Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

The emperor will come to inspect today, so all the new things have been taken out, and the entire shooting range has almost become an arms exhibition.

Ning Fan saw these neatly arranged various weapons. Most of the weapons were slowly copied according to the drawings he drew.

But there were two weapons among them that shocked Ning Fan in particular. One of them was a rifle. This was the first time Ning Fan had seen this kind of repeating rifle, because before that, Yinfan thought that it could not be made with today's technology. There is no such sophisticated machinery.

However, when Ning Fan took it into his hand and tried it carefully, he was disappointed to find that it was just a model and did not have the ability to ejaculate at all.

However, Ning Fan felt relieved after thinking about it. The development of science and technology must be advanced step by step, and it is impossible to develop in leaps and bounds. All high-precision products are condensed with the essence of various craftsmanship. , can be polished.

"Your Majesty, this is our latest artillery, with a range of more than 800 meters."

A few young people from the Ordnance Research Institute were already able to take the leading role on their own. They introduced the latest artillery to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan looked at the cannonball. The shape of this cannonball was completely different from the previous cannonballs. This thing cannot be called a cannon. It should be called a rocket. It was a ramjet engine that Ning Fan had a whim at that time. , a product of imagination.

"This thing is probably not very accurate. Where it hits and explodes depends entirely on luck."

Ning Fan said with a smile.

Several young people from the weapons research institute couldn't help but laugh awkwardly when they heard that Ning Fan had exposed the shortcomings of this weapon all at once. Indeed, this new type of rocket launcher just fires and doesn't matter where it lands. Depending on luck, the power is quite powerful and the momentum is quite scary, but it is uncontrollable.

"Remember, weapons that cannot remember the target are a waste. Isn't this throwing money into the water? This thing cannot be mass-produced for the time being. You go back and study it carefully to see how to make it accurate and ruthless. Hit the target.”

Ning Fan was not angry, but gave careful instructions to several young people in the weapons research institute.

Young people must be energetic, especially young and outstanding talents like this, who are the talents needed by the future empire.

Ning Fan brought the knowledge of the future to this era, and after these young people have integrated this knowledge, they will further develop it. With the development of the times, these technologies will also be updated.

In fact, there is not much breakthrough in weapons, because the development of weapons is mainly limited by materials science.

After returning from the Xishan shooting range, what Ning Fan looked forward to the most was the news about his return from Jiangnan. However, hard work paid off. On the fifth day after returning from Xishan, a memorial was delivered to Ning Fan from Jiangnan.

When he opened the memorial, Ning Fan's heart beat unexpectedly. Because of the familiar handwriting on the memorial, Ning Fan could tell at a glance that this memorial was written by Qin Ying!

The fleet not only returned, but also brought back a large amount of overseas specialty goods.

There were two things that caught Ning Fan's attention the most. One of them was sweet potatoes. When he saw the sweet potatoes, Ning Fan almost jumped up with excitement. The other thing turned out to be flue-cured tobacco!

Seeing this kind of thing, Ning Fan couldn't help but shook his head, and he couldn't help but think of an advertisement slogan in his ears, smoking is harmful to health.

But I have to say that this thing is indeed a powerful tool for making money for the court. With this thing, all it takes is to collect tobacco taxes, and the court will become rich.

Of these two things, Ning Fan's favorite is naturally sweet potatoes. In a sense, the yield of sweet potatoes is even much higher than that of corn. With these two artifacts, I am afraid that Dakang will no longer have to worry about food in the future. .

"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you day and night, and now it is finally here. Fortunately, the fleet has arrived safely in the south of the Yangtze River. Soon, Qin Ying will come to Kyoto in person to meet with the Holy Emperor."

Xiao Lingxi felt relieved when she saw that Ning Fan was happy. Ning Fan had been talking about the Jiangnan fleet these days. He didn't think about food or tea. He didn't even go to the harem to visit the concubines for half a month. Well, now the harem is full of complaints.

"Well, it's like a stone fell to the ground. I have been worried about what happened to the fleet at sea. I am relieved to see that the fleet has returned safely."

Ning Fan took a long breath and smiled on his face.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Sister Yumeng seems to be sick recently. Why don't you go see her tonight."

Xiao Lingxi said with a smile.

Ning Fan raised his head and glanced at Xiao Lingxi with a smile. They had been married for more than a year. Naturally, Ning Fan immediately realized that Xiao Lingxi was lying. That Huang Yumeng, a female Taoist priest who had been practicing Taoism all day long, was so innocent. Desire can bring about any disease or disaster.

"Don't talk about Huang Yumeng. This girl has been practicing Taoism all day long and is in good health. She won't have a problem living two or three hundred years in the future. How can she get sick?"

Ning Fan immediately exposed Xiao Lingxi.

"Cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal is, after all, an illusory thing. There has been no successful case since ancient times. Does Your Majesty still believe in this?"

Xiao Lingxi shook her head. He didn't believe that this cultivator could achieve enlightenment. It was all a trick to fool people.

But Ning Fan shook his head, looked at Xiao Lingxi seriously and said, "I don't know about others, but this Huang Yumeng does have skills in his body. After practicing Taoism, he can go without eating or drinking for ten days without being hungry." , and the body will not lose any weight.”

Hearing what Ning Fan said, Xiao Lingxi had never heard of this matter before and couldn't help but look curious.

"No wonder Sister Yumeng's skin is as white as snow and she doesn't show signs of aging at all. It turns out that she has the skills of cultivating Taoism. Why don't I, my concubine, learn from Sister Yumeng when I have nothing to do?"

Xiao Lingxi is indeed an attractive woman. What she fears most is aging. Although Xiao Lingxi is only twenty years old now, she is already worried about the future.

Ning Fan didn't want to interfere with the affairs of the harem, but he did come to Huang Yumeng's palace at night.

It has been almost a month since I last approached a woman. Today, I was in a happy mood, and Ning Fan was in a higher mood. Huang Yumeng followed Ning Fan, and they fell in love all night long. At dawn, the two of them hugged each other. Falling deeply into a dream.

Another month has passed, and spring is coming soon. Good news has been coming back to Shen Mengxi these days.

The railway from Kyoto to Jiangnan has almost been laid, and the trial run of the first steam car is approaching the date. Everything is ready and will soon enter the final commissioning stage.

"Your Majesty, news came back from the northwest, saying that the Huns are ready to make a move."

Zhou Qun entered the palace in the morning and told Ning Fan some news, but Ning Fan had no reaction after hearing the news.
