Jiangxi, Nanchang Province.

At this moment, Cao Shunhe, the governor of Jiangxi, is leading the officials in the government to go out of the city to see each other off.

"No need, just send it here!"

I saw Hu Zongxian riding on a jujube red horse, retracting his gaze from Cao Shunhe, and so on.

"Well, cherish."

"Precious."

After exchanging respects, Hu Zongxian immediately led the army of Zhejiang and embarked on the way home.

At this moment, the team of Wang Shun, the general manager of Qian, has changed from the front army to the rear army, and is responsible for the rear of the large army.

"This battle is really painful, and it ended hastily without encountering any decent resistance during the whole process!"

"yes, it's over before I get back to it."

"I think when I was in the city, as long as I dared to resist, I would go up and cut it directly with a knife, not to mention how enjoyable it was."

"I heard that this time the salary is still distributed according to the previous practice, that is to say, the imperial court will issue double the salary, not only that, but the pension is also very generous!"

"What's the use of a high pension, you won't have a place to spend it then, so you can only look forward to burning some paper money for you during the New Year's holidays."

When the troops were marching slowly, several of Wang Shun's subordinates began to chat, and their tones were full of reluctance.

"Hmph, let me tell you, as long as we fight with Governor Hu, we will have a good life!"

"Not to mention anything else, in terms of salary alone, our soldiers here in Zhejiang are much better than the rest of the places."

"I heard that before, the salaries of the guards in Fujian were still owed for half a year!"

Wang Shun listened to the discussion of his subordinates, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, and couldn't help but join in.

Seeing that Wang Shun's boss had also joined them, these soldiers were even more excited, and hurriedly asked Wang Shun about the previous battles.

As we all know, Wang Shun relied on the accumulated merits to achieve the position of the thousand general manager step by step, and he participated in the previous several large-scale battles!

And it is precisely because of the living example of Wang Shun that the soldiers are fighting extremely hard, and their combat effectiveness is also very amazing, after all, no one is willing to be left behind, and they all want to climb up step by step!

"Listen, the Governor took us ...... at that time."

……

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

At this moment, Jiajing was sitting next to the bookcase, typing a draft, only to see that it was written that he would explain the content when he was going to teach in Guozijian next.

At this moment, Lu Fang walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall with a silent step.

Before Lu Fang entered the door, Jiajing heard his voice.

"Your Majesty, what a great event!"

"Oh, what's the big event?"

Jiajing was quite puzzled by Lu Fang's whole person being so excited, and then raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Your Majesty, didn't you go to the Weapons Division earlier and come up with the idea of a grenade?"

"Over there, the Weapons Division has restored this thing called a grenade."

In the face of Jiajing's inquiry, Lu Fang did not dare to hide it in the slightest, and immediately told everything he knew.

"Oh, the Armory Division actually made it."

After listening to Lu Fang's story, Jiajing's face was full of surprise, and he said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, before this, the Weapons Division has conducted many experiments!"

"This new weapon, called a grenade, is so powerful that it is said to be able to blast a large hole in the city wall!"

Lu Fang saw that the emperor was very interested in this matter, and immediately described it with a fluttering eyebrow.

When Jiajing heard this, he already knew very well that there must be some exaggeration in this.

But Jiajing was still quite interested in the weapons made by the Weapons Division according to his own ideas.

Immediately, I saw Jiajing turn his gaze to Lu Fang and commanded.

"Lu Fang, go and call Yan Song and them together, and accompany me to have a look!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave maid will go and inform Yan Ge Lao and them."

After Lu Fang responded respectfully, he then left the Heart Cultivation Hall quickly and marched in the direction where the cabinet was.

……

In the cabinet, several people were reviewing the relevant notes, and Gao Gong's whole person looked sullen.

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng on the side asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, after the auction ended, I roughly calculated it again, and found that the sea certificate of the Sea Trade Division was still too cheap!"

Gao Gong shook his head in the face of Zhang Juzheng's inquiry, and responded.

"The sea voucher is indeed sold a little cheaply, and the little silver paid by these businessmen only takes a year at most to earn back!"

"I'm thinking, should we give His Majesty another lesson, for these merchants, there should be corresponding regulations, so that they can be managed, right?"

Yan Song, who was on the side, heard Gao Gong's troubles, and then interjected.

"Elder Yan Ge's idea is good, he should give it to His Majesty."

When Xu Jie, who was on the side, heard this, he also followed closely with Ying Hedao.

At this moment, there was a flurry of footsteps from outside the cabinet, and I saw a servant walking in quickly.

"Grandpa Lu is asking to see you outside!"

"Let him in."

Seeing this, several people hurriedly ordered.

"Yes!"

The official immediately took the order and left, and a moment later, Lu Fang entered the cabinet with light steps.

"I've seen Grandpa Lu later!"

Under the leadership of Yan Song, several people in the cabinet immediately saluted Lu Fang unhurriedly.

"No need, Your Majesty asked me to inform you, and I'll go with him to the Weapons Division later!"

After Lu Fang looked around, he immediately announced the news to everyone with a smile.

"Your Majesty wants us to accompany him to the Weapons Division?"

"Could it be that the Weapons Division has made some progress?"

Yan Shifan, who was on the side, couldn't help but guess after hearing the news passed on by Lu Fang.

"Could it be that the new cannon developed by the Ordnance Division has made progress?"

Zhang Juzheng gave his thoughts after combining the current information.

"No, it's not, let me tell you, it was His Majesty's original idea of a new weapon called grenade, which was restored by the Ordnance Division!"

I saw Lu Fang shake his head helplessly, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to reveal the correct answer.

"Grenade, what is this, I've lived most of my life, why haven't I heard of it?"

Seeing this, Yan Song also raised his doubts.

"Yes, what is this thing called a grenade, which can make His Majesty so excited!"

Xu Jie, who was on the side, was also interested in this new weapon called grenade under the narration of everyone.

"We don't know the specifics, according to the people in the Weapons Division, this grenade is something thrown out of your hand!"

"It's like a cannonball, but it's thrown out of your hand."

Seeing this, Lu Fang explained to everyone by looking through the few knowledge reserves in his mind.

"I understand when I say this, it turns out that it is a cannonball that can be exploded and thrown at the enemy in my hand!"

After listening to Lu Fang's narration, Yan Shifan also had a general impression of the grenade.

"Everyone, don't waste any more time, Your Majesty is still waiting for us in the Heart Cultivation Palace!"

"Oh, okay, okay."

Hearing Lu Fang's reminder, everyone reacted at this time, now is not the time to discuss the principle of grenades, they have to hurry to His Majesty's side.
