Chapter 65: Sows Can Go Up Trees
"So, how are you going to sell this thing? How do I claim my prize? Yang Reform is actually quite clear about this kind of scratch award, back then, he didn't pester his parents to buy this kind of thing, of course, most of them were "do it again".
"Your Majesty, the grass people this kind of lottery is quite simple, uniformly printed, with a number, on the back of the mark, with a thick paper to cover the mark, and then the periphery with paste paste, this lottery is almost finished, of course, you have to print some patterns in the front, patterns or something......"
Yang Gai listened to Li Laifu talk about his invention, and he had to admire that this ancient man was indeed very smart. Scratch cards are almost reproduced. Although the technical level is not as good as that of later generations, the basic methods are no longer different.
“…… How much does this thing cost? ”
"Your Majesty, the grass people can make five ...... with a penny"
"Two cents?"
"Your Majesty, yes, it only takes two centimeters to make it, and if it is printed in large quantities, it can be a little less......," Li Laifu replied with certainty.
"Well, yes, Laifu, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into researching this thing!" Yang Reform is very satisfied with this Li Laifu now. What I lack is this kind of person who is willing to be motivated and willing to study.
"Your Majesty Caomin Xie praised ......" Li Laifu was happy with tears, it was not easy for him, in order to study this thing, his hair was gray. It can be said that it is painstaking and suffering. In order not to show his face in front of His Majesty and prove that he can succeed. Let the emperor know his worth. I have to live a worthwhile life.
……
"In this way, Laifu, after you go back, make this kind of lottery ticket more beautiful, and make the patterns on it richer, you can print some flowers and plants, fish and insects, or something, and you can also print some mythological characters or something, and divide the mark into many kinds, and different marks for different prizes......"
"The grass people have written down ......"
"This lottery thing, since you have the heart, then you are responsible, first write this booklet, think about how to make this lottery ticket, how to sell, how to redeem the prize, how to prevent others from cheating, etc., and so on, and when I see it, you can sell it, understand?"
"The grass people understand, thank Your Majesty for rewarding ......" Li Laifu has finally got an errand now. is still the one sealed by the emperor himself, this is said, there is hope. Kneel on the ground and kowtow to thank you.
……
"Let's go, big companion, go to Master Sun." Yang Reform has been delayed for a long time on Li Laifu. Although the lottery is also important, it is nothing compared to the barrel of a gun.
……
Training ground of the Forces nouvelles.
All the people have seen the ceremony.
Yang Gengai asked Sun Chengzong: "Master Sun, how have you been training these days?" ”
Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, the training is okay, and some have already begun to train for muskets." ”
"Let's go, let's see."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he took the emperor to see the training.
……
Rows of trainees, holding guns one by one, as aimed, motionless, many guns with muzzles, and a brick hanging from them, their foreheads covered with sweat, in this cold spring wind, are a lot of hard work. Many people's muzzles were up and down, and when the "coach" saw it, he immediately reprimanded him, whipped his body, and then the gun could remain unshaken for a while.
"Hehe, Master Sun, these students are training very hard!" Yang Reform said with emotion.
"Your Majesty, yes, it's not hard now, when you get to the battlefield, shoot indiscriminately, isn't it a big thing to ruin and lose your surname?" Sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime', Your Majesty's words, the old minister can always keep in mind. ”
"Hehe......" was praised by Sun Chengzong, and Yang Reform could only deal with it with a smile.
"By the way, Master Sun, how are these students eating?" Yang Gengai has read a lot of time-traveling novels, in which the army is trained, and all of them are well fed, with enough fat and meat, and you will vomit when you eat.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this, the food is not very good, and it is not very bad. I eat meat every day, but I also have some grains or something. ”
"Why is that?"
"Your Majesty, having meat to eat every day is to ensure that all the students have the strength to eat some miscellaneous grains, so that they can better adapt to the war on the battlefield in the future.
"Master Sun has a point."
……
"The minister has something to offer to His Majesty." Sun Chengzong suddenly said this.
"Oh? What other good things does Master Sun have for me? Show me. "Yang Gengai really wants to know what Sun Chengzong gave him, and the things that are worthy of Sun Chengzong's recommendation are definitely not those messy things. Now, I don't have the energy to get those powerful pills, Indian god oil.
A junior colonel came over with a plate covered with yellow satin, and Wang Chengen walked over and uncovered the yellow cloth.
A short hammer was revealed.
Yang Gai was surprised and said, "Master Sun, this is, handcuffs?" Or is it flint? "Yang Gengai is quite familiar with this kind of thing. I've seen it there, but I can't remember exactly where I saw it.
"Your Majesty, this thing is the short gun of flint, which can also be called a handcuff, and it is named because it is made of flint to make fire. It's much better than the arquebus I used in the morning, and I don't have to be afraid of rainy days...... If I am ...... a large number of equipment" said this, Yang Genghe could hear that Sun Chengzong's voice was actually a little excited, which shows how big the impact of this gun is.
Yang Reform remembered that he used to read Jin Yong Jin Daxia's book, and Wei Xiaobao in it seemed to have such a flintlock pistol, which impressed Yang Reform deeply. Wei Xiaobao is just in the early years of Kangxi, and there is not much time between him and now. As for whether Jin Daxia is nonsense, Yang Reform is not clear.
Yang Gai picked up the handcuff and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was a flintlock pistol, and there was no need to light the fire rope. Flint was installed. Yang Gai was very excited and happy. This thing is an epoch-making thing! Ahaha! Artifact, Yang Gai felt that God was helping him.
"Master Sun, is this thing from the West? I am ready to imitate and equip our dynasty, make it the main battle equipment of our dynasty, and replace the original arquebus, which can be called a divine object, an epoch-making thing......" Yang Reform was very excited, and he couldn't wait to have thousands of this flintlock pistol immediately, so that the wild boar skin dared to come and beat himself, and he would give him a good look, so that he would lose without even pants.
"Back to Your Majesty, this thing is not from the West, this item is made by my Ming Jinshi......" Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor thought this thing was from the West, and hurriedly clarified.
“…… I'm a Jinshi? Master Sun, I heard you right, right? "Yang Gai suspects that something is wrong with his ears, the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty? Made this handcuff? Yang Gai suddenly felt that this sow could also go up the tree.
"Your Majesty, this thing is made by my Chaojinshi, this person's name is Bi Maokang, it is the twenty-sixth year of Wanli Jinshi, and now it is said that the old minister is preparing to recommend it to His Majesty......" Sun Chengzong's old face seemed to be smiling.
Seeing Sun Chengzong's smiling face, Yang Gai knew that this was a good thing, because Sun Chengzong had never been smiling, it was not something to be happy about, and it was impossible to see him smile.
"Is that really the case? The flintlock handcuffs I made for Jinshi? "Yang Reform is confused, doesn't it mean that the literati of the dynasty look down on those who do these things? Why is there still a Jinshi doing this? This fact is so unusual. Can sows go up trees? This is a strange thing. But think about it again, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Sun Yuanhua later presided over the manufacture of guns and cannons, and it seems that they are not as pedantic as many books say.
Yang Gai was very happy, and felt that today was his luck, even if he was slaughtered by those ministers, but in general, compared with this flintlock pistol, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were not worth mentioning.
"Hurry up and introduce me." Yang was in a hurry to reform. This is a great good thing, how did it come to his head, Yang Reform still doesn't believe that he can still create this thing under his own officials, artifact, artifact!
Wild boar skin, your end has arrived, Yang Gai shouted in his heart!
