Chapter 924: Wang Cannon (II)
Yang Huairen shouted one by one, and Wang Dacang naturally knew that the owner was such an approachable character, and this was true for everyone in the Zhuangzi.
But after all, the family is the owner, and it is good to the farmers who are kind and self-contained, but he can't go on the donkey when he sees the slope as a tenant, so there is no difference between master and servant, and the humility he should have still can't be left behind.
Wang Dacang hurriedly picked up the wine glass in front of him, respectfully placed it three points lower, and asked modestly, "No matter when the grandfather orders Xiao Di, Xiao Di will do his best." ”
"That's good, that's good. Let's do this first. ”
The two drank all the wine in the cup, and Yang Huairen continued, "When I returned to the village, I saw the children in our village setting off artillery in the field, and I was very interested in playing for a while, so I went over to play with the children for a while. ”
He said as he lifted the thick iron pipe from under the table and put it on the table, "Fat Dun'er used this thick iron pipe to put a spherical cannon called 'Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers', which is said to be from Brother Wang's craftsmanship, I don't know if it's it?" ”
When Wang Dacang heard that it was because of this, he didn't think much about anything else, so he replied very sincerely, "Let the grandfather laugh, the grandfather of Xiaodi's figure has also seen it, and compared with other dealers in the Zhuangzi to serve the dealer, Xiaodi's strength is not good."
Therefore, Xiaodi delved into the craft of fertilizing crops, and pondered how to fertilize crops to make more grain, so that they could have a little fame in our village.
When it comes to the craft of doing artillery battles, Xiaodi learned it from his father's generation, and he didn't learn it very complicated, so he learned a few, including the 'Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers' that the grandfather said just now, but this is just to make some fun for the villagers during the New Year. ”
"Oh?"
Yang Huairen felt that things were a little unexpected for him, it turned out that this "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" was not a boring study in his personal leisure time, but learned from his father, and it was more than that.
After thinking about it, he remembered that he had heard from the chief boss Li Tou earlier that Wang Debao's family was not originally from Zhuangzi, but that Wang Debao followed his parents to work in Zhuangzi when he was a child.
So as for what Wang Debao and his father used to do, no one in Zhuangzi knows, but I heard that his father is very familiar with the vicinity of Zhuangzi, obviously not like a foreigner, but he speaks with a foreign accent.
This kind of thing is not a big deal, there is a new family in Zhuangzi, everyone is out of curiosity, so they ask and talk about it, and after a long time, everyone is familiar with it, and there is nothing to talk about.
In Wang Debao's generation, he grew up in Zhuangzi since he was a child, and he basically couldn't even hear the accent of a foreign country.
But Yang Huairen felt that he didn't particularly care about these things before, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that from Wang Debao's family, he can vaguely connect with something else.
"What did Ling Zun do before, where is his hometown, do you still have an impression, Brother Wang?"
Wang Dacang also noticed the strangeness, why did he talk about his father's generation? But he still replied in 1510, "Don't dare to hide it, grandpa, before Xiao Di came to our village, he was from Jiangnan."
However, when Xiaodi was a child, I remember that my father had been working outside, and he was not with our mother and son, and he only went home for three or five days during the Chinese New Year.
Later, when Xiaodi was four or five years old, my father suddenly returned home, picked up our mother and son and came to Tokyo City, and finally found a long-term job in Zhuangzi, which was still an imperial village at that time, and stayed like this.
My father didn't do a good job of tending to the crops at that time, but he was diligent and hardworking, so he could stay in the village, but more than ten years ago, my father got sick and left, otherwise, he would be able to live a good life now......"
Seeing that Wang Dacang was a little sad when he said this, Yang Huairen hurriedly comforted him.
He thought about it carefully in combination with these things, and began to have some eyebrows, so he asked, "Brother Wang's skill in making artillery battles was learned from his uncle, in addition to this 'Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers', are there any novel artillery battles next to him?" ”
"Yes," Wang Cannon tilted his head and recalled, "Like the most popular two-kick now, in fact, the process is not complicated, if it is more complicated, it can be shot three times, or even more than once."
There are also tube flowers and tribulus bombs, which are more dangerous and expensive to make, so I don't make them much. And ......"
Speaking of this, Wang Dacang stopped and shook his head, "There are some more complicated ones, I only heard my father talk about it, and I haven't done it myself, so I don't dare to say it." ”
Suddenly, he lowered his voice, pointed to the roof, and said cautiously, "You can't use ordinary gunpowder to do this, but you need to use another one with more explosive power, which was not allowed to be done many years ago." ”
Yang Huairen was surprised and delighted to say such words from Wang Dacang's mouth, and the above he said was very obvious, that is, the imperial court.
Wang Dacang, a farmer, can know so many things about gunpowder, he moved here from other places when he was a child, and has been working in Zhuangzi, where can he know so many things?
I think I only heard it from his father's mouth, so since his father knows these things and knows how to make a lot of unknown fireworks, does it show that his previous identity is relatively special?
Thinking of the secret cave in the back mountain that used to be temporarily used as the site of the Inner Guard Jin Jutang, Yang Huairen now figured out the reason for the matter.
Wang Dacang's father, most likely a craftsman who made firearms there more than 30 years ago, when the imperial court's arms supervision had not been abolished.
After that, the imperial court felt that firearms were too powerful and a dangerous weapon, and they were afraid that others would master the key technology to deal with the imperial court, so they disbanded the arms prison and dismissed the craftsmen inside.
After it was abandoned, the Empress Dowager Gao at that time set up an internal guard and found such a secret place as the site of the Golden Ju Hall.
And Wang Cannon didn't even know much about these things, maybe he just thought that his father was a craftsman who could do artillery battles.
Of course, Yang Huairen figured it out, and it was not appropriate to tell Wang Dacang now, thinking that he had only learned some skills in making artillery from his father, and he could not be regarded as a mature and experienced firearms craftsman.
However, after more than 30 years of dismissal of so many firearms craftsmen, it is not yet known how many of these people are still alive, and it is certainly impossible to keep such a department as the Arms Supervisor in secret.
So Yang Huairen asked tentatively, "I wonder if Brother Wang can still remember, among Ling Zun's friends, is there anyone who can also make these strange cannons?" ”
