After inspecting the weaving factory, Zhu Cijiong did not return to the capital immediately, and said that he would accompany the two queen mothers to go green, and he couldn't go back after a turn, and the Empress Dowager Zhang and the Empress Dowager Ren were waiting in the imperial sedan chair for a long time, if they didn't accompany them out to breathe, they were afraid that they would have to eat sanitary pills for several days after returning to the palace.

In fact, Zhu Cijiong had already ordered him to go down long before he set off, and asked Wang Chengen to lead a group of eunuchs to find a scenic place between Wuqing and the capital, arrange it well, and wait for them to go to play.

Speaking of this scenery, it is easy to find in the north of the capital, where is the remaining veins of Yanshan, there are mountains and waters, and the scenery is picturesque; It is difficult to find the south of the capital, basically an endless plain, there are many rivers, but there is no landform that can be called a mountain, and at most you can find a small mound dozens of meters high.

Fortunately, the two queen mothers just wanted to set foot in the green, not to climb the mountain, Wang Chengen found a higher ground mounds by the Yongding River, not far from the official road, repaired the road up a little, and then found a flat place on the top of the mound, built a wooden pavilion, and then put a table of exquisite pastries and cooked food in the pavilion, and the place to rest was ready.

The surrounding scenery is also not bad, the river is clear, the grass is everywhere, and there is blue everywhere, you can step on it as much as you want!

The two empress dowagers were really satisfied with the scenery here, they climbed the mound to eat a little and rested, and then led Qin Mingyue to wander around.

The radius was surrounded by the Praetorian Guards for several miles, but Zhu Cijiong was not worried about their safety, in order to avoid being ravaged by the three women in turn, he hid in the pavilion on the grounds that he was too tired from the morning inspection.

On the surface, he was sitting there enjoying the scenery around him, but in fact, he was thinking about the problem of making money, no way, poor, this money was spent like running water, and 20 million taels of silver were spent in the blink of an eye. He really wanted to expand the Beijing camp, update the equipment, and then personally lead the army to exterminate the peasant rebel army, recover Liaodong, and kill Huang Taiji, but there was no money! The military expenditure of an army of 100,000 is 3 million taels a year, and this is not counting the consumption of firearms, and it is no problem to use swords, guns, swords, halberds or something for a few years, but the bullets and shells are gone, and the army that wants all-hot weapons has to double this military expenditure.

Just when Zhu Cijiong was worried about money, another thing about spending money came to the door, and the voice of the system beauty suddenly sounded in his mind again

"Ding Dong, congratulations on completing the fifth survival mission, and now we will start distributing rewards, new flintlock pistol blueprints."

Zhu Cijiong felt a little dizzy again, and there was an extra set of drawings for a new flintlock pistol in his mind.

Before he could take a closer look, the voice of the system beauty continued:

"Ding-dong, please note, new mission reminder.

Your sixth survival mission: survive this world for a year.

Reward: Improved Franc Machine** paper. ”

When Zhu Cijiong heard this reward, he lost his previous excitement, this gun costs dozens of taels of silver, isn't the cannon more expensive, now he has no money, no matter how many drawings he gives him, it will be in vain, and he has no money to make weapons.

The beauty of the system naturally didn't care if he had money or not, and continued to prompt: "Friendly reminder: The survival mission is coming to an end, Sao Nian, go and work hard to rewrite history, the rich glory task rewards are beckoning to you." ”

Zhu Cijiong was speechless for a while, how can it be so simple to rewrite history, no matter how rich the rewards of the glory mission are, you have to get it.

The reward for his first glorious mission can be said to be the result of the system half selling and half giving away, if it weren't for the system to let his soul travel to Zhu Cijiong, the prince of Dehuai, who was about to hang up, where could he change history so easily and ascend to the throne.

If we want to change history now, it is nothing more than to clean up the peasant rebel army, defeat the Houjin, or dominate the world, none of which is simple, and it is impossible to do it in the short term.

He shook his head, shook all his troubles out of his mind, and carefully examined the blueprints of the new flintlock pistol.

First of all, rifling should be engraved in the barrel, and the system also comes with a simple rifling bed, which is specially used to engrave rifling.

As long as the barrel is fixed on the piston pulled back and forth, as soon as the switch is pressed, the rifle bed will automatically pull the barrel back and forth, so that the rotating drill bit can carve rifling in the barrel.

Then the flintlock device was also changed, and the medicine room was fixed behind the barrel by a sub-buckle, as long as the sub-buckle was broken, the medicine room could be removed, that is to say, as long as more medicine rooms were prepared, the soldiers could load the gunpowder inside before the war, and when the time came, as long as the medicine room was changed and the bullets were on, they could shoot again immediately.

Finally, the bullet was also changed, no longer spherical, but cylindrical, with a taper on the tip. The bullet was not stabbed through the muzzle, but from the back, and when it was removed from the medicine room, the bullet was pressed into the barrel.

Sure enough, it's a good thing, such a gun has a firing range of more than 500 meters, a killing distance of more than 300 meters, as long as it is aimed within 200 meters, there are almost no bullets, and the detachable medicine chamber and breech loading also greatly increase the rate of fire, as long as the medicine chamber and bullets are sufficient, ten rounds a minute is not a problem.

Such a flintlock pistol surpasses the bow and crossbow in terms of range, rate of fire, killing distance, and accuracy, and can completely dominate the battlefield and decide the outcome of the battle!

Things are good things, but our little emperor Zhu Cijiong is not happy at all, the structure of the new flintlock pistol is so complex, and the machine tool has to be added, and the machine tool is not added to the person, the output still can't go up, just with the 1,000 people in the Wang Gong factory, it is good to be able to make a thousand new flintlock pistols a month.

1,000 a month, only 12,000 a year, not counting the time for processing a separate medicine room, a gun must be equipped with ten separate medicine rooms, so that you can only make 10,000 guns a year. It will take at least five years for the new guns to form combat power, and at least fifty years for them to form an absolute superiority and sweep the peasant army and the Houjin army!

Fifty years, what are you kidding, at that time our little emperors have become old emperors, and I don't know if Daming can last for five years, and if you wait for another fifty years, Daming will have already perished.

Zhu Cijiong decided not to wait any longer, first recruit all the people, and then talk about it, he can still last a few months with just the salary, and then decide how many flintlock pistols to produce in a month in August to see how much tax is collected.

He went down with a verbal order, Wang Gongchang began to recruit workers frantically, and recruited from the victims, only recruiting military households and artisan households, with a quota of 10,000, studying for two months, and three taels of silver per month, and after two months of assessment, the qualified ones were paid five taels of silver per month.

At the same time, Bi Maokang and Song Yingxing also began to trial produce a new type of flintlock pistol, and the specific performance has to be made to know, but the cost is calculated, even if each flintlock pistol is equipped with ten medicine rooms and 100 bullets, it will cost 100 taels of silver, 10,000 is 1 million taels, and 100,000 is 10 million taels!

After being an emperor for so long, Zhu Cijiong has never felt so difficult, and he must be careful in everything he does, otherwise there may be a financial crisis. The emperor is unlucky enough to be on this job, no wonder Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen would be chattering at that time, he had no money to do anything, and the poor couldn't even make up the military expenses.

Our Chongzheng Emperor Zhu Cijiong will naturally not be poor to that extent, as long as the prosperous semicolon is spread throughout the country, he can earn one or two million taels a year. But this was the most difficult time for him, the treasury was empty, the prosperity was still in its infancy, disaster relief, suppression of peasant uprisings, resistance to the Houjin invasion, everywhere had to spend money, and if he was not careful, he could go bankrupt.

Okay, Bi Maokang, you give me a little more leisure, first make a dozen flintlock pistols and try them out, if you do too much, I won't have the money to pay my salary!
