Chapter 49 Trial production of firearms
Remembering that the current shotgun explodes from time to time, Fang Xing specially used the double-layer forging method to make the barrel. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Design a platform, then make a semicircular long groove on top of the platform......"
Fang Xing took out a blank piece of paper and wrote.
"The iron plate should be long, so that it can be forged repeatedly and finally form a double-layer structure."
Of course, the single-layer barrel can't be compared with the double-layer one, but the amount of processing is larger, but Fang Xing believes that as long as it can stimulate the enthusiasm of the craftsmen, then these are not a problem.
"It's up to you to do this, you want money, money, and people."
Fang Xing casually took out a steel rod, and Zhu Fang's eyes lit up when he saw it.
Fang Xing smiled: "The diameter of this steel rod is just used as a mandrel for rolling the barrel, and I will hand it over to you now." ”
"Good steel!"
Zhu Fang only struck a few times, and judged the quality of this steel rod from the sound.
Fang woke up and said to Zhu Zhanji: "The technical things will be solved by me, but you can get the iron materials." ”
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "No problem, as much as you want." ”
If Fang Xing could develop a powerful musket, then this merit would be enough to raise the status of Donggong father and son in the army.
At present, the father and son of Donggong have only received most of the support of the civilian system, but in the military, those nobles and the king of Han once fought side by side, and the friendship is not fake. And in recent years, with the rebound of the civil service system, those nobles have found themselves faintly suppressed.
This trend was unbearable for the nobles, so they also rebounded, and they succeeded. Therefore, after Zhu Zhanji's untimely death, there was a change in the civil fort, a large number of nobles were martyred, and the responsibility for the defeat was also pushed to the nobles and Wang Zhen.
At this point, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty finally succeeded in counterattacking, pressing the nobles and military attaches to the corner of the wall, and never turned over.
Therefore, there is a saying in later generations that the change of Tumubao is actually an action carefully planned by the civil official system of the Ming Dynasty, the purpose of which is to overthrow the noble system that is equal to themselves, and they do not hesitate to exhaust the last vitality of the Ming Dynasty.
After finishing the matter, Fang Xing looked at Zhu Zhanji's eyes with bubbles, and said seriously: "You are... Young people need to be temperate! ”
"Ahh
Zhu Zhanji was thinking about how to tell his father about this, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in shame: "Brother Dehua, the younger brother is thinking about the workshop day and night, but unlike you, I couldn't find anyone at noon yesterday......"
"Ahem!"
With the thickness of Fang Xing's face, he was still a little embarrassed by these words.
Yesterday at noon, he was just a little tired, so he took a nap.
Young man, everyone understands, he was a little angry when he woke up, so he closed the door and had an in-depth exchange with Zhang Shuhui. It turned out to be good, and I was in good spirits all day.
Zhu Zhanji laughed proudly, and then went to find his prince's father.
If you want iron materials, you really have to report it first, otherwise the villain will ...... For example, Shang Dequan, who is Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, and Li Qi, must take the opportunity to make trouble.
"What?"
In the workshop, when Shang Dequan heard Li Qi's report, his eyes almost fell, and he was stunned: "The imperial grandson wants to try to make a musket in Fangjiazhuang?" ”
Li Qi said proudly: "Lord Shang, one of my subordinates inquired about this matter, and I heard that the imperial grandson is going to use that Zhu Fang as the main thing to create a new type of musket. ”
"This ......"
When people in officialdom hear about it, their first reaction is not to evaluate the benefits of this matter to the country, but to first evaluate what benefits they can gain from this matter.
Shang Dequan stroked his beard and asked with gloomy eyes, "Do you think this is reliable?" ”
"Unreliable!"
Li Qi gloated and said: "That Zhu Fang used to be just a craftsman with better skills in the workshop, we have a lot of this kind of craftsman here, if he Zhu Fang wants to create a sharp weapon, hehe!" That's a big joke! ”
Shang Dequan squinted his eyes and wondered if he could use this incident to hit the prince, and asked casually, "Are you sure?" ”
"Of course."
Although Li Qi only knew a little about the manufacture of muskets, it did not prevent him from judging the results with his previous experience in managing the workshop.
Lao Tzu has been working in the workshop for many years, if the new firearms were so easy to develop, Lao Tzu would have been promoted a long time ago, okay!
"Humph!"
Shang Dequan snorted coldly, and then waved his hand and said: "If the prince writes, then give them them, as long as it is not excessive, give them all the materials, if they can't get anything good at that time, I want to see what kind of guilt it is to waste money and just for the curiosity of one person!" ”
Li Qi nodded and was about to go out, but Shang Dequan stopped him again, and after a long silence, he said: "Since His Royal Highness Taisun is also interested, then you should also move here, otherwise others will accuse us of being a corpse vegetarian meal!" ”
Li Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, this is to let me also develop new weapons!
Others don't know about the tricks in the development of new weapons, but Li Qi can't understand it anymore, and he responded happily: "Yes, when the time comes, there will be gratitude here, and please don't refuse." ”
Shang Dequan waved his hand, and after Li Qi left, he couldn't wait to write a letter, in which he informed the Han King Zhu Gaoxi of the matter, and then expressed his attitude of not being optimistic about the matter, hoping that the Han King would take the opportunity to teach the prince and his son a lesson.
Handing the letter to his confidant, Shangde went outside humming a little song.
……
The weather is getting colder day by day, and the cabbage is finally harvested.
Boss Li straightened up from the vegetable patch, looked at the cabbage piled up on the edge of the field, and felt a little dazed in his heart.
Fangjiazhuang also used to grow Chinese cabbage, but there was no cellar, so the food that could not be eaten was piled up in the corner before winter, and it couldn't hold on for half a month.
But under the arrangement of the young master Fang Xing, every family dug a cellar this year, and according to the arrangement of Zhuangzi, put all the Chinese cabbage except for the kimchi to be made into the cellar.
The wife stopped the youngest son from pulling the vegetable leaves on the side, and when she saw that the head of the house was in a trance, she said: "His father, we should go and get the jar, right?" ”
Boss Li nodded and said, "The housekeeper said yesterday that I will go to the main house to pick it up later." ”
"More than that!"
His wife smiled: "I was notified yesterday that each family should have one person, and then make kimchi in the main house, and after the soaking is done, each family will have three jars." ”
Boss Li sighed and said, "Then you go to the main house after lunch, learn how to make kimchi first, and then I will go and get the three jars." ”
In the afternoon, there was a commotion in the main house, and Fang Xing sat on the steps, holding his face, looking at Hua Niang shouting to teach people to make kimchi.
"Wash your hands, and wash the jar, or it will rot!"
"Attention, the dish must be put solid, and the mouth of the altar must be filled with water to keep that thing sealed."
