Chapter 1312 - First in the Competition, Friendship, Put It Aside(First Update)
Chapter 1312
If you think about it, the bronze cannon cast before cost thousands of pounds of bronze, and the raw materials alone are thousands of pounds, not counting the cost of casting the cannon. ”
"As for the iron-tired copper-core cannon, it also needs to cost at least more than 100 catties and hundreds of catties of copper ......."
"But what about iron, even if it is a heavy cannon weighing a thousand catties, together with the cost of its casting, it is only a few tens of times, and the difference in cost is not obvious enough?"
Before listening to Wang Yang, Zhao Ji also had to nod in frustration to admit that the old driver was right. "That's true, not to mention that this cannon is not a cold weapon, after casting, it also needs gunpowder and shells, which is also a lot of expenses......"
"Just the gunpowder and shells consumed in the test cannon during this period of time are a lot of money, but fortunately, the flowering shells used in the test cannon are not used much, and most of them are solid core shells, otherwise, I really don't know how much it will cost."
This is a big hole that burns money, of course Wang Yang knows it, and he knows it very well, and at the same time, he is extremely glad that he didn't take out the musket to show off.
The important thing is that, compared with artillery, the musket, as a single weapon, is not only slightly less lethal in the face of the armor of this era, but more importantly, it lacks enough deterrent power like artillery.
What's more, the use of artillery is not only in field warfare, but also in siege warfare and defensive warfare, and it can also put this thing on the ship, so that the warships of the Great Song Dynasty can be used all over the world.

Wanyan Aguda hurried to Wang Yang's office and saluted Wang Zhao Ji at that end. Tell these two that the team of Taixue is about to set off.
Wang Yang left the house with Zhao Ji at this time, and then, as the boss of Taixue, personally led the team to Wuxue. On the other side, Li Gefei, the Guozi Priest Wine and Guozi Xuezheng, is also leading the team of Guozixue who is standing with high morale and marching towards martial arts.
And at this time, the Son of Heaven, who had just been scattered for a short time, had already changed into a casual clothes, and quietly left the palace under the embrace of the royal front Banzhi, who had already removed his iron armor, and walked towards the martial arts.
There were also countless courtiers who had dispersed the court, and they all hurried back to their respective mansions, and after changing out of the court clothes, they urged their own cars to drive towards martial arts.
There is no way, who let their children and grandchildren study in that country, who let those little rabbit cubs one by two have no cold blood, and they have to be members of any team, or they go to participate in archery or Go competitions.
As the so-called children and grandchildren participate in the competition, as elders, even if they don't shout and cheer for those little rabbits, they should also go and see their heroic posture of running, archery, and chess.
After they all arrived at the martial arts, they got out of the car and took a look, okay, almost all the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty came, and one by two saw that each other was in civilian clothes, so they could only say hello and walk towards the martial arts together.
As for the officers guarding the gate of martial arts, seeing so many bigwigs in the DPRK and China rushing in, where did they dare to stop them, either Shangshu or Shilang, and they didn't dare to stop them even if they gave themselves the courage of a bear heart and a leopard.
Therefore, when Wang Yang led the Taixue team to arrive outside the gate of martial arts, he already felt that something was wrong. And Lai Xuezheng of martial arts quickly came forward, and after saluting Wang Yang and Duan Wang Zhao Ji who got off the carriage, he was a little helpless.
"Lord Wang, I'm afraid that there is really no way to ban this martial arts today, before, there have been many senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee who have entered the martial arts, and I think they should come to see their children and grandchildren compete."
Wang Yang's eyes swept around, and he saw the originally open parking lot outside the martial arts, where dozens of four-wheeled carriages had actually stopped, and many of them were still very familiar.
Knowing that it was the important ministers of the court who also secretly sneaked into the martial arts school to be an audience, Wang Yang didn't bother to bother with them. "They love to be spectators, so it's up to them, as long as it doesn't affect the game, huh? Your Highness, look at that carriage......"
Looking in the direction pointed by Wang Yang's hand, Duan Wang Zhao Ji became strange, and turned his head to look at Wang Yang.
Wang Yang was also very helpless, so he could only glance at Zhao Ji, and His Royal Highness the prince quickly lifted his placket and walked quickly into the distance.
And what greeted him was a four-wheeled carriage surrounded by more than 20 gray-clothed guards, a low-key and luxurious four-wheeled carriage, as well as the head of the royal front class, and the white-faced and beardless Ma Shang who dressed as a butler, all proved the identity of the owner of the carriage.
And Wang Yang asked the official of Taixue to continue to drive the team towards Wuxue as the leader, and then he left the large army and led the Xuezheng of Wuxue to rush over towards Zhao Ji.
"You're here too, I'm idle today, and it just so happens that the competition between Guozixue and Taixue is happening today, so I'm just here to have a good time, didn't bother you, right?" The Son of Heaven, dressed in an ordinary gentry's robe, got out of the carriage and gestured to Wang Yang, who came forward.
"Your Majesty can come, which really makes the scholars of the country shine, and I also ask Your Majesty to forgive the ministers and others for being disappointed." The martial arts scholar said with a little trepidation.
"Okay, okay, you guys go and get busy with you, Eleven Lang, how about you just follow me?" After Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, waved his hand casually, he commanded to Duan King Zhao Ji.

The Son of Heaven also came, almost all the important ministers in the court came, and even old drivers like Su Dongpo came over to join in the fun, which made Wang Yang extremely happy, because he was worried that there would be some demon moths in the first Guozixue and Taixue Dabi, so he specially explained to the martial arts side.
Except for the students of Guozi Jian Zhuxue, who can enter the school to watch the game, the common people should not let it in for the time being, otherwise I really don't know what the chaos will become.
But even so, the martial arts, which originally seemed very open, were also filled with three or four thousand students from the Guozi Prison.
Li Gefei, the Guozi scholar and Guozi Supervisor Priest Wine, stood on the high platform next to the playground and made a brief speech, stating that this competition was not for any grievances, but to inspire the positive spirit of the Guozijian students.
After saying a few words and saying it happily, and then patting his ass back to his position, Wang Yang was quite accustomed to the speaking habits of this rigid father-in-law, so he didn't feel strange.
Next, it was naturally time for him to appear, Wang Daguan stood on the high platform, looked at the students who were eager to try below, cleared his throat, and said loudly to the copper loudspeaker.
"Students, there is no need to repeat what Li Xianjiu said, but there is one thing, I hope you remember that you are in a competition, you all represent your respective schools, give your best results, and don't let down those classmates behind you......"
Therefore, when everyone competes, we must keep in mind the spirit of competitive sports, that is, the competition first, friendship, this thing will be put aside, anyway, there is really no friendship between Taixue and Guozixue.
Although Wang Daguan did not say it explicitly, there was a meaning in and out of his words, that is, you all represent famous universities with a history of more than 100 years, and you are fighting for the honor of your respective institutions.
Throw away all the mental baggage, fight to the last moment, and never give up the will to be competitive.
