Chapter 296: Flintlock Pistol

In the past few days, Ye Wushuang has been quite lost, suffering from gains and losses, and even physical and mental suffering. Poke Wang Yan's backbone all day long and curse.

Ye Wushuang is just a woman after all, in order to complete the "trial" within the family as soon as possible, come up with good-looking report data. Like the inherent bureaucrats of the Great Song Dynasty, she packed up the smelters that were not profitable but burned a lot of money.

But later, Ye Qinghua wrote a letter to scold Ye Wushuang, "This is the stupidest operation in your life."

Speaking of which, if other Ye family disciples did this, they were refrigerated by Ye Qinghua. It is said that the Ye family's countless sisters-in-law, eldest sons, and talented sons were refrigerated in turn in this way. However, in this matter, Ye Qinghua showed almost brainless tolerance to Ye Wushuang, and comforted his niece and said, "Since it has become a fact, don't think about it, don't raise the bar against that kid in the short term, you will suffer, the current situation can only step up cooperation with him, and increase the Ye family's business and his binding in another situation, that is, reduce the price of coke supplied to him."

Ye Wushuang felt that this was like an operation after being fed, young lady, I wouldn't raise the price to let him know that it was powerful, and sell it to him at a reduced price?

Ye Qinghua's point of view is that reducing prices and expanding production capacity is a means to prevent others from entering the coke industry, including Wang Yan. At the same time, we can accumulate our own technical and management experience. That kid has an obsession with "self-reliance", and as soon as you raise the price, you will force him to find new sources of ore and build new coking plants. Don't think that he really doesn't have funds, as his situation in the northwest gradually opens, his financial status will only improve, others may not dare to invest in hindsight, but in another half a year, Cao Ji will definitely be able to understand the potential of the northwest. Although the main investment object of Cao Ji's coal and coke company is the Bianjing coal yard, it is estimated that there are still two million yuan of idle cash. This is a sum of my Ye family's opponent funds in the northwest, which can bring subversion.

Yes, for the time being, even if the current coke is good, only Wang Yan, the money-free boy who burns money for research and development, is buying it.

There is no other reason, expensive. So there is no market.

Of course, the Ye family has connections and channels, but within the Suide Military Region, whether it is those private workshops or the government coinage department, they are not very willing to buy coke.

The Suide Army officials relied on the face of the Ye family and bribes to buy a batch of coke for attempt. Of course, they don't do high-end casting, and second, they don't care about the quality of smelting that coke brings. They mainly mint some iron money for circulation, and also make some simple agricultural tools for sale, so they have no demand for quality, only price sensitive, and there is no motivation for industrial upgrading.

The biggest obstacle is Li Shen.

Many of Li Shen's policies seem to be painful, but he is also a cool official who doesn't recognize his relatives and doesn't take bribes. So the coke purchased by the Suide Army officially after receiving Ye Wushuang's kickbacks was later stopped by Li Shen.

The official road does not work, so it can only rely on private workshops. But these mound-like workshops have no brand effect at all, they only have a low-end customer base, such as Zhanzhao Bai Yutang, who does not care about price and only values quality, and will not buy things from those backward workshops in the Northwest Suide Military Region.

So for the time being, in addition to Ye Wushuang's coke being sold to his own cement factory, his biggest customer is Wang Yan, and there is nothing else.

Not to mention the internal digestion of the cement factory, the only way to stimulate Wang Yan to buy more and use more is to reduce the selling price. This is Ye Qinghua's decision.

Ye Qinghua knows the potential of coke better than anyone else, and it is definitely the mainstay of the next generation of energy. Therefore, now it is difficult to sell, the price is low, and the situation of operating at a loss is actually to prevent those traditional coal bosses in Cao Ji from entering the industry.

With Wang Yan's urine, there is no doubt that the entire coke production process will eventually be decrypted and everyone can enter.

Therefore, Ye Qinghua knows better than anyone that in the future, the competition in this industry is not the secret recipe, but the advanced management and technology. Then there is no secret to get this opportunity, martial arts to practice, management experience and process flow rely on others before starting, a large number of repeated production, naturally reduce costs, master experience and technology.

So Ye Qinghua reminded Ye Wushuang: Don't be entangled in short-term profits, volume is king. After Wang Yan withdrew from the industry, his technical process stopped at the second generation on the drawings, and we must accumulate the second generation and a half generation of technology by ourselves before Cao Ji purchased Wang Yan's second generation process, so as to maintain the advantage of the Ye family's leader.

So in this way, the price of coke suddenly dropped, and the energy cost of Wangyan Machinery Factory began to decrease......

The Great Song Dynasty had gunpowder.

However, due to the wrong formula, the power of gunpowder was very frustrated. To change this very frustrating recipe is of course very simple, in an afternoon, you can get the best ratio of black powder.

Of course, Wang Yan's black powder is actually very frustrating, and it is better than that of the Great Song Army, and the bonus is about 20%. This still needs to be explored, not that there is a ratio data that can come up with full blood black powder.

To rely on this frustrated gunpowder to make explosive packs and grenades?

It's okay to wash and sleep, it's scary, but black powder is not TNT, and the explosive bags made of black powder are so large that people can't carry them, and they may not be able to blow up a soil-based workshop. That's just the way it is.

However, when the muzzle velocity was not required, the caliber of the flintlock pistol was not large, and the mass of the bullet was not large, Wang Yan's modern gunpowder formula was enough to push the flintlock pistol.

The first flintlock pistol is a high-quality product, in addition to the barrel, many other places are also forged by Lao Luo Dad himself, even the barrel is based on Wang Yan's requirements, and Lao Luo Dad personally polishes and corrects it.

The butt of the gun is even more exquisite, which is made of wood that is almost a god's arm crossbow technology, and it is also carved with patterns.

In addition, limited to the current steel process, the strength of the barrel is not enough, so the barrel also needs a wooden support, which is like a muscle to support the barrel from injury and deformation.

On the whole, the first flintlock pistol of the Great Song Dynasty is the best of the best, not necessarily very powerful, but it can be used as a novelty luxury collection......

In the afternoon, the undisciplined big goose organized many representatives of the people and workers of the machinery factory to watch the test gun.

Good things should be used for publicity, which is another brain hole and miracle for everyone to witness the big bird, so that everyone can worship and trust the big bird one step closer.

So hundreds of people looked at the strange and never-before-seen thing in the hands of the county magistrate unconsciously.

Now when he sees the Great Demon King Cao Qing, he feels annoyed, he actually fools the female Taoist priest to make peace?

But Cao Qing couldn't help but come to watch with curiosity this time, because there were rumors everywhere in the street market two days ago that another miracle of Wang Yan was about to be revealed, and it would be an artifact that subverted the way of war.

Cao Qing now wants to see what more magical things the Great Demon King can have after cement?

Thinking about it like this, she stared at the long strip in Wang Yan's hand, trying not to think about anything else. But it seems that this kid is really the magic star of her life, and she always makes Miss Cao's thoughts run all over and think of some irritating questions.

Ye Wushuang also came with her people, and waited for a long time to see.

This made the atmosphere of the scene very awkward for a while. The conspiracy between Cao Qing, Ye Wushuang and Wang Yan is not a secret at the moment, and many people know it: Cao Qing and Ye Wushuang are incompatible, Cao Qing and Wang Yan have heart disease, and Ye Wushuang and Wang Yan also have heart disease. It's a bit messy.

The atmosphere was very serious, and everyone was looking forward to it, but after waiting for a long time, I still saw Wang Yan taking this rag and masturbating 1, and did not start.

Yes, everyone's adjective for Wang Yan's current behavior is: masturbation 1 tube.

He did wipe the barrel with a rag, but he didn't fire.

Cao Qing, who was the most angry and impulsive towards him, urged unceremoniously: "My lord called everyone to watch the miracle, why don't you start it?" ”

"Let's get started, we're all busy. You have an official to do, but there are many affairs within my investment bank waiting for me to deal with, at your request, I have brought many people to watch, please don't delay too much time. Ye Wushuang seemed to have some kind of special need, and he also followed Cao Qing to question Da Yan in public.

Mu Guiying was very annoyed by this kind of behavior of raising the bar in public, but they were not subordinates, and their status and identity were complex and special, so they had to suppress their anger.

Zhan Zhao looked at Wang Yan pretending to be forced. It's no problem that Daxia is Wang Yan's subordinate, but he hates his style of dominating all occasions very much, so Zhanzhao is happy to see a few beautiful women raising the bar with him without pain.

Miss Cao privately called him the Great Demon King, and Zhanzhao also thought it was appropriate.

Zhan Zhao is a young man after all, and he can't change his characteristics of pretending to be forced in front of beautiful women, seeing that Ye Wushuang and Cao Qing couldn't get off the stage in person, Zhan Zhao also seized the opportunity and said: "Please quickly verify your so-called subversive war thing." The last general has always thought that swords, bows and arrows are so easy to use and mature, why did you spend a lot of money to tinker with this thing during the extremely tight period of resources in Funing County? ”

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "You don't know anything about power, I want you to be in a hurry, no." ”

Zhan Zhao and Ye Wushuang began to roll their eyes.

Cao Qing and Mu Guiying almost fainted in anger, and the Great Demon King actually started to play hooligans in front of hundreds of people?

Little Bell has been a staunch supporter of Da Yan since he surrendered, and said: "Girl, I don't know what this is, but it's amazing to look at, but all the ideas made by my father and adults are extremely magical." ”

The long wait also attracted some questions from other people about the county magistrate, and the representatives of the people who were watching also began to be a little anxious and were talking to each other.
