In order to avoid the occurrence of fishing in troubled waters, the township army of each pavilion and village was completely separated, and the General Staff Department sent a proofreader to the end by drawing lots.

Li Zhengqing was selected as the proofreader of Zhang Heting in Xiangfu County after drawing lots, and his task was mainly to investigate the long-distance mobility ability of the township army to which Zhang Heting belonged. As for other review items, another officer who draws lots is in charge.

The advantage of the lottery system is that it avoids the disadvantages of favors to the greatest extent, and the relative fairness is undoubtedly the highest.

The most feared thing about the affairs of the Celestial Empire is that it is serious at all levels, and the core of it is that everything can be implemented to people!

Li Zhongyi knows better than anyone else that the rule of officials is the most powerful guarantee for all kinds of new policies, and he is absolutely not willing to repeat the mistakes of Wang Anshi's law changes, not only to have good policies, but also to be held accountable after mistakes!

In short, policies that cannot be held accountable to a specific individual will not only fail to benefit the people, but will also become a convenient tool for the people, and will instead increase the burden on the propertied peasants.

In the afternoon, after Li Zhongyi finished reading the military and political documents at hand, he changed into civilian clothes and led Chu Xiong out of the ruling palace through the side door.

The Ordnance Supervisor has recently produced a great result, and it has actually produced a flowering bomb several years earlier than expected.

As we all know, solid bullets are mainly suitable for siege cities, while flowering bullets are a magic weapon for infantry in field positional warfare.

In the face of such a major achievement, Li Zhongyi is naturally itchy and uncontrollable, and he must see it with his own eyes, so that he can sleep at night.

Li Hu, who was sentenced to the military weapons superintendent, did not receive a notice in advance that Li Zhongyi was going, and as usual, he was dressed in the clothes of a standard craftsman and mingled with the gunsmiths.

When Li Zhongyi arrived at the artillery case, he happened to see Li Hu doing it himself, and he was extremely focused on oiling the cannon. Li Zhongyi couldn't help nodding secretly, although Li Hu was born as a military general, he was also Li Qiniang's biological father, and a proper relative, according to the words in the play, he was qualified to run amok against the law.

However, Li Hu has a simple and honest personality, but he is very serious in his work, and he is very studious, and he can get along with the craftsmen, which is what Li Zhongyi values him very much.

Liu Bang, Taizu of the Han Dynasty, commented that Zhou Bo was thick and uneducated, and Li Zhongyi's view of Li Hu was that he was down-to-earth and hardworking, and that the Ordnance Supervision was a technical department, and he needed an honest person like Li Hu who was serious about his work.

Li Zhongyi didn't bother Li Hu, he led Chu Xiong to wander around the workshop, looking east and west, and quietly observing the situation in the artillery case.

Although the production operations of the assembly line are purely manual and without the help of machinery, the production efficiency is at least ten times higher than that of the original ordnance superintendent.

Li Zhongyi walked all the way, all the way to see, every young craftsman everywhere he passed, under the leadership of the master, very serious to do their own work.

Only the children of craftsmen and masters are allowed to take over, which is often referred to as the top job in later generations, which is Li Zhongyi's initiative. At the same time, Li Zhongyi also awarded more than a dozen masters with top-notch skills the virtual title of Congjipin.

Don't look at the only nine products, no matter how small the sesame official is, he is also an official, not a cheap craftsman that everyone can step on.

Facts have proved that Li Zhongyi's groundbreaking initiative has produced good results. It not only solves the worries of the master, but also allows the craftsmen to form a technical echelon, they only need to concentrate on studying technology, and they can get a half-official position at the right time, and they are very proud when they return to their hometowns.

Sooner or later, breech guns will be replaced by breech guns, the whole process is irreversible, and the system of reinforcing and reversing will surely shine in the future!

It's just that, limited by the current situation of backward technology in metallurgy, artillery manufacturing, machinery and other aspects, Li Zhongyi only dares to think about the system of reinforcing and rearing in his dreams.

Flowering cannonballs, Li Zhongyi doesn't know much. However, he knew less and knew better than anyone else where artillery and shells were heading.

The propellant is ready-made, and the core of the flowering shell is two points: one is the time signal tube, and the other is to fix the direction of the launch.

In the beginning, six out of 10 shells produced by the ordnance supervisor were blown up by the rapid burning of the fuse of the shell.

Fortunately, Li Zhongyi once issued a strict order, when testing the gun, everyone must be out of the pit 100 meters away.

If the cannonballs did not explode, the craftsmen were forbidden to approach the cannons, but drove the Goryeo slaves to dismantle the cannons.

Due to the strange explosion during the experiment, the Goryeo slaves suffered heavy losses, and more than 100 people have been killed so far.

There is no way, the progress of military science and technology will inevitably lead to casualties. Since Li Zhongyi was reluctant to give up the people of his own nation, he could only wronged the Goryeo sticks and asked them to make necessary sacrifices and contributions for the development of the empire's artillery cause.

In previous firing experiments, Li Zhongyi noticed that the spherical shell would roll in the chamber, and after the chamber was discharged, it would be unable to control the direction of the shot due to poor symmetry.

The reason why the spherical shell rolls is mainly the result of the uneven force of the spherical body in the narrow barrel.

At this time, Li Zhongyi's insight beyond the millennium played a crucial role in promoting.

In the old movie "Battle of the Angry Sea", whether it is the British army or the French army, the bottom of the spherical shell of the naval gun will be tied to a thick wooden board. If the force is balanced, the shell will not roll, and the direction after the discharge will not deviate too much.

Of course, the problem of accuracy, under the current situation of direct aiming, can only be thought about at present, but it is not possible to achieve the degree of accurate shooting.

Therefore, in all the experiments, there will be jokes of one kind or another. In addition, because there is no retraction device, every time the breech gun is fired, it needs to be re-aimed, and the efficiency and accuracy of the firing are greatly reduced.

The last time Li Zhongyi left the Ordnance Prison, the biggest problem with the flowering shells was actually the specific length of the barrel.

Scientific experiments have proved that the longer the barrel, the higher the acceleration of the cannon's ejection, and the longer the range of the gun.

No matter what era it is, from bows to crossbows, from crossbows to artillery, and even missiles, the longer the range of weapons, the advantage it occupies is obviously self-evident.

However, the longer the barrel, the higher the requirements for the barrel material. If the metallurgical materials of the pipe body are not up to standard, the risk of exploding the bore will definitely accompany the officers and soldiers of the artillery corps at all times.

If you want to ask yourself, if an artillery piece that can blow itself up anytime and anywhere, no matter how skillful the officers and men of the artillery corps are in peacetime training, their combat effectiveness will certainly be greatly reduced when they are in battle.

PS: There are so many meetings after the beginning of the year, and the update has been delayed, sorry. Two shifts a day will return to normal from tomorrow!
