Because the thrust was too big, Chu Tianxiu was worried that it would not be safe to walk on the street, so he simply hid in the Pingwang Mansion and did not go out. He held the carpenter's plane and various tools in his hand, cut a long piece of wood, and tinkered with something.

Li Yu, with Zuer and Di'er, was sewing their close-fitting women's armor.

Outside is a pair of steel armor, which is tailor-made for the three of them by Chu Tianxiu's craftsmen. It is the most close-fitting and has extremely strong protection.

They need to sew a layer of cloth on their own inside to prevent wear and tear.

The ancients had the habit of creating weapons, making armor, and bringing them to the battlefield. Just like Mulan in the Tang Dynasty joined the army, with horses and saddles, and all the equipment they were brought to join the army by themselves.

Although the Great Chu court also had standard military equipment, it might not be suitable, and not even every soldier could distribute high-quality equipment.

The people of Da Chu did not prohibit carrying weapons. To build and carry one or two pieces of weapons, they would not violate the law. Unless they were forged on a large scale and were reported to rebellion, they could be arrested.

Of course, due to the long-term lack of iron and bronze, most of them are used on agricultural tools.

Unless it is the guards of the Rangers and the powerful servants of the kings and princes, few people will openly carry blades across the market on the streets.

The Pingwang Mansion has been passed down from generation to generation by martial arts. The mansion has various armors and weapons are very common.

The power of the hundreds of refining armor and the hundreds of refining swords is almost ten times more than that of ordinary iron soldiers. It is no exaggeration to call it the treasure armor.

Some treasure swords collected by the Prince Ping’s Mansion are almost less than half the power compared with the Bailian sword.

They were incredible and surprised by the power of these armored weapons.

It is expensive, and a set of hundreds of refining armor and hundreds of refining swords costs at least one thousand taels of silver.

This set of weapons can only be used as a general level equipment, and ordinary soldiers cannot afford to wear it.

Chu Tianxiu equipped all the 300 Li soldiers of the Prince Ping's Mansion with one set, which was estimated to cost 300,000 taels of silver.

This huge expense made Chu Tianxiu feel so painful.

Li Yu and the other three wore their own women's refining armor, which was concave and magnificent and heroic. They rode a war horse and had a belt of treasure blade, and were a majestic female general.

"good!"

When Chu Tianxiu saw them put on armor, her eyes lit up and she was very amazed.

However, he himself doesn't like cold weapons very much.

With his combat effectiveness as Xiao Hunhou, he could probably kill one **.

He only needs a pair of close-fitting soft armor.

Li Yu's face turned slightly red. Seeing Chu Tianxiu holding a long hollow wooden tube in his hand, he curiously said: "Husband, what are you cutting? You have been doing it for several days."

"The wooden model of the barrel! This thing is amazing, but it requires extremely high accuracy and needs to be polished slowly. As long as it can be made, you can rest assured!"

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

"barrel?"

Li Yu was confused.

What is the power of a wooden pipe?

Even a steel pipe is so short and so thin... about the same size as a Xiao!

What does your husband want it to be used for? Playing the flute?!

"Hehe, you will know its magical use in two months."

Chu Tianxiu said with a smile, aiming at the wooden pipe.

He is making models of gunpowder guns.

After all, now there is gunpowder, and a gunpowder workshop has been built to produce small batches.

The old charlatan Li Nan led his group of dozens of alchemists to continue to develop more powerful black gunpowder. As long as he persists, the power of gunpowder can always be greatly enhanced.

The steel base in Danyang County has also been initially built, and heavy water conservancy heavy hammers will continue to be manufactured.

Use hundreds of kilograms or even thousands of kilograms of water conservancy heavy hammers and repeatedly beat them to create high-quality steel.

The next step is of course to prepare for the development of gunpowder guns.

The most difficult thing to do in gunpowder guns is actually the barrel. They need to be strong enough to withstand the continuous explosion of gunpowder. They also need to be smooth and spiral slides inside.

It is extremely difficult to make a gun barrel.

He had to make the wooden model of the gun first, so that the craftsmen could know how to build a gunpowder gun. Otherwise, just talking about the appearance, the craftsmen would probably have no idea what it was and where to start.

With the gunpowder gun, he doesn't need to dance to make guns.

Who dares to assassinate him and serve him with a gun?

Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu were talking.

The guards of the royal palace hurried in and sent a secret letter, "Son-in-law, someone sent a secret letter, saying that it was the son-in-law who personally opened it."

Chu Tianxiu was surprised. When he opened it, he saw that it was a letter sent by someone from King Xiang Anshi of Huainan. His words were sincere and sincere.

The letter directly stated that Xiao Hunhou offended all the princes and the powerful, and was already targeted by the public, so he must take care of his safety.

Although Xiaohunhou now looks down on him, King Huainan, and he dislikes his power too small.

He, King Huainan, went back to Shouchun. If one day the storm turned into a dragon, he would definitely regard Xiaohunhou as the prime minister. He begs him, Xiaohunhou, to wait for the King Huainan, the day when the emperor returns.

Chu Tianxiu was stunned.

Xiang Anshi, the King of Huainan, is so bold. He dares to send him a letter of rebellion, so why don’t he be afraid that he will turn it over to the emperor?

But the King of Huainan is indeed not afraid of rumor.

When the emperor saw this secret letter, the King of Huainan actually wanted to regard Xiaohunhou as prime minister, and he might have suspected that Xiaohunhou had any collusion with the King of Huainan.

"This King of Huainan..."

After watching Chu Tianxiu, he was amused and crying.

He did not have much contact with King Xiang Anshi of Huainan.

This prince had a great ambition.

But his talent is very disgusting!

I refined a elixir and refined it into tofu, and then took it as a favor tofu, and sent it to the powerful families in Jinling City from door to door to door... With this ability, I also wanted to enter Jinling City and ascend to the throne of the emperor?!

The possibility of the King of Huainan's rebellion was even worse than that of King Xiang Bi of Wu. Xiang Bi was really rich and powerful, working hard, building weapons and recruiting soldiers.

The Xiang family princes wanted to rebel and resist the court's wealth, which was long as Chu Tianxiu expected, and he didn't care.

In ancient times, the rebellion of princes was not something that took only a few days.

Judging from this situation, it will take at least several months or even half a year to make a big noise.

"Xiang Anshi, the king of Huainan, is very famous. He gathered famous scholars from all over the world to compile "Huainan Honglie" to promote his reputation. Most of the time, he has long been rebellious... His husband would have less contact with him."

Princess Li Yu was speechless after reading it.

"This is natural, no matter him."

Chu Tianxiu shook his head and threw the secret letter into the stove, destroying the corpse.

...

After Chu Tianxiu made the wooden model of the gunpowder gun, he sent someone to Danyang County and ordered Li Gannian to arrange for the blacksmith to imitate it.

After it is made, it also needs to be repeatedly tested and improved.

Without months of hard work, it may be difficult to create a satisfactory gun.

Afterwards, Chu Tianxiu took Zuer and the guards of Prince Peace Mansion to a newly built glass workshop near the suburbs of Jinling City.

This is his new source of wealth.

Luxury goods that can be made by hand, as long as they monopolize technology, are even more terrifying than the most famous silk.

He needs money for everything he does, so he naturally has to use this big killer weapon to make money.

Dachu has no Western-style glass yet.

I only know that glass, agate and other treasures are treasures.

The glass before the Great Chu was almost opaque.

Once this glass workshop starts production, it will soon become the largest luxury goods base in Dachu.

Chu Tianxiu went to see the manufacturing of glass.

Dozens of glass craftsmen kept using different quartz sand, alkali and other formulas, and repeatedly tested them. All colors of glass could be refined, and finally made almost completely transparent glass.

Transparent glass is most useful and profitable.
