Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

"Come on~" Liu Xiu called Xu Miaoyun who was not far away, and the three of them went to the north gate again.

After Li Wenzhong ate the buns, he burped and asked curiously, "What do you want a craftsman to do? Be a guy?"

Liu Xiu nodded, then quickly shook his head, "What are you doing, you don't want to fight, just make some gadgets."

Sure enough, as the old steamed stuffed bun seller said, ghost hands can be found as soon as you reach the north gate. This dilapidated house is really unique, and it doesn’t match the painting style of the house next door.

"Go in by yourself. If we are all blocked by the enemy, it will be difficult to come out. I will wait at the door." Li Wenzhong said seriously.

Xu Miaoyun followed behind Liu Xiu, "I want to go in too!"

Liu Xiu led Xu Miaoyun to lift the curtain at the door. As soon as the curtain sticks to her hands, she feels a strange feeling. I don't know if it's old oil or something, but ordinary swords are sure to be indestructible.

A gust of rusty hot air hits the face.

Liu Xiu frowned slightly, her nose felt a little uncomfortable from the scorching gas, "Is anyone there?"

A shirtless, brawny man with messy hair came out of the back room with a very bad attitude, "What are you doing?"

Xu Miaoyun raised her eyebrows and shouted coquettishly, "Didn't you see a girl?! Can you put on your clothes? Why are you asking! You are a blacksmith, what else can we do when we come to you!"

The ghost hand was taken aback for a moment, then he said oh, and went back to the house and put on a coat, "What are you going to do?"

Xu Miaoyun looked at Liu Xiu with a blushing face, and secretly thought in her heart that she would show her true colors in a hurry, so he wouldn't think too much about it...

Liu Xiu smiled, but didn't care too much. He still knew Xu Miaoyun's mouth well, and he directly told Dong Naihe that he was autistic, and he didn't even use a dirty word, which was a few levels higher than Dong Naihe didn't know. .

"I'm going to make a pot, and a funnel, a very fine sieve..."

Liu Xiulian said with gestures, although the ghost hand has never done these things, but Liu Xiu understood as soon as he said it, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's not difficult."

Liu Xiu was overjoyed, she still had to connect with top craftsmen, "How long will it take to finish? It's urgent, I can add more money!"

The ghost hand picked his ears, "I'm sorry, little brother, can I ask, what are you doing all this for?"

Liu Xiu's eyes glowed green, and he said, "Make salt!"

Chapter 92 First Thoughts on Bursting Firearms

"Salt making?" Ghost Hand's eyes darkened, and his enthusiastic attitude immediately became indifferent, "It's boring, I don't have time to do it."

Then, when she turned around and was about to enter the house, when Xu Miaoyun saw that the ghost hand dared to ignore Liu Xiu so much, she immediately became anxious and shouted angrily,

"stop!"

The ghost hand really stopped, obviously he is not very good at dealing with girls.

"Hi! You weirdo! This girl sees that you have nothing to do! What can I do if I find time to do it for him?! What kind of shop do you pick and choose?!"

The ghost scratched his messy hair, looked at Liu Xiu sympathetically, and sighed, "Your wife is really amazing."

The mother-in-law of Liu Xiu's family? !I? !

Xu Miaoyun finally came to her senses, her face turned red visible to the naked eye, the strange thing is that she didn't say anything, just lowered her head as a tacit consent.

But after thinking about it, she had already been married by His Majesty, Xu Miaoyun only felt her eyes heat up, and her heart felt unbearably uncomfortable.

Liu Xiu was too lazy to explain anything to Guishou, and asked impatiently, "Is it possible to do it?"

Ghost Hand also frowned slightly, "Usually, I can do it if you give me the money, but today I have something to do, so I can only say that you came at an unfortunate time."

After finishing speaking, the ghost hand ignored Liu Xiu again, walked into the back room as if no one else was there, picked up a bird gun, and muttered to himself and didn't know what to say.

"Oh, I always feel that it can be improved, but I just don't know how to start?"

Liu Xiu didn't know when he walked behind the ghost hand, looked at the bird gun and was slightly taken aback, only then did he realize that during the Hongwu period, firearms had already begun to be used in the army.

However, the firearms in the early Ming Dynasty had a short shooting distance, insufficient accuracy, and could only be fired single-shot, so they could only be used in specific combat situations.

The blunderbuss still seemed a bit tasteless, because once it was approached, a single-shot firearm was no match for a firestick, so it hadn't been fully popularized in the Ming army.

"I'll help you with this, and you make me what I want."

Liu Xiu's voice sounded behind Guishou, Guishou frowned and said, "Who let you in?!"

Xu Miaoyun stopped her with a smile, embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "My husband needs these things especially, and I heard that you are the master of Shuntian Mansion, can you help me?"

Xu Miaoyun's tone softened a lot, firstly because Liu Xiu really wanted something from others, and secondly because the ghost hand regarded her as Liu Xiu's wife.

The ghost hand turned his head and muttered, "If you don't want to do it, you just don't want to do it."

As for what Liu Xiu said, the ghost hand directly filtered it out. I dare not say that in the whole world, but in the entire northern border, his ghost hand craftsmanship is undisputedly number one. Even he can't research it. Passers-by can see the doorway at a glance? !

"Three questions."

"The shooting distance is short, the shooting accuracy is low, and the shooting frequency is slow."

The ghost hand suddenly raised his head, and if he could point out the flaws of the bird gun so sharply, he must be a layman!

"You understand this?"

Liu Xiu smiled, "I understand a little bit."

Ghost Hand frowned and said, "Come on, tell me, if you really tell me something, I'll make what you want for free."

Xu Miaoyun looked at Liu Xiu in disbelief,

He also understands firearms? !

Is there anything else this person doesn't understand? !

Liu Xiu stretched out his hand, and the ghost subconsciously handed over the bird gun. Liu Xiu flipped it over in his hand, thinking to himself, this thing is really tasteless.

"The problems of shooting distance and shooting accuracy cannot be solved."

The ghost hand was disappointed when he heard the words, and blamed himself secretly, why did he believe this young man's mouth?

Liu Xiu continued on his own, "The overall shape of this blunderbuss and the design of the barrel are destined to shoot at a short distance, and the bullets will not be shot accurately. To solve these two problems, unless we design a A different kind of firearm."

The ghost hand rolled his eyes, "Do you need to say that? Alright, bring it!"

Liu Xiu smiled, "Don't worry, the first two flaws can't be solved, I didn't say the third flaw can't be solved."

"Oh?" Ghost Hand was full of disbelief. The third flaw was the most unsolvable. He naturally thought of what Liu Xiu said earlier, but Liu Xiu couldn't even solve the first two flaws, but he could solve the third one. ?

If the ghost has been fooled once, he won't be fooled a second time. When he gets up, he will drive Liu Xiu and the others out.

"The third flaw is nothing more than the fact that the bird gun is single-shot, and the barrel needs to be cleaned every time a shot is fired, and then refilled, which is too time-consuming."

"Wouldn't it be better to add a magazine?"

The figure of the ghost hand froze suddenly, and something seemed to flash in his mind for a moment, but when he looked back, he couldn't catch it anymore. This feeling...is very uncomfortable.

"clip?"

"That's right," Liu Xiu pointed to the place where the ammunition is filled on the barrel, "make a round hole here, add an iron pipe on it, connect the gunpowder packs with lead wires, and after the first gunpowder pack is shot out, The second gunpowder bag just fell into the barrel from the iron pipe, and so on, so that it can be fired in succession."

Xu Miaoyun was at a loss when he heard it, he couldn't understand what kind of magazines and leads.

The layman watches the fun, the layman watches the doorway,

Although Guishou had never heard these words before, he understood what they meant. He saw that Guishou's whole body was like sifting chaff, his hands were shaking non-stop, and he looked at Liu Xiu as if he was looking at a monster.

Liu Xiu flipped his hand and threw the bird gun over, but the ghost hand almost missed it, Liu Xiu smiled, "Do you understand?"

The ghost hand murmured, "Understood...but this is too simple..."

Xu Miaoyun frowned and said, "Is it simple? I didn't understand it at all..."

Ghost Hand's attitude changed 180 degrees. He glanced at Liu Xiu like a timid student, and quickly waved his hand, "No! No! Your husband is simply a craftsman!"

Xu Miaoyun blushed and snorted arrogantly. Seeing Liu Xiu's unresponsive face, she was secretly happy again, but when she thought about the marriage, she began to feel sad again.

"Simple?! Simple is amazing!" Ghost danced and said, "The way is simple! The simpler! The more difficult! Hahahahaha, why didn't I think of it? Why didn't I think of it?!"

The ghost hands rushed to the iron furnace noisily,

Liu Xiu doubted, "He's not crazy. It doesn't matter if he is crazy, I have to help finish things first."

Xu Miaoyun didn't answer Liu Xiu, and was immersed in the sadness of giving the marriage alone.

Liu Xiu looked at Xu Miaoyun, but she was also at a loss. These days, she was always like this, sometimes happy and sometimes sad.

Is there a normal person beside me? !

Even one? !

Jingle bells rang for a while, half an hour later,

The ghost hand wrapped up what Liu Xiu asked for and handed it over, then picked up the blunderbuss and started talking to himself again.

Liu Xiu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect this person to be quite a craftsman, and he knew how to get what he wanted first.

The ghost hand was completely immersed in his own world, Liu Xiu didn't say goodbye, left a bank note, and left with Xu Miaoyun.

"Oh? Wait!" Ghost Hand suddenly stopped Liu Xiu, "What's your name?"

"Liu Xiu."

The ghost hand muttered Liu Xiu's name twice, and said thoughtfully, "I remember."

Chapter 93

Liu Xiu happily walked out of the hut with a pile of pots and pans on his back. Li Wenzhong leaned against the door with his arms folded. Seeing Liu Xiu coming out, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's over?"

Liu Xiu patted the package behind her and said with a smile, "It's over."

Hearing Ding Dong's voice, Li Wenzhong became even more curious about what Liu Xiu was going to do, "What's next?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiu looked around and found that with Li Wenzhong as the center, there was not even a single person in a radius of several hundred meters, which must have scared Li Wenzhong away.

He simply said in a normal voice, "Go buy salt."

"Buy salt? What do you buy salt for?"

"Eat it, what else can you do?"

Liu Xiu bought another big bag of salt at the market, and the three of them struggled all morning before finally returning to the restaurant.

Li Wenzhong called to open the door, and as soon as the three of them entered the lobby of the restaurant, they were immediately blinded by a burst of silver light. Seeing Li Wenzhong's return, the Liu family surrounded them excitedly, saying,

"Brother Li! You are too good!"

"Oh my God! One million taels of snowflake silver!"
