Seeing the emperor who looked at him expectantly, Sun Yuanhua was very happy.What an honor to have sex with the emperor.

"Okay! Shoot!"

As soon as Sun Yuanhua said that, he ordered people to reload the ammunition.

boom!

The shells shot out from the muzzle, and the trees in the distance fell in response.

In terms of momentum alone, this cannon is much smaller than the Hongyi Cannon.

"If it is mounted on a car, how many people can pull it?"

"On a flat road, one person can barely pull it. If the road is rough, I don't know. It should be done by a horse."

Zhu Youjian nodded, thought for a while, and asked again:

"Did you name this cannon?"

"It hasn't been named yet, please Your Majesty give it a name!"

"Then, let's call it the Italian Cannon!"

"Italy...means good luck! Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"

Eh?Can this all be explained?You are a fucking genius!

Zhu Youjian gave a dry cough and continued to ask:

"How much silver would it cost to build an Italian gun like that?"

"Your Majesty, the total cost of an Italian cannon is around 200 taels."

"One thousand two hundred taels, make it! Let's make a hundred doors first."

"Yes! The minister leads the decree!" Sun Yuanhua was overjoyed that his research results had been affirmed by the emperor. "Zhan Yi, use the horse-drawn Italian cannon to fire a few shots, let the emperor see!"

"Okay!" The young man called Zhan Yi agreed, and then brought back a horse.

"This is?" Zhu Youjian noticed this strange face and asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, this is Mr. Xu's nephew, Chen Yujie. He also has a lot of research on artillery, so I asked him to help me make artillery."

As if to demonstrate the mobility of the Italian cannon, Chen Yujie rode a horse and pulled the cannon and flew up.

After turning around, Chen Yujie got off his horse.Adjust the angle of the Italian cannon, reload the ammunition, and the operation is proficient and smooth.After filling, the fuse was ignited.

There was only a bang.

No bombing.

But the horse was startled.

The startled horse ran away with the cannon, but just after running not far, the axle of the installed cannon broke, and the Italian cannon rolled off the car. The startled horse continued to run wildly, and turned towards Zhu Youjian.All the people present were shocked by this sudden change, even Zhu Youjian didn't react, and watched in a daze as the startled horse drove the broken car towards him.Wang Chengen instinctively stepped forward and stood in front of Zhu Youjian, but the startled horse seemed unstoppable.

At the very moment, a figure jumped out from behind Zhu Youjian, ran towards the frightened horse quickly, pulled the rein when it got close, put his feet on the ground with force, and was dragged by the horse for four or five meters. Two deep pits were plowed into the ground.With a long hiss, the war horse stopped.

Only then did everyone at the scene react, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.

Especially Chen Yujie and Sun Yuanhua, their faces turned pale with fright.He knelt on the ground in horror, unable to even speak.

"Sun Yingyuan, what do you want to do!?"

Only then did Zhu Youjian react, and he looked at Sun Yuanhua with a black line on his face.

Is this what you mean by mobility?Just firing a cannon, the car was useless, and the horse was shocked.

I wanted to get angry, but seeing the dirty Sun Yuanhua, Zhu Youjian's heart softened.

The advancement of science and technology is always inseparable from such pioneers who have the courage to explore, but I must have a long memory and cannot become a pioneer.

"Get up, I'm fine."

Everyone tremblingly got up from the ground.

"This is impossible! If every time a cannon is fired, the horses will startle once, and the enemy will not attack, and your own horses will break up the formation. How can you fight the battle? And your chariot, every cannon is shaken to pieces, Can you run long distances?"

"Your Majesty's words are very true." Seeing that Zhu Youjian didn't mean to blame, Sun Yuanhua said cautiously.

"You try to block the horse's ears when you fire the cannon. Isn't it not afraid? If the blockage is not tight, you can train it, find someone to pull the horse, and fire cannons next to him every day. If you are shocked, you will get used to it Is it?"

"Your Majesty said it very well."

Sun Yuanhua's eyes lit up, as expected of the emperor, he saw the crux of the problem at a glance.

"What's your name?"

"Long live, the younger one is called Shen Lian."

Ok?

Zhu Youjian went back, he was afraid that he would have to travel through if he stayed.Because of his words, Ma'er was tortured by Feima next.

Sun Yingyuan wanted to verify what he said.

Cannons are fired during the day, and cannons are fired at night, even when the horses are grazing.

At the beginning, the horse was still very scared, but later it was so indifferent that it was shot behind it. It should eat grass and drink water.Really achieved peace of mind, not to be surprised by favor or humiliation.

The issue of the cannon carriage was also resolved the next day.

Zhu You sent him a solid wheel with a ton of load, and now the horse pulled the cannon and took off completely!

June [-]th.

Zhu Youjian received a report from Shaanxi Governor Lu Xiangsheng.

Request for support.

Lu Xiangsheng's life has been very difficult recently. Since he took office years ago, he has been devoting himself to worrying about it.He wholeheartedly wants to govern Shaanxi well.

Corrupt officials have been killed, and wealthy gentry have been investigated.

All the food that was raided and seized was distributed to the victims, trying to be self-sufficient as much as possible and not causing trouble to the court.

But he finally couldn't hold it anymore.After all, not everyone who does business is unkind to the rich, and not everyone who is an official is corrupt, so we can't just kill someone.

After the summer harvest, he ordered the official fields in the state capitals to be planted with corn seeds sent by Zhu Youjian, totaling more than 60 mu.But the common people's private fields grow everything, mostly sorghum, with only a few corn and sweet potatoes.

Last year's drought still shows no signs of improvement, especially in Yan'an, Qingyang, Pingliang, Yulinwei, and Ningxia Sanwei.There is even a tendency to spread gradually.Lu Xiangsheng realized that he couldn't wait any longer. He had to build water conservancy projects to prepare for the long-term drought. However, water conservancy projects needed people, and people had to eat, but there was a shortage of food.

In desperation, he turned his eyes to Zhu Youjian who was far away in the capital for help.

Support water conservancy talents and food.

After reading Lu Xiangsheng's memorial, Zhu You ordered the inspector to call in Zhou Kangeng, the official of Dushui Qing, who was better at managing rivers.

"Zhou Qing, there is a severe drought in Shaanxi right now, do you have a good plan?"

After a little thought, Zhou Kangeng understood the emperor's intention for calling him here.

"Your Majesty, the control of drought is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. Planting drought-tolerant plants to consolidate water and soil, digging ditches and canals to divert water, building reservoirs, etc. to store clean water. During this period, various expenditure-saving measures can be supplemented. It is easy to say, It is quite difficult to do. Constructing water conservancy is a major event related to people's livelihood, but it is a waste of money. There are a lot of refugees in Shaanxi right now, so if we rashly increase corvee, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid how?"

"I'm afraid it will arouse public outrage."

Zhu Youjian nodded, he could have expected this situation.

"Then, what if you pay for your work?"

"Funding with labor? It is possible, but the cost may not be small..."

"This year's Huangzhuang has a bumper harvest, and the internal funds are relatively sufficient. I can transfer 300 million deniers of wheat and 100 million taels of silver. I will hand it over to Qing for dispatch. Do you have the confidence to handle this matter well?"

"Sir, I am willing to give it a try."

Zhou Kanggeng was very excited when he heard this. He knew very well that the cost of building water conservancy and the food for tens of thousands of people is an astronomical figure.Right now, Shaanxi has everything, but there is no shortage of hungry folk husbands.Once food is settled, everything is no longer a problem.

"Okay! Naqing will start recruiting farmers in the capital tomorrow to transport grain to Shaanxi. I will send [-] soldiers from the capital camp to escort them along the way."

"Sir, take the lead!"

After Zhou Kangeng left, Zhu Youjian settled the score again.

There were nearly 3000 million taels of silver in his hand before, but these days, more than 270 million taels of side pay have been paid.Bi Ziyan wanted to leave 100 million taels, 10 taels were allocated to Bi Maokang for making firecrackers, 20 taels to Sun Yuanhua for making cannons, 10 taels to the research institute, 10 taels to the machinery factory, and 20 taels to Sun Yuanhua.The military academy invested 50 taels in advance, and the monthly salary of the Yongwei Battalion was tens of thousands of taels.This week Kan Geng had to take away another 100 million taels.

This is not counting the various expenses up and down in the palace.

This money seems to be quite a lot, why is it so careless?

No!

There has to be an event.
