In a warehouse, Yang He saw the batch of fine firearms mentioned by Ambassador Deng, and sure enough, there were 100 bird guns. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang He took a look, and sure enough, it was quite good, the body was made of fine iron, and there was an automatic opening and closing fire door device on the fire door.

Yang He estimated that it weighed more than seven catties, and he estimated that the cost of this gun would be no less than five taels, and the shooting life should be 1,000 rounds.

However, the specific test still has to be tested, and Yang He asked Zhang Zhugong to inspect it, so as not to have fakes mixed in.

If the inspection is qualified, all these firearms Yang He will want, which makes Ambassador Deng and Guo Zhudian speechless, this Yang Xianggong is really arrogant, throwing eight hundred taels of silver, and his face does not change.

Eight hundred taels of silver, not a small amount, this is still at this time the price has risen a lot, if placed in the peaceful and prosperous era, one tael of silver can buy one stone of rice, two stone of rice, converted into the currency ratio of the later generations, is 400,000 to 800,000 yuan.

Hu Employment and Zeng Youyu were full of pity on their faces, obviously distressed that a lot of money was spent.

Yang He didn't care about a few hundred taels of silver, the silver didn't go out, it was just stones and dead things, and it made him regret that the caliber and size of these bird guns were different, so it was impossible to use a unified fixed cartridge ammunition.

It is not only the problem of lead bullets, but also the different calibers and sizes mean that the bore pressure of each gun is different, so the amount of gunpowder used in each gun cannot be the same, otherwise it will cause problems such as exploding.

Even if a comrade is killed, you can't use his ammo.

It's very cumbersome and a tough logistical test.

However, Yang He still accepted it, it was better than nothing, and the quality of these firearms basically satisfied him.

With a firecracker, there must also be a firerope and gunpowder, although Yang He plans to use a goose feather primer tube, but he doesn't know how much goose feathers can collect, so he still buys some firerope to be prepared.

Of course, there is gunpowder in the delivery station, and the price is eight and a half cents per catty of silver, and eight taels per catty, which is still cheaper than Wang Qiong'e's side, but it is still inferior to gunpowder with hemp straw ash.

This kind of gunpowder is very bad, there are a lot of impurities, it is estimated that it can only break through the armor in fifty or sixty steps, if the best willow ash gunpowder is used, it is easy to penetrate the iron armor in a hundred steps.

It's better than nothing, Yang He opened his mouth and asked for 5,000 catties, which made Ambassador Deng and the others startled, although they can embezzle, but they can't take all the materials in it, right?

In the end, he bargained and could only sell Yang He 500 catties.

There is no fire oil in the delivery station, which makes Yang He feel regretful, but there are some 10,000 enemies in the station, all of them are huge, one end is a wooden handle, one end is a fire rope, the weight is more than three catties, and the amount of gunpowder in it is probably more than two catties.

Yang He asked for a batch, and after the quantity went up, the power of black powder should not be underestimated.

In particular, 10,000 enemies contain iron nails, fragments, etc., and after the explosion, they are hit by the blowout, and the probability of tragic death is very high.

However, because it is too heavy, this weapon can only be used to defend the city, and the grenades of later generations weigh at most a catty, and people often throw them on the heads of their comrades.

Ambassador Deng offered three cents and six cents for each 10,000 pieces, and 70 taels for 100 pieces, and Yang He asked for 200 pieces, which was also the largest amount that could be given by delivery.

They also recommended a swarm of rockets to Yang He, dozens of rounds at a time, and the effect of guarding the village was absolutely good.

But Zhang Chuxun watched a few rockets and whispered a few words to Yang He, and Yang He gave up.

Their rockets, the flamethrower holes of the arrow shaft nozzle are drilled very badly, and even the tail feathers are not put on the iron end as a balance, so that after the rocket is launched, it must be crooked.

There is also pig iron, and Yang He asked for a thousand catties.

wrought iron, I asked for 500 catties.

I made more iron, and I asked for 500 catties.

Sulfur cost five hundred pounds.

The lead for the bullets cost five hundred pounds.

Brass, for two hundred pounds.

Buy, buy, buy, Yang He buys aggressively, spending money without blinking.

Deng Guan and the others were all smiling so much that they couldn't see their eyes, and sure enough, the high-roller came to the door.

Yang He saw that there were still Franc machines and tiger squat guns in a warehouse, and he also wanted to buy a few, which made Deng Guan and the others startled, they didn't dare to sell this thing, even the tiger squat cannons didn't dare to sell it.

Then turn to other warehouses, cloth, pigments, cotton, tung oil, lacquer glue, wool, feathers, cowhide, ribbons, etc., if there is a need, Yang He buys them, and buys them with the maximum amount that can be given by delivery.

There are also military clothing, fat jackets, combat shoes, military trousers, and fur hats, which are generally raw materials issued by the imperial court, self-made by sergeants, and of course there are also official ones.

In the middle of next year, the equivalent price of all kinds of raw materials was about five yuan, and now the price is rising, about one or two, but there are finished products here, and Yang He plans to ask for some.

In particular, Yang He likes the felt hat used in winter, and the other is the same as the red tasseled felt hat and the red hat military hat, but the felt hat used in winter is thicker and warmer, inlaid with wool, especially there are two sides of the rear of the neck, which can be used for warmth protection.

Winter is coming, keeping the ears and necks warm is a problem, and it is not a way to wrap the old cloth from the head, this kind of felt hat solves the big problem.

There is also a cloak, with wool on the collar and sides, which is enough for winter warmth.

Deng Guan hesitated a little, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation and sold 200 sets of Yanghe at the price of one or two and a half yuan a set.

Finally, I walked to the warehouse where the weapons and armor were stored, and there were not many arrows in the village, so I needed to replenish them.

There are all kinds of heavy arrows and light arrows here, the heavy arrows are mostly wolf tooth arrows, the arrows are shaped like wolf teeth and sharp, and there are duckbill arrows, chisel arrows, etc., in the face of unarmored enemies, wolf tooth arrows are enough.

The price given by Deng Guan was five cents and a half percent of silver for each light arrow, and five taels for one hundred.

Each heavy arrow is seven and four centimeters, and a hundred are seven taels.

Yang He asked for five thousand heavy arrows and light arrows each, which was also the largest number that Deng Guan could give.

There was also a waist knife, a piece of five coins, and Yang He asked for a hundred.

The first knife was one dollar and five cents, and I asked for two hundred.

There were also two hundred and fifty round shields, fifty long cards, one hundred javelins, and thirty javelin bags.

Yang He saw that there were a group of tools used by craftsmen, and he also bought some, and even saw a pair of vernier calipers, and bought them.

Ambassador Deng is already a little numb, this Yang Xianggong has too much appetite, and he will buy everything.

Finally, Yang He walked over to some armor and groaned, there were some red lacquered iron armor here, as well as matching eight-petal hats, iron pointed helmets and iron arms.

Look at these red lacquered iron armor are all Ming armor style, that is, the armor piece is exposed outside, it is more popular before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and in the later period, it is mostly dark armor.

Because maintenance is not easy, often wind and rain, the armor is easy to rust, even if the Ming armor is more powerful, in the late dynasty, it is still popular to maintain the dark armor.

Yang He saw that these nails were painted with lacquer inside and out, lined with a double layer of blue cloth, and there were two inches of Nabu at the seam of the nail piece, and finally the velvet rope and Nabu were worn into a pair, which was quite powerful and stylish.

He estimated that each pair of armor might weigh thirty catties, and the budget for fine armor should be sixteen to twenty taels of silver.

He looked at the helmet, which was a very popular eight-petal hat iron pointed helmet in the Ming army, the style was similar to the winter felt hat, but it was made of iron, because the helmet beam was sewn with eight petals and six petals, and the helmet basin used by the officers was higher, and the helmet basin used by the soldiers was slightly lower.

There is a helmet eaves around the helmet, which can prevent rain and arrows, and has more functions than ordinary helmets.

Moreover, there are two pieces of armor on both sides of the iron helmet, which can be used for warmth and protection, and in addition to three pieces, there are two pieces horizontally that can be tied tightly, keeping warm at the same time, and protecting the throat.

At this time, the Qing army also learned this style, and there was a horizontal neck neck, which protected the front and back of the head tightly.

After all, they are used to shooting people in the throat, and they are afraid that others will shoot them in the throat.

Yang He looked at the iron armor and iron helmet, and was a little moved, if his team had iron armor, it was enough to defeat ten with one.

And in addition to strong protection, these iron armor styles are relatively close to later generations, which is very in line with his aesthetics.

He asked about the price of the iron armor, and Ambassador Deng immediately shook his head like a rattle.

……

In the end, Deng Guan still sold Yang He twenty sets of iron armor, with iron helmets and arms, after all, the price Yang He gave was too attractive.

Thirty-five taels of silver for a set, and twenty sets for seven hundred taels of silver, the greedy Ambassador Deng could not bear this fatal temptation.

And Yang He's shopping trip ended here, and according to a rough estimate, he spent no less than three thousand taels of silver, and the entire delivery station was smiling from ear to ear.

Even if the big head is taken away by the boss after the dots, each of them can get at least ten years of additional income, especially Ambassador Deng, the annual silver is only thirty-one and twenty-five cents, how much can he get this time? This kind of good deed, once or twice a year, is enough to live a very privileged life.

Yang He refused the invitation to the luncheon of Deng Guan and the others, and he was in a hurry to send the purchased supplies back to the village.

Deng Guan was not reluctant, but only diligently asked Guo Zhudian to take his subordinates to drive ox carts to send the materials purchased by Yang Xianggong to Xin'anzhuang.

The silver is also given in the village, which can be described as door-to-door delivery and cash on delivery. (To be continued.) )
