"Tall, sir!"

Liu Xingzheng pondered, inquiring about how much silver could be purchased for such a cannon, and he heard the deputy Qianhu of Dongguan Qianhu speak, and he immediately felt a little disliked.

However, the sailor can't manage the guard, and the guard can't manage the sailor, no matter how much he doesn't like it, he can only pick a thorn from the fact that the other party's official position is smaller than him.

"Meng Deputy Qianhu, I'm talking to Lord Gao!"

Glancing at this deputy Qianhu coldly, he turned his head and said to Gao Han with a smile: "This artillery of Lord Gao seems to be sharper than the artillery of Yiren?" ”

"This, don't dare to say!" Gao Han snorted: "Each has its own merits, each has its own merits!" ”

Hagus pursed his lips in disbelief, and said in his heart that this person was really hypocritical.

"I just don't know if such artillery can be placed on the warship of our sailors!?"

"Lord Liu, what do you want!" Lord Deputy Qianhu said unceremoniously: "Could it be that you, Lord Liu, still have the right to purchase the water master, this kind of thing, it's useless for you to ask!" ”

Liu Xing glared at the other party fiercely again, that's right, he is here to be aggrieved, he saw something good, he wanted to get it, but he didn't have money, even if he had money, it wouldn't be his turn to buy or buy anything, but, these guys in this guard house are much richer than the sailors, the important thing is that they buy some ordnance, as long as they have money, they don't have to go through it at all, and the above is eager for you to buy ordnance by yourself!

"It's okay!" Gao Han waved his hand: "This kind of artillery, land and water warfare are all suitable, as for whether Liu Guerrilla has the right to buy, then it's okay, in addition to the hard work of Deputy Meng Qianhu's defense, the credit of the water division is also visible to everyone, so let's do it, as long as Liu Guerrilla is interested in using these artillery pieces for the water division, it is no problem for the official to promise to give Liu Guerrilla ten and eight guns at cost price." ”

"Lord Gao, you can't favor one over the other, although the sailor can use this artillery, but our guard is even more used, most of the people here are armed, it is difficult to deter these outlaws by relying on our sergeants, if there are some such artillery, then people are still uneasy and stable!"

Meng Deputy Qianhu has never had the intention of getting some firearms from the firearms factory, he wanted to get some firearms that cost nothing, but now seeing that these cannons are so sharp, he has to be unmoved to have a ghost, and at this moment, when he heard that Gao Hanken sold some to the sailor at cost price, he immediately took the opportunity to speak.

"I don't want much, as much as the sailor wants, we want as much as we want, cash silver, I'll give cash silver!"

"You are a small guard, can you compare with my sailor?" Liu Xing was furious, and no matter what the cost price was, he couldn't see the other party's appearance, "Ten doors and eight gates, maybe it's just the configuration of my two warships, how many warships do I have in Guangdong, and how many people do you have in Dongguan Qianhu, you want to grab this thing with me, and ask you to command the lord, you are not qualified enough!" ”

Hagers puffed out his ears and wanted to hear the cost of the three-pounder gun, but he didn't expect to hear the cost, but he heard the two Ming officials arguing, and he was in a hurry, so he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately, kick away the two Ming officials who couldn't grasp the key point, and then grabbed Gao Han's neck and asked: "Say, how much does your three-pounder cannon cost!" ”

The test ended in a jubilant mood, and everyone was happy except for Hagus, who was not very happy.

Gao Han was also very happy, and that was because John Tang told him that at the current rate, there would be no problem with the manpower and material resources of the firearms factory to cast one such three-pounder gun every day.

And the next goal is to test the casting of the five-pounder cannon, although the goal of casting the ten-pounder cannon is still some distance away, but, seeing Tang Ruowang's confident appearance, Gao Han feels that he is also infected by him, or, in the eyes of this person, this five-pounder cannon is just like that!

The price of the three-pound cannon, the cost price he said, is two thousand taels of silver, this price, whether it is the guard or the sailor, all said that they can accept it, in fact, the cost of each three-pound cannon, no more than three hundred taels of silver, or to say that science and technology is the primary productive force, this pile of scrap iron after smelting, and then casting, a change of hands is nearly ten times the profit.

Of course, this all the more means that the firearms factory has finally begun to make a profit, and it is a large-scale profit, and in the future, the strategy of raising firearms factories with firearms can be carried out without hindrance.

Except for Hagus, who didn't find out about the cost, he was unhappy, and the head of the household, who didn't come to test the gun and watch the ceremony, was not very happy.

He felt cheated.

It was said that the Xiyi cannon that was bought would be placed in the firearms factory for the craftsmen of the firearms factory to refer to and learn from, but after such a long time, they borrowed this little gadget, what kind of thing is this!

The test cannon watched the ceremony, and the cow director was also invited, but he refused because he was unwell, and it was okay to have a horse to go, and the more he went, the more troublesome he became, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it when the time came, and say something inappropriate, but it would ruin his own big thing.

It's been almost three months since he came to Guangdong, except for the two Xiyi cannons that he didn't know where to dismantle, he simply got nothing, he can explain to his superiors the difficulty of his errand, but there is always a time limit for this difficulty, anyway, he knows very well in his heart, as soon as the pressure from Liaodong comes over, he can't complete this errand anymore, I'm afraid that the official hat on his head will be a bit mysterious!

He only hopes that those Tartars in the north this year will not be so fierce, and Inspector Yuan, who is valued by the Holy Master, is really that powerful!

A few days after the test gun, the people of Dongguan Qianhu Institute happily pulled away three three-pounder guns in the firearms factory, because of the delivery of cash, the firearms factory even gave 20 improved muskets, which is also the meaning of Gao Han, since you have this ability, while making money, you might as well arm the local garrison first.

There is a stable environment, better production!

On the side of the sailor, although the guerrilla Liu Xing was very noisy, he was really poor, and he didn't know how much effort he had to, and even went to the firearms factory to borrow a three-pounder cannon and a few gunners, and demonstrated it in front of a certain Shangguan, and only then did he pitifully get 10,000 taels of silver.

Gao Han couldn't bear to see it, after the silver was brought, it was originally five three-pounder guns, but simply one buy five get one free, and Liu Xing's men took the big battle ship, there were only two, and three of these three-pounder guns were installed on one ship, which could be regarded as heavy firepower. If it's five, this one has two doors, and one has three doors, what's going on?

The soldiers and horses on both sides of the guard and the sailor got this new toy, and happily took the new toy to experiment and play, and the firearms factory also began to improve the musket and produce the artillery step by step, and everything seemed to be on the track.
