Chapter 349 Slap

"This is the Pearl?" Standing by the sea, looking at the Pearl which has entered training state, Hu Yinglan's eyes lit up, "It seems a little different?"

The white Pearl is noble and elegant, like a sharp knife piercing into the sea.

"Of course it's different! The technology has improved! Zhang's technology is improving all the time.

The turret on the Pearl directly adopted the double turret, and now the turret technology has matured. "

Zhang Hao began to explain:

Due to the adoption of double forts and the fact that the Mingzhu is a little more slender, the bow main guns of the Mingzhu are no longer arranged side by side, but front and back. There are two sets of four 460mm guns.

Two 100mm twin secondary guns are added on both sides.

At the stern of the ship is a 460mm twin-linked turret, supplemented by two 100mm twin-linked secondary guns.

There are four 100mm double forts on each side of the ship's side, with a total of eight forts and 16 cannons on both sides.

In addition, three depth charge towers are added on each side of the ship's side, and the depth charges are converted from 460mm shells. This projectile tower borrows technology from mortars.

In addition, 12 sniper spots have been added to the battleship, and each sniper spot has two sniper rifles, a team leader, and four team members to form a sniper team.

"Sniper rifle? What?" Hu Yinglan heard unfamiliar words again.

"Now there is a group of snipers in place, let's go up and have a look." Zhang Hao took Hu Yinglan and flew towards the battleship. The warship has just left port to prepare for training in the afternoon, and its speed has not yet increased.

Zhang Hao and Hu Yinglan quickly flew to the bow.

A general at the bow watched the two men fly towards them coldly, and shouted, "Please identify yourself, both of you!"

Hu Yinglan frowned: "Shu Bennan, you..."

Zhang Hao waved his hand to stop Hu Yinglan, and said loudly: "Zhang Hao, president of Dayang Group, minister of the National Ocean Development Department."

Hu Yinglan frowned, but still introduced: "Hu Yinglan, the palace guard, follows His Majesty."

"Proof of identity!" Shu Bennan was meticulous.

Zhang Hao and Hu Yinglan took out the identity jade badge, which is the identity jade badge of an official, a bit like an official seal. But there are complex formations and anti-counterfeiting methods inside.

After checking the official seal, Shu Bennan opened the barrier and let the two of them in. The seriousness on his face disappeared, and he showed a smile: "What are you two doing here?"

Zhang Hao said with a smile: "Your Majesty cares about you, so let Guard Hu come over to have a look. How is it? Can you adapt to life at sea?"

"No problem!" Shu Bennan smiled brightly, "Thank you Your Majesty for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations. At the end of the year, I will lead the warships and wipe out all the navy in the Kingdom of Langya!"

Hu Yinglan also had to praise a few words. Finally, Zhang Hao took the words, "How is the new sniper rifle used recently? It just so happened that Guard Hu came over today, so I'll take her to check it out."

"No problem. Feng Dinghu!"

"Here!" A man who looked about 30 years old and had a golden core stage cultivation but was calm came over.

"Take Guard Hu and Mr. Zhang to visit your sniper rifle team."

"Yes. Both of you, please follow me."

Currently the only sniper point is at the highest point of the superstructure of the battleship. There are 30 people around Feng Dinghu, but for the time being, there is only one sniper rifle and five ordinary guns. Ordinary guns can also be used for training, at least for everyone to get familiar with.

Feng Dinghu went off in person. The target was the target on the shore, about two kilometers away from the battleship. Even with the blessing of Eagle Eye, Hu Yinglan could only see a small spot. There was an iron ball the size of a human head.

The battleship is still accelerating. Although the battleship is very stable, a slight ups and downs are enough to miss the target.

Feng Dinghu was lying on the floor, aiming his long sniper rifle at a distant target. Time passed by, and suddenly there was a loud noise, brilliant flames spewed out from the muzzle of the sniper rifle, and the air seemed to fluctuate. Amidst the violent noise, there was a faint sharp sound.

Hu Yinglan frowned and looked into the distance.

But in just a little more than a second, the iron ball two kilometers away suddenly tumbled out, and the surrounding rocks exploded.

Feng Dinghu still didn't get up, but aimed at the next target. In the sky, a bird was released. It was a flying bird about 30 centimeters long, less than two kilometers away from the battleship. But compared to the iron ball, the flying bird is a high-speed moving target.

And there is another point, the flying bird is very fast, if you don't snipe as soon as possible, the flying bird will fly away.

Feng Dinghu didn't move at all, and after more than ten seconds quietly passed, he suddenly fired again. About a second later, the bird exploded into a cloud of blood in the sky.

Only then did Feng Dinghu get up, his eyes full of pride and confidence.

Seeing Zhang Hao, he was a little surprised. Cultivators are really powerful. If ordinary people were to train, it would take years of hard work to reach this level. But practitioners don't need it. Especially Jindan stage practitioners, who can kill enemies with swords and have powerful facial features. After being exposed to sniper rifles, it took only three days for them to become a sharpshooter.

Hu Yinglan's pupils contracted, she keenly felt the horror of the sniper rifle.

Zhang Hao explained next to him: "The sniper rifle is specially developed for those at the Jindan stage and above. Its bullets have been specially treated to penetrate the defense of ordinary magic weapons. Within 1.5 kilometers, it is enough to pose a threat to those at the Jindan stage. , once the Jindan early stage is hit, it is almost certain to die.

In the case of being unprepared, the Nascent Soul Stage was sniped, which is also very dangerous. "

Hu Yinglan choked for breath, and asked after a while, "Can I try?"

"Please." Zhang Hao said.

With the help of Feng Dinghu, Hu Yinglan tried to aim through the telescope. But just looking at it, Hu Yinglan was taken aback. Looking through the telescope, the target two kilometers away seemed to be 100 meters in front of her - and this distance can be said to be close at hand for Jin Danqi.

The heavy sniper rifle is slightly adjusted, the center point of the sniper rifle is aimed at the target, and then adjusted a little bit higher.

When the trigger was pulled, Hu Yinglan felt a burst of force erupting from her body, and only heard an explosion the next moment. But two seconds later, nothing happened ahead.

"Missed." Zhang Hao said with a smile, "Let's go, this thing needs special training. They can lie on the ground for more than an hour without blinking."

"Is this an alternative way to kill people without blinking an eye?" Hu Yinglan stood up, praised Feng Dinghu and the others, and walked around the battleship with Zhang Hao before leaving.

In the evening, Zhang Hao and Hu Yinglan took the train to the imperial capital. The goods accompanying the vehicle include a large amount of black iron, artillery and shells, a large number of spare parts (mainly military ballistas), and a few guns and bullets.

Most importantly, Zhang Hao also brought some special gifts - mirrors!

After a period of exploration, the glass factory finally produced a finished product. However, the current glass mirror is only about one foot. But compared to the mirror of the magic weapon of life, this kind of glass mirror is clearer and brighter. The most important thing is perfection!

When the mirror of the magic weapon of life is not in use or activated, it is like a lump of iron. No matter how exquisitely made it is, it cannot compare with a natural mirror.

The train arrived in the imperial capital in the middle of the night. Hu Yinglan returned to the palace with gifts, especially guns and mirrors, while Zhang Hao rested in the mansion outside the palace. As the Minister of National Ocean Development, Zhang Hao also has his own mansion.

Take a short break and start your morning morning at sunrise. Zhang Hao stood in front of the main hall, and he was considered to be the deputy prime minister.

The rest of the officials, such as Zhao Duo, Wu Fanghai, Liu Jingming, Zhou Jue, Xu Jie, Yan Qing, etc., gathered together.

However, Liu Guang, the Minister of Commerce, did not appear.

Following Hu Yinglan's call that His Majesty arrived, Liu Xinyu walked slowly and sat down slowly. The queen's complexion was ugly today, and Zhang Hao could even see the murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

Liu Xinyu sat down and nodded to Hu Yinglan, Hu Yinglan immediately shouted: "Xuan Liu Guang, Liu Junying go to the palace!"

After a while, guards escorted the father and son over.

Looking at Zhang Hao, Liu Guang looked gloomy, and beside him was a young man whom he didn't know, who was in his twenties, with anger on his face.

However, the cultivation bases of the two were sealed.

The imperial guard escorted the two of them there, and they left the hall.

Liu Xinyu sighed: "Liu Guang, I am very disappointed!"

After a short pause, he turned his head and nodded to Xu Jie, "Read out the information about your investigation."

At the beginning of the reform, Xu Jie was temporarily in charge of the supervision department of Qixia Kingdom, and Xu Jie himself was also the Minister of Justice. When it develops in the future, perhaps it will gradually decentralize power.

Xu Jie took out a notebook and began to read it seriously: "Five days ago, we received an anonymous report letter, saying that Liu Junying, the head of the procurement department of Yunying Commercial Bank, had committed corruption and violated the law, and listed his actions in detail.

After two days of forensic investigation, we are convinced that we have the following information:

At the party on January 3rd of the beginning of the year, Liu Junying accepted huge bribes, including top-notch pills, medicinal materials, and spirit stones, which were discounted to about 27 million low-grade spirit stones. Therefore, Liu Junying purchased about 1,860 tons of black iron from seven black iron producers at a price slightly higher than 2% of the market price. However, the quality of these black irons is uneven, and the black irons are lower than the standard purity and quality of black irons of the same level in the market.

On January 16, Liu Junying cooperated with three transport companies to transfer strategic materials such as grain, grass, and luggage. The transshipment data, after recalculation by various methods, is calculated: consumption of freight and labor costs, depreciation costs, etc., the maximum consumption should be 4.78 million low-grade spirit stones.

But Liu Junying actually reported a loss of 34.3 million low-grade Lingshi. For the extra, Liu Junying won 35%, and the remaining three companies were divided according to their scale.

On February 2, Liu Junying took advantage of his position to create a breach of contract through contract traps, blackmailed a supplier, and extorted about 8.4 million low-grade Lingshi.

On February 7th, Liu Junying

...

A total of about 450 million low-grade spirit stones and 45,000 high-grade spirit stones have been earned.

During the entire corruption process, Liu Guang knew about it, and all the stolen money was piled up in Liu Guang's underground secret room.

These are still known. The rest continue to be investigated. It is roughly estimated that Liu Junying's corrupt spiritual stones can reach 70,000 high-grade spiritual stones!

The impact of this incident is very bad, almost shaking the foundation of the country, seriously affecting the image of the country, and hurting the confidence of the majority of industrial and commercial people.

Finished reading. "

Liu Xinyu sighed and turned to look at Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, this is the industry and commerce you advocate. It's only been half a year!"

Zhang Hao's complexion is also not good-looking. As Xu Jie read out the data one by one, Zhang Hao felt his heart twitching. The industry and commerce have only started half a year ago, and about 70,000 high-grade spirit stones have been corrupted—this is almost the entire net worth of the past seven peak masters of the Nascent Soul Stage!

Such corruption is already shaking the foundation of the country! Now the country of Qixia has just started to develop, its foundation is fragile, and the flow of wealth in the whole country is even more numerous; this is also thanks to the pills brought back from the first few voyages, which have gathered the foundation of the country of Qixia.

And in the past few months, because of the blockade of the five eastern countries, Qixia Kingdom has experienced a lot of difficulties again.

At such a critical moment, such serious corruption occurred, and it also involved ministers—senior officials at the level of deputy prime ministers! The impact can no longer be described as 'bad'!

Zhang Hao took a deep breath, and then took a deep breath... Take a deep breath... Then he walked up to Liu Guang step by step, and asked in a deep voice: "Liu Guang, why do you need so many spirit stones? Is the salary usually given to you not enough?"

Liu Guang was dumbfounded and speechless.

"Slap!" Zhang Hao suddenly made a move and slapped Liu Guang. The slap was very loud, and five finger marks appeared on Liu Guang's cheeks, which became red and swollen.

Everyone was shocked!

"Zhang Hao! You are courting death!" Liu Junying roared angrily.

Zhang Hao turned around silently, looking at a group of new officials—most of these were newly promoted, and they were representatives of the industrial and commercial class.

Zhang Hao looked around and roared in a low voice: "Unbelievable bastards! Your Majesty has worked so hard to support you and give you a chance, and you will repay His Majesty like this?

What did you guys do in the past? Unable to hold his head up, he was oppressed, exploited and humiliated by the nobility every day.

Now that you finally have the opportunity to be the masters of your own family, you can't even hold on for half a year, and you start to degenerate!

Do you think that if you can't be a master, it's better to be a slave? "

"In front of His Majesty today, I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Let's not talk about national righteousness such as the prosperity of the country and everyone's responsibility. Let's talk about ourselves!

I, Zhang Hao, was born in a small family, and I have been exposed to the exploitation of my family since I was a child. We have money, but we have no status. In the eyes of those nobles, we are a bunch of pigs. As long as they are fat, they can be slaughtered!

I can not be reconciled.

Why do we work so hard, but we can only be exploited helplessly, and we will never have a bright future!

It happened that the country was in trouble, and I tried my best to seize the opportunity to bring hope to the industrial and commercial class.

I succeeded, and under His Majesty's wise direction, we created a nation like no other, a nation dominated by the business class. We killed the nobles! Killed the family! Killed the sect!

The moment His Majesty came to the throne, I thought, we can finally hold our heads up as human beings, because we are no longer the target of being exploited. Even we started to participate in nation building.

But, is this how you build your country?

Liu Junying is corrupt, it is impossible for the people around him not to know! Why only now? "

"Why do we participate in national construction? Isn't it to make our lives better! Corruption and injustice can make your lives better?"

Zhang Hao was really angry. Corruption occurred in half a year, and it was still such a huge amount. If this is counted as the current banknote, it is a full 45 billion yuan! So far, Lvzhou Bank has not issued enough banknotes—most of them are certificates of deposit.

Zhang Hao roared around, then turned to look at Liu Xinyu: "Your Majesty, do you know the biggest difference between the nobles and the ordinary industrial and commercial class?"

Liu Xinyu narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "I don't know!"

"You can kill!" Zhang Hao's words revealed a trace of coldness, "Your Majesty, if you are a nobleman, I'm afraid it's not easy to do it. But in the industrial and commercial class, there are actually no nobles, everyone is common people."

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew up in the hall.

And that Liu Junying screamed even more, and fell limp.

He really didn't expect that a corrupt person could lead to death! In his cognition, at most it was just some punishment. Speaking of which, Liu Guang and Liu Junying still have a little bit of royal blood, although it is a bit far away.

Liu Xinyu slowly raised her head to look at Liu Guang and Liu Junying, her eyes became colder and colder.

Liu Guang really panicked, and knelt down with a puff: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please see for the sake of the old slave's years of hard work..."

"Slap!" Zhang Hao turned his head and slapped Liu Guang again. Everyone was surprised again.

Slowly withdrawing his palm, Zhang Hao sighed: "Shame on you! Have you been a slave for a long time, and you have lost all your bones?"

Turning his head, Zhang Hao said to Liu Xinyu: "Your Majesty, the Qixia Kingdom is just a remote and small country, and courage and blood are our few resources.

Please Your Majesty kill Liu Guang and Liu Junying to rectify the country. "

However, Liu Guang was really panicked, and he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, you can't let Zhang Hao manipulate you! Now that Zhang Hao's momentum has been achieved, His Majesty's authority has been endangered! Your Majesty, you must not be fooled!"

Zhang Hao's face quickly darkened.
