I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 316 The Experiment Was a Great Success
Counting from the day Jiajing moved into Ganlu Palace, today is the fifth day.

But in the past few days, nothing major happened in the court, so it was rare for Jiajing to relax.

After getting along day and night in the past few days, the understanding between Jiajing and Shen has become more and more tacit, and sometimes they can understand each other's thoughts without even talking.

In the early morning, in order not to wake Shen Shi who was sleeping soundly, Jiajing tiptoedly lifted the quilt and got up from the bed. Even though Jiajing was very careful, Shen Shi still inevitably woke up from sleep.

Immediately, I saw Shen rubbing her eyes, looking sleepy, turning her gaze to Jiajing, and then asked.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing today?"

Hearing this, Jiajing nodded and responded like this.

"That's right, I'm going to the Weapons Department today. It is said that they have made new breakthroughs!"

"You can sleep a little longer."

Sensing the concern contained in Jiajing's tone, Shen blushed and whispered softly.

"Ah."

Seeing this, Jiajing turned back, kissed Shen's smooth forehead, and then opened the door to leave.

After Jiajing left, Shen wrapped herself in the quilt and kept rolling on the bed.

Outside the room, Lu Fang had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the emperor coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully.

"His Majesty!"

Jiajing looked away from Lu Fang, and immediately asked.

"By the way, Lu Fang, did you get any specific information from the Weapons Department?"

Facing Jiajing's inquiry, Lu Fang shook her head and responded.

"Report to Your Majesty, the news from the Weapons Department is only a short sentence, the experiment was a great success!"

"The servants don't know the specific news."

Jiajing seemed to have expected Lu Fang's answer, and there was no disappointment on his face, so he spoke immediately.

"It seems that we have to go to the Weapons Department to see the specific situation today."

Afterwards, Jiajing seemed to suddenly remember, and immediately ordered.

"By the way, call Yan Song and Xu Jie together. They have been staying at home for four or five days. It's time for them to come out to accompany me!"

"Of order, Your Majesty, this servant will send someone to inform Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge!"

After listening to Jiajing's order, Lu Fang immediately responded.

……

Capital, Yan Mansion.

Yan Song never went out since the last time he voluntarily asked Jiajing for a seven-day confinement!
In addition, Yan Shifan is currently in charge of matters related to the imperial examination, and there is no one in Yan's mansion who can speak.

After Yan Song finished handling the corresponding affairs, apart from reading, he often sat in the room in a daze.

Yan Song suddenly misses Yan Shifan a little bit, the days when he was still at home, although Yan Shifan acted recklessly and a little recklessly, he was still able to talk to him.

When he was bored, Yan Song began to observe the ants on the ground.

At this moment, only hearing a knock on the door outside, Yan Song frowned unobtrusively, and immediately spoke.

"Come in!"

Afterwards, there was only a 'squeak', and the door of the room was pushed open by the servant.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip.

"Old Yan Ge, someone came from the palace, saying that His Majesty asked you to come over!"

Hearing these words, Yan Song became energetic in an instant, and said in a deep voice.

"I'll be there right now!"

"Yes, Mr. Yan Ge!"

The moment Yan Song walked out of Yan Mansion with the support of his servants and got into the sedan chair, he felt very keenly that the former self had returned!
……

"My ministers and others meet your majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

Jiajing looked at Yan Song and Xu Jie who were kneeling in front of him, a smile could not help flashing across his face, he waved his hands quite casually, and said so.

"Well, you two, get up!"

After receiving Jiajing's consent, Yan Song and Xu Jie got up from the ground one after another, their faces full of respect.

Jiajing then withdrew his gaze and asked lightly.

"Do you know why I asked you two to come here today?"

Hearing this, Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at each other and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, please speak clearly!"

Jiajing was in high spirits today, and immediately explained to the two of them.

"I asked you two to come here today, because I want you to accompany me to the Weapons Department!"

"Weapon Division! Could it be..."

After listening to Jiajing's explanation, Yan Song and Xu Jie said with expressions of surprise on their faces.

"Well, that's right."

"Not long ago, news came from the Weapons Department that the experiment was a great success!"

Jiajing took a panoramic view of the expressions on Yan Song and Xu Jie's faces, and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, with such weapons, my Ming will be invincible in the world!"

Yan Song was the first to react, and saw him knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', congratulating Jiajing.

Xu Jie at the side, after cursing the old fox inwardly, knelt down on the ground and congratulated Jiajing together.

Afterwards, Jiajing waved his hand and ordered so.

"Okay, okay, let's all get up! I haven't seen the real thing yet, so why did I congratulate you?"

"Let's go, accompany me to have a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Yan Song and Xu Jie quickly got up from the ground, followed Jiajing's pace, and marched towards the Weapons Division together.

……

At this moment, Yi Bin was extremely busy in the Weapons Department, and he kept calling out to the craftsmen under his command, saying so.

"You guys, go and prepare all the materials for the experiment, His Majesty will be here soon!"

"Also, how is the calibration of the new cannon going? There is no problem, that's good!"

"Where is the firecracker, how are the preparations for the firecracker?"

Under the order of Yi Bin, the head of the weapons department, the craftsmen in the weapons department got busy in an orderly manner, and soon, everything was ready.

At this moment, I saw my subordinates rushing into the weapons department to report.

"My lord, His Majesty is almost here!"

"Well, I understand, you guys, come with me, and go to greet Shengjia together!"

After Yi Bin learned the news from his subordinates, he nodded and ordered.

When Jiajing and his party came to the Weapons Department, Yi Bin just rushed to greet them with several craftsmen and subordinates.

"My minister is late to greet you, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me!"

Yi Bin came to Jiajing's side, knelt down on the ground, and said in a deep voice.

Jiajing looked away from Yi Bin, and immediately gave instructions.

"Forget it, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the emperor did not intend to pursue this matter, Yi Bin couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly thanked him.

"Okay, didn't you say before that the experiment was a great success, take me in and have a look!"

"Your Majesty, this way please!"

Soon, under the leadership of Yi Bin, everyone entered the weapons department.

While leading the way, Yi Bin also introduced the surrounding things to everyone like a few treasures.

"Here is the new cannon developed by the Ordnance Department. It has been calibrated, and its power and range have been significantly improved compared to before, more than doubled."

"Currently, a new type of cannon like this can already be mass-produced!"

"In addition, some progress has been made in the firecracker. This is the latest firecracker developed by the Weapons Department. Due to the use of black powder, its power and range have been greatly improved compared to before!"

"Currently, the Ordnance Division is considering how to increase its loading speed."

Jiajing was very satisfied with the current progress made by the Weapons Department, and kept nodding.

Finally, everyone came to a room. Seeing Yi Bin coming, the guard at the side quickly took out the key and opened the door.

Immediately afterwards, what appeared in front of everyone was the grenade improved by the Weapons Division.

"Your Majesty, here is the improved grenade according to your idea!"

Yi Bin took a step forward, took the grenade in his hand, and introduced its overall structure to Jiajing.

"This new grenade is divided into upper and lower parts. The lower part is made of wood. It is easy to throw and also saves costs!"

"And the upper part is wrapped by a layer of iron sheet, which is filled with black powder. In order to increase its lethality, the Weapons Division also added some iron sand into it!"
