People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 224: Flintlock paper shells are released! The drought in Henan has reached the point where people cannibalize people! !
The magistrate of Wanping County was stunned when he arrived at the scene of Chen Han's murder.

He probably never thought that Chen Han actually killed someone again.

The magistrate of Wanping County has been following Chen Han on patrol.

He saw Chen Han treating the people thoughtfully and answering their questions.

I also saw Chen Han telling people how to pay attention to epidemic prevention.

There are many things that the magistrate of Wanping County does not understand.

Even when he saw Chen Han exhausting the retired Minister of Civil Affairs to death, he didn't think it was too much.

After all, these people have enjoyed so much wealth and support from the people. Now they are just allowed to go to the dam to build the embankment like the common people, and they do not need to be too tired.

But relying on their status, these people not only refused to go but beat them up. It was not wrong for the Duke to deal with them directly.

At that time, the magistrate of Wanping County still thought that Chen Han was a savior, but now he saw hundreds of corpses just dumped on the river embankment, and he understood.

To the common people, Chen Han is a Bodhisattva, but to scholars, he is the King of Hell.

"How can this be done?" The magistrate of Wanping County didn't understand.

There were officers and soldiers coming forward.

"Sir, please don't show sympathy to these damned people. We have all found out that these people really deserve to die!"

The magistrate of Wanping County looked at the corpses on the ground and asked, "What's going on?"

The officers and soldiers were a little embarrassed to say that, after all, their county magistrate was also a scholar, so he had to give him some face.

"Say it!" said the Wanping County Magistrate.

The officers and soldiers said: "People who saw it said that at first, five to six thousand scholars came to block the Duke's car. They knelt on the ground and asked the Duke to allow them to take part in the imperial examination.

The Duke ignored him, so these people kowtowed on the ground, smashing their heads, and kept shouting that everything was their fault and that they would not dare to do anything again. "

As he spoke, the officers and soldiers had a look of disgust on their faces.

"Keep talking!" said the magistrate of Wanping County.

The officers and soldiers said: "Later, the guards of the Duke of Guo said that I have never seen such shameless things like you, and you are not qualified to serve as cattle or horses for the Duke of Guo.

These scholars also said that they are not qualified to be cows or horses, so they can be dogs.

After saying that, he began to bark like a dog, and more than 5,000 people imitated the barking of a dog..."

yue! !
The magistrate of Wanping County vomited directly.

How embarrassing!

"Disgraceful thing!

It just puts all the scholars in shame!
What a piece of shit! "

The magistrate of Wanping County stood up.

Just now, he felt that these people were also talents after all, and he even sympathized with their plight.

But now he just felt sick and wanted to vomit.

More than 5,000 people learned how to bark like a dog.

Just to be able to take the imperial examination.

Damn you people.

"Later, the Duke of Guo did not want to care about these people, and directly announced that these scholars' places of origin should be cancelled, and they wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, these hundreds of older scholars knelt in the carriage of the Duke of Guo. In front of them, they said they would not leave, and they also said that the Duke did not dare to kill them in front of so many people!

then……"

The officers and soldiers did not continue.

"Okay! I know what's going on! These bitches really deserve to die. Find a mass grave and bury all these bitches! They're such a shameful bunch of people. They're not even worth a tombstone. Pooh!!"

The magistrate of Wanping County, who had been a little sympathetic to these people just now, immediately became disgusted.

……

Bureau of Firearms, Ministry of Industry.

Looking at the flintlock gun that was finally completed after several months.

Chen Han took it in his hand and weighed it. In fact, he couldn't tell the difference between it and Lumi Gun.

But seeing such a satisfactory musket, Chen Han had to show enough satisfaction to praise the craftsmen who were waiting for his evaluation.

Facing Chen Han, the murderous King of Hell, the craftsmen present were very nervous.

Chen Han picked up the flintlock gun and loaded it with paper shells, then pointed it at the target a hundred meters away and fired a shot.

Maybe it was because the accuracy of the flintlock gun was better than that of the previous musket, or maybe it was because Chen Han was lucky enough to hit the target with one shot.

"Okay! Mr. Guo is a good marksman!"

"so amazing!"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was standing by and quickly complimented him.

Chen Han asked other Jinyiwei Musketeers to try it too.

The accuracy of the Musketeers is better than Chen Han.

It almost hit the target.

Coupled with the rapid reloading of paper-cased fixed-loading ammunition, they can actually fire three bullets in one minute.

This is already very good.

"Okay, okay!! How many such muskets have been produced this time?" Chen Han asked.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry replied from the side: "A total of one thousand have been produced, and the first batch will be used in your musketry team!"

Chen Han held a flintlock gun and said: "Increase production, produce at least 10,000 pieces first, replace all the muskets in Shenji Camp with flintlock guns, and produce at least 100,000 rounds of paper shells."

The Minister of Industry was very happy when he heard that Chen Han had placed such a large order.

This is all his own merit.

After leaving the Firearms Bureau, on the way back to the mansion after leaving Yongding Gate, seeing that there were still two miles to go to the mansion, a young man in ragged clothes suddenly rushed out from the bushes.

This person rushed out and shouted: "Help! Lord Qingtian, help me!!"

Liu Ting and Wang Hu stepped forward and shouted: "Who is it?"

The young man used his last strength to shout: "Master Qingtian, help me. Henan has been suffering from drought for a year. There are thousands of victims. The local government has set up roadblocks to prevent the victims from leaving. Now the victims have begun to eat each other... "

After saying that, he passed out.

"Save people quickly!" Chen Han said urgently.

ducal mansion.

"My lord, he is suffering from long-term hunger and depletion. He just needs to be nursed back to health. I will prescribe a few warm and tonic prescriptions for him to drink and that will be enough," the doctor said.

Chen Han nodded: "Yes! You go down first!"

Wang Hu said from the side: "There have been rumors of drought in Henan since last year, but first of all, the late emperor passed away and His Majesty ascended the throne; secondly, Henan has been suffering from drought every year for the past two years, and the court has often provided disaster relief. Over time, everyone thought it was just normal. I just didn’t expect it to be so serious as cannibalism.”

Chen Han clenched his fists.

Although he knew that this happened before he came, Chen Han was extremely angry when he heard that the famine had reached the point of cannibalism, but no one reported it to the Henan magistrate.

"These officials deserve to die!" Chen Han said angrily.

The young man finally woke up in the middle of the night.

"How did you know about the Duke?" Liu Ting asked.

The young man glanced at Chen Han who was standing in the room, struggled to get off the bed, and knelt at Chen Han's feet: "Sir, I escaped from Henan. I originally wanted to go to the capital to complain. But the governor of Henan sent troops to chase him all the way.

A total of more than seventy of us escaped, and now I am the only one left.

I escaped to Tianjinwei and was taken in by a kind-hearted family. The family said that Tianjinwei had a flood some time ago and it was Mr. Chen, the master of Qingtian, who punished corrupt officials and saved them.

I thought that since Mr. Qingtian could save the victims of Tianjin Wei, he should be able to save us in Henan, so I entered the capital without disturbing any officials. After I found out where you lived, I hid in the grass. "

As he spoke, the young man burst into tears: "Sir! If you don't save the victims in Henan, we will be dead."
