Liu Quan has to do a good job in the construction of the new city explained by the master, and on the other hand, he has to take care of his private house, he naturally understands that it is not enough to do a good job of the former, and the latter is also very important. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info heard the words of the master, he knew that his hard work was not in vain, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he did not get carried away, but he just responded to the sentence "This is the duty of the villain" and continued to lead the way.

Walking along the path behind the small building, through a cave door, a wide pool suddenly opens up in front of you. A long corridor was built along the water, along the edge of the pool to the opposite side, and the silhouette of the house could be seen between the faint branches of the trees, which was supposed to be the inner courtyard. In the middle of the corridor there is a branch that extends to the middle of the pool, and at the end is a pavilion for cool rest.

Liu Quan was a little embarrassed and said: "According to the master's instructions, a lake was originally to be dug here, and boats could be sailed." However, the craftsman said that the project is too big, there are not hundreds of people, a year or two of hard work, can not dig out, Mr. Sima also said, the Jiangnan gardens are such pools, the layout is centered on the pool, and the pavilions and pavilions are built according to the water, so "

Xia Nan was embarrassed, it seemed that it was a matter of course to get an artificial lake that could row, and waved his hand and said: "Mr. Sima is right, you are right, this is very good, built by the water, the scenery is natural, and the front and back yards are clearly distinguished." ”

Liu Quan breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the opposite side and said: "The other side of the pool is the master's inner house, the big courtyard of Qijin, the master will be able to live no matter how many ladies in the future."

"Hehe," Xia Nan pointed at Liu Quan and smiled, this guy can always figure out his own thoughts. He turned around and asked Lin Weiye: "How is it, Lao Lin, this house should be said to be a garden, not bad, let's live together?" ”

Lin Weiye disturbed his head and hesitated: "I also live in?" But," he whispered, "but I always felt like a park, and I didn't feel at home when I lived in it." ”

Xia Nan glared at him angrily: "Could it be that you lived in a two-bedroom apartment in your last life, and you still want to live in a two-bedroom apartment when you become a rich man in this life?" ”

"Hehe, maybe not that life." Lin Weiye said embarrassedly: "I can't get used to living in such a wide park, so I'd better leave it to you to enjoy it slowly, you can get me a small yard." Besides, I agreed to be neighbors with Sun Yuanhua! ”

"You" Xia Nan pointed at him, a little speechless, he was kind enough to make such a big garden, and invited him to live together, but Mingzhu secretly invested. Forget it, this guy doesn't know the goods, let him go. "Since you insist, do as you wish. However, let's explain first, this is not me going to eat alone, it is your own choice, and you can't regret it in the future. ”

"No remorse, don't worry." Lin Weiye patted his chest and promised.

Walking through the pool and coming to the backyard, Xia Nan pointed to the deep courtyard and said to Maria and the others: "Since Lao Lin doesn't want to live, this is where we live, you can choose whatever you want, and you can live in whichever room you want!" ”

"Really, dear?" Maria jumped up excitedly. It may be that after falling in love with Xia Nan, she was very fond of the traditional architecture of the East, especially this kind of garden built by the water, which was far more exquisite and beautiful than any English architecture she had ever seen.

"Of course." Xia Nan smiled, and then asked Chunlan and Xia He, "Which one do you choose?" ”

Chunlan looked at Maria, then at Xia He, bowed her head and said: "The lord is loved, Chunlan doesn't dare to take it, let's follow the lord to serve closely, where the lord lives, I will live." ”

Xia He heard her say this, hesitated for a while, and said: "I'm the same as Sister Chunlan, follow the master, where the master lives, I will live too." ”

How did Xia Nan not know Chunlan's careful thoughts, it was nothing more than that she was born as a maid, she had no name, and she didn't dare to live alone in a courtyard or even a room. However, this concept of feudal society is deep-rooted and cannot be eliminated in a short time, so it is better to go with the flow first, and then slowly loosen their minds later.

"It's okay, I'll serve my lord and me for the time being, without you by my side, I'm really not used to it in the past few months."

After inspecting the garden, Liu Quan reminded: "According to the rules, the new garden can be built with a name." ”

Xia Nan thought about it for a while and said: "Qiongzhou is located in the south of the Ming Dynasty, and I also have a southern character in my name, so let's call it Nanyuan!" ”

Although he returned to Lingao safely, Xia Nan couldn't be idle at all, and after leaving for half a year, many big and small things were dragged down, and he needed to make decisions. He rested only one night, and on the second day he gathered everyone to deal with things.

First of all, Lin Weiye raised the question of the finalization of artillery. He suggested that 12-pounder Napoleon guns were needed for land battles, and 12-pounder long-barreled naval guns and 32-pounder Caron guns were needed for naval battles. In order not to delay the progress, the Napoleonic cannon has already cast a prototype, and it will be put into mass production only after the approval of the summer south.

"In addition to the 12-pounder mountain howitzer, the 12-pounder Napoleon gun is indispensable, both in range and in power." Lin Weiye had a soft spot for the 12-pound Napoleon, and he had been haunted by it since he was denied, and when he seized the opportunity, he spared no effort to encourage Xia Nan to accept this kind of cannon.

Xia Nan thought for a while and replied: "Before, it was just a matter of whether there was a problem, and it was inconvenient to transport, so I chose a 12-pounder mountain howitzer. Now that metallurgical technology has reached a higher level, and the size of the team is gradually expanding, it is possible to consider using a small number of Napoleonic cannons to match the height of mountain grenades. Then the army decided that these two kinds of artillery would be field artillery: mountain grenades could be used as the main firepower in small encounters, and Napoleonic guns would be the main guns in large engagements. ”

He paused and said: "However, I think these names are too awkward, it is better to follow the local customs, give a down-to-earth name, just like brown Bess named Qionghai three-year rifle is very good, and it will be convenient for the soldiers to call it in the future, otherwise we will have to teach them the conversion of the units of the imperial system and the municipal system." ”

Lin Weiye nodded: "This is indeed a problem, in fact, the name also involves the planning of the artillery system. So what's the name? It's up to you to make up your mind. ”

Xia Nan asked: "Both cannons are claimed to be 12 pounds, and the shells fired weigh the same?" ”

"Different. A 12-pounder Napoleon gun typically fires a 123-pound solid shell, while a 12-pounder mountain howitzer typically fires an 89-pound grenade. ”

Xia Nan calculated in his heart and said: "12 pounds is about a little more than 5 kilograms, which is more than 10 pounds when converted into the city system, and a 12-pound Napoleon cannon is called a 10-pound field gun, 89 pounds is about 8 pounds, and a 12-pound mountain howitzer is called an 8-pound mountain artillery." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Weiye nodded: "There are not many types of guns used in our land warfare, and it is not bad to divide them by the names of field guns and mountain guns. ”

To be continued.
