Li Yi was so excited that he was shaking all over. He could hardly calm down. His hands were trembling, and he couldn't speak at all. "Quick, hurry up, bring it over and show it to me."
"No!" Lu Mu quickly ran to the warehouse of the Supervisory Office, took out a wooden box from inside, and held the wooden box in both hands.
Opening the wooden box, a new fire gun was lying inside. After wiping it clean, it was brought to Li Yi.
"Your Majesty, please take a look!"
This new fire gun is not much different from the previous fire gun in appearance, only the way of loading projectiles has changed.
It is no longer necessary to pour gunpowder from the shooting port of the gun, tamp it down, install the projectile, and then shoot.
Now the filling method has been changed to rear-loading. A hole is made in the tail of the gun, the projectiles and gunpowder are stuffed in, and then the trigger is pulled to complete the shooting.
As a result, the speed is greatly shortened. After this operation, even a novice can achieve a shooting speed of more than ten rounds per minute.
Its shooting efficiency can be said to be greatly improved.
Although it is still a single shot, its speed is not even a little faster than the previous front-loaded firecracker.
"Okay, not bad, this fire gun is well made!"
Li Yi also greatly admired this breech-loaded firegun. Although it was far inferior to the rapid-fire firearms of later generations, he knew very well that the evolution of front-loaded and rear-loaded guns had been used in the European continent for hundreds of years, and It only took me a few months.
I've made some progress in loading, but I don't know how powerful it is?
Talking is useless, practice is still needed.
Just do it!
He came to the school field with a new gun, loaded the projectiles, raised the gun, and fired. With the sound of a gunshot, the target in the distance fell.
"good!"
"The power is okay, just delay the target."
With a "bang" gunshot, the target in the distance fell to the ground again.
"Delay, delay, delay..."
When the gun was fired at a distance of 350 meters, the target did not move at all.
"Tsk, tsk, what a pity!"
"Although the new fire gun has a fast reloading speed, its range is not as good as the previous front-loaded fire gun."
Li Yi suddenly felt that it was a pity. If the range of this new type of firecracker was further enhanced, it would be an invincible weapon on the battlefield.
Imagine the scene of tens of thousands of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion armed with new-style firecrackers firing volleys, the bullets raining down like rain, airtight.
Not to mention cavalry, even chariots can be beaten into a hornet's nest. It is no longer a war, but a massacre of Chi Guoguo.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Lu Mu was surprised by Li Yi's proficiency in using fire guns, as if His Majesty had been playing with fire guns for many years before.
Li Yi nodded, unwilling to dampen Lu Mu's creative enthusiasm, but he still put forward his opinion, "The shooting speed is fast enough, but the range is still close. If the sealing of the rear loader can be solved, the range can definitely be improved..."
Lu Mu listened carefully, like a student, but the more he listened, the more terrifying he felt about Li Yi. He even doubted whether the current emperor was related to his master, otherwise he would be so knowledgeable about firearms.
"Your Majesty, I will take note of everything you said. As long as you give me some time, I can definitely solve this problem."
"Okay, when it's done, I will reward you with another minister of the Ministry of Industry." Li Yi is also like the bosses of later generations. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, he first draws a big pie. However, his pie is absolutely huge.
Lu Mu shook his head, "I, a disciple of the Mohist family, do not seek fame or fortune, I only seek to pass on the Mohist sect."
Li Yi smiled. This kid Lu Mu was definitely not as honest as he seemed. There was obviously something behind his words.
"You can call any of your fellow disciples who are willing to submit to the imperial court and serve the imperial court. As long as their character is good and their official rank is determined by you, I will give them the greatest opportunity to display their talents and let them realize their ambitions."
Lu Mu was immediately moved to tears, and he knelt down suddenly, "Your Majesty, I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of the disciples of the Mohist family. It has been really difficult for me, the disciple of the Mohist family, for so many years."
Li Yi hurriedly helped him up. He had already heard about what happened to the Mohist disciples.
The emperors of the past dynasties were very hostile to the Mohist disciples, believing that they were just ingenious and obscene techniques that could not be put on the stage, and could even deceive people's hearts, which was not conducive to the stability of the country. They suppressed the Mohist disciples even more.
It wasn't until he met Li Yi that the status of the Mohist disciples was significantly improved.
Li Yi suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, I heard that your Moh family has a great disciple, who is called the giant of the Moh family?"
"Your Majesty, the Mohist giant is not the eldest disciple, but the actual head of our Mohist family."
When Li Yi heard this, he smiled awkwardly. It seemed that some of the cartoons in later generations were not produced, and most of them were edited.
"Then who is the Mohist giant of your generation and where is he?"
Lu Mu replied: "Your Majesty, the Mohist giant of this generation is my master. However, my master loves to travel around the world and her whereabouts are erratic. Even I don't know where she is?"
"Okay!" Li Yi nodded and said his true purpose, "Let's do this. You go do something for me and find the Mohist giant, your master. I want to hire him as a first-class master of my Gale Dynasty. , I will also establish a Dafeng Academy of Science, your master will be the first president, and I will also make him a duke, hereditary and irreplaceable."
"This, this matter... If I meet my master, I will definitely report it to him." The surprise on Lu Mu's face did not calm down for a long time. He knew that Li Yi attached great importance to the children of the Mo family, but he did not expect to attach so much importance to them.
Directly create a duke, and it is hereditary and indiscriminate!
This is such a great honor. I have to say that there are only a handful of dukes in the entire Gale Dynasty. Apart from the founding heroes, there are only... no more.
This time Li Yi paid a lot of money to recruit talents. Regardless of their origins, as long as they were talented, even if they were slaves, they could leave their citizenship and become officials and become high officials in the court.
This time it is the Mohist family, and the next time it is for people in the world. As long as they have both talent and virtue, no matter who they are, there will be a place for them to develop.
Li Yi laughed and secretly rejoiced. Now he is getting happier and happier watching Lu Mu. This is also thanks to An Zhiyi's recommendation.
As a time traveler, only he knew how important the first industrial revolution was. No matter who caught the tail of the industrial revolution, they would become the overlord in the next few hundred years.
But if we want to carry out the industrial revolution, we must have high-tech talents such as Mohist disciples.
Thinking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "How many disciples of your Mohist family are there?"
Lumus thought: "About a hundred people."
"No, it's too little."
The industrial gap in the entire Gale Dynasty is too big, and the number of technical talents needed is as vast as a sea. More than a hundred people are simply not enough.
Li Yi said immediately: "You put aside the work on hand first and invite all your fellow apprentices over. As for the salary, all of them will be in accordance with the standards of a fifth-grade civil servant."
Lu Mu responded in surprise: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll take care of it here."
With the Mohist disciples joining him, Li Yi believes that sooner or later he will revitalize the Dafeng Dynasty, expand his territory, and revive the power of Dafeng!
at the same time.
In the residence of the Minister of Rites, Ning Wen, Wei Jun, Li Cun and several other sycophants were changing cups, feeling very unhappy.
"Master Ning, six days have passed. Regardless of whether Sun Tingzong can suppress the rebellion, we will win this time." Wei Jun raised his wine glass with a grin, his eyebrows trembling with pride.
Li Cun also smiled evilly and said: "You're right, the little emperor is still too arrogant. He really thinks that two thousand fire gun soldiers can deal with tens of thousands of thieves. It is simply a delusion."
Ning Wen looked tipsy and held up his wine glass with a proud face, "What the hell does the little emperor know? He has been on the battlefield. He has fought. Does he know what is going on on the battlefield?"
"He forgot that I have been on the battlefield. Let alone two thousand firecrackers, even twenty thousand firecrackers are useless. Once the cavalry charges, these two thousand firecrackers will be gone in just an instant. .”
"Hahaha, Master Ning is still very powerful. Of all of you here, Master Ning is the only one who has been on the battlefield. Come, let's drink to Master Ning."
"Come on, come on, have a drink with Master Ning!"
After a glass of turbid wine, Ning Wen suddenly changed his smile and said viciously: "This time, we must not be merciful. We must capture Sun Tingzong and cut off the young emperor's wings. I plan to force the young emperor into the palace early tomorrow morning."
At this time, Li Cun felt something was wrong and said worriedly: "Today afternoon, the capital camp suddenly put the capital under martial law. I don't know why. Could it be that the little emperor is holding back some conspiracy?"
"Bullshit conspiracy, no matter how cunning the conspiracy is, it is nothing but a fantasy in the face of absolute strength." Ning Wen was so determined for the first time and said without taking it seriously. He firmly believed that with only two thousand fire gun soldiers, Dongshan would not be defeated in any case. Rival of the thieves.
Wei Jun also nodded and said, "It's not too late. Tomorrow morning is the best time. I've given the advice to Mr. Si and sent people to kill Sun Tingzong on his way back to his hometown to eliminate the possibility of the little emperor calling him into the palace again."
"Master Wei is still thoughtful!"
"Come, I'll offer you a drink to Mr. Wei."
"..."
Just behind the screen behind them, a figure flashed away.
