Royal Gold Magistrate

Watermelon patch?Cotton field?

Lai Gou'er was puzzled: "What's the use of watermelon fields and cotton fields? Isn't there also a big scene?"

"You don't have to worry about it, maybe you will understand later. Let's go, I'll take you to my house to see a baby."

Without waiting for Lai Gou'er to answer, Fang Zhengyi led him towards the Taoyuan County Government without any explanation.

When he arrived at the backyard of the Taoyuan County Government Office, he returned to the back house where he hadn't lived often for a long time.

Fang Zhengyi led Lai Gou'er straight into the study, came to the bookshelf, and found a small box.

Solemnly put it in front of Lai Gou'er.

Slowly opening the box, a small finger-like brass object first appeared in front of his eyes.

Fangzheng picked up the object and handed it to Lai Gou'er and asked, "Can you see what it's for?"

"This is... a wedge?" Lai Gou'er frowned and thought hard, looking at the little thing over and over again.

To put it loosely, this thing is a small brass pillar, but with a pointed end.

He really couldn't think of any use for this thing other than a wedge for plugging the gap.

But aren't wedges all made of wood?How can it be made of brass?

"No, it's called a bullet."

"Bullet?" Lai Gou'er slowly shook his head, "I don't understand."

Fang Zhengyi took the bullet and stared at it: "This is used in a gun, and it is far superior to the muskets currently assembled by the Shenji Battalion in terms of power, stability, and accuracy."

"This bullet is divided into three parts. The bottom is a primer made of a sensitive gunpowder, the middle is black powder, and the front is the warhead."

"Combined with the latest firearms, the bullets can be fired when the primer is activated, and killing people is like mowing grass."

As soon as Fangzheng said, he opened another layer from the box that originally contained the bullets, revealing a pistol with a strange shape underneath.

Holding the handle of the gun with his right hand, he shook it vigorously, and a wheel with six holes popped out from the side.

In front of Lai Gou'er, Fang Zhengyi pressed the bullet in, and then aimed at the vase by the window.

Pull the trigger.

boom!

The bullets shot out, the vase shattered, and a wisp of white smoke slowly drifted out from the muzzle of the gun.

Fangzheng shook his right hand again, the wheel still popped out, the muzzle of the gun was up, and the brass shell fell to the ground.

Amid the crisp bouncing sound of the bullet casing, Lai Gou'er's pupils dilated.

"It's called a revolver. It's no exaggeration to say that it's the strongest weapon in my career today. However, the manufacture of bullets is extremely difficult, and mass production cannot be achieved." Fang Zhengyi patted the revolver on Lai Gou'er's hand, "Besides me, you are the first person to see the finished product of the revolver, and even His Majesty and His Majesty don't know anything about it."

Lai Gou'er held the revolver without saying a word, but his joy was beyond words.

This gun is extremely easy to use, and based on his experience with guns, he can see that it is extremely powerful.

The current short guns that still use iron pellets cannot be compared with it at all.

Fang Zhengyi's voice rang in his ears: "When I was young and I was not in Beijing, I organized people to study firearms in Taoyuan County. The structure of many firearms is actually not that complicated. The difficulty lies in the manufacture of bullets. Now the bullets have been successfully developed. The next thing to do is to find a way to mass produce."

"If the mass production is successful, more powerful firearms will come out quickly in the future."

Lai Gou'er fixed his gaze on the left wheel, and kept nodding his head.

Suddenly a great fear enveloped the heart.

His Majesty didn't know about the strongest firearms at that time, and neither did His Highness, so the elder brother only showed me.

What do you mean?Could it be that he...

Lai Gou'er swallowed, his neck stiffened and he raised his head to look at Fang Zhengyi.

Fang Zhengyi was also looking at him.

The corner of Lai Gou'er's eyes twitched, Qiqi Ai said: "It's illegal to keep this thing privately, brother, you..."

"Illegal? Your elder brother, I came here all the way illegally." Fangzheng said with a half-smile, "What are you afraid of?"

"I..." Lai Gou'er couldn't speak.

Could it be that the eldest brother wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court's crusade against the church and ask me to do something overseas?

"Okay, don't think about it." Fangzheng patted him on the shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone, "I didn't show it to the court just because the timing was too late. It didn't take long for the entire army of the Shenji Battalion to replace it. Even better, we will definitely do our best to develop and manufacture new guns.”

"At that time, it will be a sky-high military expenditure. The country's resources are limited, and there is still a lot to do. Improving people's livelihood is the top priority, so this thing can't be used yet."

Lai Gou'er let out a sigh of relief: "Brother, you scared me to death..."

Fangzheng smiled: "Have you seen the background of Dajing?"

"I see, it's really amazing. The West is simply unrivaled. These are two completely different worlds." Lai Gou'er nodded deeply.

This trip back to China really made him feel that his world view has changed.

"In fact, I hope that war between Dajing and the West will be avoided as much as possible. After all, the current firearms and equipment are not so large that the West's military strength cannot make up for it."

"If enough time is allowed for development, in another ten or twenty years, our weapons and equipment will inevitably crush the world, and every war that occurs at that time can end at lightning speed, deterring all countries, and less Do many murders."

"In my opinion, these are all unnecessary killings. The soldiers in my grand scene are human beings, and the common people in the West are also human beings. They are not pawns."

Fangzheng walked around with his hands behind his back and his head raised.

As an ideal traveler, learn history, become history... In the end, you have to go beyond history.

It sounds good to kill and decisively alone, but it would be miserable for anyone who falls into the hands of a decisive person... He doesn't want to be such a person.

If we blindly follow the old path, or even copy the crooked path regardless of human nature, it will be a failure.

Of course, the new triangle plan that is brewing to increase employment opportunities and happiness index for tropical people does not count.

Fangzheng sighed quietly: "But I see the reaction of the imperial court today, and the situation on your side, this development time will not be given to us."

"The battle between Dajing and the West is inevitable."

"I'll give you this revolver, and I'll have someone make some bullets for you later, and you can take it back with you."

Lai Gou'er was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

Even His Majesty and His Highness have never seen such an artifact, yet my elder brother gave it to me directly.

"Brother is so kind to me, but this gun is too precious for me to take, so I should keep it."

Fangzheng shook his head: "Take it."

"You were born in a humble background, but you broke through the world without taking the imperial examination. A new era has arrived. In the future, there will be more ordinary people like you. Everyone can become a hero, and birth can no longer be a chain for people's progress."

"Protect your own safety and set an example for the world."
