Several people in the Daomen were a little surprised, not only surprised by this woman's ruthlessness, but also surprised by this woman's ability.

In the vast sea, it is easy to kill people alone, but it is not easy to return to Fenglin Continent with gold and silver, and make a deal with the local feudal lord.

The pirates of the sea are all first-class villains, and the vast sea is a place of lawlessness, and if you want to come back from the sea alive surrounded by thieves, ability and luck are indispensable. Even if it is to return to Fenglinzhou, everything is not fine, not everyone can make a deal with the feudal lords, these feudal lords are not Daomen who cherish feathers, a good-looking woman with so much gold and silver to meet them, it is like a three-year-old child holding gold through the city, a careless, even people with money will become the pocket of those big names. Taking 10,000 steps back, it is always more cost-effective to take this woman as a concubine and occupy her gold than to seal a banner book, but the lord of the Songjiang Domain did not do this, not only sealed the flag book, but also put her in charge of such a large iron-making workshop, which is already very revealing.

This is not a simple woman, and it cannot be simply regarded as an ordinary flag book.

Phantom ???????????????? Put down the Zhongqi in his hand and personally make tea for several guests.

The layout of this house abandons the traditional wooden floors and hanging stoves in Fenglinzhou, which is quite a combination of Chinese and Western, and the tables of the Central Plains and the sofas of the West are not so abrupt. In the eyes of many people in Fenglinzhou, it may be strange, but people in the Daomen will feel familiar, after all, the Daomen also pays attention to Western learning.

While making tea, Phantom Ji asked, "I don't know what Qi Gaogong is doing here?" ”

Qi Xuansu did not answer directly: "This 'here', if it is to Fenglinzhou, then I can answer, our Daomen came to Fenglinzhou to quell the rebellion at the invitation of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"This proposition is a bit too grand for my little bannerman." Phantom Ji smiled, "Of course I asked Qi Gaogong what he had to do with my little array. ”

"Not small." Qi Xuansu said, "It's not so much a formation house as a workshop." Such a workshop is almost as good as the C-class workshop of our Tianji Hall. ”

Phantom Ji said: "It turns out that Qi Gaogong is here for my iron-making workshop. ”

"So to speak, but the Phantom Ji Banner doesn't have to worry too much, we're not here to take away other people's property." Qi Xuansu raised his hand and said, "I'm just curious." ”

Tang Yongshui immediately sent the long gun, as the chief of the Tianji Hall, he was the only one who had Sumeru, mainly because he carried a large number of firearms, if these things were not stored in Sumeru, but carried with him, it was easy to cause certain accidents.

Qi Xuansu took the long gun and put it in front of Phantom Ji.

Phantom just glanced at it, "We don't make firebolts. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "The raw material needed to make the fire gun is steel. I'm not from Tianji Hall, Chief Tang, you explain it to the Phantom Ji Banner. ”

"Yes." Tang Yongshui responded, and then looked at Phantom Ji, "Phantom Ji Banner has traveled around the world, so she is naturally no stranger to the fire gun. When the projectile is fired, the power generated by the explosion of gunpowder will propel the projectile through the gun tube and finally shoot out. If the projectile does not slide out of the barrel smoothly when it is fired, it will cause the so-called explosive chamber. There are many reasons for this, such as the congenital poor design of the firebolt, the shoddy construction of the gun, and the obstacles in the gunning tube that are enough to block the projectile from ejecting. The last of these can be avoided by daily maintenance, so cleaning the gun pipe is one of the key tasks of fire gun maintenance. ”

"I would like to focus on the second point, the manufacturing process of the barrels, that is, the billets are cast and forged into bars in the steel workshop, and then sent to the weapons workshop for subsequent processing. After receiving the bar, the armory workshop cut it into sections, removed the defective skin, and then drilled a deep hole in the center of the steel rod. ”

"In short, a gun pipe needs to be completed by the cooperation of the steel workshop and the weapons workshop, and the Phantom Ji Banner said that you don't make firearms, of course, there is no problem, because it is a matter of the weapons workshop, let's not talk about the weapons workshop first, only the steel workshop."

"Gun tubes are often exposed to high temperatures and pressures. Under such conditions, the structural strength requirements for the gun tube are very strict. The iron rod used for the gun tube is not an ordinary iron rod, it is called the gun tube blank. It is difficult to obtain the materials needed to make high-quality gun blanks, and the first batch of 'fire guns' produced by the Toyotomi Prime Minister back then was purchased from our Tenjido. ”

"Although later we were in the Tianji Hall???????????????? At the request of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office, the corresponding smelting technology was taught, but the relevant technology was never leaked to the local feudal lords, so we are curious about when Fengrinzhou had this technology. ”

As the owner of the iron-making workshop, it was impossible for Phantom Ji not to understand Tang Yongshui's words, and the smile on her face gradually faded: "I didn't expect this mage to be an expert in this way. ”

With that, she pushed a cup of tea in front of Tang Yongshui.

Tang Yongshui glanced at Lu Yuting, and after Lu Yuting confirmed that the tea was not poisonous, he took a sip of tea from the teacup, moistened his throat, and then said: "The structure of this firestone is very simple, and it is still in the stage of the firestring, but the forging technology is very amazing. ”

"Generally speaking, there is demand for progress, and it is the armory workshop that takes the lead, and the armory workshop has some kind of new design that greatly increases the power of the firecracker, and then finds that the gun pipe cannot withstand it, so it asks the steel workshop to forge a better gun. Even if there is a deviation, the gap between the two will not be too big, like a pair of twins. But this firearm is very interesting, the smelting technology far exceeds the weapon forging technology, so we would like to ask the Phantom Ji Qiben to give an explanation. ”

Phantom Ji said: "How can Qi Gaogong and Master Tang think that this fire gun is from my workshop? ”

Qi Xuansu said: "This fire gun is what we got at the junction of Isaishi County and Jiuzhu County, we have just arrived in Izumo Province not long ago, and this group of people is most likely the local force of Izumo Country." The Songjiang Domain has always been famous for its iron smelting and steelmaking in Fenglinzhou, and the firecrackers must have been produced by themselves, and they would not buy firecrackers from outside, let alone spend a lot of money to buy a batch of high-quality firebolt blanks from the Prime Minister's House, and then cast them into this kind of arquebus with a fairly ordinary design. ”

Phantom Ji was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Qi Gaogong's hole is like a candle, Phantom Ji admires." Yes, these embryos are indeed from our workshop, and the smelting technology I brought back from the West is what I brought back from the West, and if I didn't have this technology, the local feudal lord would not have let me take charge of this workshop. As for the forging technology related to the firecracker, the Fenglinzhou Provincial Government and the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion are very tightly controlled, and it is difficult to obtain, except for a few powerful daimyos, ordinary daimyo are still in the stage of the arquebus. Qi Xuansu and Lu Yuting glanced at each other.

】

Phantom Ji's answer solved the doubts in his heart, and sure enough, it was from the West. However, the good news is that the Holy Court did not take the initiative to spread it, and from this point of view, the Holy Court's hand has not yet reached Fenglin Continent.

But if you let it go, it's a matter of time.

Daomen is not bad for Fenglinzhou, about farming and people's livelihood technology, there is no problem with it to Fenglinzhou, but it is related to military affairs, so it must not be careless. Fenglinzhou has always been a wolf's ambition, and in this regard, it is necessary to guard against it.

Qi Xuansu thought for a moment and said, "The Phantom Ji Banner has such a technique, just making a small flag book in Izumo Country, don't you feel condescending?" ”

Phantom Ji's eyes flashed: "Is Qi Gaogong trying to recruit me on behalf of the Daomen?" ”

Qi Xuansu didn't answer directly, and the words changed: "Phantom Ji Qiben, who are those two void monks?" ”

Phantom Ji seemed to have expected Qi Xuansu to ask such a question, and did not go around in circles: "One out of every ten Void Monks is a secret agent, and these two Void Monks came to my workshop, naturally they are not ordinary Nothingness???????????????? Monks are so simple, they are people of the imperial court. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Emperor Ming Yong of our Great Wei Dynasty in the Central Plains once said that the imperial court is just a few palaces, and the rice is still eaten in separate pots. ”

Phantom Ji understood, so she had to say, "Okay, they are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and have brought me the Emperor's holy decree. ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "Can I read the holy decree?" ”

Phantom Ji got up and went to the inner room, and when she came back, she had an extra silk in her hand, with a wooden shaft, similar to the holy decree of the Central Plains.

Qi Xuansu took the holy decree and actually understood it, because ninety percent of it was written in the Central Plains, and the beginning was: God bless, keep the eternal lineage, Emperor Zuo for thousands of years, and the emperor of Fenglin Kingdom forgave his life. In the middle of the position is a large seal, the font is a large seal, written "phoenix scale national seal" four words.

Qi Xuansu closed the holy decree: "The emperor wants to seal the Phantom Ji Banner as a viscount?" ”

Phantom Ji said: "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor intends to follow the example of the West and the Central Plains and set up a new title system, that is, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. The generals of the public family and the samurai family are both dukes, and there are six of them including the current regent Guan Bai Toyotomi family, known as the six regents Guan family. There are also the lords of the big feudal clans such as Choshu and Satsuma, and the Jiuqing family, all of whom are dukes. The rest of the daimyo lords and ministers were generally marquis or earls. Under the lord of the domain, there are so many close ministers, what a big old man, as for us flag books, it would be good to be a baron. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "But the emperor has made you a viscount, and your emperor is generous." ”

Phantom Ji smiled: "It's just a big pie." Using things that don't belong to you to invite people to buy people's hearts, and exchanging a false name for others is of course generous. And under this title system, the royal family benefits the most, from the emperor to the prince, all of them. ”

"It seems that Emperor Fenglinzhou has a big plan." Lu Yuting said softly, "Now it seems that the situation in Fenglinzhou will come to this point, and the royal forces are also 'very successful'. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "This is natural, the so-called 'respecting the king', 'respecting the king' must be before the 'respecting the road'." Don't forget, our Great Xuan Emperor His Majesty can't concurrently serve as the Great Palm Sect, but the Emperor of Fenglin Continent is also the sect leader of the Heavenly Gate. ”
