The ministers went to work with their own thoughts, and Liu Zhen and Wu Lin, the secretary of the military department, were left by Zhu Yuanzhang.

At present, the Ming Dynasty was established at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and many things were managed in a large way, and there was no Ordnance Bureau, so it would take nine years to set up.

Not to mention the saddle bridle bureau of the armor factory, which only existed in the second year of Xuande, more than a hundred years later.

Zhu Yuanzhang took out a stack of paper and handed it to the two: "There is a manufacturing method for making flintlock pistol equipment, a method for manufacturing flintlock pistols, and a manufacturing method for ammunition, and the gunpowder we have been using is not good enough." ”

The two of them got their hands on it, and they were not in a hurry to leave, so they looked here, and the more they looked, the more fascinated they became, and there was a picture on it.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the two of them, corrected the question book by himself, and was in a happy mood, the prince was about to get married, and this sent good firearms.

Although it is more difficult to build than a firecracker, it is easy to use, with a long range and fast reloading speed.

"Your Majesty, since you have this flintlock pistol, should the production of the musket be stopped?"

Wu Lin finished reading it, but he didn't remember it, anyway, he knew that it could be made, and now the problem is how to arrange the firecracker.

Zhu Yuanzhang finished approving a question book and raised his head: "Is there a good or bad one?" The firebolt consumes too much copper. ”

"Your Majesty, after building the flintlock pistol, should you replace the firebolt and melt the firebolt?" Liu Zhen also has problems.

"Hmm...... Let's see if the guns can be given to other armies. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant, so he finally made the copper into a fire gun, and then melted it back, which was lost.

The musket is not as good as the flintlock pistol, but it is still a good weapon, the kind that can kill people.

He waved down: "you." ”

When the two of them left, they had to find someone to learn how to make when they went back, and they couldn't delay.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little upset when he thought of the fire gun, and after taking a sip of tea, he regained his strength and continued to criticize the question book.

When he finished approving it, it was almost dusk, he yawned, thought about it, and went to Kunning Palace for dinner.

The prince was also there, he was a little nervous, and seeing that he was about to get married, he came to talk to his mother.

"Biao'er, how did the people from Xiaqiu Village arrange it at night?" No matter how tired Zhu Yuanzhang is, he has to consider the people in Xiaqiu Village.

"This year, there are old and dead cattle that have been harvested, and they plan to send them beef, and they will make it themselves in Fuhua Building.

Fuhualou didn't charge them money for room and board, and they taught Fuhualou how to bake cakes and bread, as well as how to reheat roast duck.

There is craftsmanship that is popular everywhere, and the shopkeeper of the key Fuhua Building knows the goods, and the oven can bake a lot of things. ”

Zhu Biao talked about the things that Zhou Zong came back to report, including where he went to play today and what he ate.

There was a palace maid who rubbed Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulders and legs, and when he heard what the eldest said, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a lot less tired.

He thought for a moment and said, "When you ask Zhou Zong to send beef, ask if the fire gun we have now in Daming should be melted?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to refer to the method of the master and tell the villagers that they would naturally be able to send letters when the villagers returned.

Zhu Biao immediately found a pen and paper to write, and sent a eunuch to send him out, and he waited here for dinner.

Zhou Zong received an order to rush to Fuhua Building with fifty catties of beef.

The shopkeeper of Fuhua Building is busy, the staple food of Fuhua Building today is cake, and the second floor in front is full, and there are still people queuing.

It began to be sold at noon, and in the evening there were more people who knew about it, so they all came to try it, some people packed it and brought it back, and some people ate other dishes in the restaurant and ate cake by the way.

The people of Xiaqiu Village can only stay in their own courtyard to eat, everyone burns their feet first, and then thinks about what to eat, eat in one courtyard, lively.

Zhou Zong brought beef and a bunch of side dishes, which the village taught to the palace, and they could be used for any meal.

It's okay to even eat staple foods such as steamed buns and rice directly with side dishes.

"Zhu Lichang, fifty catties of beef and some seasonings commonly used in the village, you can watch and cook.

Another thing, you imitate the wrong thing is better than the firecracker, what should the firecracker do? ”

Zhou Zong completed the task first, the flintlock pistol you made blindly is too powerful.

Li Chang's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "This meat, I have to ask everyone what they want to do, about the fire gun, you wait for me." ”

said that he went into his room in the courtyard, and after a while, he took out two pieces of paper: "Zhou Sheren, give this to the prince, there is a good way to talk about the fire gun." ”

"Zhu Lichang, can you seal the envelope with fire paint?"

Zhou Zong didn't answer, what are you kidding? I don't want to know, it's not good to know more.

The chief waved his hand: "No, it's simple, I'll ask them what they eat." ”

He stuffed the paper and turned to find Hanhan, who was in the courtyard of the village elder to show the village elder's physical condition.

Today I went out for a long time, the sun was poisonous and hot, and the village elders went to Nanjing for the first time, and they were afraid that something would go wrong under the excitement.

Zhou Zong took the paper and thought about it, he would be suspected anyway, take a look! What exactly is it.

There are drawings on paper, there are manufacturing methods and usage.

After reading it, he was about to go back to report, but the chief hurriedly came: "Great, Zhou Sheren didn't leave, we want astragalus and atractylodes, let's come first half a catty!" ”

"Someone is sick?" Zhou Zong was stunned.

"No, it's not the same when you're sick, you just took the beef, and we'll cook a dish to eat." The lieutenant shook his head.

"Okay, I'll go back first, you're cooking other dishes!" Zhou Zong picked up the paper and ran away.

Zhou Zong couldn't enter Kunning Palace, he had to find someone from the Prince's Mansion to report the letter, send the letter over, and tell him to get the medicine there.

The eunuch of the Prince's Mansion ran to Kunning Palace and handed over the paper: "Long live Lord, medicine, I want medicine over there, half a catty of astragalus and atractylodes." ”

"But someone is sick?" Zhu Yuanzhang was nervous, people came to watch the ceremony, what happened if he died here?

"No, I said it was for cooking." The eunuch shook his head.

"Go and arrange, alas!" Zhu Yuanzhang put his mind at ease, picked up two pieces of paper and looked at them, and was stunned when he saw them.

There are three things on the two pieces of paper, one is a cap on the fire gun, and a fire door cover, which can prevent the place from getting wet.

The other is the Trojan Horse, a piece of wood, which is the most important thing, and increases the range of the firebolt.

The third is the arrow for firing, not only to hit the beads, but also to put the arrows in and launch them, and then use a bunch of small beads to fill in the gap left after the arrows.

After firing like this, the beads and arrows are sprayed out together, and the arrows can fly out two or three hundred paces, and the effective distance is not clear, depending on what part of the enemy is hit, whether there is armor, etc.

"The master is in the ranks?" Zhu Yuanzhang gave the paper to his son, and he thought of the eunuch who came in just now to ask for medicine.

Knowing that this is called food supplement, there are old people in the village, and after a day of shopping, it is estimated that it is uncomfortable.

It means that someone in the team must be able to read, otherwise who would dare to use drugs blindly? In addition, as soon as I asked, the other party gave a solution.

That's not right, I don't have that much time to draw, it's clearly written and drawn in advance.

It is estimated that when making the flintlock pistol, the situation of the existing firecracker has been taken into account.

"When you go to war, don't you anticipate the enemy? Ah! Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what mood he was in.

Zhu Biao read it quickly and handed it to his mother, he didn't know what to say for a while.
