Jia Baoyu's trespass on the queen's temporary place soon spread all over the world, and everyone talked about it.

But Jia Ke doesn't seem to take this matter to heart anymore, and Jia Baoyu seems to continue to resume his original life of singing and dancing.

But those in the royal family who knew knew that from that day on, Jia Baoyu would never be able to step into the palace again.

Even when summoned by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, Jia Baoyu couldn't pass the city gate.

Because of this incident, the Queen Mother was furious, and even made trouble with Emperor Jia Zheng a few times.

But Jia Zheng didn't care about this matter, because Jia Zheng knew that Jia Baoyu had done it in this matter, and if he didn't give Jia Ke a chance to vent, when Jia Ke was annoyed and angry, he really couldn't clean it up.

For this matter, Jia's mother did not intercede with Jia Baoyu, but often complained to his personal maid Mandarin Duck: The flesh and blood affection among the royal family is too cold.

In Jia Baoyu's Fu Wangfu, because the princess Lin Daiyu broke her body last time, she never got pregnant, but Jia Baoyu's concubine was detected as pregnant by the imperial doctor soon after, and finally gave birth to a son named Jia Gui.

As a result, because of this incident, Lin Daiyu fell seriously ill, and her body deteriorated even more.

And the time was spent slowly in this short little thing in the family, and three years passed in a flash, and the time came to Kangshun for 5 years.

In the past three years, the foundation of the Great Yan Heavenly Dynasty has become more stable, especially among the people, because Jia Ke has changed the way of collecting taxes, the lives of the common people are finally able to take a breath.

Although those landlords and old fortunes paid more taxes than before, they did not hurt their roots, so although there were some complaints, but because Jia Ke was really powerful, they swallowed their anger.

Another is the world's commercial tax, in recent years, due to the increasing number of merchants in the world, the imperial court has collected commercial taxes.

In the five years of Kangshun, the imperial court's commercial tax has received 40 million taels, plus other salt and iron taxes, as well as the world's agricultural tax, the imperial court's annual income has reached 75 million taels, which is simply unprecedented.

Due to the abundant taxation of the imperial court, various constructions in the world are also in full swing.

Jia Ke's first project to benefit the people is six straight roads with three horizontal and three vertical, and such a large project can be said to be a waste of money once it is not operated well in ancient times.

Qin Shi Huang built a straight road back then, how many people were requisitioned, and in the end the public resentment boiled, if it wasn't for Qin Shi Huang's majesty, I am afraid that the Qin court would be in danger of subversion at that time.

And this time Jia Ke also learned a lesson, and did not forcibly expropriate the people, but collected all the criminals in the world and used them to build roads.

There were no candidates left, so Jia Ke recruited those poor peasants who lacked land and little land from all over the world, and all the food during the work period was covered by the imperial court, and he also gave them 300 wen yuan a month as wages.

Therefore, many poor peasants regard this matter as a great difference, because they can still eat enough on the construction site, and there are 300 yuan every month to supplement the family, so naturally there are many followers.

Therefore, in the past few years, although the roads have not been fully repaired, in the places where the roads have been built, the commercial circulation is much faster than before, and it is convenient for the people to go out.

The other is that Jia Ke began to tighten the rights of those toasts in the southwest.

Although Jia Ke wanted to quickly deprive these people of their power, he was afraid that there would be changes in the southwest, so he had been adopting a policy of relaxation.

First, he sent people to ransom the slaves in the hands of these people, and then he bought these people, and the people who led the troops under his command let these toasts slowly disperse with all their might, and the third was to send scholars to the places where these toasts lived, so that the natives under the command of these toasts could open their wisdom.

Under Jia Ke and his subordinates, these Tusi's control over the local area is getting weaker and weaker, and the county orders sent by Jia Ke are becoming more and more powerful.

In one, during these three years, Jia Ke did not give up on the research and development of firearms.

The imperial court's tax revenue has increased greatly in recent years, and Jia Ke's investment in firearms research has also become even larger.

This firearms research is not just about finding some iron, drilling a hole in the middle is the barrel of a gun.

One of the most important is the steel used for the barrel.

Jia Ke came from modern times, but he didn't know the formula of these special steels, and he also knew that the barrel could not be made of ordinary steel.

Therefore, in addition to the development of various machining machinery, a large part of these investments is to explore the materials used in steel pipes.

As we all know, there is no shortcut to materials science, only one experiment at a time, one refining at a time.

After nearly a year of experimentation, Jia Ke's firearms factory barely mastered the formula of an alloy.

This recipe is much harder than the ancient wrought iron and the steel smelted by the court, and it is also very capricious, and Jia Ke named this steel No. 1 steel.

The recipe for this number was classified by Jia Ke as a secret and kept strictly secret, and only one or two people knew about it in the entire firearms factory.

After No. 1 was just refined, another big problem was placed in front of the firearms workshop, that is, large-scale refining.

In ancient times, there were no steel-making furnaces, and it was impossible to refine them on a large scale.

After Jia Ke knew the difficulties of the factory, he personally came to the firearms factory in Xishan, and then carefully studied with those old craftsmen, and finally Jia Ke drew a sketch in the style of a modern earthen blast furnace, and then handed it to these old craftsmen and asked them to continue to study according to this sketch.

These old craftsmen are also skilled craftsmen for several lifetimes, and after getting Jia Ke's sketch and adding sufficient funds, they experimented with three kinds of earthen blast furnaces at once, and then slowly improved them, and after nearly seven or eight months, they experimented with a blast furnace that could meet the requirements of refining guns.

Once all these obstacles have been resolved, it is time to drill holes in the pipes, which is the most important step in the manufacture of muskets.

Don't look at just drilling a hole in the steel pipe, the difficulty of this is not what ordinary people can imagine.

In ancient times, you can imagine that the barrel should be the same width at the front and back, and the holes in it should not be tilted a little.

In the Ming Dynasty, most of the barrels made were rolled with iron sheets, and then beaten with wooden sticks, stacked, although this solved the problem of making the barrel, but the quality of the barrel produced was really poor, sometimes as long as a shot, the barrel exploded immediately.

This is also the reason why in the Ming Dynasty, the firearms troops were defeated by the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty that used cold weapons.

Jia Ke naturally didn't want such a situation, so Jia Ke didn't take any shortcuts, but used the most difficult method, that is, to make large-scale machine tools.

This machine tool is simple, it is a drilling machine, but the trouble in making it is a bunch of piles.

Jia Ke used the wooden machine tools used to make woodware in ancient times to imitate, and then changed all the wooden components into iron.

Although the simple machine tool made in this way barely looked usable, when I tested the cutter head on the machine tool, I could only barely drill a white mark on the steel pipe of No. 1 steel.

Jia Ke is really a little numb now, is the hard work of the past few years in vain?

In the future, he can only refine tool steel again, and now Jia Ke's knowledge is completely useless.

Next, Jia Ke offered a huge bounty in the firearms factory, as long as he was a craftsman who could develop tool steel, he would immediately be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the official would be promoted to the third level.

There is a saying that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and Jia Ke opened this heavy reward, which immediately inspired countless old craftsmen who thought they had the ability in the factory.

So after nearly half a year of development, a tool steel was finally developed, which can process No. 1 steel.

Jia Ke knew that he was overjoyed, and finally gnawed off the last bone.

Next, with the help of the manpower machine tools made by Jia Ke and the new tool steel, the barrels of the guns were completed with quality and quantity.

After that, according to the flintlock pistol drawings that had been designed three years ago, the prototype flintlock pistol was installed.

As a result, flintlock pistols were made, and another problem arose, that is, the ignition device was unreliable.

Flintlock pistols basically use the flint on the hammer to strike to produce sparks and ignite gunpowder.

But the hammer does not guarantee that every impact will produce a spark at any time, and the spark produced cannot guarantee that it will ignite the gunpowder.

If there was such a large-scale bolt failure incident during the war, then the battle would not have been able to be fought.

Finally, improvements were made to increase the striking area of the hammer and to add a curtain of fire above the spinal cord and gunpowder to reduce the effect of natural wind on gunpowder and sparks.

After improvement, this flintlock pistol can be considered usable, and after the improved flintlock pistol, every 20 shots, only one fire is unsuccessful.

Such an error rate can already be used on the battlefield.

After getting the flintlock pistol made, Jia Ke personally went to the factory to do experiments.

After testing, this flintlock pistol has a life of 1,000 rounds, which is very remarkable in Jia Ke's opinion.

Jia Keyu opened his mouth lightly and named the newly made flintlock pistol - Type 04 flintlock pistol.

The next step was mass production and the start of equipping the troops.

Although Jia Ke has equipment, the number of machine tools is not much, and each machine tool can only process 2~3 barrels per day.

And Jia Ke only has a dozen machine tools, and if he wants to equip the troops like this, it will be the Year of the Monkey.

So in the following days, Jia Ke ordered more than 100 machine tools to be made, and these machine tools were lined up and all used to make gun barrels.

It can process three or four hundred barrels a day, and about 10,000 Type 04 flintlock pistols can be made every month.

Only now can Jia Ke feel at ease, the hard work in the past three years has not been in vain, if he persists for another year and a half, it will not take much, as long as there are 100,000 troops loaded with flintlock pistols, Jia Ke will be sure to sweep the mainland.
