The Queen gave Young Master Liu a roll of her eyes. She had been hanging out with a heartless person for a long time, and she didn't know whether what Young Master Liu said was serious or not.
Reluctantly, he looked away from the cannons, and finally looked at Young Master Liu with some reluctance.
"Is it true that I can only live with eye addiction?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently, walked to an artillery piece, stopped, and patted the artillery piece gently.
"Excluding the scraps that were not successfully cast, the average cost of a cannon is nearly one hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver. One hundred thousand taels is just the cost of the cannon, not to mention the cannonballs."
As expected, the Queen looked at Mr. Liu with dumbfounded eyes, a trace of astonishment flashed in her bright eyes.
"How...how can there be so much silver?"
"You think you can succeed in every skill you cast with this thing? It is also a taller thing among the dwarfs. Only one of them can succeed occasionally, so I told you, you can't afford this thing.
When the cannon is fired, there are ten thousand taels of gold. When this thing is fired, there are ten thousand taels of gold.
It’s really powerful, but it’s also a bottomless pit.”
"Okay...Okay, I understand politely."
The Queen knew a little about Young Master Liu, and knew that since he dared to let her see these artillery pieces, there was no need to deceive her elsewhere.
The cost of building a door is one hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver. Not to mention the current national strength of the Jin Kingdom, even the Great Dragon probably cannot support these powerful weapons.
Young Master Liu looked at the queen's lonely expression, raised his hand and patted the queen's shoulders.
"I really like it. How about I give you a small steel cannon?"
The queen's delicate body trembled, her whole body was excited, and she looked at Young Master Liu with inexplicable joy: "Really?"
"Of course it's true, haven't you seen it before? It's incredibly powerful! Whether it's the number of shells or the rate of fire, it's definitely the best in the world and has few rivals.
It's no exaggeration to say that this guy can hit wherever he points. He can use it freely.
The most important thing is that it is safe and reliable, and you don’t have to worry about the danger of the chamber exploding.”
The Queen looked at Young Master Liu's smiling eyes and gradually came back to her senses. Her joyful expression gradually calmed down. She raised her elbow and gave Young Master Liu a hard blow on the chest.
"Dirty bastard."
He slapped Mr. Liu's hand on his shoulder and walked towards the rest of the warehouse.
I thought this heartless person suddenly had a bad conscience.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just some dirty talk between the bed.
The Queen stopped in front of the tightly sealed wooden box, bent down and blew on the dust on it: "What's in it?"
"gun."
"Red Tassel Gun?"
"Your red tassel gun is so short."
The Queen glanced at Young Master Liu lightly and snorted disdainfully.
"My ones are not that short, and I don't know how long yours are. What's the matter?"
"I......"
The Queen ignored Liu Mingzhi's somewhat embarrassed expression and raised her hand to pat the lid of the box: "Can you open it and take a look?"
"You don't need to open it. There are samples stored separately. Those that are sealed should not be opened easily. They are prone to rust."
Liu Mingzhi turned and walked out of a corner of the warehouse. After a moment, he took out a flintlock wrapped in canvas and slowly removed the canvas on it. The flintlock was handed to the Queen.
"What? The one inside is exactly the same as this one, there's nothing strange about it."
The Queen took the flintlock gun and looked it up and down a few times with a thoughtful look on her eyes.
"Isn't this...the firecracker described in the book? Why did you say it was a gun?"
Liu Mingzhi frowned and nodded slightly: "It seems that you really spent a lot of time on the weapon essence, and you can remember it so clearly.
Is this also a type of musket? It’s also called a flintlock gun.”
The queen lowered her head and just looked at the flintlock gun in her hand, not understanding why this thing was so powerful as described.
“Can polite words be copied?”
Liu Mingzhi shrugged silently: "Same as artillery? Give up this idea as soon as possible? The requirements for the embryo of this thing are also extraordinary. Your generals and supervisors in the Jin Kingdom do not have this strength."
The queen nodded helplessly and returned the flintlock gun to Young Master Liu.
From heaven to hell is exactly how the queen feels now.
I have always wanted to find out where Liu Mingzhi got these powerful weapons on the battlefield, and now I finally have the opportunity to see these things? But there is no chance to take them for myself.
Watching without being able to move is the most painful thing in the world, right?
Liu Mingzhi put the flintlock gun back into the distance and walked out of the storehouse holding the queen's hand.
"Let's go? I've seen what I need to see, and there's almost no big difference in the rest? The same is true for the other warehouse. There are no more exotic weapons."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the queen's somewhat gloomy expression, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't worry? These weapons are not used to attack your Kingdom of Jin.
Likewise, I can’t afford it.”
"Then you make it and fight..."
As the Queen spoke, the silk map she saw in Young Master Liu's study not long ago came to mind, with a look of shock in her bright eyes.
Could it be that the map is not just a imaginary map, but that there really is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
After locking the warehouse again, Liu Mingzhi took the key back from the cuff of the dazed Queen. The Queen came back to her senses and stared blankly at the key in Young Master Liu's hand, but stopped talking.
Liu Mingzhi pinched the queen's nose and laughed happily.
"To put it bluntly, Liu Mingzhi will not break his promise. I will give you an infantry cannon when I say I will give you an infantry cannon. When the ice and snow melts and you and Yue'er return to the Kingdom of Jin, I will let you choose one and secretly take it with you."
Go back to the Kingdom of Jin."
Recalling Young Master Liu's obscene words just now, the Queen looked at Young Master Liu doubtfully: "Really?"
"Really good.
It’s only one hundred thousand taels of silver, but I’m still willing to give it to you.”
The queen looked at Young Master Liu's sincere eyes, and her heart suddenly became filled with joy, ripples rippling through her heart.
After a quick glance around the backyard, the Queen stepped forward and kissed the corner of Young Master Liu's mouth deeply.
"Where are the cannonballs?"
Liu Da licked the lingering fragrance at the corner of his mouth and looked at the Queen with a smile: "I'll give it to you tonight, even if I run out of ammunition and food, I will accept it."
The Queen looked at Young Master Liu coquettishly: "You know that's not what you meant by the euphemism!"
"Then what do you mean?"
"That's what you think."
"That's what I mean, what do you mean?"
"You...you think that means?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Liu Mingzhi, is it fun for you to pretend to be stupid for me? Do you understand what I mean, is it fun for you to pretend to be confused? What I mean is what you know, not what you think it means. Do you understand what I mean?"
Young Master Liu stared blankly at the angry-looking Queen, subconsciously clasped his fingers and muttered: "You asked me to tell you what you mean."
"Um... I really don't understand what you mean by all the things you said."
"Stop pretending to be stupid here, are you going to give me some cannonballs?"
"That's what you mean. Didn't I say it? I'll leave it all to you tonight."
"Okay...very good, Liu Mingzhi, you can go sleep in your study tonight."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the empress' somewhat sullen look, stopped pretending to be dumbfounded, and sighed softly.
"To put it bluntly, if you give me a cannonball, I will be killed. There are some things that I am not reluctant to part with, but I have no choice."
The Queen was startled, looked at Liu Mingzhi's somewhat downcast expression, and nodded with complicated eyes.
"I understand politely!"
"Let's go over there and bask in the sun. It will take a lot of time to intercept the hand crossbow and build it."
"Where is Yue'er? Where did this stinky girl go as soon as she turned around?"
"Hey, look over there!"
The queen followed Young Master Liu's gaze and saw the little cutie struggling to push a small cart towards the furnace room where Han Zhong and others entered.
[Mimi Reading]()
Although she was so tired that she kept having fun, the little cutie still enjoyed it.
The queen looked at the coal in the cart blankly: "What are you doing with all this coal? Isn't this what your family is storing for the winter?"
"Yes, maybe it's to keep Han Zhong and the others warm.
How could Yue'er, such a well-behaved daughter, bear to see the uncles who made her crossbows frozen?"
A look of suspicion flashed across the Queen's face. How could the embryo get cold when it was sitting next to the sweltering stove?
However, thinking of her daughter's hyperactive character, the queen's doubts gradually disappeared.
I never imagined that this coal could be used for smelting steel.
