When the little guy saw Ye Zhao, he immediately smiled and squinted his eyes, and called out crisply: "Cousin, aunt!" ”

Ye Zhao came, and it was impossible for Su Yun to continue to lie on the bed, so he slowly sat up with the little guy in his arms.

Ye Zhao didn't care much about this, he sat on the couch casually, glanced at her and said, "What should I do, do we still care about these false courtesies?" If your wounds worsen, Jun Wei will even be annoyed with me, and I will have no place to redress my grievances. ”

Su Yun then thought of a man who was obviously angry, Gu Junwei hadn't been angry with her so seriously, because she really didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Thinking hard to no avail, Su Yun could only temporarily put it to the back of his mind, wrinkled his face, and said, "How can it deteriorate so easily, when I am a porcelain doll." ”

It has been more than two months since she went to Beijing, and Su Yun is still very happy to see Ye Zhao sitting in front of her safely and soundly.

For Ye Zhao, she always has a different kind of closeness and dependence.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but bend their eyes.

Ye Zhao no longer cared about anything, got up and walked to Su Yun's side, stretched out a finger and tentatively touched her wound, and said, "Why are you so unlucky to be hit by an arrow?" I heard that it was a trick when Yeluqi was chasing you? ”

Thinking of that man, a haze appeared in Su Yun's eyes, "If you don't mention him, we can still be good friends." ”

No matter what it was, his behavior had already caused her a lot of trouble, and it was because of him that Wang Xiang, Guan Wutian and others had been staring at her and causing so many things.

So when he mentioned him now, Su Yun was only impatient in his heart.

Ye Zhao saw her like this, and mourned for Yeluqi in her heart, although she also looked down on his behavior, but chasing a girl to be like this bear is also pitiful.

She paused and said, "Don't talk about him, in two days, Li Xian is going to hold a night banquet to invite the three major families in Zizhou, I'm very busy, it's rare to take time to come and see you, let's say something meaningful." ”

"Three families?"

Su Yun looked at Ye Zhao, she had just woken up, and she didn't know anything.

Ye Zhao briefly told her about the prevalence of iron mining in Zizhou, and the situation that Wen, Fan, and Xie have always controlled the lifeline of Zizhou iron mining.

Su Yun was surprised to hear it, things in this world can't really be so coincidental.

She said, "Ah Zhao, do you know who I met in Yongzhou?" She pulled her lips slightly and said, "A genius who develops gunpowder!" ”

Ye Zhao was stunned, and after reacting, he opened his mouth slightly in surprise, Su Yun glanced at her, and said: "You also know that this era is still completely the era of cold weapons, and no one has ever thought that this gunpowder refined by accident can be used as a lethal weapon, but the kid of the Chu family thought of it." ”

Ye Zhao was surprised and felt unreal, she naturally knew what this meant, and said in a slightly tense voice: "Yun, this is not a joke. Explosives weapons are a very complex project after all, and you and I can't even talk about this on paper, at most we can give some conceptual ideas, are you sure that person can make a gunpowder weapon that can be used on a large scale in the real sense? ”

"He has already made it," Su Yun looked at Ye Zhao and said, "He made a fireball, which is already a primary firearm that can be used directly on the battlefield, with a slight improvement......"

Su Yun chuckled, "There are many ways to play, don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients." ”

In fact, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, hot weapons began to be used on the battlefield, and by the Song Dynasty, various hot weapons were multiplied.

Fireballs alone include thunderbolt fireballs, smoke balls, poison smoke balls, and so on.

Each type of fireball has different characteristics depending on the purpose for which it is used, but it is not just as simple as the explosive lethality that ordinary people think, poisoning, burning, and confusing the enemy......

I'm not afraid that I can't do it, I'm afraid I can't think of it!

Ye Zhao gasped slightly and asked, "Does Jun Wei know about this?" ”

Su Yun nodded, but chuckled, "But Ah Zhao, no matter how smart Jun Wei is, firearms are a completely new thing to him."

He would not deny that firearms have a certain lethality, but the strangeness and uncertainty that comes with new things make it impossible for him to fully trust such things, and after all, he must first let him see the power of such things. ”

Ye Zhao nodded, if she ran to tell Li Xian now that this firearm could change an era, he probably wouldn't believe it very much.

You may also feel that she is unrealistic, not whimsical, and unrealistic.

After all, they are carrying a heavy burden, and they are not the geeks in later generations who can pursue something to the extreme just for their own **.

"So, I proposed to Jun Wei that we could build an arsenal dedicated to the development and production of firearms," Su Yun smiled slightly, his eyes shining with excitement, "You just talked about iron mining, and I thought of it - iron and gunpowder!" Ah Zhao, didn't you think of anything like this combination? ”

Ye Zhao's eyes widened slightly, "What you want to say is ......"

How dare she think about it!

Su Yun nodded, and slowly said a word, "Metal tubular firearms." Ah Zhao, if this era is equivalent to the early years of the Tang Dynasty in our world, once the metal tubular firearms can be successfully developed, this historical process can be pushed back at least 500 years! ”

In fact, the earliest metal tubular muskets in Chinese history appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and there were muskets before that, but it was bamboo that was used as the barrel, which appeared in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty.

That's right, it's bamboo!

When Su Yun was an undergraduate, he took an elective course on the history of the development of Chinese weapons, and when he saw the bamboo assault gun, he was very surprised.

In any case, the powerful gunpowder that burns and explodes does not match the fragile and flammable bamboo! Therefore, the bamboo tubular firearms have not been widely disseminated and used, and the power is not great.

The worst thing is that this kind of assault rifle made of bamboo, because the bamboo can't stand the burning of gunpowder, it is easy to explode directly after firing a few times, and the enemy does not kill a few in minutes, and his own people will die first.

But a metal tubular firearm is different, it is a truly lethal weapon!

Ye Zhao was also a little excited when she heard this, and she also understood Su Yun's thoughts, "You guessed right, the iron mining of the three major families can be described as a one-stop service, in addition to mining, they also double smelting and casting, and there are countless skilled craftsmen under them.

Although they are all hidden, they may not be rich enough to rival the country! After all, the demand for iron tools, if you think about it, you can know that in farming, life, and war, where do you not need iron tools?

But Yun, such a project is very important, and it is not something that can be participated in by just one person. ”

Su Yun immediately heard the hidden meaning of her words, "There is a problem with those three families?" ”

Ye Zhao pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, "I don't know if all three have problems, but at least one of them must not be used." She looked at Su Yun, who looked puzzled, and said in a deep voice: "There is a family, it should be the force cultivated by Wang Xiang." ”

Su Yun's face was also solemn, "Which one?" ”

Ye Zhao blinked, suddenly spread his hands, and said very innocently: "I know that I don't need to play dumb riddles with you here for a long time, have you ever seen a bad guy directly paste the words I am a bad guy on his forehead?" ”

Su Yun: "......"

So you still have this attitude? It's also a debt!

Ye Zhao then said: "Li Xian and Jun Wei are also worried about this matter, Li Xian held this night banquet for the purpose of finding out which family is involved with Wang Xiang. ”

The so-called Hongmen Banquet.

Su Yun understood.

She thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the situation of the three families?" ”

She was injured and couldn't help them much, but she could still help with the analysis.
