Chapter 630: Fire Hammer
Li You thinks that if you just teach Confucianism, maybe as long as the master doesn't need many buildings, but if you want to make the university hall the driving force for the development of the country, it is far from enough to have a master, and how can you make those achievements that can change the world without many facilities?
Fortunately, Wang Ji and these two students are not pedantic people who read dead books, this trip made them feel a lot, Lu Rui and Chen Hao even came up with the idea of changing to other disciplines, "If it weren't for Brother Tai's correction today, I'm afraid that the two of us would still be sitting in the well and watching the sky as before. The two of us plan to listen to the lectures of teachers in other subjects from tomorrow, hoping to gain something. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Oh? However, I heard that the imperial court has recently opened a new Enke to select officials, if you change to other subjects now, won't you miss this Enke? Li You asked with interest.
"Huh? Where did you hear about it? "The imperial examination is a very important event for every scholar, and the two of them immediately hesitated when they heard the news, they were conceited that they were very hopeful of getting into the bachelor's examination with their own knowledge, and if they missed this time, they would have to wait a few more years.
"Now that I think about it, even if I win the next exam, I'm afraid I won't be able to do much practical things for the people." Today's visit has a great impact on Lu Rui and Chen Hao, "So even if you miss this Enke, you don't have to feel sorry, and it is not too late to take the exam when you learn more knowledge in the future and have the ability to do more for the people of the world." ”
"It's really not easy for the two of you to know how to make trade-offs at such an age, and you must be able to make a good career when you study for a few years and take the exam again." Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but say words of encouragement.
"In this way, thank you for the master's auspicious words, and the two of us will remember them in our hearts." After speaking, Lu Rui and Chen Hao hurriedly went back to discuss whether to start studying from that course, and Li You also took Wang Ji and Yao Guangxiao to find the sacrificial wine in the University Hall, and made some advice on the situation in the University Hall, and did not leave until it was getting late at night.
From this day on, Li You's days returned to his former busyness, after visiting the university hall, he went to martial arts on the second day, and encouraged the new batch of students, carefully watched the training and teaching of martial arts, and asked people to help pay attention to the dismissal of students in this period, and planned to try to see how many people could be qualified to pass the recognition of the "Guiguzi Book" when they graduated.
After martial arts, there is also Gu Jiangzi's workshop, Gu Jiangzi's time in the court on weekdays is far less than his in the workshop, even when Li Jue was born, he only sent a disciple to give gifts, and he stayed in the workshop to keep an eye on the progress of the new weapon.
"Mr. Gu, the construction of the fire gun is important, but you also have to take care of your health, if you are sick, I am afraid that this workshop will be completely chaotic." Seeing General Gu, who had lost a lot of weight, Li You couldn't help but persuade that the Jiazhou Army's current weapon research and development can all rely on this old man, if there is a case, it will be a big loss.
"The lord has a good reputation, even if the little old man is gone, there are still moments far better than mine, and my apprentices can slowly become teachers, so why worry about no one available? Now that the construction of the fire gun has reached the most critical juncture, the little old man is really reluctant to leave. "Gu Jiangzi still looks like an old craftsman, without the slightest grandeur of a court official; The most regrettable thing for him now is that Juzi is still stubborn and unwilling to make a weapon of killing, so he refused his invitation to participate in the research and development of the firecracker, and instead presided over the transformation of waterwheels, cocoons and other equipment, otherwise the firecracker would have been completed long ago.
In addition to slowing down the progress of the research and development of the firearm, what worries Gu Jiangzi more is the stubbornness of the old rules, such as today's big change is a good opportunity for the Mo family to come to the forefront, and what is even more rare is that Lord Taiwei is quite fond of the craftsmanship of the Mo family, and now he can use this old face to protect these Mo family children, if he goes by himself in the future, it is not good if he still repeatedly disobeys Lord Taiwei like this.
Maybe it's time for a radical change in the Mo family? Gu Jiangzi had such a thought in his heart, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Mo family, but he couldn't miss it because of the moment.
"When I was in Qiantang, I saw the test firing of the treasure ship artillery, and it was indeed extremely powerful." Previously, I watched the land test firing in Jiazhou, and this is the first time Li You has seen the cannon on the water, from the perspective of the level of shooting, although it is not as good as Zheng He's subordinates, but it is easy to deal with the enemy in this world.
"Thank you, Captain, for your compliment." Gu Jiangzi led Li You to a heavily guarded place, took out a few firecrackers with different shapes and gave them to Li You, "This is a sample of firecrackers made by Xiao Lao'er after Lord Taiwei went north to crusade against the Beiyu, and the last few can also be built in these days, and I also ask Lord Taiwei to test and give advice first." ”
Most of these muskets carry a single arquebus, and only one or two are flintlock pistols, and it seems that the problem of ignition has not been perfectly solved, but as the first firecrackers in this world, these samples are good enough.
Li You and Gu Jiangzi took a few test shooters to the hidden shooting range, each musket was tested at no distance, it can be seen that the success rate of the flintlock pistol is still far less than the arquebus, Gu Jiangzi explained on the side, "The key is that the spring sheet for ignition is not easy to build, and the required steel requirements are too high, but Xiao Lao'er has also sounded a lot of methods now, all of which are used on those samples that have not yet been built, and they can be taken out for testing in a few days, and then the Lord Taiwei will be invited to come and check it." ”
"Mr. Gu is really skilled." Li You couldn't help but praise, although these arquebuses were not as good as those used by the Qi family's army, they were already very close, not to mention those flintlock pistols that surprised him, "It's been hard for Mr. Gu these days, and I will definitely come to watch the test firing after the sample is completed." ”
Maybe before Qian Hua's sailors complete their training at sea, Gu Jiangzi will be able to come up with mature samples, and when the time comes, he can consider equipping a batch to join the battle against the Yue Wang's sailors, and test the power of these firecrackers on the battlefield.
Of course, such a pure firearm force is not able to take on the important task of fighting independently, so building a large car modeled after Yue Fei's car formation has become Li You's best choice, after fighting side by side with the Qi family army for a long time, Li You is no stranger to this.
