Chapter 49

Remembering that the shotgun now explodes from time to time, Fang Xing specially uses the double-layer forging method to make the barrel.

"Design a platform, and then make a semicircle ditch on the platform..."

Fang Xing took out a piece of white paper and wrote a picture.

"The iron plate should be long, so that it can be forged repeatedly, and finally form a double-layer structure."

Of course, there is no comparison between single-layer gun barrel and double-layer gun barrel, but the processing volume is a little larger. However, Fang Xing believes that as long as it can stimulate the enthusiasm of craftsmen, these are not problems.

"It's up to you. You want money and people."

Fang Xing casually took out a steel rod, and Zhu Fang's eyes lit up at the sight of it.

Fang Xing said with a smile, "the diameter of this steel rod is just used as the mandrel for rolling the barrel of the gun. I'll give it to you now."

"Good steel!"

Zhu Fang just knocked a few times and judged the quality of the steel rod from the sound.

Fang woke up and said to Zhu Zhanji, "I'll solve the technical things, but you can get the iron material."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "no problem. There are as many as you want."

If Fang Xing can develop a powerful musket, the credit will be enough to raise the status of Donggong and his son in the army.

At present, Donggong and his son have only received most of the support of the civil service system, but in the military, those Xun GUI and the king of Han fought side by side, and their friendship is not false. Moreover, in recent years, with the rebound of the civil service system, those dignitaries have found that they have a hidden tendency to be suppressed.

This trend was intolerable to Xun GUI, so they rebounded and succeeded. Therefore, after Zhu Zhanji's early death, there was a change of civil castle, a large number of Xun GUI died in the country, and the responsibility of military defeat was put on Xun GUI and Wang Zhen.

So far, the civil servants of Daming finally succeeded in the counter attack, pressing Xun GUI and the military attache to the corner of the wall and never turned over again.

Therefore, there is a saying in later generations that the change of civil castle is actually an action carefully planned by the civil service system of Daming. The purpose is to overturn the noble system on an equal footing with themselves. Therefore, they do not hesitate to exhaust the last strength of Daming.

After finishing the business, Fang woke up and looked at Zhu Zhanji's eyes with blisters. He said earnestly, "you are... Young people should know moderation!"

"Ah!"

Zhu Zhanji was thinking about how to tell his father about it. Hearing the speech, he was stunned first, and then said in shame: "brother Dehua, I think about the workshop day and night, but unlike you, I couldn't find anyone at noon yesterday..."

"Cough!"

Yifang's face was still embarrassed by this.

At noon yesterday, he was just a little tired, so he took a nap.

As we all know, the young man was angry when he woke up, so he had an in-depth communication with Zhang Shuhui. The result was good. I was energetic all day.

Zhu Zhanji laughed proudly and went to find his prince's father.

If you want to know something, you really have to report it first, or you villains... For example, Shang Dequan, the doctor of the Ministry of work, and Li Qi, must take the opportunity to make trouble.

"What?"

In the workshop, when Shang Dequan heard Li Qi's report, his eyes almost fell off and said in amazement, "Huang TAISUN wants to trial produce a firegun in fangjiazhuang?"

Li Qi said proudly, "Lord Shang, one of my men heard about it. I heard that Huang TAISUN is going to build a new fire gun based on Zhu Fang."

"This..."

When people in officialdom hear something, their first reaction is not to assess the benefits to the country, but to assess what benefits they can get from it.

Shang Dequan stroked his beard and asked with gloomy eyes, "do you think it's reliable?"

"Unreliable!"

Li Qi gloated and said, "Zhu Fang used to be a better craftsman in the workshop. There are many such craftsmen here. If Zhu Fang wants to make a sharp weapon with him, ha ha! That's a big joke!"

Shang Dequan narrowed his eyes and wondered if he could use it to attack the prince. He casually asked, "are you sure?"

"Of course."

Although Li Qi only knows a little about gun manufacturing, it does not prevent him from judging the results with his previous experience in managing the workshop.

I have worked in the workshop for many years. If the new firearms were so easy to develop, I would have been promoted long ago, okay!

"Hum!"

Shang Dequan snorted coldly, then waved his hand and said, "if the prince writes down, give it to them. As long as it's not too much, give them all the materials. If I can't get good things at that time, I'll see what the guilt of wasting money is for one's curiosity!"

Li Qi nodded and was ready to go out, but Shang Dequan stopped him again. After pondering for a while, he said, "since your highness TAISUN is also interested, move here, or others will accuse us of being a vegetarian meal!"

Li Qi was overjoyed at the speech. This is to let me follow the development of new weapons!

Others don't know about the trickiness in the development of new weapons, but Li Qi can't understand it again. He replied happily: "yes, there will be gratitude here at that time. Please don't refuse."

Shang Dequan waved. After Li Qi left, he couldn't wait to write a letter, in which he informed Zhu Gaoxi, king of the Han Dynasty, about the matter, and then expressed his attitude of not optimistic about the matter. He hoped that the king of the Han Dynasty could take the opportunity to teach the prince and his son a lesson.

After giving the letter to his confidant, Suntech went outside humming a ditty.

……

It was getting colder and colder day by day, and the Chinese cabbage was finally harvested.

Boss Li straightened up from the vegetable field and looked at the Chinese cabbage piled on the side of the field. He was in a trance.

Fang Jiazhuang used to grow Chinese cabbage, but there was no cellar, so what he couldn't eat was stacked in the corner before winter, and he couldn't hold on for half a month.

But under the arrangement of young master Fang Xing, every family dug a cellar this year. According to the arrangement of Chuang Tzu, all the cabbages except kimchi were put into the cellar.

The wife stopped the little son from pulling vegetables. Seeing that the head of the family was in a trance, she said, "his father, it's time to get our jar?"

Boss Li nodded and said, "the housekeeper said yesterday that I would go to the main house to pick it up later."

"More than that!"

His wife said with a smile: "it was announced yesterday that each family should send out one person, and then make kimchi in the main house. After soaking, each family has three jars."

Boss Li said, "then go to the main house after lunch. First learn how to make kimchi, and then I'll get the three jars."

In the afternoon, there was a noise in the main house. Fang Xing sat on the steps, holding his face and watching the flower mother shouting to teach people to make kimchi.

"Wash your hands and the jar, or it will rot!"

"Note that the dishes must be solid, and the jar mouth must be filled with water to keep it sealed."
