Chapter 349: Breaking the Record (Second Update)

The first person who couldn't hold it last night was Zhu Chunchen, the former Duke of Chengguo, who had been in prison for two months, and his body was weak, and he only suffered more than 2,200 knives, so he went to see the king of Hades.

However, even if he died, he still had to appear on the execution ground together, and in the afternoon, Li Yunkui held up 3,100 knives and was silent.

In the entire execution ground, only Qi Zanyuan, the commander of the horses, was still dying.

It may be that this guy walks south and north every day, eats a lot of good exercise, and has no meat left when he is chopped off, but his vigorous vitality is still alive.

I even heard from the official that this guy had eaten two bowls of porridge the night before.

"Three thousand three hundred knives!" The official of the criminal department on the side shouted.

Since it was already the third day, the people had already lost sight of how many knives they had cut, but fortunately, the Criminal Department recorded it at the same time and reported it to the surrounding onlookers.

"Grandpa Guo, you're here!" Seeing that Liu Honggradually came to the execution site again in a gorgeous costume to guide the work.

The prison officers of this criminal department were already drowsy, and immediately came to their senses.

"Well, come and see, it's been three days, why isn't it over?" Liu Hong gradually looked at the execution ground and frowned.

"My lord, this is in a hurry, it's about to break the record!" The official looked extraordinarily proud.

After all, more than a hundred years have passed, if the person in front of him can hold down another hundred knives, then the record left by Liu Jin will be broken, and it is likely that there will even be no one to come.

As a witness, this official is still very concerned.

"Yo, my countryman wants to go in and see which guy is so capable of carrying it!" Liu Hong gradually descended from the execution table and walked towards the place of execution.

"My lord, be cautious, the scene is a bit bloody...... " The criminal department official hurriedly reminded with a bitter face.

As a lower-level official, if Liu Hong wants to go, he must accompany him.

"Three thousand three hundred and sixty knives!" The official shouted.

Qi Zanyuan's face has no flesh and skin, only three holes in the mouth, nose and eyes remain, and his neck has not been operated too much due to too many arteries and blood vessels.

In addition to the large blood vessels, only the bones of the limbs were chopped off, and Bai Sensen's bones were exposed, like skeleton specimens in medical schools.

At this moment, the old man who was executed was staring at Qi Zanyuan's abdomen with all his attention, because at this point, only the abdomen could still be stabbed.

And there are many organs in the abdomen, which can be fatal if you are not careful, and if you die, everything is meaningless!

"Three thousand three hundred and eighty knives!"

Qi Zanyuan, who had turned into a skeleton of bones, was motionless and tied to the pillar, if it weren't for the fact that his heart was still trembling, Liu Hong would have thought that this guy was dead.

"Three thousand four hundred knives!" The official was also a little excited.

"Grandpa Guo, I have broken the record of my dynasty!" The prisoner covered his mouth and nose that was almost disgusting, and whispered.

"It's boring! Gone big mallet! Liu Hong gradually showed an embarrassed but polite smile.

Although it looks very scary, Liu Hong gradually came out of the sea of blood, what kind of battle has not been seen, but I feel that it is a waste of time to chop one person for three days.

Qi Zanyuan finally held up 3,580 knives, and as an executioner, the veteran craftsman received 2,000 taels of silver.

This is undoubtedly a big windfall for the old man who has lived by cutting people all his life, but when the old man left, he left with regrets.

He had slashed nearly a hundred prisoners in his lifetime, and no one had ever been able to hold up to 3,000 knives before, and today he was only twenty knives away from the peak of his life.

Twenty knives, he will become the first executioner in the history of Ling Chi's punishment to cut 3,600 knives to complete the task, which is really a great regret in life!

After coming out of the execution ground, Liu Hong gradually went to the ordnance station.

As a result of the addition of a rifled gun production line, the ordnance depot had to be further expanded, the eastern courtyard wall was torn down, and a new rifled gun workshop was built.

The workshops are full of people.

"My lord, at present, our ordnance institute has produced a total of 158,600 guns, of which more than 120,000 have been equipped to the nine sides and the Beijing camp, and 20,000 have been transported to the Qin generals in the southwest.

At present, there are still nearly 20,000 guns in the workshop, but the military department has placed orders one after another, but the silver from the household department will not be shipped until tonight, and this batch of guns will be shipped to Jiubian from tomorrow. ”

Song Yingxing, as the second gear head of the ordnance institute, knows the situation of each production line well.

"Well, remember, our ordnance office does not pay credit, nor does it owe debts, this is the bottom line of this official, and we must abide by it!" Liu Hong's gradual righteousness is awe-inspiring.

He is about to go bankrupt because of this, and there are at least thirty or forty million taels of silver in the treasury, and since he has it, of course he can't give it to the household department on credit.

"In addition, the rifled guns reminded by adults, limited to technology and manpower, now the workshop produces about 100 qualified rifled guns per day, and more than 2,800 have been produced, and all of them have been assembled to the soldiers of the Thousand Households of the Adult's Banzai Mountain."

"Well, what about grenades and cannons?" Liu Hong nodded gradually, now the mainstream firearms must still be front-loading smoothbore muskets, rifled guns want to be popularized in large quantities, at least next year.

"My lord, the workers of the grenade workshop are becoming more and more skilled, and since he has not received an order from the adult, the old man has not informed the household department of this firearm.

At present, there are several warehouses for grenades alone, and according to yesterday's statistics, there are currently more than 87,500 grenades in the warehouses.

In addition, after a month of repeated testing and research, Zhang Bantou's cannon workshop has produced twelve cannons, including the front car and the bracket, all of which are made of stainless steel! ”

In fact, if it weren't for a part of the steel used to produce the barrel of rifled guns, Zhang Feng would have been able to produce at least three more cannons in this month.

And with the inspiration of the Mini shell, it is said that Zhang Bantou is recently trying to find a way to test a new shell.

"Oh yes, my lord, the glass produced in our glass workshop is selling well, and Boss Jiang sent over 180,000 taels of silver tickets yesterday! That's a month's profit!

There are also spinning workshops and Boss Gu from Shanxi, who sent a total of 320,000 taels of silver tickets.

Nowadays, although the ordnance office is losing money, fortunately, there are glass workshops, spinning workshops and coal and stone business, and our ordnance institute can basically make a slight profit in terms of capital! ”

Speaking of this, Song Yingxing was a little excited, especially in the glass workshop, the consumption of raw materials, workers, and craftsmen in a month was only 10,000 taels, but he could earn back 180,000 taels in a month.

And according to Jiang Yongmin, this is only temporary, he is opening up trade routes in the south......

"Old Song, don't be excited, this is just the beginning, you will be excited in the future, since you have made money, let's improve the food of the workers!"

Liu Hong gradually instructed that glass is just a daily commodity, and if it is really said that it is profitable, the arms business is the main one.

It's just that now his family hasn't finished assembling it, so he can't earn this silver.

"Oh, Old Song, prepare thirty square glasses tomorrow, and find ten or eight craftsmen who can install it!" Liu Hong suddenly remembered something and said to Song Yingxing.

"It's my lord! Where will I send it? ”

"Wait outside the Chengtian Gate!" Liu Hong gradually thought about it.

"It's my lord! The humble duty must be done! Song Yingxing seemed to have thought of something, and his heart was slightly excited.

"Well, by the way, bring three or five more grenades!"

"Huh?"
