Bi Maokang thought that His Majesty did not believe him, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, there must be no problem."

Seeing Bi Maokang's attitude, Zhu Youxiao knew that nothing he said was useless. If he said too much, it would easily damage his subordinates' confidence. So Zhu Youxiao said directly: "No problem, do it. If the results are good, I will not be stingy with the reward."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang said excitedly.

I quickly explained it and prepared it there.

Zhu Youxiao saw someone lifting the shells in boxes and quickly starting to load them, and the shells were directly pushed into the cannon chamber.

If you shout Italian cannons at this time, Zhu Youxiao would feel that it would be very touching.

But he still said nothing and stood there with his hands behind his back.

With a command, the cannon blew up and the shells swirled and flew not far away. After landing, it made a huge explosion.

Smoke and dust spread everywhere, and the soil splashed, directly blowing out a big pit on the ground.

After seeing this thing, Zhu Youxiao felt a little moved that his firearms troops were finally going to take shape, and it would be worth spending so much money for so many years, and he also tried all kinds of effort to get all kinds of things.

In fact, in this era, the technology in this world has begun to develop rapidly. After the Age of Discovery begins, all kinds of items will be demanded and manufactured.

Especially in terms of arms, everyone colonized, and they were having fun fighting, so there was even greater demand for firearms.

However, no country can integrate everything and develop it through strong national strength.

Now, this is what Zhu Youxiao does.

The Ming Dynasty had a profound industrial heritage, and perhaps people didn't say anything, but in fact, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were really amazing. They could use hand-made carts to produce beads of the same size and used as bearings.

Although there is no perfect industrial system and no various industrial books, these craftsmen are really strong in practical operations. These powerful craftsmen provided the basis for the research and development of the Ming Dynasty.

The more than 7,000 books brought by Jinnige contain a variety of contemporary knowledge, and they were able to connect the knowledge used by the Ming Dynasty with advanced Western knowledge. In this process, the Ming Dynasty's technology developed rapidly.

After that, Zhu Youxiao's planning and guidance were taken.

After all, as a person from later generations, Zhu Youxiao could point out the way for many things, such as picric acid explosives. This thing is simple to make, but transportation and storage are very inconvenient. The problem that the French and British people had not solved for how long it took, but was later solved by the Japanese.

And here in Zhu Youxiao, this incident is an inconspicuous secret. There are actually many such things, such as the problem of glass bubbles that caused the war back then. In fact, the solution to this secret is to stir.

Just these two words have caused a continuous war.

To put it out, it is actually a very simple truth; but if you don’t put it out, this technology is worth a thousand gold, or even a war to destroy the country.

This is what Zhu Youxiao played. Adding Shanghai’s amount of money, he finally gained what he is now.

Seeing Bi Maokang coming back, Zhu Youxiao said directly: "It's very good, reward!"

As for building production lines and then quickly equipping, Zhu Youxiao didn't think about it. The reason is very simple, there is no money. Although these things can be produced by taking them, there is still no way. Now there is only simple mechanical lathes, which are very slow in manufacturing.

But if a production line is built and a lot of labor is used, it can still be manufactured in large quantities.

There is only one thing that Zhu Youxiao has no choice, it all requires too much money. Just the current financial situation, don’t joke.

So Zhu Youxiao could only reward the craftsmen and let them continue their own research.

In the next era, we naturally need to start from power, which is the legendary steam engine.

Only after this thing was found, the Ming Dynasty could open up the next era.

These things in front of you are enough for Daming to digest for a while.

But there is another thing that Zhu Youxiao wants to ask Bi Maokang.

"How is the matter of metal loading bullets going?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang and asked directly.

This is something Zhu Youxiao is very concerned about. Once a metal loading bullet is made, the loading of the gun can be put on the agenda. Even the earliest Hanyang-made ones were extremely advanced in this era.

It is an amazing progress to be able to accurately design and rifle. No matter how the front-mounted muskets are developed, they do not have this advantage. Even if you can use rifle or threaded bullets, it is still not possible.

Because this will cause the loading speed to be much slower and the firing rate is not enough. Only by loading the gun afterwards can you achieve such an accuracy level.

Once this difficulty is overcome, a pistol can also be created, which is a rotary pistol.

Speaking of which, I can make a handful of it by myself at that time and keep it on my waist at any time. I have been thinking about it for a long time.

"It's not possible." Bi Maokang said hesitantly.

In fact, Bi Maokang has been paying attention to this matter, and the Baigong Academy is also very attentive. However, this kind of thing cannot be done with care.

The reason why metal fixed-loading shells can work is because they are large and easy to operate. But if the bullets are not good, there is no way for metal fixed-loading bullets, it will take some time.

Zhu Youxiao said: "It doesn't matter, take your time."

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was very anxious because even if the metal fixed-loading bullet could be made, it wouldn't matter if it could not be made and then the gun was installed, because this thing could be assembled on a hand-cranked rotary machine gun.

Once the paper gun bullet is replaced with metal bullets, the rate of fire will be greatly improved. Now it is 200 rounds per minute. If it is replaced with metal bullets, it can reach 1,200 rounds per minute. What is this concept?

Even if it is hand-cranked, it has such a speed of fire, which is a powerful weapon on the battlefield. With this thing, even if you don’t have a gun afterwards, it will be strong enough.

However, judging from the current situation, this will take some more time to solve the problem. So Zhu Youxiao is not going to stay here and let them continue to do it. His current task is to get money.

If you don’t make money, these equipment will not be equipped. With such good equipment and no equipment, Zhu Youxiao will definitely not be able to get over it.

It is a waste to have the ability to build a modern and modern force, but not to build it. Such things cannot happen to you.

After rewarding all the craftsmen, Zhu Youxiao left the Baigong Academy and returned directly to the palace.

When Zhu Youxiao returned to the palace, a little girl was staggering and having fun.

There was a circle of palace maids and eunuchs screaming, for fear that the little girl would fall to the ground by accident.

When Zhu Youxiao saw this scene, he shook his head helplessly.

He has done nothing in the past few years and has been in the palace, which has led to a greater output in the palace.

In addition to giving birth to a son for him for the first time, Queen Zhang gave birth to a daughter for the second child.

In addition, Concubine Tian also gave birth to a son, and Concubine Yuan gave birth to a daughter.

The one in front of me is Zhu Youxiao’s eldest daughter, who is born by Concubine Yuan. She is only smaller than the eldest prince and is not a calm person on weekdays.

Since she left, no one can hold her, and she has to run with two short legs.

When she saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs running with her, she laughed and laughed.

Zhu Youxiao walked over directly, hugged the little girl in his arms, rubbed her little face, rubbed her face with her, and kissed her again, then said, "Why are you running around?"

The little girl seemed to be a little impatient by Zhu Youxiao, rubbed Zhu Youxiao hard, and then started giggling.

At this time, Concubine Yuan also walked up from behind. After seeing Zhu Youxiao, she quickly bowed and said, "I will meet your Majesty."

Compared to when he first entered the palace, Concubine Yuan has grown up a lot. Not only does her body look plump, but her whole body also has a sense of maturity and stability.

After looking at the little girl who was held in Zhu Youxiao's arms, Concubine Yuan also smiled on her face.

Zhu Youxiao's harem was quite harmonious, after all, there were not many women.

Empress Zhang’s authority is unshakable. Not only did she give birth to the eldest son of the emperor, she was also valued by His Majesty. It goes without saying that.

Apart from Empress Zhang, there was only one Concubine Tian and one Concubine Yuan, and there was no one else.

It is unlikely that three people will fight, so they are basically stable. Although there are some minor frictions during the day, this is not a big deal. So Zhu Youxiao lived a good life in the harem.

But the ministers outside were a little unhappy. Your Majesty is wrong, so you should marry more wives.

Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to pay attention to them. It was not good to have too many people in the harem. Even if the rain and dew were mixed, they could not get enough.

I am not enough for so many people? I can’t stand these three.

So Zhu Youxiao directly rejected the proposals of the ministers.

Putting the child in Concubine Yuan's arms, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Don't be reluctant to leave, and if you make trouble, just hit her on the butt."

After hearing this, Concubine Yuan glared at Zhu Youxiao helplessly.

His Majesty, who only has such a temper when he speaks, is just this daughter on weekdays, and it hurts so much that she can't bear to let go even if she holds her in her arms, let alone beat her.

Whenever she wants to beat someone and teach her a lesson, she will take action.

After she finished the fight, His Majesty went to be a good person to coax it, which really made people wonder what to say.

And he is not used to his daughter's tricks?

Now that I say this, Concubine Yuan is unhappy.

Seeing the expression of Concubine Yuan, Zhu Youxiao was also a little embarrassed and changed the topic and said, "There is something to do before. I will come over after I finish my work."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao left with his hands behind his back.
