After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

Yongding seven years, summer solstice.

In the martial arts arena in Daying on the outskirts of Beijing, a grand military parade is going on in full swing.

This is already the third batch of firearms developed by Taifu Han Mochu since the establishment of the Firearms Bureau in Dazhou.

Among the new batch of firearms, fire is the most widely used!The gun naturally comes first.

The third generation fire!The gun abandoned the hollow bamboo tube of the first generation, and the matchlock used for the fuze of the second generation.

This batch of fire!The guns are of different lengths and styles.

The elders are two or three feet long, and the short ones are only one foot long.It is divided into single tube and double tube, made of metal, the inside is connected, the bottom is closed, there is a curved rod on one side, and a half-moon-shaped clasp spring is installed below.There is a safety buckle wrench on the top of the wooden butt, which can be fired after the buckle is pulled, and there is a metal ring at the front end of the barrel for aiming.It makes up for the shortcomings of the previous firearms, which are easy to fire and hurt people, and poor accuracy.

The brood is also changed from the original crushed stone and lead block to a hollow metal tube filled with gunpowder that is sharpened like a shuttle head, or a solid lead block that matches the barrel of the gun. Every shot!Up to six nests can be assembled in the gun, which greatly improves the efficiency of filling ammunition during combat.

Besides these small and lightweight fires!In addition to guns, a new type of siege fire appeared in the new batch of firearms!gun.

A new style of siege fire!The cannon is about nine feet high and the barrel is two feet long. There are twelve wooden wheels underneath for pushing. The wheel body can be disassembled and replaced with a corner wheel suitable for consignment and climbing mountains. There is a lifting platform below to lift the cannon by itself. The height of the barrel can also be changed to aim at the direction.

This gun is specially used to deal with the high walls built by Luocha, Lanzhu, Dupan, Fusu and other countries to defend against the siege of Dazhou firearms.

At the same time, there is a short door fire!Small chariots with cannons, flame-style siege chariots that can fly quickly on various lands, and hexagonal armor that can be assembled and transformed at will, and short horseback armor specially used for arming horses.

In the stands, the two monarchs and ministers were dressed in military uniforms, and each held a binoculars in their hands to watch the situation on the martial arts arena.

The little prince, Gu Yucheng, also put on the first piece of silver-clad light armor in his life.

This light armor was a birthday gift from his aunt, Princess Qingzhao, and he has never been willing to wear it.

Today, in order to accompany his two fathers into the military camp to watch martial arts, he has been rolling all over the floor since early in the morning to grind Shanggong Wu to find out this silver armor for him to put on.

The summer solstice is sweltering, with Yinjia upper body, Xiaotuanzi is sweating profusely, but he still enjoys it.

Sitting next to Xiao Yucheng was Prince Ning's son in a green shirt. The previous demon king was frightened by the sound of the rumbling gunfire, and hugged his younger brother, too frightened to open his eyes.The excited Xiao Yucheng could only cover his elder brother's ears with both hands while cheering happily.

After the martial arts performance was over, Xiao Yucheng couldn't wait to drag Prince Ning's son to the bottom of the stands, and stroked the magical weapons used in the martial arts performance just now.

Xiaotuanzi's strength is limited, shield armor, long!Guns, chariots, and the like, he could only touch and see. He picked a single-barreled pistol that he could handle for a long time, and ran to Yafu all the way up and down with it in his hands. In front of Han Mochu: "Yafu Yafu, teach me to let this go!"

Han Mochu smiled and bowed, picked up Xiao Yucheng and put him in the crook of his arms, holding the child's little hand to level the body of the gun, and hit him three times in succession.

"Great! Yafu is amazing! Yafu is amazing!" Sitting in the crook of Han Mochu's arms, Xiaotuanzi applauded repeatedly.

"Cheng'er, look at your father." The king Gu Xiu who was at the side also became interested, and picked out a pair of long sleeves!With the gun, the safety of the bolt gun was released, eyes opened and blinked, aiming at the red dot at the bull's-eye with the ring of the front sight, pulling the mechanism on the butt of the gun, and hitting the bull's-eye with just one click.

"Wow! Father, this shot is so far away!" Xiao Yucheng hugged Han Mochu's neck and clapped even more excitedly.

Seeing this scene, Prince Ning's son Yuheng was also envious.

Gathering up the courage to stand on tiptoe, he gently tugged at the hem of Gu Xiu's military uniform: "Uncle Huang, Heng'er wants to shoot too."

Gu Xiu looked down at the person, tried his best to be as amiable as possible, bent down and held Yu Heng in his arms, and asked the person to hold the butt of the gun in his hand.

In the afternoon, Gu Xiu and Han Mochu discussed military and state affairs in the second half of the year with several first-rank generals in the barracks.

Two brothers of the same age, Yu Heng and Yu Cheng, rolled and ran wildly in the mud and sand in the military camp.

Playing until dusk, the two children were so dirty that they turned into mud monkeys, and the true colors of their clothes could not be seen.

There was no change of clothes for the children in the barracks, so the two little guys had no choice but to let the two children go back dirty.

On the way back, Xiao Yucheng, who was exhausted from playing wildly all day, lay on Gu Xiu's lap and fell asleep soundly.

In the dream, he became a great hero like his father and Yafu, riding a tall horse and a metal chariot, galloping majestically across the battlefield.

After waking up from the dream, he was carried into the bathtub by Mrs. Wu from Shanggong, and he was rubbed with hot water over and over again until his whole body turned red, crying: "Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu, I was wrong, I won't be in the mud from now on. I'm rolling, can you rub me lightly?"

"Little ancestor, why don't you wash it when you're so dirty?" Shanggong Wu rolled up her sleeves, held a towel and rubbed Xiaotuanzi's neck hard.

"The soldiers in the barracks are all so dirty, my father said that this is called a general who doesn't care about trifles!" Xiao Yucheng grinned and tried to climb out of the bathtub.

"Great general? Aunt Wu doesn't know what informality means. Aunt Wu only knows that your Yafu was a great general back then, and his military achievements were terrifying. Your Highness, can you see when Taifu Han was so dirty?" Xiao Yucheng struggled to no avail, and then She was pushed back by Wu Shi, and continued to wash in the water.

In the warm pavilion where the emperor and ministers live, there is solid ice for cooling off in midsummer, and two exquisitely shaped copper wind wheels are placed on both sides of the ice.

A plate of brightly colored fruits is placed in the middle of the table case on top of the table full of products.

Since the rise of Dayi Road, the whole country has become a merchant, and the whole country has become rich. After the people are rich, these fresh fruits that were once extremely difficult to see in Beijing have become commonplace now.

There are not many official documents today, and most of them are about the flood control situation of dykes and dams in this flood season.

Gu Xiu finished reading the excerpt early, and sat next to Han Mochu to shake the wind wheel with others.

Han Mochu is much busier here than Gu Xiu.

After returning from the barracks, he ordered Yuan Bao to bring the treasury accounts from the beginning of last year to today from the household department, plus a four-foot long abacus.

Now that businesses are flourishing everywhere, the tax collected by the whole country must be in the tens of millions every year. These four-foot-long abacus are also tailor-made for this matter.

"Zi Ran, why did you think about checking the accounts?" Gu Xiu looked at the numbers on the accounts and Han Mochu's rarely frowned eyebrows and asked in puzzlement.

"Your Majesty has long said that His Majesty only spends money and does not make money. The annual income of the national treasury is several times higher than before, but Your Majesty knows how much money is spent every year just to run schools for those school-age children? How much money will it cost to pave the bridge? And how much money will it cost for the annual maintenance costs of post roads, embankments, etc.? In addition, the good medical hall, orphanage, and nursing home that His Majesty intends to build nationwide a few days ago, all of these need How much silver?"

"This..." Gu Xiu thought about it in his heart, but he couldn't come up with a general idea: "Didn't Zi Ran say that these won't cost much money?"

"These don't cost much money, but have you forgotten, Your Majesty, that there is also the cost of military pay and court salary? This firearms reform, after the promotion of the whole army, will be a huge amount of expenditure. After the military expenditure is allocated , and after excluding the annual necessary hoarding, there is at most 4000 million taels left on the books of the treasury." Han Mochu flicked his fingers on the abacus beads, not letting go of every penny. In the end, an astonishing number was shown to Gu Xiu: "Oh, yes, there are also ores such as copper, iron, phosphorus, and nitrate used in the manufacture of firearms. The imperial court also purchased a large number of Kunlun slaves from Shura, Ganbi and other places. The silver will have to wait for use in the second half of the year.”

"More than 4000 million taels? This...how...is this all that's left?" Gu Xiu looked at the number in front of him, somewhat incredulous.

It is clear that so much money has been earned after doing business in various places, how can all the money disappear in the blink of an eye?Could it be that he has grown legs and can run away?

"Your Majesty promotes business, and the people of the world are so rich. When the people are rich, the country is rich. When the country is rich, Your Majesty will spend more money on the people." Han Mochu skillfully put his abacus back in place: "Oh, Your Majesty has never done anything. The prince has been like this since he was a penny, and he has to post it outside, and he doesn't know how to keep two cents in his hand."

"Master, you won't watch me starve to death, will you?" Gu Xiu put his hands on the man's shoulders and whispered against the side of the man's face.

"Your Majesty only needs to call on his master since he was a child, to ask for something." Han Mochu straightened his back and let someone hang on his body: "I am afraid of you, and I know that I will be soft-hearted, but I will indulge Your Majesty every time. "

"Master." Gu Xiu stepped back from Han Mochu's back, taking advantage of no one holding his sleeves, "You must have something, right?"

"Yes, I have made plans."

"What is Ziran going to do?"

"Selling firearms." Han Mochu replied warmly.

"Selling firearms?" Gu Xiu frowned in confusion: "Didn't Zi Ran say that firearms are the lifeblood of the country, and that they must never be given to others?"

"The firearms that I want to sell are the first generation of firearms that have been idled in the warehouses of Daying on the outskirts of Beijing. The replacement of firearms is so fast, even if there are these among the surrounding countries, it will not endanger the peace of my Great Zhou. .In this way, military expenditure can at least be self-sufficient in the military.”

"Taifu Han really is Taifu Han, he really never lets me worry about it."

"Whoever makes this subject is born to work hard, he didn't know how much money he owed His Majesty in his previous life, and he has to work so hard to repay the debt in this life." Han Mochu sighed seriously.

"Don't pay that Ziran back now, save some and pay it back in the next life."
