Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Coming from thousands of years later, as a very unique person in this world, not to mention being in power now and adapting to this environment, Guo Shao has always felt in his heart that he can do great things and change the world according to his will.

His performance really surprised the world. Since the Tokyo Mutiny actually seized power, in just three years, he wiped out the three largest separatist regimes, ruled the world without a strong enemy, and even tried the Northern Expedition to fight the Liao Kingdom as an enemy...Suddenly, Guo Shao looked back on the past and felt that he had done it fast enough.

Sometimes big things can't be too fast. Back then, Emperor Yang of Sui built a canal and confiscated Korea, because he was eager to think about something big, and ended up losing all his money!

However, Guo Shao is not satisfied with the current speed. He feels that he is bound by something and has been unable to enjoy himself. Just like this imperial city, Guo Shao stays here every day like being in a cage.

Now, he can only sit here, patiently looking at a document written by the ancients without punctuation. The content is very boring, but you have to think carefully.

What is wrong?

He had to tell himself secretly: Big events are made up of small things.

In the eyes of others, Guo Shao is very calm. He sits there for an hour or two and reads the file all the time. It looks like he is reading a very interesting idle book, reading every page... In fact, he is not that carefree, but he can't panic and has no choice.

...At this moment Zuo You came over and said, "Your Majesty, several people in the cabinet have discussed it. Do you think this arrangement is possible? For the first three days, the minister and Huang Fuzheng (Huang Binglian) were still on duty in the cabinet. First let Minister Zan and Shijun Lu understand the daily affairs of the cabinet. Afterwards, the ministers and others will work in a team of two, alternately working in the cabinet, so that they can go to the government affairs hall at other times."

Guo Shaodao: "I will follow Zuo Shilang's request."

Zuo Youbai retreated to the desk outside the screen, and said to the other three: "Your Majesty agrees."

The three of them clasped their fists in response, they were all in the same room, everyone had heard the conversation between Guo Shao and Zuo You just now.

At this time, Zan Jurun said: "At lunch time, I have something to go out, if I am late for duty in the afternoon, please ask the left servant to speak for me."

After hearing this, Zuo You said: "For the afternoon meeting, all the important ministers from the central government will come, so there should be no delay."

Zan Jurun said, "It's too late."

Zuo You glanced at him, but didn't ask anything important, so he didn't say any more.

Zan Jurun understood the recent transfer, Zuo You and Huang Binglian were planning to become prime ministers! Zan Jurun said in his heart: People in the cabinet can read the memorials for the emperor, I thought it was not an ordinary place before!

Zuo You was the emperor's assistant at the end of his life, and it was reasonable to be a prime minister sooner or later; Huang Binglian's background is not very clear, but he should be someone Guo Shao has known for a long time.

Zan Jurun believes that the cabinet assistant government is the prime minister's pre-election! He also wants to do something of merit and become a prime minister... Now that he has taken the road of studying in the imperial examination and becoming an official, who wouldn't want to be the office of a hundred officials and the venerable scholar?

It's just that there are only a few prime ministers in total, and those who sit on it may not move for a long time, just like that Feng Dao, who was the prime minister of the Five Dynasties! In the end, old death finally made room... so not everyone has a chance.

At noon, everyone left temporarily, and there was an hour for lunch and rest. Lunch is provided by the public.

Zan Jurun didn't eat the official meal, and hurried out of Donghua Gate. His own servants didn't come, and they had to wait until Youshi to come to pick up their master, so Zan Jurun had no choice but to go to the general of the forbidden army guarding the city gate, took out his seal and signature, borrowed a military horse, and then set off on his way.

He rode on Ma Xing Street and saw a steaming restaurant, so he went in and bought two pancakes, and ate them while heading north.

Zan Jurun rushed to the Firearms Workshop in Beiyuan of the Imperial City. Zan Jurun was very concerned about the fact that the Huoqifang was going to experiment with two kinds of weapons today. If it was successful, it would be a credit if it was announced in public during the afternoon meeting.

Zan Jurun understood what he did today. Whoever is meritorious and useful will be reused!

For example, that Lu Duosun was able to sit on an equal footing with himself today! He has only been admitted to Jinshi for a few years, what qualifications does he have? Moreover, he came from a humble background, it doesn't matter if he wants money or relationship, and he has been working in a trivial job... But he is desperate enough to jump into the fire pit repeatedly. During the battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the two countries were at war, and he ran to persuade them to surrender! The northwest side is in a mess, he wants to go through the barbarian territory to get a map!

Even the Deputy Privy Envoy praised him for his obvious credit. In such a position, no one can really say anything about him...

When it came to the firearms workshop, the officials and foremen hurried up to greet them.

Zan Jurun said directly: "I have to go back to the Jinxiang Palace in the afternoon to be on duty, the things are not finished, hurry up!"

When everyone heard that Jinxiang Hall was on duty, they all knew that it was the place for the court meeting, and they all respected him in awe. The foreman hurriedly asked the craftsman to lift out the basket containing several round lumps.

Zan Jurun looked at it and said, "Why is it so big? The official said it was a bomb that was thrown out to blow up, so whoever throws it for the official to see if it is so big!"

The foreman hurriedly said: "It's too small, so there's no place to stuff the gunpowder. It's very laborious to cast this thing. First cast two parts, and then cast it with molten iron; you need to use a drill to drill a hole..."

"Let's try it first." Zan Jurun said.

A group of people hurriedly hid behind the female wall on a city wall, and then asked the craftsmen to go down and prepare a long lead wire. The craftsman lit it, and ran away as soon as he saw the fuse smoke.

The officials hurriedly said: "Zan makes you be careful." They all rushed to block Zan Jurun first.

Zan Jurun stuck his face out from behind the female wall, and looked at the iron lump. After a while, there was a sudden "bang", and the flashes of fire rushed up.

The iron bump exploded into two pieces, jumped on the ground twice, and then stopped moving, leaving only white smoke.

Zan Jurun and the officials looked at each other, Zan Jurun's tone was filled with anger: "Didn't you say it can be blown into pieces?"

An official said: "We use the most brittle cast iron... Maybe the casting place is too weak."

Zan Jurun frowned and said, "Use stones next time! Hollow out the inside, fill it with gunpowder, and ram it to death with mud."

"Yes, yes, yes." Guan'er and the two kantou answered hastily.

Then everyone tried another weapon: wrought iron firecrackers.

Because the cast copper blunderbuss is thick and short, the shooting range is not good, and the effective killing is only 20 steps. If it hits the thick armor, the lead shot may not be able to penetrate it. So Guo Shao once asked to use iron to try to make the barrel.

No one can drill iron pipes out of iron rods; only forged. Hard cast iron shatters and cannot be forged; only softer wrought iron can be used.

Because of the iron lump and the bird-like appearance just now, Zan Jurun was in a low mood and was anxiously waiting for the results of the iron pipe test.

As expected... When the gunpowder exploded in the chamber, the barrel of the gun was deformed directly.

"Alas..." Zan Jurun raised his head and let out a long sigh. Heart Road: Can this thing create useful things?
