"Paper-cased gunpowder?" Fan Jingwen asked, puzzled. "I beg Your Majesty to enlighten me."
"Place the lead pellet and the gunpowder into the same paper tube. When loading, tear the tube, and insert the gunpowder, lead pellet, and the paper itself into the barrel together. This ensures a consistent charge of gunpowder while simultaneously increasing the speed of the loading process."
Fan Jingwen picked up a matchlock gun and thought about it carefully for a moment. The more he considered it, the more effective the method seemed, and he could not help but begin testing it right there.
