy.

The area has increased to about 1,000 square meters, divided into more than a dozen strictly separated courtyards, surrounded by mud, sand, iron walls, etc. If an accident occurs in a place, it will not affect other courtyards.

Liu Mingqi went to take a look first.

The original one-hop production separation line has changed from one to three.

In addition, the processing of raw materials is more detailed.

Monitoring of each production link, repeated and careful verification, etc. have increased manpower.

When we arrived at the finished product stage, the screening and polishing work became more and more careful, and more than a dozen girls were added to the work.

The final packaging process is much more rigorous than the previous pioneering stage.

More than a dozen youth groups are packaged in iron cans per kilogram, and there are protective measures to prevent collisions inside and outside.

Then there were several clerks who wrote numbers and tagged the iron jars.

Liu Mingqi took a bottle and saw that not only them, but all the staff in this process signed and stamped.

If you have any questions, you can come to these people directly.

This is the terms of modern assembly line work.

It used to be useful in soap workshops, sugar workshops, big white rabbit milk candy workshops, wooden handle grenade workshops, etc., but now it is used by Sister Frost in the explosives workshop.

"How much is the efficiency now?" Liu Mingqi asked Wu Yeshuang after making it from the workshop's production workshop.

"In the past, about 3,000 kilograms could be refined every day, but now it can be made 11,000 kilograms." Wu Yeshuang said, "But the court has told me that the wooden grenade should reach 50,000 kilograms a day, which is five times more than 50,000 kilograms a day! Liu Renhuai, the Governor of Jiangnan, also wrote to me, saying that they were preparing 100,000 kilograms a day."

"Tell them to dream!" Liu Mingqi said angrily: "My wife is busy here all day long and doesn't even have time to have children. Why just turn into a donkey?"

Sister Shuang gave the boy a blank look, but didn't say anything.

She thought to herself that when you were not here, am I still alone?

Besides, a guy like you is like a livestock when he is made. He has been struggling for so long and still has requests like this and that. I really don’t know where I learned it.

According to the dosages used by the court and Liu Renhuai, at least five times the current scale is enough.

But even if the raw materials are sufficient, the number of workers and equipment here are not enough.

Not to mention that the equipment often breaks down, and then it has to be replaced and repaired.

These are things that affect production efficiency.

Before mechanized assembly line work is implemented, the output cannot increase so much at once.

Sister Shuang naturally understands this principle.

However, she still said: "If this is needed, then a larger workshop must be built again. It is not very suitable in the imperial city. You can move to Fang Lei and the others. But at least it cannot be done well within a year."
