Yang He still placed a large number of orders with Wang Qiong'e, and the development of a series of plans in his heart in the future is inseparable from these industrial raw materials. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In particular, red copper, which is the basis of a series of copper alloys, plus a certain amount of zinc, which is white lead at this time, is brass.

Brass has good ductility, low hardness, corrosion resistance, not easy to rust, can be processed by various cold plastics, and is the preferred material for guns and shells.

For example, brass shells, commonly known as Qisan brass, contain 30% zinc.

Red copper, plus a certain amount of tin, that is, bronze, bronze wear-resistant, can be widely used in sliding bearings, gears and other parts that require wear-resistant.

In terms of wear resistance, bronze is better than steel.

But Yang He asked, and the price of silver per 100 catties of tin was sixteen taels and five yuan, which was also very expensive.

This made Yang He frown, if he engaged in industrialization, the silver would really flow away like a tide.

At this time, of course, there are a wide range of brass, bronze and other finished products, but according to the plan in Yang He's heart, it is better to have some alloy ratios by yourself.

In fact, if the requirements for raw materials are lower, it can also reduce costs.

At this time, the red copper with better fineness is called "high copper", and the lower fineness is called "low copper".

The second copper has good fineness and also contains a certain amount of silver, so merchants flock to it and push the price to rise.

Among the local raw materials, there are also cheap ones, such as Yunnan copper, which is only 625 yuan of silver per 100 catties, and if they buy it locally, it is only 222 yuan of silver per 100 catties, and white lead is also 427 yuan per 100 catties of silver.

It's just that after leaving the province, as soon as all kinds of water foot silver are counted, the price will skyrocket.

Moreover, the color of this copper is not good, it contains black lead, and it is also mixed with low tide, which belongs to low copper.

There are also all kinds of scrap copper that are relatively cheap, what generations of old money, old bronze, waste guns and other miscellaneous copper, 22 taels per 100 catties of silver.

It's just that according to Yang He's style, after he asked, Wang Qiong'e naturally recommended high copper to him.

There is also the lead used in ordinary firearms, which costs four and a half cents of silver per catty, and Yang He asked for 20,000 catties in one go.

Sulfur, the price of silver per 100 catties is four dollars and five cents, and Yang He also asked for 20,000 catties.

Wang Qiong'e asked Yang He if he wanted gunpowder, and the price of silver per catty was eight cents nine cents and two millimeters.

Yang He thought about it for a while, and when he heard the price, he knew that the purity of the gunpowder was not high, so it was better to mix it himself.

Zero and zero, Yang He bought a lot of things from Wang Qiong'e, Wang Qiong'e's eyes flashed, but she couldn't guess what Yang He wanted to do.

However, she is still in a very happy mood after making a big business and holding a big customer in the future.

Because they were going to Huai'an, they did not stop in Pizhou, but she would explain to the local shopkeeper and receive Yang Xianggong and his party.

For the goods that are not available in the local shops, she will also collect them neatly in November at the latest, such as Su Gang that Yang Xianggong wanted.

The price she offered Yang He was six taels of six taels per catty, and Yang He bought two hundred catties of Sugang from her, and went for more than 1,000 taels of silver.

This is still a preferential price, according to Wang Qiong'e, Sugang is currently in Huai'an, and it has risen to almost seven taels.

Yang He sighed in his heart, these tool steels are too expensive.

At the same time, I feel that this big-breasted girl is really strong, Sugang also has a supply of goods, and it is even more troublesome to sell contraband, and she openly asked him if he wanted gunpowder.

……

At this time, the venue had been almost cleaned up, and the loot had been distributed, and Uncle Huang came over and whispered to Wang Qiong'e.

Wang Qiong'e nodded, and her wonderful eyes turned on Yang He's face: "Yang Xianggong, can you go on the road?" ”

Jiu Ye has also been watching, and the two of them replied that he had faintly heard it, and couldn't help but marvel at Yang He's generosity, Yang Xianggong seems to have bought a lot of things, which costs a lot of silver, and it seems that building a Zhuangzi doesn't need so many materials, right?

However, this is Yang Xianggong's secret, of course he is not easy to investigate.

At this time, he also said tentatively: "Yang Xianggong? ”

Yang He looked around, in fact, there were still many hands and tails that needed to be cleaned up, such as the disposal of the corpses of the dead bandits, what should be done to the people who were coerced, how to take away some materials, and the wounded should also be ordered to make some stretchers, etc., which will not be finished for a while.

And on the official road, not far from the destination, it is not very urgent.

At that moment he smiled and said, "I will stay for a while when I fall down." ”

Wang Qiong'e and Jiu Ye were a little regretful, the two of them still wanted to go on the road with Yang He, but thinking about them riding horses, Yang He and they walked, and they carried a lot of things, it seemed that he also had to accept those refugees, and the team was even more complicated.

Even if you are in the same class, it is difficult to keep up, and it is really not suitable to walk together.

Yang He said with a smile: "There is no feast in the world, and when the mountains and rivers meet, we will always have a time to meet." ”

Wang Qiong'e also smiled: "Today's farewell, quite unforgettable, another day Yang Xianggong came to Huai'an, and the little woman will be down to greet her." ”

All three of them were saluting: "Please." ”

Yang He watched Wang Qiong'e go back to the carriage with Nana, and the waves were turbulent and got into the carriage with Wang Tian'er's support.

The ninth master also rode on a horse, his eldest son Qian Likui, and his fourth son Qian Lijue all jumped on the horse, as well as his daughter Qian Sanniang.

After she got on the horse, she straightened her cloak, lowered her red tasseled felt hat a little, put her heavy mace on her shoulder, and glanced at Yang He again.

The dart masters also rode their horses, some of them led the horses they had been assigned to, and even the executioners were also riding, and it was obvious that these people could also ride horses, but there were no horses before.

There were also people who piled up silver taels on the cart, and they were packed in bags, and they were full of two thousand five hundred taels.

There were also more seriously injured people, who also got into the car, and the bodies of three dead dart masters and executioners were also carefully placed and covered with white cloths.

Looking at their appearance, it is obvious that they are preparing coffins and coffins for the dead dart masters after arriving in Pizhou.

The Ninth Master commanded, seeing that everything was ready, and shouted at the moment: "Dart." ”

At one moment the convoy started slowly, the wheeled carts began to move, and the horses walked with their noses, and the brass bells hanging on their chests jingled and jingled.

The wolf's tooth dart flag was strongly encouraged, and the ninth master rode over, and he laughed and arched his hand: "Yang Xianggong, there will be a period later." ”

The son Qian Likui beside him, as well as all the dart masters, all gave up, and Qian Lijue also hugged Yang He.

Qian Sanniang's felt hat was pressed low, and the cloak was covered, she passed without making a sound, walked a few steps, and glanced back at Yang He.

It was still a cold face, and the eyes on it were like stars in a cold night.

There are also Wang Qiong'e's two horses pulling the carriage over, and next to the car are those of the Yama Palace's long entourage, bows, arrows, birds, and guns, fully armed.

Uncle Huang and Steward Yan rode next to him.

Uncle Huang smiled at Yang He and arched his hand.

Steward Yan's face was expressionless, but he also hugged Yang He's fist.

The curtain opened, revealing Wang Qiong'e's very charming face, with light makeup and a goose egg face, covered in a lying rabbit skin jacket, luxurious and elegant.

She smiled at Yang He.

The face of the little girl Wang Tian'er was also revealed beside her, and she shouted: "Yang Xianggong, you must come to Huai'an." ”

The carriage came slowly, and the wagons slowly moved away, only to hear the tinkling bells, jingling bells and copper bells from time to time.

Eventually, the convoy disappeared and the brass bells were no longer heard. (To be continued.) )
