Chapter 380 The Rifle Leading the World for 300 Years

After passing the county test, he won the "case", Lu Li Also has the identity of "children".

Got the "Primary School Graduation Certificate", this is a serious scholar. In the Ming Dynasty, scholar was the High Level person. This status is very social.

For Lu Li, all he needs is this social status.

In the next period of time, Lu Li will focus on the military training of Jiading and the agricultural modernization of Lu Family Village.

It goes without saying that Jiading military training.

Lu Li has worked from the army recruit company to the special forces, air force pilots, and even astronauts. He is not too familiar with military training.

In the underworld plot, Lu Li also personally organized a military training.

Nowadays, the military training of these 20 servants includes physical training, formation training, unarmed combat training, cold weapon combat training, riding training, as well as military discipline, military discipline, marching camp and other training subjects. .

At the same time as these trainings, Lu Li also taught the tutors literacy, basic mathematics, military cartography, military meteorology, health and epidemic prevention and other military science knowledge.

The army envisioned by Lu Li is of course not a cold-weapon army, but a musket is king.

During this time, Lu Li was also designing the required muskets.

If possible, it would be best to give everyone an AK47. However, under today's industrial foundation, this is impossible to achieve, and the machining accuracy is completely unsatisfactory.

The only thing that was possible was a powder breech flintlock rifle.

Lu Li is a former special forces soldier, so he knows a lot about firearms and ammunition. He even makes gunpowder with washing powder and bombs with detergent easily.

Designing a powder breech flintlock rifle was not difficult for Lu Li. The difficulty is how to mass-produce breech flintlock rifles at low cost under existing industrial conditions.

First of all, the gunpowder can only use black powder. Although Lu Li can make stronger nitrocellulose smokeless gunpowder, but...the Ming Dynasty when the chemical industry was underdeveloped, the cost of nitrocellulose gunpowder was too high to be used.

Secondly, it is definitely impossible to use metal cartridges for fixed-load gunpowder, and the processing technology cannot keep up with it.

Paper shells are easier to process, make a mold, pour pulp, and dry to make shells.

As for the ignition method, it is not difficult for mercury mercury. Now the Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty is devoted to cultivation, and mercury, that is, mercury, is very rich in cultivation resources.

The technique of smelting mercury with cinnabar, the Taoists of the Ming Dynasty are all geniuses in chemistry and are very proficient in this.

Based on these preconditions, Lu Li designed a striker-type mercury-fired breech-loading rifle.

This is a rifle that has been leading the world for more than 300 years.

As long as the paper cartridge bullets are not soaked in water, the mercury ignition method can ensure normal firing, and the gun will not be fired when it rains.

However, the structure of this rifle is much more complicated than the current matchlock gun, and the requirements for steel are quite high.

So, why do I have to create a metallurgical process first, and then create a production line for rifles and cardboard bullets?

Should be able to do it, right?

Metallurgy... When I was studying sculpture, I still seriously studied metal materials.

In the case of the production line, I also seriously studied engineering in the astronaut plot. Hydraulic power is used as power, and then it drives a hydraulic forging machine, a hydraulic lathe, a hydraulic drilling machine...

I'm in a trough! I especially have to design the waterwheel first, the forging machine, the lathe, and the drilling machine.

Lu Li scratched his hair, only to feel... his head hurts!

It's not that it can't be designed. In the astronaut plot, Lu Li learned a lot.

In special forces training, repairing cars and tanks, and even helicopter repairs, fighter aircraft repairs, and... In order to have the ability to repair spacecraft in an emergency, Lu Li also studied mechanics carefully.

During this process, Lu Li also operated machines such as lathes and drills.

I have personally operated the machine and understand the mechanical principle. According to the current actual situation, it is possible to make simple and simple things according to local conditions.

In other words, in addition to building agricultural modernization in Daming, I also want an industrial modernization project?

Lu Li reluctantly called the head and could only walk step by step.

Plan first.

Lu Li wrote a series of work plans from metallurgy to final machining with the goal of creating a new rifle.

After a month passed, Lu Li's industrial plan finally came out.

In March, when spring returns to the earth, Lu Family Village begins its vigorous agricultural modernization construction.

The spring ploughing production went well.

Under the inspiration of Lu Li, a group of planting and breeding experts led the tenant farmers to do a good job.

The hundred white-limbed cattle that Lu Li produced also played a huge role.

The huge and powerful white-limbed cow pulls the plow through the fields, digs through the thick soil, and walks with ease.

Hybrid rice, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes... all kinds of crops have been planted.

(It is mentioned here that the reason why hybrid rice cannot be bred is completely artificially restricted. Now these rice seeds can be bred by themselves.)

Some mountainous areas that are not suitable for farming , In addition to planting sweet potatoes, also planted a large piece of alfalfa. This is excellent fodder, suitable for raising livestock and even war horses.

The men farmed the fields, while the women and children, led by Xinger Lianer and the others, raised chickens, ducks, geese and pigs.

Flocks of chickens, ducks and geese rushed into the swamp in the early morning and returned to the cage in the evening.

The whole Lu Family Village is full of happy laughter and cheerful voices. People put great enthusiasm and hope in spring farming.

Lu Li did not interfere in the spring ploughing. Those who have been enlightened are all experts, and they don't need Lu Li to care.

Lu Li's energy is mainly on "industrial modernization".

The servants, who received military training under Lu Li, have been used by Lu Li as a generalist, and the commander turns around.

Lack of Ming Dynasty craftsmen was solved by Lu Li from Jinshanwei.

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were all craftsmen. These craftsmen, blacksmiths and carpenters, Jinshanwei are equipped with many.

Lu Li, Commander Jin Shanwei and Qianhu Tong Zhilin are all friends who have "divided the dirt together" and are naturally easy to talk to.

In addition, Lu Li was born in a famous family, and he took the county examination. Commander Liu and Tong Zhilin gave strong support to Lu Li's requirement of a craftsman, without the slightest hesitation.

Jin Shanwei's starving craftsmen's families were overjoyed when they learned that Lu Li wanted to invite them to work and give them money and food. Hundreds of people rushed to the scene.

With these professionals, Lu Li's "industrial modernization" process has been greatly accelerated.

The first is to build a waterwheel. Along the banks of the Jing River, Lu Li erected ten huge waterwheels in a row.

The workshops on the shore are also built one by one with the efforts of the craftsmen.

In the process of work, Lu Li was surprised to discover that the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty...is not bad!

Although they don't know much theories, and they don't even know how to read, but they actually have a good foundation in geometry and mathematics.

Lu Li took the opportunity to take out the weights and measures of later generations. In industrial construction, he fully popularized the weights and measures of later generations and unified the measurement standards.

After all...the unit conversion of the Ming Dynasty often confused Lu Li.

Another month passed. At the beginning of April, Lu Li's "Jinghe Industrial Zone" finally took shape.

The first hydraulically driven forging machine was born.

The first water powered blower was born.

The first iron-smelting blast furnace was built.

And then... it's gone!

Next, coking and beneficiation are required before the furnace can be opened to make iron.

April is the period for the government test. Lu Li arranged for someone to prepare coking and beneficiation, but he has to rush to Songjiang to participate in the government test.

Although Lu Li has been very busy, he still finds time to read every day.

The identity of a scholar cannot be less, and at least one must have the title of a scholar. Otherwise, in the social environment of Daming, if you are not a scholar, you will not be able to stand up.

The government exam went well.

Although I didn't have good luck to come across the Baguwen I have read, with Lu Li's knowledge, I can write a decent article.

This time, Lu Li only got the tenth place in the government test, and missed the office.

Lu Li doesn't care about this, as long as he can pass the test, he doesn't care about the ranking at all.

Yuanzhi County, Huating County, has some regrets about this.

When Lu Li returned to Huating from Songjiang Prefecture, Yuan Zhixian sent someone to invite Lu Li to meet at the Yamen.

"Ziming, your essay in the academy exam is indeed much worse than the essay in the county exam."

Yuan Zhixian talked with Lu Li in the Houya, yes It's a pity for Lu Li's "misplay".

“I’ve never seen such a thing as the head of the Sixth Yuan in history!”

Lu Li laughed and replied: “Actually, whether it’s a junior three yuan or a big three yuan, I don't even care about it."

"With your knowledge, it's a pity that you didn't even get the third grade."

Yuan Zhixian sighed and looked at the head, and then said to Lu Li: " By the way, a few days ago, Jingli issued an article, giving a reward for the last time to eliminate the Japanese pirates."

"oh?"

Lu Li laughed and surrendered to Yuan Zhixian. A ceremony, "Then congratulations to Mr. Yuan for his high promotion."

"Relocated to the position of Tongzhi in Suzhou, it is considered to be promoted to Grade 1!"

Yuan Zhixian called the head, and again He took out a document and handed it to Lu Li, "This is your reward. But... a little humiliating to Ziming."

Humiliated?

Lu Li frowned, reached out to take the paperwork, and flipped through it.

Aside from those messy compliments, the actual benefit is to reward one hundred taels of silver, one piece of brocade, and the title of one hundred households of Jinshanwei.

This Jinshanwei Hundred Household does not really want Lu Li to go to Jinshanwei to be the Hundred Household Official, but a false title that allows Lu Li to receive the salary of the Hundred Household Official.

In the Ming Dynasty, the era of nobles and nobles, this kind of false title is a kind of humiliation for scholar.

However, Lu Li was so happy about this that he was so sleepy that someone brought a pillow.

The next actions, such as making guns, would be difficult to operate without this virtual title.

"The official will will be issued in a few days."

Yuan Zhixian sighed, "This kind of false title will not affect Ziming's imperial examination, don't worry!"

p>

Speaking of this, Yuan Zhixian looked towards Lu Li again, "By the way, Ziming, it is said that...you are building construction in the Lu Family Village? Besides, your spring ploughing and planting have been completed?"

"Agriculture is the foundation of all industries. The Lu Family cultivates and studies family heirlooms, and attaches great importance to spring farming."

Lu Li didn't know why Yuan Zhixian mentioned this, but just answered casually.

"Yeah! Agriculture is the foundation of every industry!"

Yuan Zhixian sighed, "Unfortunately... Mr. Yan Ge doesn't understand this truth. It is still forcibly pushed. I am afraid that your land will not continue to grow!”

“Isn’t the imperial court still controversial about the decree to change the field to mulberry?”

Change the field to mulberry Although the decree was to collect cultivation funds for Jiajing, Jiajing did not issue an imperial decree, which also means that Yan Ge will be blamed.

It has been a few months since Yan Ge's decree was issued, and there are still many places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang boycotting it, and the implementation progress is very small.

"This official is about to move to Suzhou Prefecture, and Zhang Zhiliang, who succeeded Huating County magistrate, is a strict party."

Yuan magistrate sighed, "So...you understand!"

Got it!

After Zhang Zhiliang, the new magistrate of Huating County, took office, he will definitely promote the decree of changing fields to mulberry by fair means or foul.

What's the matter?

In this way, Daming will be finished sooner or later... Well, after more than 80 years, Daming will be finished.

Lu Li didn't know what it was like, sighed, left and returned to Lu Family Village.

It is now April.

In the rice field, the seedlings of jade green swayed in the wind, and the sturdy corn on the dry land had grown more than a foot high. There are also potato seedlings, sweet potato vines, and alfalfa grass all over the mountains...

With such a prosperous pastoral scene, will the budding agricultural modernization construction just die?

I will never allow it!

Lu Li squeezed his fists and his eyes became cold.

I have already killed the Wang Family, can't I kill a Grade 7 Sesame Officer? Dare to make trouble, I will kill you!

......

In the next few days, the person who passed the decree came to Lu Family Village.

Because of the principle of "graciousness comes from above", the award to Lu Li was nominally the emperor's will. However, Jiajing may not even know who Lu Li is.

He led the family to set the incense table, accepted the imperial edict, and received a reward.

In addition to the reward of 100 silver tael, the falsely titled 100-household official had complete procedures, along with the official post, as well as the wast token, armour and official uniform, all arranged very neatly.

For the common people of Lu Family Village, it is a great joy that Lu Li was appointed by the emperor.

However, a scholarly family like the Lu Family naturally doesn't look down on a hundred officials.

Even the old man asked if it would affect the imperial examination. After learning that it would not affect the imperial examinations, he didn't take it seriously.

A hundred household officials of Jinshan Wei? Life is not as good as that of the slightly wealthier landlords in the township!

Lu Li was very satisfied with this Hundred Household Official.

With the status of military attache, Lu Li's affairs are much more convenient.

At least iron smelting and training will have a legitimate name, and will not be easily charged with rebellion.

This is a good thing.
