Chapter 237: Worrying hairline

Hearing Zhang Su's words, Zhao Cong's heart skipped a beat. Putting such a weapon in his corps, as long as he has the ability, he can bring out the strongest direct line army in the country. With military power, his prince will no longer be an empty shelf who is a half-way monk, and his feet will really stand firm, and then he will convince all the officials of the court to be crowned prince again.

Zhao Cong couldn't help but admire and appreciate Zhang Suxin infinitely. He admired her for being able to create such a weapon in the world despite her immortality, and was grateful for her heart of cultivation and support.

Although Chong Han wanted this gun, the Chong family was from a family of generals. He had lived for decades and was used to the not-so-high status of generals. At this time, how can it be good to fight with King Yan who will become the emperor in the future? If the other party is also a military general, he will fight for it.

Chong Han only said: "If you want me to play, in addition to King Yan's equipment, please get me a few doors first."

Chong Lan and Li Bilian are loading bullets under the guidance of the test gunners, and they are learning to write, draw, and calculate bullets on the ground.

They clicked the lead of the cannon, and with a bang, the cannonball hit the target area, and the two couldn't help laughing.

Chong Han said: "If the opponent's heavy cavalry comes in formation and fires a cannon, they must also suffer heavy casualties."

Zhang Sudao: "Artillery is the **** of war. However, the artillery's close defense ability is very poor. If it is facing the light cavalry who are extremely mobile and like to disturb the enemy, the artillery has a great defect. The cost of fighting a single cavalryman is too high. When the cannon is fired, gold is worth 10,000 taels. This is impossible. To deal with the light cavalry army, a tactic combining light artillery and infantry formation is to be used. tribe."

If in modern warfare, a missile is launched only to fight one enemy soldier - even the smallest missile, no country can afford to fight this kind of war.

Chong Han sighed: "The county master is really a god!"

Zhang Su secretly said: What kind of **** is this, in Yin Li's life, although the imperial double jade was too much for the show, she was trapped by pregnancy and children, but she also fought a little in the later battles. However, in Li Canghai's life, the practice of using artillery was less. She really didn't know that there are rivers and lakes in the gods, and even the Taoist ancestors who incarnate the Tao of Heaven also have rivers and lakes.

Great world!

Seeing the girls having fun, Zhang Su smiled and said, "Do you want to be bombarded more often?" After asking the question, she suddenly felt that it was a bit rude to ask the two girls these words.

Chong Lan smiled and said, "This thing is also as fun as catching monsters."

Li Bilian studied with Bai Suzhen since she was a child. Seeing that Bai Suzhen is in charge of so many things in the rear, she knows that to complete a new thing, laying the foundation and preparing and coming up with the regulations are the most important.

Li Bilian smiled and said, "Does Shishu want Shishu Lan and me to make a charter for artillery operations?"

Zhang Su smiled and said, "The little girl is quite clever. King Yan and Duke Yi have no time to do this work in person. It will take some time. The artillery must also be maneuvered, and the gun body and shells must be maintained and transported long-distance. There must be specific operating regulations, and the regulations must be detailed in practice.”

Girls are really more careful about the regulations in this matter. First, there are preliminary regulations, so that when the army is equipped, it will not be blinded, and then the army only needs to make improvements in practice.

Details are the devil!

Zhang Su has traveled through the ancient times a lot, and has to take up his career, and he deeply understands this.

When it comes to the application, maintenance and transportation of military equipment, one can't help but think of modern India, but it fails in the details. Indians are too optimistic. That will be paid for with money and blood.

Li Bilian said: "If Madam doesn't dislike it, I will do it, but I am worried that Madam will no longer be around."

Zhang Su smiled and said, "You're not afraid of suffering, and I'm willing to worry about it less."

Li Bilian said: "Madam will always send a few people to help me, what's the pain?"

Zhao Cong saw that Li Bilian had Zhang Su's trust and knew her practical needs, so he didn't dare to underestimate her. Chong Lan couldn't help thinking: I learned a lot of martial arts in the mountains, even the art of war, but these details are not as good as Bilian.

...

He said that Chong Ming was Chong Lan's third nephew, but he was a few years older than Chong Lan. As soon as he entered this big factory, he was very excited.

He is not good at writing or martial arts, but he also loves to paint. Unfortunately, he does not like painting of landscapes, flowers and birds, but woodworking design. He is very curious about the legendary Zhuge Liang's wooden horses.

But the artillery he saw today, he found that this kind of thing is no less magical than the wooden cow and the horse. This is a completely different miracle from the niece's flying over the wall, which gives ordinary people the ability to be like a god.

Chong Han will bring him here, because Chong Han knows that Zhang Su also has the ability to "extraordinarily lewd skills", and Zhang Su never looks down on those. She herself brought more than a thousand kilograms of poison to create the first largest in the dynasty. win.

If San Ziwen does not become a martial artist, there is no chance that he will be able to achieve great use in others. Maybe Zhang Su will guide him so that he will not become a waste and fall into the lower ranks.

However, Chong Ming kept silent, never interrupting the conversation between his father and Zhang Su, and could not please her to show himself.

When Qingfeng and Mingyue took them along a stone bridge, Zhong Ming saw the factory building opposite the river, and there were five huge water wheels outside the factory building.

Chong Han knew that the third son's words were the most unpleasant, and said, "Ming'er, if you have something to think about, talk about it."

Zhong Ming said, "It's so big, so big! Is there still rice grinding here?"

Qingfeng said: "This is not a place to grind rice."

Zhong Ming said, "What is that for?"

Qingfeng said: "Didn't you just shoot a cannon? Cannons need shells to feed, and this is where the projectiles are made. It's cool to fire a cannon, but it's very troublesome to make a thief."

Steam engine power is still far from attainable under current conditions, and even if it is invented, it will take some time to use it. But water-wheel machinery was not unusual at this time, and there were many water-wheel-powered mills in ancient times.

Everyone crossed the bridge and entered the factory building. The workers in the factory were still working overtime watching the shock machinery. Zhang Su told the workers not to be too polite, but to just do things.

Seeing that the workers carefully placed the soft iron workpieces into the mold, started the machine, and the thunder of the mold driven by the water wheel fell, and the soft iron workpieces were pressed and formed into a cone with a hole in the middle of the head.

This is a hollow warhead, and a through hole is punched along the central axis of the warhead, so that almost all the air near the front end of the round tube can flow through it. Compared with the traditional solid warhead, the head shock resistance and tail vortex resistance of the hollow projectile are greatly reduced.

This makes the bullet with the hollow warhead have excellent characteristics such as high speed, high hit accuracy and strong ability to penetrate the target.

Then inlaid with a cylindrical bullet body made of steel, a wooden bullet holder, and a fuze, it is a hollow bullet, which is also made by her after several experiments and research.

This kind of projectile also requires double ignition of the gun body and the cannonball. First, the cannonball fuse is fired, and then the gun's fuze is fired. To surpass this technology cannot be accomplished in a short time.

The wooden receptacle was only invented in practice in the late eighteenth century, which is not difficult. Because of the current technology and the quality of steel, it is very likely that the blooming bullet will not be able to withstand the pressure of gunpowder and explode in the barrel, which is very dangerous. Even Napoleon didn't use the shells very much during the battle, because the technology at that time was immature, and the iron in Zhang Su's gun barrel was manganese steel, which had a strong impact ability, so Zhang Su dared to use it.

The bullet has a wooden bullet rest, which can also play a buffering role.

In addition, because the mass of wood is lower than that of metal, the overall center of gravity of the bullet moves forward. During the launch, according to the top-heavy "badminton principle", the ballistic trajectory can be more accurate.

These things alone are the most advanced technologies that Zhang Su can only come up with right now when he is busy.

Qingfeng and Mingyue introduced them to the manufacturing process, and also said that according to the current coordination of various departments, when the materials can keep up, they can only make up to twenty rounds a day.

Chong Han said: "Then this round of ammunition alone is more expensive than a pair of heavy cavalry and iron armor of the Di people."

Mingyue said: "Can the Di people's kidnapper's horse iron armor be able to do this? If this shot goes down, dozens of martial arts masters will be useless. Of course, this is expensive. If it is a siege, you can use cheaper solid bullets. , found a large number of enemy formations, and opened the bombs."

Zhang Su said, "General Chong asked how much you want?"

Mingyue said: "Without two hundred taels, my labor and cost cannot be spent."

Chong Han said, "County Lord, this is too expensive. It's burning money."

Zhang Su said: "How can a country's sharp weapon be cheap? Others can't buy it if they have money. Two hundred taels is a conscientious price. If the court does not use it, I can make money by changing it into a water mill and flour mill. The soldiers will bleed a lot."

Chong Han also knew that Zhang Su brought him to see it because he wanted to find allies to promote the application of new weapons, and when he got funding from the imperial court, there would be less empty talk. Now the court is more lively than a few years ago. There is some noise behind her as a woman who has dominated the government for many years. Now that there is no trouble, the strength is too poor. The emperor knows that the newcomers are unreliable and never listen to their words.

Chong Han said: "Okay, I understand."

At the end of the visit to the factory, Chong Ming was still watching the simple operations of the factory workers, and Chong Han remembered his story.

After leaving the factory together, Chong Han said: "County Lord, my third child is a bit dull, but he can also run errands in the County Lord's Mansion. And this brother Hu next to me not only writes good articles, but also uses it in the world. man of."

Zhang Su looked at Chong Ming and the scribe who had been silent and followed Chong Han, and secretly said: It turned out that Chong Han was here to recommend someone to be an official.

But I don't think Chong Han is like the kind of person who is keen to sell officials. With his status and the reality that there are many vacancies in the court, it is not difficult for him to really give his son a military position, and he can write a good article. People who don't need to be an official like her.

Zhang Su and Chong Han are regarded as "friends of the past year". On the surface, Zhang Su looks a few decades younger, but Zhang Su is two generations older than his sister, so everyone counts.

Zhang Suqi said, "Don't Mr. Chong and Mr. Hu plan to take the imperial examination?"

Mr. Hu said: "My surname is Hu, and I have a single name and one character. I can't afford the word "Mr. County Master". Last spring, the villain was in the period of filial piety for his grandfather. I brought it down to see the county master."

Chong Han said: "I don't want to let people go, but Brother Hu is always going to be an official, and he will stay with me for a long time. The county master is trying to reform taxes and set up customs. Brother Hu is good at accounting, and is by my side as a martial artist. It is only a small use, and it will be of great use in the future by the side of the county master."

Zhang Su really lacks financial talents, but there are many people who are good at "applied mathematics" but not good at "language". In this era, as long as they are not admitted to the jinshi, it is difficult for them to enter the high-level. Listening to him saying that this person missed last year's Spring Festival because of Zu filial piety, it can be seen that at least he has a reputation as a scholar. Because of the vacancy in the court, only the scholar can participate in the two scientific examinations.

Zhang Sudao: "Since General Chong said so, would you like to come to my house and serve as a long history for a period of time?"

Chang Shi is a staff official, equivalent to the secretary general.

In this dynasty, only the Prince's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion had such official positions, but no one said it was inappropriate for the Protectorate County Lord, who was in the government affairs of Sheping Zhang, the right servant of the minister, to set up a long history in the mansion. She didn't set it up before because she used Cen Biqing and her disciples more, and now she uses Li Bilian and other juniors.

Of course, these disciples and younger generations can not be granted imperial status, but the new scholars are different.

Hu Dong said: "How dare you accept this official position when you first meet the county master?"

Zhang Su smiled and said: "Chong Lao said that you have the ability, I believe him, then you have seven points even if you are not very capable, I expect you to have seven points of talent, I use it well, and I can use you eight points, which is not bad. Now. If you have eight points of ability, and I can use ten points, then everyone will be happy. If I can't use you or can't use you well, it is also my problem that you receive official positions and white-collar salaries in vain, so you don't have to be burdened."

Hearing this, Hu Dong not only felt a sense of spring breeze, but also made him not dare to slack off. He thought that his ability in front of the county master would only be ridiculous.

But seeing that she has a heroic bearing and can create such a powerful weapon for the country, the protector of the country does not rely on martial arts and appearance alone to govern as a woman.

Hu Dong said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Zhang Su sees Zhong Ming who doesn't like to talk, but his eyes are very straight, but compared to the outstanding children of the general family, his martial arts should not be high.

Zhang Sudao: "The people who do things around me are mostly women who are men and men who are animals. General Chong is willing to sacrifice his son, and I will not be polite to Young Master Chong."

Chong Han said: "If he can learn something from the county master, it will be enough for him to benefit for a lifetime."

At noon, Zhang Su took everyone to lunch in the factory canteen, as well as working meals. Chong Han is also a famous general of the Celestial Dynasty. When he was in the barracks, he had the same style of going through hardships and hardships as the soldiers.

Canteen food is not bad for this era, and each person can also have two pieces of mutton, one spoon of mutton soup, one spoon of lamb offal soup, one plate of vegetables, two bowls of rice or two flatbreads.

Zhang Su finished eating the two flatbreads, wiped his hands, and asked Qingfeng and Mingyue to deliver the New Year's goods.

Zhang Su is in a high position, and Zhuangzi has a lot of income and salary, but there are only a few servants in the house except for the disciples. Zhang Tianxin joined the Yue family army and has his own salary. It is useless for her to keep things, and have them transported to the factory to divide the New Year's goods according to contribution and position.

On this day, Zhao Cong saw Zhang Su's ability and attitude towards civilian employees more truly. Goodbye, she is deeply loved by his disciples and factory workers. That kind of love from the bottom of his heart is different from flattering. He also Can't help but think a lot.

Zhao Cong felt that he had been in a state between self-satisfaction and inferiority since he went down the mountain. He is a disciple of Guigu, and he is also confident that he has some skills, so he is self-satisfied; but he is a distant clan, and he has no foundation when he is the king of Yan, and the women he likes one after another refuse to make him feel inferior. Only women like Han Ying and Zhe Yuelan would be infatuated with him, which made him between complacency and inferiority.

But what kind of person is Zhang Su? She is the beloved wife of Yuanshi Tianzun, the actual authority in the Three Realms, and a real immortal, but her heroics, laughter and scolding are natural, and her friendship with mortals is also down-to-earth. Even in the face of the craftsmen at the lowest level, she still loves nature and smiles out of sincerity, and there is absolutely no complacent smile of superiority in terms of ability and identity.

Zhao Cong's heart of a young boy based on his fame and appearance is also breaking down. A young man who went down the mountain after going up the mountain, who would not have a second year in secondary school? Think about Chu Liuxiang, who was still in middle school when she was in her twenties and thirties.

Zhao Cong secretly looked at Chong Lan and Li Bilian, the two girls who had rejected him, and really didn't pay much attention to him.

Li Bilian was riding a horse, talking to Zhang Su from time to time; Chong Lan was silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhao Cong also doesn't know who he likes, how beautiful it would be if they all married him, this is a common **** for an ordinary teenager when he sees a beautiful, powerful girl, but it's only a momentary thought. it broke.

Not to mention that both of them married him, none of them liked him, if he could marry one of them, it would be a great blessing.

He wanted to marry Chong Lan because she was the first girl he liked and worked together. The reason she wanted to marry Li Bilian was because she was also a mortal. She rejected him not because there was a better immortal path to choose from. Her views on the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong made him feel that her perspective was very special.

They are all excellent and good girls, and they should be married like this.

...

In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year is approaching. This year's Chinese New Year, Zhang Su felt lonely as snow. People close to her also enjoy Qingfeng, Mingyue and a few maids who are still in her house for Chinese New Year.

Zhang Tianxin, who celebrated the Chinese New Year together last year, was training in the Hebei Army and could not leave the barracks for no reason. Cen Biqing and Xuelu are now working in the intelligence department, and they can't come back without spells. Xue Ji accompanied the emperor and Jing An Emperor Ji in the palace. Of course Li Bilian wants to accompany Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong. It will take years for Hu Dong to come to the county master's mansion to be the chief history officer, and she is not familiar with him.

At the twenty-eighth of the year, Li Shun braved the heavy snow that had just fallen and came to the door with four disciples. He had been staying in Maoshan Jianguan and operating Maoshan Dojo. Now Li Shun is well-known in the south and even in the world. big.

Zhang Su and Li Shun also knew the basics and knew each other from Weiqiang. They first entertained them in the lobby, and Qingfeng and Mingyue also met their masters.

Seeing that the maid served hot tea, Zhang Su said, "Hurry up and drink tea to ward off the cold."

Li Shun secretly said: Shishu still thinks I am an ordinary person back then? I'm not afraid of the cold now.

But Li Shun didn't remind her. After he had a sip of tea with a few younger disciples, he said, "I haven't seen my uncle for many years, and my uncle is still the same."

Zhang Su smiled and said, "How did you build the Maoshan School?"

Li Shun sighed: "There are many people who want to go to the mountains to worship God, but there are very few people who really have the heart of Taoism. And the people who have rooted feet to cultivate immortals are less than eleven, and most of them have to teach them to read characters first."

Zhang Su sighed: "I have a great wish to start a sect in Maoshan. All these things are left to you, and I really can't get away."

Li Shun said: "But you also paid, the Maoshan School respects Sanqing, you pay, I contribute, and it is fair. It's just that we can't compete with Buddhism, and the Guanyin Temple you built in Yangzhou is more lively than our Maoshan School. "

Zhang Su smiled, worshiping Guanyin, reciting the Heart Sutra, and even women who are not very literate can follow the nun to start blindly reciting.

But being a Taoist priest is a technical job, which is too high and cold.

Taoist priests need to know gossip and arithmetic, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and wine, kendo, medical theory, alchemy, astronomy and geography, and feng shui. When things are done, go away and hide your merit and fame.

These thresholds make many mortals desperate, even Li Shundu will only have a small part.

Zhang Sudao: "It would be good to pass the Xuanmen on."

Li Shun said, "Should my disciples be tested by Uncle Shi?"

Zhang Su shook his head and said, "Don't be busy first, let's settle down and talk about it. By the way, what happened to Du Yin and the others?"

Li Shun said: "The business is getting bigger and bigger, and their children are at the age of marriage. I heard Mo Yun say that I am very worried."

Zhang Su understands: Children of half-demon blood have some super powers and live longer than ordinary mortals. If they combine with mortals, they will also be half harmful to mortals. Their children are different from Xu Shilin, Xu Xian was not transformed into a half-demon by Bai Suzhen, and the children born are human.

Zhang Su said: "Then it's better not to marry randomly."

Li Shun said: "Du Yin and Mo Yun think so too. They want their children to have a future, and they originally planned to send three children to Maoshan to become Taoist priests. As a result, Master Du disagreed, and the two of them were not good at sharing the inside story. Tell me, I will ask you to ask me a letter.”

The Du family is the largest cotton textile merchant and also has a semicolon in Beijing, but Du Yin dare not send the trust to others. In case someone reads it, the content of the letter is too exciting.

Zhang Su couldn't help scratching her head, she didn't know that being a good person once helped the **** and the real love bond, and then she had to take care of the marriage of the half-demon child. Because this is the first of its kind in this world, there is no half-demon circle formed in the society like in the previous life, and modern half-demon talk of love and marriage can be solved in the circle.

At that time, I thought I was very smart, but Zhang Su was a little dumbfounded at this time.

Zhang Su said, "Haven't they met one or two demon girls in the south?"

Li Shun said: "Ordinary banshees, who can transform into humanoids in their teens? Only half-demons born to human mothers are born with humanoids."

Zhang Su secretly said: Du Yin is a half-demon who was transformed by humans, and gave birth to a humanoid baby. I am an earth immortal cultivated by human beings, why did I give birth to a "black egg" after nine years of pregnancy?

Thinking of Zhang Tianxin's birth position, Zhang Su was puzzled, and only blamed Yuanshi.

Zhang Su looked at Li Shun and said, "Even if a teenage demon has spiritual consciousness, he has no magic power, and he can't even transform into a human form. "

"Yeah, so the serious demon clan and the teenage half-demon who have passed the catastrophe are also 'the door is not right, the house is not right'? How many people can overcome these obstacles? This marriage is a big problem, and I am also in the world. I can't think of anyone who can be the matchmaker for the third son of the Du family, except for the uncle."

With a suffocated expression, Zhang Su sighed: "Okay, it's almost New Year's Eve, you don't want to scare me like that."

Li Shun said, "How dare I scare Uncle Shi. I think Du Yin and the others really have no choice. Even if they don't want to disturb Uncle Shi, they have to come for the sake of the child."

Zhang Su said: "You go and tell Master Du that they have a relationship with Taoism, why not?"

"The Du family originally only had a daughter, Du Yin was a young girl, Mo Yun joined the family, and their children inherited the incense of the Du family. At this time, their three sons were so grown up, there was no reason to go to Du Yin's sisters to ask the children to change their surnames. ."

Zhang Suyi was sweating profusely, worrying in advance that her hairline would be getting higher and higher in the future, and her hair was almost falling out, could it not be taller? Who would have thought of this at the time? It wasn't like this in the past. The only person in the world who can cheat Zhang Su is Zhang Su herself.
