Chapter 272: Dragon Son Long Sun
Although Yang Wulian was talking nonsense, Qin Shaoyou had to endure it.n∈,
In the afternoon, Qin Shaoyou watched the artillery team's test firing.
As soon as the bell rang, hundreds of cannons fired together, thick smoke rolled, and the black smoke was like a flying dragon, hovering up into the sky.
The pungent breath made Qin Shaoyou unable to bear it. He tried hard to cover his nose and cough. Yang Wulian, who was sitting beside him, ran towards the place where he was shot.
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but feel speechless. In fact, this scene may be spectacular in the eyes of ordinary people, but he was a human being for two lifetimes, and the test shot of this level of artillery was just a pediatrician.
What he was concerned about was the movements of each gun position, what the gunner was doing, what the gunner was doing, and what the auxiliary gun was doing. Everyone had their own division of labor, and seemed to be quite familiar with it. The loading, filling, and loading were also done in one go. The gunner fired can only rely on his feel. This kind of thing can only be slowly experienced. Although these people are elite soldiers, they are all young people after all, and they seem to be happy with the cannon. The gun's muzzle is now red and needs to be cooled. Therefore, everyone can rest for a while and wait until the muzzle cools down, the auxiliary artillery is responsible for cleaning the cannon chamber.
Wang Er seemed to have formulated a standard with the assistance of Yang Wulian. Although this standard is simple, it seems to contain many truths.
Since the Tiance Army was separated, these gunners no longer wore Mingguang armor. After all, they had almost no chance to hand over the troops, so they were dressed in short shirts, tied their legs, and had deerskin boots on the bottom. There was nothing in the farm, but the one that was most lacking was fur goods. These excellent fur goods sent from Wolf Fort were first changed into dresses within the Tiance Army.
Qin Shaoyou once ordered the soldiers to make leather jackets. The advantage of leather jackets is that although they are thin, they are warmer. If winter comes, the soldiers are wearing inner shirts inside, but there is a bright light armor covering the outside, which is cold and their hands and feet are frozen. What to do?
Therefore, Qin Shaoyou made a large number of furs into a workshop for leather goods. At first, he made almost all military leather goods, including leather gloves and leather boots. In addition, there were clothes and hats. The most important thing is practicality, such as trying to keep your body warm and improving your body convenience. Who knew that later, this thing began to become popular in Mengjin. Everyone liked real things. At present, the Tang Dynasty, cotton has not been introduced on a large scale. Therefore, keeping warm in winter is more about leather goods, not all dignitaries can wear furs, so more people just wear a few more clothes to keep warm. The effect can be imagined?
But for Zhuangzi, a good skin here may be exchanged for one or two yuan of tea, or something that is almost worthless. After processing, not to mention the price is cheaper, but more importantly, it is practical.
After all, furs were before. Because they were widely used for nobleness, the leather jackets were more likely to be elegant and luxurious, but their practicality was very ordinary. Ordinary people could not afford it. Even if they bought it, would they wear such gorgeous fur clothes to farm and make craftsmanship? On the contrary, this kind of close-fitting thing is warm and does not affect movement. Therefore, many people saved one month and a half month of wages and were willing to buy one, so now, when it is cold and cold, everyone in Mengjin and inside and outside Mengjin are wearing this military leather jacket.
Many merchants traveling from south to south also saw business opportunities. After all, the price of fur here is too tempting, and Mengjin is popular, and the purchasing power in other places is lower. However, there are no small wealthy families in each prefecture and county. Can ordinary people not afford it, so many merchants have made a decision, so that the leather workshops in the village have been expanded repeatedly, but they cannot meet the needs. As a result, they have to build a new workshop in Hebei and recruit thousands of people to work here.
Wang Erlitou was wearing such a leather jacket, and he covered his shirt. Although it was cold and the ground was frozen, there was heat rising all over his body. He saluted and said, "What do you think Wei Duke?"
Qin Shaoyou just nodded: "Sure."
It was not that Qin Shaoyou was stingy with praise, but that he could detect many unsatisfactory aspects.
Wang Er's face turned red and he hurriedly said, "Damn it..."
Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said, "This is not your fault, nor is it the soldiers' fault. In this world, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or the method of marching and formation, or the operation of artillery, it is actually just a truth that is 'only familiar'. To reach this state of being proficient, it is just to step up the practice day and night. Look, Mr. Yang is here."
Sure enough, Yang Wulian came quickly with a broken bullet in his arms. His face was not very good and said depressedly: "Duke, the deviation is too great. This may not be the reason for the gunner calibration. The key point is still on the inner wall of the gun barrel. Oh... the range can be settled. The student said goodbye, and some things have to be pondered."
Qin Shaoyou was eager for him to leave, so he responded.
Wang Er looked at Yang Wulian's figure in contempt and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Yang, I really admire him."
Qin Shaoyou said with interest: "What do you admire?"
Wang Er scratched his head: "Making a cannon."
Qin Shaoyou smiled and said, "Mr. Yang is nothing, it's just serious. In fact, he is a little crazy, but if this person is not crazy, can he do something? Can he specialize in one thing? This is obviously not possible, so Wang Ziwei, you have to go crazy too. When you Wang Er is crazy, everyone in this artillery camp will be infected by you. If your artillery camp is crazy, our Tiance Army will be considered the best elite soldier in the world." Qin Shaoyou paused and said, "When I chose to choose a person to enter the artillery camp, Fang Duwei had it.
There are a few candidates, but I chose you to be the lieutenant. Do you know why? Because I first entered the camp back then, we were still the Unity Camp. At that time, you could sleep while standing and lying. You could only have a little energy when eating. From this, you are a good seedling. If you really want to do something, you will always be crazier than others." Qin Shaoyou looked at him and said with anticipation: "So, don't let me hear the Duke, damn words from you, go and learn from Mr. Yang."
Wang Er was stunned and nodded, but seemed to be thinking.
Qin Shaoyou didn't say anything, and had lunch at the cannon camp, and then crossed the river and returned to the south bank.
While waiting for the princess to marry, life was extremely peaceful, but half a month later, all this was completely broken.
News came from Luoyang City that Prime Minister Li Dan arrived in the capital.
Obviously, after receiving the urgent report, this "filial" King of Xiang rushed to Luoyang at almost the fastest speed, and in more than 20 days.
What is coming finally comes.
Qin Shaoyou's expression was not overly worried. He just picked up the teacup and sipped a sip of princess tea.
What will happen next?
Qin Shaoyou thought so in his heart that Li Dan's fame and fortune were finally exposed. He also experienced fear after his son was convicted, but once His Majesty "missed", he quickly arrived in Luoyang. This shows that Li Dan was not willing to be lonely, or he still had some kind of "delusion".
"It's really a turbulent time." Qin Shaoyou smiled mockingly.

Yongning Gate.
This city gate looks quite ancient and has been built since the Sui Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty was in its early Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan also built the Yongning Gate. Therefore, this Yongning Gate was once known as the number one in the world. Wu Zetian moved the capital to Luoyang, and here he changed the original Yong'an Gate to Yongning Gate, which is quite similar to Chang'an Yongning Gate.
Here, a man stood under the door opening. He raised his head and looked at the ancient and tall city tower. His eyes passed through the deep door opening, and his eyes showed fascination, fear and various complex feelings.
A lieutenant came forward and saluted, "Your Highness, Luoyang is here."
"Ha..." The man sighed with his hands behind his back, and then walked through the doorway step by step.
And at this time, the rumbling sound shocked the earth.
At the end of the long street of the gate, black and white horses flocked to us.
The leader of the general strangled his horse from a distance and then jumped down. The young man walked quickly to the old man, bowed to the ground, and said, "The lower-ranking general Chen Kang, has seen His Highness, and he is ordered to welcome His Highness into the palace."
The General Jinwu has changed his candidates, and Chen Kang was able to stand out because he was highly trusted by His Majesty. Such a powerful person personally brought the imperial guards to this place. What does this mean behind this?
At this moment, a ray of light flashed through this person, who was called His Highness, and deep in his eyes, seemed to be ready to move. He raised his eyes and said, "Please lead the way!"
"promise!"
Hulala, the forest-like feather forest was divided into two, and a carriage that came from the palace arrived in front of the old man. The old man boarded the car and performed the manners.
