Ming Dynasty: Huddle up in Beiping and be the magistrate of the county. Chapter 203 of the text volume: I want to send troops! Latest website: "This..."
Tao Yiping was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Master, these bullets are very valuable. It takes two of us two days to make one bullet. In addition to the materials used for these bullets, the two of us are just I tried one..."
"One bullet takes two days?"
Guo An glanced at the two of them speechlessly, "If that's the case, why do we need molds?"
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Master, I don't know. This is the first time for the two of us to make such an exquisite fire system. We couldn't guarantee that it would be successful, so we didn't make a mold!"
"Stupid!"
Guo An looked helpless, "Who among us, or His Highness King Yan, has deducted money from gunpowder workshops like yours?
Steel, sugar, saltpeter... and even brass, aren't these materials in sufficient supply? What are you worried about?"
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting opened their mouths with wry smiles on their faces.
It’s because His Highness and Master provided so much that they didn’t dare to waste it at will!
Guo An ignored the two of them and walked straight out.
"Let's go and give it a try!"
"Yes, Master!"
The two of them quickly followed!
At the testing site, Guo An stood ten feet away, raised the hand in his hand, and applied a little force to the wooden stick opposite.
"Bang!"
After a short and rapid loud noise, the iron plate ten feet away made a muffled sound and flew five or six steps away.
"Okay!"
Guo An's face was filled with joy. He ignored the numbness in his arms and walked over quickly. When he saw the bullet embedded in the iron plate, he looked happy.
At this moment, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting also came over.
Looking at the happy Guo An, Tao Yiping said attentively: "Master, this kind of hand can penetrate an iron plate even if it is three feet away!"
"Hmm!"
Guo An nodded slightly, "How many of these seeds do you still have in your hands?"
Tao Yiping replied: "Back to Master, these are the only five left!"
Guo An said: "If that's the case, then make us a hundred more, and also make us three of this kind of fire system!"
"Yes, Master!"
Tao Yiping responded, still a little reluctant.
"Master, I thought I could try the distance of five feet!"
Guo An couldn't help but glare, "There are only five bullets left, how dare you waste them?"
Tao Yiping was startled.
Guo An waved his hand and said: "Okay, hurry up and make fire weapons and incendiary bombs for us, and leave the grenades! We will take this fire weapon away directly!"
"Yes, Master!"
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting responded respectfully.
Guo An left the gunpowder workshop and went to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Zhu Di needs to be informed about the hand control.
Otherwise, according to Zhu Laosi's stingy temper, he will lose his temper again when he finds out about it in the future.
"See Your Highness!"
Find Zhu Di and Guo An salutes.
Zhu Di asked curiously: "Guo Qing is looking for us, but what happened to the gunpowder workshop?"
Guo An said: "Your Highness, do you still remember that a year ago, Wei Chen asked Tao Yiping and Yang Ting to make a very short fire system?"
Hearing this, a trace of curiosity flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, "But was that Huo Tong created?"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Guo An took out the fire weapon directly from his arms and placed it in front of Zhu Di.
"Huh?"
Zhu Di's eyes lit up, he picked up the fire system and looked around carefully. The more he looked at it, the happier he became.
However, I have some doubts.
"Guo Qing, although the craftsmanship of this object is very exquisite, it is much shorter than the ordinary fire system, but is it still powerful?"
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, please don't underestimate this thing. We have tried it in the gunpowder workshop. It can directly penetrate an iron plate ten feet away!"
"One foot away?"
Zhu Di frowned slightly, "Guo Qing, the range of this object is so short?"
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, this thing is so small, so its range will naturally be shorter."
Zhu Di said helplessly: "More than just being a little shorter, such a distance is simply worthless, a waste of such good craftsmanship and steel."
On the contrary, Guo An looked happy, "Your Highness, this thing is a sharp weapon for humble ministers."
"Oh?"
After hearing this, Zhu Di finally understood.
"Is this a fire system specially made by Guo Qing for himself?"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, I am weak and weak. When I follow Your Highness to conquer Goguryeo in the future, there will be some Goguryeo thieves who want to assassinate me.
As long as the humble minister brings this fire command along with him, within one foot, no matter how powerful the thief is in martial arts, he can only hate the underworld!"
Zhu Di looked disdainful, "It's just a fire leader, how can it be as magical as Guo Qing said?"
Guo An smiled coquettishly, "His Royal Highness is extraordinary in skill and invincible in martial arts, so he doesn't need the fire system. However, the minister is just a civil servant with no power, so he can only rely on this kind of external thing!"
"In this case, Guo Qing will take good care of it."
Zhu Di immediately lost interest in the Huo Tong in his hand.
Seeing this, Guo An was naturally filled with joy.
……
A few days later.
Shen Zhuang came to Beiping Mansion again and reported to Guo An that the Shen family had built more than 20 sugar workshops in Fujian, Guangdong and other places.
Guo An complimented him casually, and Shen Zhuang left with a happy face and stayed in Beiping Mansion.
Soon, it was time for spring plowing.
Most of the workshops in Prince Yan's Mansion began to stop operating, and all farmers began to cultivate rice.
At the same time.
Due to the warmer weather, the northern expedition army, which had been prepared for half a year, was finally issued with Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict.
