I am an emperor in the harem (17)
Of course, the most important of them is the extremely lethal weapons such as gunpowder, firearms, and cannons that Yuanxi began to research a few years ago.
Gunpowder has been studied two years ago, although the production is not high, but it is enough to promote the future development of Qingguo.
What I want to check out today at the Ministry of Industry is the fire gun that has been developed in recent years but has failed repeatedly.
"Back to the emperor, Queen Mother, this is the newly developed firecracker." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu brought forward the somewhat bulky firecracker.
"What the firepower is, the range can be increased." Yuan Xi weighed the weight of the firecracker, it was not light, at least one person had to launch and one person to load. However, compared to the size of the bazooka before, Yuanxi said that the fire gun with the thickness of the baby's arm seen now is much finer.
"Queen Mother, please see." As he spoke, the man aimed the firebolt at the haystack in the distance, and with a loud bang, the huge haystack ten meters away was instantly shattered by several scattered bullets from the firebolt.
"Not bad." Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction, the little emperor's eyes were full of surprise, but his face tried to keep it.
"Look down, there's more." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said proudly, and the big stone at five meters shattered in response, and the stone that was hit by the fire gun instantly burst into several pieces and splashed everywhere.
"In addition, we have also made progress on the artillery you ordered, and we also ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor to move." Several people came to a wider field, and a huge cannon was pushed out.
The cannon like a giant thing is intimidating to look at, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please stand far away and cover your ears, the sound of this thing is very loud and deafening when it is launched, and the two golden bodies must be careful." ”
With a resounding launch in the sky, the small dirt mountain a hundred meters away was instantly flattened.
"Good! With this thing, it will definitely help me celebrate the victory of the national flag, and all the soldiers will return triumphantly. Seeing such a powerful artifact, the little emperor said to Chao Yuanxi, who was full of excitement.
"That's right, the mourning family ordered people to develop this thing, not for a meaningless war."
"In recent years, the barbarians in the south have invaded many times, and Beidi is also ready to move, waiting for an opportunity to move. With this thing, they can be completely intimidated on the battlefield, and there will be a lot less useless wars. Yuan Xi touched the little emperor's head and explained to him.
"Not only that, but we must slowly reform the bad places in the country, only in this way can a country go further and further."
One morning, the court was full of people, and there were heated discussions everywhere.
"Queen Mother, this must not be!" Several ministers came out of the ranks, knelt on top of the court, and cried out with tears in their eyes.
"If the imperial examination system you mentioned is implemented, it will definitely shake the foundation of the country, please think twice!"
"Please also ask the Queen Mother to think twice, please ask the Emperor to think twice." The ministers belonging to the family knelt together, and it can be said that eight or nine times out of ten above the court knelt down.
"The mourning family and the emperor have already decided, no need to discuss it, let's retire." Yuanxi had already expected their reaction, and directly left a will to return to the palace with the emperor.
"The queen mother, it is clear that the implementation of the imperial examination is beneficial to the people of the world, but they want to stop it? Do you say that it will shake the foundation of the country? Yi Chenxiu said puzzled.
"Because once the imperial examination is implemented, a large number of children from poor families will enter the court as officials, which will naturally hurt their existing interests, so they will try their best to stop it."
