Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

After defeating North Korea, you can attack Japan eastward.After conquering Japan, you can use it as a springboard to conquer the Americas.

For America, Zhao Wen is salivating.America is one of the richest places in the world, and there are countless gold and silver mines throughout the Americas.

Rather than letting America be occupied by those white-skinned pigs, it would be better to let it belong to Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, there are many plains in the Americas, which are suitable for growing food.If the entire Americas are developed, it is estimated that at least one billion people can be fed.

Today's America is still a barren land, and the benefits of occupying it first at this time are endless.

Zhao Wen came with weapons hundreds of years ahead of this era, not just to attack Jiannu.If he didn't use these weapons to occupy those rich places, Zhao Wen would feel at a loss.

After a long journey, Zhao Wen and others finally arrived in Denglai.

"My lord, Denglai is ahead." Zhao Daniu pointed to the city wall of Denglai and said to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen squinted his eyes at the city wall of Denglai, and said to the guards behind him: "Everyone dismount, this Denglai is not our territory, so be careful in everything."

Zhao Wen and others led the horses slowly through the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city lazily leaned against the city gate, watching Zhao Wen and others pass through the city gate without moving.

In Daming, as long as you go to another place, you must have a guide.

If there is no guide, it will be difficult to move forward.

But Zhao Wen and a dozen others were not only tall, but also led their horses.

When Zhao Wen and others passed by the city guards, the faint evil spirit revealed on their bodies made those guards dare not step forward to investigate.

It's a joke, this group of people seem to be the masters of eating everywhere, who dares to go?Don't die?

After Zhao Wen and others entered Denglai, they ran directly to the restaurant.

During the past few days on the road, everyone ate fried noodles and drank cold water. Now that they finally arrived in Denglai, they had to have a good meal.

Zhao Wen and others stopped at a restaurant not far from the city gate.

"Gentlemen, please come inside. We will feed these horses well for you." A receptionist greeted you with a flattering face.

Zhao Wen casually handed over the reins of the horse to the boy, and headed inside.

Zhao Daniu looked at the boy, and said viciously: "If our horse loses a hair, I will smash your shop."

Zhao Daniu snorted coldly, followed behind Zhao Wen and went inside.

"Shopkeeper, serve me all your special dishes, and I don't want money." After everyone sat down, Zhao Daniu roared in a low voice.

"Come on, gentlemen, wait a moment." A young man with a teapot on his shoulders and a white towel ran over hastily.

Zhao Wen picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in small sips.

It was meal time now, and there were a lot of people eating in the hall, and the noise was extremely loud.

"Hey, have you heard that Mr. Sun Yuanhua, governor of Denglai, took the cannon he made a few months ago to the school yard outside the city yesterday and fired a few shots?"

On a table not far from Zhao Wen, a middle-aged man in an official uniform spoke slowly to the person next to him.

"Let me just say, why there was thunder suddenly in the sky yesterday, it turned out to be the cannon made by the governor."

"Sun Yuanhua?" Zhao Wen whispered a few words while listening to their discussion.Then the introduction about Sun Yuanhua he had seen on the Internet came to his mind.

Sun Yuanhua, courtesy name Chuyang, nicknamed Huodong, was born in Gaoqiao Town, Chuansha County, Shanghai, and was an expert in Western artillery.

In Tianqijian, he learned Western firearms law from Xu Guangqi. Sun Chengzong recommended him as the Secretary of the Ministry of War. He built a platform on the side to make cannons. , Five years later, Kong Youde, the rebel general, was trapped in Denglai, and was released after being captured.Later, he was framed by the chief assistant Wen Tiren and others, and was killed unjustly.Author of "Jingwu Chief Editor" and so on.

"Shouldn't he be the governor of Denglai in the third year of Chongzhen? This is only one year of Chongzhen, how did he become the governor of Denglai? Could it be that the butterfly's wings flapped faster because of my time travel?" Zhao Wen looked puzzled. thought.

However, this Sun Yuanhua is really capable.

Not only is he proficient in firearms, but he can also fight.Wouldn't it be even more powerful if such a person could be taken under the account?

Thinking of this, Zhao Wen's eyes flashed brightly.

Chapter 143 Calling on Sun Yuanhua

While Zhao Wen was thinking, the servant brought the food.

Zhao Wen picked up the chopsticks and started eating quickly.

"Hurry up and eat quickly, I have something to do in Denglai later."

Zhao Wen held the chopsticks and said to the crowd.

Zhao Daniu kept stuffing food into his mouth, he said vaguely: "Master, what can you do here in Denglai?"

"Never mind, hurry up and eat." Zhao Wen scolded in a low voice.

After a while, Zhao Wen put down his chopsticks and called the waiter over.

"How much is the total?" Zhao Wen asked, pointing to the food on the table.

The waiter looked at the food on the table, thought for a while and said, "It's seven cents in total."

"Here, here's a tael of silver, there's no need to look for it." Zhao Wen directly took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, slapped it on the table, and then led Zhao Daniu and others out of the restaurant.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this restaurant is really expensive for his grandma." Zhao Daniu said with a distressed expression on his face.

The waiter looked at the backs of Zhao Wen and others leaving, and couldn't help saying: "These people are really rich."

Zhao Wen took the reins of the horse from the servant, got on the horse, asked about the governor's office, and rode towards the governor's office.

On the way to the Governor's Yamen, Zhao Wen bought some gifts in the passing shops.After all, it's a visit to someone, so it's not reasonable to go there empty-handed.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Wen led the people to stop in front of Governor Denglai's gate.

"Hey, who are you? This is the governor's office. You can't stop here, so hurry up."

Just as Zhao Wen and the others stopped in front of the yamen, several yamen servants standing at the entrance of the yamen hurried over.

Zhao Daniu is reckless, since he became the commander of Zhao Wen's personal guard camp, who, except Zhao Wen, would dare to talk to him like this?

Now when he heard the tone of the yamen servant, he immediately became angry.

Zhao Daniu jumped off his horse, glared at the yamen servant, and said angrily, "What did you say? Tell me again?"

"Da Niu, don't be rude." Zhao Wen jumped off his horse and hastily reprimanded him.

Zhao Daniu looked at the yamen servant, snorted coldly, turned his head away, and stopped talking.

Zhao Wen cupped his hands to the yamen servant with a smile on his face, and said, "Is your lord here?"

"Who are you? What does it matter to you whether my lord is here or not?" The chief yamen servant looked at Zhao Wen with disgust.

Zhao Wen hurriedly took out a five-liang silver ingot from his pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the yamen servant.

"A little meaning is not a respect." Zhao Wen said with a smile.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves.Now Zhao Wen is in Denglai, and he is still paying a visit to Sun Yuanhua, otherwise, he wouldn't be giving money to a yamen servant.

There is a saying that the power of money is infinite, and the attitude of the government servant who was fierce at the last moment changed instantly after seeing the money.

The head of the yamen servant weighed the silver ingot, then stuffed it into his arms, with a smile on his face, he said cautiously: "Master Sun is in the yamen, who are you?"

"You don't have to worry about us, just go in and report that a long-time friend is asking to see you." Zhao Wen laughed.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go in and report." The yamen servant said casually, then turned around and ran into the yamen.

At this time, Sun Yuanhua was wearing a scarlet robe, and was sitting in the class room in the back hall of the yamen, dealing with government affairs.

"My lord, you have a long-standing friend asking to see you."

The yamen servant knocked on the door of the class room and said respectfully.

Sun Yuanhua put down the brush, and asked with a puzzled look: "A long-time friend? What kind of friend?"

"The little one doesn't know, but he asked the little one to report like this."

When Sun Yuanhua heard what the yamen servant said, he frowned tightly.

This Sun Yuanhua seldom communicated on weekdays. Apart from dealing with government affairs, he was basically researching firearms. He was bored in the house all day and rarely went out to make friends.In this Land of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua almost didn't have a single friend.

The sudden arrival of a so-called long-time friend made Sun Yuanhua a little confused.

"Can you see what he looks like?" Sun Yuanhua asked in a low voice.

"Long is white and clean, looks like a scholar."

Zhao Wen's appearance is that of a standard scholar in this era.

With red lips and white teeth, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, a pair of eyes are full of aura, making people feel that this person is a person who has read poetry and books at first glance.So there is nothing wrong with the description of the yamen servant.

"Scholar? This is really strange. Which scholar would come to visit me, a deviant person?" Sun Yuanhua underestimated and stood up. He put the hat on the table on his head, opened the door and walked out.

Daming at this time is not like the dynasties of wild boarskin, and Daming at this time is not as resistant to Western things as the dynasties of wild boarskin.

In Daming, many scholars had systematically studied Western science.

For example, Fang Yizhi, one of the four princes of Fushe in the late Ming Dynasty, once wrote a book called "Little Knowledge of Physics" to systematically introduce Western science.

Moreover, Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua's teacher, was the first person in China to open his eyes to see the world.

Although there are many people who study Western science, most of them are folk scholars.There are still very few scholars who study Western science in the officialdom. In the eyes of people in the officialdom, studying Western science is deviant.

Of course, they are just lip service and will not force them.But he also didn't want to be close to them, so Sun Yuanhua had very few friends in the officialdom.

Although the Ming Dynasty had various flaws, it was very open academically and ideologically.Unlike the dynasties of wild boar skin, the Ming Dynasty had a large literary inquisition, imprisoning the thoughts of scholars.In Daming, scholars were very free to do whatever they wanted.

Sun Yuanhua walked to the Yamen with a puzzled expression on his face. He looked at Zhao Wen and the others, and asked suspiciously, "Which one is my long-standing friend?"

Zhao Wen stood up, smiled, and cupped his hands at Sun Yuanhua, "May I ask if your Excellency is the governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua, Lord Sun?"

Sun Yuanhua caressed his beard and said, "It's my official. You are the so-called long-standing friend, right?"

"I'm really sorry, this is just a crooked idea that I came up with because I was afraid that the adults would not want to see me." Zhao Wen hastily apologized.

Sun Yuanhua looked at Zhao Wen and said slowly, "What do you need to do with me?"

"Nothing, just want to talk to adults." Zhao Wen smiled.

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he immediately snorted coldly, "Hmph, my time is very important, where is the time to talk to you?"

Sun Yuanhua turned around directly, making a gesture to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Wen hurriedly took a step forward, and shouted loudly: "May I ask if your lord has ever encountered a situation where the barrel of a cannon is full of trachoma bubbles and cracks when casting cannons?"

Cannons in this era still use the mud mold casting method. As the name suggests, the mud mold casting method is to make a mud mold in advance and then pour molten iron into it.

This cannon-casting method seems simple and convenient, but it has many disadvantages.

The clay used in the mud-casting cannon method must be very fine clay, otherwise the cast cannon will be full of trachoma and rough.

Moreover, after the clay model is made, it must be placed in a wind room to dry in the shade without a trace of moisture.Otherwise, the water inside will be evaporated by the high temperature when the cannon is cast, making the barrel of the cannon barrel heated unevenly.

Once the barrel is heated unevenly, the inside of the barrel is full of air bubbles, and the inside of the barrel is full of cracks.

Once the above situation occurs in the cannon barrel, it means that the cannon is useless.

More than half of the cannons that Sun Yuanhua cast a few months ago had these problems.

These problems seem simple, but they are extremely difficult to solve.Sun Yuanhua discovered this problem when he first came into contact with casting cannons. Until now, more than ten years have passed, but Sun Yuanhua still has not thought of a solution to this difficulty.

Sun Yuanhua stopped, looked at Zhao Wen, and asked, "Do you know how to cast cannons?"

"Understood, why don't you understand? And I also know the way to eliminate the trachoma bubble cracks in the barrel." Zhao Wen shouted loudly.

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Are you serious?"

"If I dare to lie to you, I will have no sex after giving birth to a son." Zhao Wen hurriedly swore.

When Sun Yuanhua heard Zhao Wen make such a solemn oath, he nodded and said, "Come in, today I want to see what you can do to solve this problem."

Zhao Wen turned his head and said to the people behind him: "You all stay here, don't run around, I will go in with Mr. Sun."

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he left Zhao Daniu and others outside, took the gift from the horse, and followed Sun Yuanhua into the yamen.

Just sitting in the hall of the back hall of the yamen, several servants brought Zhao Wen a cup of hot tea.

Zhao Wen put the gift on the table, sat on the chair, held the teacup, and sipped it.

Sun Yuanhua took the teacup, put it on the table, and asked impatiently: "You said you can solve the problem of trachoma bubble cracks in the barrel, how can you solve it?"

Zhao Wen smiled slightly, and said, "May I ask if you use mud to cast cannons?"
