"Father, do you think they will take this step?" I couldn't help asking. The old man smiled faintly and took a sip of tea: "Erlang, you have told my father that a businessman will take risks if he has 50% profit, and a 100% profit, he will dare to trample on all laws in the world. If he has 300% profit, he will dare to raid the family and destroy the family. Now, His Majesty's series of actions are all to prevent those families from profiting from the country.

, And the benefits of the country are far more than the 300% benefit. Since this is the case, there will inevitably be some people who like to take risks among them. But what kind of person is Your Majesty? Those people make such actions just to make it easier for Your Majesty to explain to the people of the world. Another thing is that you must not be careless. Don’t think that you have been in the army. Just do that reckless behavior. A few people around you can follow you so that your father and your mother can feel more at ease..."

"My father taught me that the children underestimated them." After hearing the old man's explanation, I couldn't help but feel speechless. Yes, this situation has a lot to do with me now. If I hadn't quietly instigated Uncle Li and Li Zhi to change this and that, it would not have caused the consequences today. It can be said that I have advanced this historical energy many years in advance and concentrated it until it explodes now.

But danger is dangerous, and the work that should be done must be done. The Military Academy continues to wander around. As for the third child, these days, he is like a young man who has taken the 10-year-old pills, and he is always in the top three. This makes the new general Niu Jinda highly praised it.

/}*_!z1r7~(`

Sitting in General Niu's office. Listening to General Niu's bragging, there was no way. As the main leader of the academy, we naturally had to establish good relations and unite and work together. If not, I would not want to interact with this veteran who was close to changing posts with my father-in-law Cheng's family.

"Your young man is also amazing, haha. I really didn't expect that the family of Prime Minister Shuxiang actually produced two famous generals." Niu Jinda, the veteran, had a strange beard, not like Uncle Cheng, with a beard all over his face. It was almost growing under his eyelids. General Niu's beard was forked, and others had three wisps of beards. When they grew on his face, they were turned into four wisps.

The middle beard under his chin seemed to be unable to grow, so he had to divide his troops from both sides. Especially when he smiled, the four short beards that looked like a board-painted make people feel strange.

"The general's words are ashamed of his nephew. Jun just borrowed the power of His Majesty's dragon and the kindness of his father. He is just a gangster in the army. As for my younger brother, he is very naughty. I hope the general will supervise more. If that kid makes a mistake, he will be punished strictly to soothe his ambition."

"Haha, don't be humble. You Fang family has three heroes, who doesn't know about us in Chang'an? Who doesn't know? Your elder brother is now ranked third. Jiangnan Road Observer, has achieved great success every year, and the people in Jiangnan all claim to be good. This is obvious to all in the world. As for you..." Uncle Niu smiled and continued: "I won the battlefield before I was young. I will win every battle. Liaodong copied the capital of Goryeo Ju and made every effort to attack the Japanese island. Now I am afraid that it will be less than twenty-five, so I will be named a marquis.

And your third brothers actually made a marriage with Your Majesty’s most precious Princess Jinyang, which is amazing. Many families have let Your Majesty refuse. Alas... If those evil beasts in my family have the ability of your brothers in the Fang family, I, as a father, can always smile and close my eyes." Uncle Niu also closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the feeling of closing his eyes with happiness.

If I don't make a statement, I'm afraid Uncle Niu won't know what to say in a while. "General, my nephew is not an unreasonable person, but the problem is Brother Boheng..." "That rebellious son has never liked literary affairs since he was a child. He plays fists all day long. I don't know how many sticks I have discounted, so I won't change at all." Uncle Niu put on a murderous face and started to complain. When he turned to look at me, his expression turned soft: "Nephew, you're at least for my sake, so I'm making my rebellious son..." Uncle Niu was embarrassed to let me go through the back door openly, so he had to keep blinking.

After thinking about it, Uncle Niu is already dead now, and it is really unreasonable to push the committee down. Besides, will there be special recruitment in future generations? Forget it, let’s sell personal favors. “What the general says? Isn’t my nephew a kind of person? General? Otherwise, let Brother Boheng first enter the command department for further studies in the name of further studies. The term is one year. If you can keep up, then everyone else has nothing to say. If Brother Boheng has difficulties at that time, I will find a way to transfer Brother Boheng to the Artillery Department. I wonder what the general wants?”

"Haha, okay! I'm just waiting for your nephew's words. In this way, I've given an explanation so that the dead boy would make me feel restless all day and night." Uncle Niu finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at me. Well, Uncle Niu is still reasonable. If this matter falls on Uncle Cheng, I'll sit in front of me without saying a word, and then pull half a dozen youthful versions of Uncle Cheng out and slip around. If I follow it, I won't follow it. The consequences are unimaginable.

After saying goodbye to this person, I remembered another major event and rushed to the Wuhan Institute of Technology and summoned a group of artillery experts to the design room. This is a place dedicated to these artillery experts to conduct firearm research and improvement. It is full of various sketches. What I brought to these are the latest version of the sketches.

"This is a new type of firearm, and its principle is very simple. Just like the cannons used in our Tang Dynasty, it is just a lot smaller, so small that one person can use. In addition, the bullets they use do not need to be classified like shells, but only one type is a solid cone bullet..." I stood in front of them, followed the drawings spread on the table, and kept explaining to them one by one on the blackboard on the wall, according to the super-small cannons on the drawings I drew.

Key points, of course, this thing is only a test item at present. According to my idea, I hope to see how these skilled craftsmen of the Tang Empire can reduce the proportion of the cannons weighing thousands of pounds. The cannons of the Tang Dynasty are installed in the rear, pushing the shells into the shells, pressing the medicine bag in, closing the side cover and then firing, and then using a strip to clean the cannon barrel. Although the procedure for cleaning the cannon barrels still exists, it is half a time shorter than before.

Because the artillery fired medicine of the Tang Empire has been loaded into a quantitative medicine package, and it does not need to be poured into gunpowder and re-compressed like the artillery of another time. After reducing the procedure, the firing time of the torch of the Tang Empire is naturally greatly shortened. Similarly, after reducing the proportion to a musket, it can also be fired in this way. Although it is not as good as the rear-loading guns that use detonators to fire, it is much faster than the flintlock guns and flintlock guns in later generations.

"...You can try out more samples. Of course, the smaller the lighter the better. It's better to be small enough to be fired with one hand. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't meet my requirements. Anyway, you just work hard with this point as your goal." I kept gesturing in front of the blackboard. All the craftsmen were writing and drawing on the notebook they carried with them with pens, as if they hoped to record my ideas.

Now the craftsmen of the Firearms Bureau of the Wushu Research Institute of the Tang Dynasty are no longer as before. They have all cultures and know how to use words to record their experiences, which is not only to guide the new craftsmen faster, but also retain rich information for the development of the military industry of the Tang Dynasty.

I have been determined to cast muskets for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity or ability. When the Firearms Bureau was first established, it was difficult to achieve a barrel with a thickness of a thumb. Even a barrel with a heavy pound of a thousand pounds was difficult to achieve a complete caliber. After years of process improvement, I finally achieved some success. Now, the error of the front and rear caliber of a barrel will not exceed two millimeters.

It can be imagined that the skills and improvements of the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty were so powerful. It was precisely because they had reached such a level of technology that I dared to put the production of muskets on the agenda. Moreover, I can also discuss and study this pattern with Liushuang and demonstrate the feasibility of it. After explaining all the work, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The more firearms in the Tang Dynasty, the greater the use, and the Chinese nation, which is mainly agricultural civilization, is

The less likely it is to be invaded by ethnic minorities. You should know that with the emergence of special firearm troops and artillery, the status of cavalry will definitely gradually decline. Several major battles in the Tang Empire over the years have proved this. Under the intensive attacks of long-range, medium-range and short-range firearms such as artillery, mortars, grenades, mines, etc., not to mention riding a horse, even if you have the ability to ride a rhino, it will turn into a pile of soft and crispy minced meat under the huge lethality of gunpowder weapons.

The main equipment targets of the Tang Dynasty's current firearms are the Sixteen Guards of Chang'an and border defense forces. The frequent use of firearms has made the Tang Empire subconscious of a problem. As long as there is enough distance, the power and range of firearms are definitely not something that any cold weapon can fight against. Gunpowder weapon technology has reached its climax at present, thus making the firearms become an important combat readiness weapon in the Tang Empire, which is much stricter than the control of the same forbidden steel crossbows.

Therefore, the Tang Military Group, headed by His Majesty Uncle Li, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, attaches great importance to the Artillery Department of the Tang Military Academy, and the theory of collaborative combat infringements has become a compulsory course for students in the Command Academy.

As for Li Zhi, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, under my indoctrination and education, the industry has regarded the development of firearms as an important guarantee for the Tang Empire to safeguard the reunification of the motherland and maintain the peaceful life of the Chinese nation. In addition, the awareness of sea power has formed a concept in his mind, that is, both the land and the sea are full of opportunities, but at the same time are full of countless crises.

The stalls in Weinan County are getting bigger and bigger. Due to the marble, cement, coal and other materials produced, as well as the beautiful scenery of Weinan in newspapers, such as paintings of landscapes, and the promotion of the health effects of Weinan hot springs to the people of Chang'an, the number of long-term residents in Weinan County has increased. Vendors and pawns are coming in a row, and a small county town that originally seemed quiet seemed prosperous. In addition, Weinan vigorously develops road traffic, so that every road in Weinan County can see the coming and going of goods and the people.

Moreover, the increase in tax revenue has enabled us to have more funds to support various industries in Weinan County. At present, the proportion of commercial tax has increased again. The total revenue of commercial tax is more than 79,000 guan, property tax is nearly 20,000 guan, and the agricultural tax is only more than 25,000 guan, because by the fall of last year, all land and land had been completely inspected. In addition, Weinan County has prohibited the deforestation and reclaiming of new fields in this year, so the agricultural tax will naturally not increase, and it is still the same as last year, without increasing or decreasing.)

But overall, Weinan's annual tax revenue has exceeded the annual tax revenue of most prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty. Various newspapers and magazines in the Tang Dynasty promote the typical Weinan every day. It is believed that Weinan's official and gentry paid food together and paid taxes according to land and good fortune is the only way for the reform of the social tax system. It is the best example of the Tang Empire's strengthening national strength, taking it from the people, and using it for the people. Every day, many people are fighting in newspapers. If someone supports it, there will inevitably be people who oppose it. But the problem is that the voices of opposition are much weaker, and they appear so pale and powerless, and they always use the ancestor system. After thousands of years of China, it is all about the old tune. In just a few days, the spits of the passionate young people in the Tang Dynasty were buried under the mud of history.
