Royal Little Fortune

Chapter 693

The firearms building storehouse is a special existence in the Tiangongyuan, because from the emperor, to the empress Yaruo, to the head of the Tiangongyuan Song Yingxing, everyone is particularly concerned about the firearms building storehouse, so not only invested a lot of money, but also engaged in There are also many talents in this field, and they occupy a lot of space.

In the Tiangongyuan, the site of the fire construction warehouse is the largest, occupying a large courtyard. Talents in this field should work here, design firearm blueprints, discuss and finalize the plan.

There are also a lot of firearms stored here, but because firearms are relatively dangerous things, they don't use firearms here, they just put some new ones and some ancient firearms.

There are many firearms and cannons stored in the large warehouse in the suburbs of Beijing. About ten miles away from the storage warehouse, there is a large open space specially created by the royal family. This open space is specially used for testing firearms. Usually, there are people guarding it, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter it. , especially when these dangerous firearm tests are to be carried out, the surrounding area must be cleared.

A few days later, Ya Ruo accompanied the emperor to the testing site. Song Yingxing had already had the newly built cannons put up and fired three cannons in a row. average.

The specially built wall 200 meters away was collapsed by this cannon.

After the emperor and Yaruo saw it, their eyes lit up, because the wall was a special wall, although it was only one foot high, it was a full three feet thick, and it just collapsed like this. This proves that this cannon can Most of the walls were taken down.

When attacking the city in the future, it is no longer necessary to kill many people, just blast the city wall with a cannon.

Of course, some particularly large cities, such as the capital, have walls that are not only three feet thick, so the cannons probably won't be able to blast them.

"My Majesty, Your Majesty, according to expectations, this cannon should be able to knock down even thicker city walls. I will continue to try. If there are enough such cannons, one cannon cannon will also be able to knock down the walls." Slowly knock down the very thick city walls, as long as they are not as strong as the city walls of the capital, there will be no problem at all."

The emperor was very happy after hearing this, and said with a smile: "That's very good. Since this new cannon has such power, let's make more. If the money is not enough, tell the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Yingxing replied hastily.

Ever since he mastered the Tiangong Academy, he has really realized his ambition. Many of his previous ideas have been put into practice, and the emperor has given him great support. Song Yingxing was a little emotional at first, but now he is completely convinced.

"My Majesty, Your Majesty, the Firearms Building Warehouse has created a new type of firearm. Although it cannot fire continuously, it is waterproof. Even if it rains, the firearm can still be used." Song Yingxing said with a smile, his face full of pride.

No wonder he was like this, because the guns of this era would turn off when it rained, Ya Ruo knew this very well, but he didn't expect that after many tests, it could be waterproof, which was a great improvement.

"Hurry up and take a look." The emperor was also very excited, and quickly asked Song Yingxing to bring the gun over, tried it himself, and then waved his hand: "Make more for me, and first match them for the nobles of the Eight Banners."

If possible, the emperor certainly hoped that the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty would have a hand, but it was a pity...the cost of firearms and cannons was too high, and the treasury was empty, so they couldn't afford it at all.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely control the cost and try to use less money." Song Yingxing bowed, knowing that the emperor had difficulties.

After Song Yingxing walked away, Ya Ruo fired two guns under the emperor's guidance before returning the gun to him.

"Not bad." The emperor praised with a smile, meaning that Ya Ruo was very accurate in firing the gun.

"That's right, don't look at who I am." Ya Ruomei said happily.

After all, she is a martial artist, so she was born with that feeling, and she was very accurate in archery before, so this is not difficult.

"Your Majesty, how about... I use my money to subsidize Tiangongyuan?" Ya Ruo leaned her head and said with a smile.

"Forget it, how much can you accumulate in those roasted seeds and nuts shops, as for the dowry that you Qige gave you, such as shops, fields, etc., you must not move." The emperor said softly.

"Of course the dowry given by Eqige can't be moved, and those given by the emperor, but... don't underestimate my roasted goods shops. These shops have earned a lot of money in the past few years, tens of thousands of taels. It can still be taken out." Ya Ruo said with a smile.

The emperor didn't intend to ask for her, but now that the national treasury is empty, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't provide any money, he didn't pretend to be hypocritical, and then he smiled: "Then please ask the empress to lend 50 taels of silver to the Tiangongyuan first, and I will give you money." I will pay you back later."

"Okay!" Ya Ruo nodded with a smile. In fact, being able to help the emperor is a very happy thing for her.

After returning, Ya Ruo asked someone to take out the banknotes that were put in the wooden box in the high cabinet, and after counting 50 taels, sent them to Tiangongyuan.

In the afternoon, the queen mother sent another 50 taels of silver, saying that it was her own silver that the old man had saved over the years.

As the empress dowager, of course she has more than this little wealth, but... most of her old man's good things are peerless treasures, and they will not be easily exchanged for silver, so it is normal to only have 50 taels of silver.

Ya Ruo was not polite either, after being sent to Tiangongyuan, seeing that it was still early, she planned to leave the palace.

When she married the emperor back then, her family Eqige bought a lot of dowry. There are twenty shops in the city of Beijing alone, and there are many fields. The emperor gave her a dowry list, and directly gave her a street. There are many shops in that area, and the business is very good. These are all owned by Yaruo now. Although they are only rented, they still earn a lot of money every year.

She visits every once in a while.

The emperor and the entire royal family have a lot of properties, otherwise there would be no need for a huge Ministry of Internal Affairs to manage them. The reason why they are always poor is mainly because the world is unstable, there are wars from time to time, and many lands in the country are left uncultivated. Rents and taxes were not paid, and the national treasury was empty. He had to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to subsidize and subsidize with the royal family's money, so he was poor.

Ya Ruo was just wandering around, just looking around, but met Jing Xian, a big local tycoon, who was buying mink fur coats in a fur shop.

It's almost winter now, and it's about to snow in the capital, and the weather will only get colder and colder. It's normal to buy warm clothes in advance, but he's standing there in a furry suit, which is a bit ridiculous.

"Niece, are you going out to buy warm clothes too?" Jing Xian greeted with a smile.
