Xu Jiaojiao: "It's good to know. Later, I didn't call it that name, no longer called it a good man, call it a husband, and call it a wife, do you know why this is?"

"Why?"

"Because the word Liang is not enough! There are many occasions that cannot be distinguished and not vivid enough, so people changed a little later."

Xu Jiaojiao said, "How did you change? Look, the Langjun's Lang is the previous word "liang" with an ear. The Lady's mother is the word "liang" with an ear. Does it mean that it is good?

As a husband, you should be more obedient! Who can you listen to? Of course, it’s your wife’s. After all, she is just like a mother…”

Liao Qing was surprised: "Madam! Is that what it means?"

Xu Jiaojiao: "What else? Do you think the ancients changed it casually? Believe in their wisdom!"

...

The two of them stumbled and slept until midnight.

The next day, the "obedient" Liao Qing took office, and Xu Jiaojiao took him out of the city with her, saying goodbye to Yiyi.

Then, Xu Jiaojiao turned to the palace.

She had the Cining Palace waist sign given by the Queen Mother, and she met the Queen Mother unimpededly.

After all, she had promised to come and chat with her frequently.

It is impossible to do it "often", but it is always necessary to do it "once".

What you promised must not be ignored.

The Queen Mother has a good complexion. In fact, after all, as long as people with this status have no physical problems, their complexion cannot be much worse.

The Queen Mother actually knew that she was pregnant, and I don’t know where she heard it, and then taught her a lot of experience.

Xu Jiaojiao can only listen.

Speaking of the Great Yan Kingdom, Ruyi and Wuyou both wrote letters.

"A few days have passed, and these two girls have sent me a letter again. There is nothing serious about it. They are all adults. Could it be that I still want my old woman to help them make their own ideas? It's really idle.

OK!" said the queen mother with a smile.

Although this tone is complaining, it is undoubtedly enjoyable in my heart.

Xu Jiaojiao also echoed: "This is the younger generation who cares about you! I am worried about you every day, I am afraid that I can't help but miss you anymore, so I can only pass on a letter."

"Hehe, your mouth is even more coincidental than them!" The Queen Mother smiled even more happily.

Xu Jiaojiao could see that she came here just to chat with her.

The Empress Dowager asked again why Mrs. Xu Zhang didn't come?

Xu Jiaojiao said that there were too many things at home and could not leave, but after a while, she was about to give birth to her, so she was afraid she would come.

Without saying a moment, Emperor Zhu came.

I looked quite happy when I saw Xu Jiaojiao.

"Yan De, the methods you told me before are really useful. The actual effect has been initially revealed, which is exciting! But now we are facing a difficult problem, isn't the Ministry of Works developing a gunpowder gun?

Its power is not great, and its actual combat effectiveness is not as good as ordinary swords and guns. Now the court is divided into two factions. One faction believes that this kind of thing is useless to manpower and material resources and should be stopped, while the other faction believes that it needs to continue researching it. I don’t know if you have it.

What do you think? "

What method? What gunpowder gun?

Xu Jiaojiao was a little confused.

Has she said these things before?

But when recalling, she seemed to have talked about some great principles of governing the country and strengthening the army. At that time, she seemed to have mentioned a few casual words, but she didn't expect that Emperor Zhu really used it to practice it.

And it looks quite useful.

This guy is quite enlightened!

There is a future!

As for gunpowder guns, this thing is actually very simple. If you can make firecrackers, there are basically no technical obstacles to making a musket.

Take modern history as an example. Many people think that muskets were first invented by foreigners. People in our country love peace and only made fireworks, which led to the end being bullied by foreigners with their inventions.

This is purely a rumor.

As early as the Song Dynasty, we had muskets, and by the Ming Dynasty, it was even more prosperous. However, this momentum was extinguished by an emperor who was short-sighted and hyped by his descendants.

I won’t say much here, it can easily cause dissatisfaction among many fans.

After all, we are just a casual book, not serious literature or popular science articles. It is inappropriate to say too much about this.

Having said that,

Why are muskets not powerful?

There is only one reason, that is, the materials are not up to standard.

To put it bluntly, it means that the smelting and forging technology does not meet the standards and cannot create qualified gun barrels.

And this technology involves many aspects and is hard to describe.

Seeing that Xu Jiaojiao didn't say anything for a long time, Emperor Zhu thought she didn't understand, so he asked the eunuch to bring in a box and opened it and saw that there was a musket inside!

The shape is a crooked handle, and a rough iron pipe is inserted in front.

Xu Jiaojiao saw the potholes above with just a glance, and the curled edges were tightly attached to each other, not even welding, let alone seamless steel pipes...

This is a fucking thing, it would be strange if this kind of thing has power!

Even if she doesn't look at it, she knows where the problem lies.

Not beyond her expectations at all.

But she can give a definite answer to Zhu Huang’s question.

"Your Majesty, the development of gunpowder guns cannot be stopped, but also requires strengthening strength! You think, the recruitment of soldiers now requires training, and it takes a long time to defeat the enemy. But this musket relies on gunpowder to exert force.

, Anyone can use it, is the efficiency greatly improved?

The reason why the power is not good is that the forging technology is insufficient. If it has power, which type of existing weapons can compare with it? If we don’t develop it, then if others develop it first, they will be passively beaten!

I think if I could hammer the barrel a few times, smooth the inside, and try to have no seams on the outside, then it would be much more powerful."

Every sentence here has some meaning, meaning to enhance the anti-explosion capability of the gun barrel, reduce ammunition friction, and enhance the air pressure driving force.

Of course, these are not enough, but with the current technical level, I can only say so much for the time being. I have to take it slowly. Rome was not built in one day.

Zhu Huang is very interested,

He just knew that Xu Jiaojiao always had unexpected actions, was very smart, and was very forward-looking in doing things. Afterwards, it was proved that she was right.

Take this Jinyang Mansion incident as an example. Her performance is sometimes incredible.

That's why he asked about this.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jiaojiao gave such a sure and clear answer.

"Princess Yan De is really the pillar of my Daxiang! He knows so many things, I really don't know why?"

The Queen Mother said on the side: "Isn't it good for girls to know a lot? You're even picky!"

"My mother, aren't I just talking about it casually!"

Zhu Huang said, "Yan De knows a lot, and this is not a matter of two things. This is unreasonable, but there is always a reason for things. If you exclude others that don't make sense, then there is only one explanation left."
