Time passed quietly, Zhu Zi and the others didn't talk for long, and the fragrant meal was served on the table.

The table was full of food, full of aroma, each person served a bowl full of rice, and on the table, there was also a lot of fine wine.

This is Zhu Zi's most luxurious hospitality at present, even when Yanwang Zhu Di came, it was not so luxurious, it was not their special treatment, mainly when Zhu Di came, they did not have any conditions, not to mention the hurry, they went very smart, and they didn't have much time to stay in Qiongzhou, so they could only deal with it simply.

"It's good to eat openly and treat it like your own home."

Zhu Zi looked at everyone and said with a smile.

Good wine and good meat, all of them have been earned for so long, hard work, think about the time when I first came to Qiongzhou, there was nothing, how long has it been now, from the food on the table, you can see that their quality of life has undergone qualitative changes, different from when they first came, so shabby.

His feelings are undoubtedly the deepest, from the prince of the Ming Dynasty, who has no worries about food and clothing every day, after arriving in Qiongzhou, even food is a problem, and he has to pull down and borrow food, and he may not believe it when he says it, this is something made by a prince.

"Wang Zhi, don't be busy, sit down and eat."

Zhu Zi beckoned Wang Zhi, who was still serving food, and asked him to sit down.

These people, Wang Zhi has paid a lot of money, since he came to Qiongzhou, he has been conscientious, following him, doing things for him, and there has been no complaint, and everything is done in an orderly manner.

"It's coming!"

After Wang Zhi put down the dish in his hand, he smiled and sat down.

Soon, after being full of wine and food, everyone except Zhu Zizai got drunk and lay on the table.

Zhu Zi has eaten several marrow washing fruits, and drinking alcohol is the same as drinking water, and he can't get drunk at all.

After standing up and glancing at everyone, he also turned around and left the living room.

Going around all the way, I walked out of King Qiong's mansion, kept looking at the suburbs, walked for a long time, and stopped after seeing a building in front of Nuoda.

"Your Highness, you're here."

The gunpowder expert walked out of it and spoke.

"Take me in and have a look, I've made something for more than a month."

Zhu Zi nodded slightly.

At this time, the huge building in front of him was a firearms factory.

After more than a month of construction, the firearms factory has been built, but what it looks like inside, he still doesn't know, from the outside, it is still quite atmospheric.

Ordinary people can't see what is going on inside, and firearms factories are also strictly guarded, and they are not allowed to enter without permission.

Firearms are strictly forbidden in Daming, and if someone with a heart finds out, there will be a big problem, so firearms are very important, and not everyone can enter them casually.

"Yes."

The firearms expert agreed, took Zhu Zi, and walked towards the main entrance.

"Your Highness."

The soldiers guarding at the door, after seeing Zhu Zi, all saluted.

If they can do this, except for Zhu Zi, except for Zhu Zi, no matter who comes, they will be stopped.

Zhu Zi waved his hand, signaled them to excuse himself, and followed the firearms expert and walked in.

As soon as I walked into the firearms factory, I was greeted by the smell of gunpowder.

Zhu Zi was still a little uncomfortable when he came for the first time, covered his mouth and nose, slowly followed the firearms expert, and walked inside.

The two came to a large gate, stopped, and the firearms expert came to the side, and after pulling the switch, the door slowly opened.

"Your Highness, this is where arquebuses are made, and these people have been taught and trained before they can start making arquebuses."

After walking in, the firearms expert also pointed to the previous introduction.

"Yes, how many arquebuses are in stock?"

Zhu Zi looked at the dozens of people sitting here, all separated by a distance, not interfering with each other, but without exception, they were all sitting on the matter at hand.

In more than a month, more than 20 people can be trained to learn to make arquebuses in this way, which is not so easy, you know, the people in Qiongzhou are all zero-based, and they don't even know what gunpowder is, let alone make firearms.

If it weren't for the strong professionalism of firearms experts, it might not be possible.

However, these are secondary, what he wants to know more is how many arquebuses have been made during the time he left, after all, in the future battles, with the help of arquebuses, their combat effectiveness will be far greater than before, and the battle damage can be greatly reduced, which is the most important thing.

Firearms are the mainstream of the times, and they are definitely at the forefront of the world when they are able to put arquebuses into battle.

"Due to the scarcity of materials and the fact that these people who make firearms have not been able to learn for a long time, and the investment time is not long, only more than 300 arquebuses, which are placed in warehouses."

"If we can solve the problem of materials, it is not a problem to train a group of people to make arquebuses and make 1,000 arquebuses a month."

The firearms expert thought for a moment and said.

The main problem is that there are too few materials, these talents have just put into the ranks of making arquebuses, they are not skilled enough, and the speed cannot keep up, a person is the fastest, and it takes three days to make a shot, and it is possible to spend seven or eight days on the slower, after all, everyone's ability to accept is different, and the efficiency will be different.

Of the more than 300 arquebuses, more than 100 were made by him, and the rest were made by these people who had just thrown themselves into it.

Among them, many of them could not be guaranteed quality, so they were dismantled and remade, and in the end, there were only more than 300 arquebuses.

"More than 300 strokes, I know."

"The arquebus is there, but what about the bullets?"

Zhu Zi nodded and pondered for a while.

Gunpowder is still a big problem, and there are metals, and metals, in fact, it's okay to say, after all, some farmers have a talent for mining, no matter how bad they are, it's not impossible to dig by yourself, and then refine.

But the problem of gunpowder is still very big, and if they want to get gunpowder, they can't be self-sufficient, so they can only rely on Zhu Di to help get it.

Although Zhu Di has a lot of right to speak now, gunpowder is not a trivial matter, and the help that Zhu Di can give in Beiping is still too small to make up for it, which is indeed a headache.

Unless, unless, they get the recipe for making gunpowder, they can also mass-produce gunpowder to achieve self-sufficiency.

But the formula of gunpowder, which is so easy to get, has been strictly guarded, not to mention, they are Qiongzhou, located in the south, and the possibility of getting gunpowder is even smaller.
