For Su Ziheng, he didn't think that the concept of the family and the country was wrong, nor did he say that the layout of the front hall and the back bed was not good, but he purely felt that such a design was too wasteful of construction area.

The biggest difference between the Donghai County Government and other state capitals is that it is the private fiefdom of Zhong Qinghan, the princess of Donghai County. Zhong Qinghan alone has the final say on everything in the fiefdom, she will definitely build a princess mansion in Donghai County, and she will live in the princess's mansion most of the time, even if she goes to the mansion office, she will not really stay in the mansion for a lot of time.

In addition, the county lord of Donghai is a princess after all, and most of the people serving in the palace will be palace maids. If it is built in the palace according to the pattern of the front hall and the back bed, the influence of so many palace maids in the back hall is not good, it is better to simply cancel the pattern of the back bed and change it to a temporary resting place for officials.

As soon as Su Ziheng explained this, everyone felt that it made sense, and even Zhong Qinghan himself accepted this suggestion. Zhao Chengming is also as good as a stream, and for him, it is simpler not to build the princess's bedroom in the palace.

……

……

After discussing the construction of the Donghai County Mansion, Su Ziheng finally noticed that Master Ou Yao Jiu, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, was standing behind him at this moment, each holding a flintlock pistol in his arms.

Su Ziheng smiled and asked, "Master Crow Nine, dare to ask if you have already built a flintlock pistol?" ”

Ou Yajiu couldn't help but have a smug look on his face, and when he smiled, the goatee on his chin trembled, "Back to your lord's words, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life, the old man has instructed a few disciples to build two flintlock pistols according to the samples you provided, and specially sent them to your lordship to see." ”

Su Ziheng stood up from his seat, walked quickly to Ou Yajiu's side, and took the newly made flintlock pistol from his disciple's hand. Looking at the shape, it is no different from what he took out of the base warehouse.

Su Ziheng wanted to go out immediately to find ammunition for a test shot, but when he turned around, he inadvertently saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Yao Fusu, and the impulse in his heart was extinguished again. Now the flintlock pistol is the most secret weapon in Donghai County, and it can't be easily displayed in front of strangers.

also blamed himself for not making it clear to Ou Yajiu at the beginning, and told them to keep it a secret. But fortunately, most of the people present are from the Princess Mansion of Donghai County, and these two flintlock pistols are not loaded with ammunition, so they are not much different from two burning sticks, and they are not afraid of being seen through the secrets for a while.

Su Ziheng took the two flintlock pistols, asked Shi Meng to keep them, and smiled at Ou Ya Jiu: "It's hard work Master Ya Jiu, the ammunition has not been produced yet, and I will notify the master when the test firing is due." I didn't live and there are places that need to be modified, so please trouble you, master. ”

Ou Yajiu lightly twisted the goate's beard and said, "It's easy to say, follow the orders of the adults at any time." ”

……

……

Zhong Qinghan smiled and looked at Su Ziheng arranging work, and felt sweet in his heart, it feels good to have someone who can really help him. And he is also extraordinary, and he can arrange everything in an orderly manner.

In addition to Zhong Qinghan, there is another person in the county who is also looking at her with envy, this person is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Yao Fusu.

Yao Fusu doesn't have many available manpower under his hands like Zhong Qinghan, he is full of talents in the East Palace Prince's Mansion, and all the military officials under him are extraordinary, but there are almost no people like Su Ziheng who are selfless and treat each other sincerely.

He seemed to have recruited Su Ziheng to serve in the Prince's Mansion, but he also knew that Su Ziheng would not agree, so he didn't speak. Anyway, it is a good start to be able to cooperate with Su Ziheng in business now, as for the future relationship, we can only talk about it later.

Su Ziheng turned his head and glanced around the lobby, and found that the crown princess Beigong Qing had a little tiredness on her face, knowing that she was seasick and not resting well, and he and Yao Fusu had listened to their meeting for a long time, and they must have been extremely tired.

He got up and said: "Everyone has worked hard today, why don't you go to Su's mansion for a light meal, which can be regarded as washing the dust for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, how about it?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all overjoyed and said, "Good! ”

Many of them are old people who set off from Xining with Su Ziheng, and they admire the craftsmanship of Su Ziheng's chef very much. Every time I hear that I went to Su Mansion to eat, I can salivate.

I always feel that the dishes made by the Su Fu chef are varied, with unique tastes and delicious tastes. They all thought that the cook's skills were good, but they didn't know that Su Ziheng took out a lot of ingredients from the base space to cook such a delicious meal.

Su Ziheng had secretly made up his mind, and after the infrastructure construction in Donghai County was completed, he asked his sister-in-law Zhang Wanqing to come out and open a restaurant, so that she would not be bored at home all day long.

After the banquet was over, everyone was sent away, and Su Ziheng took Shi Meng and several other members of the escort team, and went to the gunpowder workshop to find Danyangzi Wang Boyang to get some ammunition made of granular black powder.

At the back of the powder shop, there was a specially carved out yard for experimenting with gunpowder and ammunition weapons.

Su Ziheng asked Shi Meng to find an arrow target and erect it at a position of 100 meters and 50 meters respectively. He then took the flintlock pistol that Ou Ya Jiu and his disciples had made, and taught Shi Meng how to use it.

Su Ziheng first made a demonstration, put the prepared ammunition into the muzzle of the flintlock pistol, found a wooden stick one size smaller than the muzzle, and used a wooden hammer to stuff the ammunition into the chamber.

This method of operation is relatively backward, the loading speed is slow, Su Ziheng is also temporarily used when testing the gun, and after confirming that the flintlock gun is fine, the method of loading ammunition will be improved.

After loading the ammunition, Su Ziheng raised the flintlock pistol and pulled the trigger on the target fifty meters away.

"Bang!" A cloud of green smoke came out, and the bullet burst out of the chamber under the push of black powder, hitting the arrow target in front of it.

Shi Meng ran forward to take a look, and reported the result loudly: "Master, the bullet hit the target, but it was far away from the bull's-eye, and it was almost off target." ”

Su Ziheng asked, "How powerful is it?" ”

Shi Meng said: "The bullet passes through the target, not much worse than the bow and arrow, but the accuracy is much lower." ”

Su Ziheng said with a smile: "It's already very good, an excellent archer can't reach such accuracy in a few years." And the flintlock pistol only needs to be trained for more than ten days to reach this point, which advantage do you say is greater? Let's try again how accurate the distance is 100 meters, this time for you. ”

Su Ziheng handed another flintlock pistol to Shi Meng and asked him to try it. As a result, Su Ziheng frowned, and with Shi Meng's sharp eyes, he missed the target three times at a position of 100 meters, and missed once.

Later, when the target was moved to a position of 80 meters, it was shot three times, hitting the target twice and missing the target once, and the one that hit the target was also in the red heart.

The distance was moved to a distance of fifty meters, and all ten times were hit, and it seems that the effective hit distance of the flintlock pistol was eighty meters, and it was best to be close to fifty meters to ensure the hit rate.
