"Please believe me, beautiful young lady!" Nohara Shinnosuke knew that he could not gain the trust of the other party for the time being, and immediately said: "I can provide a part of the iron ingot as a deposit first, and then I will trade with you when I bring enough iron tools, since you can open a firearms factory and an iron factory here, I think you will also have the care of noble adults, I am absolutely assured of your reputation!" ”

"Then send me the deposit first!" The beautiful woman said lazily, "I can at least guarantee that our trade-in method will be effective until the next transaction is completed, and as for whether there are more transactions, let's see how the next transaction goes!" ”

This is obviously a very bullying deal, but, Nohara Shinnosuke doesn't care about this at all, to be honest, even if the iron ingot of the ballast is greedy by the other party, what he loses is just a little ballast stone, but, such a deal can really be reached, he feels that he will be whitewashed from now on, no longer be a lowly pirate, and become a respected businessman, it is completely possible, and even, he will have the opportunity to bring Nohara, the glorious surname, back to the ranks of the noble samurai.

This samurai is not the kind of samurai he professes, but a samurai lord in Japan, in the country where he was born, with a status in a food town, and is upright and respected.

"It's kind of interesting!"

A large number of iron ingots were neatly stacked in the ironware shop, and Gao Han suddenly felt that he was actually quite discerning.

I feel that these Japanese people seem to be wrong, and these Japanese people immediately do something wrong, these iron ingots, at first glance, are the products of the government, and these Japanese people, no matter how they look at it, have nothing to do with the official government of the Ming Dynasty.

However, he didn't intend to pursue this matter, especially when he learned that these Japanese people would still carry a large number of iron tools, and he didn't even plan to ask where those iron tools came from, anyway, it was the right thing to start the steelmaking furnace as soon as possible. Of course, when everything is on track, if these Japanese still use some unknown iron tools to exchange for muskets, he doesn't care about black eating black once.

Of course, Nohara Shinnosuke didn't know that the real boss of the firearms factory was doing such an idea, when the iron ingots arrived, he immediately left with people, to his surprise, he was worried about being checked when he left the port, but it didn't happen, the Daming tax official on the dock, knew that he took the iron sales order from the firearms factory, went back to transport the goods, and directly waved his hand, and the silver out of the port was exempted from them, let alone check them.

This made him sigh at the great energy of the woman in the ironsmith shop, of course, he was not a fool, and he could still see the inextricable relationship between the ironsmith shop and the firearms factory.

If it was before, two beauties with different styles dangled in front of him, even if he didn't have the courage to do anything excessive, he would definitely want to be lustful in his heart, this level of beauty, he has never had it in his life, think about it, what's wrong.

However, from setting sail to the sea to heading towards Kyushu at full speed, no such thought appeared in his mind.

Knowing the course, Xiao Zhuyun asked his boss a little worriedly, is this going to Kyushu, after getting a positive answer, Xiao Zhuyun suddenly looked like a mourner.

"Don't worry!" Nohara Shinnosuke comforted his subordinates: "The little thing you committed is not a matter at all at the moment, as long as Lord Nine Ghosts knows that we have the ability to find enough muskets for him, what kind of crime cannot be forgiven!" ”

"But then you have to see the Nine Ghosts, I'm afraid that if we don't see the Nine Ghosts, we will be killed!" Xiao Zhuyun's tearful appearance was very pitiful.

"Where do you think I got the news that Lord Nine Oni needs a lot of muskets?" Nohara Shinnosuke hated iron but not steel, and looked at his right-hand man: "Or do you think your boss is so stupid, he doesn't want to die, and he will take you to death with him!" ”

"We're not going to die?" Xiao Zhuyun wiped a handful of tears and asked in surprise.

"Definitely not going to die!" Nohara Shinnosuke said with certainty: "The Nine Ghosts are going to form a musket team, and the Southern Barbarians will first monopolize the channels for the Nine Ghosts to buy muskets, and the Nine Ghosts are now worried about this matter, and we will solve this problem for him, saying that it is not necessarily, in the future, we will be able to get a piece of land in the territory of the Nine Ghosts, and everyone will no longer have to do this kind of fearful livelihood in the future!" ”

"Then let those Southern Barbarians die!" Xiao Zhuyun said fiercely, if there is no way, who wants to listen to the call of those hairy Southern Barbarians.

Half a month later, the ship arrived at a small port on Kyushu Island, Nohara Shinnosuke took a few people, quietly ashore, a few days later, a dozen cold and fierce samurai, escorted a large number of iron ingots on board, the ship was filled with these iron ingots, turned around and headed towards Haojingao.

At the same time, from a private port somewhere in Shandong, a cargo ship loaded with coke also set sail.

……

In the firearms factory in Hao Jing O, a blast furnace has risen out of thin air, whether it is from the place where the Fan people live, or in the place where the Ming people live, you can see this blast furnace, but until now, no one knows what it is.

Even the people in the firearms factory didn't know, but the craftsmen who built this blast furnace vaguely knew that it was probably a furnace, but not many people knew what this furnace was used for and why it was built like this.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the improvement of muskets in the firearms factory is going on, and new muskets are made every day, the number is not very large, but the victory lies in the stable output, even if sometimes it is a batch of looks, a batch of transformations, the improvement of craftsmen in the manufacture of these muskets, the reaction is very obvious, almost a month down, even if it is not full production, the muskets in the warehouse are almost three or four hundred more.

Of course, according to Gao Han's requirements, these improved muskets are all experimental in nature, but they are made a little more, and it is not necessary to say that the quality is very different, but it is inevitable that they are used to one batch and another batch.

In terms of ammunition standardization, the firearms factory has made enough achievements, which is still completed under Gao Han's reminder, when the size of the projectile is fixed, the explosive thrust of gunpowder can be roughly estimated, in the past, when these gunpowders were loaded, they often relied on the personal feelings of the musketeers, but Gao Han proposed that since the thrust of gunpowder can be calculated, then as long as the quality of gunpowder is stable, then the amount of gunpowder can actually be fixed!
