Chapter 651: Jumping into the fire pit three times and five times
Coming from a thousand years later, as a very unique person in this world, not to mention that now that he is in power and has adapted to this environment, Guo Shao has always felt that he can do great things in his heart and make the world change according to his own will.
His performance really surprised the world. Since the Tokyo Mutiny actually took power, in just three years, he destroyed the three largest separatist regimes, and there was no strong enemy in the world, and he also tried the Northern Expedition to make the Liao State an enemy...... Suddenly, Guo Shao looked back on the past and felt that he had done it fast enough.
Sometimes big things can't be too fast, back then, Emperor Yang of Sui was to build a canal and conquer Goryeo, because he was anxious to think of a big deal, and as a result, he lost all his old capital!
However, Guo Shao was not satisfied with the current speed, and felt that he was bound by something and had not been able to enjoy himself. It's like this imperial city, Guo Shao stays here every day like a cage.
Now, he can only sit here and patiently look at a document written by the ancients without punctuation. The content is very boring, but you can't help but think about it carefully.
He had to secretly warn himself: big things are made up of small things.
In the eyes of others, Guo Shao was very calm, sitting for an hour or two, and reading the file there all the time, as if he was reading a very interesting idle book, reading page by page...... In fact, he is not so idle, but he can't panic, and he is helpless.
…… At this time, Zuo You came over and said, "Your Majesty, a few people in the cabinet have discussed it, do you think this arrangement is possible?" Three days ago, the minister and Huang Fuzheng (Huang Binglian) were still on duty in the cabinet, so let Zan Shilang and Lu Yuanjun understand what the cabinet does every day; In the future, the ministers will work in pairs, and they will be on duty in the cabinet, and they will go to the government hall on an errand at other times. ”
Guo Shao said: "I will follow the invitation of Zuo Shilang." ”
Zuo Youbai retreated to the bookcase outside the screen and said to the other three: "Your Majesty agrees." ”
The three of them responded with fists clasped, all in the same room, and everyone had heard the conversation between Guo Shao and Zuo You just now.
At this time, Zan Jurun said: "At lunchtime, I have something to go out, and if I am late for duty in the afternoon, please ask Zuo Shilang to speak for me." ”
Zuo You listened and said: "In the afternoon, all the important ministers who came were central, so they couldn't be delayed." ”
Zan Jurun said: "It's in time." ”
Zuo You glanced at him, didn't ask anything important, and didn't say more.
Zan Jurun understands the recent transfer that Zuo You and Huang Binglian are ready to be prime ministers! Zan Ju Runxin said: The people in this cabinet can help the emperor read the chapter, I used to think it was not an ordinary place!
Zuo You was the emperor's staff at the end of his life, and sooner or later he would be the prime minister, which is reasonable; It's not very clear what Huang Binglian's origin is, but it should be someone Guo Shao has known for a long time.
Zan Jurun believes that the cabinet assistant is the prime minister's pre-selection! He also wants to do something meritorious and become the prime minister...... Since he has taken the road of studying for the imperial examination and become an official, who doesn't want to be the Liao of a hundred officials and the Venerable Shilin?
It's just that there are only a few prime ministers in total, and the people who sit up may not move for a long time, just like that Feng Dao, who has been the prime minister of the Five Dynasties! In the end, the old death finally made room...... So not everyone has a chance.
By noon, everyone had left for a while, with an hour for lunch and rest. Lunch is provided by the public.
Zan Jurun didn't eat this official meal, and hurried out of Donghua Gate. His own servants did not come, and they had to wait until the time to come to pick up the master, so Zan Jurun had to go to the forbidden army general guarding the city gate, took out the seal and painted the seal, borrowed a military horse, and then hurried.
He rode up to Mahang Street, and when he saw a steaming restaurant, he went in and bought two oil cakes, and ate them while facing north.
Zan Jurun hurried to the firearms workshop in the North Garden of the Imperial City. The firearms workshop is going to test two kinds of weapons today, Zan Jurun is very concerned, if it succeeds, it will be said in public during the afternoon meeting, won't it be a credit?
Today's actions, Zan Jurun can be regarded as understanding. Whoever has merit and who is useful will be reused!
For example, that Lu Duosun can actually be on an equal footing with himself today! He has only been admitted to Jinshi for a few years, what qualifications does he have? And from a humble background, it doesn't matter if you want money or not, it doesn't matter if you want a relationship, and you have been doing a painless idle job...... But he was desperate enough to take the initiative to jump into the fire pit again and again. During the battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the two countries were at war, and he ran to persuade him to surrender! The northwest side is in chaos, and he has to go through the barbarian territory to get a map!
is clearly credited, and even the privy deputy praises him. With such a position, no one can really say anything about him......
When they arrived at the firearms shop, the officials and foremen inside hurriedly came up to salute.
Zan Jurun said straightforwardly: "This official has to rush back to Jinxiang Hall in the afternoon, the things are not made, hurry up!" ”
When everyone heard that the Jinxiang Hall was on duty, they all knew that it was the place of the court meeting, and they were all in awe. The foreman hurriedly called the craftsman to carry out the basket containing a few round lumps.
Zan Jurun looked at it and said, "Why is it so big?" The official family is talking about throwing it out and blowing it up**, who threw it to the official to see if it was so big! ”
The foreman hurriedly said: "It's too small, and there is no place to stuff **." It was a painstaking thing to cast, first casting two petals, then casting it with molten iron; I'm going to get a drill and drill a hole......"
"Let's try it first." Zan Ju Rundao.
The crowd took refuge behind a female wall on a wall, and then called the craftsmen down to prepare a long lead. The craftsman lit it, and when he saw the lead smoking, he ran away.
The officials hurriedly said: "Envoy Jun beware. "One by one, they are vying to block Zan Jurun.
Zan Jurun stretched his face out from behind the female wall and looked at the iron bump. After a long while, there was a sudden "bang", and the flash of fire rushed up.
The lump of iron exploded into two lobes at once, jumped twice on the ground, and then stopped moving, leaving only white smoke to fill.
Zan Jurun and the officials looked at each other, and Zan Jurun's tone was annoyed: "Didn't you say that it could be blown into broken iron?" ”
An official said, "We use the brittle cast iron...... It may be that the place where it was cast is too unsturdy. ”
Zan Jurun frowned and said, "Next time use stones!" The inside was hollowed out, plugged with **, and then rammed to death with mud. ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The official and the two concurrently heads hurriedly answered.
Then everyone tried another weapon: the wrought iron firecracker.
Because the cast copper gun is thick and short, the range is not good, the effective killing is only twenty steps, and if it hits the thick armor, the lead shot may not be able to penetrate. Therefore, Guo Shao once asked to use iron to try to make a gun tube.
No one can drill an iron pipe out of an iron rod; Can only be forged. Hard cast iron shatters as soon as it is sold, and cannot be forged; Only soft wrought iron can be used.
Because of the bird-like iron bump just now, Zan Jurun was in a low mood and anxiously waiting for the results of the iron pipe test.
As expected...... ** exploded in the chamber, and the gun tube was directly deformed.
"Alas......" Zan Jurun looked up and sighed. Xindao: Can this thing make something useful?
