Facing Mu Ying's question, Zhu Su grinned: "Brother Mu Ying, why do you have to ask me." Aren't you already doing that? ”

Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and suddenly said, "What did you say...... It's a firearm! ”

Although Mu Ying is only a young man, he has already experienced more than ten battles, and at the age of eighteen, he was promoted to a commander and a cadre in the Ming army. He was kind to the Zhu family, but he was extremely ruthless when he fought. Although he doesn't often take the lead like Chang Yuchun and others, he can always penetrate the situation with a calm brain and command thousands of troops. He is best at the transfer and coordination between various arms.

Among them, he is especially good at the use of various types of firearms in the army.

"That's right, it's a firearm." Zhu Su stroked his palms and smiled. "Firearms, different from swords, are the next weapons that are about to have a 'weapon generation gap'!"

"The future firearms only need one person and one gun, and the ammunition is enough, and it will be held in the critical place, and even if he has thousands of troops and horses, he will not be able to surpass the thunder pool!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Su couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if the Ming Dynasty can have the two great powers of Venerable Gatling and Makqin Bodhisattva to protect the fortune of the country, where can he be afraid of any thieves and slaves!

"So powerful!" Zhu Biao was both surprised and delighted, and pulled Zhu Su's sleeve. "Fifth brother, then do you know how to make this powerful firearm! Why don't you quickly inform the Baoyuan Bureau of this method! ”

"Big brother, don't make trouble." Zhu Su's cheeks twitched. "I don't have that ability. If science and technology want to make breakthroughs, they all need to accumulate research and experiments. If you want to reach the point of being a modern businessman, it will take countless people to go through several generations and work hard to achieve it. ”

"The doorway is as high as the mountains and the sea is deep, I just have a head, how can I remember it."

"Even if you remember, you can't rub it out with your bare hands if it's so complicated......"

"What I want to say is that I must not waste technology, listen to those Confucian nonsense, and regard these things that our ancestors have explored for thousands of years as 'miraculous skills', but should be vigorously developed, which is a more stable millennium plan than any policy system."

"Hmm. What you say is also reasonable. Zhu Biao nodded. The "soap" that Zhu Su casually made, he had already thought of several wonderful uses. Not to mention that it can benefit the people, if it is properly planned, it can also open up financial resources for the imperial court. Just a soap is still like this, if it is related to military heavy weapons, I am afraid it will bring earth-shattering changes.

Before the Ming Dynasty, he did not pay enough attention to the aspect of craftsmanship and utensils.

"Brother Su, I know what you mean. The meaning of the words is that it is impossible to create a powerful firearm that can be used as a hundred in one place. ”

"But now I have a big Ming firearm, and most of them inherit the Yuan system. There are one or two improvements, but they are not very practical. ”

"Since you know the shape of the future firearms, you must be able to point out the way to improve my current firearms?"

Mu Ying's eyes flashed. Although I don't know the specifics, as long as I can name the direction of improvement, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty will be able to avoid many detours!

"Well, all I know is basic knowledge that can be used to lay a solid foundation for scientific development...... However, if you see the current firearms, you may be able to have some ideas. Zhu Su groaned.

He originally wanted to shirk it, but after thinking about it, the firearms of the Taqing Dynasty were like that, and the firearms of the early Ming Dynasty must be even worse. It's still okay to improve the gunpowder recipe, explain the principle of the flintlock pistol, or something.

"In that case, what are you waiting for?" Mu Yingxi suddenly stood up. "Let's set off now and go to the Baoyuan Bureau!"

At this time, the Ming Dynasty did not even establish a special firearms research and manufacturing organization, but the Baoyuan Bureau, which minted coins, was also responsible for the task of manufacturing firearms.

"Huh? Right now? Zhu Su was stunned, and his face couldn't help but be a little reluctant. It's tiring enough to make these soaps today. Wouldn't it work another day? ”

"How can you be so lazy at such a young age." Mu Ying smiled and rubbed his forehead. Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "This room is also quite spacious, why don't you go to the Baoyuan Bureau to get some firearms and gunpowder back, and we will study it here." The extraordinaryness of the fifth brother should not be shown to others. ”

"Well, I'm being reckless." Mu Ying nodded, then took a big stride and hurriedly went outside.

"This ...... Really go......" Zhu Su was dumbfounded. According to his plan, once he had the soap, the next step was to burn the glass, and then make a vegetable greenhouse, so that he could have a bite of green vegetables to eat in the winter.

Why did you start engaging in arms in a daze?

"Fifth brother, I think about your soap, I feel promising." Zhu Biaodao. "If it is well managed, it will benefit all peoples. Would you like to leave this method to Big Brother? ”

"What does Big Brother want to do with soap?" Zhu Su didn't expect that not long after the soap was born, Zhu Biao was already ready to make some big moves with him.

"It's nothing more than making the method public, or handing it over to the Huangzhuang Huangdian and selling it for the imperial court to open source." Zhu Biaodao.

is worthy of being the prince personally cultivated by Lao Zhu, and he still has some vision, and he can see the value behind the soap at a glance. It's just that you haven't considered your brother's patent rights......

Give me some money to spend!

…… Forget it, in this era, as long as the family is not separated, the youngest son is not qualified to hide the small treasury. You must not even think about the patent fee or anything, if you open your mouth to ask for it, you may have to be beaten by Lao Zhu.

Zhu Su lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Although the eldest brother has a good intention, if he does it directly, I am afraid that this soap will not only fail to be popularized among the people, but will also become a tool for some large households to collect money." ”

"I have some ideas, we can do this, this and this, this and ......"

After speaking, Zhu Biao was pleasantly surprised: "But I didn't expect that the fifth brother is still proficient in economics!" ”

"I know a little bit about one or two, I know a little bit about one or two." Zhu Su said modestly. "My younger brother is not talented, in addition to the way of politics, all kinds of things, will be a little bit."

"Hahaha." Seeing his pretending to be humble but actually proud, Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing. "Science first, then economics. It has only been a day since my fifth brother came to me, and I have been studying for ten years. ”

"Tomorrow I will go into the palace to talk to my father, if my father agrees to this plan, my eldest brother will reward you!"

"You don't have to." Zhu Su said. "As long as you don't let me live that kind of restrictive life again."

"You...... is really determined to be the king of freedom. Zhu Biao smiled.

As he spoke, he saw that Mu Ying had come back with a big wooden box on his back.

He put the box in the courtyard, and suddenly there was a "bang", raising a lot of dust. Zhu Su was taken aback. He didn't expect this box to be so heavy, he raised his eyes to look at Mu Ying, who was as pale as usual, and remembered that he was carrying this big box on his back, his face was not hindered at all, and his steps were still light and fast.

"I didn't expect my brother-in-law, who has been with me for many years, to practice such a powerful martial arts without making a sound!" Zhu Su said secretly in his heart.
