Mrs. Kong's beautiful face showed a look of embarrassment, and she said in a loud voice: "My grandson has always been kind, and most of the items provided by Lord Zhang have been taken out to help those poor military households and displaced people......

Zhang Han realized that Kong Minxing didn't take silver, and the supply was given according to the rank of the officer, of course, it was very rich, but this person was really chivalrous, and he ate it at home, but he took the fish and meat food he supplied to others.

Mrs. Kong said: "Most of our food at home is like this, but we are used to it. Besides, the people's fat and people's ointment are all hard-won, and my grandson often weeps sadly when he sees the poverty of those military households......"

Of course, her words are not to accuse Zhang Han, after Zhang Han took office, with Acropolis and Li Zhuang as the core, as long as the lives of people related to Li Zhuang or He Yusheng have been changed to a greater or lesser extent, for the more than 10,000 tenant farmers under Zhang Han's rule, life has been much better than before.

What the Kong couple saw was the military households who were divided up by small and medium-sized officers and became serfs, and Zhang Han did not annex those people's acres, and of course there was no way to improve their lives.

As for working in Lizhuang, it was mainly self-cultivated farmers and tenant farmers, and if ordinary military households did not flee, their personal freedom would be restricted.

"My grandson once lamented that people say that annexing land is a great evil, but if Lord Zhang is willing to vigorously annex it, it will be a good thing for those military households......"

Zhang Han smiled bitterly and said: "Zunfu also thinks too highly of me, the large and small plots are in the hands of hundreds of officers, and it is very difficult to do such a thing, to be honest, it is thankless......"

There was a hint of blame in Mrs. Kong's words, and Zhang Han had to defend himself.

"This grandson also understand......s," Mrs. Kong said, "so he doesn't mention it in front of adults, but just does his best to help if he can." ”

"Yes," Zhang Han said: "I don't care about anything else, the family is here, the supply will be doubled, and I hope that Mrs. will not refuse." When children are growing up, they must not be delayed. ”

Zhang Han saw that this Mrs. Kong was from a scholarly family, and he was afraid that this woman was too arrogant and would refuse to give him an ugly look on the spot.

Fortunately, Mrs. Kong was not like this, and there was some happy look on her face, Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that no matter how lonely a woman is, she loves her children after all.

After going out, Zhang Han instructed Li Mengnian: "I will ask someone to send some fish and meat in a while, count it as my personal gift, and don't record it in the public account." ”

Li Mengnian agreed with a smile, and said casually: "Everything in Li Zhuang belongs to adults, so why bother to calculate public and private accounts." ”

"Different." Zhang Han said: "The Kong family doesn't have to settle the public account, they will only accept it if they count me." ”

Li Mengnian hurriedly agreed, but looking at his expression, he may not really understand what Zhang Han meant.

Everyone went to the direction of the Firearms Bureau again, and when they were two or three miles away, they heard the rumbling cannon, Zhang Han said with a smile: "I remember, today is a trial release of a twelve-pound cannon." ”

Sun Jingting frowned and said: "It's not that it's best to use four-pounder guns and six-pounder guns in field battles, nine-pounder guns are already a little too big, why do you still try twelve-pounder guns?" ”

Zhang Han said with a smile: "There are still eighteen-pound, twenty-four-pound, and thirty-six-pound cannons, and I have always got seventy-two pounder cannons."

"Huh?"

"On the battlefield, it is indeed the end of the nine-pounder cannon......," Zhang Han explained: "The four-pounder gun weighs 700 catties, the nine-pounder cannon is 1,100 catties, and the twelve-pounder cannon is 1,500 catties. ”

"I see." Sun Jingting said: "Shipbuilding may be a year or two later, but now we have to test the ship's guns first, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, ......" Zhang Han agreed with a smile, and at this time, the sound of the cannon fell silent, and people quickened their pace and followed Zhang Han into the test site of the Firearms Bureau.

"Your Excellency is here."

The test artillery field is facing north and south, there are sentries on duty at the door, Zhang Han also showed his waist card when he entered, and soon after a group of people entered, someone found them.

Wang Debang was sweating profusely to catch up, there was some nervousness in his eyes, he crossed his hand to Zhang Han, and said, "My lord, come to see the test gun?" ”

"Not exactly." Zhang Han smiled: "But of course, you have to take a look." ”

"Yes......" Wang Debang swallowed his saliva and said: "It's a little strange, try the twelve-pound cannon today, Joao and they are not there, no matter how they debug, they can't hit the target......

Zhang Han was just about to speak, when he saw a middle-aged man with a thin figure standing next to the cannon, holding a hard pen and cardboard in his hand, grabbing his hair and calculating.

"Which one is this?" Sun Jingting asked, "Looking at the eyes, it doesn't look like one of ours." ”

Wang Debang said: "This is the friend brought by Mr. Kong, several of them say that they like the theory of firearms, this Mr. Sun has also written books, and we have repeatedly missed the target, and this Mr. Sun is also enthusiastic, and wants to help calculate the trajectory." ”

At this time, the middle-aged man surnamed Sun threw away the cardboard and shouted: "Wrong, it's not that the calculation of the gun gauge and rectangular degree is wrong, it's that the charge is wrong, according to the distance and the weight of the shell, this projection needs to add three more coins!" ”

This person seems to be an idiot, Kong Minxing has already come to greet Zhang Han, and others have also come over to greet each other, but this person only counts his own, and after calculating, he is shouting, and his face is full of excitement and ecstasy, it seems that he is immersed in his own world, and he can't extricate himself for a while.

"This is Sun Chuyang......" Kong Minxing said with some embarrassment: "It's the teacher's proud protégé, who is very interested in military firearms, because he heard that there is a firearms bureau in Lizhuang, so he thought about coming, and this is what it looks like......"

"It's Sun Yuanhua......" Zhang Han's face moved, and he looked at the middle-aged man not far away with some surprise.

Sun Yuanhua, the word Chuyang, a native of Jiading, Jiangnan, studied under Tang Shisheng, a disciple of Gui Youguang when he was a teenager, and was later recommended by Tang Shisheng to study in Xu Guangqi's school, when he was young, Xu Guangqi entered Beijing as an official, and Sun Yuanhua also followed him into Beijing.

Mao Yuanyi of the Donglin Party is taking such a path, Sun Yuanhua surpasses Mao Yuanyi in reputation, his mentor Xu Guangqi is a native of Jiangnan, and he can barely be regarded as Donglin, in fact, he is now a non-party person, and he retains a relatively transcendent position inside and outside Donglin, Xu Guangqi's academic ability is first-class, and the DPRK also knows that this person is a capable talent, plus Xu Guangqi and Zou Yuanbiao and other Donglin bigwigs have a lot of friendship, and no one in the DPRK is embarrassed by him.

Because of the teacher's face, although Sun Yuanhua was a person, he was recommended by Sun Chengzong as the secretary of the military department.

The greatness of this man is not his achievements in Baguwen, nor in his achievements in agriculture...... Xu Guangqi was a generalist, and his disciples also studied the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", such as Kong Minxing, but there were also geniuses like Sun Yuanhua who were only interested in military science, arithmetic, and geometry.

In his twenties, Sun Yuanhua was baptized with Xu Guangqi and became a Catholic, and later translated the "Geometric Original" with Matteo Ricci, making great contributions, and then Sun Yuanhua himself wrote "Western Miscellaneous Works", "Geometric Usage", "Geometric Body Theory" and other mathematical monographs...... It can be said that Sun Yuanhua's achievements in mathematics have surpassed those missionaries and his own teachers.

Sun Yuanhua, who is very strong in mathematics, is also a firearms expert and a master of military science, he is the author of "Western Divine Machine", trial-produced the gun gauge for measuring the elevation angle of artillery, and standardized the artillery medicine package, and also translated the moment with Xu Guangqi, which is the method of measuring distance, and also authored "Jingwu Quanyao" and other military books, in the late Ming Dynasty, in the ballistics and artillery manufacturing and use, no one should be able to surpass Sun Yuanhua.

At this time, Wang Debang said to Zhang Han: "My lord, do you want to listen to this gentleman and try it?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Han pressed his mood, looked at Sun Yuanhua again, and decided to give up.

Sun Yuanhua has been famous all over the world, authored a number of monographs, the Ming Dynasty people are still knowledgeable, not like those stupid birds in the Qing Dynasty do not know the size of the world, Xu Guangqi This kind of identity people can join the religion, Zou Yuanbiao and Zhang Juzheng have been above the standard of the cow, and also commented that the doctrine of Catholicism is "no different from the saying of my saint", and made a positive affirmation, although Sun Yuanhua is not a jinshi, but his achievements in Western studies have far exceeded the average jinshi, this person will not only be able to be an official in the future, but also no worse than the second-class Jinshi, such an identity of people, It's not the target I can recruit at this time......

Wang Debang and others took the medicine bag, added the medicine bag according to Sun Yuanhua's instructions, and then re-tied the medicine bag, then stuffed it, ignited it, and everything was carried out according to the procedure.

Sun Yuanhua looked excited, and laughed loudly: "I just said that according to the rules and rectangles of the meter, how can you miss the hit!" ”

Wang Debang was also very happy and said to humanity: "Record the new dose, and the people in the artillery crew will continue to calculate and continue to fire." ”

Sun Yuanhua heard it on the side, and said strangely: "If this cannon is not stored in the warehouse, or will it be handed over to the artillery team for use, and you will continue to try?" ”

Wang Debang said: "This is a test cannon, and it will not be used by the artillery team until it is broken." ”

"Why is that?"

"A cannon from the state after casting, to normal use, wear and tear gun bore use, there are always different states, to record these measured data, the artillery team on how to use and maintain different types of artillery has a number, in addition to our continuous testing, we can also record the impact point, dosage, artillery in different terrain data......
