Chapter 1208: Experimental Weapons

Outside the city, there is a weapon test site, although it is not capable of launching a new round of foreign wars now, but the development of weapons and other technologies cannot be stopped, but fortunately, this part has not been hit too seriously in the hands of Xuanyuan Min.

Now in the experiment of the latest research and development of artillery, this artillery has a range of ten kilometers, and the range is enough, but when Zhang Fan saw this artillery, he had a headache, so the huge artillery body only has a range of ten kilometers, and one or two shells in an hour, such a speed is not good, and such a behemoth has no way to pass through the main road.

Later generations used tractors to transport artillery, not to mention a few tons, dozens of tons are no problem, but now it is still an era of relying on horse-drawn carriages.

"The artillery is so big, people can't pull it, the carriage can't pull it, your rail track has to be promoted, now in Rongdi has captured millions of prisoners, and all efforts are made to build this track, and the new steel has been successfully developed, and now the state has purchased a large number of steel rails, but you still can't get this thing, it must be miniaturized, and at this speed, this thing is not enough to scare people. Zhang Fan commented and said.

At present, this weapons research institute is improving the existing equipment, because it cannot be compared with the outside world's technology, many things are not available at all, and there is no way to get hands on large equipment without making a lathe.

Now the main thing is that there is no money, it is good to have money, now you can only catch prisoners in the name of the state, and then directly start the first simple railroad train from Qingzhou to Tongguan to transport weapons and equipment, such a behemoth, such a thing The carriage can't be pulled, but can only pass through the railroad, and the train only goes to the principle of steam starting, this thing Zhang Fan provided drawings but some elites can get it.

Ying'er reminded that the world inside has become faster, and Zhang Fan has not noticed it, that is to say, in a few years, it may have been a year outside, that is, the whole world has changed after the strange weather.

But it is not clear how many pieces it has become, and only people like Zhang Fan, who was born and raised outside, can feel that if it weren't for this flood, a new round of foreign wars would be launched next year, but now, they are still recuperating.

The national geological mining team entered all parts of the country, they all helped Zhang Fan find gold, they carried Zhang Fan's hope, once they can find a large gold mine, then Zhang Fan will have money, and they will be able to launch a war to unify Kyushu.

It has never been Zhang Fan's habit to be reckless, and now he has no money, so he can only be in a hurry, mainly because of the lack of money, money is really a good thing.

Now Huaxia is developing in full force, and other places don't know, once there is money, even if it encounters a level like Tongtianguan in the future, it will be directly destroyed by artillery fire, and now the impact of a full-scale war is too great, it will affect the whole country, so everyone is preparing for this war, but it is not easy to start.

Everyone knows the consequences of losing the war, and now the whole country is in the process of rebuilding, especially this big flood, the losses are huge, now the weapons and equipment are enough, but in the past few years there is not enough food to eat, where is there any surplus to start a war.

Qingzhou harem, except for Zhang Fan today, everyone else has returned here, no matter how busy they are, as long as they are in Qingzhou, this is the rule, whether it is Xiaoyun or Liu Qingwu, it will always appear on time.

"It's so annoying, my husband borrowed money from me again, I didn't hit the IOU, I asked for so much money, it's easy for me to make money, I was not happy to let him win the project for me last time, and finally handed it over to someone else, and now I want money, just ask for me!" sat down angrily, and couldn't hide things in his heart.

Now the richest person here is her, how many minerals Xiaoyun has in her hands, how many shops no one knows, and Liu Qingwu is also rich, because she is involved in many projects, but the main body is Xiaoyun, and the national money bank is the state, although the individual has a little share, but the key money bank does not have much cash.

So if you want money, you can only find Xiaoyun, she has a lot of cash, who is she looking for?, now Zhang Fan is running around every day, and he has very little time to eat at home, and he can't see anyone.

Everyone knows that he is in a hurry to start a war, and has prepared for the war, the key is money, and now there are a large number of prisoners in Qingzhou, working day and night every day, and the casualties are also very large.

So many people die every day, this county lord is also a little distressed, although he is a big man of Rong Di, but he is also a human being, now because of the limitations of various conditions, and do not treat them as people, now there is no other goal except for the start of the construction period.

Such a thick steel rail is actually carried by people, and the slightest disobedience will be killed, and it is rumored that this time a million prisoners were directly mobilized to trim this tracked road, and the prisoners captured in Rongdi have been millions.

If you catch it again, I'm afraid that the children and the old people will have to be arrested, and the old people will be killed directly, and the children will not be wanted, so you want such young people and women, beautiful women, beautiful women always have a market, there are many such women in the Red Mansion in Qingzhou, without any income, and they have to receive so many guests a day.

Not only millions of Rong Di prisoners, but also Ningyuan Ningsui, who was the most severely affected in China, also showed a large number of laborers, but it was a payment method, and some people were homeless, so they could only come to work as coolies, although there was no danger to their lives, and the protection was a little more, but they also earned a lot of hardship.

That thing is really not done by people, now people who lack money want to have a job, and a large number of refugees directly joined the construction work, Tongguan Qingzhou started construction at both ends, and then because the technology has reached, two hundred miles in front of Tongguan, Qingzhou Middle Position also began to start.

Now the price of grain on the market is a bit high, before the import of a batch of grain in Yangzhou, but now Yangzhou and China are hostile relations, now mobilize so many laborers, every day to eat and drink is a large amount of money, now all departments are looking for food, in addition to using cattle and sheep to replace, there is also in Liangzhou to find food.

The food at home is not bad, but the three of them can't eat much big fish and meat together, that is, Xiaoyun likes to eat a little meat, and it is just a little limited, whether it is Liu Qingwu or this county lord, they all seem to like to drink some gruel.

Now there are only two maids around this county lord, and the palace is so huge now, but there are about thirty palace maids inside, all of whom are necessary to maintain the palace, and the others and other eunuchs have been sent back.

The palace also needs to cut expenses, and what can be done is generally done by itself, mainly because of the lack of money, the outside countries are short of money, and there is no need for the palace to increase expenses, although the palace is not short of money, whether it is Xiaoyun or Liu Qingwu, there is money to support the palace, even if this county lord, she inherited the palace in Qingzhou before, if she sells some things, she will still have some money.

"Now the country is facing a particularly huge financial pressure, first of all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiaqingguan, although now it can be self-sufficient, but the necessary training, weapons and equipment are needed money, and now the main arteries of the country are building roads, this money is basically given by the state, which also requires a lot of money. ”

"Coupled with this track road, now the country is not only short of money, but also lack of food, Ningyuan was a large grain producer before, and now it needs the state to help, and now relying on our reserves of food, I am afraid it is really not enough to eat. Liu Qingwu said a few words.

"Then eat beef and mutton, they are all quite delicious, why don't you eat them?" Xiaoyun replied, that is, she married Zhang Fan and lived the life of a big family, but it is good for ordinary people to have whole grains, how can they afford to eat mutton and beef?

Xiao Yun saw the two sisters look over, and she didn't know what she said wrong, she could eat it anyway, and she wasn't picky, seeing that both of them looked over, Xiao Yun didn't dare to talk nonsense.

The little hand still has such a big diamond, of course, it was also given to the two sisters, but they still look a little more elegant, and they are not as fanfare as she is, for fear that others will not know that she has such a big diamond.

"You should go out with the county horse. This county lord looked over, he didn't bring women with him, how could he have an heir if he didn't bring a woman, and Liu Qingwu couldn't stand that kind of travel fatigue, but Xiao Yun had no problem.

"Do you think I don't want to go out, I'm also very busy, okay, I still have to think about making money, otherwise who will borrow money from him, and, and he won't let me follow, saying I'm in the way, hum, I'm angry!" Xiao Yun took the rice bowl, and then looked at the dishes on the table, the first thing was to do something to the fish.

After coming back, Zhang Fan looked more calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, but once he offended him, the consequences were also very serious, the most obvious thing was that this time the demon queen didn't expect to kill so many people, and also released this county lord, otherwise the family would not have a way to eat together.

Although there is a carriage and a big passage now, it is still very tiring for Liu Qingwu to go to other places on a business trip, and if he goes to Jizhou and other places, Liu Qingwu is afraid that his body will not be able to stand it.

And Xiaoyun doesn't have much of a problem even if she goes to Jiaqing Pass, I'm afraid that her body is the best here, she is worthy of being a learner, and she is worthy of being an apprentice of Daoyun Daochang.

Now the three of them will also discuss what happened outside, but for Zhang Fan's refusal to take a concubine, this county lord is under a lot of pressure, and she is infamous, and Liu Qingwu is Zhang Fan's big house, and now some people will say her, but no one has ever said that Xiaoyun is not, she is just the third princess, where does the relationship with her come from, mainly the matter of the two women.
