Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 381 The Blessing of Qi People
"Lu Hao, I would rather commit suicide than surrender."

Yan Xi's attitude remained firm.

Lu Hao was a little surprised that a woman had such great courage and courage.

"To be honest, I have ten thousand ways to get you to talk, but I am very compassionate and don't want to get bloody..."

Lu Hao said calmly.

"I can kill myself anytime!"

Yan Xi said coldly.

"The truth knows that there is poison in your mouth. If you want to die, just take the poison and commit suicide. The truth will definitely collect your body for you!"

Lu Hao was not anxious at all.

"Yan Xi, just surrender. The prime minister spared your life because of my kindness. Please stop being stubborn."

Situ Tianyin walked in slowly.

"Pavilion Master, I'm sorry for you!"

Yan Xi burst into tears.

"Silly girl, every girl we take in at Tianyin Pavilion has a rough fate and a miserable life. I really don't want to see you die."

Situ Tianyin continued to persuade.

"Actually, even if you don't cooperate with the Prime Minister, you can still do it with his wisdom and courage."

Liu Rufeng also walked in.

"Wow... woo woo woo..."

Yan Xi burst into tears.

Lu Hao did not force her anymore, but quietly left the room.

Situ Tianyin stayed with her until she stopped crying and agreed to Lu Hao's conditions.

Liu Mu has indeed placed a lot of people in the empire, but after tonight, these people will no longer exist.

After Wu Qingyu got the list, he launched an arrest operation and successfully removed all the eyes and ears planted by Liu Mu.

……

The snow in the sky is still falling.

Lu Hao braved the heavy snow and inspected the war factory in Hengyang City.

The problem of air and water leakage in steam engines has been solved, and it can now be applied to ships.

On this basis, Lu Hao plans to try to produce gasoline engines and diesel engines.

Judging from the principles of the two, they only modified steam power to burn gasoline or diesel, but the mechanical sophistication was completely different.

Although Lu Hao has produced the design drawings, it is estimated that it will take as little as one year or as much as half a year to actually produce a prototype.

Fortunately, the increase in cement formula and combustion temperature has shortened the solidification time of cement, and it can basically be invested in the construction of major roads.

Of course, with the successful development of cement, houses made of reinforced concrete can be made.

As for the rubber molding, we have begun to try to produce rubber products, especially carriage tires. With rubber, the force and load-bearing capacity of the tires have been greatly improved.

The only thing that feels lacking in productivity is the grenade. The triggering success rate of this homemade grenade is about 70.00%, and its power is too small.

Lu Hao redesigned the grenade and modified it to be made of iron. The outer shell was made of thin iron sheets, filled with explosives, and equipped with a pressure trigger device, which greatly improved the grenade's triggering success rate and the grenade's explosive power.

To be honest, if he hadn't been born as a special forces soldier and had specifically learned these things, it would have taken at least one to two years to actually experiment and put them into production.

However, it now appears that this time has been shortened to three to six months.

As for cannons used in large-scale wars, Lu Hao built the most primitive homemade cannon, a straight barrel with a diameter of [-] centimeters, and round cannonballs.

This burst of artillery shells has a burning fuse, which, after being ignited, triggers an explosion of gunpowder inside, and relies on the impact force to launch the shells.

This kind of artillery shell can travel thousands of meters, but its power is still too small. If it is used for siege, it is still slightly insufficient, and transportation is also a problem.

Therefore, Lu Hao designed a more powerful explosive pack. This explosive pack can be carried with him and can be used in stacks, making it easy to blow up city walls.

Lu Hao took advantage of the few days before the New Year to stay in Hengyang City and solved many technical problems to make this kind of war castle truly operational.

In order to consolidate this kind of castle, Lu Hao asked Mr. Peng to use cement to start building a reinforced concrete house. The initial design was to have seven floors, each floor three meters high. …

In the room of the city lord's mansion.

Lu Hao is referring to the empire's topographic maps to perfect his Grand Canal plan.

Once this canal is completed, naval warships will be able to transit through the imperial capital to achieve interoperability between the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet.

Although it is already winter, Qiongzhou Port is as warm as spring, and workers are in full swing, working hard to build warships and logistics supply ships.

As the garrison general of Qiongzhou Port, Ding Rumo was working at full capacity and did not dare to waste a day.

According to the task assigned to him by Lu Hao, he must complete the task of manufacturing the five-story ship as soon as possible and build a powerful naval fleet.

"Prime Minister, tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. The palace is holding a royal banquet to celebrate the New Year. Concubine Dong has asked you to go back and attend."

Situ Tianyin walked in.

"Is the Chinese New Year tomorrow? Time flies so fast!"

Lu Hao slowly stood up and looked at the drawings in his hands with great satisfaction.

"Prime Minister, you have been sleeping and forgetting to eat these days. I'm really worried that your body won't be able to bear it."

Situ Tianyin said softly.

"My true body is fine, don't you realize that?"

Lu Hao said with a wicked smile.

"Stop it! Just scream!"

Situ Tianyin was extremely shy.

These days, Lu Hao stayed in Hengyang City, and she and Liu Rufeng took turns sleeping together, allowing Lu Hao to enjoy the blessings of everyone.

"Since we want to celebrate the New Year, you and Rufeng can go back with me."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Let Sister Rufeng accompany you. Our Tianyin Pavilion is going to hold a celebration ceremony. It would be unreasonable for me not to go."

Situ Tianyin refused.

As a corporate organization, it is necessary to summarize at the end of the year, and it is also necessary to explain the results of the year to employees, and to pay some bonuses.

As the soul of Tianyin Pavilion, if Situ Tianyin does not attend, the organization will fall apart sooner or later.

Liu Rufeng was different. She was just born as a killer and only had two sisters. It would be best for her to go to the celebration with Lu Hao.

"Lord Pavilion Master, tell me honestly, you should have made a lot of money this year, right?"

Thief Lu Hao chuckled.

"That is necessary. Our match business is good, and the hot pot restaurant business is also very good. We will make a profit this year..."

When Situ Tianyin said this, he paused slightly, obviously not wanting to reveal the specific number.

"Oh! I don't say how much I earn. I make it look like I want your money."

Lu Hao joked.

"Actually, I have handed over the Tianyin Pavilion to the two guardians without any interference at all. I really don't know how much money I made?"

Situ Tianyin smiled bitterly.

"Forget it, no matter how much you earn, it still doesn't belong to the true Prime Minister, because you are all the true self!"

Lu Hao laughed.

"Well, you are a wealthy and wealthy Prime Minister, but it turns out you have been scheming against sister Tianyin!"

Liu Rufeng came quietly and joked with a smile.

"Did the truth plot against her? I feel sorry for her, and I'm worried that her hands will cramp while counting the money!"

Lu Hao laughed happily.
