"Can you build a bird gun that doesn't fire with a fuse?"

The words behind him made Shi Yiwen and Zhao Shizhen turn around.

I saw three guests at some point on the road leading to Zhuangzi. In addition to the old man in his fifties and sixties in the middle, what attracted Shi Yiwen's attention was the two followers behind the man, one with a beard, like a rash man, the other with a goat whisker, and a smile on his face, but both had an eagle-like eyes, and their eyes were very sharp when they passed by Shi Yiwen.

This is the first time Shi Yiwen has met such a person, especially the murderous intent that has passed through this eye, which is like a general who has been through the army or a killer who has killed countless people.

But, these two people were just standing behind the old man and serving as guards.

The identity of the person in the middle is naturally even more simple. Seeing that he was still staring at him and waiting for his answer, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"What's the difficulty? It's just a slight improvement to the bird gun fire-seeking device."

"oh?"

The old man stared at Shi Yiwen and said.

“How to improve?”

Not to mention this strange old man, even Zhao Shizhen stared at Shi Yiwen curiously. Shi Yiwen, who was staring at by everyone, felt a little helpless.

I just said it casually.

"Hmph, I see, it's just a master who just talks but doesn't practice."

The bearded man snorted coldly, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not seem to be reduced. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Shi Yiwen felt that as long as he had any abnormal movement, he would definitely take action.

Take action? Take action against me?

A look of anger surged in his heart, and Shi Yiwen said coldly.

"I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you if Shi Mouyi can control it!"

After saying that, when Shi Yiwen was about to turn around and leave, the old man hurriedly bowed.

"Oh, Shi Tongzhi, it's me who took the liberty. I'm Qi Jiguang, the general of Ji Town."

Qi Jiguang!

His eyes suddenly opened, and Shi Yiwen looked at the old man in front of him who looked almost sixty years old and not astonishing. He was Qi Jiguang.

He actually captured another historical celebrity!

In addition to being surprised, Shi Yi Stationery saw the last famous general of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, and quickly bowed back to his respect.

"Shi Yiwen has met Qi Shuai."

Since he called out his official position, he must have come here deliberately. Although he didn't know his purpose, but the visitor was a guest, Shi Yiwen invited him to the village. What's more, he was a great hero in the anti-Japanese war. He should be invited to visit him even if he is reasonable.

Along the way, Qi Jiguang did not ask about the bird gun anymore. He even found out his purpose after sitting down in the hall, after the maid served tea and drank a few sips of tea.

"Shi Tongzhi, when I went to Beijing, I saw the "Jiechengxing" carriages all over the capital. Not only did I say that those four-wheeled carriages were convenient to walk in the snow, but I could take more than twenty people. It was really much more convenient than the old style and was very sensitive to transfer. After a little inquiry, I heard that Jiechengxing was Shi Tongzhi's business, so I wondered if I could buy these carriages from you to go back for use in the army."

It was actually a carriage that caused trouble, and Shi Yiwen immediately felt relieved. Not to mention that Qi Jiguang was a famous general, he was also an outstanding weapon expert and military engineer. He transformed and understood various firearms; the warships and chariots he built were large and small. Even other generals and officials of the Ming Dynasty were extremely sensitive to the application of new technologies. Whether it was bird guns or Folang machines, they were imitated as soon as they came into contact.

However, in just half a month, people came to buy a carriage. This kind of reaction was indeed unexpected by Shi Yiwen. After all, he was still wondering whether someone would write a message like "The four-wheeled carriage is really a monster."

This may be possible if it were in the late Qing Dynasty.

"This is easy to say. I wonder what kind of car Qi Shuai wants? The carriage in the city is too large and not suitable for the army. Does Qi Shuai want to carry goods or is it fast?"

"Oh, there is such a difference?"

Qi Jiguang said curiously.

"When Qi Shuai returns, the load capacity of the cargo is large. Four horses can pull up to no less than six thousand kilograms. As for the fast three horses can pull up to no less than a single riding, it can pull up to a thousand kilograms or carry a number of people."

Shi Yiwen explained with a smile that because of the carriage business, he has conducted in-depth research on carriages based on the information in the library. For example, the western carriage with a load of five tons is undoubtedly more in line with the needs of this era. First, it has a large load capacity, and secondly, it does not take a look at the road. After all, there were no highways in the area when the western region was pioneering.

"Oh, it turns out that I will order fifty cars that you said to carry goods. The other one is the same. If it is used well, I will buy more. But it is better to make it faster, so the price is naturally easy to say."

Qi Jiguang said politely.

The reason why he was so polite was not only because Shi Yiwen was a Jinyiwei Tongzhi, but more importantly, the words on the signboard of the Cheshang were not recognized by others. He had seen the imperial pen at his home and naturally recognized who the Cheshang's name came from. That's why he was so polite. This was even the reason why he visited in person. Otherwise, he might have just given a direct command in the Cheshang, where he would come to his door in person.

Shi Yiwen naturally didn't know the inside story, but Qi Jiguang's politeness made him feel good about him.

"You are kind to you, Qi Shuai. At most, I will order someone to send the carriage to Qi Shuai."

It’s just that he subcontracted the carriage. After gaining the experience of the last time, he was familiar with the “subcontracting homework” Shi Yiwen.

"I heard from Tongzhi that bird guns can be free from fuses?"

Qi Jiguang's body leaned forward slightly, revealing his interest in this matter. It is no wonder. After all, he was the number one person who praised bird guns in the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally knew the pros and cons of bird guns. The biggest disadvantage of bird guns was the fuse. On the way to Zhuangzi just now, when he heard Shi Yiwen mention that he could not use fuses, how could he not be anxious?

"It's true."

Nodded, and then Shi Yiwen explained.

"The use of a fuse is nothing more than ignition. If you find a way to use other methods to ignite the fire, you will naturally not need a fuse."

"Shi Tongzhi, this matter is indeed easy to say, but if you don't use a fuse to draw the fire, then what can you use to light the gunpowder?"

Qi Jiguang was still polite, of course, he was more curious than being polite. Compared to the carriage that was quite useful to the army, he was more concerned about the bird gun that Shi Yiwen said without a fuse.

He was curious, Zhao Shizhen was also curious, and the two subordinates who followed Qi Jiguang were also curious.

"This is simple. Shop Qi sat down and let me go out."

After saying that, Shi Yiwen got up and left the hall. When he got up and left, Qi Jiguang and others couldn't help but be surprised. After a while, when Shi Yiwen entered the room again, he saw what was in his hand clearly, and Zhao Shizhen stood up and said.
