The most arrogant in history

Chapter 373 What a wise man!

Ye Kun thought about it and asked again: "Can we shrink the warhead?"

Lao He smiled bitterly: "If the warhead is reduced in size, then the armor-piercing capability will be lost. So we are caught in a dilemma and cannot have it both ways."

Pang Jia chuckled: "I have a way to make the bullet smaller and the barrel smaller, while still ensuring the range and armor penetration."

"What's the solution? Tell me now, Junior Brother!" Ye Kun believed it.

"Yes, it is to use a golden bullet. Gold has a high specific gravity, so if the bullet is made smaller, it will have no problem penetrating armor."

"Fuck, you are such a wise junior brother!"

Ye Kun was so angry that his balls hurt. He said to the technicians in the arsenal: "Since we can't reduce the weight of the gun, and it's still operated by two people, research the ten-shot burst. After the test is successful, mass production will start immediately!"

A ten-shot rifle is roughly equivalent to a small machine gun.

It can be used as a gun carrier, operated by two people in cooperation; or it can be set up on a city wall or a battlefield, operated by a single soldier.

In this case, increasing the firing rate by three times is almost equivalent to tripling the combat effectiveness.

The technician smiled and said, "That's no problem. We can produce samples in a few days and start mass production in a month."

Ye Kun asked Sun Yi to help the technical staff with the research, and then called He Tiantian to talk to him alone.

Tian Tian already knew what Ye Kun was going to say, her face flushed and she lowered her head.

"Tiantian, ever since I met you, I have treated you as my sister. Over the past few years, I have taught you some things, and you have helped me a lot."

Ye Kun thought back to the past few years and said with a smile, "You are old enough now, it's time for you to get married. My junior brother Sun Yi loves you and hopes to marry you. So, I will be the matchmaker..."

"Lord Ye, I... won't get married, okay? I just want to stay in the laboratory for the rest of my life and do what I can." Tiantian's voice was weak and soft.

"You and Sun Yi will get married, and you will still be in the laboratory in the future." Ye Kun smiled: "Don't worry, you will still be my sister after you get married. If Sun Yi bullies you, I will take care of him!"

Tian Tian pinched the corner of her clothes and finally nodded: "Then I... will follow Lord Ye's arrangements."

"Very good. Before we move, I will find some time to preside over your wedding."

Ye Kun nodded, said a few more words of comfort, and went to the military academy to check.

Longquanshan Military Academy has been built very well.

However, they also had to move to Xiangyang, leaving only two classes there, one for military discussion and the other for military training.

Because there were very few troops stationed in Yizhou and there was a shortage of manpower.

However, the garrisons in Jingzhou and Hanzhong numbered nearly 100,000, and a military academy was urgently needed to train talents.

As soon as I entered the door, I met an acquaintance!

When he saw Ye Kun, the man was stunned and stood there blankly.

Ye Kun was also stunned, then smiled and said: "Xue Changfeng? I hope you are well!"

This Xue Changfeng was the deputy commander of Xiangyang back then. After being captured alive by Ye Kun, he cursed Ye Kun.

Ye Kun did not kill him. Instead, he sent someone to send him to Chengdu so that he could see with his own eyes his achievements in Yizhou. He also allowed him to visit and study at the military academy.

Counting it up, it has been more than a year.

Ye Kun almost forgot about this guy!

Xue Changfeng looked at Ye Kun, gradually calmed down, and bowed and said, "King of Hanzhong, are you here to kill me today?"

"If I want to kill you, I can just sit at home and talk to you. Do I need to come in person? Besides, I'm almost forgetting about you."

Ye Kun raised his hand, invited Xue Changfeng to come forward, and asked: "How long have you been in Yizhou, and where have you been?"

"It's been a year. I passed through Chongqing and then came to Chengdu."

"What do you think of what you have seen and heard? How does my ruling of Yizhou compare to Xiahou Chang's ruling of the Central Plains?"

"You are very powerful. Xiahou Chang is not as good as you." Xue Changfeng sighed:

"I have been hanging out at your military academy for the past six months, and I just realized that even if you don't have guns and cannons, Xiahou Chang can't beat you. This world will be yours sooner or later."

What Xue Changfeng saw and heard in the past year had a profound impact on him.

The people of Yizhou all lived and worked in peace and contentment, had enough food and clothing, and praised Ye Kun's merits;

The administration of officials is clean and fair, rewards and punishments are measured, and the relationship between officials and the people is harmonious, which is unprecedented.

Chengdu's production and living standards, medical level, and cultural level made Xue Changfeng feel as if he had come to a paradise.

Ye Kun stopped and said solemnly: "The world does not belong to me, but to the people. I am only leading the people to take the world back."

Xue Changfeng frowned: "Don't you want to be emperor?"

"Do you think this world must have an emperor?"

Ye Kun asked in return, and then answered his own question: "The ancients said, 'We work when the sun rises and rest when the sun sets, we farm for food and dig wells for water. What power does the emperor have over me?'"

The meaning of this sentence from the ancients is very straightforward.

I grow crops for food, dig wells for water, and feed myself. What kind of help or role does the emperor have for me? So why should ordinary people pay taxes and grain, and why should they respect the emperor?

Xue Changfeng was even more shocked and frowned without saying a word.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "If the emperor and officials can think about the people, resist foreign enemies, quell internal troubles, govern natural disasters, treat diseases, and guide and promote production, then it will be of some use; if the emperor and officials only think about exploiting the people, exhausting the world's financial and human resources, and trampling on the people while being high and mighty, then they are robbers and traitors to the people!"

Xue Changfeng was silent for a long time: "Maybe you are right, but how many saintly kings have there been in ancient times?"

"So, the common people must have a spirit of resistance and a spirit of struggle. If they encounter a bad emperor or official, they will rebel against him." Ye Kun continued to walk forward, pointing at the military academy building and said:

"I have said to the students of the military academy that the world belongs to the people. Whoever makes life difficult for the people should be made to suffer, no matter if he is a governor, prime minister or emperor."

Xue Changfeng asked: "If you say that, aren't you afraid that the people will rebel against you?"

"If the people rebel against me, it means that I am not doing a good job. I accept my fate." Ye Kun shrugged and said:

"I have given dignity to the people of Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yongliang and other two states, but the people of the Central Plains and Jiangdong are still suffering from dire straits and being exploited. Next, I will march into the Central Plains and Jiangdong to save the people from the dire straits. I will unify China and maintain the integrity of the territory.

General Xue, I wonder if you are willing to complete this mission with me?"

Xue Changfeng clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to follow the King of Hanzhong and seek the welfare of the people of the world!"

Ye Kun smiled and patted Xue Changfeng on the shoulder.

Xue Changfeng also smiled awkwardly: "I have offended the King of Hanzhong before, please forgive me."

"It's okay. Ma Zhao scolded me for half a month, but I didn't get angry. Confucius said, 'If people don't know you, but you don't get angry, isn't that a gentleman?'"

Ye Kun waved his hand and said, "I think that those who dare to scold me are people with principles and courage. I use these people so that everyone can supervise me, so as to prevent me from having too much power, being arbitrary and making big mistakes."

As they were talking, a group of cadet soldiers came over, wearing the same training uniforms, with neat formations and firm footsteps.

Song Poliu led the team and saluted Ye Kun: "Hello, Principal!"

"Hello, brothers!"

Ye Kun returned the greeting with a fist and asked, "Song Poliu, do you have any training items today?"

More than a year has passed, and now Song Poliu has become an instructor at the Tanbing Hall.

"Principal, today I will lead the brothers to conduct wall climbing training with bare hands!"

"Very good, let's go and have a look together."

Ye Kun nodded and invited Xue Changfeng to go and see it together.
