Tomorrow

Chapter 11 Mr. Dong Heng

On the way back to the Duoyan Department, Yun Zhao sighed for a long time. He had seen all kinds of people in the world of Daming, but he had never seen a fool.

From this, he came up with an experience that when the end times are reached, there are only smart people left in the world.

Even in a desperate situation, the Great Lama Morgen must not only strive to live, but also have to live with dignity and not lose his face. When possible, he even has to fight back to see if he can turn bad things into favor. Some of him.

However, there is one thing Yun Zhao is quite certain. Today, after seeing the power of the musket, Mulgen really moved his mind to buy a gun.

Unfortunately, the Mongols, Usi Tibetans, and even Jian slaves are not Yun Zhao’s target customers.

Never!

In the past five years, Yun's finally built qualified flying bird blunderbuss in Yushan, among which the short blunderbuss with continuous hair are the most outstanding.

Although Yun's short guns can only be fired twice at a time, the two firings are continuous without gaps.

The Yun's craftsmen are also preparing to install a few more barrels on the short blunderbuss, so as to achieve the goal of more consecutive firings, but the short blunderbuss made according to this idea, basically few people can hold the shots with one hand.

That's why Yun Yang, a reckless character, made himself two six-barreled hand guns for some unspeakable purpose... After that thing was made, Yun Zhao couldn't wait to find a place to sew it in.

The short-board Gatling gun can only be fired six times in a single hand, and then it will take a long time to refill. If there is no chance to refill, this thing will become a completely useless waste.

Tang Ruowang, a godlike priest who was bragged by the Manchus, was not good at artillery or even muskets. He just understood some superficial knowledge of physics.

As for Deng Yuhan, Luo Yagu is even more unbearable. The three people's knowledge of astronomy far exceeds the study of the two disciplines of physical chemistry.

If it weren't for Deng Yuhan's production of the primary version of the telescope, Yun Zhao's huge amount of money invested in these three people would have been a complete failure.

However, the Western slaves Xu Guangqi bought for Yun Zhao shined on Yushan!

They made a cannon for Yun Zhao very powerfully!

Although it was still a very crude artillery, this made Yun Zhao very satisfied. The most terrible thing was that these people made some improvements to the artillery shells, and copied all the chain bullets and grape bullets on the pirate ship.

Although these shells only rely on the power of gunpowder to push these projectiles out, causing damage to the enemy, but in close combat, especially when the enemy is densely formed, or when the cavalry is charging, they can form a large amount of vital force on the enemy. Kill.

What surprised Yun Zhao the most was that these guys actually developed a new style of flowering bomb.

Unlike the flower bombs owned by the Ming army, (here to explain, there were bloom bombs at the end of the Ming Dynasty), the bloom bombs made by Yushan are similar to a ball-shaped grenade, except that they are pushed farther by gunpowder, and the iron ball is inside There is more gunpowder, and there are more small pellets in the iron ball.

Although less than 40% of the ten shells can actually bloom and wound people, this is a rare surprise for Yun Zhao.

In order to study this thing, Yun Zhao's Western slaves accidentally killed more than ten people.

However, after Yun Zhao's large amount of silver was thrown down, no one of these people cared about their lives, and they took out the spirit of desperadoes and continued to study bombs with more lethality and higher explosive rate.

So, in this atmosphere, Yun Zhao got grenades and landmines again!

That is to say, after these things were researched by craftsmen and slaves, the abilities of Tang Ruowang, Luo Yagu, and Deng Yuhan were slowly discovered.

The ability of these people is not in invention and creation, but in sorting, summarizing, and summarizing. It is because they have summarized all the procedures and recorded them, which has allowed the Yushan gun workshop to continuously produce new weapons.

Yun Zhao is satisfied with the development of the past five years, and it is the army trained by Yunfu that has satisfied Yun Zhao the most.

In the past five years, the army owned by the Yun family has not increased, but has been declining. More bandits who are not suitable for military service have returned to their homes to participate in labor. The old bandits who lived in the mountains have descended from the mountain and received them from the Yun family. A small piece of land is self-supporting.

Sweet potato is the biggest gift Xu Guangqi gave to the people of Lantian County. After adapting to the climate of Lantian County, this thing expanded like its vines.

With this thing, people can finally use a small piece of arable land to eat their stomachs.

Potatoes and corn have become more expensive, and they have become the daily food of the people in Xi'an.

Nowadays, out of Xi'an, as long as you cross Baqiao, you can see endless cornfields planted on both sides of the road.

In the spring of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Yun clan killed the giant bandits in Qianxian County and captured 300 people.

In the fall of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Yun family was able to help the wind and wounded the giant bandit Gao Yiwu, and captured 451 people.

In the winter of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the Yun clan and Liu Zongmin met in Wugong and signed a contract that the pirates were not allowed to enter Lantian County, and the Yun clan was not allowed to fight the pirates.

Since then, no thieves have invaded Lantian County.

In a place, with enough products and enough population, a large number of merchants will naturally appear.

The business that Yun's and Huang's exchange of food for salt is still going on, but the transaction partner has changed from Huang's to Wang's.

During this process, the merchants in Zhangjiakou keenly discovered that as long as the grain purchased from Lantian County, if it is sent directly to the border village without Zhangjiakou, it will be safe and sound. Once the grain leaves Zhangjiakou, there will be great disasters. Waiting for them.

After several times, Hong Chengchou's robbing of grain couldn't be covered up. In the end, Lu Xiang was promoted to Governor of Xuan University, which was a matter of course.

Without the fact that Hong Chengchou concealed the prosperity of Lantian County, and more and more people were paying attention to Lantian County, Yun Zhao resigned from the post of Lantian County magistrate, but was promoted by Shaanxi Chief Envoy Huang Yaozhuo as the temporary representative of Lantian County. Prefect.

Yun Zhao resigned three times for this, and finally had to hang the Lantian County Zhengtang seal on the Lantian County government office.

According to recent news from Yunxiao, the main seal of Lantian County is still hanging there, no one has taken it away, and no new officials have stationed in the county office.

The big seal was taken down by the Lantian County master's book and wiped every day, and there was not even a trace of dust on it.

Lantian County without Yunzhao seems to be getting better.

There is no shortage of tax cents paid every year, and it goes up every year.

On the seventh day of November in the winter of the 9th year of Chongzhen, two old yamen guarding the Yamen of Lantian County were riding on chairs with their backs to the south wall and were drowsy by the warm sun. A group of sparrows were on the edge of the county’s government office. The prisoner who was chained by the big shackles was leaning against the wall to bask in the sun while pecking at the shackles, while the other prisoner with a rotten **** was **** with a chain and lay down in the sun to bask in the sun, hoping that his injuries would be effective. Get well soon.

There were wooden signs sticking behind their necks, and the wooden signs had words on them, one with the word stealing, and the other with cheating.

A thin middle-aged man wearing a thick cotton robe put his hands in his sleeves, slowly approached the two prisoners, carefully looked at the wooden signs on their necks, and then looked up through the gate to look at the empty county hall. , Cough gently.

The two old officials raised their heads together, seeing that it was a Mr. Dong Heng, and put their heads on their arms again.

Seeing that no one paid any attention, Mr. Dong Hung frowned and crossed the threshold, and was about to enter the county hall.

An old government servant said lazily: "If you have nothing to do in court, stick thirty."

Mr. Dong Heng stopped and said, "You are so slack..."

Before Mr. Dong Heng could finish speaking, another old government officer said: "Lantian County is just like that. When the county magistrate was in the past, we would leaned against the roots of the south wall to bask in the sun. What are you, dare to be in Lantian County. act wildly."

Mr. Dong Heng smiled and looked at the two old officials with his hands behind his back and said, "Oh? It turns out to be the rules of your county~www.wuxiahere.com~ The students want to meet the county lord to discuss something, I don’t know if I can tell them."

The old servant looked at the coins handed over by Mr. Dong Heng contemptuously and said: "The county veteran has long stipulated that people who have nothing to do with him will receive five taels of silver. Do you want these coins to be fooled?"

Mr. Dong Heng was stunned again, a hint of anger appeared on his face, he lifted his foot and stamped on the ground to forcefully press his anger and said, "What if the people have grievances?"

As if he hadn’t seen Mr. Dong Heng’s angry face, he continued to lazily said: "If the people have grievances, they should first go to the chief, chief of grain, and village elders. If the chief, chief of grain, or village elders can’t solve it. The matter will be reported to the county government.

The county’s time is precious. How many major issues need to be dealt with, and where is the time to manage some trivial matters that the villagers have quarreled with. "

"Where is your county honor?"

Mr. Dong Hung realized that it was unwise to entangle with these old servants, so he went straight to the subject again.

"My county honor? His old man went to be a thief in idle time..."
