"I fired a test shot today, and I still feel that your gunpowder is too weak."
"Do you have the formula for gunpowder? Bring it to me."
One sulfur two charcoal three saltpeter.
That’s right!
Zhu Youde remembers that the black powder formula was in the TV series, and there was nothing wrong with it!
No, this ratio!
"When you usually prepare gunpowder, do you always use the same amount of three ingredients?"
"Yes, this is handed down from the former Song Dynasty. According to the information recorded by the Firearms Supervision Bureau, the manufacturing of muskets has always been this way."
That’s the problem!
Although Zhu Youde didn't remember how to mix the three things to create real military black powder.
But there is definitely something wrong with dividing it into three equal parts!
How to get the correct ratio?
Zhu Youde only regretted that in his previous life, he never thought that one day he would dress up as an emperor!
etc!
I am the emperor!
Do you want to know the correct ratio?
I have money and people, so I can find people to try all kinds of things. I can’t just use the exhaustive method!
"Old Feng and Old Tang, you should immediately draw up a regulation to test the ratio of the three materials of gunpowder."
"The corresponding power of each combination must be recorded in detail."
"This is a hard job. Pay attention to confidentiality measures and use as many people as you need to prepare more powerful gunpowder as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty is saying that changing the ratio of the three materials can make the gunpowder more powerful?"
"right!"
"Then I will arrange it. But if the power of gunpowder increases, the wall of the gunpowder chamber will have to be improved. Old Tang, I think we can start with the thickness of the wall..."
"Go back to the palace and don't disturb them."
Feng Baigong and Tang Huo discussed for a long time, and when they looked up they found that it was already dark.
Then I realized that they seemed to have forgotten something very important.
"My dear mother, where is the emperor?"
Feng Baigong looked at Tang Huo, who jumped up in panic, turned his head and looked around at a loss, and held his forehead in silence.
Of course I left early!
"Brother Tang, there is no need to be so nervous. Since the emperor didn't interrupt us, it means there is no blame."
"real?"
"The emperor is so generous!"
"Brother Tang, you are also the head of the country now, and you have made such great achievements as the Fire Gun. The emperor is also approachable, so you don't have to be so frightened all the time."
"Master Feng, I am a forger...and the Emperor is an immortal, so you must respect him all the time!"
Feng Baigong looked at him in confusion.
"What kind of statement is this? Although the emperor is the emperor, he is also a mortal body."
"No, no, no! The emperor must be an immortal. Mr. Zhou told the story of Tongque Palace that the emperor was taken to visit the fairy world by an immortal. The emperor must be the reincarnation of an immortal to be qualified!"
Tang Huo's tone was very determined.
Feng Baigong was puzzled.
"Brother Tang, I don't talk about the strange power and chaos of the gods. The talk of immortals is too vague. Lord Zhou's words are just used to promote the Tongque Palace."
The emperor made up those words himself, and he was on the scene at the time!
Tang Huo shook his head.
"Your Majesty must be the reincarnation of an immortal and must have been to the fairy world! Otherwise, how could the emperor know the trigger, know what a more powerful firearm looks like, and know that the ratio of gunpowder is more powerful?"
These words...
Feng Baigong fell into deep thought.
It wasn't Brother Tang who reminded me. He was so obsessed with research that he really hadn't thought about this.
"You know it without learning. Could it be that His Majesty's words about traveling to the Immortal Palace were not just casual remarks, but that he had actually been there?"
"of course!"
Feng Baigong looked at Tang Huo with a pious face and felt that his world view had been shaken.
He had seen His Majesty get angry because of the external weakness of the civil and military officials, and he had heard His Majesty say that he would save this dangerous beam!
At that time, he thought His Majesty was just shouting slogans.
But today, apart from still being addicted to women and doting on eunuchs.
Each of the other things may seem ridiculous to the outside world, but they can actually make Daliang develop in a good direction.
And these incredible forward-looking insights!
Could it be that your majesty is really an immortal?
Early morning.
The emperor has not arrived yet.
Most of the officials were idle, their eyes glancing back and forth between Zhang Shoufu and the new Minister of Civil Affairs, Xu Xiu.
I heard that "father and son" turned against each other?
What great news!
Members of Zhang's party thought that without a flatterer, they might be able to further become the chief minister's confidant.
Non-Zhang Party members were happy to see the joke.
Zhang Shoufu has such a good eldest son, he must be able to die "filial piety" every day, right?
To everyone's playful gaze.
Zhang Shoufu's face was as gloomy as dripping water, while Xu Xiu shrank, lowered his head and said nothing.
After Zhu Youde sat down, he saw this interesting scene.
"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you!"
Unsurprisingly, Zhang Shoufu said that Xu Xiu was not capable enough to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he wanted to choose someone wise!"
Zhang Shoufu originally thought that this was just a formality.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Fan Song stood up.
"Zhang Shoufu, your majesty is the emperor! How can your golden words be changed overnight?!"
"You said the day before yesterday that Xu Xiu was calm, steady, and wise, and that he was worthy of a big job! The emperor believed in Zhang Shouxu without hesitation and appointed him on the spot!"
"Today we have to replace him again. Do you want everyone in the world to think that the emperor's words are just farts?"
"Fan Ci assists you, which is an insult to gentlemen!"
"I think Zhang Shoufu is the treasonous one!"
This is another conflict!
The two gangs, Luo Shangshu and Feng Shangshu, watched the first and second assistants quarreling, and the more they watched, the happier they became.
As he spoke, Fan Song knelt down.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely undesirable to change your order overnight! If word spreads, the Three Kingdoms will definitely say that our rulers and ministers are all talking nonsense!"
"When the time comes, where will Daliang's face be? More importantly, where will His Majesty's face be?"
"So Your Majesty, what Zhang Shoufu said is unacceptable and is an insult to His Majesty's honorable name!"
The emperor looked at Zhang Shoufu with a hesitant expression: "Zhang Shoufu, what you said is indeed inconsistent. Moreover, Xu Aiqing just asked Wang Banban to donate one million taels to me yesterday, saying that it was his relatives' business income and donated it to me to expand the Tongque Palace.
"
"I think he is a very loyal minister!"
Foolish king!
The last paragraph is your focus!
The loyal ministers glared at the emperor.
That one million taels was clearly the treasury that Xu Xiu had plundered, and the people's wealth and wealth he had plundered. How could he give it back to his relatives' business income, and defraud fools?
But this fool on the high platform still believed it!
With such a ridiculous and stupid emperor in Daliang, the country is really only a few years away from subjugation!
Zhang Shoufu turned his head and looked at Xu Xiu fiercely.
Xu Xiu first subconsciously avoided looking at him, but then he raised his head without fear of looking into his eyes.
Now that I have it, I don’t want to experience the despair of losing it!
Mr. Ge, you can’t blame me for this, it’s all because of you who forced me to do so!
Zhang Shoufu's face became increasingly gloomy.
No wonder this guy was so confident today and defected to the Eunuch Party so quickly!
He also used money to win the emperor's support!
Now that the emperor was short-handed, and now Fan Song said that he didn't want to lose face, he definitely didn't want to change the official minister.
If he persists to the end, the little emperor should be able to listen to him.
Even exaggerating, he can mobilize the party and impeach with great fanfare, or he can ignore the little emperor and still get Xu Xiu down.
But if this is true, there will be a rift between the ruler and his ministers.
It will inevitably affect the plan to seize military power in the Western Region, and the gains outweigh the losses!
So let’s give it up for today.
Bear with him for a few days!
The little emperor is very forgetful, so wait a few days before mentioning it again. It should be fine after this.
"It's because I'm impatient. I'll think about it carefully before I make a decision when I get back."
"Okay, Zhang Shoufu, please think about it again."
"No matter what decision you make, I respect your opinion. Xu Aiqing, have a good chat with Zhang Shoufu. I heard that you two are as close as father and son. Zhang Shoufu may have misunderstood you today. How can father and son have an overnight feud?"
All the officials laughed when they heard this.
The emperor's words about "father and son", isn't this just adding salt to Zhang Shoufu's wounds?
The dust has settled.
Xu Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and raised his chest, feeling proud.
Many officials watched, but fell into deep thought.
