Chapter 12: It's starting to be powerful

"Hmph, I didn't expect this kid to know how to buy people's hearts."

When Sun Kewang found out about the situation in the courtyard, he couldn't help but sneer, and immediately led people towards the county office.

As a result, it didn't take long for Qin Yu to be invited to the county government by Zhang Xianzhong, and he was scolded for splitting his head.

If it weren't for the fact that the boys' clothes were too small for adults to wear, they would have to be confiscated.

If it weren't for Qin Yu's oath to the sky, he would never have eaten dry rice at a time, and he would never let go of eating, and the grain would have been confiscated.

Out of the county office, Qin Yu was unhappy, how to eat and spend the food and silver he robbed, it was a matter of his eight kings!

Didn't the guards of the other battalion eat dry meals at the same time?

However, when people are under the eaves, they have to pinch their noses and admit it, and decide to keep a low profile in the future.

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong did not blame Qin Yu for being a loser, but blamed him for doing this, which made people panic and caused the army to feel uneasy.

In the following days, the firearms battalion was much more low-key, the clothes and pants were tattered and matched, and they would never be worn together, and a hundred people took turns to play barefoot.

When eating, the courtyard gate is closed tightly, and people are sent to stand guard, and whenever a foreigner visits, the rice is immediately replaced with gruel.

But even so, Zhang Xianzhong still cut off the food supply of the firearms camp and asked Qin Yu to take the beautiful woman back to the county government for dinner.

Qin Yu's heart sank to the bottom, and that little bit of grain can't be eaten for long!

I had to hurry up and build weapons, but fortunately, Liu Lao's blacksmith shop was finally free.

"Leader Xiao Qin, this spearhead is unheard of, are you sure you want to fight like this?" The old man looked at the sample of the spear made of wood, and his brow furrowed.

"Yes, just fight like this, Liu Lao, how much do you think I can fight with more than two hundred catties of iron?" After Qin Yu finished speaking, he beckoned and ordered someone to carry a basket of wrought iron over.

"This, it depends on the grade of the gun head, if it is average, it is estimated that it can hit seventy or eighty handles, and if it is good, it can only hit forty or fifty handles."

Old man Liu looked at the wrought iron in the basket, and said with a thought in his heart.

"In this way, then it's better to play a little better, this is five taels of silver, I don't know how long it will take?"

Qin Yu hesitated, but decided to seek quality over quantity, and after speaking, he took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it over.

"Hehe, the leader of Xiao Qin is polite, but the old man is disrespectful, it should be about seven or eight days." Old man Liu took the silver and hugged his fists, his thin old face full of smiles.

"This is as it should be, it is natural to help people work and receive wages, then you work hard, and I will come back in eight days."

Qin Yu waved his hand, and then hugged his fists and said goodbye.

After Qin Yu left, the two apprentices immediately came up happily.

"Master, this little Qin leader is so kind, he actually gave a full five taels of silver, can you let me touch it?"

"Master, let me touch it too!"

"What are you touching? How many times have you been taught by your teacher? Hurry up and get to work. ”

Old man Liu hurriedly put the silver into his arms, and then came up on the head.

The two apprentices had to get busy again.

Immediately, the sound of ping-pong iron sounded again.

The next day, Qin Yu couldn't help but go to the blacksmith shop to check, and knocked on the two beaten gun heads, and his mouth was so happy that he couldn't close it.

At the same time, I also admired the craftsmanship of this old man Liu, with his handwork, he actually made the three-edged military thorn decent, and the sound quality was obviously good.

"Hehe, Leader Xiao Qin, how is it? Are you still satisfied with the old craftsmanship? ”

"Satisfied, satisfied, by the way, Old Liu, I wonder if you will build a fire gun?"

Qin Yu immediately looked at him expectantly.

The old man's face changed, and he quickly shook his head and said: "Leader Xiao Qin said that he laughed, only the craftsmen in the army who specialize in making firearms can do it. “

"No, it won't!" Qin Yu looked at the three-edged gun head in his hand, staring at him with some disbelief, this level was about to catch up with the machined one.

"Leader Xiao Qin, the old man really doesn't know how to build any firearms, don't force each other yet!" The old man clenched his fists and pleaded.

If he had known this, he would not have shot such a good gun.

"Old Liu, I know your concerns, don't worry, I will never talk to anyone, you quietly help me fight, this is five taels of silver."

Qin Yu took a step forward, lowered his voice a little, and took out five taels of silver from his arms and stuffed it into his hand, this time he was really bankrupt.

"It's... Leader Xiao Qin, I haven't seen that fire gun old man before, he really can't fight! ”

The old man looked at the five taels of silver in his hand, and looked embarrassed, but he was obviously a little moved.

"It doesn't matter, I can draw you a drawing, that is, the barrel is more difficult to build, I tell you, you are like this..."

Qin Yu waved his hand and patiently explained to him.

That is, the iron is first beaten into a thin iron sheet, then an iron rod is rolled and beaten repeatedly, and then the interface is wrapped with an iron piece, and then the iron sheet is continued to be rolled and beaten, and finally the gap is wrapped with an iron sheet, a total of three layers.

After the shooting, use a drill bit to drill the inner diameter of the iron pipe to the same size, and a gun barrel is formed, which is also the most time-consuming.

After listening to Qin Yu's story, the old man looked at him in surprise, and finally shook his head.

"Although according to the method of the leader of Xiao Qin, it should be feasible, but it is estimated that the old decay must be built with good fine iron, and I am afraid that these two hundred catties of wrought iron may not be able to refine ten catties of fine fine iron."

"Old Liu, take a look at my knife, but it is made of fine iron?"

Qin Yu hesitated slightly, then choked and pulled out the short knife that Li Dingguo had given him.

"Well, a good knife, I'm afraid that the material is no less than twenty refined steel, Leader Xiao Qin, are you really willing to melt it?"

The old man stroked the knife in his hand, admired it, and then looked at him.

"How reluctant? Come on, melt now! ”

Qin Yu gritted his teeth, he practiced knives every day, but he couldn't find the feeling, it was better to use it to fight a musket.

If you have a musket in hand, at least when you go head-to-head with Sun Kewang, you won't be hacked to death.

Old man Liu saw that Qin Yu said this, and although he scolded him in his heart, he also decided to go out and help him fight.

After the contact in the past few days, he also has some understanding of the character of this Xiao Qin leader.

Compared with the general long knife, this knife is more delicate and shorter, but there are still four catties in weight, and it is more than enough to play a handcuff, after all, the third layer can be wrapped with other iron.

Of course, as a commander, Qin Yu can't build a long fire gun and carry it on his shoulders all day long, which is undoubtedly not much different from a small soldier, so what he wants to build is a handcuff.

Just a stick of incense from the overseer, Qin Yu felt tasteless, took a few shots of spears, and left.
