Moreover, the place chosen by Li Qingyuan is really the iron-smelting center in the north of the Qing Dynasty, there are not many others here, but there are really many blacksmiths, so Zheng Jing decided that the next goal is to expand the production team to 100 groups, with a monthly output of 1,000 muskets.

At present, because Li Qingyuan carefully collected all the way, Li Qingyuan currently has more than 3,000 broken and unusable bird guns, and more than 2,000 rods that can be used and repaired.

Originally, there were not so many, but Li Qingyuan burned the reeds and burned a lot of Qing troops to death, and their firecrackers were picked up and recovered into the waste guns of the Qing army in Linqing, plus the firecrackers captured by the combat soldiers in Linqing and other cities, so there were so many at once.

Li Qingyuan, who had more than 2,000 shots to use, planned to use it for training, and the remaining 3,500 rods could make more than 1,000 flintlock pistols, so this time Zheng Jing planned to let the Freemasons go out and start collecting the necessary supplies.

In addition to guns, gunpowder is also an important war resource, but these are not afraid, because the soil method of nitrate and soil method of sulfur is quite popular in China, although the Qing Dynasty repeatedly banned guns, but there are still many people will, and the Tiangong Kaiwu Jiabing chapter also has a detailed discussion of the manufacturing method.

Where nitrate, Huayi is born, and China specializes in the northwest. If the southeast traffickers do not give official citations, they will be guilty of believing that they are private goods. Nitrate is the same as salt, and it is vaporized by moisture under the earth, and it is now on the ground. Those who are close to the water and the soil is thin become salt, and those who are close to the mountains and the soil is thick become nitrate. It is called "nitrate" because it enters the water, that is, nitrate. North of Changhuai, the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated, that is, in the living room, sweeping the floor every other day, and a little can be taken for refining.

Where the three nitrates are the most: those who come out of Shu are called Sichuan nitrate, those who are born in Shanxi are commonly called salt nitrate, and those who are born in Shandong are commonly called soil nitrate. When the nitrate is scraped and swept, (the wall may also burst out.) Soak in water in the tank for a night, and the filth floats on the surface, and when it is taken away, it is then put into the kettle, and it is poured with water and refined. The nitrified water is dried, poured into the vessel, and after a night, it is formed into nitrate. The floating ones are called mango nitrate, and the old man is called horse tooth nitrate, (all of which are illusioned from the essence of the party.) The miscellaneous people under it are called Pu Ni. If you want to remove impurities and return to purity, you can refine. Put a few pieces of laiphane into the same cooking, pour it into a basin, and form snow after the night, then call the pot nitrate.

Where gunpowder is made, the function of tooth nitrate and pot nitrate is the same. Where nitrate is taken, less is baked with new tiles, and more is baked with clay kettles, and the moisture is dried up, that is, it becomes the end of the research. Where the nitrate is not crushed into the stone mortar with iron, the fire is excited, then the disaster is unpredictable, where the nitrate is prepared to determine what medicine is divided into two, into the yellow and research, and the wood ash is added from behind. After the nitrate is baked, it will be reborn after a long time. Giant bubbles are used, mostly from advent loading also.

The method of making sulfur is also discussed in detail in the chapter on burnt:

Where the sulfur is burned, it is made by burning the liquid of the stone. The author mistakenly thinks that the burning stone is alum, and there is a theory of alum liquid. However, the sulfur is burned, and the stone is half out of the special white stone, and half out of the coal mine burns the alum stone, and the alum liquid is mixed by the theory.

It is also said that there must be sulfur in the hot springs in China, and there are no hot springs in the East China Sea and Guangnan where the sulfur is produced.

Where sulfur is burned, it is the same shape as coal mine. The stones were excavated, the clumps were wrapped in coal cakes, and the earth was built to make a furnace. The carbon and stone are loaded with thousands of catties inside, and the furnace is covered with old slag of burning sulfur, and the middle top is raised, and a round hole is penetrated into it. When the fire arrived, the hole revealed a yellow flame and golden light. First, teach the potter to burn a bowl, the middle of the bowl is raised, and the side strings are rolled into a fish bag-like shape, covering the hole. The stone spirit feels the god of fire, turns into yellow light and flies away, and when it is covered by the bowl and cannot fly up, it turns into juice and leans against the bottom of the bowl, and its liquid flows into the string bag, and its string flows into the small pool of the cold channel ash trough through the small eye, and it condenses into sulfur.

Those who pour soap alum from its carbon coal ore, when its yellow light goes up, still use this method to cover it to obtain sulfur. A pound of sulfur is minus more than 30 pounds of saponalum, and the alum essence has been sulfurized, and it is withered and discarded.

For Li Qingyuan, as long as he taught the mountain people how to make nitrate, and then went to private mines to buy sulfur, then the gunpowder industry was complete.

To make gunpowder, each material uses five catties of nitrate, one catty of yellow, and one catty of eggplant ash. The above nitrate, yellow, ash a total of seven catties, divided into three troughs, fixed grinding 5,500 degrees, out of the trough. Three catties of each medicine, one catty of good soju, into mud, still in the trough, and then grind hundreds of times, out of the trough. Mix into grains, such as the size of yellow rice or mung bean, and it must be put into the palm of people's hands without feeling the heat.

In order to write a good book, Li Qingyuan saved these materials in his mobile phone, and now Qianlong is engaged in a literary prison, these books are banned books, and they cannot be found on the market at all.

Therefore, Li Qingyuan feels that he has the obligation to oppose the Qing Dynasty, just for the Chinese inheritance to continue, he must turn over this dog's day, think about the Siku Quanshu is being written, and the books are still being collected and sorted, that is to say, Li Qingyuan still has the opportunity to dare to collect and preserve part of the books before Qianlong destroys them.

Li Qingyuan went to the Freemasonry training side, and after the Battle of Majiazhuang, Li Qingyuan recruited more than 200 locals, so that the Freemasonry also replenished more than 10 locals, so that the work of going down the mountain to publicize could begin.

The first batch of Freemasonry targets Li Qingyuan set on the blacksmith, in addition to the blacksmith can trick back to make guns, the more blacksmiths know the source of wrought iron, how can it be possible to meet the needs of the workshop by recycling old guns, so the iron must be purchased in the later stage.

However, the mines were controlled by the squires and landlords, and these people were still very strict about this kind of private transactions, and it was difficult to obtain iron materials privately, so buying from the blacksmith shop became a way to avoid the Qing court's traceability.

After the arrangement, the Freemasons began to set off in batches, in fact, the Freemasonry is now in this way, Li Qingyuan has been completely de-religious, but more like a sales method of insurance, using the way of selling insurance to promote the development of Freemasonry.

Its practical Amway method may spread faster, but Li Qingyuan is afraid that it will be too fast, and if it is fast, it will be easy to mess up, and if everyone sees that it is profitable, it will be more likely to be discovered.

The mining town and its vicinity were the focus of Freemasonry's development, where there were iron mines, smelting furnaces, and many blacksmiths, and the members who went down the mountain communicated with these blacksmiths under the pretext of buying farm tools, and they were inquiring about the general information provided by the intelligence officers.

In order not to make mistakes, Li Qingyuan specially asked the people of the Tianli Council to pick up outside the town, more than half of the mines in the mining town are private mines, and there are more than 30,000 miners and personnel serving the mines near the town.

As one of the oldest iron-smelting centers in China, Handan is one of the oldest iron-smelting centers in China, not to mention that new iron ore has been discovered in the future.
