"Flintlock pistol?" Ou Yajiu said inexplicably: "Dare to ask what the son is?" ”

Su Ziheng instructed Shi Meng behind him to take the flintlock pistol he brought out of the base space to Ou Ya Jiu, and said with a smile: "Master Crow Jiu, please see, this is the flintlock pistol." ”

Originally, Su Ziheng was still a little sorry that most of the firearms he finally collected from the black market arms dealers were antiques, and they had no practical effect except for their collection value.

However, after recruiting the master of refining, Ou Yajiu, he finally found that these antique firearms were useful. You can give him a new flintlock pistol.

Ou Yajiu took the long flintlock pistol from Shi Meng's hand, took a closer look and said, "Childe, this thing looks quite delicate, but it is not troublesome to make, a few old apprentices can create it, but how to build this?" ”

When Su Ziheng heard that he could build it, he said with joy on his face: "This is a new weapon, which will replace the bow and arrow in the future and become a big killer on the battlefield." It must be used with gunpowder, and the ammunition has not yet been manufactured, but after the master has made a dozen flintlock pistols, I will instruct the powder shop to make the special ammunition for the flintlock pistol, and you can see its power. ”

Ou Yao Jiu frowned and said, "Childe, do you need a dozen or so many?" ”

Su Ziheng nodded and said, "Naturally, the more the better, how can there be difficulties?" ”

Ou Yao Jiudao: "There is no difficulty in building, and an apprentice can build a rod quickly." It's just that the raw materials are not easy to get, and after starting from Xining, we left in a hurry and didn't bring too much refined iron. ”

Su Ziheng said with a smile: "Master Crow Nine don't worry, this time I went to Zhenbao Island and found an iron-rich mine, so I shouldn't have to worry about raw materials in the future." It's just that I have a request, I hope that when Master Crow Jiu directs his disciples to build flintlock pistols, he must use unified specifications and standards to build, and ensure that the error of each gun is very small, and all parts can be removed to form a new flintlock pistol at will, and it can only be used without affecting it. ”

Ou Yajiu thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "This is no problem, in fact, for a refiner, what is required is to have his own thinking, and only in this way can he create his own style of weapon." ”

Su Ziheng said: "Master Crow Nine, the most important thing for standard equipment for the army, such as the flintlock pistol, is that it is easy to maintain and use. Once it is broken, it must be repaired quickly, if the parts of the two guns are not the same, they cannot be quickly assembled into a good gun, but it will kill people. ”

Ou Yajiu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Childe is reasonable, but he is old and incomplete. Please rest assured that the old man will definitely instruct his disciples to build it with uniform specifications. It happened that during this journey, I also learned the standards for unified weights and measures formulated by Childe, which made the old man admire. ”

Su Ziheng arched his hand and said: "Then everything will be entrusted to Master Crow Nine, and my flintlock pistol will be placed here by the master for reference." In the next few days, I will go to Jiangning Mansion, if the master has needs, just ask Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Ou Yajiu was surprised: "Young Master Su, seeing that the New Year is coming up in a few days, aren't you ready to leave after the New Year?" ”

Su Ziheng shook his head and said: "No, now Donghai County is in ruins, and if I delay a few more days, Donghai County will delay its development for a longer time." Now is the time to race against time, seeing that the world is about to be in chaos, if Donghai County does not develop and has no ability to protect itself, we are afraid that we will have to wander the world again. ”

When he was in Liangzhou, if he was strong enough, the Mengyuan army would be repelled in the future, and there would be no need to travel thousands of miles to Donghai County.

Su Ziheng only plans to have this experience once in his life, he doesn't want to settle down in Donghai County and be driven like a lost dog by others.

……

……

After leaving the workshop, Su Ziheng went back to visit his sister-in-law Zhang Wanqing and Xiaoya.

After Xie Qingxuan left, Xiaoya practiced martial arts diligently every day, and went to Bailu Academy to read and write during the day, which made Su Ziheng quite pleased.

"Sister-in-law, tomorrow the little brother is going to Jiangning Mansion, do you want to go with the little brother to relax?"

Zhang Wanqing traveled all the way from Xining to Donghai County, and her mood has been tense for several months, and she finally settled down, and she was busy taking care of the resettlement of Sufu, but she couldn't relax her mood. Su Ziheng planned to take her out for a walk, so that she wouldn't work too hard every day.

When Zhang Wanqing heard that Su Ziheng was going to Jiangning Mansion, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked curiously, "Uncle, are you planning to find Wan'er?" ”

Su Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Yes, but to be precise, I am looking for Zhao Chengwen, the owner of Zhao's firm." There is a deal in the princess's mansion that I want to find someone to work with, and I think that the Zhao family firm is quite suitable. ”

Zhang Wanqing was suddenly disappointed and said: "It turns out that Uncle didn't go to pick Wan'er up to Donghai County to celebrate the New Year with us?" ”

Su Ziheng said with black lines on his head: "Sister-in-law, you think too much." It's only a few days before the Chinese New Year, and even if I can make it, I won't have time to come back. Besides, how could Miss Wan'er come to Donghai County with her little brother for the New Year for no reason? ”

Zhang Wanqing pursed her cherry lips and said, "Since Wan'er is your fiancée uncle, why can't you come to our house for the New Year?" Anyway, when did the uncle marry Wan'er? ”

If she was still in Xining, Zhang Wanqing would naturally not be in a hurry, but suddenly experiencing a war made her feel that the world was impermanent, and she just wanted to see Su Ziheng get married as soon as possible, so that the Su family would not be cut off.

Su Ziheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, this ......"

Seeing this, Zhang Wanqing sighed and said softly: "Uncle, the slave family knows that you have been close to Miss Zhong recently, and even the slave family has heard that the people of the Zhong Mansion have regarded you as the uncle of the Zhong Mansion. But no matter what, the slave family hopes that you won't let Wan'er down, after all, she is also your fiancée who held the levy ceremony. ”

Su Ziheng was also quite distressed about this matter, when the ceremony was held, it was because Zhao Chengming said that he would move his family to Jiangnan, and the Su and Zhao families should not have much relationship in the future.

But who knew that by mistake, he was forced to leave Xining and come to Donghai County, and it can be said that he became neighbors with Zhao Wan'er again. And during this period of time, he more or less understood Zhao Wan'er and Zhao Chengwen's thoughts, and if he wanted to talk about acting like before, he was deceiving himself.

Zhong Qinghan also asked him to hurry up and make a decision, otherwise it would be bad for no one to keep delaying.

Su Ziheng is not a twisted person, as a person who has died once, he has seen many things quite openly. This time, he planned to go to Jiangning Mansion to find out about the Zhao family's firm cooperating in the development of salt fields, and he also had the idea of solving the problem with Zhao Wan'er.

"Sister-in-law, please rest assured, the younger brother knows in his heart, and he will definitely deal with this matter on this trip to Jiangning."
