At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 506: Inspection of Liaodong
Inside was a very finely crafted pistol, which was dark black in color.

"The people at the Industrial Manufacturing Department said it was the latest design, and the bullets were made of newly improved gunpowder, so they are small and exquisite."

The maid whispered, "If the prince is dissatisfied with anything, you can send a message back and ask them to change it."

Xiao Han picked up the money, loaded the magazine with yellow bullets, and then stuffed it in.

His body moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Is your Majesty feeling unwell?"

The maid asked with concern.

"fine."

He shook his head: "Go make a cup of tea."

"promise."

The maid turned and went to the next room.

He turned on the safety, aimed at the target outside the yard, pulled the trigger, and with a muffled sound, flames spurted out of the muzzle.

When he looked outside, he clearly saw the iron armor hanging on the dam pierced by bullets.

"Not bad."

It looked almost exactly like the pistol in his memory.

"Let's make 500 of them. By then, no one in Xiliang will be equipped with one if they have more than 10,000 cavalrymen."

He tried two more shots in succession, and both the power and feel were excellent.

"Then I'll go talk to them back."

The woman nodded.

"Go."

He waved his hand, and the two maids left the hall. Before leaving, they were very considerate and closed the door.

Xiao Han played with the pistol in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. With his strength, not to mention bullets, even cannons could not withstand the hot breath he exhaled.

However, the sense of accomplishment made him extremely comfortable, creating a technological civilization from scratch.

Reshape your hometown.

Half an hour later, Xiao Han fired another shot, and he felt extremely comfortable all over.

inside the room.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Xiao Han leaned back in his chair, calmly drinking his tea. Yuan Qingfeng sat on the recliner next to him, with his arms folded across his chest and his cheeks puffed out, looking at him angrily.

"Are you still angry?"

He chuckled.

"then."

He threw the pistol in the box over to him, and Yuan Qingfeng's eyes lit up and he caught it with a frown.

“This thing is for you.”

"But be careful."

He warned: "Don't underestimate its power when you go there. If you are in the Vajra Realm, you will be crippled if you don't die."

"What kind of hidden weapon is it? It's nothing compared to it."

"understood."

Yuan Qingfeng smiled happily and was no longer angry. He said softly, "I won't use it carelessly. After all, this is the first thing you gave me."

After saying that, he held it in his hand and gestured at the target outside.

"I heard from Sister Miaoyu a few days ago that the court publicly beheaded a spy for spreading rumors and misleading the public."

"This person seems to have reported back the disappearance of our Xiliang. The emperor today did not believe it and thought that technology was just a lie to confuse the people."

Xiao Han was not surprised at all about this.

But when the huge train was running on the railway, some people thought it was a monster, but as they saw it more and more, they got used to it.

Now, people throughout Xiliang know that this is called technology.

The people of the eleven states of Xiliang can most deeply feel the changes brought about by science and technology. After the extensive use of chemical fertilizers, the originally barren land can now grow crops.

Planting improved seeds, the harvest is twice as much as before, plus the nourishment of heaven and earth's vitality, the grain output of Xiliang states is higher year by year. The trains speeding on the railway carry boxes of goods to various places. The journey that used to take ten days or half a month now only takes one or two days or even half a day.

Gunpowder can easily blow up a mountain, the skyrocketing steel production allows everyone to use iron tools, and concrete-paved roads will never be muddy regardless of wind or rain.

In short.

This changes almost every day.

Everyone can truly feel it.

Yuan Qingfeng stood up, came closer, pursed his lips and said, "I want to practice martial arts."

Xiao Han always agreed to such requests. He immediately drew his sword and started to fight with Yuan Qingfeng.

The battle lasted for more than an hour before it ended, and the final outcome was still that Yuan Qingfeng was defeated and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Time passed day by day, spring went and autumn came, cold and heat alternated, but the construction of Xiliang showed no sign of stopping.

In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.

On the Xiliang to Liaodong highway.

A car was speeding, and the grass and trees on both sides were rapidly retreating. In the driver's seat, Xiao Han, wrapped in a black robe, held the steering wheel with one hand, Ning Xi was sitting next to him, and Miaoyu and Yuwen Yulou were sitting in the back seat.

With the car window rolled down, a fierce wind blew towards me. The road was straight and flat, and next to it was the Xiliang Highway, which was separated into two routes: the outbound and the return.

"It's unimaginable."

"It's been less than ten years, and now it's become what it is now."

Along the road, there are many villages, and these villages are no longer built with thatched huts like before, but are made of red bricks and concrete, and are clean and tidy.

In the fields, many people are busy working, and you can see many large machines turning over the fields.

There is a gas station every few dozen miles.

"The Peach Blossom Land that the ancients admired is probably not as good as the present Xiliang."

Miaoyu smiled.

"That's natural."

There was a hint of smile on Xiao Han's brows, "I said before that I want to make this world a real paradise."

“It’s now halfway done.”

Every now and then, you can see cars running on the road, some carrying heavy cargo, and some carrying people.

This time, the main purpose of the trip was to go to Liaodong County to see how the navy was being trained, especially the warships.

After completing the primary scientific and technological foundation, Xiliang's productivity has been rising steadily and the farming industry has been developing rapidly.

Although there are not many cars, many people either ride horses, take cars or take trains.

This is especially true for commercial vehicle fleets.

Every day I wait for the train at various stations.

“Three county-class steel ships have been built, and they are still on trial.”

Ning Xi said: "These three steel ships alone are enough to sweep away the entire Central Plains navy."

Although the people of Central Plains and Qingzhou called Xiao Han a monster, they still had to follow him in developing technology.

It’s just that their Kyoto is too slow, so they can only figure it out on their own based on sporadic information.

Although there were artillery pieces, they were nothing compared to the artillery pieces equipped by Xiliang.

Now, there is not only a gap between Xiliang and the Central Plains court in the number and quality of martial arts masters, but there is also a huge gulf in the strength of ordinary people.

Artillery, cars, muskets, steel ships and other things can almost easily defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Central Plains.

The two do not exist in the same dimension at all.

"Get ready."

"This time next year, our Xiliang flag will be planted all over the Central Plains."

Xiao Han raised his eyebrows.

"It's almost time to take over the world."

Ning Xi beside her nodded in agreement, and the other women also echoed her.
