There is a reason why Chen Yada agreed so happily, Chen Yada is a literati, he has no other way to enhance his influence, if he can teach some good students, then the students will be assigned to various places to become officials, and his status will follow!

Although Chen Yada, the first talent in Yiguo, has some water, but there is no vanity under the fame, and Chen Yada's talent is beyond doubt!

Seeing that Chen Yada agreed to join his academy, Li Yao smiled and said, "The academy in Naya County will have to ask you a lot, and I will definitely fully support you if you want money and food!" ”

Chen Yada didn't expect Li Yao to hand over Yaxian College to himself, if this is the case, as long as he manages it well, he will become a famous person in this country sooner or later!

Although Chen Yada turned out to be a great reputation in Yiguo, but there was the pressure of Yangyun, Chen Yada couldn't get up at all, the reason why he took refuge in Li Yao was because of Li Yao's initiative to establish academies in each county, people who can attach so much importance to education will definitely not be inactive, and Li Yao's performance in the past half a year has also been seen, Li Yao's strength is very strong, he has the power to rule a country, he can mix into this circle, and when the time comes, when Yiguo changes hands, he will not be implicated!

Chen Yada said: "Since Prince Li gave me this opportunity, I will definitely make achievements to show you!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Didn't you say that your friends would also come to the academy to teach?" Why don't we have a meal together tonight? ”

Those who can be called friends by Chen Yada must also be well-known scholars, there are so many famous scholars teaching in Yaxian, it is difficult for Yaxian County to think of talents!

Chen Yada nodded and said, "Then I'll send someone to invite those friends of mine now!" ”

Li Yao met Chen Yada's friends at night, and sure enough, all of them were well-educated people, with the addition of these people, the academy in Yaxian County will definitely become the most powerful college in Yiguo!

After recruiting Chen Yada, Li Yao stayed in Yaxian County for a few days, and paid attention to the progress of road construction in Yaxian County, the speed is very fast, and if you continue at this speed, it will be absolutely no problem to complete the task on time!

Since there is nothing important in Yaxian, Li Yao is ready to return to Daxian to discuss some weapons with the craftsman king, and then he is ready to go back to Yi County for the New Year!

Led the guard regiment to Daxian, the craftsman king was supervising the 90,000 captives to build the city wall, Li Yao found the craftsman king, and asked: "Grandpa craftsman, how long will it take for this county seat to be built?" When will the sulphur plant be put into production? ”

The king said confidently: "Before the spring of next year, I can guarantee that the sulfur plant will be put into use normally!" ”

Li Yao said reassuringly: "Since grandpa is so confident, should we consider where the gunpowder factory was built?" ”

The craftsman thought for a moment and said, "My suggestion is to place the gunpowder factory next to the sulfur factory, otherwise it wouldn't be overkill for us to build a city alone to place a sulfur factory!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "It turns out that grandpa has been preparing to build a city here!" ”

The craftsman king smiled: "What can you prepare for!" Just do whatever you want! ”

Li Yao took out a drawing at this time and said, "Grandpa Craftsman, look at this drawing!" ”

The craftsman took over the drawings and browsed them very carefully, every time Li Yao gave himself the drawings about firearms, so the craftsman would be very careful every time!

Li Yao said: "Grandpa Craftsman Wang, don't you understand, let me explain it to you!" ”

The craftsman nodded and said: "This thing is obviously more advanced than the original firearm, I want to ask, is this weapon similar to the effect of a bow and crossbow, and one person can use it!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Grandpa is really powerful, you can guess the effect of this kind of thing just by looking at the drawings!" ”

This weapon is researched to make up for the lack of our archers, and the bow and crossbow shooter will not have a great effect in a few years, but this weapon can be quickly used even by a recruit, and this weapon is not small, and it is definitely an indispensable weapon in future battles!

Hearing Li Yao's explanation so much, the craftsman king asked, "Then what is the name of this weapon?" ”

Li Yao said lightly: "This is called a pistol!" ”

The principle of this weapon is to use flint to strike on the iron, create sparks, ignite the gunpowder, and then shoot the projectile outside the gunpowder!

The biggest difficulty in making this weapon is the spring, I don't know if our steel technology can meet the conditions of the spring, so I will first find you to understand, if the spring is okay, then you can take this drawing!

The craftsman king hurriedly said: "We can definitely make this thing, and the spring on the bow and crossbow is not difficult to make at all?" And our steelmaking technology is already very strong, you look at our war knives, they are the best among all countries! What kind of spring do you say about the pistol! ”

Li Yao said: "The spring on the bow and crossbow is a leaf spring, you look at the spring I drew on the drawing, you make one and I'll see if it can be used!" ”

Li Yao pointed out the spring on the drawing to the craftsman king, who glanced at it and said, "Then I'll try, give me a day, and at this time tomorrow, you come over to see the results!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Then please grandpa!" ”

King Craftsman smiled: "I also hope that this weapon can be made, a weapon that can replace a bow and arrow, it feels incredible when you think about it!" ”

The king of craftsmen used to make the springs on the bow and crossbow, and he knew that the first condition for the springs was to be able to restore them, in fact, the springs drawn by Li Yao were not very difficult, and the king of craftsmen was very confident in making this spring!

Li Yao also felt that he was a little ****** at first, like this kind of firearm, he should make an arquebus first, and when the conditions for the arquebus are ripe, he is making a pistol, but the craftsman has a lifetime of experience in making weapons, and it is not impossible to make a pistol, so Li Yao wants to give it a try, and save some time if he can save some time!

The next day, Li Yao went to find the craftsman king, and the craftsman king took out a spring and said, "Are you talking about this kind of spring?" ”

Li Yao took it and tested it, and sure enough, it met the standard, and said with great joy: "Grandpa Craftsman, this kind of spring is very in line with the standard, it seems that we can make a pistol!" ”

The craftsman king smiled: "Actually, there is absolutely no problem for our steelmaking technology to make such a spring, as long as there are no other obstacles, there is no problem in making this weapon!" ”

Li Yao said slowly: "There is still a difficulty, but it is not very difficult, that is, to make a seamless steel pipe, as long as there is a mold, there is no obstacle to make it, but to make a seamless steel pipe must be built in a large site, you want to do a way to do it in this site!" ”

The craftsman king nodded and said, "Those juniors of the Firearms Bureau have learned a lot now, and they can leave the matter of seamless steel pipes to them!" ”

Li Yao thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, then you can arrange this matter, there is no hurry to start the gun, and it is okay to delay it for a while!" ”

The craftsman king smiled: "I know this, now we still have to get gunpowder first, without gunpowder, firearms can't be used!" ”
