"Old Lu, you have worked hard with the masters in the past few days. From today, the pay of all those involved in the construction of guns will be doubled! ”

Du Sheng's smile was extraordinarily bright, and he became more and more satisfied with the eyes of Blacksmith Lu and others, and secretly made up his mind in his heart. As long as he doesn't betray himself with two hearts, the other party wants the stars in the sky, and he will find a way to pick them off.

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

Coming back from the shock of the big killing weapon in Du Sheng's hand, all the blacksmiths were also very excited and clenched their fists in unison.

As soon as their treatment is doubled, their status in the hearts of the Hou Mansion and Du Sheng will also rise.

Not only will salaries increase a lot, but the most important thing is that their children and grandchildren will also be better trained.

Three days ago, Du Sheng specially invited a gentleman to teach the school-age children in their family to read and write, and the adult children and apprentices also arranged errands.

Du Sheng's previous promises have all been fulfilled.

These blacksmiths who once lived at the bottom of society were grateful to Du Sheng from the bottom of their hearts.

It is precisely because of this that they will willingly and voluntarily make guns for Du Sheng day and night.

"Old Lu, this gun was forged by you and all the masters, why don't you choose a name."

After a pause, Du Sheng continued.

"Master Hou, this can't be helped! Don't do it! It's up to you to pick the name. ”

Blacksmith Lu was shocked physically and mentally, and hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

As the first musket in the world, it will go down in history for eternity.

Even if Blacksmith Lu was about to go crazy, he still rejected his proposal with the last shred of reason.

Who doesn't want to be famous!

Who doesn't want their name to go down in history!

Although this gun was forged by Blacksmith Lu himself, without the drawings and detailed explanations provided by Du Sheng, even if he was given another hundred years, it would be impossible for him to make this kind of magic weapon.

"Ben Hou said that making that is making it, and this matter is decided! After a while, Benhou will order the craftsman to engrave the name and the name of the master on the handle of the gun, which will remain forever! ”

Isn't it just a name, this kind of means of winning people's hearts without spending a penny and with excellent effect, how can Du Sheng not make good use of it?

"What? Shall we engrave our names as well? ”

The other blacksmiths' breathing instantly became rapid, and they were all crazy with excitement.

Three days ago, they never even dreamed that their names would one day be remembered by the rest of the world.

What an honor that must be!

"Old Lu, you have to think of a good name."

"Yes, yes, yes, you have to think of a loud name."

"Not only loud, but also domineering."

Seeing that Du Sheng was not joking, these blacksmiths could no longer control their discussions.

"Ahem!"

"If this gunfire is muffled and thunderous, the power is amazing, and it will definitely shock the world in the future!"

"It's better to ...... How about calling it a thunderbolt? ”

Blacksmith Lu frowned and pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his old face stared at the spear in Du Sheng's hand and proposed.

"Thunder guns? There is a thunder on the ground, who doesn't know you! Good name! From now on, this gun will be called a thunderbolt! ”

Du Sheng's gentle ** spear in his hand set its name in this world.

Next, he immediately summoned craftsmen and engraved the three words "Thunder Gun" and the names of all blacksmiths on the handle of the gun in front of Blacksmith Lu and others.

After doing all this, he personally took all the blacksmiths involved in the gun-making into the Du family ancestral hall and enshrined the first thunder gun on the shrine.

Du Sheng's attention to the thunder gun is once again beyond everyone's understanding.

Doesn't offering the thunder spear in the ancestral hall mean offering the names of all the blacksmiths as well?

His actions touched the blacksmiths and them in a mess.

"Lu Lao, masters, at all costs, we will definitely make a hundred guns within a month. Please! ”

Coming out of the ancestral hall, Du Sheng bowed deeply to a blacksmith with a solemn face.

Whether they can save the lives of everyone up and down the Hou Mansion depends on how many thunder guns they can make in a month.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, even if you exhaust our old bones, you will definitely live up to Master Hou's trust!"

Blacksmith Lu hurriedly picked up Du Sheng and assured him loudly.

"Ben Hou believes in you!"

Next, Du Sheng told the details again, so that everyone must ensure the quality while rushing to work.

There must be no mistake in the slightest mistake with a gun, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Pass the order, no one is allowed to divulge half a word about the thunder gun, violators of the order, punished!"

Coming out of the foundry, Du Sheng immediately gave a gag order.

The two loud noises that came from the test gun just now were heard by almost everyone in the Hou Mansion.

If anyone knows this news, combined with what he has done in the past few days, it is very likely that they will guess what he is secretly developing.

"Master Hou, don't worry, the old slave has just explained."

Fauber replied respectfully.

"Let Sun Bazhi come to the study to find me."

Du Sheng nodded lightly, gave another order, and then turned around and walked towards the study.

Now that the Thunderbolt has arrived, he needs someone who is absolutely loyal to make the bullets.

If he had his own strength, he wouldn't have been able to make many bullets even if he was tired for a day.

And this is a long-term and huge project, and someone must be in charge of it.

About half a cup of tea later, Sun Bazhi appeared in Du Sheng's study.

"Eight fingers, Ben Hou has a top-secret thing for you to do."

Du Sheng got up and walked to Sun Bazhi, and said in a low voice with an unusually serious face.

The latter's heart suddenly sudden, his body tensed instantly, and he clenched his fists hard and said: "Master Hou has a dispatch, Sun Leng will never give up!" ”

"Good! Ben Hou really didn't see the wrong person. You remember, what Ben Hou said next must not reach the ears of the third person, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Du Sheng patted him on the shoulder, took out a bullet design drawing and a sample of a shotgun from his arms, and explained in detail how it was made.

The two discussed secretly in the study for nearly an hour before Sun Leng pushed the door out.

That night, Sun Leng, Wang Lao Liu, and six other disabled guards in the mansion disappeared silently.

"Master Hou, the people have left."

As soon as Sun Leng left with his front foot, Li Mu entered Du Sheng's study with his back foot.

"Hmm."

Du Sheng nodded without being salty, standing in front of the window and looking at the bright moon in the sky, slightly distracted.

The latter quietly retreated, and Du Sheng sighed softly: "I really don't want to make myself so tired, but the stakes are so high, I can't help but be cautious." ”

He first asked Sun Leng to lead people to make bullets secretly, and then sent Qinglongwei to secretly supervise and protect them, in order to add another layer of insurance.

In this way, even if Sun Leng's side accidentally leaked the news, at least Qinglongwei would remedy it behind his back.

The bullet and the gun are made separately to ensure that the thunder gun does not fall into the hands of others to the greatest extent.

"The safest way to do this is to have the parts of the gun cast separately and secretly in different places, and then I assemble them myself. The same goes for steelmaking and bullets. Unfortunately, my current conditions are not up to the assembly line operation. ”

"But the families of these people are under my control, and I am not afraid of any storms they make."

The ruthlessness in Du Sheng's eyes flashed away, and once he sensed anything unusual, he would not hesitate to use thunderous means.

He didn't do this because he was naturally suspicious, but because he was too big at stake.
