After looking at the target, the old blacksmith said: "Lord Baihu, in fact, I think our fire gun should be very strong!" I think I should be able to break through the armor in about 100 steps. Because the scales we use are very fine! Therefore, the various parts made are tightly occluded, and there is not much air leakage. Hundred households may wish to try. ”

Liu Pei took the firearm and stroked it up and down and said, "It's really a good gun!" Well done! There's something for everyone this month! The master craftsmen each had 50 taels of silver. The apprentice also has five taels of silver! ”

The two blacksmiths looked embarrassed. The boss said: "This kind of fire gun is not easy to produce. The difficulty is mainly on the gun! Because the amount of fire gun charge that adults want is larger than that of the fire gun in the guardhouse, you can only use the drilling method to build it, not the iron rolling method! ”

The drilling method is to drill the chamber directly with a drill on an iron rod. Because the pipe made by this method is one-piece, there are no weak points, so it is the most strong and durable. But this practice takes a long time. Now there are only 5 people in the entire blacksmith shop who can drill a pipe! It was the blacksmith brothers and their three sons.

The old blacksmith thought for a while and said, "Lord Baihu, your method is indeed very good, but we don't need it now!" Because now there are only five of us who can drill the pipe. By the time we drilled out 5 guns, everyone else had already punched out a lot of other parts. ”

The old blacksmith shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there is no good way to do it except to recruit more skilled hands!" If you can find more old craftsmen who can drill pipes, maybe the speed can be increased. ”

Just when Liu Pei was thinking about where to find a blacksmith, the blacksmith brother stepped forward and said, "Lord Baihu, if you are willing to spend money, you can still recruit at least five skilled blacksmiths." ”

The blacksmith said with a wry smile: "My lord, have you forgotten how our two families came here? ”

The younger brother said: "Naturally, I dare!" There is basically no work to be done in the guard now. Everyone makes a living by making some farm tools for the outside. As long as the adults are willing to spend money to get these people back, the production of firecrackers will definitely increase a lot. And their sons and nephews are also blacksmiths, and after they have practiced their craft, there are even more people who can drill pipes! Even if you can't drill the gun, you can also create other weapons and armor accounts. ”

After a busy day, Liu Pei is ready to go home and sleep well. After sending his entourage home. He lay on it and began to rummage through the lockbox with the information. Flipping through Liu Pei, I found a very useful message. That is, there will be a violent earthquake in Jinan and Dongchang next year. The scope of influence is very vast! Countless displaced people have been created out of thin air.

In the end, Liu Pei only came up with a solution, which was to buy land quickly and prepare to resettle those displaced people. Now that Liu Pei has bought all the wasteland in the surrounding villages, it seems that this time it will cost a lot of money. But there are benefits to spending the money. These outcasts would become villagers under his rule, providing him with food, food, and valuable soldiers. As long as the more people he has under him, the stronger he will be! So Liu Pei simply got up and began to take stock of his family, ready to start buying land on a large scale.

Those wastelands can be directly handed over to the displaced people to open up wasteland. And barren mountains won't really be barren. But on the mountain, fruit trees are planted and chickens are raised. All of this can provide a stable life for the displaced people. It's just that what makes Liu Pei regret is that the wasteland, which can be developed very simply, has long been in the hands of the local gentry, and they have been bought and slowly cleared up. Therefore, it is not that the land that Liu Pei bought cannot be cultivated, but the cost of reclamation is very high.
