Qian Xinyao just reported a project that must be spent.

Cai answered next to him: "It's not cost-effective to make alcohol from grain, Yinan City uses hemp roots to make alcohol, and it still needs 500,000 improved equipment." Also, the sheep intestine needs to be studied again, and an additional 150,000 pieces are needed. ”

Qian Xinyao continued: "Yan Zhou sent a letter, saying that the hydraulic loom already has eyebrows, please pay. ”

"Really?" Shadow came to the spirit.

Qian Xinyao still closed her eyes and said slowly: "On Yan Zhou's letter, my seventh senior brother asked the thirteenth senior uncle, as well as the craftsmen of my Qian family, thinking that it should be added to the steel parts in a few positions, and then replaced with graphite copper bearings, and then slowly improved, this is another amount of money." ”

At this time, Qian Xinyao opened her eyes: "My husband's ability to earn money is unparalleled in the world, before I got married, the money was never enough to spend, but now it seems that it is still not enough to spend, am I the legend that I am a loser." ”

Shadow and Aya were stunned for a moment, then laughed together.

They know the account books of the family, and now they have spent too much money and have begun to move the old capital of the Han Mansion.

It's not that Han Jiang is slow to make money, it's that they are too good at spending.

Just a small soldier to a small general under the seat of the Red Emperor, five levels of copper cannons, the cost of the experiment is an astronomical amount. The speed of making money can't keep up with the speed of spending.

Fortunately, all the armies know that the bronze cannons of all levels under the Red Emperor's seat are of great use, and they all support the coins, otherwise Han Jiang alone is really a little unable to hold on.

Leizhou alone supported 30 ships of various spices and 200 ships of grain.

It can be said that Leizhou has made a bloody investment.

Qian Xinyao suddenly changed her words: "All the houses in Lin'an want to stuff people into their homes, what do the two sisters think?" ”

Shadow shook her head.

Cai said, "Write to your father-in-law." ”

"Good. We write together. Qian Xinyao understood that this matter could not be refused immediately, but it must not be agreed to either. Even if you want to agree, what you choose is a combination of interests, and other reasons do not need to be considered at all.

Let's talk about the little general's cannon under the seat of the Red Emperor.

Nishiyama is the Institute of Principles and Feasibility Practice, where research is the main focus and only a very small number of experiments are conducted.

The real experimental field is in Yinan City.

To be precise, it is at the foot of a mountain thirty miles northeast of Yinan City.

Late at night is a good time to experiment.

It's easy to be peeked at during the day, and it's safest at night, even if someone is on high enough to see what's going on here.

At this time, there are three kinds of experiments.

The first type, one hundred and eight Vulcan soldiers.

It was really one hundred and eight cast-iron cylinders, in the form of a chariot, all front-loaded.

Interlocking leads are used. There were thousands of straw men within thirty to a hundred paces, as well as dozens of wild boars mixed in with them.

Standing behind and watching were Liu Huai, Bai Yulou, Lan Hai, Xian Shuangying, and Zhao Sang, who secretly rushed over from the two lakes.

Zhao Sang is Zhao Tang's younger brother and the uncle of Zhao Fang, the current Xiangyang transit envoy.

He was friends with Lu Zuqian in his early years, and he had an old relationship with Chen Liang, and he also belonged to talented people who could not pass the imperial examination. This time, I came to Yinan City on behalf of the Xiangyang side.

The rest of the people, Bai Yulou is the commander of Leizhou, and they belong to the outliers who listen to edicts and do not listen to proclamations to the imperial court. Xian Shuangying is a descendant of the Xian family, Mrs. Xian is his ancestor, Mrs. Xian married Feng Bao, but her surname Xian is still recorded in the annals.

The blue ocean is purely a dead skin and a face.

If you don't let him come, he'll make trouble for you.

Liu Huai handed a torch to Bai Yulou: "Bai Du, the Yue people like to use rattan armor and charge in dense formations. Try it. ”

"Thank you." Bai Yulou took the torch and lit the fuse.

After the lead, there was a continuous and dense sound, and the straw men in front of them fell in pieces, and even the wild boar could not carry it within fifty steps, and died tragically under the dense shotgun.

Bai Yulou liked this kind of power very much, and when he was about to praise it, he heard Lan Hai say: "I'm a rough person, but I've also read books." You can't do this. ”

Several craftsmen had ugly faces.

Lan Hai stepped forward and removed a steel cylinder and held it in his hand, tested the weight, and then gestured: "Lao Tzu has one hundred warriors in each hand, carrying it to the enemy formation, no more ruthless than you taking a cart and pushing this shelf, Lao Tzu used this thing to put on the face of the enemy general, so lightly, it is very pleasant to think about it." ”

This one!

Seems to be right.

Liu Huai's shotgun truck is to put together countless shotguns with a diameter of one and a half inches into a gun carriage, and then fire them together, which is quite amazing.

But what Blue Ocean said seems to make sense.

A craftsman stepped forward: "It is impossible to hold it, this thing cannot be held by ordinary people at all, and it will hurt people." ”

Lan Hai grinned: "You can't do it, it doesn't mean that Lao Tzu's subordinates can't do it." Besides, you can't make a little smaller, a little thinner, don't install a handful of steel balls, it's okay to install a bigger one, half an inch, this thing must hurt when it hits the flesh. ”

"You can try." The craftsmen did not complain.

Because the users of this thing are still soldiers, not them, and the demands of soldiers are what they need to meet.

Liu Huai was afraid that the craftsman would be embarrassed, so he immediately said: "Try the three-inch small general cannon." ”

"Okay."

The crowd had no opinion.

The three-inch cannon is truly valuable, and history has proven the practicality of this thing.

With a range of three and a half miles, the lethality is huge, and it can blast through two earthen walls and one brick wall, using copper lead balls with strength.

Taking a step forward on the blue sea, Xian Shuangying stretched out his hand to take it: "Old Blue, the craftsmen have worked hard day and night. ”

Lan Hai laughed: "It's Lao Lan's mistake, Lao Lan, I originally wanted to say that this thing seems to be useful when placed on a ship, and it is used for a cannon on a ship, and this thing is a little smaller for siege." ”

Boat!

True, the ship is wooden, and such a ship, hit two miles away, will win.

Marine.

The craftsmen didn't think of giving it to the boat at first, so it seemed reasonable for Blue Ocean to remind him.

But how to use it on the ship still needs to consider some details.

Liu Huai stepped forward: "Let's look at the last one." ”

When it comes to the last thing, the craftsmen are confident, because this is a mature process, but with new materials they have improved the object.

It was almost seven times larger than the original Song army.

A woodbird.

To be precise, it was a bamboo bird, a bird made up, and then the bird's belly was filled with all kinds of ignition and explosive gunpowder on the cloth shed, and then four oversized monkeys were placed on the bird's belly.

This thing can fly 300 zhang away at a maximum range and weigh more than 40 catties of bombs.

Or if you want to ensure the accuracy, 150 zhang can be blown up within five steps, if you let an experienced soldier operate, you can ensure that about 200 zhang can also ensure that you can fly within seven steps.

"Good stuff." Blue Ocean won't spray this time.

Because this thing is really good, both in terms of range and lethality.
