Revolvers are similar to revolvers, but not automatic.

The turntable can be loaded with six bullets, and each shot fired must be turned by hand.

The real automatic revolver appeared only in 1835, but the revolver appeared earlier in Europe.

Although it requires manual rotation when firing a gun, it is also much faster to fire six shots than to reload a bullet.

After Zhu Youzhen saw the revolver, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

This thing is extremely lethal at close range, and it is much more advanced than the flintlock short gun.

"Who made this revolver, it's very good, I like it, and it will be mass-produced immediately after the New Year, and it will be equipped for the Dragon Banner Army and special forces first."

Zhao Shizhen replied to Zhu Youzhen:

"Back to Your Majesty, this is developed by Lao Chen according to the drawings you provided, and later completed with the help of Bi Lao and Lord Song, it can be said that it is the masterpiece of the three of us."

Song Yingxing:

"Your Majesty, now that the gunpowder has been improved, the revolver is very lethal at a distance of fifteen paces, and it is only suitable for self-defense."

Bi Maokang also smiled and said:

"That's right, it can't be compared with rifled guns in combat, and it can't be mass-produced."

Zhu Youzhen laughed:

"There is no problem, as long as the quality is passable, it will definitely be mass-produced, I decided to prepare it for the army."

The trio gave up again:

"Obey"

Leaving the arsenal, Zhu Youzhen and A Qing went to Changping non-stop.

He wants to check how the crops are growing in the greenhouse.

Half a month has passed, he has not been here, under normal circumstances, it is estimated that the sweet potatoes should have produced small sweet potatoes.

The two jumped off their horses in front of the greenhouse, and found that the temperature in the greenhouse where the sweet potatoes were planted was high, and there was not even snow on the roof of the shed.

Lifting the curtain of the door and entering Dapeng, what appeared in front of me was a piece of green, and it was another scene in this snowy world.

Ah Qing couldn't help but admire:

"Lord, it's so beautiful here!"

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly:

"It's pretty, you can eat this thing."

"Sir, you're here, let's see what the temperature is like in the greenhouse? The soil seems to be cracking, and we're getting ready to water! ”

At this time, a few more people came in from outside, and the guards also walked quickly.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the people who came and found that there were two farm officials, which surprised him a little.

"Why are you here?"

The two officials laughed:

"Hehe, we've been staying with the soldiers and want to see when the sweet potatoes will bear fruit."

It seems that these two are still very attentive, and Zhu Youzhen can't help but look at them a few more times.

"What's your two names?"

"I, Zhang Gui and Li Fu, hope that Mr. will give me more advice."

The two were very humble, how did they know that their name had been remembered by the emperor.

Zhu Youzhen walked to the sweet potato field and squatted down, stretched out his hand to pick up the sweet potato vine, and sure enough, he found that the ground had cracked.

"It's normal for the ground to crack, which means that the sweet potatoes inside have grown."

As soon as his mind moved, a small shovel appeared in his hand, digging through the dirt in three or two strokes.

Sure enough, a pile of fist-sized sweet potatoes appeared in front of everyone.

"Oh my God, such a beautiful sweet potato, this grows so fast, it's incredible......"

When everyone saw the sweet potatoes appearing in the soil, they all exclaimed in surprise, and looked at Zhu Youzhen's gaze as if they were looking at a fairy.

Zhu Youzhen didn't cover the sweet potatoes with soil, he directly dug out the pile of sweet potatoes.

"Although the sweet potatoes are not yet ripe, they are already very good, you can taste them."

Before Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, more than a dozen sweet potatoes were snatched away by them, and even Ah Qing took one.

Li Gui wiped the mud off the sweet potato with his hand, and opened his mouth to take a big bite:

"Well, it's delicious, it's crisp and sweet, it's a good thing, I just don't know how the yield is?"

Zhu Youzhen looked down at the cracked ground at the roots of the sweet potatoes, then looked at the sweet potatoes in their hands and said:

"Sweet potatoes grown in this environment are roughly estimated to yield no less than 5,000 catties per mu."

"Plop Plop Plop ......"

Before Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, several people inside sat on the ground with a shocked ass.

They all looked at Zhu Youzhen with incredulous eyes.

"How is it possible, the maximum yield of rice is 400 catties per mu is already the limit, and these 5,000 catties are ......"

Zhu You glanced at them:

"What's all the fuss, we'll see in half a month.

Not only can it be eaten raw, but it can also be mixed with rice to make porridge, or it can be eaten roasted.

If you don't believe it, I'll show you now, Ah Qing will give me the sweet potato. ”

Zhu Youzhen took the sweet potato handed by A Qing, and put the sweet potato in the brazier under the strange gaze of those people.

In less than half a column of incense, an enticing fragrance came out.

Zhu Youzhen picked up the roasted sweet potato, peeled off the skin and took a bite, feeling good and handed it to Ah Qing.

"How about A-Qing's taste?"

Ah Qing took the sweet potato and felt so hot, so he blew first and then carefully took a small bite.

An indescribable delicacy went down her throat and into her stomach, and Ah Qingqiao's face became more delicate, and she was surprised by her long mouth:

"Hmm...... Nice, super tasty...... You can't do that! ”

The others couldn't stand the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, so they reached out and grabbed Ah Qing's roasted sweet potatoes and ate them.

"Ah Qing girl, let's taste it first, and then bake it for you later, haha......"

"Oh my God, this tastes really delicious, the people of Daming are blessed, if it really yields 5,000 catties per mu......"

Several people sighed while eating roasted sweet potatoes, almost falling into madness.

Ah Qing glared at a few people angrily, snatched the sweet potatoes in their hands and put them in the brazier.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, secretly feeling happy for those people in his heart.

Fortunately, Ah Qing didn't go crazy, otherwise they would definitely not be able to eat and walk.

Worried that a few people would often come to steal food, Zhu Youzhen specially warned them a few words.

"Now that the sweet potatoes are not ripe, you can't eat them often, otherwise I will never give you the sweet potato planting techniques and seeds, have you heard?"

"Sir, don't worry, we know the severity, and these soldiers won't let us steal food."

After a dozen roasted sweet potatoes were baked, Zhu Youzhen and A Qing also ate one each, and then left Changping.

Soon it was time for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Zhu Youjian specially asked the imperial dining room to cook more meals.

The palace maids and eunuchs, including Qin Huai Bayan, all gathered in the side hall today for a big meal.

There were fewer people in the palace than before, and in order to make the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner more atmospheric, Zhu Youjian broke the convention.

Ordered someone to call Lao Wang, A Qing Ruyan and the princesses to the Qianqing Palace, and he and everyone gathered together.

Zhu Youzhen sat on the main seat, the three princesses and A Qing Ruyan sat on his left and right, the four Xiaohua sat next to him, and Wang Chengen sat on the bottom.

It was the first time for Sixiahua to see Ruyan, but looking at the seat, she knew that her status was higher than that of the four, and the little flowers all looked at the delicate Ruyan with surprised eyes.

Zhu Youzhen knew what the little flowers were thinking, so he smiled:

"This is your eldest sister Ruyan, you must get along in harmony, you must not be jealous and jealous, today I will crown the five of you as nobles."

Finally famous, the four little flowers were as happy as four delicate peonies, and hurriedly knelt down to thank you:

"Thank you for the reward, we must live in harmony with my sister."

Although Ruyan also knelt on the ground to thank her, she wanted to refuse the emperor's kindness.

"If you are like smoke, Your Majesty Longen, the concubine does not need a name, as long as she can wait by your side!"

"It's all flat, don't shirk, I've made up my mind, let's eat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

If you don't dare to refuse, otherwise you will be disrespectful.

The old king, who was loyal to the Ming royal family, would never have thought of it anyway.

As a royal servant, he was actually able to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the emperor and the princesses and concubines of the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, and he was extremely emotional in his heart:

"This should be the best treatment for eunuchs, it seems that our eggs are not cut in vain!"
