The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

Zhou Dajiang's words were like a depth bomb, exploding in the minds of County Magistrate Lin and Lawyer Yang.

If the two things he mentioned were both made, not only would the combat effectiveness of the warships increase several times, but even the land combat capability would increase rapidly.

It is true that as long as the equipment is good, a soldier who has been in the army for half a year can quickly become a soldier king!

County Magistrate Lin was extremely excited. What was he waiting for? He immediately grabbed Zhou Dajiang and copied down the principles of the model demonstration as well as the drawings and characteristics of several weapons, and then wrote another memorial.

Submitting a memorial, no, submitting a memorial is too slow a process! He quickly wrote another letter, "Master Yang, this memorial is of great importance. Only you can go in person. I will send someone to escort you. Go quickly and come back quickly!"

Five days later, in the evening, after returning home, Prime Minister Lin saw Master Yang being helped down the stairs. It had to be helped; the people escorting him took turns driving the carriage, and except for changing horses at the post station, it took five days and five nights of non-stop driving to reach the capital. He was practically exhausted from being shaken apart in the carriage.

After handing the letter to the Prime Minister, Master Yang thought he could finally have a good rest. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he finished his meal and his head touched the pillow, he was taken to the car again.

After reading the letter from his youngest son, Prime Minister Lin immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor and presented the memorial and letter to him.

After reading the memorial, the emperor was very pleased and immediately ordered the ministers of war, work and revenue to come to the palace. At the same time, he summoned Master Yang to the palace to demonstrate the model again.

Poor Master Yang could only hurriedly put on his clothes and follow the others into the palace. Fortunately, he had seen a demonstration and knew what to do. After some operation, the result was needless to say, shocking the onlookers in the room.

When he heard that there were two more weapons that needed to be tested, the Minister of War was so excited that he was incoherent. "Talent! Talent! Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to transfer people to our Ministry of War. I guarantee that the cannons will be built in the shortest possible time!"

The Minister of Works was also very excited and immediately interrupted, "Your Majesty, the ship needs to be renovated first. It would be more appropriate to transfer it to the Ministry of Works."

Finally, it was Prime Minister Lin who reminded him, "The boat needs to be renovated and launched."

The emperor then spoke, "Stop arguing, and draft an edict.

"I order the Qingshan County Magistrate to recruit men to build a shipyard; I appoint Zhou Dajiang as the master craftsman, responsible for the production of steam engines, lifeboats, and life jackets, and to oversee the modification of ships until the end of the war. I order Song Zhao to establish a weapons research and development center within the Qingshan County garrison, and the Ministry of War to dispatch personnel to the center; I order the Ministry of Revenue to cooperate with the Ministry of War to allocate funds for the full-scale manufacture of new cannons!"

It's a pity that Zhou Dajiang is only a scholar. If he were a juren, he would have been given an official position!

-

The third group of people who were conscripted from Qingshangou were very confused. They didn't know why they were all sent back. Although they were still serving, they were transferred from the army to the factory.

These people were conscripted out of desperation. How many civilians, with their families, would be willing to fight? Going to the battlefield means risking your life, and you might never see your wife, children, or parents again. Even if you weren't going to the battlefield, if you were assigned to the logistics supply team, you would still have to travel across the ocean by ship!

Unexpectedly, they were asked to come back just after they had gathered! After asking around, they found out that it was all Zhou Dajiang's fault!

Many people from other villages in Qingshan County were also transferred to the shipyard. As long as they didn't have to go to the battlefield, the shipyard was also very good! So they all went to Qingshangou to thank Zhou Dajiang.

Naturally, the results were all in vain. Zhou Dajiang had no time for this. Although he received a commendation from the court for this matter, the emperor's appointment also made him extremely busy. Even Chen Xiuying sometimes couldn't find him. Sometimes he would be at the factory in the morning, then go to the shipyard in the afternoon. When he finally got home in the evening, he had to go to the military camp the next day.

He was so busy that he spent years in the weapons research institute of the military camp. It was five months later when everything was finally on track.

Fortunately, the results are encouraging. Two warships have been modified and both are equipped with six-in-one cannons. Shoulder-fired cannons have also been built. Because of their light weight, easy to carry, and low cost, the court has built a lot of them. The concentrated fire cannon is still under research due to its large scale, but these are enough.

Zhou Dajiang thought he had completed his mission, but he didn't expect that there was a bigger task waiting for him.

"What? Did I hear it right?" Chen Xiuying couldn't believe her ears.

"Yes, you heard me right. They asked me to go on board because if there is any problem with the power system of the ship, I am the only one who can solve it." Zhou Dajiang was also very depressed.

"Don't you bring a few more people with you when you work?"

"I brought them, and they will all go too." His voice became softer and softer as he spoke, because only one of the people he brought was sent by the court, and the others were from their factory, including his two brothers, the carpenter brothers Tian, ​​Zhang Dazhuang and Zhou Dong.

The young Lord Cui sent by the imperial court is said to be the son of the Minister of Works.

"Are you talking about the technical backbones of your factory?"

"Yes."

"Then what are you going to tell Mom?"

"What can I say? How can I not go if the country requires me to?" If I had known I had to go out with him, I would not have taken the initiative.

"So when are we leaving?"

"In another month, when the weather warms up, we'll set off."

Chen Xiuying nodded at him, not knowing what to say. Wouldn't it be better to just be an honest scholar? He had to brag about it. Not only did he get himself into trouble, but he also had to drag several people into it.

What if something went wrong? She didn't know what to say, so angry that she just punched the guy.

After beating the man up, she has to find a way to prepare more things for him. She doesn't know how many years he will be gone, and she can't take care of other things, but he must have something to save his life, right?

So, she took Qing'er with her, asked Yu Fuan to drive the car, and went to the town for a crazy shopping spree.

First, I went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of small porcelain bottles with stoppers, scissors and tweezers, and a small lockable box. Then I went to the pharmacy and bought a bunch of plasters and a few bottles of wound medicine. Then I went to the cloth shop and bought some white gauze, white cotton cloth, and cotton. But that wasn't all. I saw someone selling candied haws and asked if they had any unused bamboo sticks. Qing'er was so scared that she quickly pulled her away. "Her dad and brother can make this, so let's go home and make it."

When the two of them returned home with their bags, Chen Xiuying began to work one by one. First, she scalded the bottle and drained it dry. Then she rolled the cotton into small balls and stuffed them into the bottle. She then poured alcohol into the balls and covered the bottle with paper and alcohol cotton.

Fortunately, she'd been busy for the past six months, developing a ceramic distiller and making a lot of alcohol with her master and fellow apprentice. She didn't know the purity, but her master said it was quite effective. A small cut on her hand healed in two or three days. That meant it worked.

After filling the alcohol cotton, fill it with light salt water. This is about it. Sprinkle some salt in the boiling water, let it cool and then pack it up. This is used a lot, so fill two bottles and also cover them with paper.

Cut the gauze into pieces and roll up the cotton cloth.

……

In the evening, Zhou Dajiang returned home and Chen Xiuying pushed the small box to him and said, "I have prepared several first aid kits. You can distribute them to everyone tomorrow."

Zhou Dajiang opened it and saw that it was quite complete: alcohol cotton pads, saline solution, cotton swabs, scissors and tweezers, everything. "What's this plaster for?"
