Shen Xing patted the dirt on his body, gave Bi Da expert a big hug, and then looked at it carefully in front of the copycat version of the mortar, Bi Da Niu has long been accustomed to the actions of this rich young master, and the number of times he has come to the ordnance institute in the past six months or so can be said to be more diligent than his director.

As long as the requests made by oneself, whether it is money or personnel, it can be said that they are responsive, and they and their senior brothers and elders have such status and achievements as they have today, which are really given by this sixteen-year-old young man.

"Teacher Bi, Young Master Ben wants to thank you for the people of Daming! Do you know that with such a weapon, the war will be stopped, and the peaceful days of the Ming people will be many years closer! Your credit will be remembered forever by future generations! Bi Maokang listened thoughtfully, and then hurriedly waved his hand.

"Shao Dongjia, you praise it, it's really not the work of a certain person, take the steel that makes cannons as an example, if there is no superb skill of the craftsmen, Bi Mou can't make it even if he has great ability! And without your support, it would be difficult for everyone to support their families, and who would bother to research ......"

The group talked and laughed, and when they returned to their residence, the sumptuous wine and food had already been served on the table. "Mr. Bi, how does this new cannon compare to the Franco's guns!" Shen Xing ate something and asked seriously!

Before Bi Da Niu spoke, the old man on the side snorted, "Young master, it's not the old man bragging, the new cannon we have developed is fundamentally different from the few guns of the Franc, the power alone and the shooting distance are several times higher, not to mention, the new cannon is light in weight, easy to carry, there is no geographical limit, and even the number of shots is not comparable to it. ”

Although Shen Xing is not a professional, he still has some basic common sense of artillery, not to mention the advantage of the number of consecutive shots, and he can also abuse the opponent and cry his mother. At present, what I am most worried about is the scale of manufacturing, and manual manufacturing is time-consuming and laborious after all. Daming has a machine tool at the moment, but what is that?

The development of science and technology industry still has to take its time! It's not that you're in a hurry, but now you're winning at the starting line, there are guns and cannons, and this should be a bit of a guarantee in the future.

"Old man, how much time does it take to build this concoction, and the musket that asked you to hurry up the production has not been pulled down! You don't know in this manor! It's a mess outside, maybe one day our Jiangnan will also be in trouble, and the guy who doesn't protect himself can't do it! ”

The old man put down the wine glass, wiped his beard, stretched out his hand to the south and said, "Young master, you put your heart in your stomach, there are 50,000 people who are making it there day and night?" Tens of millions of dollars of silver have been spent, so you can't fail to take out something! In this way, my old man will be this overseer for nothing! ”

Fuck, Shen Xing subconsciously scolded, he really didn't expect the arsenal to have such a large scale, he only knows how to keep recruiting and sending people on weekdays, because now the war is flying, and it is difficult to find anything else, this refugee is a big handful, how many or how many you want, and as long as you give food to eat.

"The new artillery, the process is more difficult, and it takes a skilled craftsman to make it, but the old man has also prepared more than 20 for you, and the musket is more solid and durable than the previous one after being improved by the junior brother, and there are about 200,000 bullets left in the hand, and 500 shells, is this musket bullet? I don't know how many of them, but there are millions of them! And the new factory has just been built, and it will increase every day! ”

The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, Shen Xing's heart beat faster when he listened, his legs trembled, and he suspected that if it weren't for Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's trouble, Chongzhen might have sent someone to clean himself up, could it really be that his secrecy measures were foolproof. Otherwise, such a big killing weapon, Chongzhen should send someone to get it even if he doesn't clean it up!

But then again, some time ago, there was news in the capital that Chongzhen sent someone to take over the hand-kept bullet manufacturing workshop in the Shen family's manor, and even a few small furnaces for making steel were moved, eh......

Shen Xing, happy and painful, had a guy in his hand and his waist was quite hard, but he seemed to feel that the previous calm was just a small favor before the storm.

The caravan at home kept coming from all directions, Lao Zhang and Lao Li, the two thieves, I don't know how happy they were recently, but what made him most shocked was that the old thing Huang Taiji had changed the norm and had no news.

Everyone saw that Shen Xing was stunned again, and they were not accustomed to quietly disperse the banquet and leave, and the dog saw that the red lady came to the mountain at some point, so he hurriedly gave full play to his nature as a successor to the dog's legs, and trotted over and became a human flesh mound under the horse.

The red lady opened the curtain and frowned, the dog was an old man brought out by herself in northern Shaanxi, and now she is also the same as Shen University's faceless and skinless subordinates, she really doesn't know how many times she has said it in private. Chun'er and Qiu'er are now taking the place of Lan'er and are inseparable from the red lady, of course, they also understand the preferences of this eldest lady,

"Dog, you're a bastard again, why do you always make the young grandmother angry!" Eh, where do you dare! Sister Chun'er, don't you look at the potholes on this dirt road, where to put the horses, the young grandmother is now the body of two people, but there is no room for sloppiness, what if you are scared? Young grandma, you love us, but now is not the time, you slow down and come down first!"

The red lady, blushing and touching her belly, glanced at the dog who was lying on the ground and smirking, and finally stepped on his back and walked down.

"What about your young master? Why didn't I see anyone, I didn't go back to the house for several days, and a few goblins in the back kept chattering beside me, and my ears were about to grind out knots, did he go to tinker with those masters again! "Is it tinkering? But it's not a musket or a cannon? The young master said that the days of peace are almost over, and there may be a war, and I don't know if it's true, but I also want to make a captain! ”

The red lady looked at the excited dog, knowing that what Shen Xing said might not be far from ten, and thought to herself that it was fortunate that she had trained the Shen family's five thousand guards to become powerful, if it was equipped with muskets and cannons, it would definitely be an iron army that dared to fight.

Shen Xing, who was in a daze, may have been notified by Wangcai, and he took Lan'er out to greet him, and when he saw the red lady, he immediately strode forward and hugged her.

"Lady, you are really, you dare to run around like this with a baby, didn't I say that I will go back in ten days and a half at most?"

The red lady turned around and glanced at Jin Ling, Shui Ling, and gave Shen Xing a look you know, and Shen Xing shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "They're coming, and you're the boss and you're messing around! Do you also miss Master Ben! ”

Before Shen Xing finished speaking, his ears were grabbed again, "I'm about to be a father, and I still don't have the door like that, Jin Ling, and Xia Er are also pregnant!" He also said that he didn't pay attention, you see how long it will take! ”

Shen Xing rubbed his ears, walked to Jin Ling and Xia Er's side and whispered a few words, and then hugged both of them in turn, causing the other girls to be envious for a while, only Yin Ling, who had not grown up, applauded excitedly and shouted.

"Eh, the young master's two ladies are only more than a month pregnant, and they can't stand this, so you have to be careful everywhere in the past few months!" Shen Xing didn't expect that Doctor Zhang in the house would also follow, he didn't dare not listen to the words of this old Chinese medicine doctor who had been working for decades, so he stepped aside and let him take Jin Ling Xia'er's pulse, seeing that he nodded and said that it was okay, everyone was relieved, especially the red lady gave Shen Xing's shoulder a few heavy blows to make him remember for a long time.

"Husband, there is news from my brother-in-law in the capital, Your Majesty may want you to go to Hubei again, Zhang Xianzhong may have to fight to the south of the Yangtze River, and more than half of the army in Shanxi has been transferred to block Li Zicheng's army......" The red lady whispered as she walked, Shen Xing nodded secretly, and suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked.

"Marshal Lu, did you personally lead the troops?" "It doesn't seem to be, the letter said that the marshal asked His Majesty to send another general on the grounds of refusing to defend the Manchu Dynasty!" Hearing this, Shen Xingcai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wangcai, you quickly inform Shen Da and let him personally go to the Shen family manor in the capital, transport the relevant personnel and excess materials to Jiangnan, and let the people in the village enter a state of war readiness! The original fortress plan can now be implemented. Wangcai nodded and agreed, and was about to turn around and leave, but was pulled by Shen Xing.

"And let Shen Da go to see Lu Xiangsheng by the way, I will have someone forward the letter to him early tomorrow morning, let's go!"

Watching Wangcai leave, Shen Xing sighed heavily, and then helped the red lady to slowly walk into the room with a few girls.
