Chapter 389: Buy, Buy, Buy

Lu Huiqing spends a lot of time on government affairs every day, focusing on production, quality, ideology, and everything. He doesn't let go of anything he can catch, he enjoys it, and he likes to do things like Wang Yan. And Wang Yan doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, as long as some things can be run, Wang Yan won't be too demanding, but Lao Lu has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and this second-year scholar who is just an official, his need to pretend to be forced is much greater than Wang Yan's.

Now the civil servants are complaining, saying that winter is coming, and Lu County is more hateful than the big demon king.

In the people, Lu Huiqing is also very prestigious, and now when the people praise the Great Demon King, they usually put Lu Huiqing together to praise.

This is not good, maybe in the future, the big earth will be worshiped by this guy like a god, and it will become a form in which he speaks for him. But it doesn't matter, when it really gets to that point, it means that Da Song has been reborn and no longer needs Da Yan.

In the early period, due to the tense border situation, the production capacity has been adjusted, and the pace of gun manufacturing has been increased, and the degree of production automation has also been improved in recent times, so the gun production has been faster.

The order for the Hedong flintlock pistol, which was originally expected to take nine months to complete, has now been fully completed. The later the batch, the better the quality and the longer the range, for which the Hedong Military Department gave high praise to the Machinery Factory.

Now that Funing County has a population of 13,000 people, the immigrants from Hedong have already been properly settled by Lu Huiqing, and the number of fugitives from all over the country is also increasing.

There was no slander to Pang and the Empress Dowager of Western Xia, as well as Xiao Yanshan of the Liao State, and people from the three places came to urge the flintlock guns.

Lu Huiqing was a little hesitant about this, and really felt that this was a bit similar to a traitorous behavior, so he didn't dare to sell it.

But Da Yan dispelled his concerns and said: "You can sell it, and you have to sell it quickly, the more the better, this is a respite for my Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the core of my diplomacy this time." Now that flintlock pistols are not considered weapons and are not within the scope of the Great Song Dynasty's control, we must step up the manufacture of guns for foreign trade and expand our own technological technology and industrial base. Let it go, and I'll hold it when the sky falls. After I returned to Beijing, I needed a lot of money, I needed to set up many branches, and I needed to expand the scale of running a school. ”

Lu Huiqing licked her lips, but still hesitated: "Why don't you communicate with any of Han Qi, Wang Anshi, and Fu Bi, and at least get a tacit understanding from one of them, and then we start selling guns?" ”

Wang Yan shook his head and said: "No, this kind of problem is justified by the public, and the mother-in-law is reasonable, and it will never be clear, you name it, no one dares to take such a responsibility to approve." There are things that can be done, but not said. Since there is no war, the mutual market is not closed, and the border trade exists by default, then sell, which is not illegal. First of all, we will supply quickly, stabilize the minds of Western Xia and Liao, expand our own industry, and when the imperial court feels that the problem is big and come to stop, then we will stop again, and then make public relations to the imperial court. That's how to deal with it. Rest assured, my Great Song Dynasty court is reasonable, and will not be punished without teaching, this issue is just a controversy and not a real crime, and it can be done before they stop it, this is the role of the imperial court, and it is also the authority of our and other leading officials. ”

"Now that I am selling in a panic, I am expanding production capacity according to the plan, what should I do if the court stops selling it in the future? What about the workers trained during this period, the production lines that have been invested, and the R&D that have been invested? Lu Huiqing said worriedly.

"Isn't there still me here, I will deal with this matter in the capital, and the suspension will only be temporary. Take 10,000 steps back, Han Qi worships the privy envoy, and it is not up to my father to overkill, Han Qi is a person who likes flintlock pistols, and he does not dare to say that the whole army will purchase it immediately, but it is expected to gradually expand the pilot project for redressing. This is the foreseeable sales in the future. ”

Da Yan knocked on the table and said: "Convincing the forbidden army to purchase and change clothes, Han's brain shell is not easy to fool, quality is the key, cost and ease of use are the key." It is necessary to improve these things, and in the future, those traditional armaments sharks will be thrown far away, and there is no secret to these things, and we will continue to accumulate experience to reduce costs, and improve and correct them according to feedback from all over the world. ”

At this point, Lu Huiqing's heart is also bigger, if everything is as the Great Demon King envisions, then it will be useful to continue to expand production investment now, and no matter how large the production capacity is, it will not be enough. So now the orders for Western Xia and Liao are practiced.

"Okay, there is always a risk, so I'll follow the route of Lord Xiao Wang." Lu Huiqing set the tone for this......

According to the spirit of Wang Yan, Lu Huiqing gave instructions to the flintlock pistol workshop of the machinery factory: adjust the process and quickly develop the export version of the flintlock pistol.

This is not profiteer. Compared with the self-use version, the export version is, of course, subject to certain castration and restrictions. There will be absolutely no problem with quality, and it is produced with unified materials and a unified management system. It's just that the rifling is replaced with the old version of the process, and the firing range is very stable and limited to about 500 steps.

Even this would make the mouths of the Tanguts and Liaos smile crookedly, because their thinking was still stagnant, and the information they got at the beginning was that the flintlock pistol used Wang Yan's new version of gunpowder, with a range of four hundred and fifty paces.

The progress of each era will be at a critical point, led by a special person, and now Funing County is standing on the cusp of this change, all of which is brought by Wang Yan.

Including Lu Huiqing, everyone in Funing County is now full of glory, which seems to be the legendary craftsman spirit.

Every time I hear that the Xixia people need top craftsmen, it takes dozens of days to make a gun, and the range is only three hundred steps, and the explosion rate is super high, everyone laughs at the backwardness of the Xixia at the same time there is also a sense of pride, it turns out that in the blink of an eye, my Funing County has been the first in the world, and the enemy is rushing to buy it, and it is regarded as a treasure?

The funny thing is that the real gunmakers are heartless, and they know for themselves that there are still many imperfections in flintlock pistols. But on the contrary, people who don't understand the people are bursting with blind confidence, believing that the things made in Funing County are the highest level of craftsmanship and technology, the first in the world, enough for others to catch up for 50 years.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Dayan really did not engage in local trade protectionism, on the contrary, encouraged everyone to buy things from Suide County and Hedong area, but now people in Funing County do not like to buy things made in other places, as long as the things produced by Funing County themselves can be replaced, the people of Datou only buy those in Funing County.

And these news are spreading more and more widely, which has led to the inertial thinking of the people in the surrounding areas, feeling that they should only enter the lively store when entering the store, and only buy famous brands when buying things. So taking advantage of the withdrawal of Western Xia troops on the border, the horse thieves have disappeared, and Funing County is almost crowded, full of traders at all levels who come and go to order. Whatever they do, they buy, buy, buy. Because objectively speaking, as long as it is made in Funing County, there is basically nothing that cannot be sold in the northwest.

Ye Wushuang is also proud, because she is fishing in troubled waters, and she is also considered "made in Funing County", so in addition to the main business such as ore, coke, cement, etc., many sideline products she developed in the later period also sold very well, but only limited to the bottleneck of population and labor, and now there are no workers, she can't produce more.

Railways are also on the agenda, and they must be fastened as soon as possible.

After Miss Ye went out to negotiate, Suide County had no problem and had already negotiated. The right of way belongs to Funing County, and in principle, the Northwest United Investment Bank undertakes the construction of the railway. But there seems to be a variable in this point, because there is news, this time the little uncle Cao Ji personally went out, originally that guy has not been optimistic about the northwest, but now he is on the way to Funing County, the grandson will only have one thing to do: do business......
