Chapter 67: I'm talking about mortars
Taining City, a large mansion.
As the soil emperor of Taining City, it can really be said that most of the entire Taining City is the property of the Zhao family.
What Lu Yuan wanted, the old housekeeper ordered, it could be done in the blink of an eye.
Bang.
A gunshot rang out.
The old butler stood in place, looking at the flintlock pistol in his hand with a stunned face.
The power of this thing was seen by the old butler that night.
However, at that time, Lu Yuan put it away after using it, and the old housekeeper didn't look at it carefully.
Now that I have my hands on it, I have to sigh at the power of this thing.
This is more powerful than the three-eyed firearms in the hands of officers and soldiers!
Fifty meters away, a single shot directly pierced a hanging dead pig.
"Young nephew, you thing...... It's really amazing, you did it yourself? ”
The old butler looked at the flintlock pistol in his hand with a look of amazement.
Lu Yuan was circling around a lathe at this time, holding paper in one hand and charcoal in the other.
He didn't look up at the old butler, but said:
"How's that, awesome?
What do you think of this kind of thing against Xingzi? ”
The old butler looked at the flintlock pistol in his hand, pondered for a while, and then gave his own evaluation:
"If it's an ordinary line, even if it doesn't have to cooperate with the practitioner's method, it will definitely make its soul fly away.
If it is a more powerful line, then soak the projectile in black dog blood, glutinous rice water, or egg and chicken blood in advance.
It must have worked wonders too, after all, this thing is so fast, Xingzi must not be able to react.
But ......"
Speaking of this, the old housekeeper paused, retreated from the surrounding nursing homes, and then whispered:
"If you rely on it to deal with those more than 200 years, I'm afraid it won't work.
As far as I know, Xilingzi's line seems to be a two-hundred-year-old white zombie, a real white zombie, and it is already invulnerable to cultivation.
It's not the same thing as the Liu family.
Although the young nephew's is powerful, I don't know what it is like to hit it.
If it is useless, it will anger that business, and I am afraid that no one will be able to come out alive. ”
This thing looks pretty powerful.
But after all, no one has tested it before, so what if it doesn't work?
When the time comes, lead dozens of people to go, in case it doesn't work, the price is too great!
After the old housekeeper's words were finished, Lu Yuan raised his head slightly, looked at the old housekeeper and said with some amusement:
"How do you know I'm going to Xilingzi?"
The old butler tried his best to make his expressionless face smile and said:
"It's not hard to guess."
Lu Yuan nodded, and then said:
"Xilingzi is very important to Aunt Zhao, if it can't be solved, Aunt Zhao will have to lose a lot of money next year."
The old butler was silent for a while, and then said:
"It's not just a matter of money, I'm afraid the entire Xilingzi will also be taken back by the imperial court."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"So serious?"
The old butler nodded slightly and said:
"The war in the north is almost in the final stage.
Some of the troops who had been drafted from various places had already returned to their original stations.
At present, the imperial court's control over the local area is getting stronger day by day, and the manpower of the government is increasing day by day.
Before, there was no way, so a large mining area like this had to cooperate with the guild.
But now it's different, the imperial court wants to take back the spirit stone mine and mine it directly, but it can't rob it openly.
Xilingzi has an accident now, and it is difficult to guarantee that the imperial court will not take advantage of this attack next year to take Xilingzi back.
When the time comes, I will lose money and lose half of the spirit stone mine, madam...... But it's hard. ”
Lu Yuan nodded slightly.
This kind of thing is the general trend that Lu Yuan said before.
Sooner or later, this kind of spirit stone mine will be recovered by the imperial court, but it can be delayed for a year.
At the very least, it can't be said that this year's blood loss will be taken back.
Can't get by then?
"I'm afraid I can't find the Heavenly Master in the provincial city, right?"
Lu Yuan asked while looking at the lathe again.
And the old butler nodded and said:
"Presumably so, even the military masters of the provincial capital are here, and the heavenly masters of the provincial capital are naturally all transferred."
After all that's said.
The old housekeeper seemed to understand what Lu Yuan meant.
After looking at it, the flintlock pistol in his hand, after being silent for a few seconds, he said again:
"I really have to fight it.
I don't know what happened to Doushi Temple, but it would be good if it could be solved in a short time.
If it can't be solved in a short time, Madame will be in danger.
You can make as many of these things as you want, at least, sixty.
How long will it take you to build? ”
After the old housekeeper's words were finished, Lu Yuan looked at the old housekeeper with some amusement and said:
"Build what?"
The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said with a stunned face:
"Huh?
The young nephew didn't mean to hold this...... Signal fire...... Flintlock pistols, to deal with Xingzi? ”
Lu Yuan grinned, and then said:
"No, when did I say that I used this thing to deal with Xilingzi?
And, didn't you say it too, this thing is not insured.
I can't risk everyone's lives to test the power of this thing, can I? ”
When Lu Yuan said this, he gave the old housekeeper a question mark and said:
"Then the young nephew, you are ......"
Lu Yuan continued to bow his head and write:
"Cannon!"
Cannon?!
Hearing this, the old housekeeper couldn't help but gasp, and felt that his brain was starting to hurt.
After the old housekeeper stabilized for a few seconds, he looked at Lu Yuan and said helplessly:
"Young nephew, we have to mention it to you.
Although our dynasty, unlike other eras, is very tolerant of owning weapons in private.
But the cannon is the same thing as the armor.
was only found to have it privately, that is an intention to rebel!
It is a capital crime, and he will be exterminated by his family!
You are a reader, and you should know better than we do. ”
Of course, this Lu Yuan knows, and so does the Ming Dynasty in this history.
The Ming Dynasty was the dynasty with the most lenient jurisdiction over weapons.
Let's not talk about swords or anything, even crossbow arrows that are strictly forbidden by the common people in other dynasties.
The Ming Dynasty can be held by the common people at will.
Basically, in Daming, as long as you don't trim your armor, you'll be fine.
Even some local toast or something, they really made cannons, but in fact, there is nothing.
However, Lu Yuan didn't plan to build the red-clothed cannon here.
What can that thing do now?
A red-coated cannon costs thousands of pounds of iron, and it takes a month or two to pour such a red-coated cannon.
When the time comes, it will have to be a mess.
In particular, there is such a thing as a redcoat cannon, and one of them will not work.
It has to be pulled together by three or five doors to make it work!
When Lu Yuanzhen finishes out three or five red-clothed cannons, when will it be?
You can't even catch up with the hot.
Lu Yuan raised his head slightly, looked at the serious old butler and grinned:
"I didn't say I wanted to make a red-clad cannon."
Old butler: "???? ”
What's that?
"I'm talking about mortars!"
