Hearing his words, Bi Maokang twisted his beard and smiled: "Guohua, don't talk about Huaxia's firecracker, if you keep talking, the old man will lose sleep again, Daming's firearm can do this, and the old man is also very satisfied......"

"Good, good...... I won't say it, I won't say it......" Zhao Guohua said and laughed

The ignition method of the 3,000-rod Rumis gun was also changed to the method of gear rubbing flint. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The firing method of the flintlock pistol was improved, and Zhao Guohua planned to take advantage of the opportunity of Bi Maokang and many firearms masters in the Ordnance Bureau to improve the loading method of the flintlock pistol. The average caliber of the flintlock pistol was about 13.7 mm, and since the reloading musket had not yet been invented, it was a high demand for the ammunition loading technology of the time. At that time, the flintlock pistol used a front-loading loading method, when loading the projectile, it was necessary to put the projectile into the muzzle, use a wooden hammer to feed the cartridge stick, and push the gun into the chamber, which was very time-consuming, and on the battlefield, it meant wasting life.

After discussing and studying this problem with Bi Maokang, with the cooperation of Du Decai, Wei Sanxi, and Yang Hong, three firearms masters, after many tests, it was found that the lead bullet was loaded into the muzzle by wrapping it in oil-soaked linen cloth or oil-soaked silk, which not only reduced friction, accelerated the loading speed, but also played a role in holding air, and the accuracy was improved, and the firing range was also increased.

After the 3,000 new Lumi guns were manufactured, they bought 50,000 catties of gunpowder, which cost a total of 130,000 taels of silver, and was still escorted by the Zhenwei Dart Bureau in Nanjing. Because of the large number of goods this time, the Zhenwei Dart Bureau also transferred a lot of manpower from other sub-bureaus, and the route was to use a boat to go up the Yangtze River into Poyang Lake, and then enter the Ganjiang River through Poyang Lake to transport it to JX, and then send it to Ji'an Province by a convoy.

Because it is from the Yangtze River, it needs to be fiber-pulled. Therefore, Zhenwei Dart Bureau found fifty slender men, and from the dock in Nanjing, the slender men began to work.

As the saying goes: there are three kinds of bitterness in the world, striking iron, pulling fiber, and grinding tofu. "Fifty slender men, their heads wrapped in white cloth, **** wearing straw sandals on their upper bodies and feet, shoulders and ropes bent down to pull two boats, step by step forward, and the shoulders were stretched out by the rope with red marks.

The next day, the boat line entered a long and narrow river, the mountains on both sides of the river became more and more precipitous, the water flow became more and more turbulent, the river "roared" downstream, the downward boat galloped downstream, the upward boat traveled very hard, the slender man bent his body and bent over, his forehead was low and almost touched the ground, the sweat on the black and brown skin flowed, the mouth shouted the trumpet, the trumpet of the slender man between the canyons for several miles rose one after another, endlessly.

Finally, after all the hardships along the way, the cargo ship truck arrived in Ji'an Province smoothly.

"Captain...... Captain ...... The captain ...... "Cheng Chong, Sun Fu, Zhang Shun and other officers saw that Zhao Guohua was back, and they greeted him one after another, Zhao Guohua is the core of the Volunteer Brigade, and they haven't seen each other for nearly a month, and everyone is very happy to see him."

In the armory of the joint defense brigade, looking at the brand-new Lu Mi gun in the wooden box, Cheng Chong, Sun Fu, Zhang Shun and other officers were very excited, and they were full of longing for the future of the volunteer brigade.

After another half a month, it was the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is also called the New Year, whether ancient or modern, whether north or south, the Spring Festival is the most solemn festival for the Chinese. On the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, there were many people outside the city in Yongxin City, and the voices of people were boiling, and the cries of selling came and went, and it was very lively. Everyone is busy selling New Year's goods, this year because of Zhao Guohua's chemical workshop, not only the villagers of Mingfeng Village have a better life, many people working in the chemical workshop from other villages or other places have surplus money in their hands, everyone buys this and that in YX County, white flour and rice, firecrackers and Spring Festival couplets are the best to buy.

"Boss Yang, your firecrackers are running low, it seems that they are not enough to sell today." Boss Jiang, who sells Spring Festival couplets, said with a smile.

Boss Yang said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect it to sell so fast this year, it seems that I will buy more goods next year, Boss Jiang, I think your Spring Festival couplets are selling well......"

"TOEFL TOEFL, let's get rich together, get rich together......" The two of them said and laughed.

Chen Daquan, the owner of the grain store of YX County Chengxin Rice Shop, commanded the guys to weigh the rice and noodles, and they were very busy, and many of the people who came to buy white noodles were familiar faces from Mingfeng Village.

"This brother, I see that you are a little familiar, you are from Mingfeng Village......" Chen Daquan smiled and greeted a young man who had come to buy rice with a burden.

"Yes, yes, many of us are from Mingfeng Village, and those who work in Mingfeng Village." The young man carrying the burden said with a smile, and then pointed to some of the people in line.

Looking at the long queue, Chen Daquan asked strangely: "Brother, I am not the only one who sells rice in YX County, why don't you go to other places to sell it, but queue up at my house to buy it?" ”

Hearing this, the young man who was carrying the burden said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, we heard from Captain Zhao of the Joint Defense Brigade that your grain and rice store is fair in business, and your guys are kind and kind, so we came to your store to buy rice and noodles." ”

"This Zhao Guohua is helping me play cards and pull business!" Chen Daquan said with emotion in his heart.

After thinking about it, Chen Daquan said: "You Zhao Guohua give me face, and I will also give you face." So he said loudly: "Folks, I admire Captain Zhao's personality, since he asked you to come, I will announce here that in the future, the villagers of Mingfeng Village or those who work in Mingfeng Village, whoever buys enough rice noodles for two taels of silver, will be given 20 large meat buns for free." ”

"Great! Great......" The man who bought the rice and noodles shouted loudly in surprise.

Seeing this, Chen Daquan smiled, he knew that in the future, there would be many people pretending to be people from Mingfeng Village to buy rice and noodles, on the surface, it was a loss, but in fact, it was taking advantage, because it brought new customers, and the small profits were enough to offset the cost of the meat buns sent out.

Zhao Guohua took Sun Fu to pay New Year's greetings to Governor Meng and Chen Sheng, and each of them gave a New Year's fee of 2,000 taels of silver, and ten Jinhua hams and two jars of "Daughter Red" wine. I went to Ji'an Mansion and sent the same gift. After receiving the gift, Tang Zhengming laughed and sent Zhao Guohua out of the hundred households.

When he returned to YX County, Zhao Guohua went to the county government again, but Song Zhong, the county magistrate, did not accept gifts, and finally under Zhao Guohua's hospitality, he only accepted two hundred taels of silver and two Jinhua hams and a jar of "Daughter Red" wine.

"This Lord Song is not greedy for money, he is not lustful, he is a good official......" Out of the county office, Sun Fu praised.

Looking back at the county office, Zhao Guohua sighed: "It's a pity that there are too few such officials in Daming, otherwise Daming would not have fallen to such a point." ”

Then, the two went to pay New Year's greetings to Master Niu and Wang Zhutou, and each gave two hundred taels of silver, and then returned to the joint defense brigade

Since the expansion of the army, Zhao Guohua has moved the chemical workshop to the edge of YX County, and most of the people in the village have followed.

As soon as she returned to the brigade headquarters, Sun Xiaomei walked in and said happily: "Brother Zhao, my father has stewed meat, my mother has stewed chicken, just wait for you and my eldest brother......"

"Let's go, Brother Zhao, don't let Xiaomei down with her kindness." Sun Fu said with a smile.

When Sun Xiaomei heard this, her face turned red, and she glanced at Zhao Guohua secretly, and then she blushed and said, "Big brother, don't talk nonsense, it was my father and mother who called me......" After speaking, she hurriedly lowered her head and walked out quickly.

Glancing at Sun Fu with a smile, Zhao Guohua said, "Let's go, go home and drink." After saying that, he walked out, Sun Fu smiled and followed.

The new Mingfeng Village Migrant Village, the houses are neat, the road is straight, and flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the road, which looks very beautiful and beautiful. At Zhao Guohua's request, the village implemented a unified construction method and distributed lots, and the villagers only needed to pay some silver money to get a house of more than 100 square meters. The villagers are all working in the chemical industry, and their lives are not bad, so every family has money to buy a house. Along the way, the villagers had to take Zhao Guohua to their house to drink. Zhao Guohua smiled and declined one by one.

When he arrived at Sun Laohan's house, Sun You was preparing to paste Spring Festival couplets at the door, and when he saw Zhao Guohua coming, he happily greeted him, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you are here, come in, my father and my mother are waiting for you inside." ”

Zhao Guohua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take a look at the couplet you posted." After speaking, I opened the Spring Festival couplets and looked at them, the upper link is a happy treasure land for thousands of years, and the lower link is a blessing to the family. Horizontal batch: Welcome the New Year.

"Yes, yes, the content of this couplet is in line with our Mingfeng Village, which is very interesting." Zhao Guohua nodded and commented.

After listening to Zhao Guohua's comments, Sun Youle grinned, and said while laughing: "Brother Zhao, this couplet was selected by me from dozens of couplets. ”

As he was talking, Sun Laohan, his wife and Sun Fu walked out, and Sun Laohan said with a smile: "Guohua, go in and wait for you......" said and pulled Zhao Guohua to go in

"Captain, wait......" Zhang Shun and the old boy Wang Delu shouted, walked over, the two smiled and bowed to Zhao Guohua, and greeted the Sun family father and son with a smile.

Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "You two don't go to post Spring Festival couplets on your door, what are you doing here, do you want to ......eat at Uncle Sun's house?"
