Looking at Liu Deng¡¯s tired look, Shunzi responded and hurriedly retreated.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"
A few moments later, Cai Xin came to Liu Deng's study in a hurry.
"How is your research on artillery? Have you made any breakthroughs in the past two days?"
After Liu Deng asked him to sit down, he was served tea, and then he asked.
"There is still no good solution now, we are still trying"
When she said this, Cai Xin was really ashamed. In just a few days, she had spent tens of thousands of dollars, but she had gained nothing.
"If I give you three days, can you possibly make a pure copper cannon?"
Liu Deng said with a frown.
"It is possible, and it can guarantee that at least ten rounds will be fired, and the chamber will definitely not explode within ten rounds! It's just that the cost of this thing is too expensive, and it has no practical significance at all"
There is certainly no problem with the performance of a cannon made of pure copper. The only problem is that the cost of making this thing is too high!
A piece of artillery can easily weigh tens of thousands of pounds. If converted into money, it would be at least fifty or sixty thousand pounds.
If this thing were to be equipped on a large scale, even Liu Deng would not be able to afford the expense.
"Don't be afraid of spending money. I need a heavy cannon that can shoot more than five miles. Can you complete it in three days?"
Liu Deng looked at Cai Xin seriously. Sooner or later, this thing will be exposed, and as long as he can keep the secret of gunpowder secret, they can't make it even if they give the drawings to the Huns!
¡°Besides, with the Huns¡¯ national strength, if they really wanted to build artillery, they would fall into Liu Deng¡¯s trap.
The fighting methods of the Huns and the Han Dynasty are completely different. All the Huns are cavalry, so they can come and go like the wind, erratic.
But once they carry such heavy artillery, their traveling speed must slow down.
If this happens, their biggest advantage will be gone.
As for the three countries of Nanyue, Dongou and Minyue, Liu Deng has now started personnel training.
Attracting their attention to artillery and shipbuilding will be of great benefit to Liu Deng¡¯s next plan.
So after Liu Deng thought about it, he decided to use this thing that was still in the experimental stage to shock people.
"No!"
Cai Xin doesn¡¯t know what Liu Deng is thinking, but he has an advantage. As long as Liu Deng can do it, he will never ask more questions about the reason.
"In that case, I will be waiting for your good news in three days!"
"No!"
Cai Xin responded, then turned around and went out.
Liu Deng then returned to his dormitory and was about to leave again, and it was already the end of October.
After entering Beijing this time, it is estimated that it will be the first month before he comes back, and Liu Deng feels really uneasy.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Liu Deng¡¯s tired look, Liu Ruyan quietly came up and stretched out his hand to help Liu Deng press the temples on his head
"You tidy up in the past two days, and this time go to Beijing with me!"
Liu Deng said in a low voice with his eyes closed.
"Slave"
When she thought of staying and flying together with Liu Deng, Liu Ruyan felt like she was dreaming.
"But she was a little scared in her heart. She really didn't know what kind of woman the queen she had never met was
After all, she came from a humble background, and she was really afraid that the queen would be difficult to get along with
"I know what you are thinking. In the final analysis, I am sorry for you. This kind of thing should be done wholeheartedly, but I am too greedy"
Liu Deng¡¯s voice was very calm, but these simple words made Liu Ruyan¡¯s eyes feel a little red
"Your Majesty, I will follow you to the capital"
After carefully wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Liu Ruyan said firmly.
Asking herself, she sees quite a lot of men in this world, especially those noble sons from aristocratic families.
Including Liu Yishui, there are indeed many people who look better than Liu Deng in terms of appearance. However, women have always been just playthings in their eyes.
Where will there be a person who asks Liu Deng?How to respect her so much
In the huge palace, only Liu Ruyan and Liu Deng were left.
Liu Deng reached out and held Liu Ruyan's hand, and took her into his arms somewhat roughly.
"Don't move, I'm a little tired, let me rest for a while"
Liu Ruyan was originally worried about Liu Deng¡¯s next move, but unexpectedly Liu Deng simply hugged her and closed his eyes
Her somewhat stiff body slowly softened. Feeling Liu Deng's gentle breathing behind her, Liu Ruyan was immersed in happiness
"In this life, if you get a son-in-law like this, what else can you ask for?"
By the time Liu Deng opened his eyes again, the sun had already set.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Chao is ill"
Liu Deng had just stepped out of the palace and came to report with a strange look on his face.
"sick?"
Liu Deng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Chao Cuo was really being very cautious when doing things now.
"In this case, let's ask the imperial doctor to go over and give you a good look, and tell the imperial doctor that Master Chao has had a hard journey all the way. He must have become ill from overwork, and it will take him two or three days to recover!"
Liu Deng¡¯s mouth showed a smile, then he patted Shunzi on the shoulder and said.
"No"
Shunzi is a straight person after all and doesn¡¯t quite understand what Liu Deng means.
Although he had some doubts, he still turned around and went to find the imperial doctor.
Since Chao Cuo is ill, the matter of catching the wind will naturally be avoided.
Liu Deng simply returned to his study room again and wrote down several things he wanted to do next one by one.
Liu Deng could only leave all the problems of sweet potato promotion and storage to Chen Qi to prepare.
Fortunately, it will snow soon. Judging from the situation this year, the Huns should not be able to worry about invading the other side.
As for the issue of the Prime Minister, at this time, Liu Deng can only hope that he can communicate smoothly with the emperor, and then push Feng Jing up.
The third day of November is a good time to travel.
Chao Cuo, who had been ill for three days, finally got up today.
Fortunately, Liu Deng is finally ready.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
"Since Mr. Chao is already well, I think we should get up and set off today! Your Majesty must be waiting impatiently!"
"What the king is saying is that I'm just too weak and it's causing trouble for the king!"
Chao Cuo also raised his hand towards Liu Deng and said.
"What did you say, sir? How can a person eat whole grains without getting sick? Everything is ready here, let's set off now!"
"Your Majesty, please!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
