"Took it back?"

Zhao Shu was anxious when he saw Shen An coming in with a cloth bag, so he stood up and asked.

"Yes." Shen An opened the cloth bag and inside was a thick stack of blueprints. "Your Majesty, these are the casting blueprints for the bronze artillery."

Zhao Shu came over and looked at the drawings one by one.

"What does this mean?"

He asked, looking at the diameter and other marked data on the drawing.

"Your Majesty, this is the diameter. Look, here is the inner diameter and the outer diameter. The difference between them is the wall thickness... And here, you see, this is the diameter of the fire hole. These must be accurate, otherwise... ...You know, the sizes of those iron bullets are about the same. If the opening of the artillery is enlarged, the iron bullets will not be airtight when they go in. They will leak air and not be able to hit far."

"The air leak..." Zhao Shu asked: "The air leak can't go far, why?"

"The firing of artillery relies entirely on gunpowder burning expanding gases. If there is a leak, the expanding gases will escape from the side instead of pushing the iron projectile out."

"I understand this."

"And this one is small. If it's smaller, the iron bullet won't fit in."

As Shen An explained, he wondered whether these sticks would be suppressed with ulterior motives.

"You see here, the requirements for casting are quite high. If there are bubbles inside, it will be useless."

"And here, look here, this is the reinforcement. Without this thing, once there are cracks in the artillery, it may explode."

Zhao Shu listened and looked at the drawings.

"What's this?"

he asked, pointing to a statistic.

"This is... you see there is a plus and minus sign here, which is the dimensional tolerance. In other words, the maximum allowable error in this aperture size is that much. Once this error is exceeded, the entire artillery can only be remade."

"Is it so complicated?" Zhao Shu frowned at the data, "Can Chaozhong's workshop understand it?"

Here it comes!

Shen An said melancholy: "If you don't understand, you have to teach it from scratch."

Why!

Zhao Shu sighed: "Is it the knowledge from miscellaneous studies?"

"Yes." Shen An looked very honest, but Bao Zheng swore that this guy was extremely embarrassed at the moment.

Only miscellaneous students can strengthen the Song Dynasty. This is the hint that Shen An has been silently giving.

"Then professor." Zhao Shu was also very melancholy, but he didn't know the reason.

"Can the prince know it?"

he asked suddenly.

"Yes." Shen An smiled and said, "The king is quite curious about this and has learned well."

Zhao Shu felt inexplicably more relaxed, "I'm thinking! If they take these drawings and they can't understand here or there, Yelu Hongji might want to kill someone, hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed.

No one can understand those weird symbols, but there is a recipe and a method for casting it, so if it really falls into the hands of the enemy, if they are courageous, they will only need countless experiments to finally come up with the artillery.

"Miscellaneous studies are very important, I'm thinking! How can more people learn this knowledge?" Zhao Shu finally could no longer ignore this knowledge.

Shen An felt his heartbeat begin to speed up, but he still looked calm.

Zhao Shu looked at him and said with satisfaction: "Starting from tomorrow, you will come into the palace for an hour every day and talk to me about miscellaneous studies."

Han Qi was stunned, feeling that he might have heard wrongly.

According to Chinese tradition, even if you are an emperor, you must maintain the habit of learning. For this reason, a group of so-called great scholars are trying to compete for the qualification to give lectures to the emperor.

But today Zhao Shu gave this qualification to Shen An.

This is nothing, because the lecture is a lecture, not a teacher.

But what Shen An was about to talk about was miscellaneous subjects.

This is a bomb, it will blow up the prime ministers in one go, leaving them charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

The development process of miscellaneous studies can be said to be silent. From the beginning of the dozen or so students in Taixue to the establishment of Mangshan Academy, miscellaneous studies were like a small patch of weeds, growing silently.

But Zhao Shu actually wanted to study miscellaneous subjects. When the news spread, everyone in the world was shocked.

You say that miscellaneous studies are not good or good, so why do officials have to study them?

Just such a rhetorical question can defeat all great scholars.

Unless they dare to say that the official is sick or crazy, there is no way to refute this.

There is a saying called entering the house!

If the emperor could learn miscellaneous knowledge, it would be considered as an entrance into the palace.

Fu Bi suddenly whispered to Bao Zheng: "The Liao people don't have a gunpowder formula. It's useless if they take the blueprints. The artillery they make can't hit far. I guess the Shenwei Crossbow can teach them a lesson."

Bao Zheng coughed dryly and said nothing.

The prime ministers and assistants were not fools. When they paired Zhao Shu's decision with his previous eagerness to pursue the drawings, they discovered something fishy.

It’s not easy to create artillery together!

Even if you work together to build the artillery, it's still useless, because you don't have the best gunpowder formula. If you put the iron bullets in, you probably won't be able to hit the opponent's array.

Shen An was informed, but he didn't mention a word before, which was obviously intentional.

But what about the official family?

Are officials stupid?

Of course not stupid.

The only explanation is that the officials are cooperating with Shen An.

Tsk tsk!

The king and his ministers joined forces to make such a show, and kept the ministers and ministers in the dark. It was really amazing!

Zhao Shu coughed dryly and said, "I got the drawings back, and I'll look at them better later."

He said this with some lack of confidence.

Shen An also felt that the atmosphere among the prime ministers and assistants was not right.

This must have been discovered.

Han Qi left the class and said: "Your Majesty, it is not a problem to learn miscellaneous subjects, but I am worried that I will not be able to convince those people. When the time comes, the world will be full of controversy, which will not be conducive to the implementation of the New Deal."

Zeng Gongliang also nodded secretly, feeling that Lao Han's words couldn't be more correct.

Those who opposed the New Deal were repeatedly attacked, so sniping at the miscellaneous students became their biggest target.

Thousands of people pointed it out, but it ended without any disease!

Who can withstand the crazy attacks of those people then?

Zhao Shu was deep in thought. He is an emperor and does not make decisions lightly...

He said in a deep voice: "I have seen a lot about the way of miscellaneous studies in these years. It is not an exaggeration to say that it benefits the country and the people. There is nothing in miscellaneous studies that is related to the knowledge above the court. I want to understand it. Ichiban, can’t you?”

Aren't those people most nervous about the miscellaneous society's proposals for governing the country? But no! The miscellaneous studies are full of knowledge that has not been discovered by previous generations, and there is not a word about the things that govern the country.

Han Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid those people won't listen."

He glanced at Shen An and said, "Xue Xue has been dormant for these years. I have been watching you and feel that you know the appropriateness. This is good. If officials learn this now, Xue Xue will become a thorn in the eyes of many people. You may block it." ?”

This was a warning for Shen An to persuade Zhao Shu to give up this idea.

Shen An smiled and said: "How about miscellaneous studies? What I say does not count, and what the students say does not count. I firmly believe that a thousand words are not as good as a final word. It just so happens that Izumo Temple is getting new artillery recently. If His Majesty is free, Please go and take a look.”

"New artillery?" Zhao Shu was delighted when he heard it, "Okay, let's go now."

The emperor is still very receptive to new things. This time he helped Zaxue, but he didn't want to let Zaxue stand up and become the second target besides the New Deal.

In this way, the pressure of the New Deal will naturally be less.

This kind of skill is invisible to ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from the prime ministers, so Han Qi came out to warn Shen An.

When changing clothes at the back, Chen Zhongheng advised: "Officials, I'm afraid you will be criticized for studying miscellaneous matters!"

Even Chen Zhongheng knew the serious consequences of this matter, but Zhao Shu just said calmly: "Shen An is too lazy and too idle."

Chen Zhongheng thought about it carefully and couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for his good friend.

The officials thought Shen An had nothing to do and were looking for something for him to do!

Everyone left the imperial city and went to Izumo Temple.

After arriving at Izumo-kan, I could see a few idle men outside. One of them was lying on the roof, with his chest exposed, which was quite indecent.

"Who is that?" Zhao Shu couldn't help but get a little angry when he saw it, "This place is so pure and clean outside, it's outrageous!"

"boom!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a roar from behind Izumo Temple. Everyone's horses were startled and they quickly controlled it.

Zeng Gongliang's horse had just been replaced recently. He was frightened by the roar and fell to the ground, pulling out the excrement in lumps.

Zeng Gongliang lay on the horse and looked ahead with a dark expression on his face.

Official, you just told me that there is a pure land outside the country, why is there thunder?

No, it was a blast.

Han Qi came by carriage. He got off the carriage triumphantly and said, "This is artillery. It sounds powerful."

Zhao Shu dismounted, pointed at the roof and asked, "Who is that? Take it down!"

Zhang Ba8en, who was following, took a look, and the will-o'-the-wisp in his eyes dimmed for a moment.

"Huh?" Zhao Shu became angry when he saw that he didn't take action.

You unruly slave, how dare you disobey me?

Zhang Baba lowered his head and said: "Guan family, that is... a secret agent of the Imperial City Department."

The corners of Zhao Shu's eyes twitched, feeling that it would be a bad day to go out today.

"The official came in person, and everyone at Izumo Temple was overjoyed."

She Qing led the people out, and his smile had nothing to do with Xianyun Yehe, he was very flattering, "No wonder Pindao did an extraordinarily good job in the morning class today. When he fell into silence, he felt clouds surging in the sky above Izumo Temple. , it turned out that it was the official’s responsibility.”

This guy is a disgrace to the Taoist sect!

Shen An couldn't listen anymore, "I'll wait to see the artillery and lead the way."

She Qing glanced at Shen An resentfully, feeling that a great opportunity had been lost.

The two of them went in side by side, and She Qing whispered: "Brother Tao, we can't cause trouble!"

"What do you want to do?" Shen An felt that this guy was just an official fan, and She Hui should have kicked him out of the school long ago.

"I'm thinking, if I could make the officials more comfortable, would I give Pindao a real person's title?"

Real person!

Once you get this title, you can be called the leader of the Taoist sect.

She Qing was intoxicated for a while. Seeing Shen An's expressionless expression, he asked, "Brother Dao, if you don't speak, do you think it's reasonable?"

"If people like you get the title of real person, sooner or later you will become a demon who will bring disaster to the country and the people. She Hui will get angry and throw you into the furnace and merge with the molten iron."

Shiqing shuddered, "Brother Taoist, don't talk nonsense. Last time, a Taoist slipped his foot and went in. As a result... nothing happened."

"Of course, it's just that the steel in that furnace has more carbon content."

"Carbon content?"

"Yes, the barbecue is burnt. What does it look like?"

"Like... charcoal."

She Qing retched, and Shen An smiled mischievously.

She Qing's flattery before made him feel sick, but this time it was a counterattack.

When the spy on the roof saw Zhao Shu, he couldn't help shouting: "The officials are here."

This idiot!

Zhang Baba wished he could catch the spy to death with one claw.

"Ouch!"

The secret spy didn't need to be caught. His feet slipped and he slipped down.

There is a large water tank under the eaves for fire extinguishing.

The secret spy fell into the water tank without dying.

Boom!

Water splashed everywhere, and then the water tank exploded.

Shen An stood in front of Zhao Shu and read a book www. uukanshu． net just needed to call for an escort.

Water splashed on his body, but Zhao Shu was unharmed.

"Shen Qing is loyal, I know."

hehe!

Although he was only blocking the water, Shen An's reaction was too fast, so Zhao Shu couldn't help but be touched.

Zhang Baibian was covered in water and his face was ashen.

After Zhao Shu and others go in, he will stay and punish these fools.

All the way into the back, I saw an artillery test firing.

"That is……"

Zhao Shu squinted at the cannon and suddenly said in surprise: "Is it made of steel?"

The Song Dynasty was short of copper. Shen An said that he would use steel to make cannons in the future. Zhao Shu had been waiting for this good news.

"Yes." Shen An said calmly: "Izumo Temple has been testing cast steel cannons, but it has failed many times and spent countless money. It has only recently started to look better."

"good!"

Han Qi couldn't help but praise: "This can save a lot of copper materials, which can be said to benefit the country and the people!"

Everyone looked at Shen An and couldn't help but secretly approve.

Bao Zheng said: "He didn't say it, but that doesn't mean he didn't do it. Which one of these things did he not do in obscurity? After he did it, some people attacked him without saying a word. It can be said that he endured the humiliation! "

Shen An cooperated and looked sad.

Zeng Gongliang thought of those broken legs and couldn't help but feel that the word "bearing humiliation and bearing the burden" could no longer be used in the future.

Zhao Shu obviously thought of this as well. He twitched his eyes a few times and said, "Shen Qing is a gentleman."

Han Qi wanted to vomit.

It's okay to say that others are gentlemen, but Shen An... How many people has he deceived, does he deserve to be called a gentleman?

Zeng Gongliang's face turned red, but he felt that this gentleman's comments were really speechless.

Is it possible that the word gentleman will no longer be used in the future?
