Lin Xiao listened to Nangong Qiang's thoughts, but smiled slightly, and said: "This is a good idea, the defense town is too small, I originally planned to open a few more factories in Qinzhou after the technology matures...... In this way, Nangong Zhuang, how about we simply join forces? We will pay 100,000 taels of Annan silver, and you and I will each have half of the shares, and we should run the affairs, and we will ask the owner with full authority to ask. ”

"It's a good feeling, it's just ...... If you recruit too many people, you won't be able to support so many people if you are idle in the future. ”

Nangong Qiang is still a little worried, in business, he is an expert, he can share the risk, but to run a large-scale physical workshop, he still feels a little tricky, so he is extremely cautious.

"Don't worry, you just have to build a factory and find workers, for now, we can hand over the production of quilts, shoes and socks and tents to you, which is enough for you to be busy for a while."

Lin Xiao smiled at the corner of his eyebrows, and said gently: "In the future, some workers can be diverted out to go to the cement factory and glass products factory that are about to be built, and even a large-scale seafood processing workshop. ”

Sooner or later, Annan's silver will run out, Lin Xiao has long considered the issue of economic resources, and now, it is time to implement it step by step, this first step is to establish the first light industry base in Qinzhou.

"Okay, since Lord Lin has already planned, then there is a bottom in his heart."

Nangong Qiang received Lin Xiao's assurance, and his heart suddenly relaxed, although he had already learned that Lin Xiao was made the Marquis of Qinchuan, they still called him Lord Lin, and felt that this was both smooth and cordial.

"Old shopkeeper He, there is still an important matter in the next place, I want to entrust it to you, I don't know what the old shopkeeper thinks?"

Lin Xiao turned his eyes to look at He Yi and said in a deep voice.

"Lord Lin just orders, and the people will do their best." He Yi said with a smile.

"I plan to recruit a group of literate children from the local and refugee schools in Qinzhou, so as to pass on the knowledge of Western science and technology in our hands and lay a foundation for the reconstruction of the country as soon as possible...... In addition, a town was to be built to train workers in smelters and chemical plants. ”

Lin Xiao slowly put out the idea of running a school: "The old shopkeeper only needs to send someone to choose a place to build in two places, and as for the teacher, I have already considered it. ”

"What's so hard about that? The manpower and materials are ready-made, and Lin only needs to hand over the building style to the small people, and it will be completed within a month. ”

"Okay, then thank you two seniors." Lin Xiao thanked him.

"Lord Lin, Xiaomin and the others came here today, and there is one more thing I want to discuss with my lord......" He Yi frowned lightly.

"The old shopkeeper, please say, Lin is willing to hear the details."

"This ...... That's right, our two families have been married for two years now, and now, the dog is twenty years old, and it is said that the marriage should have been married a long time ago, but ......"

He Yi was a little hesitant, his son He Shouxin is now a soldier, and he also knows one thing about the rules in the team, ordinary soldiers even have strict regulations on family leave, and it is difficult to get permission to marry.

Besides, there are a lot of singles in the army, and even Lin Xiao hasn't gotten married yet, not to mention that his son is just a small platoon commander, so he really can't open his mouth.

When Lin Xiao heard this, he smiled and said: "Yes, old shopkeeper, prepare a suitable time, and I will handle the trustworthy marriage recently." ”

How big a man, when he gets married, will be more responsible!

"Ah, thank you so much, sir." He Yi and Nangong Qiang both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and immediately got up happily and said in unison.

"The two seniors don't have to be polite, this is as it should be, our team is a poor people's team, it is for the people to fight, we are bleeding and working the battlefield, isn't it just so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment?"

Lin Xiao also stood up, smiled and arched his hand: "Although battlefield discipline must be strict, but in this regard, there are not so many fetters. ”

……

Three days later, just after breakfast, Lin Xiao shouted that he wanted to go to Cao Jiawen to test the gun, but Lu Hua couldn't resist him, so he had to help him slowly out of the headquarters compound.

Out of the living quarters, along a concrete road, a short walk to the arsenal, just after a rain at night, the air is exceptionally fresh, with the scent of fresh grass and wildflowers.

Spring in the south came early, just after the New Year, the green curtain has been opened, the spring girl's red cheeks appeared an intoxicating smile, she waved her long sleeves lightly, the grass and trees on the earth were dyed green, the tender green green leaves are dotted with delicate flowers.

The wildflowers and weeds on both sides of the road are full of life, the leaves are as crystal as jade, washed by the rain for some days, and the peach forest on the shore of the Peach Blossom Lake in the distance is already full of pink embellishments.

Lin Xiao thought to himself that if he transplanted some more trees and flowers in the living area in the future, and when these green plants grew up, this place would be as beautiful as a paradise.

Situ was finding a green bamboo cane for Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao staggered along the road with the cane, and felt a jade hand around his waist, a soft ball kept hitting his elbow, and there was a burst of girlish fragrance wafting from his nose, crispy and numb, and he walked even more shaky.

Situ Zheng saw that Lu Hua was struggling to help, so he stepped forward to replace Lu Hua, but was glared at by Lin Xiao viciously, and was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank back.

……

Swaying all the way, although Lin Xiao was struggling, the arsenal still arrived quickly, and seeing Cao Jiawen coming out from afar, Lin Xiao muttered: "Why did you arrive so quickly?" ”

Lu Hua was already out of breath from exhaustion, and glared at him fiercely when he heard this, this guy is still so improper.

Lin Xiao suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and with a cry of "hew~~", he hurriedly jumped away, and begged for mercy with a smile: "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth......"

"So you can still jump?" Lu Huaqiao's face flushed, and she raised her hand and said coquettishly, this bad seed is a little bad when he laughs, but it is really attractive.

"You forced it." Lin Xiao raised his hands and shouted, even throwing away the green bamboo cane, is this, afraid that Lu Hua will not be able to beat him? .

Seeing this, Cao Jiawen stepped forward with a smile and hurriedly helped the big boy in.

As soon as he entered the workshop, he saw five new guns neatly placed on the workbench, Lin Xiao approached, picked up one, and looked at it carefully.

This is a flintlock pistol that has been loaded with flint, the brand-new barrel emits a beautiful ghostly light, Lin Xiao turned the muzzle, looked in, and found that there was rifling engraved inside, turned his head and asked curiously:

"Okay, Cao Gong, it's all rifling, so your bullets must no longer be round marbles, right?"

"That's nature," Cao Jiawen picked up a metal plate from the side and said proudly, "You see, this is the mold for producing bullets, which can cast twenty mini bullets at a time." ”

Lin Xiao took the mold, which was made up of two metal plates, each with twenty conical shapes dug on it, with a raised pit at the bottom, connected by a thin deep groove.

As soon as he saw it, he understood that as long as the molten lead was poured into the fine groove, and after cooling, twenty mini bullets were formed, and after taking them out, he only had to cut them open and polish them finely.

But why, should there be a pointed bump at the bottom?
