Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

After all, in the future, this island will not only house the fifty thousand sailors, but also some family members of officers.

It won't take long for this place to develop into a town of considerable size.

So, plan ahead.

Therefore, Ying Zigao spent another whole night designing a road plan for the future town.

On the second day, he led the workers to start construction on the island!

These hundreds of workers were still not enough, so Ying Zi decided to go off in person, and recruited thousands more workers in the nearby counties.

Now, the whole Ludao is booming.

What a wasteful scene!

A week later, more than 100 brand new barracks were erected!

Although these barracks are also wooden structures, the outside of these woods is coated with oil for ships, so they will not decay due to the wind and sun.

Even, Ying Zigao bought a lot of tiles out of his own pocket to prevent the house from leaking.

The radiators are also arranged.

In order to avoid rain every day in winter, the house will be damp.

It's really hard to sleep in the humidity.

Time flies, a month has passed.

More than 400 barracks have been built.

In the central town, half of the city walls were erected, and the streets inside the walls were neatly paved.

Now, it is up to the common people to move in.

Many officers who were temporarily promoted also brought their family members and built their own mansions in the center of the town.

Zheng He also successfully moved into the General's Mansion.

On this day, Ying Zigao had just stepped out of the newly built barracks when he collided head-on with Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"Master Gao!"

Shangshu Gongbu is still so... polite.

He offered a musket with both hands, handed it to Yingzi Gao and said, "Master Gao, this is the musket that I have personally supervised to build in the past month. It has been tested and can fire shotguns!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao was very happy.

"Although it was a little slower than I expected, but fortunately, you figured it out."

Ying Zigao praised him twice, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry was delighted.

Then, Ying Zigao ordered: "Well, you can go to Zheng He later and ask him to send some soldiers to test the power of this musket!"

"it is good!"

The biggest difference between a flintlock gun and an arquebus is that the flintlock gun does not need to be ignited.

That's why Ying Zigao didn't design a matchlock, but a flintlock.

But right now, the flintlock gun has been manufactured, and the improvement of gunpowder should also be put on the agenda.

A week ago, several alchemists were sent from Xianyang, and now they are also testing improved gunpowder in the temporary factory.

In the afternoon, all the officials on Lu Island came to the training ground.

Under Ying Zigao's command, several scarecrows wearing Daqin armor were placed ten meters away.

Ten musketeers, holding muskets as long as one man and equipped with bayonets, were standing in place.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War, two alchemists, Admiral Zheng He, Ying Zigao who pretended to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Suzaku, who has not yet decided what position to give, have all been present and seated.

Zheng He stood up first, strode to the side of the ten soldiers, and whispered in their ears: "Behave better, there is a big man in the group sitting behind, behave well, this general has a lot to do." reward!"

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Zheng He came to Ying Zigao and said, "Master Gao, you can start now."

Ying Zigao nodded and said, "Aim!"

At Ying Zigao's order!
Ten soldiers immediately aimed their muskets at the scarecrow not far ahead.

Then, Ying Zigao shouted: "Fire!"

Ten soldiers pulled the trigger together!
Just listen to crackling!

A series of loud bangs!
Then, bursts of smoke covered the ten soldiers!
"How about it?"

Ying Zigao looked at Zheng He.

Zheng He immediately waved to the two soldiers beside him, and the two soldiers rushed towards the scarecrow.

When they came to the scarecrow, the two soldiers were stunned immediately!

The two slowly took off the Daqin armor on the scarecrow, looked carefully, and then hurried back.

When the ministers present saw it, they immediately froze in place!
That armor...

It has already been shot into a sieve by countless iron balls in the musket!

"This! This weapon is really a miracle! Hahaha! If our soldiers of the Great Qin can possess such weapons, our soldiers of the Great Qin will definitely be invincible!"

"Yes! Hahaha! Master Gao is wise! Master Gao is wise! He was able to invent such a miracle!"

The ministers all knew Ying Zigao's identity, so naturally they didn't dare to expose it.

But he didn't dare to be unreasonable to Ying Zigao.

In Suzaku's eyes, Ying Zigao was getting more and more strange.

He is obviously just a minister of the Ministry of Industry, so how come everyone present respects him so much?
Be careful when speaking.

"Hahaha! You are really flattering me." Ying Zigao smiled modestly, "To tell you the truth, I am not the only one responsible for this flintlock."

Ying Zigao thought to himself, it has been so long, Suzaku has also put on her own carefully designed female official uniform, it is time to introduce Suzaku.

Therefore, Ying Zigao pointed to Suzaku next to him and said: "This woman is named Suzaku, and her surname is Suzaku. I saw it on the way to Ludao. This woman knows astronomy and geography. She also has a lot of insight into the craftsman's technique, if it weren't for this strange woman, it would be difficult to design such a powerful flintlock!"

Hearing this, all the ministers looked at Suzaku one after another.

Everyone was very curious about Suzaku.

After all, Suzaku has been following Ying Zigao all day for the past month.

What's more, there are people in strange clothes, whether they are male or female.

Let’s say that he is a concubine who was brought into the harem on the way of the emperor. This woman is plain, even wearing a male or female attire. Say that she is a female slave brought out from the palace, and she did not serve the emperor.

The ministers looked at Suzaku curiously, talking a lot.

Seeing this, Ying Zigao said, "My lords, I think that our Great Qin Kingdom is so powerful, and now it's time for us to employ people. We can't ruin her future just because some people are daughters. The Great Qin Empire should welcome all kinds of people with lofty ideals, regardless of gender!"

As soon as this word comes out!
The ministers present were talking about it!
Even Zheng He showed an expression of incomparable surprise!
Since ancient times, how can there be any reason for women to be officials?

They are only responsible for taking care of their husbands and raising their children at home. If women are allowed to be officials in court, this... this is too ridiculous!

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of War stood up and said, "Lord Gao, you must not! Since ancient times, women are inferior to men, and women are in power. I'm afraid... it will make the government and the people feel uneasy!"
