I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Late at night, Jiang Yuan was still working hard in the room, drawing one design after another.

"Huh!" Jiang Yuan let out a long breath, blew dry the ink on the last piece of paper, and nodded with satisfaction.

Holy shit! I'm a genius!

Culture can govern a country, and military force can maintain its security.

After looking at all the design drawings again, Jiang Yuan took all the drawings directly to the side room, and a wave of heat hit him in the face.

"Master, what are these things? Why have I never seen them before?" Wang Gang looked at the drawings and felt overwhelmed.

Since the gun was a serious matter, Jiang Yuan did not intend to let others know.

Wang Gang is a strong enough kid, and now he is a fourth-level master. Even if he has no experience in blacksmithing, he is able to restore the parts perfectly.

"Don't talk nonsense. Just do what I tell you to do. Continue to build all these parts for me according to the blueprint."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he began to use a file to smooth the already made parts.

In this era when manufacturing technology is very backward and there are no machine tools and other processing equipment, it is impossible to build a proper gun.

Even the Turtle Box was impossible, so the weapon Jiang Yuan chose to create was quite simple.

The firearms of the Ming Dynasty in China were, firstly, much easier to make, and secondly, not much more powerful.

The only drawback may be that reloading ammunition is more difficult.

You need to first fill the barrel with gunpowder, then stuff steel balls in, and then stuff some cotton or cloth in to seal the air. Finally, you need to use a steel pipe that is one size smaller than the barrel to compact these things to ensure that there is no leakage, so that the maximum lethality can be unleashed.

The fuse Jiangyuan abandoned the rifling ignition mode and adopted a method similar to cannon ignition. There is a small mechanism at the tail into which the fuse can be inserted.

Jiang Yuan improved it by adding a spring cutting device inside. You only need to put a long fuse in it. Every time you pull the spring, the front fuse will be cut off. There is no need to fill in the fuse at the back, as it will be automatically pulled over by the spring.

It also greatly saves firing time, and a skilled person can barely fire two shots in a minute.

After a while, Wang Gang took out a red-hot iron pillar and, according to Jiang Yuan's instructions, placed a hollow semicircular tube made of fine iron on top of the iron pillar and pressed the iron tube hard.

The round tube is much smaller than the iron pillar. After some operations by Wang Gang, he finally succeeded in making the iron tube.

On the other side, Jiang Yuan had already assembled the remaining parts. He was already sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yuan took out the quenched and completely cooled gun barrel and assembled it all together.

The barrel was more than one meter long. Thus, the first gun of the Great Duan Dynasty was born in Jiang Yuan's hands.

Holding the assembled gun, Jiang Yuan simply couldn't let it go.

Although its manufacturing technology and power are not as good as modern firearms, it is still a dimensionality reduction attack when placed here.

"Master, what is this thing? It's so long, and it has no blade or point. Is it really as powerful as you said?" Wang Gang asked in confusion, scratching his head.

Jiang Yuan puffed out his chest suddenly: "Okay, then the master will open your eyes today!"

"Bring your stuff and come with me to find a place to test the gun!"

A moment later, in the back mountain of Taiping County, Jiang Yuan used several large rocks to press down the spear to prevent it from deflecting due to recoil.

Twenty meters in front of him, there was a tree as thick as a person, which Jiang Yuan used as a target.

After lighting the fuse, Jiang Yuan ran away. What a joke! This was a gun that hadn't been tested yet. There was no telling if it would explode. Jiang Yuan didn't want to be the first guinea pig to try the gun.

Since it was the first time to test the gun, the fuse was set quite long. After Jiang Yuan ran about ten meters, he suddenly heard the sound of gunpowder being ignited behind him.

There was a crackle! The fire lit up, followed by a loud bang!

After everything settled down, Jiang Yuan returned with the stunned Wang Gang.

"Master, what is this thing? An iron ball just flew out of it by itself." Wang Gang looked at the spear in shock, scratching his head but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Jiang Yuan put away his spear and observed it for a while, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was no damage.

Even though this spear would have been looked upon by almost no one in the previous life, the manpower and resources required to make one here were ridiculously high.

The first point is Wang Gang. This guy is extremely strong and is a master of the fourth realm. Only then can he perfectly restore various parts according to the drawings drawn by Jiang Yuan.

It is even necessary to use iron pipes to make the iron pillars into seamless pipes, which is not something ordinary people can do.

After putting in so much effort, if it still wasn't done, Jiang Yuan would want to die.

Holding a rifle, Jiang Yuan went straight to the big tree and finally found a bullet hole. Jiang Yuan picked up a small branch from the ground and poked it into the hole.

It was estimated that the bullet had penetrated five or six centimeters into the tree.

Jiang Yuan was quite satisfied with the result. Trees are like this. If it hits a person, the power will probably not be reduced much.

"Wang Gang, do you think this thing can kill someone like you?" Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Gang expectantly. The person he built the musket to deal with was a martial arts master like Wang Gang.

Wang Gang estimated for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Master, I don't know either, but I don't think a single blow would kill someone as tough as me."

Jiang Yuan glared at him unhappily. Do you really think everyone is like you?

Wang Gang is a well-trained guy who polishes his body with iron sand every day. He has long since developed an indestructible body. Unless there is a master who is two levels stronger than him, he will never be able to hurt him.

"Go back to sleep! Oh, and don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, except for Li Hu, Zhao Kai, and the others."

After explaining things to Wang Gang, Jiang Yuan happily returned to the county government office holding his spear.

"Master, you are finally back. It's already so late, why aren't you resting yet?" Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Yuan with resentment.

"Haha! Well, I, your master, am full of energy. It won't hurt my body to stay up late." Jiang Yuan said with a laugh.

"Master, you..." Xiaoqing murmured with a red face. In an instant, the things her parents had said before inexplicably emerged in Xiaoqing's little head.

The maids in wealthy families have more than just housework to do.

Maids with outstanding looks are often chosen as maids in the same room. So, when the master mentioned vigorous energy, wasn't he referring to...

Xiaoqing's face became more and more rosy, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a while. What was going on?

Xiaoqing is usually a carefree child, why is she shy now?

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Jiang Yuan asked subconsciously.

Xiaoqing pinched the corner of her clothes with both hands, her face flushed with shame, her mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, something was wrong!

What happened to this child?

Is it possible...

Jiang Yuan reached out a hand and touched Xiaoqing's forehead for some unknown reason.

"Hey, you don't have a fever, why are you blushing?"
