Chapter 1793: The Focus of the 183rd Task of Hanqi Tianxia
Looking at He Lanyan, Gao Yuan smiled, reached out and patted Zhiyuan on the head, "Zhiyuan, take your brothers and sisters to play by yourself."
"Yes, father!" Gao Zhiyuan nodded, holding Mingzhi in one hand and Ning Jing in the other as they walked away. Seeing that Gao Yuan seemed to have something to say, Ye Jing'er and Ning Xin also sat over.
"I am the emperor, but I have given up all my power. Don't you feel a little disappointed?" Gao Yuan looked at the three of them and said.
He Lanyan tossed her head, and her braids were flying in the air, "I don't care!" She said carelessly: "I feel pretty good now, without those ministers chirping."
Ye Jing'er glanced at Ning Xin and said with a smile: "You have been telling us this issue a long time ago. Xin'er and I did not understand it at first, but now we have figured it out. You are right. , in this world, there has never been a dynasty that will stand forever. For thousands of years, we have watched him build tall buildings and watched his buildings collapse. Many dynasties that were once prosperous were eventually submerged in the dust of history. Do you want to change All of this, trying to establish a new system, may allow the Gao Dynasty to continue for a long time."
"This can be regarded as another form of diverting trouble to the east!" Ning Xin said with a smile: "From now on, the chief assistant has become the target of everyone's attention. The royal family without power will no longer be the target of everyone's covetousness. It is indeed better than before. Much better, history tells us that no matter how tight the power is, it cannot last. From generation to generation, royal power will eventually decline. Rather than doing this, it is better to give up earlier. "
"Actually, the royal family still has power. For example, the chief minister's position must be recognized by the royal family before it can take effect!" He Lanyan said with a smile.
"This is just a formal confirmation. In fact, as long as the Great Council passes it, the royal family can only confirm it." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "The royal family has given up power. But it is still the supreme leader of the Han Dynasty. Have you ever thought about it? What else needs to be done for the Han Dynasty? "
"What can we do now?" Ye Jing'er spread her hands.
"You forgot. Do you still have a charity fund?" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "That year we started fundraising for the first time, and we were in various places. There were also many officials, family members, and wealthy people joining?"
"But the money ran out soon." Ning Xin said.
"The money ran out quickly, which means that there are still many people in need of help in our Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty at that time did not include Da Chu, but now there is, and there will be Da Qin in the future. These two places are just afraid of poverty. "There are more people in need of help," Gao Yuandao said.
"Are we here to raise money again?" Ning Xin said.
“Charitable funds are not used like you do;
Once you get a sum of money and use it up, you should think of a way to make the money last forever. Didn't Yanzi just now say that the money can't be used up? This money seems to be a lot, but if it is really used in the right place, it may not be enough. "
Ye Jing'er thought for a while, "Brother means that we will devote more energy to charity in the future? That's right, we have nothing else to do now, and our family's business is very profitable. These There is no place to put the money, so it is better to use it to help others. In this way, the existence of our royal family can be reflected everywhere at all times, and the royal family's love for the people of the world can be reflected. This is two birds with one stone. "
"What Jing'er said is to the point, but remember, you must not just use money without making money. You should find ways to make the money you invest generate money, and then use the generated money to help others. In this way, Only then can we have a steady stream of money to continue this business rather than a one-time deal.”
"So, we still need to recruit some specialized personnel to do this. We can't do business ourselves." Ye Jing'er said thoughtfully.
"Of course, you can leave these things to Mei Pu, and you just need to use your status to help people. You want all the Han people to know you. You should not hide yourselves in the deep palace. Among them." Gao Yuan clapped his hands.
"Brother, what do you do when we do these things? Play shuttlecock with the children in the palace every day?" He Lanyan asked curiously.
"Of course I have things to do." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "I have too many things to do. Next, I am going to ask you for donations. Give me some money. I am going to build a research institute. I will do it myself. As the director of this institute, I will devote the rest of my life to this institute.”
Gao Yuan thought about the technological tree that had been planted in Han Dynasty over the years. After putting aside those worldly things, his next thought was to make the branches and leaves of this technological tree appear more lush.
The prisons in the minds of the common people of Han Dynasty have been opened. Human creativity is endless, or what they lack is just an idea, a wonderful idea, and the money to help them realize these, and these, themselves None are lacking. I don’t know how to do it, but I know countless good ideas, good ideas, and almost endless money.
"Your Majesty, Minister Ye of the Ministry of Defense would like to see you." Wu Ya walked into the courtyard and bowed. Yang Dasha worked hard to earn the position of commander of Gao Yuan's personal guards, but He Weiyuan replaced Yang Dasha as the commander of the First Army of the Young Guards.
"Why are you looking for me? If the Ministry of National Defense has something to do, go to the Political Affairs Hall and the Chief Assistant!" Gao Yuan waved his hand.
"Minister Ye said that the Fengrui Arms Workshop has finally made a breakthrough on the firearm that His Majesty has been paying attention to. This time, what he brought is the finished product of the Fengrui Arms Workshop." Wu Yidao.
"Did you really make it?" Gao Yuan suddenly stood up and said excitedly. "Let him in quickly."
Ye Zhong walked in personally holding a long box. Behind him, there was another person, who should be a technician from the sharp weapon workshop.
"Quick, bring it to me!" Gao Yuan waved impatiently.
Ye Zhong came over and put the box on the table. Gao Yuan opened the box and found something inside that made Gao Yuan feel tears filling his eyes.
This is a rifle. The wooden butt and long barrel lie quietly in the box. Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and stroked it gently, as if he was stroking his lover's body.
After the artillery was successfully developed, Gao Yuan drew the decomposition drawing of this thing and gave it to the most powerful Fengrui Weapon Workshop and the Weapons Research Institute to develop it together. Unexpectedly, the Weapons Research Institute had not yet completed it. Fengrui The Ordnance Workshop was the first to come up with it.
He picked up the gun and put the butt on his shoulder. At three o'clock and one line, Gao Yuan took a serious aim for a while, then pulled the bolt with a clatter and stretched his hand towards Ye Chong, "Where are the bullets?"
Ye Zhong stepped forward, opened the bottom of the box on the table, took out a smaller box, opened it, took out a yellow bullet from it, and handed it to Gao Yuan's hand.
Skillfully loading the bullet, he aimed high at a flower pot in the far side of the yard.
"Are the bows and arrows accurate?" He Lanyan came over and asked curiously.
"It may not be more accurate, but it will definitely save more effort. A good archer takes a long time to cultivate, but a good gunner is easy to cultivate." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
Pulling the trigger, there was a bang, and the flower pot in the distance was immediately smashed to pieces.
"How awesome!" He Lanyan's eyes widened, and the technician from the Sharp Weapon Workshop behind Ye Chong even widened his eyes. He confirmed that this was the first time His Majesty the Emperor had touched this gun, but His Majesty the Emperor's eyes widened even more. He is extremely proficient in his operating methods and is extremely accurate. Of course he didn't know that the production drawings considered top secret in the Fengrui Soldier Workshop were drawn by Gao Yuan one stroke at a time.
"What's the difficulty?" Gao Yuan put down his gun and looked at the technician behind Ye Chong.
"Your Majesty, this gun has many parts and is much more complicated to manufacture than an artillery piece. Of course, the possibility of malfunction is also greater, but these are all problems that can be solved. The only problem that cannot be solved now is the problem of rifling processing. There is no other way but to cut it by hand, which is too slow and the process cannot be unified. It all depends on the craftsman's own craftsmanship, so the quality cannot be determined," the technician said.
Gao Yuan nodded. There was no machine and it was all done by hand. The difficulty was self-evident.
"Then there are bullets. Nowadays, bullets made of brass are all made by hand, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and often has problems. This box was slowly made by several technicians over a month, and is specially for His Majesty the Emperor to inspect. Gun."
"In other words, guns cannot be mass-produced!" Gao Yuan was a little disappointed.
"Yes, even if the Ruifeng Soldier Workshop does nothing else and only makes this kind of gun, it can make up to ten guns in a month." said the technician.
Gao Yuan sighed. If this is the case, no weapons workshop will list it as a product. Anyone who tries to do it will have to go bankrupt. If the price of this gun is measured in money, it is probably tens of thousands of yuan. Can't take it off yet.
"What a pity." He put down the gun. After all, it was still a mechanical problem.
"Although it cannot be produced on a large scale, we have now made practical samples, and weapons experts from our Ministry of National Defense have confirmed its power. From now on, we will just solve the problems found." Ye Zhong was full of confidence. "As long as we know where the problem is and everyone concentrates on tackling it, we will eventually overcome it."
Ye Zhong took out a spear from the box. He had seen this kind of thing before. Gao Yuan had been wearing such a thing since his earliest days. With a click, he installed the spear into the slot in front of the barrel. "If all the infantrymen are equipped with it, they can fight both at a distance and at close quarters. Only then will our Han army be unparalleled in the world. Your Majesty, this year the Ministry of National Defense has decided to allocate a large amount of funds specifically for To carry out research on the mass production of this kind of gun, I don’t believe that no one can find a solution to the problem in a country with a population of hundreds of millions.”
"Take your time, there is no need to rush this matter!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Tell Fengrui that I will order ten bottles first, and they will not suffer a loss in terms of price." (To be continued.)
