"I heard the old servant say before, this Mrs. Wang's mother was a famous flower within a radius of hundreds of miles in our Linxian County when she was young, and after being favored by the old man of the Chen family, she wanted to accept her as a concubine, but the old man Chen is a master who is afraid of the inside, and the brother of the husband's family is the prefect, and he is very strong, so he insisted on finding someone to harm this old mother, blinded her, and was driven out of the village."

"My lord, you say, if this matter is made known to the county magistrate, with the character of the county master, this surname Chen will not die." Wang Er shook his head and said.

"Whether this is true or not, then how did his daughter Mrs. Wang fall into Yao Zhaonian's hands?" Xiao Jian said curiously.

"I don't know about this little one, the little one dared to interject, after Mrs. Wang's mother was kicked out of the village, it didn't take long for her to become pregnant." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Jian, with an arrogant expression that I didn't know what other gossip was.

"According to you, this Madame Wang or this bastard's half-sister? You are not mistaken. ”

"It's just my own speculation about this small paragraph, ahem."

"Get out." Xiao Jian doesn't know what to do now, this relationship is complicated enough, it's better to ask the adult.

"Don't be the daughter of the old man of the Chen family, if you take someone to copy Chenjiazhuang, the joke will be bigger." Xiao Jian thought.

After Xiao Jin heard this, he said, "This thing is enough to fuck up, and now this Mrs. Wang doesn't want to pay attention to me, so you can go to the cell and ask that bastard, if it's really a brother and sister, you will beat that bastard and then let it go." ”

"I don't think it's okay, my lord still finds an opportunity to ask Mrs. Wang what she means, after all, Chen Jiazhuang caused her mother to be blind."

Xiao Jin thought about it, this mother and daughter were really miserable, "In this way, you and I should have never heard this, you took someone to copy Chenjiazhuang first, as long as it doesn't hurt people's lives, it's okay, and other things are too much, even if they are real brothers and sisters, I didn't do anything wrong when I think about it." ”

"I'll go tomorrow."

Xiao Jin is now very short of silver, and he can't build a semi-modern army with the materials of a county alone. The fastest money should be the sale of tea and illicit salt in this era. There is also the need to get some modern supplies out to seek violent profits.

Thousands of miles away in the capital.

"Lord Zhongtang, the lower officials to find out what happened before and after, it is indeed as Jia Ergongzi said, it is Xiao Jin's so-called, and he also learned that the three masters and servants of this Yijia Courtyard are now living in Huizhou Mansion."

"You go and let go of the nephew of Jia Shilang's family, remove all his fame, move back to his hometown, and never hire him, as for Yang Xuezheng."

"Humble duty understands!"

"The emperor meant to release him and take his official position, do you think he should be released?"

"My lord, if you don't let it go, it's a protest against the decree, but I think it's better to release it first, and wait for the emperor to forget about it, and then find a crime to arrest him, isn't it easy for Lord Zhongtang?"

"Hehe, is this kind of person like this official, you can do it according to your wishes first." Mingzhu stood up to see off the passengers.

Looking at Fu Yi who was far away, he returned to the study and wrote a letter and asked the housekeeper to send someone to send it to Mo Ke, the governor of Guizhou.

After several days, under Xiao Jin's waiting, the workshop finally came with good news, the first sample finally came out, and Xiao Jin happily ran to see the gun.

Xiao Jin was very disappointed at a glance, the gun model is very rough, and the appearance looks twisted, the size is very different from later generations, it feels very incongruous, the butt is short, the tail is in contact with the human shoulder, it is very narrow, because the force area is too small, resulting in a large recoil force, and the shock is very strong, which affects the soldier's shooting accuracy and durability, and will shorten the life of the gun.

I didn't see the bayonet place of the later equipment they left, the barrel was too thick, it felt like an enlarged version of the bird barrel, and the craftsman loaded the ammunition and tested a shot, the effective range was less than 50 meters, and it was basically impossible to find the north when flying out.

How to use this thing for soldiers, this broken thing costs four hundred taels, and the archers with more strength at this time far exceed this thing in terms of rate of fire and range. Isn't this spending money to find discomfort?

Xiao Jin wanted to scold people, a group of two hundred and five, his design ideas were so clear, he even had rough drawings, and he actually made such a thing.

Seeing the exhaustion and submissive expressions on their faces, they couldn't scold them anymore, after all, Xiao Jin's own knowledge and knowledge of firearms are inherent, and they have been optimized for hundreds of years to form a formula, just like a formula, it changes and changes, the formula will not change, what changes is only the difference in it, just because this is the most reasonable.

Some of these people have only seen bird barrels, not to mention some people who have never seen what a gun looks like.

Xiao Jin asked people to carry a wooden plank and found some pot bottom ash, so that they could give them a good science and engineering lesson.

After the thing came, the gun was dismantled, and everyone was beckoned to listen carefully, "First of all, the first question, the proportion and structure of the gun, let's analyze the appearance first, I know why the proportion of this gun Mo is so different from the sketch I drew, the first one, the barrel is too thick, not up to my requirements, resulting in the part of the gun Mo below is too fat, bulky, this barrel problem I have emphasized, must meet my standards." “

The old blacksmith heard the adult talk about the problem of the barrel, and said with a bitter face, "My lord, the old man has really tried his best, this iron pipe is really small, it took the old man a day of hard work to roll out the barrel, no matter how thin it is, the practice clamp can't reach in." ”

"This problem will be said, I know that you have difficulties, you are not afraid of difficulties when you are free, what you are afraid of is that you are not willing to solve it, I will analyze all the problems first."

"This second problem is still the problem of the gun model, that is, the butt, I will show you the action of shooting the gun."

Xiao Jin gestured at the design of the rifle, and everyone looked at this strange action, and their eyes lit up.

Xiao Yijin pointed to the butt and his shoulder and said, "This part of the butt is too small, when the soldier shoots, the recoil must be very large, everyone is an experienced master, you should be able to understand what I mean, this part must be increased to reduce the recoil, that is, the shock." ”

"The third issue is tightness." Xiao Jin opened the back hall and poured out some unburned gunpowder, "The gun is too rough and has not been polished, resulting in poor sealing, you see, there are still some gunpowder that have not been ignited, which leads to the range not meeting my requirements." ”

"The fourth problem is the bayonet, if the barrel size is strictly according to my requirements, the position of the bayonet interface" will come out, if it really doesn't work, spend more time, first make a qualified mold, and then pour in iron slurry, in fine grinding. ”

After everyone listened, they suddenly became enlightened, the gunpowder master saw that he had nothing to do, and was about to leave, Xiao Jin saw him and thought about it, and said, "Master, wait a minute, I forgot to tell you about gunpowder last time, there is nothing wrong with this fire primer, it is this black powder, I mean it is made into a fixed quantity, a long cylinder, wrapped with combustibles outside, so that the soldiers can reduce the time of filling gunpowder, and it also greatly facilitates logistics and transportation." ”

When the master heard this, it was indeed a good idea, but what kind of flammable material should be used to wrap it, and he asked himself, "My lord, what kind of flammable material is used to wrap this, if it is made of straw paper, I am afraid that a large amount of ashes will be left after burning." ”

Xiao Jin shook his head and said, "Since you have to do your best, use rice paper, the kind of the first layer, don't talk first, I know you want to talk about the cost, don't be afraid, just wrap it in rice paper, you must test more of this charge, it is best to have data comparison, that is, try a few more times, how far can the amount of charge be played, you know what I mean, let Mr. Zheng cooperate with you." Try to keep it in a reasonable range, don't waste it, and don't amount less, if you say more, it will also lead to insufficient combustion, or if the sealing is very good, it will explode. ”

Xiao Jin saw that everyone was communicating with each other, and it seemed that there were still many people who didn't understand, so he simply said, "In this way, this official has been living with you for the past few days, and you can come and ask any questions at any time, and wait for the samples to come out." ”

When everyone heard this, they all blamed themselves, "Thank you, Lord for understanding." ”
