Chapter Ninety-Seven: Muskets
A faint glimmer of light appeared in the sky outside the window, and Yang Shen yawned and slowly woke up from his sleep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Gently got out of Ye Lingbo's soft and delicate body, got out of bed lightly, and was about to get dressed, only to hear a voice from the bed: "Husband, it's been early these days, since you got the 'Heavenly Evil Sutra', Husband, your whole person is a little more angry!" β
Yang Shen's face fell: "Look at what Ling Bo said, couldn't it be that before you got the 'Heavenly Evil Sutra', you can't be a little old man?" β
Ye Lingbo sat up from the head of the bed gently, and the beautiful spring light on his chest made Yang Shen's throat "grunt", and green light appeared in his eyes.
Ye Lingbo glared at him slightly, and said softly: "In the past, although the husband was cheerful and confident, and he also told jokes from time to time to amuse Ling Bo, Ling Bo could feel the panic and anxiety that the husband buried in his heart, and it was not until he obtained the 'Heavenly Evil Sutra' that the husband seemed to have really let go of the burden in his heart, and the whole person became brisk. β
Yang Shen nodded silently.
Indeed, in the foreseeable future, the "Heavenly Evil Sutra" will inevitably greatly increase his ability to save his life in that turbulent era, and will naturally greatly reduce the pressure in his heart.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Ling Bo, you are really a roundworm in your husband's belly, and I can't hide anything from you for my husband." β
Ye Lingbo took a bite and said angrily: "The dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth, what a roundworm, it's ugly!" β
Yang Shen laughed and said, "Lady, dress your husband for your service." β
Saying that, he threw himself on the bed and wanted to lift Ye Lingbo's quilt, although Ye Lingbo and he had been husband and wife for a while, they were not as faceless and skinless as him, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, and in the end, Yang Shen was annoyed and ashamed, but it turned it into a ridiculous scene......
After a long time, Ye Lingbo's face flushed, panting and lying in Yang Shen's arms, even if her internal strength is profound, but when it comes to physical strength, she can't compare with Yang Shen after all, seeing her husband's proud appearance, she grabbed the soft flesh on Yang Shen's waist and turned around fiercely.
"Shh Yang Shen gasped, but after all, he was at the expense first, not only did he not dare to get angry, but he carefully endured the pain and forcibly pulled out a smile and said, "Ling Bo, it's wrong for your husband, tap, tap." β
I don't know what Ye Lingbo thought of in the last two words, she snorted, but finally let go.
Glaring at Yang Shen slightly: "Get up, you are not allowed to come this time!" β
Yang Shen smiled flatteringly: "Obey the order for the husband." β
Ye Lingbo suddenly smiled and said, "You, nonsense, why don't you have any reverence for imperial power?" β
Yang Shen is silent, a modern person, may be afraid of imperial power, but there will never be a so-called respect.
After the two got up, they practiced martial arts outside for a while as usual, and since they began to practice the "Heavenly Evil Sutra", Yang Shen's swordsmanship has improved day after day.
After breakfast, Yang Shen came to the study.
Not long after Yang Shen stayed in the study, Zhao Yiming came in and reported: "The head of the Qiqi family, the old housekeeper asks to see you." β
Yang Shen said: "Please ask him to come in, and besides, the old man will come to me in the future, and I don't have to report it." β
Although the rules of the big family are strict, Yang Shen feels that some things can be omitted to avoid delaying time.
"Yes, my subordinates remember." Zhao Yiming replied respectfully.
Soon, the old housekeeper Yang Dancong came to Yang Shen, first saluted Yang Shen respectfully, and then said, "Master of the family, the weapon craftsman you asked the old slave to look for has been found, and he is waiting in the side room. β
"Well, you've worked hard for your old man, take me to meet them." Yang Shen nodded slightly.
He took out a drawing from the mezzanine of a document in the upper left corner of his desk and walked out of the study with the old butler.
Under the leadership of the old housekeeper, Yang Shen came to the side room in the front yard of the Yang Mansion.
There, Yang Shen met nine old men in shabby clothes.
The old butler shouted to them: "Why are you standing stupidly, and you don't salute Grandpa Guo!" β
Hearing that the young man in front of him was Lord Guogong, the nine people showed panic on their faces, and knelt down in unison and said, "The villain greets Grandpa Guo!" β
In their eyes, Yang Dan, the old housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion, has been a first-class and noble figure in this world since then, and as for the grandfather of the country himself, it is almost the same as the gods in the sky!
Frightened and frightened, they couldn't help but fall to their knees.
Seeing this, Yang Shen couldn't help frowning and said: "The man has gold under his knees, kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents, kneel to me and do anything, give me up!" β
Although the sound was not loud, the nine people were still frightened, and they hurriedly got up from the ground one by one.
Yang Shen said lightly: "My father came to you because he wanted you to do something. β
An old man standing in the middle of the craftsmen said, "Grandpa Guo, please say that no matter what you want us to do, we will do our best." β
In this era, the status of craftsmen was extremely low, and it was impossible for them to have the courage to refuse Yang Shen.
Yang Shen nodded, and handed the drawing in his hand to the man: "I want you to make this painting, I call it a musket..."
Since there was such a thing as standard gunpowder in this era, Yang Shen not only wanted to use it as explosives, but also wanted to study the musket, a great weapon of destruction in later generations.
Although Yang Shen was only a high school student in his previous life, he could be said to have mastered nine out of ten firearmsβhe didn't know anything about them, but the general pattern of firearms, including its basic principles, Yang Shen, as a man, naturally understood.
Although he could not instruct these craftsmen on how to do it at the moment, he never doubted the creativity of the Chinese people, even if these people only had rough drawings in their hands, Yang Shen believed that the process of making muskets would inevitably be difficult for them.
You must know that these people have all served as master craftsmen in the weapon workshop under the name of the Ministry of War, and they are the most skilled weapon craftsmen in this era, Yang Shen feels that as long as the future generations exist, it is impossible to defeat them with the production level of this era.
The old man took the drawings from Yang Shen's hand, and looked at them carefully while listening to Yang Shen's superficial introduction to the musket.
After about a cup of tea, he raised his head and said to Yang Shen: "Grandpa Guo, the old men can try it, but it may take a long time, after all, this thing has never been seen before." β
Yang Shen nodded and said, "It's okay, time is not a problem, you can just let it go, as long as you succeed in making it, the country promises that each person will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold." β
Fifty taels of gold is equivalent to 500,000 yuan in later generations, and the nine old men were so happy that the folds on their faces trembled, and they saluted Yang Shen one after another: "Thank you Grandpa Guo for your generosity!"
Yang Shen waved his hand and said: "It's too early to be happy, you can only do it, you can't do it..."
