Fu tingye nodded: "then ask Zhao Sheng to come to see me."

"Yes." Qin Laowu took orders to go out and soon brought Zhao Sheng in.

Fu tingye reached out and threw the account book to Zhao Sheng: "through your secret channel, check all the merchants' recent activities. I suspect that the market price turbulence in Shengjing is related to them."

"Yes, general." Zhao Sheng respectfully accepted the order, but suddenly thought of one thing and immediately asked: "general, you said you would like to return some water. As soon as you need it on the way and through the inn, I have already arranged for you?

Fu tingye pondered slightly: "wait for another two days, and wait for the success of Madame's new shell test."

"OK." Zhao Sheng nodded.

……

"A small piece of flint is clamped in a steel plate and placed on the trigger, touching the barrel of the gun containing gunpowder or the small hole in the bore; when the hand is pulled, the flint hits the boring hole to ignite, ignite and ignite the gunpowder, and then explodes forward, and the bullet will be released from the chamber and fired at a long distance with its force..."

Hua Qingxue took the mold that Liang Wensheng had made before, and explained to the two disciples how to use the fire and how to keep away from it.

Liang Wensheng and Su Shaowen listened attentively, their eyes shining with Hua Qingxue's every move.

"Master, how far can this thing shoot?" Liang Wensheng could not help but raise doubts.

Hua Qingxue held a rifle in his hand and stretched out two fingers to measure the length of the barrel: "if you can make a piece of wrought iron the size of this bamboo tube, then the gunpowder will detonate, and the minimum range will be more than 80 steps."

"Wow! This is equivalent to the long-range shooting distance of a medium composite bow Liang Wensheng exclaimed and could not help but be happy: "if we have such weapons, the combat effectiveness of the army will certainly be improved a lot."

Su Shaowen nodded fiercely: "we have a master here. Qi's national service and people's strength are just around the corner."

Hua Qingxue laughed: "if rifles can be widely produced, then Qi's military strength will only rise to a higher level, from the cold weapons era to the hot weapons era. Of course, such a step must be decades away from other countries."

"Decades..." Su Shaowen and Liang Wensheng almost fell to the ground.

That would be a terrifying existence.

"Master, I can't wait to see the real rifle." Liang Wensheng stands up excitedly. The mold in Hua Qingxue's hand is only a semi-finished product. Only the trigger part is made by him before.

As the gun barrel requires more exquisite wrought iron technology, it is still in forging.

"Let me try again. I will forge a qualified barrel for the master." Liang Wensheng continued.

Hua Qingxue nodded: "no hurry. I want to wait until Li Jingnan comes next time and hand this thing to him personally."

At present, Li Jingnan's reply has not said that he would come out of the palace to see her. Although his body is no longer in a big way, Hua Qingxue is still worried. An unrealistic idea comes out. She subconsciously thinks that Li Jingnan is under some kind of threat, so she can't leave the Palace.

But the idea just flashed through my mind, because this situation would not exist.

Even if Zheng Shuwen was tyrannical again, she was after all the mother of Li Jingnan. However, with Fu tingye's support, I believe no one can shake him.

This thought of Hua Qingxue, a little comfort.

At the same time, Li Jingnan, who was trapped in the Qianqing palace, couldn't help sneezing. He reached out and rubbed the tip of his nose. The next moment, he saw Zheng Shuwen in full dress appear in front of him.

Zheng Shuwen often comes, but she always wears her usual clothes, or sometimes she comes in a simple cloak in the middle of the night.

This is the first time.

The Empress Dowager's guard of honor is full of more than 20 palace people, word by word, just like a ceremony.

Dressed in a long dress, Zheng Shuwen stepped up the steps with a gentle smile. She took out the key for the first time, opened the cage and walked to Li Jingnan.

"Nan'er, go with your mother." Zheng Shuwen said lightly.

Li Jingnan looked up at her. Zheng Shuwen's eyes were calm, like water, without half of the waves.

Almost thought, this must be a false queen mother.

"Mother, do you think clearly?" Li Jingnan did not get up, but asked in a deep voice.

Zheng Shuwen nodded: "the Empress Dowager only understands today that in this world, only Nan'er is the only relative of the mother."

Zheng's clan is just a wolf who plundered money through her position as the Empress Dowager.

Li Jingnan touched for a moment, stood up, followed Zheng Shuwen, and walked out.

Outside the porch eaves of the main hall, the sun was burning hot. For a moment, it spread on his pale face, and there was only warm feeling.

Wash gargle, change clothes, return to the main hall, once again inherit the great unification, smooth and shameless.

All the high-ranking people on duty in the harem came to worship. Naturally, Chen Yuan was in the front row of all the people in the palace. Chen Yuan saluted respectfully, but he was puzzled by the intention of the Empress Dowager."Well, you'll do your own business." Li Jingnan gave a light command, and the fat bean father-in-law on one side quickly sent it to him. After seeing the emperor, all the palace people withdrew one after another.

Zheng Shuwen accompanied her all the way. At the moment, she came out slowly from behind the bead curtain: "emperor, there is still a thorny matter for the imperial court to deal with now."

"What's the matter?" Li Jingnan asked softly.

"The prince of Liao bought the thunderbolt of China." Zheng Shuwen said: "the Empress Dowager pondered that in recent years, the imperial court of the state of Qi spent a lot of money, and the National Treasury was in deficit. Instead of leaving countless thunderbolts at home, we might as well sell them to the people of Liao."

"And then let Liao use these thunderbolts to knock open the gate of China's border?" Li Jingnan asked in response to the situation.

Zheng Shuwen was slightly stunned, which was also her worry: "we can sign a truce agreement with the prince of Liao. If he does not agree, we will not sell it."

"How can the deficit be filled?" Li Jingnan was a little disappointed, but at the same time, he realized that his freedom this time might have something to do with zhentianlei.

"This is also the mother's dilemma." Zheng Shuwen finally accepted.

At the beginning, the choice of dictatorship was not her wish, but after sitting in that supreme position, her mind changed with the trend. Now it is also a last resort to release Li Jingnan.

It involves the docking with Mrs. Si Bing and Fu tingye These two people can only buy Li Jingnan's account.

"Let the empress mother work. Let me talk to the general and his wife about this matter." Li Jingnan suggests that the attitude is moderate and gentle.

Zheng Shuwen is very satisfied, nodded: "good, good."

……

Fu tingye's choice of the test site is in a barren mountain between Shengjing and Hancheng. It is rare and quiet.

Hua Qingxue arrived after him in a carriage for a long time. Although it was hard work, the location was very satisfactory. According to the reports of spies sent by Fu tingye, there was no one in the area within ten miles. Therefore, no one would know if the whole mountain was flattened by new weapons.

"It's good. We'll fry it quickly, and then we can go back to another hospital after dinner." The air in the mountain is humid, and there is dense fog around. Hua Qingxue jumps down from the carriage and shrinks his neck when he is cold.

Fu tingye reaches forward and pulls her cloak. She puts on her hat, leaving her delicate white face exposed.

"Well, listen to you." Fu tingye said faintly, and then looked at the bodyguard on one side.

The bodyguard understood that he climbed up with the new round thunderbolt. After a short time, he had reached the mountainside position of the opposite mountain.

The red flag is shaking in the thick forest. The commander on Fu tingye's side also waves the flag to respond. Everything is ready.

The commander asked Fu tingye what he meant. Fu tingye did not speak and nodded.

The commander took out the yellow flag and shook it for a moment. At the next moment, the red flag on the opposite hillside responded, followed closely. The huge explosion came from the gully, flying sand and rocks, and flying dust.

Fu tingye and Hua Qingxue have already stood far enough. They still feel the ground shaking. If it wasn't for mutual support, they would not be able to stand.

"General! Let's move quickly. We don't need to try the two in the back. I'm afraid the mountain will collapse because the mountain is unstable. "

Qin Laowu, a worried man, came forward to warn him.

Hua Qingxue grabs Fu tingye's cuff: "yes, general, the mountains are surrounded here, and the structure of the rocks is not sure whether it is firm or not. There is a possibility of collapse. Now that we have seen the power, let's withdraw it. "

Fu tingye nodded: "good."

When a group of people evacuated in a hurry and returned to the plain pipeline, the place where they had just tried to explode was still full of smoke and dust.

Even in the clouds above, there are visions.

"General, this is the change brought about by the purification of gunpowder. The configuration and dosage are the same as those of the old model, but you can see that the power has been improved a lot." Hua Qingxue stands by Fu tingye's side and guesses what he thinks in his heart.

Fu tingye looks dignified, but he is also gratified: "it is three times as powerful as before."

"General! It's more than three times! In our opinion, it must be ten times. If this kind of thing is used to deal with Liao's iron horse, only one will be enough. " Qin Laowu and haishixuan coaxed at one side: "yes, madam, I don't think I need to worry about it any more. If any country doesn't follow the rules, I will send him one in the past to make sure that they can't bear it."

Hua Qingxue smiles and doesn't answer.

Fu tingye's eyes are sharp. He sweeps the two people and stops talking.

On the way back, Hua Qingxue somehow felt that Fu tingye had something on his mind. When he was on the way to rest, he came to Fu tingye and asked, "are you hiding something from me?"

Fu tingye eyebrows move, slightly surprised to look at her.

There are many things to hide Which one does Madame mean.

Hua Qingxue looks at his expression of being caught by the scene and immediately forgets his next line.This guy! There's something to hide from her!
