please make me king

Chapter 1052 The Value of Wang Zheng

A few days later, when Wang Zheng came to Qin Wangfu to give lectures to Zhang Shun and his wives and concubines, he really brought his "wheel pot bell".

It's like a big wardrobe, with a clock on one side, a drum on the other side, and a small wooden figure of Chen on the top.

When the time came, the morning bell and evening drum would ring non-stop, which made Zhang Shun's wives very novel.

Only Zhang Shun was not satisfied, because there were only two pointers on it, the hour and minute hands, and the accuracy could not meet his satisfaction at all, so Wang Zheng also specially brought Zhang Shun a small hourglass.

Speaking of the hourglass, Zhang Shun thought it was the kind of glass ball with two large ends and a thin middle with fine sand sealed inside, which could reverse the time back and forth.

As a result, he did not expect that Wang Zheng would directly bring out two small barrels for him, one of which was a small barrel with a scale on the inner wall and a funnel.

Wang Zheng told him: "If the King of Qin wants to time the time, he can pour this bucket of fine sand into this bucket with scales. I have measured every scale, and it is exactly one minute."

"Is there no such kind of transparent glass products?" Zhang Shun couldn't help reminding him implicitly.

Wang Zheng couldn't help but turn dark when he heard the words, "Oh, that, that is called crystal leakage. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a craftsman made it and dedicated it to Ming Taizu, but he smashed it in the name of 'unique skills and obscenity'."

smashed?You bastard!

Zhang Shun couldn’t complain, old farmers are old farmers, if you don’t want to use it yourself, you can give it to me!

Forget it, those who go can't be persuaded, but those who come can still be chased!

Zhang Shun hurriedly invited Wang Zheng to the podium to teach him courtesy.

Seeing that Zhang Shun was so respectful, the other women didn't dare to be negligent, and all sat down to listen to the master's lecture with peace of mind.

That Wang Zheng stood on the stage, and saw Yingying and Yanyan in the audience, he couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: "I'll go to hear the name of King Qin's lust first, and I think it was arranged by a meddlesome person. Now it seems that what I said is wrong. False."

"The marriage established by our lord is monogamy, one man and one woman. It seems that I should advise him from time to time in the future!"

The lessons of the day were very simple. According to Zhang Shun's suggestion, Wang Zheng set up a literacy class, an arithmetic class and a Latino class.

It's just that these three simple courses are nothing to the girls who already have certain cultural knowledge.

Among them, the trio of Li Xiang, Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan, who are quite familiar with the rhythm, not only have a good cultural foundation, but also get started with Latino very quickly.

And Hong Niangzi and Jianer, who have been in charge of logistics all year round, are very good at arithmetic, and no one can match them.

As for the Zeng family, the Huang family, and the big and small Zhu, because they have all received good education, they can basically outshine the females as soon as they get started.

However, girls such as Li Sanniang, Gao Guiying, Ma Yingniang, and Wang Qiying, who are proficient in pen and ink, have a bit of difficulty learning.

The girls around him, Zhu'er, Baoqin, Shishu and Huamei, had no choice but to behave well while secretly helping them with their homework.

As for Zhang Shun, since the women are all studying, he had to sleep in the Palace of Mind.

In this regard, Wang Zheng wrote excitedly to his friend Tang Ruowang: "Qin Wang seems to be very interested in the theory of Western equipment, and asked me to teach him and his wives and concubines Latino."

"It's just that the king of Qin is lustful and has many wives and concubines. He has violated my lord's teachings and committed serious crimes. I don't know if he can be forgiven by my lord."

"In addition, please send me a telescope so that I can preach to King Qin and his wives and concubines."

After three or five days like this, after Wang Zheng finished his lecture to Zhang Shun and others, he came down from the stage to report: "King Qizuo has made five hundred Lumi blunderbusses, and all the blunderbuss knives have been made. Please also invite King Qin It’s time to send someone to check and accept it.”

"So fast?" Zhang Shun couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words.

"Thanks to Zhang Sigong's fine iron training!" Wang Zheng couldn't help but humbly said.

It turns out that Zhang Dudu, Zhang Daojun, was born in Yangcheng, Shanxi, and he has done a lot of research on steel smelting and casting, but when it comes to the application of mechanical tools and other tools in production, Wang Zheng is halfway.

This Wang Zheng had previously served as Liaohai Supervisor of the Army, and he assisted Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua to train troops, so he knew the secret.

So when he received Zhang Shun's order to manufacture the "Lumi gun", he designed a hydraulic machine tool overnight according to the principle of gear shifting, which was specially used for drilling the gun tube.

Originally, the method of manpower drilling and control was only one inch per day.

The barrel of the Lumi blunderbuss is four feet and five inches long. At this speed, it would take several skilled craftsmen forty-five days to drill out a qualified blunderbuss barrel.

After switching to the water conservancy machine tool designed by Wang Zheng, an ordinary craftsman can drill several gun barrels in a day, and the efficiency is not the same. Therefore, [-] "Lumi guns" were made for Zhang Shun in a short period of time.

"What's the price?" Zhang Shun couldn't help asking again after hearing the words.

"Due to the use of water conservancy machine tools, the cost of each rod is only seven renminbi, which is almost the same as the price of ordinary bird guns." Wang Zheng heard that he couldn't help but proudly said, "It is four cents and three cents cheaper per rod than the previous Lumi gun."

"However, because there are [-] or [-] water conservancy machine tools to be manufactured, it costs an additional two hundred and seventy-eight taels of silver."

"It's okay!" Zhang Shun, as a traveler, of course understood the truth that "a worker must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do a good job", so the two hundred and seventy-eight taels of silver were invested as fixed assets.

After Zhang Shun arranged the homework for the girls, he followed Wang Zheng to find Xu Quan to hand over the "Lumi Gun" and the gun knife.

Not long after these weapons were transported to the school grounds, all the soldiers who were being trained by Xu Quan to walk in the "queue" were all excited.

Which soldier does not practice swords and guns, and does not practice blunderbuss and artillery, but practice "turn left", "turn right" and "walk in unison" all day long?

Xu Quan was not polite to Wang Zheng either, seeing the "Lumi Gun" delivered, he picked one out himself, and after loading the ammunition, he aimed a shot at a target not far away.

After the deafening sound of gunfire and the pervasive gunpowder smoke cleared, Xu Quan went to the target to have a look. Although he didn't hit the red heart, he hit the target anyway.

"That's right!" Xu Quan nodded and said, "I'll let the soldiers try shooting one by one in a while, and please don't blame Director Wang!"

"Of course, is there any reason to blame?" Wang Zheng was quite confident in the Lumi blunderbuss he supervised, so he couldn't help nodding and laughing.

Not to mention that Xu Quan had arranged for soldiers early on over there, and they began to test shoot cracklingly.

That Zhang took a Lumi gun and a gun knife by the way, looked at Xu Quan with a smile and said, "Do you know how to play?"

"I also ask King Shun to enlighten me!" Xu Quan's recent military training methods are basically based on Zhang Shun's military methods, so he is quite convinced of Zhang Shun.

"Look out!" Zhang Shun held the gun in his left hand, with the muzzle slanted forward, and in his right hand he held the blunderbuss knife and turned the hilt back, saying, "I'll bring you an hourglass today. Later, you can calculate how far the infantry and cavalry charged. No matter how much time you need, you must order your soldiers to install gun knives before the enemy charges in front of you."

"If defending, use the spear method to form an formation, and use the blunderbuss as a spear; for charging, you need to practice blunderbuss skills, which are straight thrusts, left strikes, right strikes, and handle strikes!"

While explaining, Zhang Shun practiced: "I am not from a martial artist background, and the essentials of movements are not very standard. You can find someone who is good at spears and spears to perfect them."

"The method is nothing more than using projectiles for long-distance strikes, and gun knives for short-range strikes!"

"Understood, King Qin!" Xu Quan couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words, the more he thought about Zhang Shun's tactics, the more mysterious he felt.

Previously, he only said that since King Shun asked him to have more firearms and fewer white-bladed soldiers, he just regarded himself as an auxiliary soldier.

Now that I think about it carefully, this new type of firecracker battalion is capable of both long-range shooting and hand-to-hand combat, which seems to be no less than any elite soldiers at present.

But Wang Zheng understood it, and couldn't help being even more amazed: "King Qin's art of war is quite similar to the art of war in the far west. It's just that when he is far away, he hits with a blunderbuss, and when he is close, he uses a spear."

"Oh? How about the Art of War in the Far West?" Zhang Shun couldn't help asking after hearing the words.

"In the past, when I was training troops with the governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua, what was the method?" Wang Zheng couldn't help talking about it after hearing the words.

Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but said: "This Wang Zheng is a talent with both civil and military skills, unfortunately he is almost seventy years old, I have to empty out all his thoughts and learning, otherwise it would be a loss?"
