Chapter Eighty-Seven: Cannons

"This is also the reason why the old man is puzzled, and he has been in these steels all these days, so this matter has been informed to His Highness." Master Lu said with a frown.

He is watching the refining of steel these days, and the quality of this batch of steel is obviously much stronger than other steels, which also makes him puzzled, they are all the same refining, but he doesn't know what is going on, but the hardness of this batch of steel is so strong.

Li Shen frowned slightly, and said, "Is it the reason for the operation, or is there something added?" ”

Master Lu shook his head and said, "No, every time a batch of steel is refined these days, the old man is staring at it with his own eyes, and it is impossible for steel with such a big gap." ”

"Have you checked the iron ore?"

"I've checked, it's all iron ore from a batch, and it's impossible for this to happen."

Li Shen frowned, it was not the reason for the iron ore, nor the reason for refining, but the steel that came out was very different, what was the reason, and said, "Master Lu, you have to investigate this matter carefully." ”

"This old man knows. Your Highness, let's come over with the old man to see how this batch of cannon barrels is. ”

Standing at the door of an inconspicuous hut, Master Lu trembled and took out a keychain from his waist, picked out one of them, opened the locked door, and pushed it open.

Sunlight streamed in through the doorway, shining darkly on the black, polished barrels of the room.

Li Shen walked in, looked at the cannon barrels lined up, reached out and knocked on the barrel, making a crisp sound, although he didn't know what the material was, but it also made people feel surging when he looked at it, and the firearm could finally be said to show its hideous face in this world.

"Hahaha~~~ Good, good, good, good, good, lonely hope." Li Shen said with a smile, turned to look at Master Lu, and said: "Spread the will of Lone, but whoever has merit this time will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of silk, and others will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness......" Master Lu said with a little trembling with excitement.

He has only only obtained the official position of the seventh grade in his life, that is, he was moved by Li Shen, and he will only come out of the mountain again if he wants to correct the name of those of them who rely on craftsmanship to eat. When a person is old, he has no pursuit, and he does not pursue fame and fortune, in order to seek something that should belong to the craftsmen of the world.

Looking at Master Lu with tears in his eyes, Li Shen sighed slightly, he has no shortage of geniuses for invention in the land of China since ancient times, and he has always been submerged in the constraints of various rituals and religions for no reason, stretched out his hand and patted Master Lu's shoulder, and said: "Master Lu, don't worry, as long as Datang is in one day, the craftsmen in the world will get the name they deserve. ”

"Thank you, old man, Your Highness." Master Lu made a ninety-degree bow.

"Master Lu doesn't need to do this, these are things that should be done alone." Li Shen hurriedly helped Master Lu up and said, "By the way, are the bullet casings ready?" ”

"Ready, ready, all stored in another room."

Li Shen nodded and said, "Put all these things on the wooden wheeled cart, Gu will be useful tomorrow, and send another hundred bullet shells over." ”

Master Lu nodded slightly, and said, "Wait for the old man to make arrangements." ”

"Okay, Master Lu, Lone also has something to deal with, so I'll leave first, if there is something, let someone tell Lone directly."

"Your Highness, go slowly."

The cannon has been cast, and Li Shen doesn't know what the effect is, how far it can hit, and he doesn't know if it will blow up or not, if it is according to what Master Lu said, it should be impossible for this cannon barrel to explode. There must be some excitement in my heart, once this thing appears, it will completely rewrite the situation of the war, and the thermal weapons will be strictly controlled, maybe the thing that rewrites the dynasty will not really happen.

Li Shen knew that the cannon had come out, and the next thing was to specialize in developing pistols and submachine guns, although there were some difficulties, but the difficulties were quickly and easily solved, and the world would be completely changed at that time.

Hurry up and rush to His Royal Highness Xuanzheng, Li Shen jumped off the horse and quickly ran towards the palace.

"Erchen has seen his father." Li Shen saluted and shouted to His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Of course it's a good thing. Father will see you at the gate of Suzaku tomorrow morning, let's go to the eastern suburbs, and give you a surprise when the time comes. Erchen still has something to do, so I'll leave first, so you're busy. Li Shen said with a smile, turned around, bowed to the eldest grandson Wuji, and said, "Uncle, if it's okay later, please pass by Lone's East Palace when you go back, Lone has something to do with you." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji smiled slightly and nodded.

Near evening, Li Shen listened to the eunuch's shouting voice, and hurriedly ran out of the hall, looked at the smiling eldest grandson Wuji, and said, "I've seen my uncle." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded slightly, and said, "What is the matter with the old man?" ”

"Let's go into the hall and talk, Gu has also prepared some wine and food, and the two of us will talk while drinking."

For the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shen is a little disliked, relying on the old guy who sells the old, seeing his appearance as a hanger, he wants to smoke him, no wonder he was exiled by Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang in the end, how to say that Li Zhi is also his nephew, even if Wu Meiniang blows the pillow wind, if he doesn't dislike him, it is impossible to attack him.

"Uncle, please." Li Shen poured a glass of wine into the wine glass of the eldest grandson Wuji and said with a smile.

The eldest grandson Wuji took a breath from the wine glass, nodded slightly, and said: "Chang'an is drunk, there is the best wine in a restaurant, a bottle of two hundred yuan, it seems that you have something to ask the old man this time." ”

"It's not a thing, it's just a little trivial, I hope my uncle can help with it, Lone here can't find time to get these things, and it's a win-win situation, you are Lone's uncle, Lone will definitely take care of his family." Li Shen said with a smile.

"Let's talk about it."

"You also know that Gu is arranging people to build roads these days, and I guess my father has also told you." Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji nodded, he continued: "It is a new type of road, this kind of road is called a cement road, and it needs to use steel ......."

"You mean to ask the old man to provide you with rebar?"
