The Royal Arsenal, which was the merger of several farm compounds. There are also several plots of land nearby that are being built with simple shacks, and the houses will be built as soon as possible, and the area is still not small, it is said. More than 100 acres of land. The scale of such an arsenal is still very considerable.

"This is our own Wang's musket. What do you think? Sir Xu. Wang Ming excitedly introduced.

"It's a bit heavy. It feels very thick though. The sense of security has increased a lot. Shang Wu said, holding the improved Type II arquebus in his hand. The total weight of this rifle has reached an astonishing eighteen catties. It is still difficult to use such a weapon as a soldier, so the operation of the arquebus still requires two people. In fact, the full weight of a rifle has also reached sixteen catties, which is still very difficult for soldiers in sports, but there is no way. The technology of this era is not mature to solve the problem of the barrel, the drilling technology is not mature, and it cannot be manufactured on a large scale, which leads to the barrel of the gun, the barrel of the musket, and the barrel can only be made using mature casting technology. The benefit of this is that it is fast. As long as the core technology and technical standards are mastered, it can be manufactured on a large scale. Wang Ming's arsenal was established under such circumstances.

"It's two pounds heavier than the sample gun that was given to us, and we gave it a try. The effect is very good, and within a distance of fifty paces, it is difficult for any armor to resist. This weapon once it is popularized. It's terrible. Wang Ming said.

"Hmm. The profits will also be very high, and in the future we will export to the officers and soldiers to earn some silver from them, and we can't let you Mr. Wang keep taking the money. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"Huh." Wang Ming smiled. There is already a shadow of mass production here. Like, a simple trigger. There are more than a dozen workshops that produce it, and they provide uniform samples, and then build them on a large scale, and the same is true for the springs. Even the elderly, children, and women of those craftsmen are involved in the production of such a trigger part, one can be exchanged for half a catty of rice, and the basic ration of a child under the age of twelve is basically satisfied. If you produce twelve, you can exchange it for a bucket of rice. This is the basic ration of the family. Among them, the men can still eat enough. This kind of stimulation has stimulated everyone's production to be active, and their large-scale production can also greatly ensure the quality of products, which has never happened before. As long as they guarantee qualified products, they can get enough food and have savings, which is something that cannot be found. Therefore, many workshops began to process frantically, they not only processed themselves, but also found someone to process together, and the more they processed, the more they got. This is probably the earliest component manufacturer.

"How's the yield?" Shang Wu asked Wang Ming, this is Shang Wu's most concerned question.

"Sir Xu, you can guess." Wang Ming said with a smile.

"Oh. In my opinion, at most, two rifles can be produced in a day, which is considered good. Shang Wu looked at Wang Ming and said.

"Nope. Twenty times more than that. Wang Ming said with a smile.

"Forty?" Shang Wu looked at Wang Ming in surprise, and Wang Ming nodded with a smile.

"My goodness. How could you have produced so many rifles at once, I really don't know, how did you do that. Shang Wu looked at Wang Ming in surprise.

"These are still yesterday's numbers, and today it will probably suddenly reach a staggering sixty muskets." Wang Ming said with a smile.

"How did you do that?" Shangwu was curious about this question, because it is usually rare for such a miracle to happen. Shang Wu really couldn't figure out how they could do this.

"In Chief Xu's words, that is, technology. Chief Xu proposed to transfer technology for free, and the technology patent fee was a red turban army, which inspired me, and I quickly gathered craftsmen to invent more ways to produce this kind of barrel and set machine. There is also a lot of important material. And they are given generous rewards, and once the invention is put into use, they are also given patent fees. Wang Ming introduced.

"That's it. They invented the iron mold casting method, which was very fast. And it can be cooled, which has never been done before. Wang Ming said.

"Iron mold?" Shang Wu asked curiously. Wang Ming nodded, and then took Shangwu to visit.

The situation is really the same as Wang Ming said. Previously, it took a very long time for them to produce such standard iron pipes. And it can't be cooled. With the use of iron molds, the speed of the molds can not only be accelerated, but also reused. The most important thing is that the cooling speed is greatly accelerated, which saves a lot of time and costs, and can be said to be a very successful innovation case.

"Oh my God. Looks like I'm going to have to pay for your technology. After Shang Wu saw it, he felt that the wisdom of the ancient Chinese was very amazed, because this seemed to be an application beyond the times.

"People have been suing people since ancient times, if it weren't for Chief Xu providing such a way, we wouldn't have found these, so to speak, these are all brought to us by Chief Xu." Wang Ming said with a smile.

"Huh. I don't dare say that, but you can invent more technology. Our government will also procure it, and then promote it on a large scale for production. Also, you'd better get together those who are good at invention and form a research room, and I have a workshop where they can come for free. "Shang Wu invited.

"In this case, your production speed will be greatly accelerated, and in this case, this situation is the best." Shang Wu said.

"In that case, it would be great, but these patent fees, forget it." Wang Ming said generously.

"No, no. These are the rules, and if they are canceled this time, the motivation of the craftsmen will be gone. Without motivation, they wouldn't have invented these things. They are the most valuable people, and these technologies should be given to them. Shang Wu said. This is a state of benign development.

In ancient times, the status of craftsmen with a large number of technologies was not very high, and their income was relatively low, because there were no technology patents, resulting in their food and clothing could not be well solved, and the inheritance of technology naturally appeared to be broken, in fact, ancient Chinese technology, there were many large-scale generations, may be an amazing world-class invention, because it can not be well protected, and extended, resulting in the loss of this technology, which is a huge loss, this loss to the progress of civilization, The impact is very large.

Thinking of this, Shangwu can't continue to develop this situation. Otherwise, many situations will become more difficult to deal with.

Giant deer. Inside the barracks of the officers and soldiers.

"Bell, bell, bell." The screeching of metal knocked all the soldiers awake from their sleep.

"Don't move, don't move. The general caught the ghost. The officer said, waving his arms. Many soldiers heard such an order. They all said nervously. In fact, many of them have nightmares. They dreamed that evil spirits were behind them, and no matter how they looked, they could not see. As a result, while they were relaxing, they were eaten by evil spirits and lost their heads. They could still hear their heads rattling. Many people woke up in fright, and if it weren't for the constant patrols of their officers, the bombing of the camp might have happened. The panicked soldiers had the opportunity to suffer an extremely serious disaster, and the battalion roared. Fortunately, the officers controlled the signs, but they were still very worried about this kind of thing, after all, many people were involved in the massacre, and they regretted it very much, but there was nothing they could do. It was an order from their commander. If not carried out, the consequences are clear to them.

"Got a ghost. Caught a ghost. General Cao has caught a ghost. The sergeant patrolling the barracks shouted. Hearing such a shout, many sergeants couldn't help but stick out their heads to look, they saw torches, and then saw several skeletons on a big cart, a great god kept jumping, and many soldiers saw that the skeletons they caught were the same as what they saw in their dreams, and they said what they thought of in their hearts.

"So the hell is like that. With the mage here, we don't have to worry. Hurry up and go to bed. Some veterans said. The others didn't have a good idea to say anything, so they had to leave the place. Go back to sleep.

That's the end of catching ghosts. Although the impact was not very great, it gave the officers and soldiers a psychological suggestion.

But Huangfu Song's headache is not over.

"This new Dao report should be a good way for this thief army to come up with." Zhu Jun put a newspaper on the desk, and he looked at the newspaper on the desk and thought about the problem.

"I'm not worried about this, I'm worried that this kind of newspaper will be delivered to Luoyang." Huangfu Song said with a headache.

"Luoyang?" Zhu Jun looked at Huangfu Song. Then I felt that something was wrong. Huangfu Song just shook his head. Apparently he also had a headache for such a thing.

The article "Killing Prisoners is Ominous" was jointly completed by Shang Wu and Jia Xu, and in this article, they first started with why it is ominous to kill prisoners. For example, the killing of prisoners will cause a great resentment, and this resentment will spread everywhere, which will lead to more and more rebellions, which is of course illusory. However, Jia Xu wrote something similar to the law of conservation of energy in the article, saying that the appearance of a large-scale soul in a place will inevitably cause all kinds of unrest, and this uneasiness will cause unrest between the dead and the living, and if this balance is broken, it will cause the living to become unquiet, and it is foreseeable that more rebellions will arise in the future. Although this kind of nonsense has the fact that it is casually fabricated and false, it can indeed stir up the people's unrest on a large scale, after all, no one wants to provoke such a thing, which is not a good thing for them.

If the matter ends here, it may just be an absurd fantasy novel, but the problem is that they blame this responsibility in the first place, Huangfu Song. Because the person who killed these heroic spirits was the one who did it. Moreover, the generation of resentment may produce a great plague, and it is the Huangfu Song who caused this evil result. In this way, the people will have more resentment towards Huangfu Song. If their Emperor His Majesty had read such an article and had some kind of worry, Huangfu Song was worried that mistakes in the temple would lead to the beginning of a series of mistakes in the official army. This is the beginning of the greatest catastrophe.

"Meng De said that he saw such a thing in Luoyang, which shows that this kind of thing will inevitably appear in Luoyang, and in this way, you and I will inevitably be condemned. If Your Majesty is bewitched, we will wait, and we will be defeated if we are not defeated. Huangfu Song seemed to be very helpless and said. There are many, many variables in the war, for example, the appearance of the Red Turban Army is very unexpected, plus the emergence of various weapons, Huangfu Song is a little overwhelmed, because the emergence of new weapons has greatly changed a lot of rules of engagement, and the re-understanding of these rules has cost Huangfu Song too much energy. But in such a situation, the Red Turban Army actually exuded such a thing, and the influence of this was definitely beyond Huangfu Song's imagination.

"We don't think anyone can do anything about it." Zhu Jun thought about it, and there was no way to solve such a thing. The ghost hunt wasn't over yet, but the newspaper story made them feel a real threat.

"At most, we can arrest the people who pasted these newspapers, but if the other party spreads them in the dark, we don't have any way to do this kind of thing." Zhu Jun shook his head.

The two fell into a long silence, because it was hard for them to imagine that such a thing would happen.

Huguan Castle.

It has been surrounded by several guerrilla detachments of the Taihang Mountain Military Region of the Red Turban Army. The officers and soldiers in the city also cowered, and they sent three batches of helpers in a row, but it was a pity. The Red Turbans only stopped one of them. The rest ran out. This means that their situation is in a very unfavorable situation.

"Lao Li, it seems that it won't work. We're pulling it down for the time being. Get a good rest. Cui Changgen took the telescope in his hand and saw it. The siege battle was really difficult, and the Red Turban Army had already lost more than 300 people. The losses were great, there were still corpses under the entire city walls, and they launched an attack, two of which went in a row to blow up the city gates. As a result, they were all discovered by the officers and soldiers, who concentrated their bows and arrows to shoot at them, resulting in heavy casualties and the military operation to bomb the city gate had to be terminated. Because the ** bag can't be delivered at all.

"Hey." Li Yun slapped the ground in annoyance, and then reluctantly gave the order to retreat. They have been attacking for a day. No, no withdrawal.
