As early as the beginning of May, the phenomenon of "too much water" this year became more and more obvious, so Han Qi, who has been rectifying the river, increased the amount of cement ordered.

Now Han Qi really believes it, the so-called penny is worth the goods, cement is good everywhere except for the price pit, but when it comes to the price, it is not much more expensive than glutinous rice milk, but the quality is much better than the glutinous rice milk used to build the Great Wall.

In addition to being almost once and for all, it can also greatly improve the efficiency of construction. If there is enough cement, the number of service workers can be cut by at least half. This not only does not arouse public resentment, but also frees the service workers to production.

It's a pity that it's too late to build a production line now, even if Han Qi increases procurement at any cost, the transportation volume is too small without a train.

Old Han was in a hurry.

Han Qi's characteristic is that he wants to do something as soon as he is in a hurry, not necessarily to play a role, but just to do something. So this time, this batch of grain transportation is the largest in history, and Han Qi personally came to Funing County.

The reconnaissance cavalry who was monitoring the outside of Funing County saw that the grain transport team had a Korean flag, and ran back to report the news, Wang Yan heard the news and organized a guard of honor to greet him, but it was Han Qi's team that had already arrived at the construction site of the outer city wall of Funing County.

After meeting politely, Wang Yan carefully looked at the most powerful minister in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Yes, he is really a tiger, a person who can fight on a horse and do things on a horse, the reason why he is said to be the most powerful minister in the Northern Song Dynasty is because he is a minister who cares about his life in the two dynasties. Being a prime minister is brilliant, but the power of the prime minister is big and small, the prestige is high and low, and the time is long and short. There is an absolute gap between the general prime minister and the "Minister of Care", and this guy is a man of the two dynasties.

Wang Anshi's main controversy is that his reform and reform behavior is more in line with the needs of later generations to summarize the laws of history. But Dayan has always believed that the most powerful prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty is still Han Qi.

Han Qi, who is nearly fifty years old, is actually not old, with a square face, a weathered color but looks young, and his sideburns are all white, but this is not the pot of age, I heard that after the defeat of Haoshuichuan, when he was more anxious and faced the families of the soldiers who died in the war and cried, he became like this overnight, and it has not changed much in the following years.

Ye Wushuang, who came to greet him, hurriedly and respectfully hugged his fists and said, "Meet Xianggong." ”

The intention of this female profiteer is obvious, and she can't be blamed, no one wants to be close to Han Qi.

Han Qi nodded slightly, it was regarded as greeting Ye Wushuang, and then he didn't care about this beauty, turned his head to look at Wang Yan and grinned, his expression was a little weird.

Ye Wushuang didn't see the taste, this dead uncle couldn't even tell the difference between priority and priority? You came for cement, but now it is the young lady who supplies cement and lowers the price of cement!

Thinking about it like this, she really dared to raise the bar with Da Yan, but she didn't dare to be dissatisfied with Han Qi.

After looking at the obscene Yan with a peculiar expression, Han Qi turned his head to look at Ye Wushuang and said, "Is the old man ready for what he wants?" ”

I have never seen such a purchase, but the momentum of not being angry and arrogant also made the young lady a little hairy, and hurriedly said: "The good teacher knows that he has worked overtime to give birth." It is enough to ensure that Xianggong can take all the cement with him when he leaves. ”

Han Qi nodded and dismounted, and everyone followed him towards the city.

Han Qi walked while watching on a whim: "Look at this situation, you two officials and one businessman, the cooperation is not bad, the construction of this Funing County is very good, and the folk customs are especially valuable." ”

Wang Yan did not answer.

Ye Wushuang didn't know how to be honest, and said with a coquettish attitude of a little woman: "Xianggong doesn't know anything about ......"

Han Qi interrupted: "If you have something to say, you don't have to say that the old man is ignorant before you speak, and then you will be slapped next time." ”

Ye Wushuang was embarrassed for a while, but continued to maintain this shameless appearance and pretended to be pitiful: "I am always my daughter's family, I am easy to bully, in this Funing County, I am really bullied by Lord Xiao Wang, and I have nowhere to cry." ”

"I bullied you?" Wang Yan pointed to his nose in horror.

Looking at the situation between them, Han Qi said to Miss Ye with a strange expression: "Next time he bullies you, find a way to tie him up and beat him." However, it is better not to have a farce like this again, which is not conducive to the stability of the DPRK. Although Zhang Fangping is not a good thing. ”

No one could have imagined that Uncle Han Qi could say such shocking words without being familiar with it, and Ye Wushuang and Wang Yan were embarrassed together.

Next, Han Qi didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was going to do, just stopped and stopped, and carefully visited everywhere.

Han Qi is full of curiosity about everything in Funing County, from the city wall construction model to the bucket carried by the little boy in the market, which is a kind of subversion.

In other places, such as Hedong, everyone uses wooden barrels. However, the over-concentrated population during this period led to the fact that timber around the city was not cheap and in short supply, and it was laborious and laborious to make timber barrels, and it would not be practical for too long.

But the special thing about Funing County is that everyone uses iron buckets. I heard that in the coal yard of Beijing, Wang Yan's iron sheet production line was already very efficient in making iron buckets, but it was mainly used for the manufacture of honeycomb coal stoves at that time. And now what Han Qi sees is that it is already a third-generation process, with a lower cost and better quality, and only uses less iron than before, which has become lighter.

These changes from the bottom made Han Qi's heart tickle.

Seeing Han Qi like this, Ye Wushuang hated it so much. These are all things made by Wang Yan Northwest Machinery Factory. Damn, I didn't have these things at the time, but after the smelter was packaged and reorganized into a machine factory, these things were soon on the market.

It just so happens that Funing County lacks wood, and everyone lacks these things, so the supply exceeds demand. So now the machine shop is working overtime to produce. And this is something closely related to the lives of the people, doing this industry is the least risky, and now there are many businessmen in the Suide Military Region who have come to place orders, intending to bring them to the Suide Military Region with a larger population to sell.

The more Ye Wushuang thought about it, the more angry he became, and it wasn't he Wang Yan who had the products, what was so strange about his civilian supplies, why didn't the dead old man Han Qi come to pay attention to my little sister's super awesome coke and cement? This is a question that Ye Wushuang can't figure out.

Of course, thinking about it this way, Ye Wushuang still recognized the changes made by Wang Yan, and it was because of these changes that Ye Wushuang's coal and iron ore were now selling very well. has also begun to show signs of profitability, and it is really Han Qi who said that the cooperation is good.

The last way to the county office, Han Qi's fox tail was exposed, and he took Wang Yan's hand and said: "Hurry up, take out your flintlock pistol and let the old man see it, I heard the rumors of this thing earlier, and no one else cares much about it, but the old man feels that the thing you made is probably a little magical, I want to see the flintlock pistol with my own eyes." ”

Oh, I'll go. It turns out that the dead old man is here for this time?

Ye Wushuang was beating a drum in his heart, and now he finally knew that giving up the smelter for Mao was a stupid move. Damn, the smelter that burned out 300,000 guan was on the eve of dawn, but it was sold by Miss I for 150,000 yuan. Is this different from those leeks in the Bianjing Exchange who play warrants to chase up and down?

The more he thought about it, the more Ye Wushuang felt like a leek, and the big goose was also overpowered.

Wang Yan shook his hand and said: "No, no, no, that thing is amazingly powerful, and it is not appropriate to fire casually, for fear of alarming Xianggong." ”

Han Qi resisted the urge to beat him and said, "Isn't it just to negotiate the price, it's easy to say, but it is just to let the old man see the process with his own eyes." If it's fake, it means that the old man has been fooled, so he will tie you up and beat you. If it's true, congratulations, Hedong's finances are quite generous this year, which can make you earn more money. ”

"Can this really be done?" Wang Yan couldn't help but ask.

Han Qi turned around and pointed at Ye Wushuang's nose and said, "You leave first, and the old man will look for you when necessary." ”

Ye Wushuang left with a heart full of taste.

Han Qi sat down and drank tea again: "The so-called guilt, you now have the secret recipe of the flintlock pistol, it is not good after a long time, even if it is not a weapon in the Great Song Dynasty, there are sequelae." Your father Wang Anshi was an old man's subordinate back then, and I know his temper best, and he must have overcorrected your problems. “

Wang Yan continued to listen.

Han Qi continued, "So your best way is to turn a matter that seems like a secret and conspiracy into a great yang conspiracy. Taking advantage of the loopholes in the law, he made a big show to sell to the officials, such as the old man. This is the solution, you know? ”

Of course, these Wang Yan understood, and said with a smile: "Xianggong is wise." If I take it in my own hands and give priority to supplying my own production capacity, this flintlock pistol may really be a problem when my father is overkill, and I am not of Jinshi blood and I am a problem person. But for the time being, I don't hold it myself, and I sell it to you, so without violating the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, it seems that no one dares to openly question your intentions. ”

"Teachable!" Han Qi slapped the table and said: "That's it, in your hands, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo, will chase you and bite, the reason will be strange, do you believe it or not?" But in my hands, at least these people won't be angry, it's just an ordinary business practice. ”

Wang Yan licked his lips and said: "The first-generation mass production process is indeed mature, and I have personally tested those guns, which cannot be said to be perfect but can be used." But that's not the point, it's about how many orders you place so I can plan the production line...... Feed me what you're going to do. ”

Speaking of this, Han Qi directly pulled him up and said, "Don't talk about it, although my henchmen watched it when you publicly tested the gun, I still have to see it again in person, and then I will say the order." ”

Just try it, if you don't give it to Lao Han, he won't know how powerful my brain is. So he took the old gun that Wang Yan "used", took the second-generation improved version of lead bullet and gunpowder, ordered the Funing Army to impose martial law on the school field, and took Han Qi to test the gun.

This time it will not be made public, it is an internal test.

As soon as he arrived, Han Qi was taken aback, and beat a drum in his heart, didn't he say that the range of five hundred steps was only a little more than that of the Great Song Divine Arm Crossbow?

But this time, Han Qi and his henchmen who witnessed the test of the gun at that time were unexpected, and they looked at each other, because this time the mud bricks were placed six hundred steps away.

"Are you sure this can be hit?" Han Qi asked incredulously.

Wang Yan said embarrassedly: "Eh, the lower official's marksmanship is not the point, there is a chance that I will miss, but you bought a gun instead of mine, and the focus is on the situation after the hit." ”

So, Han Qi and the people under his command fought to breathe, opened their eyes wide, and waited to watch.
