Chapter 1312

Think about it, the bronze cannon I cast before was a total of thousands of kilograms of bronze. The raw materials alone are a thousand stakes, which is not the cost of casting the cannon."

"As for the iron-tied copper-core cannon, it also costs at least more than a hundred kilograms of copper, or hundreds of kilograms of copper..."

"But what about iron? Even a heavy cannon weighing a thousand pounds, plus its casting cost, is it only a few dozen cents. Isn't the difference in the cost so big that it's not obvious enough?"

Before hearing Wang Yang, Zhao Ji 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, gunpowder and shells are needed, which is also a considerable expense..."

"The gunpowder and shells consumed during this period of time are a considerable number. Fortunately, the flowering shells used for the test cannon are not used for many, and they mostly use solid core shells. Otherwise, I really don't know how much money it will cost."

This is a big hole in burning money. Of course, Wang Yang knew it and knew it very well. At the same time, he was extremely glad that he did not take out the musket to show off.

What is important is that compared with artillery, muskets, as individual weapons, face the strong armor of this era, not only have a slightly insufficient lethality, but more importantly, they lack sufficient power like artillery.

What's more, the purpose of artillery is not only in field battles, but also in siege and defensive battles. It can also put this thing on the ship, allowing the warships of the Song Dynasty to gain power in the world.

Wanyan Aguda rushed to Wang Yang's office and bowed to Duan Wang Zhao Ji. He told the two that the participating teams in the Imperial Academy were about to set off.

Wang Yang and Zhao Ji left the house together, and then as the boss of the Imperial Academy, led the team to the martial arts. On the other hand, Li Gefei, the Imperial Academy Priest and the Imperial Academy, also led the team of the Imperial Academy, who was very motivated to move towards the martial arts.

At this time, the emperor, who had just left the court, had already changed into a casual clothes. He surrounded by a group of imperial troupes who had already taken off their iron armor and quietly left the palace and headed towards the martial arts.

There were also countless court officials who had scattered the court and rushed back to their respective mansions, changed their wardrobes, and urged their carriages to head towards martial arts.

There is no way, who lets his children and grandchildren study in the National School, and who makes those little bastards have to be members of any battle team, or they either participate in archery or Go competitions.

As the saying goes, children and grandchildren participate in the competition. As elders, even if they don’t cheer for those little bastards, they should go and see their heroic posture of running, archery, and chess.

After they all arrived at the martial arts school, they got off the car and saw that almost all the important officials in the court had arrived. One and two saw that they were all casually dressed, so they could only say hello and walk into the martial arts school together.

As for the officers guarding the martial arts gate, when they saw so many big men in the court rushing in, they dared not stop them? They were either Shangshu or Shishu, and they didn't dare to stop them even if they gave themselves the courage to be brave.

So, when Wang Yang led the Imperial Academy team to the outside of the martial arts gate, he felt something was wrong. Lai Xuezheng, a martial arts student, quickly came forward and bowed to Wang Yang who had got off the carriage and Zhao Ji, Duan, and then he felt helpless.

"Mr. Wang, I'm afraid that this martial arts is really impossible to ban it today. Before, many officials in the court had already entered the martial arts. I think they should be visiting their children and grandchildren to compete."

Wang Yang glanced around and saw that the originally open parking lot outside the martial arts school had actually stopped dozens of four-wheeled carriages, and many of them looked very familiar.

Knowing that the important officials of the court also sneaked into martial arts to be the audience, Wang Yang was too lazy to bother with them. "They like to be the audience, so let them go. As long as it doesn't affect the progress of the competition at that time, then, just do not affect the progress of the competition. Hey? Your Highness, look at that carriage..."

Looking in the direction that Wang Yang's hand pointed, King Duan Zhao Ji became strange and turned his head to look at Wang Yang.

Wang Yang was also helpless and could only wink at Zhao Ji. The prince quickly raised his front and walked quickly towards the distance.

What came to him was a four-wheeled carriage surrounded by more than twenty gray-clothed guards, the low-key but luxurious four-wheeled carriage, the straight leader of the imperial squad, and the white-faced Ma Shang, who looked like a housekeeper, all proved the identity of the carriage owner.

Wang Yang asked the officials of the Imperial Academy to continue driving into the martial arts school as the leader. Then he left the large army and led the martial arts school to come towards Zhao Ji.

"You are here too. I'm idle today. It just so happens that the competition between the Imperial College and the Imperial College is just today, so I'm here to join in the fun. Didn't you bother you?" The emperor, wearing an ordinary gentry robe, got off the carriage and nodded to Wang Yang who was approaching him.

"Your Majesty is able to come, which really makes the students of the Imperial College be prosperous. I would like to forgive me for your mistakes and welcome me." The martial arts scholar said with some fear.

"Okay, okay, go and do your work, Shiyilang, how about you just follow me?" Emperor Zhao Xu waved his hand casually and ordered King Duan Zhao Ji.

The emperor also came, and almost all the important officials in the court came. Even veteran drivers like Su Dongpo rushed over to join in the fun. This made Wang Yang extremely glad that he was worried that there would be some monsters in the first competition between Imperial College and Imperial College, so he specially explained to the martial arts side.

Except for students from the Imperial College schools who can enter the school to watch the competition, the people should not put it in for the time being, otherwise they really don’t know what the chaos will be like.

However, even so, the martial arts that originally seemed very open were filled with three or four thousand students from the Imperial College.

Li Gefei, the official scholar of the Imperial College, stood on the high platform next to the playground and made a brief speech, declaring that this competition was not for grudges, but for inspiring the students of the Imperial College to work hard.

After finishing it in a few words and happily, then slapped his butt back to his position. Wang Yang was quite used to the speaking habits of this stereotyped father-in-law, so he didn't find it strange.

Next, it was naturally time for him to appear. Wang Daren stood on the platform, looked at the students who were eager to try below, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly at the copper loudspeaker.

"Students, I don't need to repeat what Li Jijiu said just now, but I hope you all remember that you are in the competition, and you all represent your own school and perform your best results. Don't let those classmates down there be disappointment..."

Therefore, when everyone competes, they must keep in mind the spirit of competitive sports, that is, competition first, friendship, let this thing be put aside first. Anyway, there is really no friendship between the Taixue and the Imperial College.

Although Wang Daguan Ren did not say it clearly, he revealed one meaning inside and outside, that is, you all represent a famous institution with a history of more than a hundred years, and you are fighting for the honor of their respective institutions.
