Chapter 179 The Flintlock Rifle is Born! The Monk Returns! (Ch 179)

In the Golden Palace.
Look at the potatoes and sweet potatoes that were dug out.
Wang Qianhe’s face was full of astonishment.
“Is this the high-yield crop from overseas?”
“No wonder Chen Huaixin values ​​it so much!”
“Such a horrible yield per mu.”
“If I can get it.”
“Then famine… can also be eliminated!”
Wang Qianhe now can’t wait to run to Yu Kingdom through the Jiantian Mirror and snatch those potatoes and sweet potatoes!
Because compared to going overseas, compared to exploring an unknown continent.
He felt that this was the most likely thing to happen!
“well!”
Wang Qianhe was filled with sadness.
And Ji Qingluo, who was sitting above, had a look of helplessness in his eyes.
She knows it too.
If you can get those potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Most of Chengguo’s current situation will be resolved!
“But.”
“Even heading to the Japanese island.”
“I, Chengguodu, am unable to do anything for the time being.”
“Not to mention finding potatoes and sweet potatoes.”
“Even Chen Huaixin took a long time!”
Ji Qingluo sighed.
She suddenly felt that following Ji Changning’s advice and continuing the deduction was not a good choice.
Because the more she knew, the more helpless she felt.
There are obviously many ways and things to solve the current situation of Chengguo.
However……
But she didn’t get any!
“Even if there is a fourth niece who can help.”
“It also requires a lot of money.”
“this……”
“It’s also full of difficulties!”
Ji Qingluo rubbed his head.
Listen to the ministers’ sighs about potatoes and sweet potatoes, and hear the shock they express.
She looked at the Mirror of Heaven, and no one knew what she was thinking.
And the deduction of the future continues.
…
【After successfully planting potatoes and sweet potatoes. 】
【Chen Huaixin was not in a hurry to promote it.】
【”because.”】
【“This amount.”】
[“It’s still too little.”]
[“Continue to plant in the court’s fields.”]
【Chen Huaixin is making arrangements.】
[The new Prime Minister’s face was full of seriousness. ]
He knows very well.
【These potatoes and sweet potatoes. 】
What does it mean?
[“If our country wants to eliminate famine in the future, we can only rely on them!”]
[The new Prime Minister even thought about whether he should arrange soldiers to guard outside the farmland.]
[Although I know that no one would dare to destroy the court’s land. ]
But his character.
[Let him be more cautious. ]
【Chen Huaixin did not refuse, but only sent more people instead of actually mobilizing the army.】
【”besides.”】
[“Those are also crops from the New World.”]
[“We can also arrange for people to plant.”]
【”Although.”】
[“Their yield per acre is not as good as potatoes and sweet potatoes.”]
[“But it is also a very important thing.”]
【Chen Huaixin naturally did not forget.】
[The old Taoist brought back peanuts, sunflowers and other crops. ]
[After seeing the potatoes and sweet potatoes, the new Prime Minister also attached great importance to these things.]
[“Your Majesty, I will make sure everything is arranged!”]
…
【Tenth month of the eighteenth year of Jingping.】
【After the political system stabilizes. 】
【Chen Huaixin established the Military Affairs Council in the inner court. 】
【To better assist him in completing government affairs. 】
…
【Twelfth month of the eighteenth year of Jingping.】
【Ji Changxi has a deeper understanding of rubber. 】
【Especially.】
【After learning more about its functions. 】
[She is even more confident in the manufacture of steam-powered flying objects.]
…
【February, the 19th year of Jingping.】
【Chen Huaixin went to the Gun Research Institute again.】
【Compared to before. 】
[Ji Changxi is still needed to be responsible for communication. 】
[Now, researchers at the Gun Research Institute can directly seek to see him.]
【”because.”】
“The results they have achieved.”
[“Let them have this right!”]
【Chen Huaixin came to the research institute with great expectations.】
[And those researchers did not disappoint him. ]
[“The previous matchlock gun.”]
[“The impact of factors such as weather needs to be considered.”]
[“And its precision is not very high.”]
[“If it’s on the battlefield.”]
[“We also need soldiers with weapons to protect us!”]
[The researchers explained.]
[Since they had built their matchlock guns, they had formed a small team.]
[Generals would often come to them to give them feedback on the performance of the matchlock gun on the battlefield.]
【Among them. 】
【The most complained about. 】
【It is because of the lack of precision. 】
[A volley is needed to make up for the disadvantage! 】
【and.】
【If the enemy gets close to you. 】
[No protection from comrades.]
[This musket team will suffer a heavy blow! ]
[The huge amount of money spent on its creation will be completely wasted! ]
【”so.”】
【“Our follow-up research.”】
[“Basically, we improve it based on the feedback from the generals.”]
[The researchers continued.]
They know very well.
【Weapons made by myself.】
[It needs to work on the battlefield. ]
[So they didn’t complain about the users’ complaints, because this is their job! ]
[Otherwise, if their negligence caused the Yu army to lose a war, even they themselves would not forgive themselves! ]
【”originally.”】
“We’re still figuring it out.”
[“How can we improve these aspects?”]
[“Fortunately, the teacher has improved the steel forging technology.”]
[“This allows us to create a more accurate musket!”]
【The teacher the researcher is talking about.】
[Naturally, it refers to Ji Changxi. 】
[They are Ji Changxi’s first batch of students! ]
【”and.”】
“We also take advantage of the properties of flint.”
[“I created this thing called flint.”]
[“This will help us a lot in making muskets!”]
[A researcher took out something with a strange shape.]
[After Chen Huaixin searched carefully, he immediately matched it with the lighter in his knowledge.]
【but.】
[His expression was a little strange.]
[“Lighters in knowledge were invented hundreds of years earlier than matches.”]
[“My Dayu’s lighter is still like this now?”]
【“What a coincidence…”】
【Chen Huaixin thought in his heart.】
[These researchers naturally had no idea what His Majesty was thinking, they just continued to explain.]
[“We grafted this principle onto the musket.”]
[“This will not only make the musket no longer afraid of wind and rain.”]
[“You can also shoot faster and more accurately!”]
[While talking, the researchers took out their results.]
[Looking at the new musket placed in the box. ]
【Chen Huaixin looked at it very seriously.】
[The researchers also spoke finally.]
[“We named it – Flintlock!”]
…
“Flintlock?”
“This thing.”
“Is it better than a matchlock gun?!”
Looking at the deduced future, Ji Changling opened his eyes wide.
Ever since the effectiveness of the musket was proven, she has become particularly interested in this weapon!
After such a long time, the Musket Research Institute has achieved results again, so she is naturally extremely curious!
“No need to worry about the gunpowder in the fire door being blown away by the wind or wet by the rain.”
“Don’t worry about firing too early before you’ve aimed properly.”
“The match should be lit to ignite the flint.”
“The researchers at the Gun Research Institute.”
“What a clever brain you have!”
Ji Changling watched the experimental process and his eyes lit up immediately!
She thought.
The matchlock gun is already the limit.
Didn’t expect this musket trail.
I can actually continue my research!
“How far will the future musket develop?!”
Ji Changling was full of anticipation.
Ji Changxi, one of the princesses, just glanced at the flintlock rifle and then focused her attention on the steam-powered flying vehicle that she was going to make in the future!
“It is possible to control the direction manually.”
“You don’t have to rely entirely on wind power.”
“My future self.”
“What would you do?!”
Ji Changxi was thinking.
Of course she knew that there was a huge gap between her present self and her future self.
But she still tried hard to think, using her current thinking, to consider how to solve this problem!
If it were her now, she would use a steam engine as power to allow the flying object to be controlled.
But whether it is a hot air balloon or a hang glider, the lighter the better, so that it can fly.
“Put the steam engine on the flying object.”
“Such a lot of weight.”
“real……”
“Can you fly?”
…
【After knowing that the flintlock rifle was invented. 】
【Most exciting.】
[It is undoubtedly the generals of the army. ]
【Especially.】
【I’m watching now.】
【After the test firing of the flintlock rifle. 】
[The Pinglu Jiedushi was even more direct and came in front of Chen Huaixin.]
【”His Majesty.”】
[“I am currently lacking a musketeer team.”]
[“This flintlock rifle looks pretty good.”]
【“Not as good as that.”】
[“First, organize a team for me and test it on the battlefield to see how it performs?”]
[The governor of Pinglu was shameless. ]
[The same is true for other generals.]
[The sounds of scrambling and quarreling made Chen Huaixin feel helpless, and he turned around and left.]
[The Minister of War next to him smiled and said, “These old guys seem to be in good health. At least when they are fighting, they can still be as loud as when they were young.”]
[Over the years, too many officials have passed away, so the Minister of War was naturally very happy to see that all the generals were still alive and well.]
[The same is true for Chen Huaixin. At this age, he is still so shameless, which shows that they have a very good mentality. Only such people can live longer.]
【”but.”】
[“The Flintlock Corps.”]
[“It is really necessary to set up one.”]
[“Especially when we play against Roma in the future.”]
[“It should work wonders!”]
【Chen Huaixin thought in his heart.】
He knows very well.
[The reason why the Mongol Empire in my mind was able to launch an expedition and shock the world was largely due to gunpowder.]
[Even though he knew that the Yu Kingdom should be able to gain an advantage over Rome, he preferred to use technology to crush Rome rather than charging into battle.]
【”so.”】
[“It can also allow more soldiers to return home!”]
…
[June, the 19th year of Jingping.]
[A large number of Kunlun slaves were transported to Yu Country to build the railway. ]
[The progress of the Western Region railway is also much faster than before. ]
【but.】
[Just like what Chen Huaixin had thought before. ]
[Those small countries in Southeast Asia have become somewhat confused because of this action of arresting stateless people. ]
【”cause.”】
[“Yes, some Southeast Asian countries have discovered it.”]
[“Even if you sell the people of other countries to the merchants of Yu Country, they will be bought in full.”]
[“Because for the merchants of Yu Country, they don’t care about the true origins of Kunlun slaves at all.”]
[“As long as they look like Kunlun slaves and have been captured and sold, they will dare to take them in!”]
[“So this has led to some small Southeast Asian countries eyeing…the neighboring countries!”]
[The new Prime Minister explained the details.]
【After hearing these words, the court officials…】
[His expression did not change at all.]
【after all.】
[Although this seems to be related to their Yu country. 】
[But most of these are problems of small Southeast Asian countries themselves! ]
[“Our merchants are only here to do business.”]
[“You guys want to take a shortcut.”]
【“Take action against the neighboring country yourself.”】
【“Could it be our problem?!”】
【This is what the ministers thought in their hearts. 】
【Chen Huaixin frowned.】
[“The fighting between them seems to have nothing to do with Dayu, right?”]
【“Still.”】
【“Who wants to tell this?”】
[“You blame it on my country?”]
【Chen Huaixin looked at the new Prime Minister.】
[The new Prime Minister shook his head.]
【“Not really.”】
[“They are not that bold!”]
【”Although.”】
【“The people of Southeast Asia.”】
[“There are indeed similar remarks.”]
[“But they were all suppressed by the powerful people in their country!”]
[The small countries in Southeast Asia know very well who caused the riots and wars! ]
[But knowing is knowing, but it doesn’t mean you can say it out loud! ]
[The scene of the Yu Kingdom’s navy bombarding their country and forcing them to open the door to trade is still vivid in their minds! ]
[The powerful people of small countries who dare not show the slightest dissatisfaction can only vent their anger on their own citizens. ]
【And the new Prime Minister continued. 】
【”but.”】
[“Their quarrel.”]
[“But it has affected the trade of merchants from my country.”]
[“It also affects the current tax revenue of my country.”]
【”so.”】
[“Those merchants conveyed their ideas to the court through the Chamber of Commerce, hoping that Dayu could intervene.”]
【Hearing this.】
[The court officials immediately understood why the new Prime Minister would bring up Southeast Asia in the court.]
[After all, this is about Yuguo’s tax revenue! ]
[It doesn’t matter what the small countries in Southeast Asia are like, but don’t let it affect my country’s money-making! ]
【But many generals felt a little embarrassed. 】
【“If they are forbidden to attack each other.”】
[“Let merchants not accept people from other countries.”]
[“That would indeed solve the problem.”]
【”But.”】
[“This is not of much benefit to my country.”]
[The deterrent power of Yuguo to the surrounding countries enables them to do this. 】
[But the construction and wear and tear of the Western Region Railway will still require a lot of Kunlun slaves! ]
【In comparison. 】
[This deal is really not worth it! ]
[“It’s best to let them continue to fight each other, while our Yu country merchants continue to do business.”]
【The Minister of Revenue expressed his thoughts.】
【only.】
【These words.】
【It gave the generals even more headaches. 】
[“How can such a thing be done? The sword of war is blind!”]
[“Why can’t we do that? We can pick one or two small countries and make an example of them. If anyone interferes with the trade of our merchants in Yu country because of war, we can send the navy to visit their doorsteps.”]
[“Isn’t this enough?”]
[The Minister of Revenue said directly.]
[The generals were stunned.]
[Is it still possible? ]
【And Chen Huaixin, who was sitting above, added something.】
[“There is no need to wait until they interfere with the merchants of Yu Country before sending troops to take action.”]
[“Just find some people to impersonate me, so that they can know what the consequences are of offending Yu Shang.”]
【”in this way.”】
“They fight their war.”
“We do our business.”
[“The best of both worlds!”]
…
【August, the 19th year of Jingping.】
【Wars between small Southeast Asian countries intensify.】
【It has reached this level.】
[It is no longer just about capturing Kunlun slaves. 】
【It’s because they already have a feud. 】
【Although.】
【In the eyes of Yuguo merchants. 】
【A war of this magnitude is nothing. 】
【But it will indeed delay their business! 】
[This gave them a headache.]
【but.】
【soon.】
【The situation has changed.】
[It seems that during a war with a small country, some Yu merchants were accidentally killed. This immediately angered the Yu navy, and they directly sent warships to the waters of that small country to force it to hand over the murderer. ]
[That small country naturally did not dare to resist at all and directly handed over all the soldiers who participated in the war.]
[Although this caused the reputation of the royal family of that small country to decline rapidly in the country, it also made other small countries understand that they can fight wars, but they should not involve the people of Yu Country! ]
【”otherwise.”】
【“That’s Yujun.”】
[“But it will be unreasonable!”]
【Small countries in Southeast Asia are terrified.】
[They all told the soldiers not to interfere with Yu Shang! ]
[This immediately caused a very strange scene to appear on the battlefield.]
[The two countries were at war, and Yu Shang passed by. The generals of both sides ordered them to stop fighting immediately, and after he passed by, they started fighting again. ]
[While this kind of thing makes the small country feel ashamed, it also makes the merchants of Yu country very happy! ]
【”really.”】
【“There is a powerful country.”】
[“You can do whatever you want!”]
…
【Twelfth month of the 19th year of Jingping.】
【On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Yuguo. 】
【Buddhism brought an extremely precious gift. 】
[“The monk who went to the West for more than ten years is back!”]
