Daming: Let you do your best to manage, do you go to health?
Chapter 100 This is the most important weapon of the country!
Chapter 100 This is the most important weapon of the country!
Seeing the excited expression of the old man, Zhu Zhanji smiled and shook his head.
My old man, seeing this firearm is closer than his own grandson.
Besides the old man, the dolls born by the old man also inherited the fine tradition of the old man, and when they were with the old man, they moved faster than one.
Only Zhu Zhanji's father, Zhu Gaochi, was out of breath because he was too fat to move his legs. In less cases.
However, when his father Zhu Gaochi passed by his side, he still couldn't help frowning and accusing him: "You kid, just play around with your grandfather, it's hard to get some money, give some benefits to the common people, and pay salaries to the officials. Alright, fight, fight, you know it's a war when you wake up, you grandpa and grandson, just mess around!"
For the old man Zhu Gaochi, the court used more money, and although the northern border has been harassed, isn't this a normal thing? Since ancient times, in every dynasty, which dynasty would not have such a thing , Send some soldiers, call the generals and clean them up. Why do you have to go to the emperor's personal conquest every time, and go to war as soon as you set off, mobilizing the troops and mobilizing the people, wasting the people and wasting money.
Will not live at all.
Seeing his father Zhu Gaochi frowning and looking sad, Zhu Zhanji heaved a long sigh.
He secretly said that what his father said was correct, as a big country, it would gather all the power of the whole country to fight against foreign enemies. It seemed majestic, but he knew what was going on in his heart.
The prestige is out, and the name is also out.
But what is behind it is the unspeakable misery of the common people and the traumas everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.
This trauma was not caused by others, it was caused by the imperial court collecting taxes for the war and forcibly suppressing it.
Recall that Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Li Guang of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who sealed the wolf as Xu
In the entire history of China's foreign wars, it can be counted on the fingers, but what kind of life do the people in the country live.
Now his grandfather Yongle's generation, so why not.
He is strong because of his grandfather's decades of hard work and accumulated national strength.
Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business ensured the Ming Dynasty's satisfaction in basic agriculture and food.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanji cannot deny his father's attitude.
But on the other hand, his grandfather was right.
The north has been the first enemy of the Chinese Dynasty since ancient times, the Xiongnu, Khitan, to Mongolia, and then to the current Tatars and Oirats.
In the future, Wala will reach the gate of the capital.
The people in the north are too much of a threat to China.
This period can be said to be the weakest time for Mongolia in the north. Since the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, its nobles fled to the north and were divided into many forces.
In fact, the old man also knows the situation in China, and he is more aware of his father Zhu Gaochi's thoughts.
It is clearer that he can no longer fight against the Ming Dynasty.
But what to do.
Don't fight?
When Mongolia in the north has gone through decades, hundreds of years, it doesn't even need these things. In a few years, such a powerful person will emerge and unify the north, and immediately become a powerful enemy that can threaten the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the old man's idea is very simple, take advantage of his illness and kill him.
It doesn't matter whether he wants to build a great cause, or he loves to fight, and it doesn't matter if he enlists the generals of the Peking University.
As a grandfather, he has fought all his life and cannot leave disasters to his descendants.
His father Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out the noble forces in the country when the Ming Dynasty was established for future generations, abolished the Zhongshu Province, and further concentrated power.
These are not accumulating virtue for the descendants of future generations.
If it is said that his father Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't care about future generations, does he need to abolish the Zhongshu Province and punish the nobles?
No need.
Zhu Yuanzhang lived for a day, and those generals and nobles would not dare to rebel.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang is the ancestor of the rebellion, why do they think they can fight with their elder brother who took the lead in the rebellion.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang could conquer the world with only a broken bowl, but now he controls the world, but you think you can rebel against him?
Therefore, Zhu Di also understands his father Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
And he, Zhu Di, is also learning from his father Zhu Yuanzhang.
His father cleaned up the inside, so he, Zhu Di, will clean up the outside for the Ming Dynasty!
Knowing all this, what can Zhu Zhanji do.
Both dad and grandpa were right.
Neither can refute.
However, Zhu Zhanji is still a little selfish.
The later generation Qing Chui used the territory of the Ming Dynasty to disgust his ancestors all day long, but he didn't know that without him, the Ming Dynasty, you would not dare to boast that his Chinese inheritance has not been broken in future generations.
Of the four ancient civilizations, only China has been passed down to this day.
What pretends to be the civilization of the country.
Without the nail of the Ming Dynasty, the two hundred and seventy-six-year Guozuo was firmly nailed to the history of China, allowing the backbone of the Chinese nation to stand upright.
Besides, you are the only inheritance of the four ancient countries so far, then it is not bragging about you, it is disgusting you.
Therefore, not only must this battle be fought, but it must also be fought beautifully!
Knock out those knees that can't be hardened by Qing Chui!
If you can't stand up, lie down!
"Stinky boy!"
The old man in the distance shouted, and Zhu Zhanji quickly put away his thoughts and rushed over.
The gate of the arsenal.
Many craftsmen are experimenting with the newly developed artillery.
However, it is not so much experimenting with artillery as it is experimenting with new types of shells.
Like the firecrackers, the artillery of the Yongle period was still in its infancy.
But even so, the firearms controlled by the Ming army are still at the current world-class level.
To put it simply, its principle is exactly the same as that of a firecracker.
It's just changed from the one used by individual sergeants to the form of a cannon.
It is also through the explosion of gunpowder in the medicine pool, causing the impact force, causing the ammunition in the barrel to be launched along the barrel.
These ammunition can also be iron blocks, stones, lead bullets and so on.
It's just that the caliber is larger, the range is farther, and the power is also greater.
But such firearms have great limitations after all.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanji tried to improve on the basis of the original artillery, and the improvement idea given was also very simple. It was also improved by Zhu Zhanji through his understanding of the previous artillery.
But it is not so much the improvement of artillery as the improvement of ammunition.
Because the launching device of the artillery has actually been used as an igniter and an aiming tool to a large extent.
For example, the cannon barrel can make the shells launch in a predetermined direction.
But obviously, just relying on the explosion in the barrel, the impact force produced is not enough to increase the power of the artillery.
Regarding this point, Zhu Zhanji's deepest memory is a war TV series in the Qing Dynasty.
During the naval battle between the Qing Dynasty and foreign countries.
When a shell from the Qing Dynasty fell on a foreign warship, all the foreign soldiers on the warship panicked and lay down on the ground.
However, after waiting for a long time, the shell did not sound or explode.
It was finally discovered that the shell was simply an iron ball.
There is no explosion at all.
This is the memory of Zhu Zhanji when he was a child. The feeling of being completely behind in technology has made him unforgettable for decades.
And the artillery of the Ming Dynasty is actually the same. Although it is a bit nonsense to say iron balls, the reason is the same.
To hurt people from a long distance through those hard objects, to put it bluntly, is there any essential difference from bows and arrows and catapults?
The explosion only occurs inside the barrel.
This is not what Zhu Zhanji wants to see.
The direction of this improvement is ammunition.
The fundamental reason why modern artillery weapons of later generations can be fired for a long time and explode when they reach the destination is precisely because of the advanced level of ammunition.
Although the impact force and firing power generated by the ammunition are the same as those of today's artillery.
But the ammunition is simply and straightforwardly divided into two parts.
One is the base of the ammunition, which is the reason why the ammunition and the missile produce impact and power.
The base of the artillery, through an automated percussion method, such as a firing pin, breaks the relatively fragile part of the ammunition base, and at the same time smashes the primer, generates sparks and ignites until it is fired through the barrel.
After the power generated by the gunpowder at the base of the ammunition ends, or after hitting the target, the gunpowder in front of the ammunition is automatically detonated in many ways.
For example, the detonator at the head of the ammunition triggers the ignition process through the impact of the warhead, ignites the internal gunpowder and explodes.
Or, through the rotation of the spiral, it will explode automatically after a certain number of rotations.
And electronic detonation and so on.
But in general, there are two types, the trigger type and the fuze adjustment type.
Although there is certainly no such advanced technology in this era, it can't be copied. Isn't it okay to do some simple things according to the principle?
According to the way of warfare in this era, the easiest way to achieve the purpose of exploding after launch is to delay the lead time!
For example, according to the firing method of today's era, an explosion still occurs in the gun's chamber to generate power.
However, the entire cannonball is made into a big iron ball, which is enough to withstand the explosion of the artillery powder chamber, and then a fuse is left in the reserved opening of the iron ball.
When the fuse explodes to generate impetus, it also ignites the fuse.
When the shell reaches a certain distance, the fuse burns out, ignites the internal gunpowder, and explodes from the inside.
This process is to play a delay effect.
Of course, this is the simplest embodiment of delay.
It can also be replaced by many other methods.
But this process is a long trial period.
It is precisely this craft that they have mastered today.
And these craftsmen are experimenting with this delay time, range, and various parameters.
Such as how much gunpowder, what range can be produced in what caliber artillery.
All of these require a little bit of recording, and in this way, the data of the artillery can be refined.
At the same time, the smoothness of the iron wall inside the artillery barrel also affects some data changes.
In short, what Zhu Zhanji gave them was an idea, a development direction, and a way to improve. As for how much they can improve and how accurate the artillery can be, it depends on them.
But even so, the current artillery and ammunition is 100 years ahead of the world.
And with Zhu Zhanji and his group coming here, the craftsmen who were experimenting with artillery also discovered them at the same time.
Just when they were confused, they immediately relaxed when they saw Zhu Zhanyong among the group of people.
However, when Zhu Zhanji and his group came close, these craftsmen suddenly realized that the clothes they wore were a bit special.
After thinking about it, his complexion suddenly changed, and he came to Zhu Di and the others, knelt down and said, "Caomin, kowtow to the emperor!"
Hearing the shouts of these people, how could Zhu Di care about these trivial matters at this time? As the emperor, he still smiled and said to the craftsmen: "Get up, and tell me what is special about your cannons. place."
Hearing this, those craftsmen looked at each other and hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, how about letting the grass-roots demonstrate for the emperor?"
Hearing this, Zhu Di had no objection.
It is best to see the effect with your own eyes.
"Come on, you demonstrate, I will watch."
Then, under the signal of those craftsmen, everyone retreated four or five steps away.
Although the strength of the gun barrel was strengthened during production, the technology is limited, and the safety cannot be said to be foolproof, so retreating is still the best choice.
In the event of an explosion, it would be good to have fewer deaths.
As the crowd retreated, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the craftsmen quickly lit the fuse on the cannon.
In just a few seconds, a loud bang sounded in everyone's ears.
At the same time, under everyone's gaze, a large black iron lump was launched rapidly.
Seeing this scene, both Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui beside him couldn't help frowning.
Because there is nothing special in this way of launching, it is exactly the same as the artillery of the Ming army.
Even the power is not as good as those shells equipped by the Ming army, because the ammunition is scattered, it can hit an entire area of enemies.
However, just when the knowledgeable person frowned in confusion.
boom!
A loud noise sounded again.
In the forest in the distance, there was also a shocking explosion.
It shocked the people present, especially those who knew how to do it.
Because they never thought that there would be a second explosion.
After seeing this scene, the old man Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was beside him, and Zhu Gaoxu understood it very well, so he shouted to Zhu Gaosui who was beside him: "Third brother, let's go."
Saying that, the two rode together and rushed towards the forest that exploded in the distance.
While Zhu Di was waiting, soon the Han King Zhu Gaoxu and the Zhao King Zhu Gaosui returned together.
When he came in front of Zhu Di, he still couldn't restrain the shock on his face, and said to Zhu Di: "Father, all the trees within five or six meters were blown up, and the trees within three or four meters were blown down, and a tree was blown up on the spot." Pit."
Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Di had a better understanding of the power of the artillery, and the expression on his face became more serious.
Compared with the artillery equipped by the Ming army that hurt people with hard objects, this horse riding is really called artillery!
After the explosive launch, it can produce a second explosion!
Just imagine, but this kind of thing is used on the battlefield, if it can reach the scale and range, the cavalry can also charge a der, directly saturated strike!
The most important thing is that in his careful observation just now, he found that the firing procedure of this artillery seems to be very simple.
Load gunpowder, clean muzzle and barrel.
Then load the black shell and just ignite it.
Including the gun mount, which has its own wheels, it can be moved easily, and can also be moved up and down, left and right, which made Zhu Di, who has experienced many battles, see more usefulness of this thing on the battlefield.
In previous wars, what was the most difficult battle?
Naturally, it was a siege battle.
The casualties were the worst.
But if you have this stuff, put a dozen of them like this.
A round of volley, although I can't guarantee the high accuracy, but even if you try your luck, it's much better than taking human life to fill it up!
Although the artillery in the past was also useful in siege warfare, the effect was negligible. One of the important reasons was that all the artillery fired were real objects, and they couldn't have much power after hitting the city wall.
But now it's different.
After this thing is launched, it can explode again, and the power of the key explosion is not bad at all!
Thinking of this, Zhu Di's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked around and behind him with a tense expression.
Seeing that although there were many people who came today, most of them were important ministers in the court, Zhu Di was secretly relieved.
This is a national weapon!
Must not be known by others!
It is precisely because he knows how powerful this thing is that Zhu Di is even less likely to let it fall into the hands of the enemy.
If the Mongols also got something like this, then the city wall they relied on for the defense of the Ming Dynasty would lose all its power.
I dare not say that the siege has become easy, but at least it will drop a lot of grades.
More than a dozen bombarded the city gate.
You are a steel plate, and if you can't blow it through, it can also blow you up and collapse you.
As if he had seen through the worry in the old man's heart, the Han king Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said to everyone around him: "What I have seen today, no one is allowed to reveal a word, this is a secret, anyone who leaks it will be punished!"
Hearing the murderous expression on the face of the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Di who was indifferent to it, everyone present understood how important these two were to this, and couldn't help but tighten their hearts, telling themselves not to be careless.
"Grandpa, second uncle and third uncle, is this thing okay?"
Zhu Zhanji deliberately ran up to the three of them and joked.
Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, the three of them didn't know what Zhu Zhanji was thinking. Zhu Di was the first to say, "Don't talk nonsense, how many of these things are there?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji turned his head and looked at his younger brother Zhu Zhanyong beside him, and said, "Come on, tell grandpa about the results of your errand."
Afterwards, Zhu Zhanyong came out slowly and said, "Grandpa, the artillery mounts for this thing are easy to make, and it's not a problem to have enough manpower to make dozens of them a month, but the shells take a little longer, and Many processes are still being perfected.”
"If we only talk about the current shells, dozens of shells can be produced in a month."
After Zhu Zhanyong finished speaking, Zhu Di's face suddenly sank.
Dozens of pieces, who is enough for this?
Not to mention the saturation attack that Zhu Di thought of, it's just a round of volleys from dozens of planes that will be gone.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Di immediately said seriously: "No, it's not enough! You kid have been tossing around for so long, and you just made this point?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanyong immediately widened his eyes.
"Grandpa, we are not the Ministry of Industry, we are researching"
Before the word 'fa' was finished, the old man Zhu Di immediately interrupted him, and said decisively: "I don't care about you, three months, within three months I want fifty such artillery, ammunition... At least a thousand pieces!"
"impossible!"
Zhu Zhanyong immediately said: "Grandpa, it's absolutely impossible. We don't have many craftsmen here. Most of them have their own research and development objects. There is no cost for mass production."
"Besides, the money is not enough. We usually don't want to use even one of these ammunition. This is only because you came here, grandpa, and you are willing to blow it up once. It's still not enough for you to dismantle this place and sell it. Make a thousand of them."
When it comes to the money, Zhu Zhanyong is not afraid anymore.
It's a lot of bitterness in front of the old man.
Seeing the boy's righteous appearance, the old man was stunned for a moment.
But after regaining his senses, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, just like your elder brother, don't you just want money? I will give it. As for the craftsmen, they will be transferred from the Ministry of Industry. In short, no matter what you want, Pass me a brochure, I won’t deny anything, but there is only one thing, in three months, I want fifty artillery pieces and one thousand ammunition!”
Listening to the numbers in the old man's mouth, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui on the side were thinking of the scene after owning such a scale of artillery, and each of them felt itchy in their hearts.
It's so cool to take this thing to fight, whether it's attacking a fortress or fighting head-on.
And a thousand shells are enough for them to have a good time.
However, the three of them were happy, but the faces of Zhu Gaochi and Hubu Shangshu who were standing aside were darkened.
Especially that Xia Yuanji, let alone spit out what he ate after this trip, and now he has to spend a lot of money, what is this called.
And Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji's father, obviously wanted to calm down a little. He hurried to Zhu Zhanji's side and asked, "Boy, how much money do you need to do this?"
Zhu Zhanji was also polite: "Not a million taels of silver?"
As soon as the number came out, Zhu Gaochi, who was a little calmer just now, couldn't help it anymore. After scolding him, he asked Zhu Zhanji again: "Brat, tell the truth, how much money do you want?" Don't just bring the imperial court with you, the imperial court is not a big family, and there is not much money for you to eat."
Seeing his father's serious appearance, Zhu Zhanji stopped scaring him. After calling Zhu Zhanyong from the side to make a calculation, he said, "At least 200,000 taels."
Hearing this number, although Zhu Gaochi could still accept it, it was still very painful.
200,000 taels of silver can do a lot of things in the court.
But now I can only exchange such a few things, which is enough for the few prodigal things in my family to fumble once.
It is not known how long it will take for the imperial court to earn the 200,000 taels of silver.
"100,000 taels! No more."
Listening to his father Zhu Gaochi talking about the price, Zhu Zhanji was the first to say before that boy Zhu Zhanyong said anything impatiently: "300,000! 200,000 is only barely enough to reduce the cost as much as possible in special times. Since you are ungrateful, father, and 300,000 is missing, this business is over!"
With Party A in hand, I own the world.
The old man even said that he would give as much as he wanted, and you, an accountant, even bargained.
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Gaochi saw that he was rising without losing, and immediately said with wide eyes: "Impossible, 150,000, at most 150,000."
"400,000! Don't sell any less!"
"."
Seeing myself and the two bickering there, the old man Zhu Di didn't care about them, anyway, this matter will always have a result in the end.
It depends on whether the father is good or the son is good.
Just seeing such a big surprise in this arsenal, the old man Zhu Di couldn't help but want to go inside to have a look.
After all, that kid Zhu Zhanyong just said that there are many craftsmen here who are studying different crafts.
As everyone entered the arsenal made of concrete, they could hear a crisp sound from time to time.
Looking at the spear held by the craftsman, Zhu Di's eyeballs were immediately attracted, and he couldn't even move it.
Compared with the firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty, the spears held by the craftsmen were considered real guns.
Instead of a large piece of iron, and then connected with a wooden stick, it is the same as setting off a firecracker.
Of course, the principle is the same, even the power has dropped a lot, and the attack range has also dropped.
But the win is the increased accuracy.
In front of the craftsman was a target.
At a distance of more than [-] meters, the craftsman was able to accurately hit that target.
However, seeing the old man walking over in a hurry, Zhu Zhanji took the lead and said: "Grandpa, don't think about this thing for now, there are only two in total, and they are still in the experimental stage, and they can't be mass-produced. It takes a long time for a craftsman to adjust it to achieve this kind of accuracy. If it cannot be scaled up, its actual effect on the battlefield is not as strong as the firecrackers currently equipped by the Ming army."
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, although Zhu Di felt itchy looking at the gun that could hit accurately, but since the eldest grandson said so, it is obvious that the research and development has not been completed yet.
I can't help being a little disappointed.
Although that thing doesn't seem to be as powerful as a firecracker, it does area damage when sprayed.
But this thing is really accurate.
At a distance of more than [-] meters, such a small target is much stronger than a bow and arrow.
Seeing the old man like this, Zhu Zhanji took the initiative to say: "Grandpa, come here, grandson actually prepared some practical things for you, grandpa."
As he said that, he ordered people to get out the new firearms that had been developed long ago.
One is a simple version of the grenade, and the other is a pack of explosives.
Although none of them are particularly technical, they are better than others.
Replace the stone on the catapult with the explosive pack.
After igniting, throw it away.
Fry a large piece.
This thing is a simple version of the artillery.
However, due to many restrictions, the artillery is not as powerful as this explosive bag.
Comparing the size of the dynamite pack, it is still necessary to make it as you like.
As for the grenade, it is the same.
It is the same as the artillery shells outside before.
Leave a fuse, ignite it and throw it out, and it will explode after a while.
As for other battlefield effects, Zhu Zhanji should not worry about it. As long as things are given to the old man, how to use them is his business.
In short, it is very practical, easy to make, and can be mass-produced.
As long as the raw materials are sufficient.
Think about the scene of standing on the top of the city and throwing grenades and explosives down, it is inexplicably comfortable.
Fry one piece at a time.
Although these things are not as shocking as the artillery seen before, they can still fill the gaps in the firearms used by the Ming army.
Seeing this, whether it was Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu, or Zhu Gaosui, all of them had smiles on their faces.
Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, someone suddenly came from the palace to spread the news.
After the man passed the people around, he came straight to Zhu Di, and then hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I got the news that the treasure ship team led by Zheng He has returned!"
As soon as this person's words fell, Zhu Di suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Ma Bao is back?"
"Go back to the emperor, that's right."
Hearing this, the old man is really happy.
Not only did he get so many good things today, Ma Bao, who was sent by him to sail to the west, also came back.
For a moment, the old man immediately greeted the second child, the third child and the others, and said, "Let's go, let's all go back!"
By the old man's side, when Zhu Zhanji heard that Zheng He had returned, his eyes lit up, and the excitement in his heart was uncontrollable.
It's not that he really has such a good relationship with Zheng He, but this time when Zheng He went out, he asked Zheng He to help him bring back a treasure!
With that thing, Zhu Zhanji's plan to transform the Ming Dynasty can be greatly accelerated!
Not only that, but the value of this treasure will have a profound impact on future generations.
Even in the 21st century, the value of this treasure is very high!
For a while, Zhu Zhanji was also eager to urge the people around him, he couldn't wait
Along the way, Zhu Zhanji didn't wait for the old man and the others to linger away. He simply greeted the old man and returned to the palace by himself.
As for the old man, he didn't take the dragon boat, but took the carriage instead.
Seeing them all in a hurry, although Zhu Gaochi admired the eunuch Ma Bao very much, and had a very good relationship with him.
But he was in no hurry.
In his opinion, what should be seen will still be seen, and the one who arrives first does not necessarily depend on his feelings.
Of course, it was also because of my poor health that I couldn't ride a horse.
He could only sit in a sedan chair slowly, walking with the senior scholars of the court and several ministers, behind the team.
As for that kid Zhu Zhanyong, he was not in a hurry, he just stayed with his father and the others, and stayed behind.
But when the group of them walked back leisurely, when they passed Zhu Zhanyong's house, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but looked at the size of the house in surprise, and said to Zhu Zhanyong beside him: "Stinky boy, are you really You will enjoy it, no wonder you don’t stay at home every day, dare you get a paradise here?”
Listening to his father's words, Zhu Zhanyong deliberately pretended to be stupid and said, "Father, what are you talking about? This is not my son's. The mining area is so far away from here."
But before Zhu Zhanyong finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi immediately interrupted him, and then pointed to the road behind them, and said: "This road has been built to the gate of the mansion, you say it is not yours? "
Listening to his father's words, Zhu Zhanyong hadn't realized it yet, and he didn't expect his father to conclude that the house belonged to him just by the intersection of this road.
Just when Zhu Zhanyong wanted to explain something, his father Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of something when he saw his unnatural expression. When he raised his hand, the whole team stopped.
Looking at the ministers approaching around, Zhu Gaochi looked at his kid with a smile and said, "Let's go, will you lead the way for dad, or will dad guide you?"
Hearing what his father said, Zhu Zhanyong still said stiffly: "Father, this is really not my son's house."
But how could Zhu Gaochi believe it?
When he was at the reservoir just now, Zhu Gaochi could see how this kid cooperated with his brother to fool the old man.
Immediately, Zhu Gaochi said to the guards beside him, "Go, knock on the door."
It took less than a moment to knock on the door.
The man Huang Yan had seen before when he was looking for someone appeared in front of everyone again.
Just as this person looked at the people outside suspiciously, he suddenly saw Zhu Zhanyong in the crowd, and hurriedly shouted enthusiastically: "Your Highness, you are back!"
As the voice sounded, Zhu Zhanyong, who was hiding in the crowd and tried not to appear, suddenly rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Seeing His Highness's expression, the person who opened the door couldn't help being puzzled.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi suddenly chuckled and said, "Although your father and I are not as smart as your grandfather, I am still your father after all. With your kid's skill, it's not enough."
After finishing speaking, he took the lead in walking towards the compound.
And Zhu Zhanyong had no choice but to follow.
When passing by the old man, facing the doubts of the old man, Zhu Zhanyong could only smile and say: "It's okay, we are all from our own."
After finishing speaking, he caught up with his father Zhu Gaochi.
As a group of people walked into the compound, they discovered that the inside of the courtyard, which looked like the outside, was full of universe.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a huge garden.
However, to their surprise, the first people they saw after entering were actually a few children.
Involuntarily, Zhu Gaochi's heart tightened.
These dolls, couldn't they be the children raised by that kid Zhu Zhanyong outside?
This kid secretly started a family outside?
Not only Zhu Gaochi, but also several ministers and academicians around him had the same idea at first.
Involuntarily, Zhu Gaochi walked over first, looked at the dolls and carefully sized them up.
Seeing them squatting on the ground with some weird symbols written on branches, they couldn't help but ask, "Children, what are you doing?"
Hearing Zhu Gaochi's question, the children looked up and said without looking at him, "We're counting."
"count?"
Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and tried to understand what it meant, and then said, "What is the calculation, why don't you let Grandpa tell you?"
Although Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong are not married yet, it is no problem to call themselves a grandfather at Zhu Gaochi's age.
However, those children said without raising their heads this time, "You won't."
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and burst out laughing.
This big fat man hadn't smiled so sincerely for a long time.
Of course, it was also because he mistook these children for his grandsons outside.
Zhu Gaochi, who has not yet hugged his grandson, is naturally happy from the bottom of his heart when facing these dolls.
Seeing his father's joy, Zhu Zhanyong curled his lips helplessly. He didn't know what his father was thinking at this time, so naturally he couldn't understand what a second-generation relative was.
"Grandpa is the first time I've heard someone say this. So, tell me and see if grandpa knows it. If grandpa really can't, grandpa won't bother you. How about it?"
Seeing that the grown-up is so annoying, the children are quite helpless, but the big fat man looks cute when he smiles. Although he frowned, he still said: "Okay, then I will give you a random question." , if you get the answer right, we will take you to calculate together, how about it?"
Zhu Gaochi immediately smiled and said, "Okay, tell me."
Hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, the tallest doll among the dolls looked around, and when he saw the pond, he straightened his body and asked in a childlike voice: "Let me ask you, how much water in this pond is in total?" how many?"
As soon as this question was uttered, Zhu Gaochi froze on the spot.
I wanted to talk about a pool of water, but after thinking about it, I thought it was nonsense, but how can this be counted?
Zhu Gaochi really didn't think about it.
Involuntarily, in order to save face in front of the children, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said to Xia Yuanji, the Shangshu of the household department beside him: "This question is too simple, grandpa let this grandpa answer it for you."
Hearing that the crown prince pushed him out, Xia Yuanji was also stunned.
"This"
After thinking for a while, he said, "It's better to have someone fill it in buckets. There are as many buckets of water as there are buckets."
However, what Xia Yuanji, Shangshu of the household department, never expected was that when those children heard his words, they showed contempt on their faces.
Seeing this scene, not only Xia Yuanji's face was embarrassed, but also the great scholars and monks around them were also embarrassed.
Zhu Zhanyong, who was hiding in the corner, was so happy that he almost couldn't hold back.
Among the six ministers of the current dynasty and the great scholars in the cabinet, none of them are famous for their talents and learning, but now they are stumped by a few dolls.
This makes Zhu Zhanyong how can he not laugh.
It's not that this algorithm is so difficult, in fact, Huaxia has been extremely developed in mathematics since ancient times.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the eighth volume of "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" talked about solving linear equations with matrices, and the first example talked about the Gaussian elimination method.
As for Europe, it was not until the eighteenth century that Gauss created linear algebra.
Zhu Shijie's "Siyuan Yujian" in the Song and Yuan Dynasties talked about the method of finding multivariate high-order equations. In the examples, equations of up to 14 times appeared.
As for Europe, it was only in the [-]th century that Veda's quadratic equation, Cardano's cubic equation, and Ferrari's quaternary equation existed.The problem of solving equations of fifth or higher degree did not appear until Galois in the nineteenth century.
In short, in terms of mathematics, ancient China was several centuries ahead of the outside world, which can be said to be a slap in the face.
However, it is a pity that even if China was ahead in ancient times, under the rule of such a feudal dynasty, such academics can only be treated as strange skills.
To put it bluntly, this is not what mainstream life needs.
Therefore, even the ministers and scholars of the imperial court in front of them don't know much about it.
Even the arithmetic methods learned can only reach the level of calculating accounts.
Now they are asked to calculate how much water is in this pool, but they are dumbfounded.
However, Xia Yuanji, who was the Minister of the Household Department, immediately felt insulted, and blushed and asked the child, "Don't just ask me, do you know how much water there is?"
Seeing that Xia Yuanji still refused to give up, he refused to return despite the difficulties.
Those children looked at him helplessly and shook their heads, as if they were looking at their own useless and stupid son.
This scene completely irritated Xia Yuanji, and he suddenly felt his brain swell with anger.
And Zhu Zhanyong, who was on the side, even blushed when he saw this scene.
The crown prince Zhu Gaochi also seemed to be holding his head with one hand, but in fact he was secretly wiping tears.
Although the other ministers can still hold back, they are obviously working hard.
But Xia Yuanji, who was pushed out by the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, couldn't laugh, and really compared himself with these children: "Look at what I do, tell yourself how much water there is!"
Seeing this, the child's leader could only helplessly glance at the little friend around him, who immediately understood, came to the edge of the pond, and then stretched out his hands, because he was still young, even if he stretched out his hands, it would not be too much. It's about a meter away.
After measuring a few times, the child came to the other side and began to measure.
After the end, the whole person stood in the pond.
Looking at the height of the water in the pool, he silently whispered something to the child beside him.
Later, several children came to the dry land here again.
Then he took the branch and wrote on the ground.
(15×5.2×0.5)
Finally, he said to Xia Yuanji, "39 cubic meters!"
Hearing this, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but said, "I don't understand what cubic meters you're talking about, so just tell me. Just as many buckets of water as you need."
Seeing that the white-bearded old man in front of him was still so stubborn, the children sighed a long time.
Then they looked at each other and came to the bucket.
After taking a careful measurement, I came to the ground again and started counting.
(π×(24cm×24cm)×45cm)≈81430.080cm
81430.080cm≈0.08143m
39/0.08143≈478.9
After the calculation, the child confidently threw the branch in his hand, and said to Xia Yuanji, "479 barrels!"
Listening to the child's words, everyone present was shocked this time.
After looking at each other incredulously, everyone didn't know whether the answer was correct.
When Xia Yuanji saw how confident they were and the weird symbols, his heart really beat.
But after all, he is the minister of the household department of the imperial court, how could he admit defeat so easily, otherwise, if it spreads in the future, it will not be laughed at by the civil and military officials of the full court?
If it really gets out, I'm afraid that his achievements may not be recorded in the history books, but this interesting incident should be clearly remembered.
Reluctantly, he could only hold his neck and say, "I don't believe it!"
But these children said disdainfully: "If you don't believe me, just pour it!"
As he spoke, he kicked the bucket beside him.
This time, Xia Yuanji was cornered.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he really couldn't step down.
Seeing this, the prince Zhu Gaochi on the side also kindly said: "Master Xia, let's forget it."
But the more Zhu Gaochi said that, the more stubborn Xia Yuanji became.
(End of this chapter)
Seeing the excited expression of the old man, Zhu Zhanji smiled and shook his head.
My old man, seeing this firearm is closer than his own grandson.
Besides the old man, the dolls born by the old man also inherited the fine tradition of the old man, and when they were with the old man, they moved faster than one.
Only Zhu Zhanji's father, Zhu Gaochi, was out of breath because he was too fat to move his legs. In less cases.
However, when his father Zhu Gaochi passed by his side, he still couldn't help frowning and accusing him: "You kid, just play around with your grandfather, it's hard to get some money, give some benefits to the common people, and pay salaries to the officials. Alright, fight, fight, you know it's a war when you wake up, you grandpa and grandson, just mess around!"
For the old man Zhu Gaochi, the court used more money, and although the northern border has been harassed, isn't this a normal thing? Since ancient times, in every dynasty, which dynasty would not have such a thing , Send some soldiers, call the generals and clean them up. Why do you have to go to the emperor's personal conquest every time, and go to war as soon as you set off, mobilizing the troops and mobilizing the people, wasting the people and wasting money.
Will not live at all.
Seeing his father Zhu Gaochi frowning and looking sad, Zhu Zhanji heaved a long sigh.
He secretly said that what his father said was correct, as a big country, it would gather all the power of the whole country to fight against foreign enemies. It seemed majestic, but he knew what was going on in his heart.
The prestige is out, and the name is also out.
But what is behind it is the unspeakable misery of the common people and the traumas everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.
This trauma was not caused by others, it was caused by the imperial court collecting taxes for the war and forcibly suppressing it.
Recall that Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Li Guang of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who sealed the wolf as Xu
In the entire history of China's foreign wars, it can be counted on the fingers, but what kind of life do the people in the country live.
Now his grandfather Yongle's generation, so why not.
He is strong because of his grandfather's decades of hard work and accumulated national strength.
Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business ensured the Ming Dynasty's satisfaction in basic agriculture and food.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanji cannot deny his father's attitude.
But on the other hand, his grandfather was right.
The north has been the first enemy of the Chinese Dynasty since ancient times, the Xiongnu, Khitan, to Mongolia, and then to the current Tatars and Oirats.
In the future, Wala will reach the gate of the capital.
The people in the north are too much of a threat to China.
This period can be said to be the weakest time for Mongolia in the north. Since the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, its nobles fled to the north and were divided into many forces.
In fact, the old man also knows the situation in China, and he is more aware of his father Zhu Gaochi's thoughts.
It is clearer that he can no longer fight against the Ming Dynasty.
But what to do.
Don't fight?
When Mongolia in the north has gone through decades, hundreds of years, it doesn't even need these things. In a few years, such a powerful person will emerge and unify the north, and immediately become a powerful enemy that can threaten the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the old man's idea is very simple, take advantage of his illness and kill him.
It doesn't matter whether he wants to build a great cause, or he loves to fight, and it doesn't matter if he enlists the generals of the Peking University.
As a grandfather, he has fought all his life and cannot leave disasters to his descendants.
His father Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out the noble forces in the country when the Ming Dynasty was established for future generations, abolished the Zhongshu Province, and further concentrated power.
These are not accumulating virtue for the descendants of future generations.
If it is said that his father Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't care about future generations, does he need to abolish the Zhongshu Province and punish the nobles?
No need.
Zhu Yuanzhang lived for a day, and those generals and nobles would not dare to rebel.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang is the ancestor of the rebellion, why do they think they can fight with their elder brother who took the lead in the rebellion.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang could conquer the world with only a broken bowl, but now he controls the world, but you think you can rebel against him?
Therefore, Zhu Di also understands his father Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
And he, Zhu Di, is also learning from his father Zhu Yuanzhang.
His father cleaned up the inside, so he, Zhu Di, will clean up the outside for the Ming Dynasty!
Knowing all this, what can Zhu Zhanji do.
Both dad and grandpa were right.
Neither can refute.
However, Zhu Zhanji is still a little selfish.
The later generation Qing Chui used the territory of the Ming Dynasty to disgust his ancestors all day long, but he didn't know that without him, the Ming Dynasty, you would not dare to boast that his Chinese inheritance has not been broken in future generations.
Of the four ancient civilizations, only China has been passed down to this day.
What pretends to be the civilization of the country.
Without the nail of the Ming Dynasty, the two hundred and seventy-six-year Guozuo was firmly nailed to the history of China, allowing the backbone of the Chinese nation to stand upright.
Besides, you are the only inheritance of the four ancient countries so far, then it is not bragging about you, it is disgusting you.
Therefore, not only must this battle be fought, but it must also be fought beautifully!
Knock out those knees that can't be hardened by Qing Chui!
If you can't stand up, lie down!
"Stinky boy!"
The old man in the distance shouted, and Zhu Zhanji quickly put away his thoughts and rushed over.
The gate of the arsenal.
Many craftsmen are experimenting with the newly developed artillery.
However, it is not so much experimenting with artillery as it is experimenting with new types of shells.
Like the firecrackers, the artillery of the Yongle period was still in its infancy.
But even so, the firearms controlled by the Ming army are still at the current world-class level.
To put it simply, its principle is exactly the same as that of a firecracker.
It's just changed from the one used by individual sergeants to the form of a cannon.
It is also through the explosion of gunpowder in the medicine pool, causing the impact force, causing the ammunition in the barrel to be launched along the barrel.
These ammunition can also be iron blocks, stones, lead bullets and so on.
It's just that the caliber is larger, the range is farther, and the power is also greater.
But such firearms have great limitations after all.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanji tried to improve on the basis of the original artillery, and the improvement idea given was also very simple. It was also improved by Zhu Zhanji through his understanding of the previous artillery.
But it is not so much the improvement of artillery as the improvement of ammunition.
Because the launching device of the artillery has actually been used as an igniter and an aiming tool to a large extent.
For example, the cannon barrel can make the shells launch in a predetermined direction.
But obviously, just relying on the explosion in the barrel, the impact force produced is not enough to increase the power of the artillery.
Regarding this point, Zhu Zhanji's deepest memory is a war TV series in the Qing Dynasty.
During the naval battle between the Qing Dynasty and foreign countries.
When a shell from the Qing Dynasty fell on a foreign warship, all the foreign soldiers on the warship panicked and lay down on the ground.
However, after waiting for a long time, the shell did not sound or explode.
It was finally discovered that the shell was simply an iron ball.
There is no explosion at all.
This is the memory of Zhu Zhanji when he was a child. The feeling of being completely behind in technology has made him unforgettable for decades.
And the artillery of the Ming Dynasty is actually the same. Although it is a bit nonsense to say iron balls, the reason is the same.
To hurt people from a long distance through those hard objects, to put it bluntly, is there any essential difference from bows and arrows and catapults?
The explosion only occurs inside the barrel.
This is not what Zhu Zhanji wants to see.
The direction of this improvement is ammunition.
The fundamental reason why modern artillery weapons of later generations can be fired for a long time and explode when they reach the destination is precisely because of the advanced level of ammunition.
Although the impact force and firing power generated by the ammunition are the same as those of today's artillery.
But the ammunition is simply and straightforwardly divided into two parts.
One is the base of the ammunition, which is the reason why the ammunition and the missile produce impact and power.
The base of the artillery, through an automated percussion method, such as a firing pin, breaks the relatively fragile part of the ammunition base, and at the same time smashes the primer, generates sparks and ignites until it is fired through the barrel.
After the power generated by the gunpowder at the base of the ammunition ends, or after hitting the target, the gunpowder in front of the ammunition is automatically detonated in many ways.
For example, the detonator at the head of the ammunition triggers the ignition process through the impact of the warhead, ignites the internal gunpowder and explodes.
Or, through the rotation of the spiral, it will explode automatically after a certain number of rotations.
And electronic detonation and so on.
But in general, there are two types, the trigger type and the fuze adjustment type.
Although there is certainly no such advanced technology in this era, it can't be copied. Isn't it okay to do some simple things according to the principle?
According to the way of warfare in this era, the easiest way to achieve the purpose of exploding after launch is to delay the lead time!
For example, according to the firing method of today's era, an explosion still occurs in the gun's chamber to generate power.
However, the entire cannonball is made into a big iron ball, which is enough to withstand the explosion of the artillery powder chamber, and then a fuse is left in the reserved opening of the iron ball.
When the fuse explodes to generate impetus, it also ignites the fuse.
When the shell reaches a certain distance, the fuse burns out, ignites the internal gunpowder, and explodes from the inside.
This process is to play a delay effect.
Of course, this is the simplest embodiment of delay.
It can also be replaced by many other methods.
But this process is a long trial period.
It is precisely this craft that they have mastered today.
And these craftsmen are experimenting with this delay time, range, and various parameters.
Such as how much gunpowder, what range can be produced in what caliber artillery.
All of these require a little bit of recording, and in this way, the data of the artillery can be refined.
At the same time, the smoothness of the iron wall inside the artillery barrel also affects some data changes.
In short, what Zhu Zhanji gave them was an idea, a development direction, and a way to improve. As for how much they can improve and how accurate the artillery can be, it depends on them.
But even so, the current artillery and ammunition is 100 years ahead of the world.
And with Zhu Zhanji and his group coming here, the craftsmen who were experimenting with artillery also discovered them at the same time.
Just when they were confused, they immediately relaxed when they saw Zhu Zhanyong among the group of people.
However, when Zhu Zhanji and his group came close, these craftsmen suddenly realized that the clothes they wore were a bit special.
After thinking about it, his complexion suddenly changed, and he came to Zhu Di and the others, knelt down and said, "Caomin, kowtow to the emperor!"
Hearing the shouts of these people, how could Zhu Di care about these trivial matters at this time? As the emperor, he still smiled and said to the craftsmen: "Get up, and tell me what is special about your cannons. place."
Hearing this, those craftsmen looked at each other and hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, how about letting the grass-roots demonstrate for the emperor?"
Hearing this, Zhu Di had no objection.
It is best to see the effect with your own eyes.
"Come on, you demonstrate, I will watch."
Then, under the signal of those craftsmen, everyone retreated four or five steps away.
Although the strength of the gun barrel was strengthened during production, the technology is limited, and the safety cannot be said to be foolproof, so retreating is still the best choice.
In the event of an explosion, it would be good to have fewer deaths.
As the crowd retreated, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the craftsmen quickly lit the fuse on the cannon.
In just a few seconds, a loud bang sounded in everyone's ears.
At the same time, under everyone's gaze, a large black iron lump was launched rapidly.
Seeing this scene, both Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui beside him couldn't help frowning.
Because there is nothing special in this way of launching, it is exactly the same as the artillery of the Ming army.
Even the power is not as good as those shells equipped by the Ming army, because the ammunition is scattered, it can hit an entire area of enemies.
However, just when the knowledgeable person frowned in confusion.
boom!
A loud noise sounded again.
In the forest in the distance, there was also a shocking explosion.
It shocked the people present, especially those who knew how to do it.
Because they never thought that there would be a second explosion.
After seeing this scene, the old man Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was beside him, and Zhu Gaoxu understood it very well, so he shouted to Zhu Gaosui who was beside him: "Third brother, let's go."
Saying that, the two rode together and rushed towards the forest that exploded in the distance.
While Zhu Di was waiting, soon the Han King Zhu Gaoxu and the Zhao King Zhu Gaosui returned together.
When he came in front of Zhu Di, he still couldn't restrain the shock on his face, and said to Zhu Di: "Father, all the trees within five or six meters were blown up, and the trees within three or four meters were blown down, and a tree was blown up on the spot." Pit."
Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Di had a better understanding of the power of the artillery, and the expression on his face became more serious.
Compared with the artillery equipped by the Ming army that hurt people with hard objects, this horse riding is really called artillery!
After the explosive launch, it can produce a second explosion!
Just imagine, but this kind of thing is used on the battlefield, if it can reach the scale and range, the cavalry can also charge a der, directly saturated strike!
The most important thing is that in his careful observation just now, he found that the firing procedure of this artillery seems to be very simple.
Load gunpowder, clean muzzle and barrel.
Then load the black shell and just ignite it.
Including the gun mount, which has its own wheels, it can be moved easily, and can also be moved up and down, left and right, which made Zhu Di, who has experienced many battles, see more usefulness of this thing on the battlefield.
In previous wars, what was the most difficult battle?
Naturally, it was a siege battle.
The casualties were the worst.
But if you have this stuff, put a dozen of them like this.
A round of volley, although I can't guarantee the high accuracy, but even if you try your luck, it's much better than taking human life to fill it up!
Although the artillery in the past was also useful in siege warfare, the effect was negligible. One of the important reasons was that all the artillery fired were real objects, and they couldn't have much power after hitting the city wall.
But now it's different.
After this thing is launched, it can explode again, and the power of the key explosion is not bad at all!
Thinking of this, Zhu Di's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked around and behind him with a tense expression.
Seeing that although there were many people who came today, most of them were important ministers in the court, Zhu Di was secretly relieved.
This is a national weapon!
Must not be known by others!
It is precisely because he knows how powerful this thing is that Zhu Di is even less likely to let it fall into the hands of the enemy.
If the Mongols also got something like this, then the city wall they relied on for the defense of the Ming Dynasty would lose all its power.
I dare not say that the siege has become easy, but at least it will drop a lot of grades.
More than a dozen bombarded the city gate.
You are a steel plate, and if you can't blow it through, it can also blow you up and collapse you.
As if he had seen through the worry in the old man's heart, the Han king Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said to everyone around him: "What I have seen today, no one is allowed to reveal a word, this is a secret, anyone who leaks it will be punished!"
Hearing the murderous expression on the face of the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Di who was indifferent to it, everyone present understood how important these two were to this, and couldn't help but tighten their hearts, telling themselves not to be careless.
"Grandpa, second uncle and third uncle, is this thing okay?"
Zhu Zhanji deliberately ran up to the three of them and joked.
Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, the three of them didn't know what Zhu Zhanji was thinking. Zhu Di was the first to say, "Don't talk nonsense, how many of these things are there?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji turned his head and looked at his younger brother Zhu Zhanyong beside him, and said, "Come on, tell grandpa about the results of your errand."
Afterwards, Zhu Zhanyong came out slowly and said, "Grandpa, the artillery mounts for this thing are easy to make, and it's not a problem to have enough manpower to make dozens of them a month, but the shells take a little longer, and Many processes are still being perfected.”
"If we only talk about the current shells, dozens of shells can be produced in a month."
After Zhu Zhanyong finished speaking, Zhu Di's face suddenly sank.
Dozens of pieces, who is enough for this?
Not to mention the saturation attack that Zhu Di thought of, it's just a round of volleys from dozens of planes that will be gone.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Di immediately said seriously: "No, it's not enough! You kid have been tossing around for so long, and you just made this point?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanyong immediately widened his eyes.
"Grandpa, we are not the Ministry of Industry, we are researching"
Before the word 'fa' was finished, the old man Zhu Di immediately interrupted him, and said decisively: "I don't care about you, three months, within three months I want fifty such artillery, ammunition... At least a thousand pieces!"
"impossible!"
Zhu Zhanyong immediately said: "Grandpa, it's absolutely impossible. We don't have many craftsmen here. Most of them have their own research and development objects. There is no cost for mass production."
"Besides, the money is not enough. We usually don't want to use even one of these ammunition. This is only because you came here, grandpa, and you are willing to blow it up once. It's still not enough for you to dismantle this place and sell it. Make a thousand of them."
When it comes to the money, Zhu Zhanyong is not afraid anymore.
It's a lot of bitterness in front of the old man.
Seeing the boy's righteous appearance, the old man was stunned for a moment.
But after regaining his senses, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, just like your elder brother, don't you just want money? I will give it. As for the craftsmen, they will be transferred from the Ministry of Industry. In short, no matter what you want, Pass me a brochure, I won’t deny anything, but there is only one thing, in three months, I want fifty artillery pieces and one thousand ammunition!”
Listening to the numbers in the old man's mouth, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui on the side were thinking of the scene after owning such a scale of artillery, and each of them felt itchy in their hearts.
It's so cool to take this thing to fight, whether it's attacking a fortress or fighting head-on.
And a thousand shells are enough for them to have a good time.
However, the three of them were happy, but the faces of Zhu Gaochi and Hubu Shangshu who were standing aside were darkened.
Especially that Xia Yuanji, let alone spit out what he ate after this trip, and now he has to spend a lot of money, what is this called.
And Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji's father, obviously wanted to calm down a little. He hurried to Zhu Zhanji's side and asked, "Boy, how much money do you need to do this?"
Zhu Zhanji was also polite: "Not a million taels of silver?"
As soon as the number came out, Zhu Gaochi, who was a little calmer just now, couldn't help it anymore. After scolding him, he asked Zhu Zhanji again: "Brat, tell the truth, how much money do you want?" Don't just bring the imperial court with you, the imperial court is not a big family, and there is not much money for you to eat."
Seeing his father's serious appearance, Zhu Zhanji stopped scaring him. After calling Zhu Zhanyong from the side to make a calculation, he said, "At least 200,000 taels."
Hearing this number, although Zhu Gaochi could still accept it, it was still very painful.
200,000 taels of silver can do a lot of things in the court.
But now I can only exchange such a few things, which is enough for the few prodigal things in my family to fumble once.
It is not known how long it will take for the imperial court to earn the 200,000 taels of silver.
"100,000 taels! No more."
Listening to his father Zhu Gaochi talking about the price, Zhu Zhanji was the first to say before that boy Zhu Zhanyong said anything impatiently: "300,000! 200,000 is only barely enough to reduce the cost as much as possible in special times. Since you are ungrateful, father, and 300,000 is missing, this business is over!"
With Party A in hand, I own the world.
The old man even said that he would give as much as he wanted, and you, an accountant, even bargained.
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Gaochi saw that he was rising without losing, and immediately said with wide eyes: "Impossible, 150,000, at most 150,000."
"400,000! Don't sell any less!"
"."
Seeing myself and the two bickering there, the old man Zhu Di didn't care about them, anyway, this matter will always have a result in the end.
It depends on whether the father is good or the son is good.
Just seeing such a big surprise in this arsenal, the old man Zhu Di couldn't help but want to go inside to have a look.
After all, that kid Zhu Zhanyong just said that there are many craftsmen here who are studying different crafts.
As everyone entered the arsenal made of concrete, they could hear a crisp sound from time to time.
Looking at the spear held by the craftsman, Zhu Di's eyeballs were immediately attracted, and he couldn't even move it.
Compared with the firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty, the spears held by the craftsmen were considered real guns.
Instead of a large piece of iron, and then connected with a wooden stick, it is the same as setting off a firecracker.
Of course, the principle is the same, even the power has dropped a lot, and the attack range has also dropped.
But the win is the increased accuracy.
In front of the craftsman was a target.
At a distance of more than [-] meters, the craftsman was able to accurately hit that target.
However, seeing the old man walking over in a hurry, Zhu Zhanji took the lead and said: "Grandpa, don't think about this thing for now, there are only two in total, and they are still in the experimental stage, and they can't be mass-produced. It takes a long time for a craftsman to adjust it to achieve this kind of accuracy. If it cannot be scaled up, its actual effect on the battlefield is not as strong as the firecrackers currently equipped by the Ming army."
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, although Zhu Di felt itchy looking at the gun that could hit accurately, but since the eldest grandson said so, it is obvious that the research and development has not been completed yet.
I can't help being a little disappointed.
Although that thing doesn't seem to be as powerful as a firecracker, it does area damage when sprayed.
But this thing is really accurate.
At a distance of more than [-] meters, such a small target is much stronger than a bow and arrow.
Seeing the old man like this, Zhu Zhanji took the initiative to say: "Grandpa, come here, grandson actually prepared some practical things for you, grandpa."
As he said that, he ordered people to get out the new firearms that had been developed long ago.
One is a simple version of the grenade, and the other is a pack of explosives.
Although none of them are particularly technical, they are better than others.
Replace the stone on the catapult with the explosive pack.
After igniting, throw it away.
Fry a large piece.
This thing is a simple version of the artillery.
However, due to many restrictions, the artillery is not as powerful as this explosive bag.
Comparing the size of the dynamite pack, it is still necessary to make it as you like.
As for the grenade, it is the same.
It is the same as the artillery shells outside before.
Leave a fuse, ignite it and throw it out, and it will explode after a while.
As for other battlefield effects, Zhu Zhanji should not worry about it. As long as things are given to the old man, how to use them is his business.
In short, it is very practical, easy to make, and can be mass-produced.
As long as the raw materials are sufficient.
Think about the scene of standing on the top of the city and throwing grenades and explosives down, it is inexplicably comfortable.
Fry one piece at a time.
Although these things are not as shocking as the artillery seen before, they can still fill the gaps in the firearms used by the Ming army.
Seeing this, whether it was Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu, or Zhu Gaosui, all of them had smiles on their faces.
Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, someone suddenly came from the palace to spread the news.
After the man passed the people around, he came straight to Zhu Di, and then hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I got the news that the treasure ship team led by Zheng He has returned!"
As soon as this person's words fell, Zhu Di suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Ma Bao is back?"
"Go back to the emperor, that's right."
Hearing this, the old man is really happy.
Not only did he get so many good things today, Ma Bao, who was sent by him to sail to the west, also came back.
For a moment, the old man immediately greeted the second child, the third child and the others, and said, "Let's go, let's all go back!"
By the old man's side, when Zhu Zhanji heard that Zheng He had returned, his eyes lit up, and the excitement in his heart was uncontrollable.
It's not that he really has such a good relationship with Zheng He, but this time when Zheng He went out, he asked Zheng He to help him bring back a treasure!
With that thing, Zhu Zhanji's plan to transform the Ming Dynasty can be greatly accelerated!
Not only that, but the value of this treasure will have a profound impact on future generations.
Even in the 21st century, the value of this treasure is very high!
For a while, Zhu Zhanji was also eager to urge the people around him, he couldn't wait
Along the way, Zhu Zhanji didn't wait for the old man and the others to linger away. He simply greeted the old man and returned to the palace by himself.
As for the old man, he didn't take the dragon boat, but took the carriage instead.
Seeing them all in a hurry, although Zhu Gaochi admired the eunuch Ma Bao very much, and had a very good relationship with him.
But he was in no hurry.
In his opinion, what should be seen will still be seen, and the one who arrives first does not necessarily depend on his feelings.
Of course, it was also because of my poor health that I couldn't ride a horse.
He could only sit in a sedan chair slowly, walking with the senior scholars of the court and several ministers, behind the team.
As for that kid Zhu Zhanyong, he was not in a hurry, he just stayed with his father and the others, and stayed behind.
But when the group of them walked back leisurely, when they passed Zhu Zhanyong's house, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but looked at the size of the house in surprise, and said to Zhu Zhanyong beside him: "Stinky boy, are you really You will enjoy it, no wonder you don’t stay at home every day, dare you get a paradise here?”
Listening to his father's words, Zhu Zhanyong deliberately pretended to be stupid and said, "Father, what are you talking about? This is not my son's. The mining area is so far away from here."
But before Zhu Zhanyong finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi immediately interrupted him, and then pointed to the road behind them, and said: "This road has been built to the gate of the mansion, you say it is not yours? "
Listening to his father's words, Zhu Zhanyong hadn't realized it yet, and he didn't expect his father to conclude that the house belonged to him just by the intersection of this road.
Just when Zhu Zhanyong wanted to explain something, his father Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of something when he saw his unnatural expression. When he raised his hand, the whole team stopped.
Looking at the ministers approaching around, Zhu Gaochi looked at his kid with a smile and said, "Let's go, will you lead the way for dad, or will dad guide you?"
Hearing what his father said, Zhu Zhanyong still said stiffly: "Father, this is really not my son's house."
But how could Zhu Gaochi believe it?
When he was at the reservoir just now, Zhu Gaochi could see how this kid cooperated with his brother to fool the old man.
Immediately, Zhu Gaochi said to the guards beside him, "Go, knock on the door."
It took less than a moment to knock on the door.
The man Huang Yan had seen before when he was looking for someone appeared in front of everyone again.
Just as this person looked at the people outside suspiciously, he suddenly saw Zhu Zhanyong in the crowd, and hurriedly shouted enthusiastically: "Your Highness, you are back!"
As the voice sounded, Zhu Zhanyong, who was hiding in the crowd and tried not to appear, suddenly rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Seeing His Highness's expression, the person who opened the door couldn't help being puzzled.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi suddenly chuckled and said, "Although your father and I are not as smart as your grandfather, I am still your father after all. With your kid's skill, it's not enough."
After finishing speaking, he took the lead in walking towards the compound.
And Zhu Zhanyong had no choice but to follow.
When passing by the old man, facing the doubts of the old man, Zhu Zhanyong could only smile and say: "It's okay, we are all from our own."
After finishing speaking, he caught up with his father Zhu Gaochi.
As a group of people walked into the compound, they discovered that the inside of the courtyard, which looked like the outside, was full of universe.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a huge garden.
However, to their surprise, the first people they saw after entering were actually a few children.
Involuntarily, Zhu Gaochi's heart tightened.
These dolls, couldn't they be the children raised by that kid Zhu Zhanyong outside?
This kid secretly started a family outside?
Not only Zhu Gaochi, but also several ministers and academicians around him had the same idea at first.
Involuntarily, Zhu Gaochi walked over first, looked at the dolls and carefully sized them up.
Seeing them squatting on the ground with some weird symbols written on branches, they couldn't help but ask, "Children, what are you doing?"
Hearing Zhu Gaochi's question, the children looked up and said without looking at him, "We're counting."
"count?"
Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and tried to understand what it meant, and then said, "What is the calculation, why don't you let Grandpa tell you?"
Although Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong are not married yet, it is no problem to call themselves a grandfather at Zhu Gaochi's age.
However, those children said without raising their heads this time, "You won't."
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and burst out laughing.
This big fat man hadn't smiled so sincerely for a long time.
Of course, it was also because he mistook these children for his grandsons outside.
Zhu Gaochi, who has not yet hugged his grandson, is naturally happy from the bottom of his heart when facing these dolls.
Seeing his father's joy, Zhu Zhanyong curled his lips helplessly. He didn't know what his father was thinking at this time, so naturally he couldn't understand what a second-generation relative was.
"Grandpa is the first time I've heard someone say this. So, tell me and see if grandpa knows it. If grandpa really can't, grandpa won't bother you. How about it?"
Seeing that the grown-up is so annoying, the children are quite helpless, but the big fat man looks cute when he smiles. Although he frowned, he still said: "Okay, then I will give you a random question." , if you get the answer right, we will take you to calculate together, how about it?"
Zhu Gaochi immediately smiled and said, "Okay, tell me."
Hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, the tallest doll among the dolls looked around, and when he saw the pond, he straightened his body and asked in a childlike voice: "Let me ask you, how much water in this pond is in total?" how many?"
As soon as this question was uttered, Zhu Gaochi froze on the spot.
I wanted to talk about a pool of water, but after thinking about it, I thought it was nonsense, but how can this be counted?
Zhu Gaochi really didn't think about it.
Involuntarily, in order to save face in front of the children, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said to Xia Yuanji, the Shangshu of the household department beside him: "This question is too simple, grandpa let this grandpa answer it for you."
Hearing that the crown prince pushed him out, Xia Yuanji was also stunned.
"This"
After thinking for a while, he said, "It's better to have someone fill it in buckets. There are as many buckets of water as there are buckets."
However, what Xia Yuanji, Shangshu of the household department, never expected was that when those children heard his words, they showed contempt on their faces.
Seeing this scene, not only Xia Yuanji's face was embarrassed, but also the great scholars and monks around them were also embarrassed.
Zhu Zhanyong, who was hiding in the corner, was so happy that he almost couldn't hold back.
Among the six ministers of the current dynasty and the great scholars in the cabinet, none of them are famous for their talents and learning, but now they are stumped by a few dolls.
This makes Zhu Zhanyong how can he not laugh.
It's not that this algorithm is so difficult, in fact, Huaxia has been extremely developed in mathematics since ancient times.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the eighth volume of "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" talked about solving linear equations with matrices, and the first example talked about the Gaussian elimination method.
As for Europe, it was not until the eighteenth century that Gauss created linear algebra.
Zhu Shijie's "Siyuan Yujian" in the Song and Yuan Dynasties talked about the method of finding multivariate high-order equations. In the examples, equations of up to 14 times appeared.
As for Europe, it was only in the [-]th century that Veda's quadratic equation, Cardano's cubic equation, and Ferrari's quaternary equation existed.The problem of solving equations of fifth or higher degree did not appear until Galois in the nineteenth century.
In short, in terms of mathematics, ancient China was several centuries ahead of the outside world, which can be said to be a slap in the face.
However, it is a pity that even if China was ahead in ancient times, under the rule of such a feudal dynasty, such academics can only be treated as strange skills.
To put it bluntly, this is not what mainstream life needs.
Therefore, even the ministers and scholars of the imperial court in front of them don't know much about it.
Even the arithmetic methods learned can only reach the level of calculating accounts.
Now they are asked to calculate how much water is in this pool, but they are dumbfounded.
However, Xia Yuanji, who was the Minister of the Household Department, immediately felt insulted, and blushed and asked the child, "Don't just ask me, do you know how much water there is?"
Seeing that Xia Yuanji still refused to give up, he refused to return despite the difficulties.
Those children looked at him helplessly and shook their heads, as if they were looking at their own useless and stupid son.
This scene completely irritated Xia Yuanji, and he suddenly felt his brain swell with anger.
And Zhu Zhanyong, who was on the side, even blushed when he saw this scene.
The crown prince Zhu Gaochi also seemed to be holding his head with one hand, but in fact he was secretly wiping tears.
Although the other ministers can still hold back, they are obviously working hard.
But Xia Yuanji, who was pushed out by the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, couldn't laugh, and really compared himself with these children: "Look at what I do, tell yourself how much water there is!"
Seeing this, the child's leader could only helplessly glance at the little friend around him, who immediately understood, came to the edge of the pond, and then stretched out his hands, because he was still young, even if he stretched out his hands, it would not be too much. It's about a meter away.
After measuring a few times, the child came to the other side and began to measure.
After the end, the whole person stood in the pond.
Looking at the height of the water in the pool, he silently whispered something to the child beside him.
Later, several children came to the dry land here again.
Then he took the branch and wrote on the ground.
(15×5.2×0.5)
Finally, he said to Xia Yuanji, "39 cubic meters!"
Hearing this, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but said, "I don't understand what cubic meters you're talking about, so just tell me. Just as many buckets of water as you need."
Seeing that the white-bearded old man in front of him was still so stubborn, the children sighed a long time.
Then they looked at each other and came to the bucket.
After taking a careful measurement, I came to the ground again and started counting.
(π×(24cm×24cm)×45cm)≈81430.080cm
81430.080cm≈0.08143m
39/0.08143≈478.9
After the calculation, the child confidently threw the branch in his hand, and said to Xia Yuanji, "479 barrels!"
Listening to the child's words, everyone present was shocked this time.
After looking at each other incredulously, everyone didn't know whether the answer was correct.
When Xia Yuanji saw how confident they were and the weird symbols, his heart really beat.
But after all, he is the minister of the household department of the imperial court, how could he admit defeat so easily, otherwise, if it spreads in the future, it will not be laughed at by the civil and military officials of the full court?
If it really gets out, I'm afraid that his achievements may not be recorded in the history books, but this interesting incident should be clearly remembered.
Reluctantly, he could only hold his neck and say, "I don't believe it!"
But these children said disdainfully: "If you don't believe me, just pour it!"
As he spoke, he kicked the bucket beside him.
This time, Xia Yuanji was cornered.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he really couldn't step down.
Seeing this, the prince Zhu Gaochi on the side also kindly said: "Master Xia, let's forget it."
But the more Zhu Gaochi said that, the more stubborn Xia Yuanji became.
