Lu Luo agreed with the Guangdehou Mansion that he would help them calculate the location of the missing person on the first day of the winter month.

The price has been negotiated.

In the past, when there was a business, Lu Luo always had to ask her master to come forward, because when she was in Huzhou Mansion, no one believed that she was a little girl.

Now, Lu Luo is the fiancée of Marquis Zhongwu, and she seems to have a lot of credibility suddenly.

Knowing this, Lu Luo had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Yan Xun's horse, how can you repay him for this favor?" Lu Luo was also pondering.

Yan Xun is a soldier, if he can have advanced weapons, he should be very happy, and it is also very practical.

Assault muskets, firecrackers and other weapons came out in the Yuan Dynasty, but they were relatively simple, the power was very small, and the range was very short, and it was easy to injure oneself, so it was not used on a large scale in the army.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, with the development of iron-smelting technology, the barrel of the assault rifle was made of bronze, which could withstand higher chamber pressure, and China's thermal weapons entered a new era.

"In the Ming Dynasty's Shenji Battalion, there were relatively mature firecrackers and thunderbolts, which were all improved on the basis of the Yuan Dynasty's firecrackers and assault guns, I want to try it." Lu Luo thought to himself.

If she can succeed, she can not only give Yan Xun a great favor, but also open the era of hot weapons in China in advance. Perhaps she will make more far-reaching changes to the course of Chinese history.

Today's assault rifles use thick bamboo pipes as cannon barrels. Everyone knows that iron pipes are better than bamboo pipes, but can the iron smelting technology keep up?

Lu Luo planned to go out and find out.

"The weapons of the imperial court are under the jurisdiction of the Ordnance Bureau under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry and the War Bureau under the supervision of the Internal Government Supervision Bureau. If only I could go and see it. Lu Luo thought to himself.

She wondered how far the main weapon in the army was now, where the development of weapons had been.

In the evening, the uncle's approval of red ended, and he returned to the mansion from the palace, and Lu Luo immediately stepped forward to offer courtesy, serving tea and water.

Wen Lexi smiled: "What's the matter, it's a trouble?" ”

"I'm not a child, what's the trouble?" Lu Luo smiled, "Uncle, can you take me to the Weapons Bureau and the War Bureau?" ”

Wen Lexi was stunned.

These two places. They are all weapons makers. If the leading general asks to see it, it may be more sensitive and make the courtiers uneasy.

However, Wen Lexi is a eunuch. He also wanted to check it out. The courtiers may think that he is just trying to make money and water.

"What are you doing here?" Wen Lexi did not immediately refuse. asked Lu Luo with a smile.

Did Yan Xun ask her to see it?

His granddaughter has been used by Yan Xun?

Wen Lexi looked at Lu Luo's expression carefully, wanting to get a glimpse of the clues on her face. Find a promise.

Lu Luo was very frank and told Wen Lexi his thoughts: "There are people in Huzhou Mansion who take seafood, and I have seen a kind of fire gun in the hands of those merchants."

"That's not seafood." Wen Lexi immediately knew what Lu Luo was talking about, the Nanzhao Kingdom in the south tried to use it, Wen Lexi knew very well, "That was what was done in the previous dynasty, it was useless, and it had some effect occasionally, and it was not enough to put in the effort." ”

"Doesn't the imperial court make it?" Lu Luo asked again.

"Gunpowder and projectiles, one accidentally burned himself. Someone in the south used it, but the soldiers didn't hurt anyone, but blew their eyes blind first. If you can really blow your head off, you will have to study it if you blow up your blind eyes. But on the contrary, it can only be blown up, which is similar to a big artillery battle. Wen Le smiled happily.

This kind of thing, let's say it's useless, it can occasionally knock people down; Let's say it's useful, but it can only blow up the blind eye, and no one can be killed.

In Wen Lexi's words, the tricks are tricky and useless, so it is better to use those gunpowder well in the artillery battle, and it can still be lively.

"Uncle, you can take me to the Weapons Bureau and the War Bureau to have a look, I am a child, what are you afraid of?" Lu Luo is coquettish.

Her uncle has just returned from the south, and he has been away from Beijing for seven years, and he must not have been to the Ordnance Bureau.

Lu Luo is coquettish and cute.

Wen Lexi hurts her to death, where is she willing to refuse her?

Wen Lexi is a palm print eunuch, the little emperor is less than ten years old, he helps deal with the government affairs, there are many pieces mentioned in the Ordnance Bureau, Wen Lexi excuses to understand, what can I do if I go on a trip?

No one can fault him.

When the time comes, let Lu Luo dress up as a little eunuch and serve behind him.

In this way, it is possible.

The next day, Wen Lexi entered the palace and told the Queen Mother Nie about it first.

"It's nothing important, right, is it difficult to deal with the Ordnance Bureau?" Empress Dowager Nie was a little worried, thinking that Wen Lexi was in trouble.

"It's not a fold, if there is, it will also be handed over to the cabinet, how can it bother the Queen Mother?" Wen Lexi smiled, "However, the Queen Mother, you pretend not to know, and the slave maid will go without permission." ”

He just told the Empress Dowager Nie about it, so that the Empress Dowager Nie would have the bottom in her heart, lest she hear about it from the side, doubt his intentions, and alienate their trust.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Nie bowed slightly: "You are the palm print eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, and there is no place where you can't go." ”

After the little emperor went down, Wen Lexi told him again.

"Father-in-law, I want to go too." The little emperor said, "I have never seen what the Armory Bureau is like. ”

The emperor is still young, the ministers of the cabinet assist the government, the Yan family and the Nie family have ministers, and the descendants control the court, and the little emperor never dares to walk indiscriminately.

However, Wen Lexi never advocated that he be cautious in his words and deeds.

Sometimes, it's just a temptation. From time to time, the little emperor did something out of the ordinary to test the reaction of the ministers and the inner palace.

The more temptations you make, the easier and clearer you are to see people's hearts.

"If you go, you have to go quietly and change into the clothes of a little eunuch, is Your Majesty willing to surrender to your dignity?" Wen Lexi said to the little emperor.

The little emperor clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, I haven't worn the clothes of the little eunuch for a long time. ”

So, they agreed and went to the Ordnance Bureau the next day.

The Ordnance Bureau is in the Ministry of Engineering, just near the Imperial City, just out of the door, nothing serious.

Wen Lexi went home and told Lu Luo about it, and also brought the clothes of a little eunuch to Lu Luo.

Lu Luo was overjoyed.

At the beginning of Shen the next day, Lu Luo went to the vicinity of the imperial city and waited for his uncle.

Seeing the little eunuch following behind Wen Lexi, his steps were light and very happy, he was actually the emperor.

Lu Luo hesitated whether to salute, and the little emperor had already said, "No courtesy, don't reveal my identity." ”

"Yes." Lu Luo also felt that it was inappropriate to salute, so he followed Wen Lexi and the little emperor to the Ordnance Bureau.

The officials of the Ordnance Bureau, when they saw that Wen Lexi was coming, thought that they had made some big mistake, and led Wen Lexi to visit the Ordnance Bureau with trepidation.

Lu Luo also found that they were indeed cold weapons, and no hot weapons had yet been formed.

There are already firearms, but the Arsenal Bureau of the Imperial Court has not stored them, and in the Armaments Bureau, there are still some armor, shields, knives, guns, bows, arrows, spears, etc.

The more powerful one is a three-arrow crossbow.

Lu Luo thought that at least there would be a fire gun made of thick bamboo tubes, but it turned out that he didn't even have this kind of primary hot weapon.

"I can finally return the favor to Yan Xun." Lu Luo thought to himself.

She can give Yan Xun the idea of the fire gun, and let Yan Xun report to the court again.

Even if the imperial court does not agree to build it, Yan Xun can also make a small amount within the allowable range to improve the combat effectiveness of his Yan family's army.
