In her opinion, the current official road is completely sufficient, and it is completely superfluous to repair it with new materials, and there is no need.

Fang Xiu looked at her and asked rhetorically, "Your Majesty doesn't think this road is too bumpy?" ”

The little empress said, "I think it's okay." ”

Fang Xiu was speechless.

But as long as she drove twice on the modern road, she knew how unbearable the official road seemed to be good.

Fang Xiu sighed in his heart and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to ask about the road repair, after the repair is completed, Your Majesty will know the minister's good intentions." ”

Wu Mingkong pursed his lips, chose to believe him, and continued: "Even if you add the silver for road construction, it's still not right. ”

Fang Xiu said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will not spend money indiscriminately, and every expenditure of the treasury has been used on the blade." ”

Wu Mingkong was a little unhappy, and snorted: "It's not that I don't believe you, I just want to know where the money is used, but it's not okay?" ”

Fang Xiu thought for a moment.

The little empress also has a point.

In any case, she is the emperor of Daqian, and she is very honest in front of herself.

Fang Xiu didn't want to give her the feeling that there was an eternal estrangement between himself and her.

Thinking so, he looked at the little empress, his eyes sank, he put on an unfathomable appearance, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty doesn't believe that there is a weapon in the world that can kill enemies a hundred steps away. ”

The little empress thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it a bow and crossbow?" ”

Fang Xiu: "......"

Makes sense!

There was silence for a while, his expression was deep, and he said slowly:

"It's more accurate than a crossbow, it's easier to operate, and it's easier to make."

Hearing this, the little empress looked abrupt, slapped the table, and said loudly: "I understand! ”

"You understand what!"

The sudden roar startled Fang Xiu, and his original unfathomable appearance disappeared.

The little empress looked at Fang Xiu and said:

"You don't let the new army train weapons, just to equip this new weapon later!"

Fang Xiuxin said: I thought you could have any high opinions, so that's it?

Wu Mingkong saw Fang Xiu's expression, snorted, and continued:

"I also know that this weapon must be more powerful than I thought, otherwise I wouldn't have let you keep it so secret!"

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else?" ”

Wu Mingkong said: "All that silver was used to produce this weapon, and now a lot has been produced!" ”

Fang Xiu snapped his fingers and said, "All in the middle!" ”

Wu Mingkong raised his little head slightly, looking proud.

Fang Xiu looked at her and asked, "Your Majesty wants to see the minister's weapons?" ”

A flash of expectation flashed in Wu Mingkong's eyes, and then he hesitated a little and asked, "Is it okay?" ”

"Of course."

"Tell me first, what is the name of the new weapon?"

Wu Mingkong's expression was a little curious.

Fang Xiu replied, "Musket." ”

"Musket ......"

Wu Mingkong was slightly stunned, and his eyes revealed a trace of flickering.

I can't help but think of a picture.

A spear with flames burning in front.

Listening to the name, it doesn't feel very powerful.

"It's a little late today, tomorrow morning, the minister will take His Majesty to hunt......"

Fang Xiu looked at the little empress and said slowly: "Use a musket." ”

The moonlight shone through the window and into the house.

There were a few cooing birdsongs outside.

Wu Mingkong and Fang Xiu looked at each other, and when they saw his eyes, a feeling suddenly rose.

It's like this moment.

There is no barrier between her and him.

At the same time, Wu Mingkong suddenly realized that what Fang Xiu was about to show her was most likely his biggest hole card.

"Okay."

Wu Mingkong felt warm in his heart, a quiet smile appeared on his face, and he began to look forward to tomorrow's hunting in his heart.

[Mood +10000]

An icy reminder sounded.

10,000 sentiment points?

Fang Xiu was a little surprised.

But when I think about it, it feels normal.

With a sensitive mind like the little empress, it was easy to detect how honest Fang Xiu was with her at this moment.

Fang Xiu didn't say anything more, smiled and picked up a slice of beef and put it next to the little empress's mouth.

It's "Ahh

Wu Mingkong felt the taste from his taste buds, and his eyes quickly bent into crescents.

Eat and drink to your heart's content.

Fang Xiu and Wu Mingkong returned to their respective rooms, and in a peaceful environment, they quickly fell asleep.

Day 2.

Back mountain, somewhere in the woods.

Wu Mingkong looked at the burning stick engraved with the golden dragon pattern in his hand, and his expression was a little dazed.

"This is the musket?"

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that Fang Xiu was making fun of her.

In addition to the delicate shape, what is the difference between this thing and a burning stick?

"Dog traitor! Bullying me again! ”

Wu Mingkong looked menacing, holding a burning stick, and made a gesture of smashing at Fang Xiu!

Fang Xiu took a step back and stretched out his hand to stop her: "Your Majesty, calm down!" ”

Wu Mingkong glared at him and snorted, "Hurry up and take out the gun!" ”

Fang Xiu was a little helpless, and said, "Your Majesty's hand is the gun." ”

Seeing Fang Xiu's expression, it didn't look like he was joking.

Wu Mingkong was stunned for a moment, looked at the burning stick in his hand again, and said in a questioning tone: "This thing can kill enemies a hundred steps away?" ”

In the next second, she seemed to have discovered something, and said with a sigh:

"It's empty!"

"Can you pretend to miss an arrow?"

As he spoke, he put the muzzle of his gun to his head and looked inside.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu felt a little funny, reached out and took the musket, and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister will teach you how to use it."

Fang Xiu said, took out a bag from his arms, poured some gunpowder into the muzzle, and stuffed a small piece of cloth into it.

Immediately afterwards, he took out another iron pellet, stuffed it in, took out a wooden stick, and poked it inside.

Wu Mingkong watched from the side, his brows gradually furrowed, and he whispered:

"Seems a bit of a problem."

Fang Xiu glanced at her and explained, "This musket is rarely used by ministers, and its movements are not very skilled, but trained soldiers can quickly complete the loading of ammunition. ”

Wu Mingkong's face turned abrupt and stopped talking.

Fang Xiu continued to tinker, feeling almost done.

Raise your musket and aim at a small sapling not far away.

Immediately after, pull the trigger.

Bang!

There was an explosion.

A small sapling not far away was broken off by the waist and smashed to the ground.

When Wu Mingkong saw this scene, Tong Kong quickly shrank, his mouth opened slightly, and he was a little incredulous.

"This musket can really kill an enemy a hundred paces away!"

After a brief shock.

The little empress fell into deep thought again.

"It looks a bit similar to a slingshot, both of which shoot iron pellets."

"But muskets are more accurate and have a longer range."

"It seems to be very easy to operate, at least it doesn't take much effort!"

This moment.

Wu Ming thought a lot, and it took a while before he calmed down, looked at Fang Xiu, and said:

"Can you play with your gun?"

Fang Xiu smiled and said, "It was originally given to Your Majesty." ”

Wu Mingkong stretched out his hand to take the musket, looked at Fang Xiu, a strong desire for knowledge appeared in his eyes, and asked, "Can you tell me about the principle?" ”

"It's too complicated, Your Majesty won't understand it if you hear it."

Fang Xiu said with an unfathomable look.

Wu Mingkong glanced him up and down, raised his eyebrows, and said:

"You don't know, do you?"

“......”

Fang Xiu glanced at her and didn't answer.

In fact.

He really didn't know very well.

The flintlock pistol blueprint was drawn by lottery.

Fang Xiu took a few glances and found that it was a bit complicated, so he threw it to Daji and let her take full responsibility.

Daji studied the drawings, selected the location of the factory, and recruited a large number of craftsmen, which took a whole month.

In the middle, Fang Xiu barely asked questions except for exchanging his mood value for drawings to improve metallurgical technology.

Afterwards.

Every once in a while.

Daji reported to Fang Xiu on the production progress of a flintlock pistol.

Due to technical limitations, this thing can only be produced manually, and the efficiency is not high.

If you want to produce in large quantities, you can only fill it with the number of people.

In any case, by today, more than 30,000 flintlock pistols have been stored in the warehouses to equip the new army, and there is no problem.

Side.

Wu Mingkong saw that Fang Xiu didn't speak, a smile appeared between his eyebrows, he pretended to be surprised, and said:

"Don't you really know?"

"Didn't you just say that it's too complicated, I'm afraid I won't understand?"

"I always thought Fang Xiang knew everything."

"I didn't expect it...... Uh-huh......"

Halfway through speaking, Fang Xiu reached out and pinched his little face.

"Hmm...... Traitor...... Hmm...... Let go of my ......"

Fang Xiu looked at her expressionlessly, let go of his hand, and said coldly:

"If Your Majesty is weird again, don't blame Father Xiang for teaching Your Majesty a good lesson."

Wu Mingkong glared at him, and said angrily: "You dare!" ”

"Why don't you dare?"

Fang Xiu didn't say a word, he reached out and patted her buttocks, the force was neither light nor heavy.

Syllable!

[Mood +5000]

"You!"

The little empress obviously didn't expect Fang Xiu to really do it, and she also hit that kind of place.

Pretty blushed, glared at him, and said angrily: "You try another one!" ”

Syllable!

Fang Xiu was again.

A tingling sensation came.

Wu Mingkong's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You try ten more times!" ”

Fang Xiu glanced at her with strange eyes and said, "Why does the minister think, Your Majesty seems to be very happy?" ”

"Phew!"

Wu Mingkong said angrily: "You think everyone is as perverted as you!" ”

Snorted, don't look at his little head, don't look at his strange eyes.

Holding a flintlock pistol, he hummed: "Hurry up and teach me to play with guns!" ”

"Reload your ammunition first."

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand to take the flintlock pistol and did it again according to the previous process.

After handing it over to the little empress, she reminded:

"When aiming, the muzzle of the gun should not be pointed at the person."

"Once you're aiming, pull the trigger."

The little empress let out a "hmm", reached out and took the flintlock pistol, imitating Fang Xiu's posture, aiming at the tree not far away.

The action looks extremely stiff.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu walked behind her, crossed her sides with both hands, and wrapped her around.

Then take her hand and help her adjust her position.

Wu Mingkong felt the temperature coming from the palm of Fang Xiu's hand, and his delicate little face flushed.

Didn't speak, let him fiddle.

Behind her, Fang Xiu's exhaled hot breath hit her delicate earlobe.

A crispy and numb feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.

I couldn't help but tremble.

"Your Majesty, this is the right posture."

Fang Xiu's tone was gentle, and after adjusting his posture, he let go of his hand and took a step back.

Wu Mingkong took a deep breath, tried his best to calm his emotions, and didn't think about how he felt just now.

Holding the musket, aiming at the trees not far away, he slowly pulled the trigger.

Bang!

There was an explosion.

Splash of bark!

Wu Mingkong put down the musket in his hand and looked fixedly.

The blackened marks on the trees are clearly visible.

"It's really powerful!"

"It's also very easy to operate."

Wu Mingkong held the musket and said with some pity:

"It's just the speed of reloading, which is too slow compared to bows and arrows."

"Nothing is perfect......

Fang Xiu was going to explain what advantages muskets had over bows and arrows.

As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by the little empress.

"Yes!"

The little empress looked at Fang Xiu with starry eyes, blinked, and said coquettishly:

"I think my father is perfect."

Fang Xiu: "......"

Wu Mingkong snorted:

"Humph! What kind of eyes are you! ”

"I won't praise you next time!"

Fang Xiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, he heard the little empress continue:

"I haven't been on the battlefield, but I know what this musket means."

"Lian Zhen, a weak woman who is powerless, can be used the first time she sees it, let alone others."

"In other words, as long as there are enough muskets, in a very short period of time, the imperial court will be able to pull out a group of extremely powerful troops!"

"Not to mention sweeping the world, at least there is no problem in dealing with Zhou Guo."

The voice fell.

Fang Xiu couldn't help but glance at the little empress and praised: "Your Majesty can think of this, the minister is very pleased. ”

Wu Mingkong's watery eyes looked at Fang Xiu, and said coquettishly:

"It's all taught by my father."

Fang Xiu felt goosebumps all over his body, and he was silent for a while, and said:

"Actually......"

"If Your Majesty can't say sweet words, you don't have to."

Wu Mingkong was slightly stunned, a touch of anger appeared on his pretty face, his silver teeth clenched, and four words were squeezed out from between his teeth:

"Death to the traitor!"
