Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Seeing Zhu Yunhuan's questioning expression, Fu Youwen's heart subconsciously tightened. He quickly explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, this result... is actually considered normal and qualified in this random inspection. After all, the fire gun is a very sophisticated weapon. It's not like an ordinary sword that can be picked up and used to chop and kill..."

Fu Youwen was halfway through his explanation when Zhu Yunhuan subconsciously said, "A very sophisticated weapon? It's just a barrel, loaded with gunpowder and bullets, and you call that sophisticated?"

Hearing Zhu Yunhuan's complaints.

Fu Youwen's face turned ugly on the spot. He had a thousand complaints about Zhu Yunhuan in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.

"No? The Central Revenue Department's inventory is already the best in the entire Ming Dynasty! How can you, a little ancestor, speak of it as if it were just junk?"

"You saw what the guys on the field did just now."

“Isn’t this considered sophisticated?”

"I finally understand. This little ancestor must have come across the records and battle records of these fire blunderbusses and bowl-mouth blunderbusses in the battle records. He suddenly became interested and came to the warehouse to have some fun."

"Or... because you only have a superficial understanding of these things, you mistakenly believe that they can be used to deal with the nobles of Huaixi, thinking that they are some kind of 'magic pill', which is why you are saying these things now."

"I understand a little, but not completely. I'm starting to talk on my own. So... was I overthinking it before?"

"Never mind, whether or not there are ways to deal with the nobles of Huaixi is all there for you. I can't expect too much. As long as Your Majesty has this intention, it's a good thing."

"..."

Of course, although Fu Youwen was already complaining madly in his heart, due to the identity of this little ancestor, he could only hold it all in his stomach and pursed his lips awkwardly.

There is no way, for Fu Youwen...

In today's era, firearms are the most sophisticated gadgets, but Zhu Yunhuan devalued these things to nothing, which of course is completely contrary to Fu Youwen's thoughts and cognition.

But this is not Zhu Yunhuan’s fault.

Speaking of precision... Zhu Yunhuan has seen things that are ten thousand times more precise than this, so in his opinion, this thing is of course the crudest.

This is a gap that has spanned hundreds of years.

After Fu Youwen had complained bitterly in his heart, although he wanted to scold Zhu Yunhuan, he was the emperor after all. He had to be respected! So Fu Youwen could only take a deep breath and grit his teeth to digest this nameless anger.

Then he forced a smile and explained patiently:

"In reply to your Majesty, these fire guns and bowl-mouthed guns may seem simple, but there is a lot of knowledge involved."

"Whether this musket fires or not depends on many factors. For example, both the gunpowder and the fuse are easily affected by moisture, which can lead to unstable combustion of the fuse. Whether the amount of gunpowder is appropriate also depends on the experience of the musket user. Furthermore, the gunpowder filled into the musket does not necessarily come into contact with the inserted fuse..."

"With all of this going on... no matter who comes, there's no guarantee the gun will fire. Generally speaking, if five or six out of ten guns fire, it's considered excellent. If it's humid weather, that number will drop even lower."

Seeing Fu Youwen's face flushed a little and he was explaining carefully, Zhu Yunhuan realized that... he had subconsciously thought "why not eat meat porridge?". The material and technical conditions of that era were just like that.

And some of the things he used to be accustomed to.

It is the final result of hundreds of years of accumulation, hundreds of years of improvement and development, and the iteration of wisdom from generation to generation.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded, calmly responded to Fu Youwen, and said, "Okay, I understand."

Zhu Yunhuan accepted his statement so quickly.

This surprised Fu Youwen a little. He had thought that this little ancestor was going to continue complaining. But this was also a good thing. Fu Youwen himself was relieved.
