If it weren't for the fact that Bourne proposed to learn from the craftsmanship of other muskets, I am afraid that the tall man would not even want to do such a thing as trading in the old for the new.

"I want ten new muskets!" Shinnosuke Nohara saw that this woman didn't want to do his business, and immediately threw out his bottom line: "It doesn't matter if the price is expensive!" ”

"I said that I don't sell it, I just change it!" Olivia said impatiently: "If you want, go find ten old muskets, look at the ones on this shelf, you can see it, if you have it in the store, you can't change it!" ”

Walking out of the store a little unhappily, Shinnosuke Nohara looked at the heavily armed Nanban people at the door, his eyes rolled, and he had an idea.

Isn't it just to trade in the old for the new, I don't have firearms, but these Nanban people have ah, as long as they spend their own money, can't they collect some firearms from the Nanban, if you are lucky, you can receive the same, you really don't have to go to this firearms shop to suffer this idleness.

It's really overbearing to do business like this.

A few people walked towards Nanban Street not far away, but no one noticed that behind them, a tail had been quietly attached.

"Stop!"

A few soldiers patrolling the streets, came over, stopped Nohara Shinnosuke and his party, with the previous experience, Xiao Zhuyun already knew very well what these soldiers were going to do, and skillfully took out the voucher for paying the entrance fee from his arms and handed it over.

"Master Jun, Master Jun, we are businessmen from the Wa Kingdom, serious businessmen, come here to see what is good to buy and sell!"

"Wakoku!?"

The soldier patrolling the street muttered and glanced at the certificate: "Who knows if you are the spies of the Japanese Bandits?" ”

"Where are the widows now?" Xiao Zhuyun was almost about to cry, even if they were in a group, there were not many serious Japanese people, there were people everywhere, Ming people, North Koreans, Zhenla, and even a few Luzon people, if these people were Japanese people, it would be too insulting to the word "Japanese Kou".

"Anyway, I don't think you're authentic!" The soldier patrolling the street raised his hand: "Don't provoke right and wrong, it's very miserable to make trouble here!" ”

"No, no!"

Xiao Zhuyun laughed and left the soldiers, but he didn't notice that the soldiers pretended to stay for a while, but they walked in the direction of the firearms factory.

"I've checked it, it's a Japanese person, and he said that he came here to do business, but look at those people, they all have fierce eyes, they don't look like serious businessmen!"

In the firearms factory, Gao Han listened to the returns of these brocade guards, and nodded slightly: "Star, the businessman who wants to buy ten firearms, we haven't met yet, on the side of the Japanese country, can't they make muskets themselves, they came so far to buy them, there must be something strange in this!" ”

"They want to buy it, and if you think it's a good deal, sell it!" Liu Ru shook his head with a smile: "What a big deal, what's the matter, I'm afraid that Olivia will lose your family!" ”

"It just doesn't feel right!" Gao Han laughed: "I said that I didn't sell it but changed it, those few people didn't give up, they would rather buy it at a higher price, obviously they just came here, there are many people, as long as they spend a lot of money, it's still no problem to buy a dozen muskets, but this person doesn't think so, it's a little interesting!" ”

As soon as the wall behind it was opened, in addition to a large area occupied by the firearms factory, Olivia recently took away a piece of the place, which is also because considering that the firearms factory is relatively tightly guarded, the furnace she envisioned to build the steelmaking furnace is the most suitable here.

Gao Han came over and walked around every once in a while, and he happened to be here today, so he sent Olivia to the front to take care of it, but he didn't expect to meet these Japanese people who wanted to buy firearms, Gao Han casually sent someone to ask, and he didn't necessarily suspect that these Japanese people had any purpose, he just didn't want to make his own firearms, and a large number of them flowed into the hands of unknown people.

However, anyway, he just paid attention to this matter casually, and he didn't care about it, what he really cared about was the problem of the steelmaking furnace.

The materials for steelmaking, he decided at the beginning, directly use pig iron or wrought iron to smelt, not directly from the ore smelting, who knows if there is iron ore nearby, but I think there is no, it is much more convenient to use pig iron directly to make steel. As for the fuel, it is definitely coke, and other fuels are difficult to provide a stable and large amount of combustion value.

Iron Liu Ru is already buying, just a few shops not far from the firearms factory shop, a shop specializing in the purchase of iron tools opened a few days ago, it seems that it is so far away from the shop of the firearms factory, it seems that it has nothing to do with it, it is estimated that unless it is a person who knows the inside story, it is difficult for outsiders to know, but it is actually an owner.

There is no way to coke, however, Liu Ru directly found Qian Lianghu of the City Shipping Division and asked him to release the news through the channel of the City Shipping Division, someone has already taken over the transaction, and it is estimated that a shipload of coke will arrive soon.

As for the blast furnace, Liu Ru found a few skilled masons, although according to Liu Ruye's requirements, the blast furnace was gradually built, but these masons simply knew what it was, and they didn't know what they had built.

In addition to the fact that these masons were invited from other places, Liu Ru also divided the construction of the blast furnace into several parts, and several masons were responsible for their own parts, and when the blast furnace was completely built and confirmed to be usable in the future, these masons would be escorted back to their hometowns by Wan Ziliang's people - they were not even from the same place.

Outsiders want to restore and build a blast furnace through these masons, unless they find all these masons and rebuild them again in the order given by Liu Ru, otherwise, it is almost impossible to rebuild them by themselves.

Gao Han was very pleased with Liu Ruye's caution, many of the details were really something he had never thought of, or how to say that one person is short and two are long! Sometimes, the peace of mind of handing over what you want to do to someone you believe in can often bring special surprises.

"Over there for the purchase of ironware, the price has increased, and it seems that I haven't received much, if you collect copperware, it will be more convenient, this iron is really uncomfortable!" Liu Ru is like a subordinate, reporting the progress of his work to Gao Han.

"Hao Jingao can't receive it, go to the merchant to talk, as long as it is profitable, someone is willing to collect this iron tool for us!"

"It's indeed a way, but it's not something that will take effect immediately, I have an idea, anyway, the steel smelted from these iron tools may also become the muskets and cannons of the firearms factory in the future, can we directly let people exchange iron for this musket, you just need your craftsmen to produce more muskets every day! Anyway, they are idle! ”
