Chapter 105: Action (Part 2)
At Ningguo Mansion, Shen Ning finally saw the finished wooden spear.
Click~ Press the trigger, and after a slight sound, the wooden wheel turns a little.
Open the wooden gun, the hole for filling powder and the barrel are in line.
Very good, it worked.
Shen Ning was extremely satisfied.
You really can't blame her. This is the only gun she had taken apart with her friends. As for the other toy guns... they can only provide an idea. Anything more... she really can't think of.
"Grandma, let me play for a while."
In Ning'an Hall, Jia Rong was itching to do something.
"Want to play? Make your own."
Shen Ning pointed to the pile of wooden parts.
Shen Judao made four guns.
But the one in her hand was already assembled.
Jia Rong didn't have time to talk nonsense, and he quickly assembled the gun according to the blueprint.
Shen Judao only closed his eyes for a short while last night. He disassembled and reassembled the gun so many times that he didn't know how many times he had done it.
The wood he chose at first yesterday was totally unacceptable, so in the end it was Uncle Jiao who helped him try several kinds of wood and finally chose pear wood.
This wood is hard and yet somewhat tough, and will not break easily.
Click~Click~The sound of parts coming together rang out one after another, and finally, not a single one was broken.
Click~ Another sound, Rong Ge'er also pressed the trigger, and sure enough, the hole in the wheel and the barrel were also consistent, "Success."
Rong Ge'er's eyes sparkled with excitement, "Grandma, we succeeded."
“…Not necessarily.”
Jiao Da participated in the manufacturing process, so he considered a lot. "The wheel can hold six bullets, which puts too many restrictions on materials. If one bullet is not good, the other five bullets will also be hit and explode."
"Then change from breech-loading to single-shot."
There is nothing that cannot be solved.
If you can't solve the material problem, then simplify it.
Shen Ning said: "The breech-loading is better than the muzzle-loading anyway."
"That's what my wife said."
Jiao Da said to Shen Judao, "Listen to my wife, and make four more guns that fire from the breech and only fire one bullet."
"……yes!"
The wife clearly didn’t say that.
Shen Judao secretly glanced at Shen Ning, but found that she had no objection, so he quickly agreed. Now that he had experience, he could make it early tomorrow morning. "
"No need to rush."
Shen Ning said, "Just hand it over the day after tomorrow. Considering the material problem, you can also lengthen the barrel a bit. You can make two more of different lengths. As long as they can be assembled together, it will be fine."
Anyway, she provides the ideas, and the rest is up to the gun-making masters to make it themselves based on the materials.
After all, professional things should be done by professionals.
"……yes!"
Shen Judao nodded vigorously.
After leaving Ning'an Hall, Jia Rong couldn't hide his excitement, "Grandma, your method of making the parts interchangeable is really great."
Shen Ning: “…”
She looked back at the boy and felt that he was smarter than she had originally thought. "What's good about that?"
"Reduce the casualties."
Jia Rong smiled, "A few broken guns can be reassembled into a new one, which can save a lot of trouble in the future."
“…”
Shen Ning smiled slowly, "I hope so!" She suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what did your Grandpa Zhenger want to talk to you about?"
"Nothing, just asking me to recite a few passages and write a big character in front of him."
Rong Ge'er was speechless. "He also taught me to listen to the teacher and that my handwriting is not good enough and I should be more focused in the future. He also gave me a calligraphy sticker."
Shen Ning: “…”
"Grandma, aren't you going to ask about Dai Zi? I asked my uncle today, and he said he would go to the Ministry to ask about it tomorrow."
“Good job!”
Shen Ning was very satisfied. "I'll come to you next time. If you say something is right, we'll listen to you. If you say something is wrong..."
"Once Aunt Yuanchun gets married and that incident is exposed, Uncle probably won't look for me anymore."
Rong Ge'er is very busy every day.
He had to do his homework, practice martial arts, and also find time to copy the three books he promised his grandmother.
He also wants to play with his aunt for a while every day.
The little aunt is getting cuter and cuter, and Rong Ge loves her very much.
"Grandma, our husband is very good."
He really didn't want to waste time with his uncle.
"Okay! Whatever you say."
Shen Ning is an open-minded parent.
Moreover, she felt that Jia Zheng was too stupid and it would be better for him to be like Jia She and stay at home instead of going out often.
It's too easy to get scammed when you go out.
"Grandma, you can let me do things like picking people up outside the capital in the future."
Rong Ge'er added: "Our teacher said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."
"Want to travel thousands of miles?"
Shen Ning smiled, "That's easy. When your husband wants to travel thousands of miles, you can tell him that your grandmother will pay for the travel expenses. From now on, every three years, the Jia family can have a one to three month study tour."
Ah? Rong Ge'er jumped up, "Really?"
"When did your grandmother ever lie to you?"
"Wow, wow, grandma, you are so kind."
Rong Ge'er was so happy that he wanted to run to the school immediately to report the good news to the two teachers.
At this time, Jia Min and his party rested for a while on the official road from Cangzhou to Tianjin. Seeing the caravan chasing them, they walked forward for nearly ten miles and finally encountered an ambush.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~ Seeing the flag signal waving by Li Haifeng from afar, Baoyan Lao San and others did not rashly pick up swords and went straight up to chop.
In terms of numbers, the capable guards and servants of the Jia and Lin families, plus the escorts of the Fuwei Escort Agency, already outnumber them by more than twice as much.
But who are they? They were rampant in Jiangnan during the early Ming Dynasty.
What we do is a job that is as dangerous as walking on the edge of a knife.
A group of ordinary people who have rarely seen blood, one of them can deal with ten.
However, considering that the Jia family had influence in the army, Baoyan Lao San and others looked up to them and launched a wave of arrows at them from the corner.
The three escorts walking in front lost their fighting power on the spot.
In just a hundred breaths, two people from the Lin and Jia families died and seven were injured.
"Who is this person in front of me? I am Jia Lian from Rongguo Mansion!"
When Jia Lian shouted loudly, the fortifications had been completed and all the carriages loaded with gifts were pushed to the front.
Jia Min's carriage was protected in the middle by everyone.
"If there's anything, we can talk about it. I, Jia Lian, will never hesitate to show my filial respect. But... if you're here for your life, then let's see if you can get away with it!"
Treating him as a soft persimmon is a dream! Although the caravan behind has arrived, Jia Lian also knows how many people they have.
At least in terms of numbers, even though they have suffered casualties, they still have the strength to fight.
Jia Lian hoped that after he reported the Rongguo Mansion, someone else would hear it and report the case to the authorities.
But he never expected that after he shouted these words, the killing would start again.
"Second Master, brothers, come and kill them!"
Lin Zhixiao shouted loudly.
