As the Supreme Minister and having a mortal grudge with Zhao Gao, Meng Yi will spare no effort to find Zhao Gao's various handles and even false charges. Just like the last time he stepped on Ao Ping to death, he finally made a contribution and directly stepped on Zhao Gao into pieces.

But this kind of life-and-death battle in the court is not Chen Xu's strength. He has few people under his command, and there is not even a single helper in the court. His strength is to invent and create some delicious food.

Many angry young people like the most is to directly kill Zhao Gao with guns and bombs, which is both comfortable and festive. However, using this terrifying method to deal with political enemies in the court will inevitably arouse hostility from everyone, including the emperor. If you can use Taiyi divine thunder to kill Zhao Gao, wouldn’t you also use Taiyi divine thunder to kill me? Therefore, it is better to die for such a terrifying immortal disciple. Then, on a dark and windy night, a fire suddenly broke out in the Qinghe Marquis’ Mansion. When Chen Xu fled in panic, there were imperial guards in the dark night, and thousands of arrows were fired at once, Chen Xu would inevitably be shot into a big hedgehog.

Therefore, the standard operating procedure for political struggle is to design and frame it, which is a mental labor. If you still use swords and fists to solve problems like ordinary people and playboys, it would be too low-level.

It is clearest whether Chen Xu is a disciple of the Immortal Family. Therefore, he must rely on his ability to gain a foothold in Daqin, stabilize his position as soon as possible, and tramplify the pest like Zhao Gao that will cause trouble to Daqin in the future as soon as possible. Meng Yi is his best choice at the moment.

"My benefactor, Meng Yi is obviously a black-hearted person. Will this matter go wrong?" Yu Wuya stood beside him and said, holding an iron sword.

Chen Xu turned around and said, "If someone had almost killed you and had always wanted to kill you, would you forgive him?"

"How is it possible? I will split him into eight petals at the ends of the world!" Yu Wuya said viciously.

"That's right. The hatred between Meng Yi and Zhao Gao cannot be resolved at all. You either die or I live. There is no second choice. I have said before that the court is full of hypocrites, which is even more terrifying than villains. As long as there is sufficient evidence and confidence, Meng Yi will definitely kill Zhao Gao!" After Chen Xu finished speaking, he pulled the reins and turned around, "Let's go, go to the factory!"

"I found that the court was too terrible. Xianyang was not suitable for survival like me! Wuya still liked to live with her beloved in Xiaohe Village. The happiest time was the time to eat, drink and play every day." Yu Wuya's face was riding a horse with Qi Ran and said.

"It seems that you are tired of this kind of life!" Chen Xu said with a little emotion.

"Maybe, this kind of intrigue and death court battle has no meaning at all!" Yu Wuya sighed slightly.

"Indeed, Brother Wuya, you will follow me for two more years. When I gain a foothold in the court, you will go and find your master..."

"How can that be? I haven't eaten the world's most delicious and spicy crayfish that my beloved last time said!" Yu Wuya immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"That's it!" Chen Xu looked up at the sky silently. He didn't know when he could taste what he wanted. The corner of America was still 108,000 miles away.

In the factory smelting workshop, Ma Gan and Gongshusheng, who were highly anticipated by Chen Xu, are still racking their brains for lead bullets the size of mung beans.

When they saw Chen Xu coming, their faces were both distressed and entangled. Because there was no way, the two gathered a large group of helpers who were cutting lead blocks manually.

Because the lead blocks are very soft and can be easily cut with a knife, first beat the lead blocks into thin slices about a minute thick, then cut them into thin strips of a width, then cut them into squares the size of mung beans, and then grind them into balls with grinding stones.

This is completely the most primitive and labor-consuming method. If you work hard for a day, you will probably have to shoot it all in just a few guns.

Therefore, looking at the results of a group of people who have been grinding for a day, Chen Xu's face turned dark, with only half a bowl of only two or three hundred pills in total, and the size is different and irregular.

With this slow work efficiency, if you want to fight, the soldiers on the front line will probably be frozen.

Moreover, lead is a heavy metal and is toxic. These helpers who help polish cut and rub their sweat while wiping their fingers. Their hands, face and mouth are all black. At first glance, they are just varieties that can't last a few years.

"Stop~" Chen Xu's head was covered in black and everyone stopped.

Everyone stopped for no reason to lick their fingers, because many people's fingers were worn out, and Chen Xu's face turned a little darker.

Although lead is easy to process, it must not be used for a long time. Chen Xu just thought that the lead is easy to melt and process and said casually, he never expected that Ma Gan and others would use this method. Because it was winter, the shed was relatively closed, and the ground lead powder would definitely be released in large quantities in the air. Over time, it would definitely have irreversible serious consequences to the body. Moreover, the lead powder falling on the ground will also pollute the soil, and it will also penetrate into the water when it rains. In the end, the pollution will not be removed for hundreds of years.

"Your method is too slow, you must think of a simpler and faster method!" Chen Xu said with a twitching face.

"Marty, this is the best way we can think of!" Ma Gan said carefully.

"No, there must be a better, simpler and faster way!" Chen Xu shook his head and squatted down to look at the small lead pieces cut into squares, then pinched his chin and began to recall how the round steel balls in later generations were made, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out. His eyes suddenly fell on many pebbles on the ground.

Although these pebbles are not regular and not round, they have a relatively smooth appearance. They are like grinding in the water and then grinding them. Seeing these pebbles, Chen Xu suddenly remembered that the merchants who made Hetian jade in Hetian, Xinjiang, once played on TV. They smashed large pieces of mountain materials collected on the mountain and placed them in a drum mixer to stir them continuously with sand. Then they can polish the jade material with clear water chestnuts into a round appearance, and then dyed and pretended to be seed materials.

Common metals such as lead, copper, iron and tin are softer than mountain jade. If they can be made into small pieces that are not particularly regular and then placed in a mixer to stir, they will probably be able to make tens of thousands or tens of thousands of bullets at one time.

"Go and find the drawing tools and paper!" Chen Xu stood up and ordered.

"Haven, wait!" Ma Gan turned around and ran to the office. Soon, carrying a tool box and a stack of hemp pulp and paper, ran over and handed it to Chen Xu.

Chen Xu spread the paper on the workbench next to him, then took out a ruler, took a cut lead strip and started drawing it on the paper.

The principle of a drum mixer is very simple. It is a closed cylinder with a spindle with a stirrer and a shaker. In this era without a motor, everything can only be designed manually. However, with experience in designing threshers and rolling machines, Chen Xu quickly drew a sketch of a drum mixer, which looks no different from a threshers.

"Mr. Marquis, are you painting a new threshing machine?"

After spending more than a year with Chen Xu, both Ma Gan and Gongshusheng are now very familiar with looking at such two-dimensional floor drawings. Looking at the sketches drawn by Chen Xu, Gongshusheng was full of doubts.

"It's not a threshing machine, this kind of machine is called a mixer!" Chen Xu threw the lead strips on the table, then wiped his hands cleaned and pointed to the drawings and said, "The drum outside is cast with steel. Don't be too big. Just be four feet long. The inner diameter is three feet. In order to facilitate installation and disassembly and maintenance, it is enough to make the upper and lower halves together. The feed and discharge ports must be reserved for the upper and lower parts, and a hole for installing a loop at both ends. You can decide the size of the hole. The spindle in the center must also be cast with steel. Three stirrers must be installed on it. The stirrers must be fitted with the inner wall of the stirrers. The gap cannot be too large... Do you understand!"

"I understand, I understand!"

It took a few minutes to talk about the mixer. Ma Gan and Gongshusheng both pointed their heads together like chickens eating rice, and there were a few onlookers next to them who were confused. Looking at the graphics and curved numbers on the drawings, like Erha looking at the stars, his face full of confusion.

Chen Xu has been inventing this simple Arabic numeral for more than a year, but it is not used many places, that is, Qinghe Group and Huaxia Money House are used. Although Zhang Cang and some other people in the Academy of Sciences are also used, the scope is very small after all, so these craftsmen in the factory do not recognize them. Even the manuals for smelting steel and the specifications of the pawn equipment were compiled last time, otherwise the merchants and craftsmen in the county below would not understand it.

However, as time goes by, this more convenient and simple number will inevitably spread and be accepted by everyone.

"If you understand, hurry up and do it! It will take about how long it will take to make it." Chen Xu threw the drawings to Gongshusheng.

"The roller and spindle need to be turned into sand and molded first, but now there is plenty of manpower, so I guess it will be able to make it in about one day!" Gongshusheng said quickly.

"Okay, let's stop here for the time being. All lead blocks must be cleaned up strictly and not thrown around everywhere. This thing is poisonous, so it's best not to use it. Take me to the casting workshop to see if you can think of a way to make small round marbles like iron or copper!"

Follow Gongshusheng and Magan to the casting workshop, where seven or eight workers and craftsmen in blue work clothes and rattan hats were shouting and commanding loudly, dozens of helpers and hundreds of work slaves were smelting steel casting steel bars in full swing.

Although it was the cold winter season, the temperature in the workshop was extremely high. The row of six iron smelting furnaces used for stir-frying steel were all red. All the slaves were wearing coarse cloth clothes, gloves and hats and were sweating profusely. Some added coal into the stove, some pulled the huge bellows, and some were stirring the iron juice with large iron rods to remove the scraps inside. The red iron water was bubbling with bubbles and splashing out from time to time.
