“My son understands.”
"Your sister is getting on in years, you should hurry up too."
"Yes, Father."
After encountering the robbers that day, Kangxi took Youqing directly to the firearms camp the next day. They set off in the morning and arrived in the afternoon. After spending the night there, the musket drills began the next morning.
Thanks to Dai Zi's improvements, the modern musket can now fire twenty rounds in succession, unlike before when a new bullet had to be loaded after each shot was fired.
This is much more convenient to use.
It is less strenuous to use than a bow and arrow, and it is easier to aim accurately. Tests have also shown that its lethality is stronger than that of a bow and arrow.
In short, apart from being more expensive to manufacture than bows and arrows, it is better than bows and arrows in every other respect.
Emperor Kangxi was very satisfied. As for the price, there were various metal ores available, so large-scale production of parts was not a problem, and the cost would only decrease in the future.
The exercise was a great success.
"Minister Dai, you have made excellent improvements to the musket. I am very pleased."
"It is all what this humble subject should do."
Emperor Kangxi was pleased, and those who pleased him naturally received many rewards. Sure enough, Dai Zi was quickly promoted, but this promotion was kept secret and could not be publicized for the time being. Emperor Kangxi was also generous with the rewards in gold and silver.
Dai Zi was genuinely pleased with Kangxi's high regard for him. He did these things partly out of interest, and partly to seek fame and fortune. If he did well, he would gain both fame and fortune, and he would be happy!
At noon, Emperor Kangxi held a victory celebration banquet at the firearms camp. In the military camp, drinking was an inevitable part of the celebration.
Originally, Youqing was just a figurehead. But since she was always by Kangxi's side and was even called "Teacher" by him, everyone felt that she must be someone important. So, when the drunken crowd started toasting Youqing, they did so.
It's not impossible if you don't want to drink, or you can pour the wine into the farm, but looking at these people's sincere and cheerful smiles, Youqing drank it in a daze.
In the blink of an eye, when Kangxi found her, Youqing's face was already flushed.
Emperor Kangxi frowned upon seeing this: "How much did they drink?"
Youqing was already dizzy and couldn't answer him.
When the people offering toasts saw Kangxi come over and help the two of them up, they no longer dared to approach them.
