Huang Han came to Yang Laoshi's house again to find him to understand the situation, the armor repaired last time was really repaired as new, Huang Han was very satisfied, and also believed in the technical strength of this blacksmith.

Yang Laoshi is still sweating with his two sons, because there are seven more armors that need to be overhauled, although Yang Laoshi is busy but very happy, without him, the price given by the Huang family is high, and his family will naturally get a lot of compensation.

People are often like this, only when there are interests will there be motivation, seeing Huang Han coming to the door again, Yang Laoshi hurriedly put down the work in his hand to make amends.

Huang Han was very busy, and explained his intentions in one word, "Master Yang, I don't know how many days it will take you to build a bird gun, how much silver you need, I can say dead, the bird gun I want is a first-class product that can't be blown up." ”

Yang was stunned for a long time, and then calculated, and then said: "Now the market price of high-grade Suzhou Iron and Steel is not cheap, and the old man's salary is easy to say, it is estimated that a good gun will cost at least six or seven taels of silver, and the time is not in a hurry, and it will take about a month to deliver." ”

"Are you really going to be able to make sure that you don't blow up your bird's guns?"

"Hehe, as long as the soldiers fill the gunpowder and release it according to Qi Dashuai's discipline, the fire gun made in the old man's hand is blown up, and he is willing to pay for his life.

The old Han ancestor once made bird guns in Jizhen Town, and at that time, Qi Dashuai's prestige was known to the world, which blacksmith dared to cut corners and cause the bird guns to be blown up and killed. ”

"Okay, I'll pay eight taels of silver to entrust you to make bird guns, if the soldiers fill gunpowder according to the ration and operate according to the specifications, what should you do if your guns are still blown up?"

"Brother Han pays such a good price, of course the old man will make a good gun worthy of the ancestral craft, but there is an explosive chamber to cut the old man's head."

"Good! Joyfully! That's it. Huang Han called Song Pengfei and asked him to give a deposit of one hundred taels of silver first.

Seeing the twenty five-tael silver ingots that Song Pengfei put on the table, Yang Laoshi hurriedly shook his hands and said: "The old man's family doesn't do anything else, and they can make up to three bird guns a month, and you are afraid that you will not ask for more than a dozen pieces of silver, and the old man is afraid that he will not take on so much work for fear of making mistakes." ”

Huang Han said: "This is a deposit, you can do your best, what I want is a good gun with better quality than the bird gun used by Qi Dashuai, don't be in a hurry, besides, your father and son can hire a few descendants to fight, so it doesn't improve the work efficiency of your master?" ”

Work efficiency is a new term, Yang honestly didn't understand, but he knew that it was a good way to find someone to start or accept apprentices.

"Okay, the old man listens to Brother Han, there is nothing serious about the future students in the Zhuangzi in the winter, let's find a few people to help, and strive to play a few more good guns."

"Remember, ensuring quality is the first place, the people who use you to make bird guns are all villagers, in case any of the descendants are blinded by the flames, it is estimated that you will not be able to raise your head for the rest of your life."

"The old man knows the severity, don't worry, back then, there were tens of thousands of horses under Qi Dashuai's hands, and I haven't heard of how many guns were killed or injured in the bird's gun.

Huang Han is too busy to participate in the research and development of his own guns.

The self-generated gun is also the flintlock pistol often mentioned in later generations, in the Ming Dynasty there have been craftsmen to make different experiments with different starting fire devices, but the mute fire rate is too high and has not been promoted, and later the Ming weapons expert Bi Maokang brainstormed to create a self-generated gun with use value.

Now we can only get a few high-quality bird guns, that is, arquebuses, to build the skeleton of the firearms family, so that they can first familiarize themselves with the characteristics of firearms, practice hard loading and playing, and when they can upgrade the bird guns to self-generated guns, the bird guns do not need to start from scratch at all, and they can directly go into battle to kill the enemy.

Because technological innovation is to simplify operation and improve efficiency, soldiers who can play with bird guns will feel relaxed and happy to use flintlock pistols.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Huangyi Prefecture issued a military merit reward, and all the people who participated in the operation had three taels of silver and one stone of wheat.

The family members have only followed the Huang family for less than two months, and each person has at least six taels of silver, two stones and five buckets of grain to take home, and the living conditions of the family have immediately improved a lot, resulting in more descendants to come to the Huang family to be housekeepers, and finally someone actually asked someone to find Huang Zhang's family.

No way, Huang Han selected eight people who could ride horses after half pushing and half pushing, and now in addition to Yang Danian's absence from injury, this team already has thirty-one people, forty-four war horses, and three horses.

The number of people in the team has doubled, and everything else is guaranteed, but the iron armor is not enough, and now there are eight people who do not have iron armor, they only have leather armor or cotton armor equipment.

Even so, the quality of the general banner of Huangyizhou is not weaker than the general banner of the Ming border army, of course, Huangyizhou has never admitted that these horses are soldiers of the imperial court, they all exist in the name of the family, and they all belong to private soldiers.

Huang Han and Huang Yizhou do not engage in privileges, sweat like rain with the family every day, Huang Yizhou is unable to participate in cross-country training because of an old injury on his leg, walking with a little lameness, he focuses on training the family Ding riding and shooting.

The people in the village have changed their words to call Huang Yizhou Lord Huang, and later found that the Huang family is also the one who issued the order, and they can't call him by his name in order to show respect, and he is called Major General Huang Han.

In the Ming Dynasty, only officers above the third rank can be regarded as generals, and only middle and low-level military attachés can be counted from the sixth rank to the fourth grade.

In fact, the seven-pin general flag is also the existence of the number of soldiers, the army of the Ming Dynasty is basically a small flag of ten people, a general flag has five small flags, and even five small flag officers and a general flag officer have a total of 56 soldiers.

There are two general flags for one hundred households, and the number of soldiers is one hundred and twelve, so it can be seen that becoming a hundred generals or trying to be a hundred households and a pacification officer is not a big soldier, and it is not counted in the number of soldiers.

Seeing that the New Year was about to be celebrated, at noon on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, there were court officials who rushed to Jiulitai Village from Yongping Mansion.

The person who came was Zheng Guochang, the civil official of Zhengsanpin, accompanied by Han Zhikuan, who had already been appointed as a garrison general.

Zheng Guochang is a Jinshi in the 35th year of Wanli, participated in Shanxi politics for several years, and in the first year of Chongzhen, he governed the Yongping Mansion according to the inspector, and was the highest-ranking party member of the official office in the Yongping Mansion.

When there is an urgent need to employ people, the efficiency of the imperial court military department is extremely high, and everyone is a master when they don't need to really take out money, food, soldiers and horses.

The imperial court has a special affair, and there will be a charter within three days of the reward, and many civil and military officials in Yongping Mansion have nothing to do with Huang Han, he only cares about what benefits he can get this time?
