That's it? ?

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhu Xiongying's eyes.

Just when Zhu Xiongying was disappointed.

No one noticed that a crack quietly appeared on the barrel of the red cannon in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Xu Da excitedly looked at Tang Hedao

?.Second brother, let's have a blast. "

Tang He rubbed his hands together and excitedly lit the fuze of the red cannon.

"嗤_嗤__"

The Erhu who was on the side saw the crack on the barrel at a glance.

"Your Majesty, gentlemen, this cannon is about to explode, get out of the way!"

Several people were startled when they heard this.

The Jin Yiwei around hurried forward and threw them down to protect them tightly.

"Boom!!!!"

There was a loud bang.

The red cannon suddenly exploded.

A thick black smoke enveloped the entire East Palace. .

Chapter 121 Is there such a grandpa in the world?

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, Zhu Yuanzhang got up from the ground in disgrace.

All of them turned into big black faces.

No one knew what Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was like now.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who got up from the ground, couldn't help being furious.

"Why did it explode again? Are the people in the Ministry of War all trash?"

Li Shanchang's bun was scattered, and the gray hair fell loose, and the black ash on his body fell off. He sighed.

"Master, I'm afraid the Ministry of War can't be blamed for this. I have reviewed the cannon casting records of Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and Beiyuan. In fact, the bombing rate is quite high.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared.

gritted his teeth and said

"Then can't think of ways to improve and improve?"

"Well, yes, there is, but it needs to use copper. My Ming Dynasty has little copper. If I use copper to cast cannons, I'm afraid it will cost more."

Before Zhang Juzheng's reform, in fact, silver has always assumed the function of savings.

In fact, the circulation function of currency has always been performed by copper coins.

The proportion of firearms used in the Ming army was so high that the number was frighteningly large.

If all of them are replaced with copper castings, it will definitely affect the people's livelihood.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others slowly got up from the ground.

It was only then that he was shocked to find that Zhu Xiongying was fine with such a violent explosion just now.

Old Zhutou couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

Why is this brat so lucky?

"Ying'er, let's ask you a question for 237, and you tell us that this Ming's artillery is easy to explode, what do you think should be done?"

Zhu Xiongying blinked and blurted out

"Isn't Grandpa Huang able to use cast steel cannons?"

Xu Da and the others couldn't help smiling when they heard the words.

Cast a cannon with steel!

How much steel is Daming!

Burning a furnace of iron and producing half-finished steel is already blessed by the ancestors.

Using steel to cast cannons, isn't this more expensive than tm's copper? !

There was a bit of displeasure in Zhu Yuanzhang's tone.

"Ying'er, what's the difference between what you said and why don't you eat minced meat? Daming can't even handle copper, so can steel?"

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang like a fool.

"Grandpa Huang, we have cement now!"

"What if there is cement..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words stopped abruptly.

The matter of salt and iron is related to the profits and taxes of the imperial court.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood something.

In fact, all blacksmiths know that the higher the furnace is repaired, the higher the steel tapping rate will be.

Although they don't know the reason, all the blacksmiths are racking their brains to raise the furnace.

It's just limited to technical means.

Restricting (acce) the height of the Daming Furnace is equivalent to locking the upper limit of steel production.

Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other.

"Sir, this might really be a solution."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang excitedly and said

"Shanchang, go to the Ministry of War and dispatch some blacksmiths right now, let them all discuss it, and see if you can get a sample out."

The strength of cement is obvious to all.

Once a little improvement was made, Zhu Yuanzhang could only feel the energy and blood all over his body surging upwards.

What steel means to the Empire is self-evident.

If all the firearms of Ming Dynasty were replaced by steel casting.

Zhu Yuanzhang seems to have seen the scene of Daming's Shenji Battalion chasing Beiyuan's cavalry across the grassland.

After all, Li Shanchang raised his legs and wanted to walk outside the palace.

But soon Li Shanchang's legs were hanging in the air.

"Boss, can Rong Chen wash up before going on errands?"

Several old Huaixi brothers looked at each other's afro.

Immediately couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his big hand and couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"Cheng, Cheng, come with us, can't we take a bath in the Forbidden City?"

Soon, under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang, a group of people left the East Palace in a hurry.

The moment everyone left the East Palace.

Lu's palace, which has been subjected to countless bombardments today, can't stand it anymore.

First, the beams in the middle collapsed.

Then the whole room shattered like a shattered biscuit.

Among the ruins, a voice of resentment came.

"Come, come, save me!"

Yude Hall 0

Nine Dogs laughed and laughed and got into the Yude Hall.

But soon, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't laugh anymore.

"What's the matter, why can't our face be washed out?"

Li Shanchang behind him also became anxious.

"Superior, although the superior minister is old, his face can't be this dark, right?"

Only Xu Da soaked in the pool carelessly and said with a smirk

"Hey, we, our face is already dark, but we don't mind getting darker."

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a piece of saponin and rubbed it from his face.

"If our sister wakes up and sees us like this, won't she be frightened by us?"

Zhu Biao burst into tears.

"Father, my son, how can I see people with this face in the future!",

Zhu Xiongying looked at these people in front of him.

There was an idea in his eyes.

He just took these old men as his test subjects.

In case the soap is a little bad, there must be some adverse reactions.

You can't make yourself pimple.

Zhu Xiongying hurriedly said

"Grandpa Huang, Ying'er has a solution. You can soak for a while, and I'll find someone to prepare it."

Hearing that Zhu Xiongying had a solution, everyone couldn't help but put down the saponins in their hands, and looked at Zhu Xiongying curiously.

Everyone was a little curious about what Zhu Xiongying could come up with.

Zhu Xiongying hurriedly ordered someone to fetch two catties of fat pork, and specifically ordered that it must be fatty meat. Besides, Zhu Xiongying found a small and half bucket of plant ash.

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Xiongying curiously with a big black face and said,

"His Royal Highness, what are you doing?"

"It's a thing for washing the face. This soap locust is really difficult to use. Ying'er wants to make something ten thousand times better than soap locust. Let's call it soap."

Soon, Hou Ying brought a few catties of fat.

And according to Zhu Xiongying's instructions, An boiled it in an iron pot.

As the lard gradually boiled out, Zhu Xiongying began to add plant ash into the pot again.

After a while, I saw that the oil in the pot gradually started to solidify.

Seeing this scene, Li Shanchang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I feel more and more now that His Royal Highness Taisun's future is immeasurable, and he must be properly disciplined."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile and smacked his tongue at Li Shanchang.

"We hired a teacher for Yinger, guess who it is?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words fell into Zhu Xiongying's ears verbatim.

Zhu Xiongying's mouth twitched slightly.

Old Zhutou, do you still have something serious to do? !

I will teach you how to make steel, give you cement, and make you soap.

You bring me a teacher back?

Is there a grandfather like you? ! ?
