'Bang bang bang' there was a sound of firecrackers, and the range of the bullets of the fireguns was fed back and increased a lot.
At the same time, the rate of fire increased, and the gunman began to use fixed ammunition, biting open a paper bag and pouring it directly, without having to think about much.
Generally speaking, in the era after Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty used small spoons as measuring tools.
Now we go one step further. Paper bags are also moisture-proof to a certain extent, and one bag can hold a bunch of them.
"Just a piece of wood?" Liu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, took a wooden horse and looked at it. This is a disposable consumable.
He couldn't understand the reason why the wood pieces were so far apart.
Another Minister of War, Wu Lin, also picked up a piece of wood and looked at it: "Why can't anyone think of such a simple thing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and was very happy. This was the first time he saw the effect. No matter how good the drawing on the paper was or how detailed it was, he was not convinced.
Wang Guangyang followed up and took a piece: "In this way, the fire blunderbuss that was cast before will not need to be replaced and melted, which saves manpower and material resources."
For a time, each person had a wooden horse, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry An Ran fiddled with it twice: "It is an important weapon of the country, a good thing."
"There is another type of arrow that is placed in a gun and fired, which can reach a distance of three hundred paces. It is made by a righteous craftsman."
Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned another thing, the musket and arrows that his son Zhu Di had when he was emperor, but now he is still a vassal, and he is only twelve years old.
Historically, we had to wait another nine years, then go to Peiping to guard, and fight Nai'er in Beiyuan.
Now I don’t know if he still needs to fight Nai’er Buhua. Next year Xu Da will bring new weapons to fight the remnants of Bei Yuan. The ending...
When everyone heard about three hundred steps, they thought about it and realized that the enemy's bows and arrows were obviously not enough. If they attacked immediately, they would suffer one more round. If they attacked with infantry, they would suffer two more rounds.
If it was a melee, those in front would get entangled, and both sides would block and shoot at the enemy's rear formation, and Beiyuan would suffer even more.
With their thoughts in mind, everyone started busying themselves with Prince Zhu Biao's marriage.
A lot of procedures have been completed before, including receiving gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting levies, asking for appointments, informing the temple, and offering vows.
None of these people from Xiaqiu Village participated. If they did, the harvest would be delayed.
The people in the village mainly participated in the welcoming ceremony. Today, officials from the Ministry of Rites rushed to the door of the future crown princess's house to arrange the arrangements. Tomorrow, Zhu Biao will take people on a carriage to pick up the bride.
When leaving the palace gate, lower the chariot and raise the chariot, then turn south, lower the chariot and raise the chariot, then lower the chariot...
Anyway, it’s very cumbersome, going around all kinds of times, asking and answering questions, standing here and there, and others standing back and forth.
A set of procedures cannot be carried out by the physical strength of ordinary people, and ordinary emcees cannot do this job. There are too many steps.
Today, the ministers must ensure that there will be no mistakes tomorrow, and Zhu Biao will not study anymore. He will have to work hard tomorrow.
He listened to the music box with Queen Ma in Kunning Palace. It jingled and four groups of little people made different movements.
"What a clever use of thought! How can you play music?" Queen Ma's eyes were full of smiles.
"It is said to be the same as the frogs given to the younger brothers and sisters, with a clockwork." Zhu Biao was very satisfied with this gift.
He is not short of money, let alone jewels. I think the other party also considered it in the same way, so he gave him something that was not available in the world.
My little brothers and sisters jumped and crawled along with the frog. When the clockwork power ran out, the frog jumped and flapped.
Empress Ma nodded: "Glass mirrors are also extraordinary. They are lighter than bronze mirrors and are easier to clean.
Everyone, big and small, had people seal the surroundings with wooden strips, and the people in the harem rewarded them according to their quality, and they were all very happy.
After your wedding, I will sell the mirror to the barbarians. If they don't have it, they will definitely charge a high price in exchange for food, medicinal materials, gold and silver. "
Queen Ma is in charge of the affairs of the harem. Which person should be given how many things? There are customizations, and the same goes for mirrors.
It's just that Xiaqiu Village does not provide mirror-making recipes. In the future, you can only get them from the village, as well as telescopes.
"Our Ming Dynasty really wants to make more money from the barbarians. If there is more money, it can solve the problem of money shortage."
Zhu Biao was worried about the lack of money in the Ming Dynasty. He was short of copper when making copper coins, and mixed other things at the same time.
The purpose of mixing other things is that ordinary people cannot get pure copper after melting, so as to prevent them from melting money to make utensils.
And the outflow of copper coins was prohibited. Small countries outside used Tang Dynasty copper coins as currency during the Tang Dynasty, and then used Song Dynasty copper coins during the Song Dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty did not run away, and now in the Ming Dynasty, there are still people who want copper coins.
The key point is that they don't exchange copper for it. If they exchange two copper coins for one copper coin, they just need to bring the copper and guarantee that they are willing to exchange it.
At noon, Zhu Yuanzhang came back and shouted happily: "It can really fly three hundred steps away, and with the new flintlock gun, how can Bei Yuan fight with the Ming Dynasty?"
Apparently the craftsman worked overtime to make the gun and arrow and let him try it out, and the result was the same as what was written on the paper.
Queen Ma served the duck soup and asked happily: "Chongba, have you tried it yet?"
"I tried it. I sent them firecrackers and invited them to watch the ceremony. It's a great blessing. This is a good gift for my son's wedding."
Zhu Yuanzhang washed his hands himself. At this moment, he liked everyone and always had a smile on his face.
Zhu Biao sliced the duck meat and said, "Tell them about the glass mirror in five days. Ming Dynasty needs money."
He will get married tomorrow, and three days later, he will start a banquet with the ministers and married women. People without status cannot participate.
Except for the people in Xiaqiu Village, because Xiaqiu Village is too rich and there are ways to make a lot of money.
"Today's roast duck looks good. Did you give it to them?" Zhu Yuanzhang was equally pleased with the duck.
Some unofficial historians say that he loved roast duck and would eat one roast duck a day. This is purely fabricated, but it is still okay to eat it every seven or eight days.
Guanglu Temple cooks roast duck and chicken every day, and not necessarily Zhu Yuanzhang will eat them. Others want to eat them, but if they can't cook them freshly, they have to prepare them in advance.
No one ate it, and the leftovers were sold out of the palace for money. They were very expensive, just like the barbarians who sold them to the merchants.
"Sent it, I told you to keep it warm and send it away." Zhu Biao always cared about the villagers and would never forget it.
…
In the courtyard behind Fuhua Building, a whole village of people and twenty guards were all eating roast duck.
The shopkeeper was given one, but he was reluctant to sell it and wanted to eat it himself. It was hot when it was delivered.
In the past, I could buy all-cool food at various places and it would not be too hot. But now I can. Guanglu Temple no longer sells roast duck.
When Zhu Wentian drinks here, the village elders all drink a little. They drink slowly and eat slowly. They won't have dinner until Shen Shizheng is finished.
Take a walk in the yard or in front of a restaurant, then go to bed early, get up early tomorrow, finish dealing with physiological problems before dawn, and eat.
I have to follow the prince's team around in the morning, and I carry rock candy with me. I eat a piece of rock candy when I feel low energy.
According to the etiquette process, it is estimated that they have to work from morning to dusk, otherwise the prince and princess would not be able to do that during the day!
The etiquette does not mention where to eat at noon, which means that if you don't eat, you will be hungry. The morning meal is very important.
