Every time Jiannu invaded, a large number of people would be plundered, and among these people there were all kinds of people, of course, there were all kinds of talents, but the most were craftsmen, all kinds of craftsmen, coppersmiths, blacksmiths, carpenters...... Basically, there are 360 lines.

And Zhao Yunfu is a painter, their family has been printing New Year's paintings for generations, both can paint, can also print, of course, will also do business, with this technology to also accumulate thousands of family business, but after Jiannu came, there was nothing, after being plundered by Jiannu to Shenyang, with a skill, in Jiannu's printing workshop specially printed New Year's pictures and other sets of color paintings, but did not suffer any crime. It's just a slave.

After being rescued, Zhao Yunfu was incorporated into the army like everyone else at the beginning, but he was soon brought to Qian Degong because of a random painting, even until now, Zhao Yunfu remembers the angry appearance of the military gate at that time. At that time, he thought he was going to die.

Afterward...... Not only did he not die, but after learning that he could print paintings, the military gate also specially asked him if he could print them.

Subsequently, under the orders of Qian Junmen. Zhao Yunfu rediscovered the apprentices and masters in the Shenyang Printing Workshop, and everyone printed them, and they could print tens of thousands of paintings every day, and those paintings were later sprinkled on Jiannu with sky lanterns.

Later, like others, Zhao Yunfu also retired, but he did not choose a land, even if he could choose a territory by virtue of his merits, but beckoned his apprentices and masters to set up a printing workshop in Dalian, even if he did his old job.

Not to mention, as the first private printing workshop in Dalian, his business is indeed not bad, but he is not satisfied with such a printing workshop.

What more can you do?

At the beginning, he fell in love with fishing and making money by fishing, after all, every household in Dalian eats sea fish, but fishing needs to go to sea, and someone needs to know how to make boats at sea, and the people around him are laymen about it.

A layman must not meddle in the affairs of an insider, having been in business for so many years, of course he knows the meaning of this sentence.

What else is the business.

It was at this moment that his eyes fell on the musket.

In fact, he is no stranger to muskets. Next to the printing workshop in Shenyang is Yu Hengsi's weapon-making workshop, where there are craftsmen who make bird guns, and even in his printing workshop, there are apprentices who can make bird guns.

Although the bird gun is different from the musket, but with a damaged musket, he still found a craftsman to draw a scoop according to the gourd, made the bird gun, set up a workshop, and successfully sold a dozen of them, although the profit is limited, but as he guessed - this thing is very popular.

But unexpectedly, before he could expand his workshop, he was invited by someone from the General's Mansion.

The case, the case......

Trembling into the house, Zhao Yunfu's heart was pinched into a small handful, he hesitated whether to kneel or not, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to kneel, but according to the Qing Dynasty...... No, it's the rule of Jiannu to kneel, whether to kneel or not.

"Grass, grass people Zhao Yunfu see the prince of the world, the prince of the world auspicious ......"

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Yunfu wanted to bite his tongue, this was really used to being a slave, and in addition to being annoyed, he raised his eyes and looked, and his heart suddenly rose up and down.

It's really happened!

Isn't what the prince is holding in his hand a musket made in the workshop?

Looking at the heavy rifle in his hand, although its barrel has been carefully polished, some forging marks can still be faintly seen, especially the gunfire and other parts, and the marks of hammering are clearly visible.

It is indeed a musket made during the Chongzhen period!

Handmade!

I didn't expect someone to copy it so soon. It's not easy, it seems that you can't underestimate these ancients. In particular, these ancient craftsmen should not be underestimated.

It would be nice if it could be made more finely, in fact, Zhu Guoqiang didn't know that the reason why this gun was not fine enough was because the main one was too urgent.

Looking up at the businessman who entered the house, Zhu Guoqiang smiled and spoke.

"Excuse me, sit down."

Although he was given to sit, Zhao Yunfu didn't dare to sit down, he only sat on half of his buttocks, holding his knees with both hands, but his palms couldn't stop sweating.

"You made it?"

"Hui, back to the world, yes, it was made by the craftsmen in the workshop."

"How did you come up with this?"

Zhu Guoqiang asked gently.

Zhao Yunfu, who was taken aback, hurriedly knelt down. Zhu Guoqiang hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him.

"Don't kneel, I'm just asking, but I don't want to pursue anything. Besides, the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit the people from making muskets, I want to ask, how did you think of making muskets, is it easy to sell? ”

Although the military law of the "Da Ming Law" prohibits private vests, pong cards, torches, artillery, flags, and belts that should be prohibited from military weapons. And the private creator is guilty of one more crime.

But I really can't help but be a bird, Franc machine, why...... The bird gun is not a fire tube, and the franc machine is not a gun.

Well, it's a play on words.

Not guilty?

Hearing this, Zhao Yunfu's heart breathed a sigh of relief, but since he was innocent, why did the prince come to him?

"Good, easy to sell......"

Zhao Yunfu nodded and hurriedly replied.

"At that time, the grass people thought that since everyone was scattered to the guard, they would definitely not be able to sleep well without anyone in their hands, what if the Tartars called? Therefore, the musket must be easy to sell, and I happened to know a master who made bird guns, but the bird guns were not as good as the muskets in the army of the prince, and then I found a broken musket and made it according to the appearance......"

Listening to Zhao Yunfu talk about his process of making guns, Zhu Guoqiang sighed a little in his heart, if you count the days, the first musket in Dalian should be made in his workshop.

It's enough to hang up.

Actually, it is not a hanging, except for the firing machine of the rifle, the difference between the musket and the bird gun is not much, at least the barrel is the same. All you need to do is a blacksmith's shop.

And the reason why Zhao Yunfu was able to make a musket so quickly was because he found some skilled workers...... They had all made bird guns before, so they quickly made new muskets.

"Well, it's rare that you can see the business opportunities in this," Zhu Guoqiang's tone was still very kind, and his face was also full of smiles.

"Don't be afraid ......"

"Grass people are terrified......

Zhao Yunfu said in his heart: Seeing such a big man, it's strange not to be afraid!

Zhu Guoqiang smiled:

"That workshop of yours is too small, in this way, I will pay 10,000 taels of silver, find you another place, and then provide some equipment, what about you, continue to make muskets!"

Suddenly, Zhao Yunfu was confused, what does this mean? Continue to make muskets?

What's going on?

"Well, the muskets made in the military factory can only be supplied to the army for a while, as for the people, they can't take care of it for the time being, but the people also need weapons for self-defense, so let's build another factory to make it, you are responsible, count your 20% shares, how about it?"

In an instant, Zhao Yunfu's tears were about to fall!

Not to mention how much silver these two components are worth, just the identity of the lackeys under the door of this world, it is something that ordinary people can't ask for!

"The grass people are willing to die for the prince!"

In addition to being excited, Zhao Yunfu immediately got up and kowtowed to the prince.

Regarding the problems left over from him, Zhu Guoqiang did not correct them, but just smiled:

"Well, the garrison of the guard needs these muskets, if everyone has muskets in their hands, the Tartars will not be able to be arrogant anymore! By the way, you are the first person in Dalian to do musket trading, tell me, what are the shortcomings of this musket at present? ”

In fact, this is just a casual question. There shouldn't be anything wrong with this kind of firing gun. After all, it is an epoch-making "black technology weapon" at the level of the 19th century.

"This ......"

Facing the question of the prince. After thinking about it, Zhao Yunfu replied,

"Lord Shizi, our musket is indeed very convenient, it is very convenient than the bird's gun, no need to fire the rope, no need to worry about rain, and the ignition is even more neat, not as troublesome as the bird's gun...... However, the villain has been in contact with some military households, and they think that our muskets are all good, that is, the fire cap is not good! ”

What the?

At this moment, Zhu Guoqiang was dumbfounded. This fire cap is the core of the musket, and for an era, it is simply equivalent to the black technology of the outer zenith.

They actually think it's not good enough!
