After the successful test launch, Xu Guangqi immediately excitedly reported the news to Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun was overjoyed, and immediately went out of the city to the test site of the Ministry of Military Industry to personally watch the launch site of the Mutuo solid bomb.

After Xiao Ruxun arrived, Xu Guangqi personally arranged a test firing and fired five shells in a row, which was a good innovation compared with the solid bullets that had never used wooden supports, with a longer distance, a corrected position, and a more accurate target strike.

Xiao Ruxun knew that this kind of shell was basically successfully developed, and nodded in praise, Xu Guangqi was very happy.

"To be able to do something for the soldiers, is Weichen's greatest wish all along, and now to do this, the minister is very happy, but Your Majesty, this wooden soft support is easy to do, and the wooden soft support is also easy to do, but the wooden fuse that His Majesty said with the flowering bomb of the wooden soft support, the minister has no clue."

Xiao Ruxun said: "There is no need to worry about this, if you want to make a flowering shell that can be fired by the Hongyi cannon, you must do a good job of the fuse, and you must also strengthen the hardness of the shell shell, otherwise once the bore is blown up, the four gunners will be doomed." ”

"Minister, minister is guilty."

Xu Guangqi knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Xiao Ruxun helped Xu Guangqi up.

"I have ordered the care of their families, fortunately they are not the only children in the family, I gave money, gave tax-free land, and they all accepted it, this can only be regarded as a tragedy, you but you also have to take warning, this kind of thing, can only be done by death row prisoners and prisoners of war, in Myanmar I have stipulated, you don't listen."

Xu Guangqi didn't speak, and he probably had a relative.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, you still have to pay more attention to this wooden fuse."

Xiao Ruxun shook his head.

"Of course, of course, the minister knows this, but, Your Majesty, what should be done if this gunpowder burns slowly? If the gunpowder burns fast and fully, it must be made into granules, so if it burns slowly, it must all become powder? ”

"That's not enough, it's just relatively slow, but, probably it's still too late, what we want is to bloom on the ground, not to explode when flying, let alone explode in the barrel of the cannon, it's useless to study whether gunpowder is granules or powder, you have to improve the gunpowder formula."

Charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur, you go to find a way, saltpeter sulfur can't change, you try other wood charcoal, or try to change the ratio, always find the one that burns slowly, enough for us to shoot the shells out, land and explode, by the way, how is the new Weiyuan general cannon transformed? ”

Xiao Ruxun continued to ask.

Xu Guangqi said: "According to His Majesty's request, we have slightly lengthened the body of General Weiyuan's cannon and thickened the inner wall, and its appearance has been greatly improved, but the flowering shell has not yet found a suitable one, and the fuse will not be completed for a while." ”

"I know that you arrange things step by step to do it, as long as you do your best, I won't be too harsh, you just need to remember one thing, any invention is not a success, you can make a thousand kinds of military equipment, it is success."

Xu Guangqi bowed deeply: "Your Majesty's words, the minister will keep it in mind. ”

"Okay, just remember, you can arrange more solid shells for the manufacture of wooden support, and I will go back first."

Xiao Ruxun turned around and left the test site of the Ministry of Military Industry.

Xu Guangqi watched Xiao Ruxun leave.

To be honest, at this time last year, he had not yet accepted the fact that the Ming Dynasty no longer existed.

But for more than a year, he has completely accepted this fact, and it is not okay if he does not accept it, the rule of Great Qin is becoming more and more stable, and the Ming Dynasty will indeed not come back.

Moreover, if you really want to talk about it, this Great Qin is more in line with the ideal country in his heart.

You can't see corruption, you can't see the squire bullies rampant, you can't see the emperor who can't see the stiff relationship between the court and his courtiers, and you can't see the court where the party struggle is fierce and there is never a day of rest.

How Xiao Ruxun's throne came about, everyone knows how many people he has killed since he became emperor for more than a year.

The court was killed by him inside and out, all of them were replaced by their own people, and the old ministers of the former Ming Dynasty were almost swept away, and only a group of high-ranking officials were still retained, I am afraid that they are also buying time for the growth of new officials.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor of the new dynasty is sweeping away everything in the former Ming Dynasty, vigorously eliminating dissidents, and even the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are not spared......

But Great Qin's rule was stabilized day by day.

Xu Guangqi also thought that Xiao Ruxun was a madman at first, and he was crazy, but he really dared to attack the deep-rooted local gentry and local tyrants, and he also urged the peasants to launch a riot, and directly uprooted them with nothing left.

All normal people feel that this is self-defeating, but there is such a group of abnormal people who help Xiao Ruxun do this, and the gentry who are vying for power in the local and central governments have been washed in blood, and the local government has become extremely stable.

The people have never been chaotic or rebellious, but have become more vigorous.

In the first year of the founding of the Great Qin, the commercial and agricultural taxes of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River could support a war of more than 100,000 people, and the local mobilization situation was quite gratifying, which reminded many officials with profound historical skills of the "violent Qin" recorded in the history books.

It turns out that Tyranny is like that?

Xu Guangqi was poor, his family did not have much land, and in the land reform, his family was divided into a large piece of land, and he became a vested interest, and he was also designated as a book when the new dynasty department was reorganized.

He understands what it means to be eclectic and reduce talents, but the new emperor is inevitably too resolute.

The people who thought that the new dynasty was about to collapse were dumbfounded, and seeing that the rule was stable day by day, they always felt that they had made a mistake somewhere.

Since the Qin Dynasty, the land of China, which had not really had imperial power in the countryside, seemed to be quite adaptable to this, and after just a bloody storm, the place was stabilized, and production and order began to be restored, and it began to become prosperous.

The southeastern maritime trade flourished, and the ships of the Great Qin Sea continued to advance to Korea, Japan, and the vassal states of Southeast Asia.

The commercial tax revenue of several coastal provinces and cities has become an important financial revenue of the new Great Qin, and the proportion of agricultural tax has been greatly squeezed, and there is a great tendency to develop towards the Song Dynasty.

The Great Qin army became more and more capable of fighting, the equipment became better and better, the training became more and more severe, and the combat effectiveness was significantly improved compared with the Northern Expedition.

After the founding of the country, the first major battle of Liaodong was a complete victory, fully demonstrating the prestige of Great Qin to the vassal states.

Fifteen days after the start of the Second Battle of Banzhou, Yang Yinglong, who had 100,000 troops, was defeated, and all the Tusi in the southwest bowed down at the feet of the Great Qin army and trembled, not daring to make a mistake.

At the same time as martial arts flourished, the new emperor was also promoting the rule of culture, and to do something unprecedented, to establish official schools in several coastal provinces, called schools, claiming to establish Mongolian schools in every village, so that every child could read and write.

Adults can also use the night time to learn to read and write in Mengxue, not for anything else, just to be able to directly understand the imperial edict in the future, without being easily deceived by the hands of others, and can judge right and wrong by themselves.

The emperor also summoned many people to improve the method of literacy, and it is said that he would use the pinyin reading method, using strange characters to phonetize Chinese characters, saying that it was to make it easier for children to learn to read and write, lay a good foundation, and then go to more advanced schools to learn new knowledge.

All this made Xu Guangqi feel that he was eye-opening.
