In the evening, Wang Quanquan was happily counting the money on the side, when a person walked into the store, "This guest officer, you are late, and it is already closed." The king's authority did not raise his head, and he bowed his head and counted the money as always.

"That's a lot of money!"

"Small scenes."

Wang Quanquan replied subconsciously, and then he was stunned, why does this voice sound so familiar?

He immediately looked up at the person who came, and when he saw it clearly, he immediately smiled all over his face, "Yo, Master Wang is here." ”

The person who came was none other than the king's father, the current emperor.

Every time he heard Wang Quanquan greet him like this, Emperor Sheng'en couldn't help but want to smoke him.

Since his retirement, the Emperor Taishang suddenly had nothing to do, so he often went out of the palace to pay private visits, but he didn't expect to bump into the opening of the new store this time, and it looked quite lively, so he planned to come in and take a look, but he didn't expect to see Wang Quanquan with a lewd smile on his face, counting the silver tickets there.

The old emperor tugged at the corners of his mouth and said in a deep voice: "You opened this shop?" ”

"yes, it looks good."

The old emperor didn't take a stubble, and he still didn't understand the power of the king? If he said a good word, the other party's tail could reach the sky and poke a hole in the roof, so he didn't pay attention to him at all.

"What were they fighting over just now?"

"Oh, it's this."

Speaking of this, the royal authority took the exhibits and began to show them, and the old emperor picked up one of the cups and examined it carefully, "The workmanship is good, but it won't be robbed, right?" ”

As soon as Wang Quanquan heard this, he immediately smiled, and the old emperor couldn't help but chuckle when he saw his expression, it's over, he still hit the muzzle of the gun, and I'm afraid that this roof won't be able to be saved.

Sure enough, Wang Quanquan waved his hand and pointed to the code on the inside of the box: "Look here, each set of cups has a unique code, a total of 1,000 sets, and one set is less than one set for sale." ”

Then he picked up the cup again: "Let's see, the Year of the Monkey limited edition, the master painted by hand." The masters are almost eighty years old, the old eyes are dizzy, it takes three days to draw a set, just after painting this thousand sets, the master is completely blind, so this thousand sets are out of print! ”

"Look at the price again, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, less than two thousand taels."

The old emperor couldn't listen to it anymore, and opened his mouth to stop the royal authority from continuing: "Are you kid lying to people? ”

Wang Quanquan hurriedly shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense this guest, our store operates in good faith." ”

"Oh?" The old emperor still didn't believe it.

Wang Quanquan is also the master of active thoughts, and hurriedly came up: "Father, give you a set?" ”

The emperor glanced at him: "Aren't they all sold out?" ”

"It's okay, just produce a separate set for you."

"Aren't all the masters blind?"

"It's okay, I have eye medicine to clear my sight."

“……”

After dealing with the matter on the side of Liulichang, Wang Quanquan planned to rest for a few days first, go to Guanghan Mansion to listen to the drama or something, and by the way to see how Lu Xiaoxian interpreted the Red Mansion, but as soon as he went out, he met Liu Luming.

"What are you?" Looking at the other party's sweat, Wang Quanquan was surprised.

"Brother Wang, the new steel has been successfully researched and passed various tests."

Hearing this, Wang Quanquan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, seeing the other party's anxious appearance, he also thought that the ordnance factory had blown up, and it was only a matter of time before the new steel research was successful, Wang Quanquan was still very confident in Liu Luming, and now he has been studying for more than half a year, and it is said that there should be results.

"Let's go, let's see." Wang Quanquan's understatement answer made Liu Luming feel a little disappointed.

The two of them walked to the Ordnance Institute and went straight to the R&D department. The R&D department covers an area the size of an ordnance warehouse, and not only does research and development take place, but also steel smelting, musket test firing, and even gunpowder power testing.

Liu Luming picked up an arquebus and handed it to Wang Quanquan, because it was still in the testing stage at this time, so the arquebus only replaced the barrel with a newly developed high-strength iron tube, and the handle part was slightly optimized, and the rest was about the same as the original.

Wang Quanquan picked up the fire gun without a crosshair, aimed at the target in front of him, Liu Luming helped him light the fire rope on the side, and a few seconds later, with a loud bang, the projectile directly shot a hole in the opposite target, and the recoil force was so great that Wang Quanquan's shoulders were numb.

"Holy!"

The cultivation of the king's authority has deepened, and this recoil will naturally not hurt him, but even if it is just a numb shoulder, it is enough to show the power of this firecracker.

Seeing that the other party's originally calm expression finally changed, Liu Luming, who had been secretly observing, became complacent.

"Did you kid deliberately put too much gunpowder?" Wang Quanquan looked at Liu Luming on the side.

"How can that, I'm definitely putting a normal amount." Liu Luming explained, but his eyes were dishonest.

Wang Quanquan naturally won't believe his nonsense, this kid not only put more, but also put high-explosive gunpowder developed by himself, Wang Quanquan was not angry, he dared to do this It was definitely tested, and he knew that this weight was absolutely safe.

Picking up the barrel, Wang Quanquan looked at it carefully, the silver glittering barrel was not deformed, there were no cracks, the surface was smooth and there were no potholes, Wang Quanquan nodded with satisfaction.

"Can you change the arquebus to flint?"

"Absolutely, this is only the first version, and I will improve it later. I'm going to add something to the barrel for aiming, a trigger-pull mechanism to activate it, and a thing in the back that I can put on my shoulder. ”

"You're talking about the crosshairs, the hammers, and the butts?"

Liu Luming was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh, "Wonderful, Brother Wang!" Every time I invent something, you can give it a perfect name, and I really admire it in my subordinates! ”

Wang Quanquan waved his hand: "What should be admired is below." ”

"Nope! I admire Brother Wang even more. ”

"It's because I admire you more."

……

The next morning, Wang Quanquan was discussing the details of the new musket with Liu Luming, but at this time, the pot exploded in the court.

Just now, at the time of the early court, a dusty post man rushed to the top of the main hall and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! 10,000 cavalry of the Northern Turks captured Shazhou Wei, and the main general Fang Sinian was shot dead in front of the battle. ”

"What!?" There was a sudden wave above the court, not for anything else, just because the general Fang Sinian, who was stationed in Shazhouwei, had a loud nickname, named "Xiao Li Guang", and he knew that he was a good shooter, and the person who was good at shooting was shot to death in front of the battle, which couldn't help but make people feel surprised.

"Who is the other party's master?"

"Your Majesty, it is the new Great Khan of Northern Turkistan, Agudam."

"Agudam?" This is the first time Wang has heard of it.

At this time, a military general stood up and explained the confusion for Wang Zhixian: "Your Majesty, Agudamu is the son of the last Great Khan of Northern Turkia, Halbala, and has been raised by Taishi Mandu, Halbala just died last month, and the position of the Great Khan was handed over to Agudam. ”

Shazhou Wei is thousands of miles from the Beijing Division, even if it is nearly four days to go to the Beijing Division day and night, with the speed of the Northern Assault Cavalry, I am afraid that at this time it has reached the Anding Guard, and the new emperor knows that it is not appropriate to delay it at this time, "Spread my order, let the Chijin Wei go to reinforcements!" ”
