Lin Fengjin had no interest in what happened next, and did not follow him to watch. After handing the snake-seeking wine to Min Zhen, he went to another place, which was the newly built Gewuyuan of Donglin Academy.
The establishment of the Gewu Yuan is naturally inextricably linked to Lin Fengjin. It can be said that most of the people involved are related to him. Moreover, the funds for the Gewu Yuan are also allocated by the Lin family, tens of thousands of taels every month.
Going in, it seemed like a gold-eating monster. Many people in the Lin family complained about this. Fortunately, Lin Fengjin was a strong person, and Lin Yuwai's support for his son was almost unconditional, so he could persevere.
It is worth mentioning that the establishment of the Gewu Academy was naturally regarded as a thorn in the Momen's side and a thorn in the flesh. Even the Momen of Nanzheng and the Momen of Dongxia teamed up to raid once. Unfortunately, Donglin Academy was a thorn in the side.
He had already taken precautions, and secondly, he was extremely powerful and successfully repelled it.
At this time, the east is turbulent, and it can be expected that Wu Zuocheng will be involved in a huge whirlpool from now on, and the shadow of war will soon shroud it. When Lin Fengjin designed Wu Zuocheng, he somewhat ignored the attack from the sea, so
Now I can only hope that Gewuyuan can provide me with some help.
After arriving at the Gewuyuan, others saw that it was a big benefactor. Of course, the snow dog who presided over the Gewuyuan came out to greet him in person. Lin Fengjin told his request, first of all, defensive weapons, and then the master+chief+
Feng + Literature wanted to guard against attacks from the sea. Snow Dog nodded slightly and asked Lin Fengjin to go back. After passing numerous guards, he came to a machine.
Lin Fengjin's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw this piece of mechanical equipment, because this thing actually looked quite similar to the whale hunting cannon in his previous life memory, and it was fired by something called the Shenwu Cannon.
Iron crossbows can actually be equipped with smoke pots, fire oil pots, plague pots, etc. according to different combat situations.
Moreover, the complete system of this Shenwu Cannon is divided into two parts. The first part is the mechanical device for aiming and launching, and the other part is the orbital logistics part where two mechanics provide winding, loading, etc., so only two people are needed.
It can be controlled, and the rate of fire can be maintained at an astonishing six rounds per minute!
Moreover, even if the machine man is responsible for winding and the logistics part of loading is broken, it can be immediately switched to manual mode, but this will consume eight manpower and the rate of fire will be reduced by half, to three rounds per minute.
More importantly, Lin Fengjin discovered that the power source of this Shenwu Cannon was not a noose like the Eight Bull Crossbow, but a spring! The meaning behind this is self-evident, and its service life will be doubled. The most intuitive
The data speaks for itself:
The average firing life of an eight-oxen crossbow made of high-quality beef tendon is only about fifteen times. The noose must be replaced, and more than one-fifth of the cases will be broken within five times.
After using the spring as the propulsion force, the average firing life has been increased to fifty times, and more importantly, the creation of the spring can be carried out all year round, and the main material of the noose of the Eight Ox Crossbow is cattle, sheep and animal sinews.
It relies entirely on imports from the north, and is even more affected by natural disasters, business routes being cut off, etc.
Not only that, the Shenwu Cannon's firing range is 1.5 times that of the Baniu Crossbow. After using the standard loading system of the Guanren, the rate of fire is twice that of the Baniu Crossbow.
As a person with a strong strategic and tactical vision, Lin Fengjin could certainly see that the Shenwu Cannon already had a huge advantage, so he readily paid a deposit of one million taels of silver and transferred the more than fifty guns in the Gewuyuan's inventory.
All the Shenwu cannons were bought.
This is also because Lu Yu led the Snake-Eating Army to be almost invincible and set off a frenzy of attacks in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Therefore, within the Northern Qi Dynasty, cavalry was valued far more than other arms. Therefore, the Shenwu Cannon was so heavy that it had to be
Things that can be used for defense will almost never appear in the sight of military bosses.
In their eyes, this divine weapon is so expensive that it can arm ten cavalry to the teeth. Can such a "toy" that can only be used for defense be compared with ten elite cavalry who can attack and defend well?
?What a joke!
In fact, it is also thanks to Lin Fengjin's persistence in injecting money into Gewuyuan. Otherwise, it is conceivable that Gewuyuan will invest all its energy, money and research direction in all aspects related to cavalry.
At this time, Lin Fengjin could only sigh, realizing that he had no support at all here.
When Lin Fengjin said that he needed the Gewuyuan to devote all its efforts to the production of Shenwu cannons and that he needed at least three hundred more, the person in charge of the reception was already smiling from ear to ear. At this time, Xue who was accompanying him
When the dog disciple saw this, he finally gritted his teeth and mysteriously took Lin Fengjin to a secret area and said:
"Since the young master supports us so much, then there happens to be a trial work of a divine heavy artillery here at this time. The power is very terrifying. When making this thing, all the rare Dongguo Iron Mother was consumed, and every time it is carried out
It is almost a waste of money when firing, because it consumes mercury crystals. If the shooting is carried out at the extreme distance, it is initially estimated that the cost of firing one shot will exceed fifteen thousand taels of silver."
After hearing this, Lin Fengjin was a little shocked. One shot would burn fifteen thousand taels of silver. What if it missed the target? Wouldn't that mean that all this wealth was wasted?
However, there was a vague feeling of joy in his heart, because the people in the Gewuyuan were not fools, and it was impossible for them to regard themselves as fools. That meant one thing, that is, the people who were sent out were not fools.
The power is worth at least fifteen thousand taels of silver. What kind of power is this! You must see it!
But when he saw this divine heavy cannon, he was also shocked, because at this moment, Lin Fengjin felt that he had almost gone back in time and saw the small cannon that he remembered in his previous life! And the appearance of this thing is also very good.
, probably in order to highlight its preciousness, some decorative parts on it are inlaid with gold, silver, etc., which are brilliant and look particularly dazzling, rich and domineering!
Snow Dog's disciples took Lin Fengjin to the test firing range. When they arrived at the field, they smiled bitterly and said:
"Well, sir, our money is really limited, so we can only test-fire one shot for you to see. You have to understand."
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"As long as it's not just one shot."
Seeing this, the Snow Dog disciple hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Of course it's impossible. I won't tell you any lies. Every time this Shenwu heavy cannon fires, some of the Dongguo iron mother poured into it will be lost. However, I can guarantee that it will never be possible within a hundred cannons."
Problems will occur, but as long as it is properly maintained, its maximum lifespan is even two hundred shots."
Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"I understand, can we test-fire now?"
The Snow Dog disciple nodded, and then saw someone running forward. The filling was completed in just two or three seconds. What was very strange was that it seemed that two wine cups of unknown transparent liquid were poured into the side of the Shenwu Heavy Cannon.
That's it. Then Snow Dog asked Lin Fengjin to come up, signaled to Lin Fengjin, pointed the muzzle at a stone wall in front, and then lightly stepped on it with his right foot to activate the firing mechanism.
At this moment, Lin Fengjin saw three soft "chichi" sounds coming from the barrel of the Shenwu heavy artillery. Then three red dots flew out and nailed the gun as far as two or three hundred feet away.
The stone wall outside suddenly exploded, with smoke and dust billowing in. The stone wall suddenly collapsed, and a large amount of dust shot straight into the sky.
When the smoke cleared, they saw three more cracks in the stone wall with a radius of more than ten feet. The broken stones were rolling around in a scattered manner. They were distributed within thirty or forty feet, and the thickness of this stone wall was at least
It’s half a foot too!!
Lin Fengjin was shocked at this moment. Such power actually has the scattering effect of a face-to-face attack. How can it not be shocking?
But soon, Lin Fengjin reacted and said seriously:
"The two wine cups you poured in just now are worth fifteen thousand taels?"
The Snow Dog disciple thought for a while and said:
"It should have been a regular launch just now, not an extreme launch. It cost about ten thousand taels. For the extreme launch, you need to add three cups of jade liquid. The range can reach a thousand feet! Of course, the accuracy of the launch will decrease accordingly.
The interval will also be extended accordingly, which will cost fifteen thousand taels. More importantly, its attack is not magical, so it is particularly powerful on the battlefield."
Lin Fengjin said:
"What are the parameters for conventional launches?"
Snow Dog disciple saw the following words:
"The conventional firing range is within five hundred feet. Mr. Weili Lin, you have already seen that you need to wait for about half a cup of tea before firing again. However, the range of extreme firing is beyond a thousand feet, and the firing interval must be extended to a cup of tea."
.”
Lin Fengjin calculated in his mind that half a cup of tea would take about five minutes. Calculated this way, he could fire at least ten times in an hour. Although this rate of fire was somewhat unsatisfactory, he still accepted it.
Within the range. So Lin Fengjin pondered for a moment and then said very simply:
"You said that this divine weapon can be fired at least a hundred times, right?"
The Snow Dog disciple patted his chest and said:
"If it's one less time, Mr. Lin will chop me down."
Lin Fengjin said:
"Okay! As you said, come to my house in three days to collect the money, and along with it, fifty portions of jade liquid for filling."
The Snow Dog disciple smiled bitterly and said:
"Sir, this jade liquid is a unique formula. Several of the raw materials are extremely expensive and there is no way to buy them on credit. Even if you make enough ingredients, this is a delicate job. You can only make it every day.
One or two parts of jade liquid”
Lin Fengjin was certainly not the kind of miser who held onto his money and refused to let it go. Although he knew that the quotations offered by the Gewuyuan guys were reasonable, he considered that he was in a hurry to get the goods, so he didn't care at all, so he impatiently gave it to him.
Waving his hand and saying:
"Don't bother me with these little things. I will ask someone to deliver the money. You go all out to produce. Don't end up with nothing when I come to pick up the goods! Also, when they prepare the jade liquid, part of it should be as much as possible
Part of it enhances its explosive effect, and part of it enhances its burning effect! I don’t like moderation. It’s best to be the best in one aspect.”
After coming out of Gewuyuan, Lin Fengjin also felt that many things were complicated, but in the final analysis, they were all about money. When he came out of the academy, he saw Zhu Xi's car slowly driving out of the academy. This man
Zhu Zi looked very graceful, and there was no sign of anger. However, looking at the indignant expressions of the disciples around him, one knew that the matter of Zhu Zi's handwriting was probably finalized.
After seeing this scene, Lin Fengjin's heart moved, he stopped and went to look for Min Zhen again.
At this time, Min Zhen was taking Snake Wine to treat his family. Suddenly he saw Lin Fengjin coming over, so he asked people to sit down and serve tea. The relationship between Lin Fengjin and Min Zhen was also a teacher.
Friend, he seemed quite casual, so he got straight to the point:
"It seems that the matter of Zhu Zi's handwriting has been finalized?"
Min Zhen smiled and said:
"With all the witnesses and physical evidence about the bet, can he still turn the tables? By the way. Unfortunately, when I brought it over, all the spiritual energy in the handwriting was lost. Otherwise, you can take a look at it. It will be very beneficial to you. In the future, you
Remember to come."
Lin Fengjin nodded at this time and said:
"Okay, thank you sir for your kindness, but I came here this time to ask you where is the robber who came with you to commit fraud?"
Min Zhen smiled and said:
"He should have been sent to the training office, because this person is a gangster. So he will be transferred to the Yecheng magistrate for detention. After the charges are verified and the identity is verified, there will naturally be punishment according to national laws. How can you
Are you suddenly interested in this person?"
Lin Fengjin didn't hide anything, and said simply:
"Master Min, you should also know. There is red energy from the east, and some of my small properties happen to be the first to bear the brunt. It is when a desperado is needed. This man knows how to advance and retreat. He knows gains and losses, and he can actually use thunder. If he uses it well,
If so, it would be a great help."
Min Zhen nodded and muttered:
"Money, property, and other things are, after all, external things. You can't take them too seriously. This time is said to be a catastrophe in the world of mortals. You must be careful."
Lin Fengjin nodded, said goodbye after drinking a cup of tea, and then asked the servants to go back and tell them that as long as it was the night when the shopkeeper in Yedu was in charge, they would all go to the first floor of the world for a banquet. At this time, Lin Fengjin was also very happy.
The hot potato of the world's No. 1 Soup was divested from its own property in advance, because this place was actually making money at a loss and was considered a non-performing asset. At this critical juncture, if it had not been divested before, it would be temporary now.
The resale was really unprepared.
Seizing this moment of time, Lin Fengjin went to the magistrate's office in Yecheng to "visit friends." Although the father-in-law of the Zuo family is no longer in charge here, there is a saying that "officials are as clear as water, and officials are as smooth as oil."
The operation of the prefect's yamen is still supported by a large group of officials, but these people are passed down from generation to generation and will never move.
This group of people who hang out in the officialdom are the most snobbish. If Lin Fengjin is unlucky and unlucky, then he must be ignored. But the fact is that Lin Fengjin's current father-in-law has already surrendered.
An Sheng suddenly became the Imperial Master, and he was very talkative in front of Lu Yu, while Lin Fengjin was obviously as stable as a mountain after handing over the No. 1 roast in the world.
Therefore, when Lin Fengjin came to the case chamber (equivalent to a confidential secretary and had certain real power), he received the warmest reception, and then Lin Fengjin threw down a five hundred tael note.
After giving the money note, he said a few words indifferently, and was quickly taken into the prison by the jailer, and appeared in front of the unlucky Zhang Lei.
In fact, after this lone thief recognized Lin Fengjin's Seven Kingdoms Sword, he decisively betrayed his teammates. He originally thought he could escape by leaving immediately, but the cruel facts still proved that he would
The First Academy in the World thinks too simply.
After Zhang Lei escaped from Liyu, he saw an ox cart coming from the opposite side. Then for some reason, he instinctively felt that there was a huge danger lurking in the ox cart, and even gave birth to a strange animal.
The extremely weak mouse saw the cat's illusion!! Unfortunately, Zhang Lei felt that he was the weak mouse. This was an experience he had never had before!
Fortunately, as a capable thief, Zhang Lei simply ran away to the side. Even he, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, felt that this was not a shameful thing, just like ordinary people who encountered floods or earthquakes.
It is a normal reaction to cry and run away during a fire. Being able to escape is the most important thing.
But when Zhang Lei escaped half a mile towards the side road, he realized that he had made a big mistake.
Because there are so few people on this road.
The previous long street was bustling with scholars and merchants.
Zhang Lei immediately knew that the appearance of the ox cart earlier was definitely not a coincidence. What was the biggest weakness of Donglin Academy at this time?
Naturally, he was a little afraid that Zhang Lei would recklessly raise his butcher knife and kill indiscriminately, which would be bad if it affected his own soldiers.
You know, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this place. Three people are like a tiger. Even if Zhang Lei only inflicts a few minor injuries on the scholars of Donglin Academy, those unscrupulous scholars can go around and spread the word that Donglin Academy is not worthy of its name.
, he couldn't even get rid of mere thieves on his own territory, but in vain he injured the scholars who came to study.
Zhang Lei immediately wanted to turn back, but his retreat was blocked by two people silently. When he looked again, he found that he was surrounded. At this time, Zhang Lei decisively showed his ability to bend and stretch, and sighed.
Then he knelt down on the ground, dropped his weapon, held his head in his hands, and tied up his hands.
Because he knew he still had a way out,
The way out is that he has not dealt harshly with the people of Donglin Academy. As long as there is no blood, then it will not cost his life. A prestigious family like Donglin Academy should also have a series of standards of conduct, and it is impossible to abuse them.
Kill, or it is impossible to kill indiscriminately without being provoked.
At the same time, Zhang Lei was also very confident that as long as he was not killed on the spot and showed a good cooperative attitude, he would either be let go or handed over to the government in the end. Things would be very simple at this point. In more than ten years
During his career as a thief, Zhang Lei also established a series of connections of his own.
I believe that soon, his deputy will bring a sum of money to take care of things, and he will regain his freedom in a month or half a year, and then stay far away from this damn ghost place. If possible, Zhang Lei feels that he even
I have a psychological shadow on this place, and I don’t plan to come to Yedu again in this life.
But at this moment, Zhang Lei heard the sound of the cell door opening, and then footsteps came outside his cell. He thought this was a sign that he would have an extra prison cellmate, but after he raised his eyes, Zhang Lei
I felt my heart sink.
Because he saw Lin Fengjin’s familiar face
In Zhang Lei's mind, Lin Fengjin was probably here to vent his anger, so he took a deep breath, prepared himself for a beating, and began to think about how to make himself miserable so as not to suffer more.
head.
However, Lin Fengjin just waved the jailer to go out, looked at him with interest for a while and said:
"I have heard about your behavior after you escaped just now. It can be seen that you are a smart person. What I like most is to deal with smart people. Let's put it this way, I think you are quite a talent, both in terms of personal strength and...
In terms of intelligence, so I'm attracted to you. Don't be nervous. My words don't mean anything against you. So, I have to ask your opinion, are you willing to work for me?"
Zhang Lei opened his mouth and said in shock:
"Sir, what are you talking about?"
Lin Fengjin seemed to have expected Zhang Lei's answer. He smiled and walked out. When he was about to go out, he suddenly turned back and said with a smile:
"We will meet again."
After Lin Fengjin went out, the muscles on Zhang Lei's face suddenly twitched and jumped, because he suddenly had an extremely ominous feeling in his heart. He felt that his dream of being released from prison seemed to be rapidly shattering. The most terrible thing was that
Unfortunately, he was still in jail, unable to do anything but silently waiting for his fate.
Zhang Lei suddenly punched the stone wall next to him in annoyance. Blood flowed from the wound on his fist. He suddenly didn't realize it and gritted his teeth and said:
"Hell, I'd rather he beat me to vent his anger!!" (To be continued...)
ps: Happy New Year everyone, it will break out tomorrow.
