Chapter 17: The Sand Gun
Early in the morning, as soon as the city gate opened, Yang Xiuqing drove towards Taiping County with a convoy of more than 100 people, Yang Xiuqing could not have imagined that there were dozens of people in the five blacksmithing shops, and there was a famous blacksmith in the city with twenty or thirty workers, which made Yang Xiuqing spend thousands of taels of silver.
"Young master, everyone takes the carriage, so the cost is too great." Yang Er looked at the forty or fifty carriages with some pain.
"As long as it's worth it, don't be afraid to spend it."
Although Yang Xiuqing also had a pain in his flesh, he was happy when he thought that he could make that musket, and when he had money and a strong guard, then the life of the rich second generation would be much more at ease.
What Yang Xiuqing didn't know was that if it weren't for the Praetorian Guards to release the water, the City Defense Division would not have let Yang Xiuqing take away so many people, you must know that those weapons were also made of iron.
"Hurry up, everyone, try not to spend the night on the road." Although this time he took the official road, Yang Xiuqing was still afraid that there would be another incident of Jitou Mountain bandits.
It was not until night that Yang Xiuqing rushed back to Taiping County, and as soon as he entered Yang's house, Zhu Zhanpeng looked at Yang Xiuqing with a bitter face.
"Young master, this time the Yang family has lost tens of thousands of taels, no matter how thick the Yang family is, they can't afford to do this." It's really that the thief is too chicken thief, because Taiping County ordered Long Yihua to be arrested, and the county treasury has no money, so Taiping County has no way to exterminate the chicken head thief, not to mention, not to mention how many of them have been sold.
"Don't talk about the rest, now the people who died in the revenge of Jitou Mountain will make up one hundred taels of settlement expenses, among which those schoolchildren, we will ask teachers to teach them in a school, and the money will come from the Yang family, as long as they are worthy of the Yang family, the Yang family will live up to them."
"Gongzi Dayi, the money doesn't need to be so much, it's all a Zhuang family, as long as they can get by, it's just that the school should be like this, and they can also find a way out, I don't think they will say that the Yang family is cold-blooded." Zhu Zhanpeng was afraid that Yang Xiuqing would not know that it would be difficult to come to the money, so he persuaded carefully, he was afraid that Yang Xiuqing would be too loser.
"Don't say more, just do it." As soon as Yang Xiuqing walked around, he saw the forty or fifty carriages coming down.
"Oh, they are all recruited by me to strike iron, you set aside a piece of land in Yangjiazhuang to settle them, pass on the door to help the Yang family strike iron, you have to unify them and set up one, well, set up a hall to build a hall."
When Zhu Zhanpeng nodded and turned around, Yang Xiuqing seemed to remember something and said: "The speed must be fast, let them build it as soon as possible according to my drawings, and the quality must be guaranteed." The most important thing is to keep it secret, if there is really an inner ghost, don't be soft, just bury it. ”
"Young master, don't worry, the old slave has also walked through the rivers and lakes with the master, I understand." Zhu Zhanpeng gave a reassuring look, and Yang Xiuqing went to do something.
Yang Xiuqing in Xuannan City early in the morning to draw the painted sand gun drawings to those who strike iron, the sand gun is the loose gun shotgun, although there is only twenty or thirty meters of killing distance, but the power of the sand gun to open a shot, Yang Xiuqing is very impressed, because Yang Xiuqing saw others used to shoot birds, at that time he dreamed of having a gun, but the family has no money, and when he has money, it has become a crime.
Zhu Zhanpeng was very effective, he settled those people in three days, and began to build guns in seven days, and there were more than 70 finished sand guns in half a month.
"Not bad, not bad." Yang Xiuqing touched the sand gun with a length of one meter and five meters, and he was as excited as when he was a child, "Dafu, Dafu, this kind of artifact will let you start." ”
"Ah, young master, I'm afraid, you see, my injury is just right, can you let Yang Er and Yang San go." Jin Dafu was happy to see Yang Xiuqing, and he also tried to touch it stupidly, so if he knew that Yang Xiuqing was so scary when he turned around, he should know the injury on his face.
"As the saying goes, bad people live for a thousand years, and you will not be so easy to get into trouble like you, if you don't try a gun, who will try a gun." Yang Xiuqing looked at Jin Dafu with fascination, Jin Dafu looked at Yang Xiuqing's appearance, and he stood up with a loyal face.
"Childe, rest assured, Lao Jin, I will successfully complete this glorious task." Jin Dafu kept scolding Yang Xiuqing in his heart, if it weren't for you, he would have killed you a long time ago. Jin Dafu was frightened by Yang Xiuqing's face in front of the yin man. “
"It's a pity, I really don't know how powerful this gun is." Jin Dafu listened to Yang Xiuqing's muttering, he broke out in a cold sweat, this master is still so insidious.
"Bump."
"Fail, continue."
"Young master, can you change people." Jin Dafu spit black smoke and looked at Yang Xiuqing pitifully with red eyes, at this time Jin Dafu had already tried more than ten shots, his clothes were torn dozens of holes, and his face began to bleed.
"Lao Jin, do you want to test the power of the gun or do you want to test the gun?" Yang Xiuqing looked at Jin Dafu expectantly.
"No, no, Lao Jin still wants to test the gun."
"Then you don't try it quickly, I tell you, I'll finish him today."
"Bump."
"Yes, it worked out this time."
"Bump. Failed again. “
……
When the sun went down, seventy guns had just been tried, thirty of them were scattered, five were split, and only thirty-five were intact, which alone cost Yang Xiuqing hundreds of taels of silver.
"Finally, there are still thirty-five guns, and my Yang family will be safe in the future." Yang Xiuqing touched the gun, as if he was touching silver, although he also knew that this musket was not invincible, but the power was still enough.
"Young master, although this gun is easy to use, but the cost is too high, in general, a branch costs dozens of taels of silver, and this has to be damaged, and the slave thinks it is not as good as a bow and arrow."
"It's enough to deal with those bandits, if there is a chance to recreate that murderous thing in the future."
Of course, Yang Xiuqing knows that this sand gun is not as good as a bow and arrow, but it is enough to deal with bandits who do not have a bow and arrow, especially if he can shoot a musket farther, it is good, you must know that this is a feudal society, a society where one person eats people, if you mess around, you can only harm yourself.
"Oh, by the way, Uncle Zhu, you go to my Yang family's small farmers to recruit people, you want to be strong, you want to be ruthless and righteous, and you have to be closely linked to the Yang family. Well, let's recruit thirty or forty people for the time being. ”
"Young master, what does this official family say, what standard is this recruited according to." Zhu Zhanpeng looked at Yang Xiuqing with a hint of embarrassment.
"It's said that it is a nursing home, but you have to sign a deed of sale, the kind for life, and life and death can be decided. Of course, the treatment is a little higher, once recruited into the Yang family, first give a hundred taels of settling-in fees, and then according to the senior family, and he planted my land free of rent, and those who have children in the family can enter the school for free, didn't they say that they wanted to build a school before? Anyway, one is to teach two or teach, then it's open, except that I said it's free, you look at the fee. ”
"Okay, the young master is doing this well, but the cost is too high, should we reduce the cost."
"Okay, don't worry, don't be afraid of money, I'm here." Yang Xiuqing is not afraid of no money at all, not to mention that the Yang family has a strong background, just saying that the things in his head can give him this confidence.
