…………

The kings and officials from many departments came to the Ministry of War one after another to visit the first mysterious cannon built by the Yun Kingdom.

Officials from the Ministry of Industry proudly introduced the structure of the mysterious cannon to everyone and the intricacies of its manufacture. Many officials were extremely envious and wished they could switch to the Ministry of Industry.

Now, the Ministry of Industry has become the object of attention of civil and military officials.

"Brother, you are really promising now. You actually made such an amazing weapon, tsk tsk..."

"Your Ministry of Industry is about to become prosperous. This mysterious cannon is enough to upgrade all the officials in your Ministry of Industry to three levels in a row, surpassing all the officials in other departments in one go."

"Okay! With this thing, what else do we in the Yun Kingdom have to fear?"

"Haha...the grassland people are going to be in bad luck!"

The happiest among the kings is King Xia, who is in charge of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War controls the armies of all states in the country and commands all the soldiers and horses in the country.

Seeing such a powerful weapon in front of him, the King of Heroes simply wished he could take command in person and let foreign countries know the power of the mysterious cannon.

"Good stuff!"

The King of Xia stared closely at the mysterious cannon, as if he was seeing a golden mountain.

King Ji waved his hand humbly, pointed at Du Ning and said: "Thanks to Du Shilang's drawing design, our Ministry of Industry was able to successfully build the Xuanji Cannon. After preliminary testing, the power of the Xuanji Cannon was shocking enough.

All armies will have invincible destructive power on the battlefield."

His tone was calm, but he had an extremely arrogant attitude, as if he didn't take other departments seriously.

Regarding this point, the officials present could only be convinced.

In normal times, officials from the Ministry of Industry would never dare to be so complacent.

There is no way, the Ministry of Industry has made great achievements now!

What's wrong with showing off? Is this too much?

Unless you can also create a mysterious cannon, we will be complacent and arrogant.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Emperor Hongxuan came to the Ministry of Industry.

Everyone hurriedly greeted the ceremony and said in unison: "See you, Your Majesty."

"All the ministers are equal."

Emperor Hongxuan came directly to King Ji and said excitedly: "I heard that my eldest brother's Ministry of Industry has created powerful weapons, and I came here specially to visit."

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the mysterious cannon."

King Ji immediately asked Emperor Hongxuan to see the mysterious cannon, and then explained triumphantly: "This is Du Ning's design. The gunpowder is configured into bullets, loaded into the barrel of the cannon, and after the fuse is ignited, high temperature can be generated instantly.

and pressure, thereby driving the shell out. During this process, the shell will not explode. However, once it touches the ground and forms an impact, the gunpowder in the shell will explode. This principle is similar to that of firecrackers, but specially prepared ammunition can

A large hole was blasted out of the ground, which was as powerful as the Jinshi's Wen Gong ancient sword."

"It's so powerful!"

Emperor Hongxuan looked up at Du Ning and said happily: "Du Aiqing, you have made such great contributions since you came to the Ministry of War. I want to record your contribution first."

"This is also the result of the joint efforts of colleagues from the Ministry of Industry. I dare not take credit." Du Ning said modestly.

"There is no need for this, Du Aiqing. Without your drawings, the Ministry of Industry would not have been able to create the mysterious cannon."

Emperor Hongxuan asked Du Ning again: "How does your Ministry of Industry plan to use the mysterious cannon?"

"I plan to ask the Ministry of Industry to build a hundred mysterious cannons and build a powerful artillery battalion with the help of the Battle of the Western Regions. After taking over the grassland tribes of the Western Regions, our Yun Kingdom can also use the vast grasslands to train a hundred thousand cavalry.

Then our country of Yun will be short of nothing." Du Ning replied.

During the Three-Party Rebellion, Du Ning’s suggestion was to take the grassland first.

That place is great, it’s the best place to train iron riders.

If the Yun Kingdom could have 100,000 cavalry, it would be an extremely powerful elite division.

"I also agree to take the grassland first. The grassland people kill the people indiscriminately and do all kinds of evil. If they cannot avenge the people on the border, it will be an indelible shame for the Yun Kingdom!"

When mentioning the grassland people, Emperor Hongxuan also gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Fourth brother, how much money does the household department have?" Emperor Hongxuan asked King Yan.

"Back to the emperor, there are still eighty million taels left."

King Yan said: "In addition, the military supplies for leading the troops to the expedition, even if I live frugally, will only cost 30,000 taels."

"Only this little money left?"

"Eighty million taels is just the tax revenue of Yun State for one year!"

"We in the Yun Kingdom have accumulated hundreds of thousands of taels of money, and we have spent all of it on the war."

The officials looked ugly.

"First, use the money from the Ministry of Finance to build a hundred mysterious cannons. Each mysterious cannon must be equipped with at least a hundred cannonballs. In this battle, we will take the grassland first. As long as we capture the grassland, our investment will be recouped. My dear friends,

What do you think?" Emperor Hongxuan suggested.

"Your Majesty is wise, the Prairie Tribe has been recharging its energy in the past few years, and will definitely accumulate a lot of wealth. As long as the Prairie Tribe's territory is conquered, our Yun Country will not lose."

"The war horses of the grassland people can be used to train cavalry, and the cattle and sheep can be used as food. These can be used as military pay."

"I agree with your suggestion."

Officials expressed their opinions immediately, almost without thinking.

"Then order the Ministry of Accounts to allocate more money to quell the battle on the grassland. We can hope that the mysterious cannon will make a contribution."

Emperor Hongxuan gritted his teeth. The household department was getting more and more empty. Once he was completely defeated, he had to go to the common people to squeeze him. This was also a last resort strategy.

No matter what, Emperor Hongxuan was not willing to let the people's lives be affected.
