The cosmetics brought back from the Red Marquis Kingdom made the women in the palace like it very much.

They think that these cosmetics work very well, and they do make the women in the palace much more beautiful.

They feel that the cosmetics they used before are not as good as those they brought back from Honghouguo, and they hope to be able to use new cosmetics every day.

I just heard Mrs. Wang say that Princess Pingyang wore a small and delicate watch, which improved Princess Pingyang's noble temperament a few points.

Feeling that people are also a little more beautiful, they asked Mrs. Wang to talk to Liu Che.

They also guessed that Liu Zhang asked the craftsmen of Honghou to make it, and Mrs. Wang was very favored in the past two years.

Let Mrs. Wang tell Liu Che that it is most appropriate, and Liu Che asked Liu Zhang if he had any extra watches?

Liu Zhang did bring some watches, but he did not bring them into the palace.

The things he brought were temporarily placed in Princess Pingyang's Mansion, where he and Liu Zhengchen lived temporarily.

They rode over from the Red Marquis and didn't bring much with them.

After the banquet, Liu Che sent someone to go to Princess Pingyang's mansion with Liu Zhang to get the watch.

One piece was intended to be given to the queen, and one was given to Liu Che.

The drawings for making the watch were also intended to be given to Liu Che, and Liu Zhang did not rely on these drawings to make money.

After lunch, Gongsun Du took Liu Zhang to the Shangfang Office located in the southwest of Chang'an City.

The Shang Fang Department was the largest production workshop in the Han Dynasty, and each county had a subordinate institution of the Shang Fang Bureau.

The Shang Fang Department gathered skilled craftsmen from all over the Han Dynasty, and it also has the best resources.

There were Han guards in armor around the Shang Fang Office, and Liu Zhang met Li Kang here.

He is the chief of security of the Shang Fang Agency, and many of the weapons are made from here.

The Shang Fang Department also made household utensils for the court, and the Shang Fang Office looked like a busy scene.

"You've also come to count above, and there's something you don't understand. May you ask me, I've been here for a while. ”

As long as it doesn't involve absolute secrecy, Li Dang will tell Liu Zhang.

He also received an edict from Liu Che to assist Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang would stay at the Shang Fang Office for a few months, helping the craftsmen improve their weapons.

Gongsun Du and Li Dang took Liu Zhang to see the manufacturing process of the gun first, and the gun was disassembled into parts.

But it was not built with the same quality as the dismantled gun, and some technical problems with the hot air balloon stumped the craftsmen.

Craftsmen made huge wooden baskets that were made in two layers.

It's just that you can't get the hot air balloon into the air, although you got the blueprints.

The craftsmen felt a bit of pressure and didn't know who came up with it.

They arrive at a workshop where several craftsmen are discussing how to make firearms.

They used a lot of metals, which were forged in a certain proportion.

After it was manufactured, the experimental effect was not satisfactory.

The utensils they make have to be engraved with their own names, and only if they meet the standards of use.

can be manufactured on a large scale, such as weapons, and the Han Dynasty also implemented the name system of material workers.

They came to the craftsman and listened, when they saw Liu Zhang and the others coming.

They stopped the discussion, and they saw a stranger coming.

This is not an ordinary person who can come, and the stranger in front of him must have been sent by the emperor.

"This is the Red Marquis, and in the next few months, he will help you transform your weapons."

Li Dare introduced Liu Zhang to the crowd, and these craftsmen have recently complained.

It's because the newly brought back weapons are too difficult to make, and Gongsun Du will ask about the progress of weapon manufacturing every once in a while.

When will it be available on a large scale? These craftsmen are conscientious and responsible.

They also don't want inferior weapons to be used, and they can't afford harsh punishments.

"In my opinion, it's okay not to build a weapon like this. It's not something that ordinary people can make, and even if I come, there's nothing I can do. ”

Liu Zhang walked over to the disassembled gun parts, and there was a complete gun on the table.

Another handful was disassembled into parts for them to study.

There were craftsmen who were burning furnaces, smelting metal, and they were hammering some metal parts.

"These guns were given by God, even if they could be made. It's not as powerful as the original, so I don't think there's any need to waste time on it. ”

Liu Zhang still helped them improve the cold weapon, don't think about guns and the like.

"We can improve the power and range of our crossbows and increase them even more with less difficulty."

Liu Zhang looked at the tools in the workshop, which could not make modern guns.

If you want to make weapons such as firearms, you can, Liu Zhang thinks it is better to improve cold weapons.

He also did this selfishly, just to maintain his absolute advantage.

Just don't want the imperial court to have powerful guns, Liu Zhang wants to hide a hand.

"I'm telling the truth, continue to work on such weapons. It will only waste more time and materials, and it will not necessarily be effective. ”

Liu Zhang said this, which made the craftsmen present agree very much, and they didn't want to continue to make such weapons.

This sentence makes it better for Liu Zhang to say it, they don't have to take responsibility.

"Against a powerful enemy, consider improving the range of the bow and crossbow. Improving the lethality can also increase the protection of the armor even higher. ”

For example, the Song Dynasty was very famous for its steps. There are also mounted cavalry.

"During this time, please cooperate with me. I brought some drawings. You make it according to the drawings. ”

Liu Zhang took out the pre-drawn pattern from his sleeve and let everyone present take a look.

It would not be difficult for them to make a false spell, and Liu Zhang would propose to Liu Che to stop researching and making guns.

Li Dang took the drawing and looked at it first, and the person on the drawing was wearing armor to protect his whole body.

After all, Jigao is a military general, and when he looks at the armor on the drawings, he feels that the protection is very good.

"It's infantry heavy armor with a very high level of protection. The disadvantage is that it affects the movement speed, and all the weapons of the Huns deal very little damage. ”

Another drawing shows that both men and horses wear armor, which also acts as a good protection for the horses.

"This drawing is an equipped cavalry, and the war horse can also be well protected. The disadvantage is also that mobility is limited and can cooperate with light cavalry. ”

The heavy cavalry charged frontally, and the light cavalry outflanked the enemy's rear in a roundabout way.

Liu Zhang explained the advantages and disadvantages of mounted cavalry, and then you can consider making some.

Liu Zhang can provide technology for everyone, and the materials are ready-made.

"This belongs to the heavy cavalry, if you fight against the Huns and charge head-on. The light cavalry was responsible for outflanking and chasing the fleeing enemy. ”

The horses required for mounted cavalry are very demanding, and there are not many war horses with excellent endurance in the Han army.

These two types of armor are much easier to make than to make guns, and Liu Zhang plans to make repeaters during this time.

Repeaters already existed during the Warring States period, but the range was not far.

There is still room for improvement in the crossbow, and he is thinking that there will not be many idle days in the future.

He will hold an official position in the future, and he may get together less with his family in the future.

The craftsmen of the Shang Fang Department are also responsible for making false spells, and they are very skilled in making them.

Liu Zhang just asked them to improve the armor spell and make a set for experimentation first.

It takes more than three months to make a pair of armor quickly, and more than half a year when it is slow.

If you have enough manpower, you can make it for twelve hours a day.

The efficiency of making different parts of the false spell is indeed much faster.

The arsenals of the Han Dynasty counties already had a large amount of armor in stock, so there was no need to make armor quickly and in large quantities.

Li Dang showed the drawings to the craftsmen and asked them to try to make a pair of armor for protective experiments.

"Later, you'll take me to see the bow and crossbow making workshop and see what needs to be improved."

Liu Zhang offered to go to the bow and crossbow manufacturing workshop to see how they made bows and crossbows?

Li Dang and Gongsun Du took him to the bow and crossbow making workshop, and his request could be met.

This is also explained by Liu Che, who is the technical adviser of the Shang Fang Agency.

Wait for Liu Zhang's envoy to come back, and continue to stay in the Shang Fang Department.

Let him improve all his weapons and let him use his talents.

They first went to the bow and arrow workshop, where some artisans were making arrows and another was making parts for bows and arrows.

They had a clear division of labor, and they saw a stranger coming.

They are still a little vigilant, and it is not easy for people to come to the Shang Fang Agency.

The craftsmen knew very well that there were heavy guards around the Shang Fang Department, and it was extremely difficult to infiltrate.

Liu Zhang picked up an arrow and looked at it carefully, the shaft of the arrow was made of birch.

It is also possible to use willow, and the material of the arrow shaft can be improved.

He looked at the arrows again, and there were many shapes of them

Liu Zhang was holding a three-edged arrow in his hand, which looked a bit like a bullet.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, who have experimented many times.

Understand the reduction of air resistance and increase the range and power of arrows.

Inflicting considerable damage on the enemy, the craftsmen watched him pick up an arrow shaft.

I don't know how capable he is, but they heard that a technical advisor will come in recently.

Seeing that Liu Zhang is very young, he will not be the technical advisor who came to guide them.

Most of the craftsmen here were more than ten years older than him, or even twenty years old, and they did not believe that Liu Zhang's abilities were better than them.
