Zheng Quqi was disappointed with Ye Guo's current handicraft industry from the bottom of his heart, but found that he had not received any feedback or reaction.

She deflected her umbrella and looked up, only to see the two guards listening to her words, and their two mosquito coil eyes looked at her with a bewildered expression, as if they did not understand what she was talking about.

The guards are guards, and they don't have a part-time weapon manufacturing job.

"Is this gun standard in the official system, or is it exclusive to your guards?" Zheng Quqi asked curiously.

The people of the government use these to scare and scare the thieves and thieves, and even if the border guards can't all be treated like this, right?

Now the guards could understand, but when they understood, they darkened their faces and said impatiently, "Where did you come from, madman, if you don't want to leave, then we can only do it."

Seeing that they regarded themselves as suspicious people, Zhenghuhu stepped forward to arrest them, Zheng Quqi took two steps back with an umbrella, and hurriedly took out the gold seal from his sleeve pocket to show his identity, but he didn't find it, but he saw that the guard was scolded by a voice.

"Stop!"

The guard stood under the eaves, and was about to descend the steps, when he heard it, he immediately turned around, and when he saw the person coming, he immediately put away his anger, and stood up and saluted respectfully to the visitor: "Beitang Iron Official."

"Well, you two keep watch, I'll take care of this."

The guards looked at each other, and although they didn't know why, they obediently stepped aside.

And Zheng Quchi, who was halfway out, stopped, and she looked at the person who was walking towards her.

He should be thirty or forty years old, not very tall, short and fat, with a big round face, dark skin, a few folds on his eyelids, blue and black under his eyes, and his eyes look squinting and staring, as if his eyes are not good, and he seems to be tired of staying up all night all year round.

Iron official, what kind of official is it, an official who strikes iron?

Zheng Quqi guessed in his heart.

"What did you just say, lady?"

He is not afraid of the rain, although the rain is much lighter now, but the drizzle falls like a filament on his hair and clothes, and he doesn't care about soaking it slowly.

"Me? What did you say?"

"You say ......" Kitado Mu has a good memory, and he simply repeated what she said earlier: "The ratio of the blade to the handle is wrong, the angle of the blade's refraction can be seen at a glance that it is not sharp enough, although it is blunt but not hard enough, the gun is wooden, the strength and toughness are insufficient, it is impossible to do the coexistence of sprint and lethality, can't you choose a better material to cast the gun body?"

After saying that, he tried to look at her with those squinting eyes, as if waiting for her to continue to say a fifteen-ten.

Zheng Quqi turned the handle of the umbrella, but did not follow his thoughts, but asked: "You might as well answer me first, this kind of wooden gun barrel has long been abandoned by other countries, or ordinary wood, and it should also be used thick wood or Hemu at the very least, I heard that the body of Hongshengguo's gun is made of a composite material, with beef tendon wood as the core, and then wrapped in bamboo pieces, and then tightly wound a layer of copper wire rattan to ensure the flexibility of the rod, and finally painted with lacquer, and why is Ye Guo still so primitive?"

Beitang Mu was amazed when he heard her say so much about Chang ***, this spear of Hongsheng Kingdom is indeed famous in the Seven Kingdoms, but he didn't expect that she not only said the key know-how in one word, but even the production process of others is like a treasure.

「…… Madame doesn't know, Hong Shengguo's spear requires overloaded arm strength, and although our wooden spear is primitive and simple, it can be faster and lighter to sprint." He can only talk nonsense to save the dignity of himself and his colleagues.

It can't be said that these craftsmen in Ye have little knowledge and no inspiration, so they can't make such excellent and amazing weapons as other countries, right?

Zheng Quqi shook his head: "I think this kind of thinking is wrong, light should not be the first consideration of the spear, the priority of the long-handled weapon should be how to make the attack range wider, the spear will concentrate the damage on the tip of the spear when it sprints, so sharpness can have excellent armor-piercing function, and its penetration and killing power on the battlefield are the most important."

Naturally, the weapons used by the army and the weapons used by ordinary people cannot be considered in the same way, and the focus of the former should be concentrated

In the large-scale battle on the battlefield, the latter is simply a weapon that is lethal and easy to carry.

This again mentions the tip of the gun...... After silently writing down the key points of the Hongsheng Kingdom spear manufacturing that she mentioned, Beitang Mu said with a wry smile: "Madame is quite insightful, but unfortunately it does not fit the reality of our Ye Kingdom."

"How so?"

"As the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, the iron forged from the minerals such as bronze, iron, and copper, white tin, and black tin (lead) that we can currently use is always unsatisfactory, or it is hard enough, but it cannot be beaten to keep sharp, and if it is sharp, it is easy to break......

She knew this in Fuxian, and the smelting technology of Ye Guo is still relatively young, but she can temporarily solve this problem by using the solid decarburization of cast iron into steel, which has the advantage of being able to produce steel with a great output, and she can use the steel filling method to improve the quality of higher quality.

"What else?"

「…… There is a serious shortage of capable people in our ordnance superintendent now, and some old people want to make a suitable gun for use on the battlefield, which is very difficult.

Oh, in addition to technical problems, there are also talent problems, and even the problem of fishing at work, it sounds like this weapons supervisor is indeed a mess.

"Can I go in and have a look?" She asked.

Beitang Mu glanced at her twice, and suddenly bowed down: "General's wife, dare to ask if you have the golden seal of the three armies?"

The Ordnance Supervision is subordinate to the Shaofu, which is not only a first-class arsenal, a shop specializing in the manufacture of weapons, but also a subordinate unit of the central garrison.

Zheng Quqi raised his eyebrows, no wonder he was willing to talk to her about so many things, it turned out that he knew her identity early on.

"Is that what you're talking about?"

She held up a gold seal in her hand, Beitang Mu looked up, and his eyes widened suddenly, he didn't expect her to really have it......

After Beitang Mu glanced at her again, he stopped talking nonsense, and turned to the side directly, "Mrs. General, please."

How could the general's wife have the golden seal of the three armies, wasn't this handed over to His Royal Highness by King Ye? This matter has been reported in the Ministry of War, so it can only prove that His Royal Highness the Prince has a good relationship with the general's wife...... After some thought, Beitang Mu became more and more polite to Zheng Quqite and did not dare to slack off.

As soon as he entered the ordnance superintendent, Beitang Mu introduced to Zheng Quqi, who was not very familiar with the inside of the ordnance superintendent, that there were left and right sides in the ordnance superintendent, and they were in charge of making weapons, and there were also east and south iron officials, who were in charge of the drum casting, and the ordnance superintendent was divided into two parts, one was the courtyard, and the other was the military warehouse, the former made bows, arrows, swords, armor and other kinds of weapons, and then they were all filled in the latter's military depot.

After listening to his explanation, Zheng Quqi had an idea: "Can you go to the arsenal first?"

"Of course."

Led by an insider, Zheng Quqi's itinerary can be described as "windy", no one stepped forward to ask for obstruction, and they came all the way to the military depot.

Zheng Quqi took a long breath, it was really Grandma Liu who had seen it when she entered the Grand View Garden.

As a weapons storage center, the scale of the arsenal is undoubtedly huge, and after the guards pushed open the thick copper nail gate, Zheng Quqi couldn't help but exclaim at a glance: "Is this, so big?"

The head of the Beitang pastor followed behind her and introduced her: "The arsenal is divided into the east and north courtyards, and there are weapons warehouses in the east and north courtyards, and there are ten types of warehouses in the warehouses, and each warehouse of the military arsenal stores weapons according to classification......

Zheng Quqi walked to the east courtyard first, and she saw a large room, these are the arsenals, the construction method of these warehouses, the size of the rammed nest, and the thickness of the rammed layer, all of which are exquisite.

Different from the houses she usually sees outside, the walls of these warehouses are generally wide and thick, in addition to being a load-bearing wall, safety considerations are more important, and some warehouse walls are even twice as wide and thick as the walls of other storage sites, which shows that when the warehouse was built, it was intended to enhance the impact resistance of the warehouse.

Outside these storehouses were four guards, armor-piercing and knives, except for the high walls and gates

In addition to the guards, the treasury and small treasury inside are also guarded by special personnel, which shows how strong the security of the military warehouse is.

Walking down outside the treasury, Zheng Quqi really felt as if she saw the most important "treasure house" of the entire Ye Kingdom displayed in front of her eyes, the weight of the arsenal was enough to affect the combat strength of an army, of course she was not satisfied with just scratching her boots.

She asked, "I want to go into the storeroom and have a look."...

Beitang Mu had responded to her needs before, but now she was a little embarrassed: "This ......"

"What's wrong? Can't you?"

Pastor Beitang said: "I want to lead the general's wife in, but the authority of the lowly position is insufficient, and only the left or right side can have the key to open it."

Zheng Qu said, "Then you can go and call someone over."

A hint of strange color flashed in Beitang Mu's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, let's go."

Zheng Quqi didn't wait long, then he saw a middle-aged man with a big belly swaying over, he walked a little eagerly, and with a flattering smile on his face, as soon as he approached, he clasped his hands into fists and said, "Nangui has seen the general's wife."

As soon as Zheng Quqi saw the other party's style, he knew that a smiling tiger was coming.

When dealing with this kind of person, you can't be polite and tactful with him, otherwise he will be more slippery and difficult to catch than anyone else.

"I'm here to check the armory for His Royal Highness, so I'll trouble Zuo Shangfang to open a door."

"This, this is all a matter under the personal supervision and jurisdiction of the lowly officials, naturally there can be no problem, why would His Royal Highness suddenly let the general's wife come over for this trip?" The smile on his lips froze slightly.

Zheng Quqi's face was cold, and he didn't intend to follow the convention of reaching out and not hitting the smiling face at all, so he directly took out the killer weapon and said, "This is the golden seal of the three armies, I don't know if Zuo Shangfang can recognize it?"

Nan Gui looked at it, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead, he squeezed out a trace of laughter: "Recognize it, you can open it, open it, open it."

Let's open it, I don't think a little woman like her can understand the quality of weapons, Zuo Shangfang secretly thought fiercely, he didn't think there would be a problem, he didn't cover it up in advance, but fortunately, it was not a professional person who came.

Beitang Mu glanced at Nan Gui, he had been with Nan Gui for so long, he naturally understood what he was thinking now, the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing an imperceptible smile.

Nangui, I'm afraid that the final result will not be as you wish.

Zheng Quqi entered one of the warehouses, and as soon as the door opened, a row of tall wooden shelves were full of iron arrowheads of thickness, length and length, and some of the copper arrowheads were placed at the end, mostly quadrangular and sharp, and she picked them up and weighed them for a while, and then knocked them on each other, listening to their crisp sounds.

She didn't say a word after reading it, and said, "Next storeroom."

So they moved to another storeroom.

It was a knife storeroom, and when she opened the door, there was a dull feeling of lack of air, and she asked, "How do you do your daily weapons inspection and maintenance?"

"This、This is the duty of the right Shangfang.,I didn't ask much about this order.,What's wrong?"

"You don't know how to store, use, and maintain weapons? For example, arrows and crossbow arrows should be stored in a dry and ventilated place, and iron tools should be regularly checked for their degree of rust and oil.

They didn't reply for a moment, and there was silence in the storeroom.

In the next inspection, Zheng Quqi only summarized one point.

"The weapons are brittle, they are not made well, and they are not applicable, and they are wasted on people's strength."

The management of the martial arts is an important part of the army's combat effectiveness, but now the rot of the Ye country starts from the roots, these broken copper and iron, and the weapons that others have updated for many years, have become their mainstream, how to fight?

Others don't have to guess, they all know what weapons they will take, Zheng Quqi After looking at the arsenal, his whole heart was cold.

"Madame General, you don't understand these things at all, and it's a bit of an exaggeration to say this."

He picked up Joe.

Zheng Quqi

I really don't understand how they operate, but what she sees is that these weapons are simply outdated, if a big war really breaks out, what kind of result will it be if the soldiers of Ye Kingdom go to the battlefield with these weapons, she shuddered just thinking about it.

"I don't understand? Okay, I don't understand, so I'll go back and report this matter to His Royal Highness, don't worry, I won't exaggerate, I won't add fuel to it, I will tell the truth."

Zuo Shangfang suddenly said in a vicious voice: "No! You don't want to go back......

欻——

A rusty iron sword was pressed against Zuo Shangfang's neck, and he looked at the sword and looked at it right in front of a pair of cold star-cold eyes.

"Do you believe it, I killed you now, and I can still walk out of here unscathed?"

"You—you don't dare......

"Whose lady do you think I am, why should I not dare?"

Whose wife?

Yu Wensheng, the only general in Ye State.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mrs. General, it's me talking nonsense, please spare my life."

"Fear of being known to His Royal Highness, right?"

His face stiffened, squeaked, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
