Chapter 272: Rifled guns

"Someone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" A soldier behind Zhou Lei brought over a flintlock pistol, "Xia Guan originally said that he wanted to do some business with Master Guan. Now that the sample of the firearm has come out, the next official will give it to Master Guan for a look. ”

"Brother Zhou is really interested." Guan Mingke took the flintlock pistol and looked at it over and over, "I don't know what the range of this firearm is?" ”

"Xia Guan has tested it, almost 30 zhang." Zhou Lei replied, "The dumb fire rate is less than 20%. ”

"Really?" Guan Mingke nodded, "That's really good." I don't know how much silver Brother Zhou wants to sell? ”

"Uncle." Zhou Lei didn't directly answer Guan Mingke's question, "Lord Guan also knows that to build these firearms, you need to transport coal from Datong Town. Therefore, General Cao, the chief soldier of Datong, also needs to be dealt with, and the state capital city along the way is not so good, and those craftsmen are also hired by the lower officials for money, which is not too low. ”

"Hahahaha." Guan Mingke put down the gun, pointed at Zhou Lei and said with a smile, "Brother Zhou will also cry poor with his brother, so you can tell me directly how much silver you have." ”

Zhou Lei arched his hand: "Lord Guan, what do you think of 12 taels of silver?" ”

Guan Mingke stopped laughing: "12 taels? I won't hide it from you, brother, I and General Lu won't all use these firecrackers by ourselves, and we will also sell them to the Nine Border Towns. You also know the old brother of this nine-sided town, and they are all poor one by one. My brother sold me 12 taels, I'm afraid that Mr. Lu and my brother will not make much money. ”

"We also know the difficulties of Master Guan and General Lu Bing." Liu Jun stepped forward and said, "So General Zhou discussed with Zaixia, we can sell all the firecrackers to Lord Guan, and the Nine Border Heavy Town will not sell it to others." ”

"Really?" Guan Mingke's mind came alive, "I wonder how many firecrackers you can provide every month?" ”

"Lady Return." Liu Jun replied, "500 sticks a month is guaranteed. ”

"500." Guan Mingke stopped talking, silently calculating his profits in his heart.

"Uncle." Zhou Lei knew that he should make a request, "There is one more thing that Xia Guan hopes your adult can accept." ”

"Brother Zhou said, as long as the old brother can do the master's thing, there is no problem."

"Thanks to the emperor's love." Zhou Lei arched his hand to the sky, "Xia Guan was canonized as a guerrilla general the day before yesterday, and Xia Guan felt that the burden on his body was heavier. Now my Xuanfu Town is located in a fortress, and every time the Anti-Jin Tartar invades, almost every time it invades, it has to break through from my Xuanfu Town, and the lower officials know that Lord Lu and Lord Guan are under great pressure. ”

Guan Mingke looked at Zhou Lei and didn't speak, and secretly doubted in his heart: "What do you want to say?" ”

Zhou Lei smiled: "Xiaguan wants to relieve his worries for Long Live and share the burden for adults, so Xiaguan recruited homeless people in Yulinbao to Tuntian, and these are also thanks to Lord Guan for taking care of them." ”

Guan Mingke finally couldn't help it: "Brother Zhou, let's talk straight, I don't have to beat around the bush with my brother." ”

"Yes, Lady Tube." Zhou Lei finally said his thoughts, "Xiaguan hopes that Lord Guan will agree to Xiaguan's recruitment and training in Yulin Fort, in case the Tartars attack again." ”

"You're going to be conscripted?" Guan Mingke was taken aback by Zhou Lei's words, "How much do you want to collect?" ”

"It's not a lot, and the lower officials plan to recruit a few hundred more people."

Guan Mingke did not respond to Zhou Lei's words, and secretly pondered in his heart, judging from the current situation, these remnants of the Song Dynasty should have no second heart for the imperial court, and they are stationed in Yulinbao, and their silver is almost endless. But the imperial court also has a will, and it is important to see them first-class. Now they want to expand the army, although the reason seems to be very good, and they are also thinking about the court, but Guan Mingke feels that he still can't make decisions about this matter.

"Does Lord Guan have any doubts?" Liu Jun saw Guan Mingke's thoughts.

"It's not that the official has doubts." Guan Mingke replied, "You are waiting for a piece of loyalty and patriotism, and this official knows." It's just that this matter is not up to the officer, and it needs to be reported to the chief soldier. ”

"Lord Guan, there is still something I want to discuss with my lord." Liu Jun suddenly stopped when he said this, and turned his head to look at the person behind Guan Mingke.

Guan Mingke clapped his hands in understanding: "You all retreat first." ”

There were only three people left in the room, and Liu Jun hugged his fist at Guan Mingke: "Lord Guan, I'm afraid that the adults can't make their own decisions about the sale of the firecrackers, and they also have to discuss with the chief soldier." ”

"It's nature." Guan Mingke didn't understand why Liu Jun asked knowingly, "If you want to sell it to the Nine Border Towns, you naturally need the Chief Soldier to do it." ”

"Then I'm afraid the chief soldier will take the lion's share of the silver in this." Liu Jun said with a smile.

Guan Mingke's face changed slightly: "I don't know what you mean by that, Lord General has his own plans." ”

"There's no other meaning in the next place." Liu Jun said with a smile, "A fire gun is 12 taels of silver, this is the price reported to the chief soldier." But among these 12 taels, there are one or two of the adults, I wonder if the adults are willing? ”

Guan Mingke's eyes widened: "Give me one or two?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Lei took over, "Our firecracker is only sent to Lord Guan, and the Lord will transfer it to Lord Zongbing." As for the one or two pieces of silver, as long as the chief soldier pays for it, we will give it to the lord. ”

"You have conditions, right?" Guan Mingke felt that it was better to make it clear when dealing with these relics of the Song Dynasty.

"Master Guan is serious." Zhou Lei said with a smile, "Regarding the conscription, we hope that Lord Guan can say a few more kind words in front of the Chief Soldier, we are really worried about the return of the Tartars." ”

"Well." Guan Mingke thought for a while, "Brother, I can only say that I can mention it to Lord General Soldier, as for what Lord General Soldier means, it's not up to me to decide, old brother." ”

"I'll know that." Zhou Lei and Liu Jun clasped their fists together, "Thank you, Lord Guan." ”

Zhou Lei and Liu Jun returned to Yulin Fort after coming out of Longmen.

When the two of them returned to the office, Li Muqing was cleaning up in the house.

"Hello sir." Li Muqing saw the two of them enter the house, stopped what he was talking about, and gave a military salute.

"Take a break." After Zhou Lei returned the ceremony, he suddenly found that Li Muqing had become more and more outstanding in Yulinbao these days, his body was no longer so thin, and his face began to show the brilliance of a girl.

Li Muqing was a little embarrassed by Zhou Lei: "Sir, dinner has been prepared, are your subordinates coming over, and the two chiefs are eating here?" ”

"Okay, Mu Qing, you can bring the food." Liu Jun instructed, "I still have something to discuss with Head Zhou. ”

"Yes." Li Muqing turned around and went to serve the food.

"Zhou Lei."

"You wait." Zhou Lei stretched out his hand to stop Liu Jun's words, "What did you call her just now?" ”

"What did I call her? I didn't pay attention, what's wrong? ”

"Hehe, Liu Jun." Zhou Lei laughed and said, "Mu Qing? Why does it sound so ambiguous? ”

"Am I called that?" Liu Jun also smiled, "I really didn't pay attention. ”

"Hahahaha, you didn't pay attention, but your subconscious betrayed you." Zhou Lei stopped laughing, "You really like her?" If you really like me to propose marriage to her grandfather, I guess I'll just say it. ”

"I can't say it myself." Liu Jun replied, "But if you want to get married here, do you have to talk to your family?" ”

"It's easy to talk at home, the key is whether you really like her, and how does she treat you?"

"She's right to me? I guess I have feelings, but I'm not experienced with this kind of thing. ”

The two of them were talking, and Li Muqing brought the food over.

"Corporal, stand upright." Zhou Lei watched Li Muqing put the food on the table, and suddenly ordered.

Li Muqing's conditioned reflex stood there upright.

Zhou Lei circled around Li Muqing twice, looking up and down. Li Muqing didn't know what Zhou Lei wanted to do, and looked at Liu Jun a little helplessly.

"Corporal, take a break." Liu Jun waved his hand, "Captain Zhou is joking with you, it's okay, you go out first." ”

"Liu Jun, that's good." Zhou Lei sat down and picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, "Look at her body, I can give you a few big fat sons in the future, settle down as soon as possible." ”

"I'm talking about you." Liu Jun complained, "The way you looked just now, you are not afraid of scaring others, that is your younger brother and sister in the future." ”

"Isn't that right now?" Zhou Lei suddenly stopped joking, and suddenly became depressed, "Liu Jun, don't forget your heart." I'm kind of having fun, and I'm really depressed. ”

"I know, I don't blame you." Liu Jun said with relief, "There are only two of us in the entire Xuanfu Town, and the pressure is too great." ”

"Well, that's not all." Zhou Lei looked up to the sky and sighed, "To be honest, we have been here for 5 years, and I still can't fully adapt to this era, and I often dream of returning to the 21st century." ”

Liu Jun looked at Zhou Lei, he knew that this kind of feeling was probably something that more than 300 traversers would not be able to get rid of in their lifetime.

"I'll go get some wine." Zhou Lei stood up, "Let's have a drink." ”

Zhang Guodong sat in Xia Yang's office: "The news of Datong and Xuanfu has come back. ”

"Really? What's new? Xia Yang asked.

"Nothing new." Zhang Guodong put the two letters in front of Xia Yang, "Zhou Lei, they have started to sell firearms, but the current sales are not large, and there is basically no money in the important town of the nine sides." Lu Baozhong and Cao Wenzhao also basically agreed to our army expansion plan, and there was nothing else to do. Instead, Liu Jun submitted an application and wanted to get married. ”

"Really?" Xia Yang smiled, "These people are not young anymore, and it is time to start a family." ”

"Tianyang, do you have any new situation here?" Zhang Guodong asked.

"There's something new." Xia Yang suddenly lowered his voice, "Shen Daxing told me that they have now used manual drilling and boring and manual rifling to get a few rifled guns, so that we can have time to take a look." ”

"So what are you waiting for?" Zhang Guodong stood up, "Let's go, let's go and have a look now." ”

"Chairman Zhang, don't be so anxious." Xia Yang persuaded, "Shen Daxing said that this method can only produce samples for testing and measuring data, and cannot be mass-produced. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you have the data." Zhang Guodong pulled up Xia Yang, "Go now." ”

Xia Yang was dragged by Zhang Guodong to the Military Research Institute, and in the innermost sample showroom of the Research Institute, Shen Daxing, Song Yingxing, and Ye Sunquan were discussing some data.

"Shen Daxing, when did you get it?" Zhang Guodong shouted when he entered the door, and saw Song Yingxing at a glance, "Mr. Chang Geng is also here, Mr. Chang Geng has worked hard." ”

"With Chairman Lao Zhang's concern, it's not hard to work down." Song Yingxing replied with a fist.

"Shen Daxing, take out your precious gun and we'll take a look."

"It's all over there." Shen Daxing pointed to the four guns standing side by side by the wall, "There are only four guns in total, and it took us a lot of time." ”

Zhang Guodong walked over and picked up one and aimed it at the barrel: "Daxing, why don't I look standard." ”

"Chairman Zhang, this is already good." Shen Daxing said, "It's all handmade, and it can't be standardized." ”

"Shen Daxing." Xia Yang asked, "Have you tested it?" What is the data? ”

"Tested." Shen Daxing replied, "The bullets are made by hand, and the bullets are also made by hand. Although it is not as far as the real Mini bullet, it is much farther than our current smoothbore gun, with a range of about 300 meters, and the accuracy has also improved. ”
