Chapter 84: Crisis

No matter what the reaction of the wealthy and ordinary people in Yu'er Town was, Mr. Wang happily went to the two cement factories to take care of the hydraulic machinery like a shopkeeper.

No way, who let him give birth to three capable sons.

The eldest son Wang Changmu and the eldest grandson Wang Youzhen have been working hard to formulate strategies during this time.

With the strategy formulated by the eldest son Wang Changmu and the eldest grandson Wang Youzhen, the old man Wang didn't have to think about anything, and he didn't need any trouble.

As long as the eldest son and eldest grandson do what they want to do, it is fine.

Regarding the matter of weapon fighting, there is no need for Old Man Wang to worry about it, and the third son, Wang, will hire a hand to handle this matter.

The silver needed in this process, if it was placed in the past, would definitely make the Wang family worry about it.

The last thing they lack now is silver, and there is also a second son Wang Yanren who is proficient in trading, no matter what he lacks, he can buy it for you.

Just when rumors were circulating outside, they were all ridiculing and ridiculing Old Man Wang for not knowing the height of the sky.

The entire Wang family is dealing with this matter step by step, without the slightest panic, but very leisurely.

Wang Changmu took a few classmates to do ideological work before the war.

Wang Yanren began to stock up on various things, mainly to calculate the bereavement and rewards that should be given after this fight.

Wang Laipin led the thirty villagers under his command and practiced as usual.

There is no increase in drills or fewer drills because of the arrival of a fight.

It's like nothing happened, there's no fighting.

Wang Youzhen also returned to the industrial school, and carried out various experiments in the industrial school that had begun to build a tall earthen wall.

The main research was carried out on the steam engine, which was the source of all the power of the first industrial revolution.

When the steam engine was invented, China officially entered the industrial age during the Ming Dynasty.

More than a hundred years earlier than in the West.

A lot of green bricks and green tiles were used in the courtyard of the school, and a total of three were built.

They are Wang Changmu's Mao Society, Wang Laipin's lecture hall, and Wang Youzhen's industrial school.

These three schools, which have a lot of green bricks and green tiles, have been built a month or two ago, near the fence yard.

The three schools are not far apart, the Mao Institute is in the north, the lecture hall is in the middle, and the industrial school is in the south.

The distance between the two schools is only one or two hundred steps, which is also convenient for the villagers of the martial arts hall to patrol back and forth between the three schools.

As for the original three fence yards, Wang Youzhen was not ready to dismantle them, so he stayed near the Tujia courtyard.

It is estimated that in a few decades, these three fenced courtyards should become popular places of interest.

Just seven or eight days after everything was going according to plan, something big suddenly happened.

The bird guns in the hands of the villagers were blown up one after another, and more than 20 bird guns were completely damaged and could not be used.

If this were in normal times, it would have been enough to have a fight, and there were still seven or eight days left.

Such an incident happened at this joint, which immediately alarmed all the ancestral patriarchs.

The patriarchs of the ancestral hall wore red scarves and people's armbands, and once again gathered in the warehouse house.

Patriarch Jiao, who was more impatient, preemptively said, "Are the children injured?" ”

The matter that Patriarch Jiao said was also the one thing that other ancestral patriarchs were most concerned about.

As for the matter of the bird gun exploding, the patriarchs of the ancestral hall had already expected it in their hearts.

The reason why there are few firearms equipped with bird guns is that it takes a long time to release them.

Another very important reason is that these bird guns are easy to blow up, and they blow up their hands before they can kill the enemy.

In this way, the border army did not dare to use the bird gun, and even if they used the bird gun, they wrapped their hands in several layers of cotton cloth, fearing that their hands would be blown off.

Wang Laipin had already considered this problem and made thirty pairs of cowhide gloves in advance.

These cowhide gloves not only use two layers of cowhide, but also stuff a lot of cotton inside, just to prevent the bird from blowing up Xiang Yong's fingers after the explosion.

In this world, if you blow up your finger or arm, you will become a cripple, which is basically no different from death.

Every family can't get enough to eat, but they don't have the surplus food to feed the idlers.

Wang Laipin said solemnly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured, no one has injured their fingers." ”

The patriarchs of the ancestral hall were all relieved when they heard this, but this breath was only a sigh of relief, and then there was something even more burning - weapon fighting.

The atmosphere in the house changed in an instant, and there was no more ease in facing the green hand shopkeeper, and they all frowned sadly.

They dared to fight with the green hand shopkeeper, and even took the initiative to provoke this matter.

The biggest reliance is the flintlock pistol, and when the dung section was first exterminated, the power of the flintlock pistol had already been seen.

That's why all the ancestral hall patriarchs of the three villages are so relaxed, and they are so sure that they will be able to win the green hand shopkeeper.

Wang Youzhen looked at the hall where the atmosphere was getting thicker and thicker, and he couldn't help but sigh.

But it didn't shake his resolve, not at all.

When he was in charge of the laboratory to do experiments, he didn't know how many times he encountered such an unexpected situation.

This kind of thing is unavoidable, and no one can predict the future situation, let alone respond in advance.

Regarding the matter of the bird gun blowing up, Wang Youzhen has also been mentally prepared for a long time.

It can even be said that the incident of the bird's gun blowing up also gave Wang Youzhen a lot of surprises.

Daming does not have industrial machinery such as punch and boring machines, and the birds are all made by craftsmen by hand.

In this way, not only is it inefficient, but the bird guns are basically a little shoddy.

The bird guns in the hands of the villagers were able to last until today before they exploded, all because of the results of Jiao Miao's improvement.

Wang Youzhen had already asked his grandfather before, and he knew what kind of virtue the bird gun in the hands of the border army was.

If you use it at most, it will blow up after fifty or sixty times, and some will even blow it up after only one or two uses.

But in any case, it would not be a good thing for the atmosphere in the hall to continue like this.

Wang Youzhen couldn't help but look at his father.

Wang Changmu sat on the main seat and remained silent.

When all the ancestral patriarchs stopped talking, they suddenly shouted: "Who are we doing all this for?" ”

All the patriarchs of the ancestral hall subconsciously replied: "The people." ”

After the ancestral hall patriarchs said this, their eyes became firm again.

From beginning to end, Mr. Wang Changmu never deceived them about anything.
