The corners of Cao Zhen's mouth rose slightly, and it was rare to show a hint of a smile, and then he made a salute to retire, and at the same time sent someone to send three hundred Zhao soldiers to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites arranged for the three hundred Zhao soldiers to return to China.

Zhao Ke has always disliked black, but he can follow the local customs, there is no way, he can only follow the main color of the Great Qin Dynasty, but the silver phoenix crown has not been changed, after bathing and changing, Zhao Ke went to Ganquan Palace and met the queen Yang Xiao.

Since the concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, and concubines of Jia, the four concubines were all in Ganquan Palace, Zhao Ke met the four Qin concubines in Ganquan Palace, and after a period of conversation and greetings, Zhao Ke finally understood the situation of the concubines in the harem, and the concubines in the harem also roughly understood Zhao Ke.

In the eyes of Yang Xiao and other concubines, Zhao Ke is a scheming, generous beauty, behaving and doing things, every move, is elegant and dignified, and the concubine Tang Hua couldn't help but praise her a few words, but I have to say that the eldest princess Yingbei is also there, and Yingbei doesn't seem to like this new mother, looking at this new mother, the eyes are full of vigilance!

Goden!

In the imperial study, Ying Chang was sitting on the carved dragon throne to review the piles of twists and turns on the imperial case, which looked like a hill, which made Ying Chang feel a lot of pressure, and his expression showed a tired look, and he longed for a doppelganger to summon thousands of himself to deal with the government.

Pei Ji, who was grinding ink on the side, saw that Yingchang was slightly tired, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Your Majesty, you have been reviewing for three hours in a row, do you want to rest first?" ”

"What a break, hurry up and grind your ink, it's almost enough!" Ying Chang said without turning his head, continued to look through the folds, and wrote down a sentence of cinnabar criticism.

After a quarter of an hour's rest, the mountain will grow one layer taller, and Yingchang doesn't want to see it, and the imperial study is full of folds.

"Yes!" Pei Ji continued to polish the ink for Yingchang to review and read.

Trample... Trample...

At this time, a sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and Ying Chang said directly without raising his head while reviewing the folds: "What's the matter, if there is a fart, let it go, I don't have time to say so much!" ”

The person who came was Cao Zhen, who had just come back from Bixiao Palace, Cao Zhen walked three steps in front of the imperial case with a big stride meteor pace, and then bent down respectfully to make a report: "Your Majesty, the sixth princess of Dazhao has entered the palace, and the minister took her to Bixiao Palace, I believe that at this time, the six princesses should meet the ladies of the major palaces in Ganquan Palace!" ”

After listening to these words, Ying Chang's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he still carefully reviewed the folds, and while reviewing the folds, he said: "Pass on my oracle, canonize Zhao Ke, the sixth princess of Great Zhao, as Concubine Ning of the third grade, and enter Concubine Ning into the royal family in the Ministry of Rites!" ”

Zhao Ke is the princess of the Zhao royal family, and the concubine position naturally cannot be given too low.

"The minister will immediately go and pass on His Majesty's message!" Cao Zhen responded with a respectful and solemn expression.

Cao Zhen came and went in a hurry, and soon left the imperial study, while Yingchang and Pei Ji continued to work political affairs and swam freely in the folded sea!

At the same time, twenty miles north of Xianyang City, the weapon test site!

In the weapons test field, a large dark artillery is fixed in a red line, 500 steps away from the red line there is a wall as high as one zhang, three feet thick, behind the wall there are more than a dozen puppets, the red line is 4,100 steps away and 1,500 steps away, each has a wall, a wall 1,000 steps away is one zhang high, four feet thick, a thousand miles away the wall height is one zhang, five feet thick!

Next to the dark artillery, there stood the ordnance commander Fang Zi and twenty armorers, all of whom were checking the status of the artillery.

The size of this gun is much larger than the previous test of the No. 1 gun, and the shape has also changed, the front of the gun carriage has two large iron wheels, it is estimated that these two large iron wheels are thousands of pounds, there are two oblique large iron brackets behind the gun carriage, and there are several small holes on the left and right sides of the two large iron brackets, which are used to fix the nail holes of the artillery.

"Zheng Yue, immediately report the data of the Wu Shihuan artillery!" Fang Zi said with a solemn expression.

The fact that the No. 1 Zero One Gun has become the Wu Shi Gun is enough to prove that the Ordnance Department has tested 54 artillery tests, and it is clear that these tests have failed, and the additional budget of one million taels of silver for the Ministry of Ordnance has also been used up.

If the Wu Shifu artillery test is successful and reaches the expected goal of the twenty armorers including Fang Zi, then it can be directly mass-produced, if it fails, it will have to go to the military department again to ask for a budget, in fact, whether it succeeds or fails, Fang Zi has to ask for a budget.

Without it, the cost of an artillery piece is too high, and now it is the end of the year, and the overall budget of the Ordnance Department has been almost used, so no matter whether it fails or succeeds, it is necessary to ask for a budget, but the difference is that one is high-spirited and the other is disgraced.

Zheng Yue, who was standing not far away, heard Fang Zi's order, immediately lowered his head, looked at the notebook in his hand, and read the contents of the notebook vigorously:

"Artillery code name Wu Shixuan!"

"Barrel length: two feet and eight feet!"

"Barrel caliber: four fingers and two sections!"

"The total length of the cannon body: four feet and eight feet!"

"Gun mount height: one zhang!"

"The weight of the whole gun: 30,000 catties!"

There is a huge difference between the Wu Shi Shi gun and the Zero No. 1 gun, the barrel of the No. 0 No. 1 gun is two feet, and the gun carriage is only six feet, compared to less than one-third of the gun barrel on the gun carriage, this kind of gun barrel is long, the gun carriage is short, and it can not withstand the rear thrust when the gun is fired.

After repeated tests and improvements, the length of the gun carriage reached two zhang, the barrel was two zhang and eight feet, and only a small half of the barrel exceeded the gun carriage.

The total length of the gun body is four feet and eight feet, what is the concept of four feet and eight feet? If it is erected, it can be climbed up to a five-zhang high wall, and the Wu Shixuan cannon can definitely be counted as a behemoth, and its weight is also appalling, 30,000 catties, absolutely terrifying!

In addition to the increase in weight and size, the caliber of the barrel has also increased by a finger!

"Qi Qi order, there is no abnormality in the barrel of the Wu Shixian artillery!"

"Qi Qi Fang Order, there is no abnormality in the artillery carriage of Wu Shixi!"

"Qi Qi Fang Order, Wu Shi Shi Shi Artillery ....."

After repeated inspections of half a column of incense, they finally concluded that there was no abnormality in the whole gun of the Wu Shi Shi gun, and the gun test could be carried out!

"The first flat-fire test of the Wu Shi gun has begun!" Fang Zi ordered with a solemn expression!
