When Xia Yun left, Wu Yi's eyes were as clear as water, where was he a little drunk, he was a man who had been on the battlefield, this little bit of low-alcohol wine was not enough, he also did it on purpose, exaggerated the story, just to tell the elm cannon, sure enough, this old man was also moved, and it is estimated that he had reported to the eunuch at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't continue to eat and drink, he was so light that he wanted to die, he just sat back and waited for the good news, this time he didn't believe that this eunuch was not in a hurry, and he could move back to a city.

It's just that this time is really a bit long, a full half an hour, the old man walked in with a red face, and said with a smile when he met: "Don't blame the virtuous nephew, but this time the old man can earn a chance for you, and a great credit is in front of you, I don't know if you have a heart?" ”

Wu Yi smiled in his heart, this old man also wants favors, but you are too far behind your master, and asked quietly: "My Xia Bo, we are all our own families, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, and the most afraid is to beat around the bush." ”

"Cheerful, let's go into the house." Xia Yun smiled, the folds on his face were a lot smoother, and then he entered the inner room, closed the door, and then said: "Since you are not an outsider, and you have to know sooner or later, why don't you tell you, do you know why the Lord handed over the iron to you?" ”

"Of course, seeing that I have someone in my hands, the thieves dare not harass them, and they can keep the iron house safe." Wu Yi said directly.

Xia Yun nodded, "Yes or no, in fact, this iron institute still has armaments, presumably Da Lang also understands, but there is a great credit in front of him, as long as Da Lang does it well, the benefits will naturally be small." ”

"Say it quickly."

Xia Yun squinted his eyes, and then whispered in his ear the secrets of Ningwu Mansion's armaments.

"Ahh This ......" Wu Yi exclaimed.

"Don't panic, don't let outsiders know about this, be careful with your head." Xia Yun hurriedly warned.

It turned out that the eunuch was really anxious this time, several of their high-ranking officials actually lied about the armament, greedy for silver taels, but who knew that the Tartars actually came, so that their affairs were dangerous, especially the one on the dragon chair, and now he has also begun to thoroughly investigate the armaments of the border army, and it is easy to say that there are other things, but there are fewer artillery, and it is not easy to fool the past, because many cannons can not be sounded, which angers the officials of the DPRK and China, and now these eunuchs and governors are so anxious that they burn their eyebrows.

"You can cast a cannon, and this matter is even simpler, but this is not the greatest credit, if you can do another thing, then it will really solve the worries of adults." Xia Yun then said mysteriously.

Wu Yi didn't expect to be so implicated this time, and then he wanted to hear about it.

"This cannon is divided into sizes, the bronze red-clothed cannon, this is the biggest headache for adults, if you can make it, your wealth is indispensable." Xia Yun whispered.

The red-clothed cannon is the weapon of the country, although Wuyi can't look at it, but he also knows the power, absolutely the most fierce artillery of this era, especially used in siege, the late Manchu Dynasty is relying on this red-clothed cannon, breaking through countless cities.

"It's not too difficult, as long as there are enough craftsmen, it can be made." Wu Yi patted his chest and agreed.

Xia Yun also smiled brightly, and then warned: "If this is done, a wealth will be waiting for you, if you don't do it well, don't think about it." ”

Then he pulled Wu Yi to see Xia Daxuan, I didn't expect this eunuch to wait for him, Wu Yi's face was also relaxed, I didn't expect that there were few cannon craftsmen in the dignified Sanguan Heavy Land, there were many craftsmen in the village, Li Dazhui and others understood, this time it took no effort to come.

"Good, good, good." Xia Daxuan excitedly called out in the voice of a male duck, this matter gave him a headache, but he didn't expect that this kid would be able to do it.

"Xia Yun, you go and allocate fifty artisan households to him, two hundred stone of grain, and six thousand taels of silver." Then Xia Daxuan also said sternly to Wu Yi: "Remember, in three months, I must see the cannon, otherwise you will lose your head." ”

Walking out of the front yard, Wu Yi felt that this matter was a little too easy, thinking of Xia Daxuan's last warning, he suddenly caught something, people, food and silver, but there was one more, copper, I didn't say it!

"What!" Xia Yun also shook his body, he was almost dying, why did this kid say it at this time, didn't he swear just now.

Wu Yi knew how wrong he was, it turned out that what he thought of was wrong, there was no shortage of craftsmen at all, otherwise how could he just allocate fifty households to him, what was really lacking was copper, since ancient times, domestic copper has not been enough to use, as a soldier Wu Yi knows better.

"You've made me miserable!" Xia Yun's face was pale, and his whole old face was also hideous.

Xia Daxuan is not short of people or silver, but he is short of copper, so this red-clothed cannon also wants his life, now silver is cheap and copper is expensive, 800 wen will be exchanged for a silver ingot, and Jiannu robbery attaches more importance to copper.

"I can't help you in this matter, you can take away the people and food, but the silver will not be able to do it unless you see the copper, you go, remember the last words of the lord, see the cannon in March, otherwise the head will fall to the ground." Xia Yun's face changed, and he ignored him.

Wu Yi never thought that he would be pitted in the end, but he didn't despair, and now he also plans to take one step at a time, but if it doesn't work, he will take people to the grassland and start anew.

The next day, Wuyi received the artisan household and grain, forty carts of grain, followed by the ragged artisan household, this eunuch was really anxious, contacted overnight, and waited for them outside the city early in the morning.

Where have Wu Hu and the others seen so much grain, they all happily circled around the cart, and only Wu Yi was sad.

"I really can't imagine meeting again, when I am impressed." The escort general next to him was Cao Sheng, an old acquaintance, and he also said with emotion.

"How dare you." Wu Yi didn't bother to bother with him, now his mind was on how to get through the difficulties, this Shangshui Village has a good geographical location, and the newly opened wasteland, and there are iron mines, he will never give up until he has to.

The grain was transported to Shangshui Village and placed here, and there was no place to put the grain in the iron house, and Cao Sheng hurriedly unloaded the car and was afraid that Wu Dalang would calculate, so he took people to escort the empty car away.

Wu Yi didn't care about the grain, he went directly to the iron station, found Guo Yilu, Li Dazhui and others, and discussed the matter of casting cannons.

Guo Yilu didn't know much, so Li Dazhui frowned, it can be said that this matter is too difficult to do.

"Not to mention copper ingots, it is difficult to cast cannons this winter, even if the iron is intact, it is difficult to cast cannons in March in winter." Li Dazhui sincerely considered Wuyi, but he didn't expect Wuyi to agree to such harsh conditions.

Nowadays, they are all mud film casting guns, and it is not easy to make clay fans, and it is even more difficult to do in winter, but I am afraid that even ten miles will not be able to pick out the intact ones, and it will be in vain if cracks appear, and he dare not guarantee this one.

His words made Wu Yi even more helpless, he didn't expect that copper was not the most difficult, this was simply an incompleteable task.

"Don't panic, the method of Guangdong subway membrane is prevalent and spreads widely, and this iron fan is not easy to crack, we can try it." Guo Yilu hurriedly said, this has brought good news to everyone, as soon as Li Dazhui and others put it together, they immediately felt that it was feasible.

Wu Yi also nodded, now the copper still has to be solved.

Guo Yilu also said helplessly: "The folk copper, that is, copper coins, and copper utensils are also pitiful, and it is really difficult to collect them." ”

This is the Ming Dynasty, there is no bank, every household hides silver and copper coins, and now everyone knows that copper is expensive, so they will shoot less, otherwise there are so many high-ranking officials in Sanguan, how can they worry about copper.

Wu Yi suddenly stopped them from discussing, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind just now, but it was fleeting and did not grasp it.

"What did you say just now?" Wu Yi hurriedly asked.

Guo Yilu looked confused, just now he was also thinking of a solution, and he said several ways to cut corners, but that's it, there is no two thousand catties of copper and not enough to cast a cannon.

Iron core copper cannon, this product of the combination of copper and iron characteristics, Wu Yi didn't expect that they were discussing how to cut corners, and even involved this, and his face improved a lot, yes, this problem cannot be solved in a normal way.

"Guo Lutou and Li Jiangtou will leave the matter here to the two, we must discuss it in the shortest possible time, and Tie Fan must also be built together, and the copper matter will be solved in two months at the latest, and only one month will be enough to cast a cannon?" Wu Yi was afraid of being delayed, so he asked again.

"As long as it's not a copper mine, we're sure." Both replied in the affirmative.

Wu Yi also left the Iron Institute, since he couldn't use normal methods, and he still had to be able to dig out the copper coins hidden in the people, this would be difficult, but he still thought of a way, but now no one can tell him, and if he says it, it won't work.

"Wang Tiejun, let everyone get ready, we will go to the grassland tomorrow." Wu Yi told Wang Tiejun to prepare, and he also went to find Lao Zhao, and now he had to give him an important task to do.

"What? Let me go to so many places, how can I leave at this time, the people's army doesn't care? "Lao Zhao is now guarding one acre and three points of land, mingling with the soldiers of the People's Army every day, so he is naturally reluctant to leave.

Of course, Wu Yi didn't want to, this team really couldn't do without him as an instructor, but now the situation is critical, and he really doesn't have the right people in his hands to do this.

"Eloquence? You say me? "Lao Zhao really didn't expect that he would one day go on a mission because of his eloquence, that is all what civilian lobbyists do.

Wu Yi also made a decision directly, this matter really belongs to him, and now Lao Zhao's mouth is not simple, and the two of them have begun to sum up.

It's all for the sake of the copper cannon, and now Wuyi has also found a way to solve it, not only can he make the copper cannon, but he can even let Xia Daxuan pay out of his pocket to cast the cannon for himself, but I don't know what Xia Daxuan's face will be when he knows it.

This time he went to the grassland to determine whether Hailanzhu had dealt with their tribe, so he didn't bring any goods, just prepared some gifts, and if they couldn't do it with the Chahar tribe, he would go to the Tumut tribe.
