Great Tang princess

Chapter 677 Pen
Seeing that the princess sat down again, Pei Bishu hurriedly sent someone to make tea, and he himself sat on the side and listened.

Then Wang Gangdan explained his thoughts.

"It's just Your Highness, the cost of this method may be too high..."

"It's okay, let's talk about it first." Li Yuechen waved his hand.

Now is not the time to consider the cost at all. If it can be guaranteed to be launched in rainy and snowy weather, it is really a century-old invention.

After the princess said so, Wang Gangdan didn't have any worries, and immediately explained: "Your Highness, what you think is that the bullet casings are made of iron instead of paper."

"Iron shell?" Li Yuechen was taken aback, "Then how to ignite the gunpowder in the shell?"

Wang Gangdan got up and pointed to the design drawing on the table: "Your Highness, please look, as long as you install the flint here, and then let the trigger push an iron needle forward, the tip of the needle rubs against the flint, and sparks will be triggered."

Hearing this, Li Yuechen couldn't help but look up at him, good guy, isn't this just the design of the striker?
As expected of a top craftsman in the country, he could even come up with such a method.

But the question is, how do you ignite the gunpowder in the shell without a primer?

The reason why it is softer is because Li Yuechen knows that before an existing system reform, one must first consider what will happen to those who make a living on it in the future.

With that said, he got up and left the laboratory.

After listening to his explanation, Li Yuechen held the teacup and remained silent on the spot, digesting the shock in his heart.

Li Yuechen is a princess, not a landlord, so while reforming, they will also consider their lives.

At the end of May, while the weather is hot, the summer vacation that the children have been longing for is finally coming.

As if she had expected her question long ago, Wang Gangdan continued to explain: "Your Highness once said that the static electricity in the human body can ignite gunpowder, so the sparks rubbed out by this iron needle should also be able to do the same."

At the same time as the summer vacation was ushering in, Li Yuechen was not idle, but was excitedly showing off to his mother the latest invention of the Academy of Engineering - the fountain pen in Jixian Temple!
This thing is easy to say, after two revisions, it was finally finalized and became what it is now.

Moreover, Li Yuechen also thought that if the south can be developed, then there will be enough funds to form another navy in the southern waters.

"I have no objection to the dinner party, but it's not like I won't see you in the future..." Li Yuechen shook his head with a smile, "Speaking of which, where do you want to go the most?"

In fact, such a rapid development of firearms was also deliberately done by Li Yuechen.

Wu Zetian nodded: "Speaking of which, when is Chen'er going to completely reform the tax system?"

Li Yuechen was thinking that Li Longji was more talented in martial arts and music than in politics.

The most important thing is that just listening to his explanation, I feel that this method should be feasible.

Since I don't like to sit in the office, it's not bad to go to Jiaolong. If there is a war in the future, I can go to the battlefield to earn some military merits.

And the businessmen here will definitely have a sense of arrogance when facing them.

Having said that, she lightly blew on the teacup in her hand, "Of course, it's not impossible for me to become chaotic before I officially send troops."

"No rush, let's talk about it after the Tubo incident is over." Li Yuechen smiled slightly, "I think the new weapons will be mature by then, and if an accident happens, it can be dealt with."

Li Longji thought for a while: "If I choose by myself, I still want to go to Qingdao. There is the sea over there, and I like to go swimming..."

In this way, there is no need to worry about the coastline of the entire country, at least for the next two to three hundred years.

Judging from the information sent by the border in recent years, Tubo is now discussing whether to rectify or not.

Here, under the imperial power system, the common people live like human beings, but in Tubo, they are really pure slaves.

You must know that this is not much different from the future firearms. Except for the primer, it can basically be said to be a very mature idea.

On this basis, if there are still people who are disobedient, that is another matter.

Without force, as long as you have good virtue, you can easily be beaten to death.

But this year is a little different. In previous years, when the summer vacation is approaching, the children are very excited, but this year is a little different.

"Don't worry, Auntie, now the troops in Yizhou have adapted to the plateau climate, it's easy." Li Yuechen replied with a smile.

If she could live forever, she would not let guns develop so early, because she is invincible in the world and has the ability to guard a country by one person.

It should be said that he is worthy of being the emperor in the original history. Li Longji's popularity is the best among the children, and his organizational and execution skills are quite outstanding.

It is not enough just to have a strong combat power. To be truly strong, strong force is one of the indispensable basic conditions, but it is not the only one.

Now that firearms are about to appear, the development of weapons is almost here, and the rest is mainly based on the country's in-depth development strategy.

"What's the matter? Seeing that it's a holiday, you don't want to let it go?" Li Yuechen asked with a smile.

The wisdom of human beings is indeed not to be underestimated. If Wang Gangdan's vision can be realized, it will be equivalent to advancing the combat effectiveness of the national army by nearly 1000 years.

In fact, with the development of border commerce and trade, the impact on the slavery society was gradually deepened.

In this way, when this generation gets old, the system will almost completely change.

So let him stop being an officer, and stay in the Jiaolong Special Reconnaissance Battalion for a while, and then be a soldier for a few years.

Wang Gangdan was slightly taken aback, then turned his head to look at Pei Bishu: "Dean, what does Your Highness mean?"

So you have to be prepared in advance.

So in a sour state, while asking Wang Gangdan to study quickly and get the results as soon as possible, he went back to study the paper cup phone left by His Royal Highness last time.

But she also understands that such a change is tantamount to completely tearing her face apart, and if it is not done well, it will cause simultaneous rebellions everywhere.

After talking about the plan in this area, the mother and daughter talked about the people's livelihood again.

Hearing his explanation, Li Yuechen couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body!
Not to mention whether it will be possible or not, just saying this idea is enough to shock the world.

Today's gunpowder is already in the form of granules, not powder, so as long as the opening at the bottom of the shell is small enough, there is no need to worry about it being exposed.

"So, even if a war is about to break out in the next few years, it can be easily defeated?" Wu Zetian asked back, "With the artillery and grenades, I don't doubt it, but how to solve the altitude sickness?"

However, rectification is not an easy task, after all, it will involve the interests of many parties.

Whether it works or not, this is an extremely genius idea.

In the future, the treatment brought by all titles can only be a personal lifetime system, and cannot be inherited or hereditary.

……

After a long time, many people in Tubo will naturally feel unbalanced.

Now the land of the two lakes to the south is basically undeveloped. In Li Yuechen's view, it is a huge treasure.

Therefore, the focus of development should naturally be on the people's livelihood, and strengthen its own development in the depth of the country.

Li Yuechen smiled suddenly, put down his teacup, stood up slowly and said: "In the future, you will definitely be included in the history books!"

Although the aristocratic family has started to pay taxes in business, the tax system is still the same as before, and those with titles are still tax-free.

A craftsman has actually reached the point where he can leave his name in the history books, but he, the dean, is so miserable...

Utopia may be too big, at least it should be a beacon of the future world...

After he graduated, he said that he could no longer play with the children during the summer vacation, and he was going to the military area.

"Compared to Tubo, it's better to discuss the development of the south." Li Yuechen took a sip of tea while talking.

Wang Gangdan didn't know what she was thinking, so he asked tentatively, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

So if the current Tubo Zanpu is smart enough, even if he rectifies, he must take it slowly, otherwise he will take too long and he will collapse from the inside.

Those under the age of 30 shall be directly reformed.

Of course, if they don't accept it, they raise their troops to rebel... Anyway, the shotgun should be fully mature by then, so don't blame the bullets for not having eyes.

First of all, the solution to this problem should not be too simple and rude, because many heirs to titles have been like this since birth, and they have been lying flat for half their lives, so sudden changes are indeed unacceptable.

Now that a strong combat force is in place, the next step is to consider the country's internal revitalization strategy.

Only when worries about the future are resolved, can system reform be advanced.

Having said that, he picked up the bullet design drawing on the side again, and continued: "Your Highness, as long as a small hole is made in the middle of the bottom of the bullet case, it will ensure that the iron needle can wipe out the sparks and pierce through the small hole at the same time. Can't this ignite the gunpowder?"

……

Today's Wu Zetian has no doubts about her daughter's plan, anyway, just listen to her.

Li Yuechen agreed on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking: People who will look back at this period of history after a thousand years should recognize their mother's name as the Great Emperor.

Because in Li Yuechen's future plan, the country does not need to worry about war for at least a few hundred years in the future.

To be honest, at this moment, his heart was really sour.

It is said that I will not be an officer, but it is impossible to be a full-fledged soldier. After a few years, I will at least be a captain or a platoon leader.

In Jixian Temple, Li Yuechen was sitting on a chair, discussing with his mother about future ideas.

An average dip in ink can write six to ten characters, and the strokes are smooth and silky. After a little familiarity, the paper will not be scratched.

After all, it is certain that so many Tibetan businessmen will be jealous when they see their neighbors getting better and better.

On the last day of school, after Li Yuechen announced that get out of class was over, the children did not rush out like usual, but sat in place.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen shook his head violently, of course he was thinking about the real Lighthouse, not something like Yingjiang...

The barrel of the pen is made of wood, polished very round, and the front of the pen tip is roughened to prevent sweaty hands from slipping.

……

After all, reform is not about copying the house, it will leave enough funds for living.

"Auntie, I want to have dinner together." Li Longji replied, "It can be regarded as a gift from them..."

Li Yuechen who left the Engineering Academy couldn't help but looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

When the firing pin wipes out sparks and penetrates into the small hole, it will also completely block the small hole at the bottom of the cartridge case, so that a closed environment can be formed.

So he didn't raise any objections, he just said that he would ask himself to raise it when the time came, and if he failed, at least the pot wouldn't fall on his daughter.

"It means to let you go and do it! Come up with the results as soon as possible!" Pei Bishu replied angrily.

The solution is also very simple, there are still knight titles, recorded on the list.

Hearing that his aunt agreed, Li Longji just wanted to cheer, but he heard Li Yuechen continue to say: "But you are skilled in martial arts, and you like to play drums by yourself on weekdays, so you don't need to be an officer, go to Jiaolong."

Because the most organized young adult among the children, Li Longji is about to graduate.

Therefore, a strong civilization must have strong combat effectiveness and rich heritage and cultural connotations at the same time.

It helps the gunpowder to burn while preventing gas leakage, and pushes the bullet out with maximum energy.

Now that we have the ability, why not try to build a utopia that was once imagined in our hearts.

For a country, only powerful force can only make other countries fear, but not awe.

After fighting for more than 1000 years, people no longer need to worry about medical care, education, housing and other issues.

Li Longji has no objection to this. Whenever he has free time, he will go to the art troupe to play music with a group of musicians, or play football. He has a very rich after-school life, and he is a sunny boy.

Those who are over 30 years old can continue to enjoy the food seal treatment, but they cannot be hereditary and inherited, so that future generations can be trained in advance to be self-reliant.

In the past, Li Yuechen also envied those countries with good welfare benefits, so now it is better to let his country gradually develop in that direction.

Such thoughts gradually spread and spread, which will naturally cause certain instability within Tubo.

But she is still an individual after all, and she will still be a pile of dead bones after a hundred years, so she will find ways to improve technology and civilization, and at the same time carry out ideological education to make the country as a whole stronger.

This is the softer side.

Don't look at it as a shotgun, but with the development of technology, real firearms will appear sooner or later.

So the other children were a little sad, reluctant to let him leave.

"Don't worry, Auntie, at most two or three years, Tubo will not be able to hold on anymore, and will definitely send troops at that time. Even if you know you can't fight, you must fight!"

The south can grow a large amount of fruits and grains, which will play an important role in future economic development.

On the first day of June, the school is officially closed.

……

Li Yuechen's plan is to completely change the tax system, not just as simple as dividing the tax into the mu.

"Well, let's go to Qingdao." Li Yuechen nodded.

The key is to completely abolish the food feudal system, as well as the succession of titles and other issues.

The nib is naturally made of steel, and there is no obvious frustration when writing, and it is very silky.

Wu Zetian looked at the thousand-character text written by his daughter, and couldn't help laughing: "Your handwriting is unique since you were a child. I never thought it would be written with this pen. It's not a feeling..."

"Aniang, what do you think of this thing?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Well, the cost is lower than that of a writing brush, and it's easy to carry and durable...it's really good!" Wu Zetian nodded in affirmation.
