If millions of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were equipped with a thunder in this place, how huge would it be to be astronomical?

This is really not a surprise to Zhu Yuanzhang. In ancient times, eggs and meat were all ridiculously expensive!

If the value of the Ming Dynasty is converted into the current unit of measurement, the value of a pound of eggs can be exchanged for about 50 pounds of rice.

Eggs are about 8 pounds per pound. Calculated by eating one pound of rice per person every day, the value of an egg can be about worth an ordinary person’s week’s rice money in the Ming Dynasty, which shows how precious it is.

There are three main reasons why eggs are cheap today. The first is that the chicken farm is advanced, the second is that the feed is cheap, and the third is that modern hormones are born.

When it comes to chicken farms, most people will think of a very small room where they gather together to raise a lot of chickens. In fact, this is an advanced technology introduced in the 1970s. In the early years, all chickens were free-range, let alone ancient times.

Modern people like to remove the shell when eating wheat, and the removed shells are one of the main raw materials for animal husbandry feed, which is very cheap. There was no such advanced shelling equipment in ancient times, and they were all eaten by grinding the shells together, which is what we call whole wheat now. Therefore, chickens eat the same food as ordinary people. In ancient times, ordinary people could not even eat enough for people, so where could they have free grain to feed chickens?

Therefore, chickens are usually raised by wealthy families, and the chickens that do not use hormones to produce eggs, and the yield is also very low, so eggs in ancient times were very expensive.

"It's really a waste. It seems that although this Tianlei is indeed a big killer weapon, our Ming Dynasty cannot be popularized now. We can only equip a small number of elite troops!"

When Li Shanchang heard this, he couldn't help but calculate the cost of this thunder and instantly woke up. It was completely impossible to use it on a large scale!

"This Tianlei is so powerful that it cannot be made on a large scale? That's a pity, right?"

"Uncle, why don't we let the court raise more chickens?"

"Shut up, no one thinks you are mute if you don't speak!"

......

Everyone calmed down from the excitement just now, and couldn't help but feel sad.

It's like you look at the mountains of gold and silver in front of you, but you can't mine it!

Wars, from ancient times to the present, are the same, that is to burn money!

In most of the ancient times, the offensive parties were basically nomadic peoples, and the defensive parties were basically farming peoples. This is also the reason why they were basically farming peoples.

That is, the cost required for the two to fight is completely disproportionate!

The civilization of the farming nation is much more developed. Everyone seems to have families and assets. Unless they have to be forced, who would be willing to fight the Tartars?

Nomads are not the case. They basically have a life of ruin, they want houses but no houses and fields.

The cost of fighting is nothing more than a horse, a few bows and arrows, and at most it will add to your own life!

Even if you don’t fight, you just drive the animals and seem to wander. As you swim, you will reach the territory of the farming people. What else can you say?

If we can’t farm or produce, we can only grab it?

If you can beat me, you can even grab the territory. If you can't beat me, let's go back and continue herding cattle and sheep!

But the farming ethnic groups are completely different. As long as you fight, you have to prepare food and grass first. Time is wasted on the war, and the fields will naturally become deserted.

If you win, you will lose everything. If you lose, you will lose everything and maybe you will even lose your life.

So everyone says that the farming nation is a peace-loving person, but it is actually biased!

It is not necessarily that I really love peace, but it is mainly because of money. How can I calculate this account and suffer losses!

Those nomadic peoples, what can we make if we win? Cow shit eggs? Some livestock?

This effort is completely inconsistent with the gains!

If you have something worth grabbing, do you see if the farming people still love peace?

I will tell you instantly with facts, and I won’t be afraid of you when I fight!

However, if you meet someone like Emperor Wu of Han who can defeat your country to the verge of bankruptcy, then you have to admit that you are unlucky.

"In fact, it's not just about using eggs, but also water. It's just that it's less powerful than eggs."

Seeing everyone's grim faces and sighing, Fang Shiyu couldn't bear it and could only give a reminder.

In fact, the granular gunpowder was originally invented because a soldier accidentally sprinkled water on it.

Fang Shiyu had reason to suspect that the reason why the Fang Tianlei No. 1 was so powerful just now was because he replaced the water with egg white!

"Fang Tianlei has a way, why don't you tell me earlier?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up!

Whether it is powerful or not is important, what is important is saving money!

If it really doesn't work, let's put a strong medicine. We use a hundred kilograms of this thing to make a big thing. We don't believe it's not as good as a kilogram of egg white!

It’s not just Zhu Yuanzhang, but the ideas of these ancient people were surprisingly consistent!

Everyone believes that great power can do miracles!

As for the most powerful Fang Tianlei made of egg white, we will equip a small number of elite soldiers. If the Fang Tianlei made of water, we will equip the entire army!

"You all know the granulation of gunpowder and the power of Fang Tianlei. Should you discuss the following? In whose name will this thing be submitted to His Majesty today?"

After everything was done, Fang Shiyu couldn't help but ask slowly.

"Of course it's you Fang Tianlei...ah, no, it's naturally you, Boy Fang! Isn't this nonsense?"

"My uncle is right!"

Lan Yu was the first to scream.

This is simply a national important thing!

As long as you present this thing to the court, adding an official position will be like taking advantage of your treasure!

Whoever dares to compete with Boy Fang for this credit is overestimating his own abilities!

Unless you are really shameless, I still want Lan Yu’s face anyway.

As he finished speaking, except Chang Mao, the rest of the people looked at the 25-year-old with an extremely strange look.

"What's going on? What's going on? Why do you think I'm doing this? Did I say it wrong?"

Lan Yu scratched her head and asked curiously.

"That..."

"Uncle, this thing is a killer weapon, a country's important thing! Therefore, whether it is a proportional formula or a manufacturing process, it must be under 100% control of the court!"

"Once the rebellious person leaked out and let the Tartars know, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"So this is a great contribution, but at the same time, it may also be closely monitored by the court. You will not be able to regain your freedom in your life. Not only individuals, but your descendants will also be closely monitored by the court."

Seeing Lan Yu's question marks on his face, Zhu Di couldn't bear it and had to explain.

The ancients looked at exclusive secrets more than life!

Anyone who can make a move will only pass it to men, not women, and if you want to learn it, you have to respect your master and be a grandson for a few years.

Even if you are a grandson, you may not be able to learn it. It depends on your luck and what kind of master you meet.

This is still the case among the people. It is conceivable how the court will pay attention to the powerful weapon like Fang Tianlei.

In fact, Lan Yu is also a Menqing for these unspoken rules.

But now these people around him are more and more big bosses. Lan Yu didn't remember that she was acting with His Majesty the Emperor!

"You're going to tell me what are you going to do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang started asking in a pretentious manner.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, is this a matter?

The Ming Dynasty was extremely strict. In short, it was that the dragon gave birth to the dragon, the phoenix gave birth to the phoenix, and the mouse's son was born to dig holes.

The household registration system is clear and rigorous.

What did your father do during his lifetime? It’s time for you, just keep doing it.

Do you want to jump to a job? Do you want to change your career?

Sorry, Daming does not have this option!

Isn’t this invention of Fang Shiyu a military invention?

So what? In the Ming Dynasty's ward system, there were professions specializing in the invention of arms.

The Nanzhen Fushi, a subsidiary of the Jinyiwei, also has a department specializing in military inventions.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question was completely a joke, and he wanted to see how Fang Shiyu was preparing to deal with this issue.

Based on Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of Fang Shiyu, this little bastard should have kept the next move long ago!

Sure enough!
