Seeing Ma Ling come in, Gao Qianqian's little face turned red suddenly, and said, "Qiu'er will accompany you tonight!" The slender foot swept past Ma Lu, and disappeared in an instant.

The Turkic girl is Ge Qiu'er, who has always been in charge of the Ma family's ranch in the valley at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, this girl is also Ma Lan's favorite, a few years have passed, this girl has not changed much, she is still a young and delicate girl, and her height has not changed, as if time has frozen in her. This time, knowing that Ma Ling was coming back, Gao Qianqian specially called her back from the Tianshan Ranch.

Ge Qiu'er was also extremely happy to see Ma Lan, and as soon as Ma Lan closed the door, the little girl threw herself into Ma Lan's arms. Such a woman can't be abandoned, Ma Lan just untied the little girl's clothes halfway, and the little girl blushed and whispered: "Just now Miss Gao asked me about me and you in bed!" ”

This girl turned out to be here to receive premarital education. Ma Xuan continued to untie Ge Qiu'er's shirt and said with a low smile: "Then what did you say?" ”

Ge Qiu'er said: "She is the eldest lady of the Ma family, so I naturally have to tell the truth." I told her that the first time I felt like I was going to be torn apart by you, and then Miss Gao's face turned white......"

"And then......" As he spoke, Ma Ling had already removed all the restraints from the girl's body, and his big hand covered the girl's chest.

Then she kept asking, and I didn't know how to answer, and she wouldn't let me not answer...... When the owner came in, Miss Gao also said that she was going to the women's shop to ask others......"

Ma Xuan was speechless, and her heart was high Qianqian's temperament, and she really did such things. Maybe this time. I'm going to go to the women's shop in Kakuzi City to ask for experience. But the women of those places. And what can be taught?

The Turkic girl in front of him who is still childish has enough attraction to him, and there are some things that cannot be parted, and he is not ready to forcibly give them up. Ge Qiu'er has been his woman for a long time, but this kind of thing is still extremely shy, and after being stripped of her clothes, she is a little at a loss, and her delicate legs are tightly twisted together, looking extremely nervous. Ma Lan's gaze gradually became fierce, and he covered it without hesitation.

Ma Lan was still in the Grange and was entangled with the Turkic girl. Gao Qianqian has already arrived in Qiuzi City. Now that the ground is quiet, she has the ability to do it, and walking at night is not a big deal. But after all, she is a few years older and a person with status, so she naturally did not swagger into the women's store, but walked in after changing her appearance.

However, Miss Gao is still Miss Gao after all, even if it is a change of appearance, it is still unusual for a woman to walk into the women's store alone. But for the sake of Qian Bao's face, the most beautiful orchid in the women's store finally came out to accompany her.

Just look awkward as an orchid. When she was about to bear this strange woman's fake phoenix for the sake of money, the other party startled the Kangju woman as soon as she opened her mouth.

Figure out that this isn't a quirky master. And after just a woman who was going to marry, the orchid was relieved. For the sake of Qian Bao's face, the Kangju woman tried her best to tell the man all kinds of tricks he liked. Originally, I wanted this mysterious woman to open her mind, but she slowly became a professor of intrafacial surgery. When Gao Qianqian walked out of the women's store, her face had become extremely strange.

It is already extremely embarrassing to have three people sleep in the same bed, where did I think that there are so many ways to go about the bed. Her mother had gone early, and now she was alone in Anxi, and with her status, naturally no one had taught her this. This time I came to the women's shop, but it completely subverted her imagination.

But she is a capable woman after all, she returned to Majia Grange and tossed and turned for a night, and her face was still red when she saw Ma Lu the next day, but she had already begun to officially prepare for the wedding. As for the doorways...... Although it felt a little strange, she was still ready to try it in her heart.

The news of Ma Lu's upcoming wedding first spread in the Ma family's workshop, and then spread throughout Qiuzi. Ma Lan first became the governor of Moxi, and now he wants to marry his wife, which is a double happiness. Qiuci is the location of the Dadu Protectorate, and it is not surprising that it will also be the location of the Governor's Palace, which is a major event for the entire Han people of Qiuci.

The happiest is naturally the seventh uncle. The old man is now only in charge of the Ma family grange, but he is the most dignified person in the Ma family, and even Gao Qianqian respects this old man very much. The young master is finally going to get married, although it is a little late, but after all, he is alive and waiting for this day, the old man is so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut, and he walks with a gust of wind.

The big wedding was handled by Qibo and Gao Qianqian, and Ma Ling no longer cared about it. For a few days, in addition to accompanying Gao Qianqian, he went to the master Li Xiu to test the performance of several cannons.

The castle where Li Xiu is located is not small, and it can test the power of the cannon, but it can't test the range of the cannon. And the cannon is extremely important to Ma Lan. On a clearing a few miles away from the Grange, a large area within a radius of several miles was enclosed, which also cost a lot of money, which was specially prepared for the experimental cannon.

Several kinds of finished cannons are available here, the heaviest ones reach more than 2,000 catties, and the light ones also have 100 catties. Subject to the technological level of this era, all the smoothbore guns are produced, and the shells can only be solid shells, but Master Li Xiu is a real genius after all, and he actually succeeded in adding a tail to the solid bullets, which to a certain extent solves the congenital problem of insufficient range of smoothbore guns.

"Boom!"

In the midst of the deafening sound of cannonballs, fire erupted from the muzzles, and oval cannonballs with tail fins arced down to the mound miles away. This is a cannon of the smallest caliber, suitable for mounting on a battleship. Several cannons of the same specification fired one after another, and the place where the shells fell was not far apart, which is where Li Xiu's master craftsman excelled, and the weapons that he supervised were completely unified and almost caught up with modern production.

Ma Lan nodded with satisfaction, this kind of small cannon can already be used in the fleet, and the navy of the Anxi Army can enter the era of gunboats in the future, which will increase the advantages of the Anxi Army even more. Of course, in the future, the sailors of the Tang Empire will also have this kind of thing, and the Tang Empire will not only become the master of the land, but also the overlord of the sea.

Picking up a round solid bullet in one hand and an oval solid bullet with a tail in the other hand, Ma Lu asked: "How big is the difference in range between these two shells?" ”

Li Xiu also picked up a solid bullet with a tail fin, and said with a smile: "When shooting at a 4-degree angle, the range of using this kind of shell can already exceed 30% of the new Baniu crossbow, and when shooting at a 6-degree angle, it can exceed 50%. Pointing to the round solid bullet in Ma Lu's hand, "When using this kind of cannonball to shoot at a 6-degree angle, it is impossible to catch up with the new eight-bull crossbow." However, this shell is easy to produce and costs only one-tenth of the cost with a tail. ”

"That's so bad!" Ma Lan was also a little amazed.

Li Xiu nodded and said: "This is something that can't be helped, if there is no such cannonball, the range is not as good as the Eight Bull Crossbow, this kind of cannon will not be able to be used on the warship." Fortunately, this kind of shell was made, otherwise I would not dare to say that I have completed what the general told me. ”

Ma Lan shook the ball in his hand: "How much does this thing cost compared to the Heavenly Thunder Arrow?" ”

Li Xiu said: "I use more iron, but I don't have to use steel, just pig iron, so it's cheaper than the Heavenly Thunder Arrow, and the cost is about thirty percent of the Heavenly Thunder Arrow." ”

"That's good!" Ma Lan smiled and nodded.

If you want to use it on a large scale, the cost still has to be controlled. There is no way to recover weapons in naval battles, so the less you consume, the better. This shell can be used at a slightly closer distance, with a shell with a tail at the farthest distance, and at a medium range with a new eight-ox crossbow, which can be used at close range. In fact, the so-called close range is also more than a mile, and this distance is still far enough for possible enemies.

"In fact, the rifled gun that the general said will not be impossible to achieve in the future, and these can only be used for the time being." Li Xiu said, "General, I mean, we need to establish a school to train craftsmen. ”

"Are you tired of the master?" Ma Ling tossed the solid lead bullet and laughed.

Li Xiu shook his head: "Not really." I don't have any, there are many skilled craftsmen, and it's a pity that some things are not handed down. Pointing to the cannonball with a tail fin that Ma Lan was holding, "In fact, it is the credit of Uncle Fang to be able to make this kind of cannonball, without his elaborate pottery fan, I would not have been able to cast this kind of thing." Uncle Fang is also a talented person, after all, he is old, and no one can compare to him in the ability to make Tao Fan, if this kind of ability is not passed on, the old man will be gone in the future, and we will not be able to create many things immediately. ”

Ma Ling smiled and nodded: "Start a craftsman school...... Actually, I have this plan too. ”

Li Xiu said very reasonably, in fact, the Anxi Army can have so many new weapons, and Uncle Fang is also indispensable. Without the molds he provided, many things would have been impossible to cast, let alone mass-produced. It is also his luck to meet such an old man, but the old man is an old man after all, and some things must be considered in advance.

Not only that, but everything in his mind, as well as Li Xiu's skills, also need to be passed on, and it is naturally imperative to establish a school. In the past, he had been fighting in the north and south, and he didn't have time to do these things, but for him now, this is an extremely crucial thing.

Li Xiu said: "With the craftsman school, we can train more of the people we need, and it is possible for the general to let the Ma family's workshop blossom everywhere west of the Green Mountain." In my opinion, this matter is more important than casting a cannon. ”

Ma Lan nodded in agreement, this matter, the two can also be said to coincide.

The largest cannon was ready to shoot, and the gunner came over to ask Ma Lan if he could open the cannon, Ma Lan smiled and waved his hand, and opened his mouth to cover his ears with Li Xiu. (To be continued......)
