Everything was purchased, even gunpowder and lead bullet for arquebus firing were bought, but there was one thing that could not be solved.

Gunsmith.

There are three places in the imperial court to make firearms, namely the Ordnance Bureau, Wang Gong Factory, and the Military War Bureau.

Every craftsman who was able to make firearms, gunsmiths, gunsmiths, gunpowder makers, etc., was recorded.

It is difficult for the people to find a gunsmith who makes a bird, and even if a gunsmith is found, it is a violation of the laws of the Ming Dynasty to build a bird's gun privately.

Wang Youzhen sat in the fence, looking at the pile of materials and ten bird guns in front of him, and was in trouble for a while.

"One-two-one!"

"One-two-one!"

"Stand upright!"

At this time, Wang Laipin took eleven Jiangwutang students to complete the five-kilometer cross-country and took them back for dinner.

On the dinner table.

Wang Laipin held a big bowl of meat porridge, looked at Wang Youzhen with a sad face and asked, "Da'er, what happened to make you sad for a few days." ”

Wang Youzhen looked at a bird gun beside him, sighed and said, "I want to transform these arquebuses into more advanced flintlock guns. ”

"All the materials were bought, but I couldn't find a craftsman to modify the arquebus."

After hearing this, Wang Laipin smiled, drank all the small half bowl of meat porridge in one gulp, and said, "What should the third uncle do?" ”

"It's really hard to find a gunsmith, but it's much easier to build a gunsmith, and you have one in front of you."

When Wang Youzhen heard this, the expression on his face turned from gloomy to sunny, and he looked at the third uncle with a smile.

Wang Laipin saw Wang Youzhen's eyes, knew what his nephew meant, waved his big hand and said, "Da'er, you misunderstood." ”

"It's not the third uncle who can build the bird's gun, it's the grandson of the Jiao patriarch."

"You also know that in addition to the capital, each of the two capitals and thirteen provinces has an ordnance bureau, and Liaodong is no exception."

"When Patriarch Jiao was a soldier at the border pass, he was a gunsmith who made birds."

Wang Laipin paused when he said this, pointed to a young man who was drinking porridge and said, "After Patriarch Jiao came back from the border pass, he passed on this craft to Jiao Miao. ”

Wang Youzhen's gaze immediately shifted from the third uncle, Wang Laipin, to the wooden boy.

Jiao Miao's figure was very thin, but he wore a wide linen right coat, which felt like a monkey wearing a robe.

Usually very wooden, rarely communicate with other people.

It's always a person's wooden drills, and a person's wooden drinking porridge.

When Jiao Miao drank the porridge, he seemed to be afraid that others would notice him, and almost covered his entire face on the stoneware bowl.

Suddenly, he felt as if someone was watching him, and his action of drinking porridge became very stiff, like a wooden man drinking porridge with a bowl.

After these few days, Wang Youzhen has a better understanding of his character.

He didn't stop him immediately, because once he was stopped, it was estimated that he would not be able to drink the bowl of porridge.

When the porridge was finished, Wang Laiping took the others out for the rest of the exercises.

Wang Youzhen stopped Jiao Miao at this time: "Listen to the third uncle, you will build a bird." ”

Jiao Miao's eyes dodged, not daring to look directly at Wang Youzhen, and nodded quickly when he heard Wang Youzhen's question.

Wang Youzhen received Jiao Miao's affirmation, turned around and walked to his thatched hut, to get a piece of mulberry paper that had been prepared a long time ago.

The mulberry paper depicts how the arquebus was modified to become a second-generation flintlock pistol.

Wang Youzhen casually handed over the mulberry paper to Jiao Miao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "These ten arquebuses will be handed over to you." ”

Jiao Miao's hands and feet stiffly took the mulberry paper, and wanted to give it to Wang Youzhen, but when he came this time, his grandfather explained again and again, and many people were not to blame.

But when he had just made a gesture, he rarely came into contact with people, forgetting that he didn't know how to salute.

Jiao Miao froze in place, and the expression on his face became extremely nervous.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Wang Youzhen smiled and turned around and left here.

Jiao Miao saw that Wang Youzhen left first, breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked home.

Wang Youzhen, who left here, couldn't have imagined that this piece of mulberry paper, which required a large number of gunsmiths to ponder for a month or two, Jiao Miao only glanced at it and understood how to transform it.

Jiao Miao walked home not for anything else, there were tools to make the bird gun at home, and he went home and started to transform the bird gun.

The next day.

Wang Youzhen, who had been circling around the water-powered spinning factory, had just walked to the thatched house of Jiangwutang when he saw Jiao Miao holding an arquebus to fire.

When he noticed the way the arquebus fired, it was still an arquebus, and it was clearly a modified second-generation flintlock pistol.

When Wang Youzhen took out this mulberry paper, he was ready to wait for a month or two.

But what he didn't expect was.

Actually on the next day.

Only one day later, Jiao Miao transformed the arquebus into a flintlock pistol.

This speed is not amazing, it is simply shocking.

Jiao Miao heard the movement behind him, turned his head and saw Wang Youzhen, and a wooden smile appeared on his face.

Wang Youzhen became very serious, looked at Jiao Miao solemnly and said, "Follow me." ”

Jiao Miao didn't know what was going on, he was frightened by this expression on the spot, and hurriedly followed.

The next thing is extremely important to Wang Youzhen, and it can even be said that it is important.

It is also of great significance to the process of the industrial revolution in the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Youzhen's mind was full of thinking about one thing, and he didn't notice the panic on Jiao Miao's face, and even if he did, he didn't have the leisure time to pay attention to this matter.

When he came to the thatched house, Wang Youzhen took out a piece of mulberry paper.

Writing in ink, I wrote a full time of two sticks of incense.

After two sticks of incense.

Wang Youzhen blew the ink that was not dry on the mulberry paper, loosened his wrist and said, "There are some problems on this." ”

"Write it if you can, and leave it empty if you can't."

After the time of the two incense sticks, Jiao Miao lost his panicked mood and carefully took the mulberry paper.

After a stick of incense.

Jiao Miao basically finished writing the entire mulberry paper, put his hands on the table with a little shaking, and gave up his position.

Wang Youzhen took the mulberry paper that had been written, and corrected it seriously, waiting for him to finish correcting the mulberry paper.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha-"

The things on this mulberry paper are nothing else, it is an intelligence test suitable for Daming compiled by him himself, and it can also be said to be a genius screening test.

The full score is 100 points, as long as it can reach more than 90 points, the intelligence level is equivalent to the national first-class scientist.

The score on this mulberry paper is impressively more than 95 points.

reached 96 points.

reached a level that Wang Youzhen couldn't even imagine.

World-class scientists.
