Chongzhen looked at Luo with a pair of expectant eyes and said, "I have an idea …"

"What do you think? Say it out … whatever it is, I will forgive you …" Emperor Chongzhen ordered with a bright eye and a full face of eagerness.
At this time, dozens of pairs of eyes at the court seemed to be in agreement, and they gathered at the same time to wait for Luo’s cultivation.
Kneeling in front of Chongzhen, Luo’s self-cultivation didn’t make everyone wait too long and quickly sort out the thoughts in their minds, and then answered in detail as much as possible. "Governor Wei repeatedly asked the court to allocate enough firearms to support the Tiger and Leopard Army, which shows that the Tiger and Leopard Army must have a very urgent demand for this batch of firearms and equipment."
"Since the imperial court can’t meet this request, even if we allocate enough silver to the Tiger and Leopard Army, the silver can’t be turned into firearms and equipment in a short time to help the Tiger and Leopard Army repel the Shaanxi rebels and the Mongolian army …"
Chongzhen nodded thoughtfully and answered, "Luo Aiqing said that silver can inspire the morale, but I also know that no amount of silver can be turned into firearms and equipment when we really get to the battlefield."
Speaking of which, Chongzhen (turn) directly asked Luo Aiqing if there is any specific solution … The Tiger and Leopard Army was attacked by Shaanxi rebels and Mongolian troops in such a difficult situation. If the court does not support the Tiger and Leopard Army, I am worried that the Governor-General, Commander-in-Chief, Tiger and Leopard Military Law will block two armies …
"At that time, not only Shanxi will face the risk of being occupied by Shaanxi rebels and Mongolian troops, but even our capital will once again fall into a military disaster …"
Didn’t disappoint Emperor Chongzhen. Luo Yang gave Chongzhen a positive answer directly.
"I really have a solution here …"
"My idea is that since we allocate firearms and equipment to the Tiger and Leopard Army, why don’t we transfer people to the Tiger and Leopard Army … never transfer some firearms craftsmen to Datong directly to build firearms for the Tiger and Leopard Army."
"As far as I know … there is no shortage of iron ore and coal mines in the Tiger and Leopard Army in Shanxi … There is still a very important reason for the lack of firearms and equipment in the Tiger and Leopard Army …"
"If the imperial court allocates some craftsmen to the Tiger and Leopard Army with sufficient raw materials in the past, these craftsmen can build firearms and equipment in a short time to protect Shanxi from foreign invasion and protect the capital …"
"In addition, allocating a group of craftsmen in the past can not only solve the urgent needs of the Tiger and Leopard Army, but also the court doesn’t need to spend two silver. In addition, I also heard that ten thousand craftsmen have been idle because of the shortage of classics and raw materials, so it is better to send them to the Tiger and Leopard Army for free all day long …"
"This will also reduce the pressure on the Ministry of War to raise these craftsmen to a certain extent."
In the eyes of these court officials, those lowly craftsmen are the lowest-ranking untouchables, and these untouchables are now idle, and the Ministry of War has not paid them according to the system …
However, even if they are given food that is not hungry every day, tens of thousands of craftsmen and their families will eat almost two thousand pieces of silver in a month.
Of course, some people have tried to leave these craftsmen alone.
However, this opinion was rejected by the cabinet as soon as it came out. You know, this is not a few hundred people, but tens of thousands of people … More importantly, these tens of thousands of people still live in Beijing
Once the imperial court cornered the ten thousand people, I dare not imagine what kind of chaos these tens of thousands of hungry craftsmen would make in Beijing.
Even though it is known that these craftsmen are idle, the court will give them rations to prevent them from unrest.
However, with the passage of time, these craftsmen have become a thorn in the imperial court, and they have long wanted to pull it out.
In particular, the Ministry of War has long wanted to drive this group of craftsmen out of Beijing and let them fend for themselves.
You know, the amount of silver allocated by the imperial court to the Ministry of War every month is limited, and no official wants to give it to the lowly craftsmen.
After the Locke raises a gender, the eyes of the Ministry of War are still bright, and the heart is quickly active
Once these craftsmen are transferred from the capital, they will be transferred by half … The Ministry of War can also lose 52,000 silver a month, and 5,000 vehicles a year will be 62,000. Even if they take 50% of them, it will be 32,000 silver …
Think of glistening eyes flashing the Ministry of War is still directly open support way "positions veteran support Locke’s adult opinion … There are these craftsmen in the capital to waste the court’s salary, it is better to allocate to the tiger and leopard army …"
The Ministry of War has just finished saying that a few military commanders who work for the Ministry of War can benefit from it, as if they had discussed it, and at the same time, they ranked against Chongzhen’s big support way
"The courtiers also supported Lord Luo’s opinion on strengthening the strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army. The court should immediately allocate enough craftsmen to Datong to build firearms and equipment for the Tiger and Leopard Army to resist foreign enemies …"
Chapter two hundred and ninety-seven Animals are inferior to animals.
Chongzhen’s eyes are so small that there is no intention of rebellion at present.
Chongzhen can promise anything if you don’t let yourself pay.
The courtiers looked at the two cleaners and quickly flashed out of Chongzhen’s eyes and then asked the Ministry of War Shang
"Ai-qing wang … you said how many craftsmen to allocate to butch army is appropriate …"
Of course, Wang Zhongtang, the minister of war, hopes that the more he transfers, the better, because the more craftsmen he transfers, the more money he will fall into his pocket in the future.
However, Wang Zhongtang, a veteran of officialdom, knew exactly what was going on and what was going on. Before Wei Zheng, Emperor Chongzhen had a clear position in his heart. Before him, Emperor Chongzhen was worried about Shaanxi rebels and Mongolian troops.
Emperor Chongzhen watched the face of the Ministry of War Shang Wang Zhongtang flash across quickly. It was interesting that no one wiped his face with a sly smile and then answered thoughtfully.
"There are more than eleven thousand craftsmen in the capital of the Ministry of War. We can allocate six thousand craftsmen and their families to the Tiger and Leopard Army, and the remaining five thousand craftsmen will stay in the capital to continue to build firearms …"
Chongzhen didn’t answer the horse, but frowned and asked, "How many muskets can six thousand craftsmen build in a month with sufficient raw materials …"
You know, the imperial court didn’t have as many methods and unique assembly lines as the Tiger and Leopard Army. All firearms were handmade by craftsmen. In the eyes of the Ministry of War, it took a skilled craftsman less than half a month to build a qualified musket.
When Chongzhen looked at the Ministry of War, he replied without thinking, "There are plenty of raw materials and there is no waste. Six thousand skilled craftsmen can build up to twelve thousand muskets in one month … but there are still many artillery craftsmen among these six thousand people who can build ten thousand muskets in one month after removing these people …"
Chongzhen shook his head and answered, "Only 10,000 muskets are too few … Governor Wei Junbao said that there are still 30,000 muskets in the Tiger and Leopard Army. According to this building speed, it will take three months … But the Tiger and Leopard Army has been equipped with muskets. Can more than 10,000 people stop the joint attack of Shaanxi rebels and Mongolian ancient troops?"
After Chongzhen finished, the courtiers became quiet again.
Because no one dares to make this guarantee in front of Chongzhen, you must know that once your guarantee fails, it will be deceiving you.
At this time, Chongzhen spoke, "Since 6,000 craftsmen are insufficient to build 30,000 muskets in a short time, then allocate more than 10,000 craftsmen to the Tiger and Leopard Army …"
"Let’s leave 5,000 craftsmen in Beijing to do things. It’s better to transfer them to the Tiger and Leopard Army … If the Beijing camp needs firearms, just transfer them directly from the Tiger and Leopard Army."
"In this way, the imperial court not only saved more than 10 thousand craftsmen’s wages, but also saved a lot of raw materials needed by craftsmen to build fires."
