Villager of Daming

Chapter 124 The things you want to ask have been prepared (fourth)
All the ministers went to work with their own thoughts, and Liu Zhen and Wu Lin, Minister of the Ministry of War, were left behind by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now that the Ming Dynasty was established at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, many things are managed by the general side. If there is no Military Weapons Bureau, it will not be established until nine years later.

Not to mention the saddle and bridle bureau of the armor factory, which only existed in Xuande two years ago, more than 50 years later.

Zhu Yuanzhang took out a stack of papers and handed them to the two: "There is a method of making flintlock equipment, there is a method of making flintlock guns, and there is a method of making ammunition. The gunpowder we have been using is not good enough."

The two got it in their hands and were not in a hurry to leave. They just looked here, the more they looked, the more fascinated they were. There were pictures on it.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the two of them and corrected the test book by himself. He was in a good mood. The prince was about to get married, so he sent a good firearm.

Although it is more difficult to make than a firecracker, it is easy to use, has a long range and fast reloading speed. Only the remnants of Beiyuan still want to fight against our Daming?

"Your Majesty, since there is such a flintlock gun, should the production of gunfire be stopped?"

Wu Lin finished reading it, but didn't remember it. Anyway, she knew it could be made. The problem now is how to arrange the firecrackers.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished approving a test book, he raised his head: "If there are good ones, then there are bad ones? Firecrackers consume too much copper."

"Your Majesty, after making the flintlock, should we replace the firecracker and melt the firecracker?" Liu Zhen also had a question.

"Well... let's see if the firecrackers can be given to other armies."

Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant, so he finally made copper into firecrackers, and then melted them back, which was lossy.

The firecracker is not as good as the flintlock, but it is still a good weapon, the kind that can kill people.

He waved it down: "Go to your favor."

When the two leave, they have to find someone to learn how to make it when they go back, so there is no delay.

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought about the fire gun, he was a little upset again. He drank a sip of tea before regaining his composure and continued to critique the test book.

After he finished the approval, it was almost dusk, he yawned, thought about it, and went to Kunning Palace for dinner.

The prince was also there, he was a little nervous, he was about to get married, so he came to talk to his mother.

"Biaoer, how do the people in Xiaqiu Village arrange at night?" No matter how tired Zhu Yuanzhang was, he still had to think about the people in Xiaqiu Village.

"Today, there are old and dead cows collected, and I plan to send them beef, and they cook it themselves in Fuhualou.

Fuhualou didn't charge them for board and lodging. They taught Fuhualou how to bake cakes and bread, and how to reheat the roast duck.

The craftsmanship is popular everywhere. The key is that the shopkeeper of Fuhua Building knows the goods. The oven can bake many things. "

Zhu Biao talked about what Zhou Zong reported when he came back, including where he went to play today and what he ate.

Some court ladies rubbed Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulders and beat his legs. After hearing what Hao Daer said, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a lot less tired.

He thought for a while, and said: "When I asked Zhou Zong to deliver the beef, I asked, should the firecrackers we have now be melted?"

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to refer to the expert's method and tell the villagers that they would naturally send letters when the villagers returned.

Zhu Biao immediately found a pen and paper to write, and sent an eunuch to send it out, and he was waiting here for dinner.

Zhou Zong received the order and rushed to Fuhua Building with fifty catties of beef.

The shopkeeper of Fuhualou is busy. Today's Fuhualou's main food is cake.

It starts selling at noon, and more people know about it in the evening. Come and try it all. Some take it home, and some eat other dishes in the restaurant and eat cakes along the way.

People in Xiaqiu Village can only eat in their own courtyards. Everyone burns their feet first, and then thinks about what to eat. Eating in one courtyard is very lively.

Zhou Zong brought beef and a bunch of side dishes, which the village taught the palace, and they could be used for any meal.

It’s even okay to eat staple foods such as steamed buns and rice directly with side dishes.

"Zhu Lichang, fifty catties of beef and some seasonings that are commonly used in the village, you can watch it.

Another thing is that the wrong things you imitated are better than firecrackers. What about firecrackers? "

Zhou Zong completed the task first, and the flintlock guns you made are too powerful.

Li Chang's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "This meat, I have to ask everyone what they want to do. Regarding the firecracker, wait for me."

After finishing speaking, he went into his room in the yard, and took out two pieces of paper after a while: "Zhou Sheren, give this to the prince, it contains a good method about firecrackers."

"Zhu Lichang, can you seal the envelope with wax?"

Zhou Zong didn't answer, what are you kidding?I don't want to know, it's not good to know more.

The head of the village waved his hands: "No need for this, it's simple, I'll ask them what they eat."

He stuffed the paper and turned to look for Hanhan, who was in the village elder's yard, showing him his health.

It took a long time to go out today, the sun was poisonous, and it was hot. The village elders visited Nanjing for the first time, and they were afraid of problems when they were excited.

Zhou Zong took the paper and thought about it, he would be suspected anyway, so take a look!What exactly is it.

There are pictures on the paper, and there are methods of manufacture and usage.

After he finished reading, he was about to go back and report, when the chief came in a hurry: "That's great, Zhou Sheren didn't leave, we want astragalus and Atractylodes macrocephala, so let's get half a catty first!"

"Is someone sick?" Zhou Zong was taken aback.

"No, it's not the same when you're sick. It just so happens that you took the beef, and we cook a dish." Li Chang shook his head.

"Okay, I'll go back first, you guys are cooking other dishes!" Zhou Zong packed the paper and ran away.

Zhou Zong couldn't enter Kunning Palace, so he had to report to the people in the Prince's Mansion, and the letter was sent there, telling them to get the medicine.

The eunuch of the Prince's Mansion ran to Kunning Palace and handed in a paper: "Long Live Lord, medicine, there is medicine, half a catty each of Astragalus membranaceus and Atractylodes macrocephala."

"But someone is sick?" Zhu Yuanzhang was nervous. He came to watch the ceremony, so what's the matter if he died here?
"No, it's for cooking." The eunuch shook his head.

"Go and make arrangements, alas!" Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved, picked up two pieces of paper and looked at them, and was stunned after seeing them.

There are three things on the two sheets of paper, one is to add a cap on the firecracker, and the fire door cover can prevent the place from getting damp.

The other is the wooden horse, a piece of wood, this is the most important, it can increase the range of the firecracker.

The third is the arrows used for shooting. Instead of just beading, the arrows are put in and fired together, and then a bunch of very small beads are used to fill the gaps left after the arrows are released.

After shooting in this way, the beads and the arrow are sprayed out together. The arrow can fly two to three hundred steps, but the effective distance is not clear. It depends on what part of the enemy it hits, whether it has armor, and so on.

"An expert is in the team?" Zhu Yuanzhang handed the paper to his son, and he thought of the eunuch coming in to ask for medicine.

Knowing that this is called food tonic, there are old people in the village who probably feel uncomfortable after walking around for a day.

It means that someone in the team must be able to read, otherwise, who would dare to use drugs blindly?In addition, as soon as I asked, the other party gave me a solution.

That's not right, I didn't have that long to draw the picture, it was clearly written and drawn in advance.

The other party estimated that when making the flintlock, the situation of the existing firearms had been taken into account.

"Didn't you expect the enemy before you fought? Oh!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how he was feeling.

Zhu Biao quickly read it and handed it to his mother. He didn't know what to say for a while.

　There is one more chapter, before two o'clock!Farm code words are at this speed, alas!Can't wait to see it tomorrow.
