But no one dared to respond.
"Say, who is it?"
I don't know who whispered, "Your Majesty, you ordered it."
Hearing this, Li Yi fell completely silent. It was the predecessor of this body who did it again, and he took the blame for him in vain.
"Oh, it turns out I ordered it, I forgot."
Li Yi looked at the "work of art" in his hand. "It does look good, but I don't know how powerful it is?"
How about giving it a try?
He immediately picked a place with a fire gun. After five minutes of operation, with a bang, a projectile was embedded in the trunk of an oak tree in the distance.
"Don't tell me, this thing is really powerful. Unfortunately, it reloads too slowly. It would be great if it could fire continuously."
Li Yi looked regretful and stroked the barrel of the fire gun with a look of helplessness. It was powerful enough, but the filling was too cumbersome.
Suppose you are on the battlefield, facing endless enemy cavalry charging towards you. After firing one shot, before you can reload the next shot, the enemy cavalry's saber has already chopped off your head.
"Your Majesty, do you want to fire another shot?"
Seeing that Li Yi was having fun, Cao Qingyan was also happy and handed over another bullet.
Li Yi shook his head. It was enough to play with this piece of shit once. It was better to use his own 59 modification, with burst fire, short burst fire, and rapid fire.
It's a pity that I may never see him again in this life.
"Forget it, go and invite Mr. Wang here. I have something to discuss with them."
When Cao Qingyan heard this, he was stunned on the spot. Did I hear it correctly? Your Majesty wants to invite these lowly craftsmen over and discuss it?
Your Majesty's actions are becoming more and more unpredictable.
Getting more and more baffling?
After a while, Old Man Wang was "invited" over. Although he and Li Yi were once considered "inmates," since he learned Li Yi's true identity, he felt even more uneasy.
"Greetings... greetings to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
In the Gale Dynasty, the status of craftsmen was extremely low, inferior to that of merchants. Many craftsmen were even slaves and did not even have basic human rights.
Because of this, how could they have imagined that they would be summoned by today's emperor in this life?
Big beads of sweat flowed down Old Man Wang's forehead, his teeth were chattering, he was sweating profusely, and he was so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Get up, you and I don't need so many gifts."
Li Yi was not reserved, and went straight to the point, scribbling on the paper, and said, "Come, come and see, could you have caused the firecrackers I drew?"
In fact, he has always had this bold idea in his mind.
Fire blunderbuss are powerful, cumbersome to refill, and do more harm than good. On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly. How can we delay the fighter opportunity because of such a thing?
Then something needs to be changed.
If it could be directly transformed into a next-generation fire gun, dealing with a group of thieves would be like squeezing an ant to death.
But he only had a memory of the blueprint, but he couldn't make the specific parts of the gun.
At this time, Old Man Wang held the paper and nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I have been making armor and fire guns all my life, but this is the first time I have seen such a strange fire gun."
"However, this fire gun is not even a little bit stronger in terms of power, accuracy, and reloading speed."
"Your Majesty, where did such ingenious treasures come from?"
At this moment, Old Man Wang was completely conquered by Li Yi's pictures and was amazed again and again.
Then, he showed his unparalleled skills, drawing on the ground with his fingers, and began to calculate the drawings on the spot.
Li Yi looked at Old Man Wang with a smile. This time he placed all his bets on the bomb.
If he loses, he returns to the pre-liberation period overnight. If he wins, he further takes over the military and political power of Dongshan Province. He can advance to attack and retreat to defend.
Men have no resistance to firearms and other things. Plus, as a soldier, how can you not understand these things.
Over time, he began to study these things, and unexpectedly he actually used them.
It seems that there is no useless work in this world. It is enough to use it once at a critical moment.
Of course, he didn't foolishly draw the drawings of the Aka series of firearms. Of course, it would be useless to draw them. The level of craftsmanship at this period could not be achieved.
He chose the famous rifle!
A big jump in the history of firecrackers.
Compared with the Gale Dynasty's fire blunderbuss, the rifle has made a qualitative leap in both reloading speed and accuracy.
The combination of iron pills and gunpowder makes filling less cumbersome.
There are three more spiral riflings in the gun barrel, which makes the iron shot and the gun barrel fit more tightly.
Regardless of these few advantages, on the battlefield, you can easily defeat everything.
"Your Majesty, give me some time. I will go back and discuss this with some old brothers."
Old Man Wang put away the drawings, his eyes full of confidence. Your Majesty's drawings are very detailed, much better than the drawings given by those guys in the Ministry of War.
Moreover, the appearance requirements are not high, and there is no need to inlay gemstones and gold, nor to carve exquisite landscape paintings on the barrel.
Even after hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but confirm: "Can you really make this new fire gun?"
"Your Majesty, yes." Old Man Wang nodded firmly.
"good!"
Li Yi looked happy and stood up suddenly, "How long will it take for the energy to be produced?"
Old Man Wang thought for a while, "One month."
Li Yi shook his head, "No, it's too slow. I'm in a hurry."
"That's half a month!"
"No, I will give you 2,000 fire blunderbuss in three days, and 20,000 new fire blunderbuss in one month."
Old Man Wang is completely helpless. There are just a few people in the Supervision Office working day and night, but they can't do it?
Just listen to Li Yi slowly say: "Those old-fashioned fire guns from the past just need to be improved. The barrels can be used universally. They just need to be carved with this kind of line."
"In addition, I will mobilize the capital camp. The soldiers of the Forbidden Army will come to help you, and the craftsmen of the entire capital will all obey your command. I don't want anything else, but fast, fast to ensure quality and quantity!"
"Okay, if you risk your life, I will definitely finish it." Old Man Wang also made up his mind. Since today's people value him so much, what if he sacrifices his life?
Li Yi was overjoyed and said immediately: "I will be rewarded for my merits and punished for my mistakes."
After saying that, he raised his eyes and glanced at the head of the Supervision Office, and immediately said to Old Man Wang: "From now on, you will be the head of the Supervision Office. You have the final say here. I will send an internal machine supervisor to guard this place. No one is allowed to enter." .”
"Ah, this... I can't read a word, how can I be an official?" Old Man Wang refused again and again.
Li Yi didn't allow him to refuse, "I said you are, so you are."
At this time, the former head of the Supervisory Office poked his head out with an innocent face, "Your Majesty, the old Wangtou has become the head of the Supervisory Office, what about the younger one?"
Li Yi glanced at Old Man Wang, "What do you think?"
After all, Old Man Wang was just a poor man with a simple heart. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, the head of our supervision office has a good nature and takes good care of us. Why not let him stay in his post? I will only be responsible for organizational work."
Li Yi then thought about it, this was a solution, but the superintendent should also be given a beating on the head.
"You heard it. This is the opportunity given to you by Old Man Wang. Otherwise, you would have gotten out of the Supervision Office now. Please cooperate with Old Man Wang well from now on. If I know that you dare to violate the law, your life will be in danger!"
The head of the Supervisory Office was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly and swore to the sky that he would cooperate with Old Man Wang well in the future.
Li Yi looked around and his eyes fell on the frightened ordinary craftsmen in the distance. These simple craftsmen had been lying in front of the stove all their lives and had only heard of the emperor. Today, they were lucky enough to see the real one. They were all excited, scared and uneasy. On the face.
The worker is the foundation!
Li Yi is a time traveler from later generations. Not only does he not discriminate against craftsmen, but he respects them from the bottom of his heart. If the country wants to be strong and prosperous, it cannot develop without these craftsmen.
If this continues, that won't work. How can we improve the treatment of these craftsmen?
These ordinary people don't care how much your court taxes or how many battles you win. What they want is firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
"If you can make a new fire gun with high quality and quantity, I guarantee that each of you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!"
What?
One hundred taels of gold?
What is this concept?
As soon as these words came out, not only these craftsmen were frightened, but even Cao Qingyan was so frightened that his heart trembled.
Although he couldn't understand the things on the drawing, he knew what a hundred taels of gold meant?
A large house with three entrances and three exits on Jingshiqian Street only costs thirty taels of gold.
This means that all the craftsmen present have three more large houses each.
In this case, do these craftsmen dare not work hard?
"I thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
All these craftsmen were trembling with excitement and fell to their knees in a hurry.
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!
What's more, you don't have to die.
After you finish this job, you can lie down for the rest of your life.
Li Yi waved his hand and asked them to start making new fire guns now.
Seeing the Supervisory Office start to take action in full swing, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With the explosive gun, I finally have the confidence.
Li Yi explained some more precautions, and the sky gradually became brighter.
At the same time, a group of uninvited guests had appeared outside the palace and headed straight for the palace.
