Chapter 380 The Rifle Leading the World for 300 Years

After taking the county exam, he was awarded the "Certificate Leader", and Lu Li also had the status of "Tongsheng".

After getting the "Primary School Graduation Certificate", this is a serious scholar. In the Ming Dynasty, scholars were the best. This status is very social.

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

For the next period of time, Lu Li focused on the military training of Jiading and the modernization of Lujiazhuang's agriculture.

Jiading military training needless to say.

Lu Li used to work from the army recruit company, to the special forces, the air force pilot, and even an astronaut. He is not too familiar with military training.

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

Today, 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 and camping and other training subjects.

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

Of course, the army Lu Li envisioned was not a cold-weapon army, but a musket was king.

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

If possible, of course it would be best to send everyone an AK47. However, under the current industrial foundation, this is impossible to achieve, and the machining accuracy is completely unsatisfactory.

The only possible realization is the fixed-charge breech flintlock rifle.

Lu Li had been a special forces soldier, so he knew a lot about guns and ammunition. He even made gunpowder with washing powder and bombs with detergent.

Designing a gunpowder 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, gunpowder can only use black powder. Although Lu Li could produce stronger nitrocellulose smokeless gunpowder, but in the Ming Dynasty, when the chemical industry was underdeveloped, the cost of nitrocellulose gunpowder was too high to use.

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

Paper bullet casings are easier to process, make a mold, fill with pulp, and dry them to form bullet casings.

As for the ignition method, mercury mercury is not difficult. Nowadays, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty is devoted to cultivating immortals. Mercury, that is, mercury, is very rich in resources for immortal cultivation.

The Taoist priests of the Ming Dynasty are all chemical geniuses and are very proficient in the technique of refining mercury with cinnabar.

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

This is a rifle that is more than three hundred years ahead of the world.

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 if it is not raining.

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

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.

As for the production line, I also seriously studied engineering in the astronaut plot. Hydraulic power is used as power, and then it drives hydraulic forging machines, hydraulic lathes, hydraulic drilling machines...

Lying in a groove! 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 the special forces training, repairing cars and tanks, even helicopter repairs, fighter aircraft repairs, and... In order to have the ability to repair spacecraft in an emergency, Lu Li also seriously studied mechanical principles.

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

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. It is still possible to make some local machines...

That is to say, in addition to building agricultural modernization in Daming, I also want an industrial modernization project?

Lu Li shook his head helplessly and could only walk step by step.

Plan first.

With the goal of creating a new type of rifle, Lu Li compiled a series of work plans from metallurgy to final processing.

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

In March, when spring returns to the earth, Lujiazhuang begins to carry out vigorous agricultural modernization construction.

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 cows that Lu Li brought out also played a huge role.

The huge and powerful white-limbed cow pulled the plow through the fields, turned over the thick soil, and walked with ease and 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.)

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

Men farm the fields, while women and children, under the leadership of Xinger Lianer and others, raise chickens, ducks, geese and pigs.

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

The whole Lujiazhuang was full of laughter and joy. People put great enthusiasm and hope in spring farming.

Lu Li did not intervene in the production of spring ploughing. Those who have been enlightened are all experts, and there is no need to leave.

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 an all-rounder, and the command is round and round.

The problem of 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 were friends who had "shared the dirt together", so they were easy to talk to.

Moreover, Lu Li was born in a famous family, and he took the county examination case. Commander Liu and Tong Zhilin did not hesitate to give strong support to Lu Li's request for a craftsman.

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 them.

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

The first is to build a waterwheel. Along the bank 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 find that the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty... was not bad!

Although they don't know much theory, 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, the weights and measures of later generations were fully popularized and the measurement standards were unified.

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, and then the furnace can be opened to make iron.

April was the period for the government test. Lu Li arranged for coking and beneficiation, but he had to rush to Songjiang to participate in the government test.

During this period of time, although Lu Li was very busy, he still found time to read every day.

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

The government test went well.

Although I wasn't lucky enough to come across the Baguwen I had read, with Lu Li's knowledge, I was able to write a decent article.

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

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

Yuan Zhi County, Huating County, has some regrets about this.

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

"Zi Ming, your essay on the academy exam is indeed much worse than the essay on the county exam."

Yuan Zhixian talked with Lu Li in the back office, and felt very sorry for Lu Li's "disorderly performance".

"The Sixth Yuan Chief has never seen such a thing in history!"

Lu Li smiled and replied, "Actually, I don't really care whether it's the junior three yuan or the big three yuan."

"With your knowledge, it's a pity that you are not connected to the middle school."

Yuan Zhixian sighed and shook his head, and then said to Lu Li, "By the way, a few days ago, Beijing issued an article to give a reward for the last extermination of Japanese pirates."

"Oh?"

Lu Li smiled, and bowed his hands to Yuan Zhixian, "Then congratulations to Sir Yuan for his promotion."

"Relocating to the position of Tongzhi in Suzhou is considered a promotion!"

Yuan Zhixian shook his head, and took out another document and handed it to Lu Li, "This is your reward. But... it's a bit humiliating to Ziming."

Humiliated?

Lu Li frowned, reached out to take the document, 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 Households did not really want Lu Li to go to Jinshanwei to be the Hundred Household Officials, but a false title that would allow Lu Li to receive the salary and money of the Hundred Household Officials.

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

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

Some of the next actions, such as making guns, would not be easy 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!"

Having said that, Yuan Zhixian looked at Lu Li again, "By the way, Ziming, it is said that...you are building construction in Lujiazhuang? Besides, your spring ploughing and planting have been completed?"

"Agriculture is the foundation of all industries. Lu Jiageng is studying heirlooms and attaches more importance to spring ploughing."

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

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

Yuan Zhixian sighed, "Unfortunately... Old Yan Ge doesn't understand this truth. The decree to convert fields into mulberries in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is still forcibly pushing forward. I'm afraid your land will not be able to grow anymore!"

"Isn't there still a dispute between the DPRK and China regarding the decree to change the field to Sang?"

The decree to change Tian to Sang, although it was to collect funds for Jiajing to cultivate immortals, 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 resisting it, and the progress of implementation is very small.

"This official is about to be relocated to Suzhou Prefecture, and Zhang Zhiliang, who took over as the magistrate of Huating County, is a strict party."

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

Understood!

After Zhang Zhiliang, the new magistrate of Huating County, took office, he will definitely push the decree of changing fields to mulberry by any means possible.

What's more, the crops can't be planted anymore.

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

Lu Xin didn't know what it was like, sighed, left, and returned to Lujiazhuang.

It is now April.

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

Such a prosperous pastoral scene, the budding agricultural modernization construction, is it about to die?

I will never allow it!

Lu Li clenched his fists, his eyes became cold.

You have already killed the Wang family, can't you kill a seventh-rank sesame official? Dare to make trouble, I will kill you!

...

In the next few days, the person who passed the decree came to Lujiazhuang.

Because of the principle of "kindness comes from above", the award to Lu Li was nominally the emperor's will. However, Jiajing probably doesn't even know who Lu Li is.

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

In addition to the reward of 100 taels of silver, the official of the Hundred Households with the false title has complete procedures, along with the official post, as well as the waist badge, armour and official uniform, which are very neatly arranged.

For the people of Lujiazhuang, Lu Li was appointed an official by the emperor, which was a great joy.

However, such a scholarly family member of the Lu family naturally does not look down on the officials of the Hundred Households.

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

Jinshanwei Hundred Household Officials? 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 actions are much more convenient.

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

This is a good thing.
