Ming dynasty grand dude

Taking care of these people first is to accumulate virtue for ourselves. We are lucky to survive and walk to the capital.

People should know how to be grateful, know how to do good deeds, and know how to accumulate virtue.

The group of new residents who said this was sad, even if some people had murmurs in their hearts, they didn't say anything anymore.

The third group consisted of mothers and daughters-in-law and children. It was not easy for them to live together, and it was inconvenient to live separately.

Let them live in the house first...

Anyway, it's just such miscellaneous things. The more than [-] disaster victims except the more than [-] young and strong are in the new army drills.

All the rest have to be managed by these new scholars, and the later victims of the disaster will be resettled.

Those who were not a bit tough in the early stage really couldn't be deterred. Fortunately, with the help of Xu Tingguang and Tang Bohu, they finally got some clues.

"You don't have to worry about the manpower, Mr. Xin has already made arrangements for this..."

Seeing Fang Xinzhi's expression, Li Zhengbo said with a smile, "My senior brother Ben Qian is currently serving in Shuntian Mansion, and senior brother Tianxin can also be transferred."

"My two senior brothers have helped a lot of students in Yinyun and the teaching of children in Zhangjiazhuang! They are also very experienced!"

All of a sudden, there were several people, and all of them had participated in the compilation of phonology and taught children.

Suddenly Fang Xinzhi felt much more at ease, at least these three helpers.

However, this is not the most surprising thing, the most surprising thing is what Li Zhengbo said next.

"Most of the young people in Zhangjiazhuangzi help in the newspaper office, and all the typefaces used in the printing and typesetting of the newspaper office are all radicals..."

But Li Zhengbo looked at Fang Xinzhi with a smile, and said softly, "Forget about the students, there are about thirty people available..."

"And they are not only literate, but also have learned phonology..."

One of Fang Xin couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his heart was full of shit!

Is this little prince a genius? !Daringly, these personal hands are all ready!

Fang Xinzhi knew very well what kind of efficiency these children would achieve if they were organized by people with administrative experience like Jiang Chao and Xu Tingguang.

"Jade Chihu... is old enough to seek the country!"

The veteran Jade Chihu is now watching the master craftsmen slowly inject the molten copper alloy into the mold.

With the experience of casting a [-]-jin cannon last time, it was obvious that their movements were much faster this time.

"Zizizi~~" There were bursts of heat waves in the enlarged cellar. Recently, these master craftsmen have come up with another craft besides casting cannons.

That is to quench with fat and coarse salt, and it is very particular about timing and order.

Young Master Zhang thinks this is quite amazing. Now he has almost no crafts to communicate with these craftsmen.

At most, it is to propose some general concepts for reference by these craftsmen.

The Xu family's collection of ten thousand volumes also made Emperor Hongzhi realize the great significance of the existence of books.

Therefore, he urgently ordered Jinling to guard the eunuch, and sent the "Yongle Dadian" compiled by Emperor Yongle to the capital.

"Yongle Dadian" has not been lost, and the complete version is still kept in Jinling City.

It's just that this is only a book belonging to the royal family, and outsiders have almost no chance to read it.

"Zizizi~~~" The surging heat is constantly gushing out from the cellar, and it is absolutely impossible to go down at this time.

The master craftsmen at the side looked at the incense that was burning when the cannon was cast, and they waved their hands and shouted suddenly when it burned to a certain point.

"Unloading!"

Hearing this, the commanding masters turned around and waved their hands, staring angrily, "Cut it off!!"

It can be seen that these master craftsmen began to direct hundreds of craftsmen and auxiliary craftsmen, pushing small carts one by one.

Someone stood next to the iron winch, watching the conductor pull the lever "Ka Ka Ka..." first to open the cellar cover.

Afterwards, the auxiliary craftsmen poured the boxes of oil-soaked coarse salt grains on the trolley into the cellar "rumbling...".

"Ka Ka Ka..." The mold of the cannon was shrunk, and several master craftsmen used long poles to swing the lock and hook to hang it.

After confirming that all the hooks are hung firmly, he began to unlock the lock, and waved his hand to call for the auxiliary craftsmen to pull the winch to slowly lift it out.

A group of craftsmen shouted and chanted, the muscles on their bodies exuded the spirit of pure men under the steaming heat.

Coarse salt continued to be poured in, gradually covering the entire casting cannon.

The sound of "ZiZiZi..." kept coming out of the cellar, and while the mold was being pulled out, the salt grains were continuously supporting the casting cannon.

When the mold of the cannon was completely pulled out, the salt particles had completely buried the entire cannon.

The lid of the cellar was closed again with a "Kakaka...", and when the lid was closed, everything seemed to have fallen into dead silence again.

Everyone was waiting with bated breath, and the master next to him was staring at the time marked on Shi Xiang.

At that time, after the incense burnt to a certain position in the second quarter, the master suddenly turned around and roared, "Making up!!"

"Making up!!" The master craftsmen also shouted, and with the shouts, the huge cellar cover was opened again by "rumbling...".

Numerous trolleys and shovels were held by the assistant craftsmen, and they quickly started to scoop up salt grains.

As the cartloads of salt grains were pulled away, the steaming cannon soon revealed its appearance again.

"Ka Ka Ka...Dang~! Dang~! Dang..." The lock was slowly lowered by the hook, and several master craftsmen carefully operated the huge buckle.

Buckle the exposed cannon body, and then direct the auxiliary craftsmen to continue digging down.

The entrance to the cellar was also opened, and baskets filled with salt were handed out one by one.

"Ka Ka Ka...Dang~! Dang..." The second row of buttons locked the cannon again, and the salt grains continued to be cleaned.

After the cleaning was finally completed, the huge buttons of the third row were also fastened.

The master craftsmen began to direct the auxiliary craftsmen to bring in the cows. Obviously, the [-]-jin cannon could not be lifted by manpower.

Therefore, the use of animal power naturally became a necessary option, and a total of eight healthy cattle were brought in.

Putting on the leather buckle and "rumbling..." under the command, he exerted force and slowly pulled the cannon out of the cellar.

Little by little, it was slowly placed in the salt pile just now, and buckets of oil were picked up and continuously splashed on the cannon body.

It's just that the sound of "Zi Zi Zi ~" is no longer heard, and there is not even much green smoke rising.

The oil sand core in the gun barrel had already fallen off as the gun body was lifted, and barrels of oil were spilled into the gun barrel.

The oil-soaked plug was stuffed into the gun barrel, brushing back and forth continuously...

Grandpa Zhang sighed silently, the productivity of this era can be considered to be the ultimate.

After working hard for nearly two hours, the craftsmen gradually stopped.

Then, some master craftsmen began to lightly tap the cannon body with small hammers wrapped in thick cloth with red eyes.

Mr. Zhang knew that they were checking whether the density of the cannon body had met the requirements.

Are there any cavities and trachoma? If these appear, then the casting will fail this time.

At this moment, it can be seen that the benefits of the [-]-jin giant cannon cast before have come, and I have the experience of the previous cannon.

Now everyone working on this cannon is obviously much faster, but this obviously cannot be done in a day.

Mr. Zhang took a look around, then transferred to another workshop.

It is responsible for casting shells there, and the oil sand core iron case shells are very easy to use.

But now most of the shells cast here are small cannon shells, mainly for breech-mounted rapid-fire guns and eagle guns.

However, to his surprise, he saw an acquaintance just after he walked out of the workshop.

That back figure was too familiar, and what was even more familiar was the dog who scratched his ears and looked like a monkey like a horse beside him.

And the guards who didn't dare to look at him directly, who else could make the craftsmen inspect with trepidation except Emperor Hongzhi? !

"If this cannon is available, dozens of cannons can cast that [-]-jin giant cannon?!"

The leading old master craftsman seemed to be over sixty years old, and he hesitated when he heard Emperor Hongzhi's words.

Involuntarily looking at Grandpa Zhang again, Emperor Hongzhi laughed dumbfounded, "It's okay, old man!"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the villain and everyone have tried many times and have a new recipe and casting method."

Seeing that the old man was about to kneel down to answer, but was lifted up by Emperor Hongzhi himself, he couldn't help being a little excited.

"The weight of the cannon can be reduced to [-] catties, and it can be longer! It can reach two feet, but according to the calculations of the villains, this cannon can hit the gate of the city five miles away!"

When the old man mentioned the cannon, both eyeballs were shining, "Even a five-foot-thick wall is nothing but paper in front of it!!"

Chapter 336 The wish is finally fulfilled, the heavy-duty cannon

"Dangdangdang~~" The yamen servants passed by beating the gong in the street, shouting and shouting, "All neighbors have a blind date, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will start the trial at noon in three days!"

All the blind daters in the capital gathered around when they heard the sound of the gong, and the yamen servant raised his head and said loudly.

"All the corrupt ministers of the country, the profiteers and evil merchants who have experienced a sharp rise in food prices, are all sentenced in the street according to the law!!"

Hearing these words, all the people in the capital below couldn't help being in an uproar. It has been a long time.

Finally, it's time to start dealing with these bastards.

The big guys in the capital are so busy making money that they almost forgot about it.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that the sentence was pronounced on the street, which seemed to be the same as the last time the city foxes and rats were arrested.

Next, there are some scholars who are thinking about it. Could it be that this time it is also the handwriting of Yu Chihu...

"boom!!"

A loud noise came from far outside the capital city, but the people were only slightly startled but no one panicked.

During this period of time, everyone has gotten used to it. From time to time, there will be huge explosions and roars in the suburbs.

Everyone panicked the first time, but after a few more times, they got used to it.

"Oh oh oh~ His Majesty has tried the cannon again!"

Then the young man rubbed his fists at the yamen servant and asked with a smile, "Brother Cha, why did our empire build so many cannons to fight the Tatars?!"

"I reckon it's going to be a fight. Last time, Mr. Zhang almost suffered a loss!"

As the yamen servant said, they all said in an injustice, "Fortunately, the old man has arrived, otherwise we would have suffered a big loss from the grain merchant this time!"

The people all nodded their heads when they heard this. Yu Chihu helped the nobles earn a lot of money and gained a good reputation.

Naturally, everyone knows that reciprocating, this is the "Royal Charity for the World and the People" suggested by the Jade Chihu to the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces.

In addition, during the price increase of grain merchants this time, please Your Majesty and the nobles together to revitalize the economy. It is the hands of Jade Chihu.

Besides, isn't the Jade Chi tiger fighting the Tatars just to protect the victims? !

This is a good man!

"Pfft~! Tell the old man to say that it would be better to kill them all. Your Majesty has trained his soldiers well and defeated the Tartars so we can live a peaceful life."

Emperor Hongzhi doesn't have much intention to deal with the Tatars now. The latest news from the factory guards is that there is a massacre inside the Tatars.

Almost all the pig's brains turned into dog's brains, and several of them were still debating whether to ask Daming for help.

So Emperor Hongzhi didn't care about Tatar at all now, his eyes were fixed on the cannon now.

Only these three words echoed in my mind, success! !

The giant cannon rested smoothly under the heavy base, and its position didn't even move much.

Under the scorching sun, the slightly golden-golden bright alloy copper cannon body shines brightly.

The blue smoke wafting from the muzzle was so calm and breezy that the city marked "Wu Li" on the far hill fell down tragically.

A group of master craftsmen have already begun to direct the auxiliary craftsmen to pour grease on the cannon to cool down, and after the temperature drops, they start to beat the cannon body carefully.

Check to see if there are cracks or internal damage to the gun barrel. If so, there is a problem with the casting gun.

Emperor Hongzhi slowly took off his earmuffs and let out a deep breath.

The recent government affairs are basically handed over to the three major scholars and various ministers, and all his thoughts are put on this artillery.

As early as when the [-]-jin heavy cannon was cast, the [-]-jin mold had already been made.

Even the oil sand cores have been piled up, regardless of whether the [-] jin is successful or not, this cannon casting method has been considered feasible.

Therefore, during this period of time, after watching the [-]-jin test cannon, Emperor Hongzhi stayed in the foundry department every day.
