Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 237 Arsenal and Yan Village
Qin Shihuang looked at the earth pit blown out by the gunpowder, and was very excited: "Here comes a decree to reward Dr. Ye, You Shuchang, a reward of [-], [-] servants, and [-] horses."

Good guy, the speed at which Ye Qingya was promoted to the title is simply too fast. It has only been a long time since I came to Daqin, and I have been promoted from an eighth-level public ride to an eleventh-level Youshu. The teachers present are like eating lemons. generally.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Ye Qingya immediately bowed at ninety degrees to express her gratitude.

"Mr. Wu'an's recommendation of Ye Aiqing should also be rewarded for his meritorious service. He gave Mr. Wu'an five thousand households, one hundred thousand gold, one hundred servants, and one hundred horses." After Qin Shihuang rewarded Ye Qingya, he still did not forget Xiao Hong's contribution to the nomination.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Xiao Hong didn't bow down ninety degrees to thank Ye Qingya. After all, this reward is at most a drop in the bucket for Xiao Hong's current achievements.

"Your Majesty, this method of use is actually only the most elementary application of gunpowder. I wrote to open an arsenal for the production of various firearms," ​​Xiao Hong said with a bow.

"Firearms?" Qin Shihuang looked at Xiao Hong suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, the so-called firearms are weapons that use the gas produced by the combustion of gunpowder to launch warheads or spray flames. They are used to kill the enemy's vital forces and destroy the enemy's military facilities. The establishment of the arsenal will allow the development of multiple uses of gunpowder, which may be achieved in the future. Take the power of the enemy's head thousands of miles away." Xiao Hong explained to everyone what firearms are and the intention of building an arsenal.

"Cai, Mr. Wu An's play is correct." Qin Shihuang agreed to Xiao Hong's request with a big wave of his hand.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The production of gunpowder is very simple, and the formula can be mastered by ordinary people as long as they read it a few times. The minister suggested that the death row prisoners who have family members in Daqin can be used to gather them all and set up in a mountain forest. A village is used for the manufacture of gunpowder, and heavy soldiers can be stationed outside the village to guard it. These people can only live in the village all their lives, including their descendants, and their only job is to make gunpowder, so that the formula of gunpowder can be guaranteed to the greatest extent won't leak out"

"Mr. Wu An, are you saying that the production of this gunpowder is very simple?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the production of gunpowder is not difficult, so I proposed to set up a mountain village specializing in the manufacture of gunpowder, and set up heavy troops around the periphery to prevent the leakage of gunpowder formula. Because gunpowder needs to be triggered by flames, I proposed that this village can be named It's called Yan Village" Xiao Hong bowed and said.

"Okay, pass the decree to the six ministries of the three provinces, and fully cooperate with Lord Wu'an in building the arsenal and Yan Village. No one should slack off or hinder it." Qin Shihuang followed Xiao Hong's opinion and directly issued an order to the six ministries of the three provinces on the spot.

"The ministers and others obey the order." Li Si and others hurriedly bowed to accept the order.

……

Dozens of days later, in the eastern outskirts of Xianyang, in an unnamed mountain forest, a mountain village with a large population appeared.

There are hundreds of families in the mountain village, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

However, this kind of mountain village is very common in Daqin, but no one knows that there are [-] troops stationed outside this mountain village and thousands of elite warriors who have seen the Battle of Hetao.

In the mountain village, there are dozens of Xuanwu guards hiding in the dark, watching at twelve hours a day, day and night.

This is the Yan Village, which was established by Xiao Hong, specializing in the production of gunpowder.

In the morning, it was just dawn.

A group of strong men came out of the house.

They walked into the huge workshop in the middle of the mountain village with ease, and began to make various powders according to the requirements.

Everyone grinds different ores into powder, and there is another workshop a thousand meters away from this workshop.

However, there are soldiers standing guard on the outskirts of this workshop. When the people in the mountain village produce every [-] catties of powder, there will be a special person responsible for sending the powder into this workshop with soldiers standing guard.

After the people inside made it, the cans of gunpowder were stacked in piles in a factory building specially used to store gunpowder. All fireworks are prohibited in this factory building.

And every day, soldiers will transport these prepared gunpowder out of Yancun.

The people in Yan Village are all death row prisoners who were imprisoned in Xianyang, but these death row prisoners all have family members.

When they were all brought to Yan Village, Lord Wu An told them that from now on, they, their families and descendants will live here for generations, but Daqin will satisfy any reasonable needs they have here. them.But as long as someone leaks the secrets of Yan Village, Yan Village will be burned, and everyone will be buried for it.

Every ten days, a large amount of ore is sent into Yan Village, and their only job is to grind these ores into powder according to the type, and then mix them together as required.

And the quantity of things they make every day will be strictly checked, and there can be no slightest mistake.

Once there is a mistake, it will be investigated to the end, but if someone is found to be hiding something, it will be a death penalty, and his family will also be punished.

So from the moment they entered Yan Village, they were isolated from the world.

But they are treated very well.

Everyone has three meals a day, and there must be meat every day.

Whatever they want to eat, as long as it is not too much, Mr. Wu An will satisfy them.

This kind of life is already like a paradise for death row prisoners.

Compared to losing their freedom, that is fundamentally important. After all, the crimes they themselves committed are all capital crimes. Now that Daqin can walk around them without dying and give them this kind of life that they can't even imagine, it is already very satisfying.

Less than ten miles away from Yan Village is the Daqin Armory, which is also heavily guarded. Qin Shihuang sent fifty Xuanwu Guards to guard it day and night.

The people working in the arsenal are all carefully selected old Qin people, but they are much better than Yancun, at least they still have freedom, but their lives will also be under strict surveillance.

The most important point is that they can't tell anyone what they did, as long as they dare to reveal a little bit, no matter who they are, they will be killed, and their families will be buried with them.

In order to make several kinds of firearms in the shortest time, Xiao Hong changed all his classes to the morning.

Every morning after Xiao Hong finished his classes at the academy, Yu Jian would come to the arsenal.

During this time, Xiao Hong was constantly running between the academy and the arsenal, and he never slept at night and had no time to practice.

It is also fortunate that Xiao Hong is a Jindan cultivator, if this is for ordinary people, they would have already received box lunches.

But the hard work paid off. One month after the arsenal was established, it finally produced two very powerful firearms.

And Xiao Hong also personally tested the power of these two firearms. Although compared with later generations, it is still a lot worse, but it is enough for Daqin at present.

And for these two kinds of firearms, Xiao Hong specially recruited [-] soldiers to practice hard day and night, and finally spent ten days to thoroughly master the usage method and ensure the accuracy.

"You guys transport all these to the military training ground, this is my token" Xiao Hong handed a token to Xuanwu Wei, asking him to bring the firearms to the military training ground.

In the past month, Wang Jian has already led the students to conduct a military drill at the military drill field. For the students, this kind of military drill has benefited a lot.

And Xiao Hong is going to Xianyang Palace with Yujian, and it is the morning time at this time.

　Thanks Zero.Thank you very much for the monthly ticket
