Chapter 271: counterfeit

A faint cyan smoke drifted through the firearms camp, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.
The faces of the civil servants were a little pale, and their bodies were still a little weak at this time. Although the generals were much stronger than the civil servants, their minds were also trembling.
They had never seen such a terrifying weapon, not to mention that the shell pierced through three trees, even the thunderous noise was enough to cause chaos in the cavalry.
Luo Quan had only learned from Luo Xin that the artillery was powerful, but he didn't know how powerful it was. Now he finally realized how powerful the artillery was.
"The emperor, the power of artillery is so powerful, it is a weapon to kill the enemy, these hundred are not enough, the minister thinks that he should continue to buy artillery from King Qi to deter Xiao Xiao." Luo Quan said with a fist.
Fiji recovered from the shock of the artillery, and also bowed and said: "The emperor, General Luo is right, so the more powerful weapons are the better."
Having seen the power of artillery with his own eyes, Xiao Wenxuan had long been concerned about it. This was a rare opportunity to open up the military level with other vassals, and he would naturally not miss it.
"The two Aiqings were reasonable. After I returned, I decreed that King Qi would continue to provide Chang'an with artillery." Xiao Wenxuan smiled comfortably.
After seeing the power of the artillery, the princes who came to watch each looked different.
Thinking that King Qi’s army is now equipped with a large number of artillery, a cloud of haze suddenly appeared in their hearts. Such a powerful King Qi, if they become the throne in the future, what should they do?
Then they looked at the embarrassed prince, and suddenly felt relieved. The prince should be the most worried about now.
"Rumble..." The gun sound continued for a while in the firearms camp. Xiao Wenxuan, who had deeply felt the power of the artillery, was finally satisfied. At this moment, he looked at the shells in the ammunition box and frowned. It was only for a while, in the ammunition box. All 16 shells were shot.
He clearly remembered that the shells of this artillery also required silver, and the price of the shells was not cheap. One shell was twenty taels of silver, and these sixteen shells cost more than three hundred taels of silver.
Although the number of artillery purchased this time was 8,821, each artillery equipped with 300 rounds, and this was 6,000, which was almost the same money as artillery, and that did not include gunpowder.
Thinking that the artillery would cost a huge amount of silver, and seeing that the artillery is very similar to the barrel, he suddenly got the idea of ​​imitating the artillery.
Xiao Ming said the artillery technology was so amazing, he wanted to see if it was really the case?
If it can't be imitated, it's fine, it means that it is really difficult to forge artillery, and the money is worth it, but if it is easy to imitate, he will beat Xiao Ming.
Because he was able to imitate it, it showed that this artillery was not a secret. Xiao Ming was deceiving the king and exaggerating it deliberately.
After all, at the court at the time, he knew that Xiao Ming was unwilling to hand over the artillery technology, and he was worried about the technology being stolen, so he let the artillery technology stay in Qingzhou.
But he still wanted to monopolize artillery technology in his heart.
The civil and military people of the Manchu dynasty have seen the power of artillery, and Xiao Wenxuan's goal has also been achieved. After learning this news, I am afraid that the kings of different surnames will definitely be fidgeting.
Back in the palace, Xiao Wenxuan immediately asked Feng Deshui to secretly ask Chengyou, who was responsible for the manufacture of the fire tube, to be the supervisor.
"You have seen this artillery, right?" Xiao Wenxuan asked Fang Chengyou.
In recent years, only Changan's Equipment Department has been able to produce fire tubes, and all this is due to Fang Chengyou's grandfather, who has retained the technology of fire tube production from generation to generation.
Because Fang Chengyou's father is a prisoner, and he has inherited his father's position, it can be said that the son assumes the father's position.
"The emperor, I have seen it. It is indeed very powerful, several times more powerful than the fire tube." Fang Chengyou felt sour.
Their Fang family has always been favored by the production of fire tubes. Now that the artillery is out, his fire tubes are not cared about, so he is annoyed for a while.
Moreover, when the artillery hadn't entered Chang'an, he often belittled the artillery on various occasions. Now that he has really seen it, he is jealous again.
"Well, if this is the case, can the Equipment Department imitate artillery?" Xiao Wenxuan said lightly.
Fang Chengyou was shocked when he heard the words. This was exactly when he found the face of the Fang family, so he said: "The emperor, this fire tube is similar to the artillery in seven or eight points. The lower officials thought it was just a difference in length and thickness. It's thick, and then increase the amount of gunpowder, maybe it can be comparable to artillery."
"Really?" Xiao Wenxuan showed a look of interest, and he said: "In that case, you should go back and let the Weapon Division imitate the artillery. I will ask the Firearms Camp to send you a cannon. You must study it carefully."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Chengyou was overjoyed.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Wenxuan told Fang Chengyou to retreat.
Leaving the palace, Fang Chengyou walked to the Department of Equipment, when a carriage suddenly stopped beside him.
"Fang is the supervisor, the prince would like to please!" An old face appeared in the carriage, and this person was the Prince Zhanshi Zhao Hongyang of the East Palace.
The residence of the prince of the Kingdom of Dayu is called the East Palace. In order to be enthroned in the future, the East Palace has its own official system, which is basically equivalent to a small court.
This Zhao Hongyang is the Prince Zhan Shi of the East Palace, who is in charge of the affairs of the East Palace and belongs to the servant.
Fang Chengyou watched his surroundings vigilantly at this time, and saw that there was no one around, so he got into the carriage.
The carriage made a few laps on the streets of Chang'an, and finally stopped in front of a famous red sleeve building in Chang'an City.
"Please, the prince and the prince are waiting upstairs for the prison." Zhao Hongyang said with a smile.
It's not the first time that Fang Chengyou has come here~EbookFREE.me~ He drove up to the second floor and knocked on the door before a heavenly room.
After a while, the door of the room opened, Fang Chengyou saw a pile of white flesh inside, and at the same time a flushing voice came.
"Fang Chengyou pays respects to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose, Chitose Chitose!"
On the bed, the prince played with the three naked sons, and said lightly: "Stop the gift."
"I have seen His Royal Highness." Fang Chengyou got up, then bowed to Zhao Yuanliang, who was sitting at the table drinking tea.
At this time, Zhao Yuanliang seemed to have been used to the scene of the prince and the girl in the green building. He said directly: "Fang is the supervisor, please sit down. The craftsmen in Zhaodi have already made artillery a few days ago. Thank you Fang Zuo. A detailed production process is provided, and the craftsmen can’t make a fire tube even if they want to break their heads.

"His Royal Highness is polite. It is also an honor to do some meager efforts for King Zhao." Fang Chengyou glanced at the spring light on the bed, his mouth was dry.
