Chapter 147 Black powder has a new breakthrough! (seeking automatic subscription)

Long Yongsheng was very happy when he heard Xiao Qi's new military order. He said that he had long wanted to conduct drills like this, but he did not dare to do so because he was concerned about the gunpowder, projectiles, and the service life of the artillery.

Xiao Qi asked him to do it boldly, and he would replenish as much gunpowder as he consumed. Remember to send a small boat to the island to retrieve those projectiles.

As for the lifespan of the artillery, there is no need to worry about it, just use the scrapped ones and send them to the foundry bureau to replace them with new ones.

In the end, Xiao Qi told Long Yongsheng not to slack off in the drills, not only the artillery drills, but also the dark and heavy fog at sea may be used by the enemy for boarding battles.

The fighting skills of the soldiers on the warship can't be delayed, and none of them can be slack.

Long Yongsheng hastened to assure Xiao Qi that he never dared to slack off for a moment the necessary skills for the navy. From the moment they boarded the ship, they had been practicing the ship while practicing the boarding battle without interruption.

This made Xiao Qi very satisfied. He asked Long Yongsheng to train his soldiers well. There will be many warships like this entering service in the future. At that time, he will have to train new captains and train new sailors.

He himself must not be slack, in the future he will lead several or even a dozen such warships, and follow him to conquer the world.

Long Yongsheng was extremely excited after hearing this. He was surprised to be able to lead such a giant battleship in his life. The commander actually said that there would be many such battleships in the future, and they would even be under his command in the future.

How can this prevent Long Yongsheng from being so happy that he can't sleep, leading a group of battleships that cover the sky and the sun to go to the expedition, it will be an amazing thing, there is no such thing as Guangzong Yaozu!

Not long after Xiao Qi returned to Lin'an City after inspecting the three-masted warship, he received another piece of good news that surprised him very much.

A new gunpowder improvement method proposed by an old gunpowder craftsman succeeded!

The formula successfully improved by this old gunpowder craftsman can increase the power of newly created black powder by 50.00% compared to the original!

This made Xiao Qi very happy. Even with the current artillery, within the range of the artillery, not only the amount of medicine is reduced, but also the projectile can be hit farther and more destructive!

If he tries to produce a more durable cannon, then the range and power of the cannon will have a leap.

Xiao Qi immediately ordered that all gunpowder be produced according to this new formula from then on.

Order people to quickly pull several types of artillery to the test site to test the maximum charge of this artillery, and the most reasonable charge and range, and then list the new operating specifications and issue the "Vulcan Army".

Please order this old craftsman to be awarded the highest seventh-rank official position in the Foundry Bureau, and rewarded 500 taels of silver and [-] acres of fertile land.

The reason why there are no top sixth-rank officials in the Foundry Bureau is that Xiao Qi specially keeps them, otherwise these people will not be able to reward them for their meritorious service in the future.

Isn't there such a saying that the power of role models is infinite.

With the encouragement of this old craftsman who had just been assigned to the 'Great Song Foundry Bureau' and jumped to the seventh-rank official position for the first time, these craftsmen, whether casting cannons or gunpowder, were stimulated again.

The key is not only that people will be able to receive the seventh-rank salary in the future, but this time the reward is 500 taels of silver and [-] acres of fertile land.

Not to mention having enough food and clothing for the rest of our lives, as long as our descendants don't produce prodigal sons, there won't be any problem in having food and clothing for three generations!

The unusual reward for the old craftsman's official position finally made the civil servants angry. These people joined Xiao Qi in the court and said that he was messing around.

Scholars like them have to study hard for ten years or even decades before they can get a half-job, and some even have to start as a nine-rank officer and work for the court for an unknown number of years before they can reach the seventh rank. official.

Fortunately, he, Xiao Qi, actually said that he would give it to a seventh-rank official, a craftsman who even scholars look down on, that's ridiculous!

This group of people made an uproar in the court hall, turning the Great Song Dynasty Hall into a vegetable market, Zhao Shen couldn't help it, because Xiao Qi told him that the common problem of those scholars is to show off and compare.

Don't let this group of guys know about this confidential matter, or one day these coquettish foxes will be able to leak the state secrets of the Song Dynasty to you in the sentence that they sang poems to those Goulan Huakui.

Zhao Shen thought it was right, but now these ministers are making too much trouble, and he can't say the reason for the award, so he had to send someone to notify Xiao Qi to solve it.

Xiao Qi was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, when he heard the emperor told him the reason for calling him to court, he was furious!

Following the Zhongguan, he hurried to the court hall.

This group of ministers is now going all out, this Xiao Qi is too much now, is there any reason, he has already overshadowed the sky with one hand in the court, does he really treat us ministers as a display?

Seeing Xiao Qi coming to the court hall, they all went into full fire and accused Xiao Qi of disturbing the court, ignoring the rules of the ancestors and playing the piano indiscriminately.

Xiao Qi snorted coldly: "Hmph! What disturbed Chao Gang and the rules of the ancestors, now you know how to take out these crap and talk about it?

Half of you are old ministers who have experienced the shame of Jingkang. The ancestors ruled that the master humiliated the ministers to death. Why are you old bastards still not dead? "

As soon as Xiao Qi said these words, not only the ministers but also Zhao Shen were shocked. This Jingkang shame was a great shame and humiliation for the old Zhao family, and no one was allowed to talk about it.

What is my son-in-law doing?

At this time, an old official couldn't hold on anymore, he stood up and angrily reprimanded Xiao Qi, saying that he actually exposed the scars of the emperor's royal family in the court, his heart is to be punished!

Xiao Qi was furious: "Bah! Zhu Nima is a Huakucha, what kind of royal scars, isn't it because you are afraid that others will tell about this, you old bastards can no longer call yourself a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty because you didn't die. Did the slogan benefit yourself?"

That old guy didn't expect that Xiao Qi would dare to speak dirty words in the court hall, pointing at Xiao Qi you you you you for a long time but he didn't say anything.

Xiao Qi glanced at these ministers with contempt, and then said:

"In the final analysis, isn't it because being an official has always been a privilege for you self-righteous so-called scholars?

Now I feel that I reward those craftsmen who have made meritorious service to the country, breaking the privilege of you so-called scholars who can be officials.

This has challenged your scholarly monopoly on official careers, and that's why you jumped so high. "

Yu Yunwen, who stood aside and did not support or object to these ministers, heard Xiao Qi's words, looked at Xiao Qi in surprise, and said in his heart: I thought this Xiao Qi was young and energetic, and he did it unintentionally. This is not the case at all!

Xiao Qi bowed to Zhao Shen: "Father, my ministers invite Lord Yu Yunwen and several other adults to follow my ministers to check the reasons for rewarding those craftsmen. If they still feel that those people should not be granted official positions when they come back, My ministers are willing to dismiss those people from their official positions."

Xiao Qi mentioned the names of Yu Yunwen and four or five other adults who had made military achievements against the Song Dynasty, and asked the emperor to order them to see it.

Of course Zhao Shen understood what it meant, so he waved his hand and asked the Zhongguan to take out a stack of non-disclosure agreements, and asked these people to come up to sign and adjourn to check the situation.

Yu Yunwen was even more surprised when he saw those strict confidentiality clauses. At first, he thought that Zhao Shen was too fond of his son-in-law, so that Xiao Qi who was so unprincipled was approved as soon as he reported it.

Now it seems that this matter is definitely not simple, there must be a big secret in it, and Yu Yunwen is also a loyal veteran, so naturally he will not reveal the things that the court requires to be kept secret, so he signed his name with a brush.

The other ministers, seeing such a strict confidentiality clause, thought that the emperor was embarrassing them. When they saw that Yu Yunwen had signed, they didn't think about it anymore, and they all signed their names.

The old guy was not happy: "I have worked hard for Da Song all my life, why don't you let me check it? Is there something tricky in it? Yu Yunwen, you can't help the thief to speak for the benefit in private!"

When Yu Yunwen heard this, his nose was so angry that the old dog started biting people!
