After receiving Wang Zhengqi's news, Wang Zhengyun, the head of the Wang family, still didn't believe it was true. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Don't say it's Wang Tiqian, even Zhang Quan is not so easy to contact, although the eunuch loves money, but not everyone's money is collected. The tens of thousands of taels of the Wang family smashed into it before and after it was just a relationship with a six-grade eunuch in the palace, and this relationship was not so strong, after all, it was all about monetary interests, and it was easy to say when it was not big, if there was something really going on, it was not necessarily expected.

However, Wang Zhengyun, the brother of his own, also understands that he is not like a person who talks about the river, so why not send someone to the capital to see the situation? After thinking about it, Wang Zhengyun decided to send his younger brother Wang Zhengtian to the capital.

Wang Zhengtian is a talent cultivated by the Wang family who are ready to enter the officialdom, and it is well known that there are three ways to become an official in the Ming Dynasty. The first is to practice literature, the second is to practice martial arts, and the third is to honor the descendants. These three royal families do not occupy them, they have been in business for generations, and of course there is no problem in doing business, but it is too difficult to become officials.

The Wang family is not in a hurry, the goal they set is very simple, the first generation will produce a talent or a person, and the second generation will be a person or a jinshi, and the style of writing will be infiltrated into the family step by step. Naturally, there will be more and more children working hard in the imperial examination, and it will not be much trouble for the Wang family to become an official eunuch family.

This plan has to be said to be very realistic, the Wang family can be regarded as a large family, and the accumulation of money over the years is enough to support the children of the family to embark on the imperial examination. However, there was a problem in the actual implementation, and many children of the Wang family were unwilling to study hard since they were young. More than 20 years have passed, and there are not many talents, but now there are two juniors in the family, one is twenty-three years old, and the other is seventeen, and they are the key training objects of the Wang family.

This Wang Zhengtian is not a nerd and is willing to study, but his talent is limited, and he is only a talent in his forties. Disheartened, in addition to teaching in the family, he is helping to run relationships, and he is very familiar with the capital.

"Zhengtian's news should be right, I also heard about this Wang Tao, he seems to have fallen from the sky, not a Ming person. Because he is good at kit kat and lewdness, he is quite respected by the emperor. "Wang Zhengtian has been running in the capital for so many years, and he is not just throwing silver. opened a small restaurant in the capital, although the business can only be regarded as average, but the news is really well-informed.

"The fourth brother should pay attention to what he says in the future, and don't say anything like KitKat again." Wang Zhengyun saw that his brother did not approve of some things about Wang Tao, so he reminded at the moment.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'm not a sour Confucian who doesn't understand the world, I know what to say and what not to say." Although Wang Zhengtian is just a showman and is more flexible, he also has some despise the so-called kitsch and lewd skills in his bones, but he knows how to be sophisticated.

"This time I went to Beijing, firstly, to win the business of clocks and carriages, and secondly, to have a good relationship with Wang Gonggong and Zhang Gonggong, of course, Master Wang is also very important. If we can get their support, our Wang family will have a much easier road in the future. Wang Zhengyun knew that his brother was a smart man, but some words still had to be explained clearly.

"Don't worry, big brother, I will have a good relationship with Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Zhang." Wang Zhengtian automatically ignored the first point that Wang Zhengyun said.

Wang Zhengtian knew that it was not difficult to win the business of clocks and carriages, after all, Wang Zhengqi had already said in the letter that there was no problem with business, and the main purpose of the eldest brother sending him to Beijing was probably to establish a good relationship. Although the Wang family is not the richest man in a giant businessman, they are not short of money, and what they lack most now is connections.

With Wang Zhengyun's expectations, Wang Zhengtian embarked on the road to Beijing with a small caravan.

After learning that the patriarch had sent someone, Wang Zhengqi had a bottom in his heart, and while actively having a good relationship with the shopkeeper Liu, he also sent someone to inquire about Wang Tao in the capital. He also went to Wanbao Pavilion to get acquainted with the product, and he also wanted to see one of Wang Tao's three again. It's a pity that his abacus is good, but Wang Tao and the others can't stay in Wanbao Pavilion all the time. In fact, Wang Tao went to Wanbao Pavilion since the opening of Wanbao Pavilion, that is, on the opening day, and stayed in the workshop or mansion for the rest of the time.

After successfully becoming an intermediate magic apprentice, Wang Tao began the follow-up development of the tunnel rifle, rifling the gun. In the past, the guns were unrifled, and the distance of the bullets fired in this way was far away, and the lethality was extremely limited. What really improved the power of guns, in addition to the innovation of bullets, was the use of rifling. The purpose of rifling is to allow the shot to rotate, so that the bullet can maintain its original orientation after being discharged, making it possible to design accurately. This also makes it possible to arrange the straggler line, without rifling, it is not easy for even a highly skilled shooter to accurately shoot at the target, and it is also difficult to train a shooter who can design accurately. This is also the reason why the previous battles were fought in dense formations, with dense firepower coverage to make up for the lack of accuracy.

After using the wind blade to process steel, it became much easier for Wang Tao to make breech tunnel guns. This is also part of the reason why he doesn't go to Wanbao Pavilion these days, although he is familiar with the structure of guns, but it is not easy to do. After several days of hard work, he finally made three barrels. The most important part of the barrel is made, and the rest is much simpler.

With the help of Master Hu and Master Liu, Wang Tao made three guns in a few days.

After explaining the principle of production to the two masters, they said that they could try to carve rifling in other ways. Since there are people who are willing to continue researching, of course Wang Tao can't find a job. He is not a great god like Zhuge Liang, and the otaku personality who can not do it himself has always affected him.

I took a few guns to do the test, and the results were as Wang Tao expected, both the shooting distance and the accuracy have been greatly improved. Since there is nothing wrong with the gun experiment, the next step is to mass production, and Wang Tao is not ready to participate.

In addition to the fact that the craftsmen of ancient times did not have the skills and knowledge of modern engineers, they were not much different in all other aspects, and these people should not be underestimated. After completing the gun training, the shopkeeper Liu of Wanbao Pavilion sent someone to invite Wang Tao to Wanbao Pavilion. The person in the Wang family who really has the weight to speak came to the background and wanted to see Wang Tao.

Since the other party wants to meet, then see.

At noon, in the backyard of Wanbao Pavilion, Wang Tao met two brothers, Wang Zhengtian and Wang Zhengqi.
