Everyone can hear that the smell of angry words and counterwords in these words is too strong!

Wang Hong, He Ru and the other four couldn't help glaring at Li Feibai.

To be honest, they still admire Li Feibai in their hearts. It couldn't be easier to make the fire gun so sharp. But you say that the Fran cannon still has to be improved, then it is a bit overwhelming!

Are guns and guns the same concept? The gun is light and the gun is heavy, and the gun can be in the form of a turntable, shortening the firing time of each gun, is it possible that the gun can do the same?

The artillery itself is difficult to move due to its weight, and if you really want to build a cannon in the form of a gun, can the gun still be moved? Besides, if you add a turntable behind the artillery, someone has to be able to turn it!

But the meaning of Li Fei's vernacular revealed that there was room for improvement in the Franc machine gun. If it weren't for the improvement of the situation of the firecracker, they really couldn't think of any improvement!

Although the Furlong cannon was stolen from the Franc man, they also spent endless energy and kept improving to the point that there was no way to improve it, how could they improve it!

He Ru and the other three were able to conclude that Li Feibai was talking big about Haikou.

In addition to being able to determine that Li Feibai was bragging, Wang Feng could also conclude that Li Feibai was unwilling to fail after he couldn't compare to the Francophone in the firecracker, and he was about to jump off the wall in a hurry.

A wise look flashed in Guo Xun's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Since the power of the Franc machine is so huge, it seems that the army will have to cast more Franc machines and buy less firecrackers in the future." Moreover, the price of guns has to be reduced, whether it is guns or gunpowder, the price has to be reduced by seventy percent. ”

Li Feibai was in a hurry and said: "Uncle Guo, you can't do this, the fire gun I sold you is really not profitable, if the price drops by seventy, the pants will be lost!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Feng and the four of them were shocked!

What's going on? Could it be that Li Feibai did not make firecrackers for the army, but sold them to the army? This...... Isn't this businessman's behavior? This is allowed in the military!

Wang Feng thought more, although he also felt incredible that Li Feibai could sell the firearm to the army, but if Li Feibai was really a businessman, he was relieved. At the very least, the two took different paths and had no conflict of interest.

Guo Xun said: "You have said it, Francois destroys the heavens and destroys the ghosts and gods, you give me a reason not to suppress the price of your firecracker." After a pause, he added, "You don't claim to be a merchant, and the merchant bargains every day, and now that I have bargained, look how you bargain again!" ”

He Ru's eyes widened, Li Feibai was really just a businessman, a businessman who sold arms.

Wang Feng breathed a long sigh of relief. Li Feibai is really a businessman, his performance just now was a little excessive, and he will have to deal with it calmly in the future.

Li Fei's white eyes rolled twice, and said: "If you want to talk about the power of the Franco, it's not that great, let alone destroying the heavens and destroying the ghosts and gods, even killing and injuring one or twenty people at a time is enough to choke." ”

Although Wang Feng and the other four did not like these words, what Li Feibai said was the truth, and it could not be refuted.

Li Feibai then said: "This is still the Franc machine weighing 1,000 catties, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient, and the team of 1,000 people is equipped with a maximum of ten doors, and no matter how much transportation is a problem." The two armies are facing each other, how many enemies can the ten Francs strike? Moreover, the Franc machine attacks far away, and the fire gun attacks close, so after having the Franc machine, everyone must be equipped with a fire gun in their hands, otherwise the enemy will attack the front, how to deal with it. ”

Guo Xun said: "When the enemy attacks closely, we still have chariots and swords and guns, and firearms are not necessary. However, the power of the firebolt is still more powerful than the knife and gun, and it can be equipped. ”

Li Feibai muttered: "This has only improved by two percent!" He paced to the front of the Franc machine, circled around twice, and said, "The Franc machine is actually made of pure copper, which is too extravagant!" The cost performance is really not high, with copper to make a statue, with iron can make dozens or even hundreds of statues. If all the armies of the Ming Dynasty are equipped with Francophiles, the high cost will only emptie the treasury. This is not as economical as using a firecracker. ”

Guo Xun said: "This is also a reason, the price of the fire gun can be changed from 50% to 30%!" He looked at the golden and yellow Franc and frowned.

He also realized this problem early!

In the Ming Dynasty, copper is scarce, so it can be directly cast into money, if the Franc machine is cast with copper, it can be described as a pile of money. Does the Ming Dynasty have so much copper to cast cannons? Even with so much copper, is the court willing to spend so much money to cast cannons?

He asked, "Lord Wang, can the Franc machine be cast in iron?" ”

Wang Hong said: "No! The amount of fire gun is small, and it is not easy to explode, so it can be cast in iron. The amount of ammunition filled by the artillery is large, almost tens or hundreds of times that of the gun, and it is very easy to explode. Xia Guan and others have tried hundreds of times, and most of the artillery made of iron will explode more than a dozen times. And using copper to cast cannons, it can be used hundreds of times before it can be blown up. ”

Guo Xun muttered: "Have you ever tried the method of reinforcing with iron hoops? ”

Wang Hong said: "I've tried, but it doesn't work!" ”

Guo Xun said: "Why? ”

Wang Feng said: "The Franc machine is not loaded with gunpowder projectiles from the muzzle, if it is loaded from the muzzle, it can be reinforced with iron hoops." However, the Franc machine is divided into two guns, and the guns must be placed at the rear end of the mother gun. If you use the iron hoop reinforcement method, the front side can be reinforced, but the rear side cannot be reinforced. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "If you only reinforce the front and not the rear, it is equivalent to no reinforcement." Because, after the sub-cannon was ignited, the resulting explosion was concentrated in the rear, and the barrel made of iron could not withstand it at all. ”

Guo Xun nodded and said, "I see!" He turned his head and smiled: "Feibai, do you have a way to solve this problem?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Yes, yes, but I solved this problem, and the cost of building a Franc machine immediately dropped!" At that time, the large-scale manufacture of Francophone machines was not intended to cause the firearms I made to be unsalable, and Uncle Guo also had a reason to lower the price. ”

Guo Xun smiled: "You little monkey, you never think about Da Ming, only for yourself." ”

Li Feibai smiled and said, "To do business, you have to make money." If you don't make money, you will lose money, and you can't think about it for the sake of Da Ming at that time! ”

Guo Xun said: "You always have a reason! Well, I promise you, even if the cost of building a Franc machine drops greatly, the number of firearms purchased from you will not decrease, let alone reduce the price, and even reduce the purchase by 30%, and increase the purchase to the full amount! ”

Li Feibai arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Uncle Guo!" After that, he muttered again, and said: "I have to buy and sell at the price I said, but you are a big official, so you have to give me such a low price, so that I seem to owe you a lot of favors." ”

Guo Xun said: "What did you say? ”

Li Feibai hurriedly said: "I didn't say anything, I said that Uncle Guo is really a good person, he takes care of his little nephew too much!" ”

Guo Xun smiled and said, "According to your character, you should mention the conditions again at this time, such as what must you buy from you for the barrel of the Franc machine?" ”

Li Feibai spread his hands and said, "Do you need to mention this condition?" They don't buy from me, and where else can they buy from. Daming is the only one, there is no semicolon! ”

Guo Xun waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's talk directly about your method of casting the gun barrel of the Franc machine with iron." ”

The conversation between the two made Wang Feng and the four of them stunned. They were not only surprised by Li Feibai's boldness in front of Guo Xun, but also surprised that Li Feibai dared to boast about Haikou and replace it with the iron he smelted.

It can be seen from this that Li Feibai is indeed a businessman, not only able to self-govern the firecracker, but also open a business in an iron smelting workshop. But Li Feibai said that the iron-cast cannon barrel smelted in his ironworks could not explode, and the four of them didn't believe what they said!
