Chapter 56 Guns and Ammunition

At night, I dreamed of the three of Jiang Bosong's general office, eating and talking in a better restaurant; At first, I asked Mr. Song if he wanted iron? When the Song General Office heard this, he nodded again and again and said that he wanted it, and he didn't eat the meal first and asked about the dream; Mengqi didn't answer and asked General Song Office first, where did the iron used by the Jilin Bureau buy it now? How much silver? General Office Song replied: At the beginning of the construction of their factory bureau, Li Jinyong, the original candidate prefect, found a small iron ore vein in a small mine cave mountain in Yongxingtun, Changshan, and the iron ore was very small and the iron yield was low, and it was difficult to transport it in the deep mountains.

After listening to the dream, he said: Uncle Song, I can find a big iron mine, are you willing to cooperate with the little nephew to mine, the iron ore is provided by the little nephew, and the little nephew is also responsible for the transportation of the protective guards, you only need to send craftsmen to mine and smelt iron, and we will get fifty percent of the iron, I don't know if Uncle Song can you see it? When General Song heard this, it was a good thing, the Jilin Bureau had always been short of iron, its own small iron mine produced too little iron, the purchase distance was too far and the cost was too high, and now if you want General Xiyuan to allocate silver to buy iron, it is simply impossible.

Therefore, in the past few years, it has greatly affected the output of guns and artillery in the Jilin Bureau, and even the idea of building a small gunboat for river defense has been temporarily abandoned because of the lack of iron. If Mengqi can provide iron ore to cooperate with the Jilin Bureau for mining, and there is no need for General Xiyuan to allocate money, the Jilin Bureau can obtain a large amount of iron, then the Jilin Bureau can continue to produce some guns, and there may be small gunboats made of iron, which is a good thing.

The Song General Office heard that it could provide iron ore, and it was also a large iron mine, and the guards and transportation did not need to be sent out by the officials, but the officials were just asked to send personnel to mine iron, what is the difficulty, the craftsmen and mining personnel are now available in the Jilin Bureau, and if it is not enough, it can also be transferred to Jilin, which is not a problem at all, this matter can be done; It is fair and feasible to have five for the iron production and five for the official family, but who will pay for the iron-making equipment?

When he dreamed of listening to Uncle Song ask about the equipment, he thought for a while and said that he could give out the money, but the purchase, installation, commissioning, maintenance and use of the equipment must be the responsibility of the official; General Song heard that he said that it would be easy for him to give out the silver, as long as there is no need for the Jilin Bureau to issue the silver now, and there is no need for General Xiyuan to allocate the silver, this matter will be easy to do, and it can be done.

As for those mining and iron-making equipment, the Jilin Bureau can now build it by itself, and Mengqi only needs to pay for the silver, and it is not a problem to install, debug, repair and use, and then they discussed the details of the matter, and Mengqi demanded that the property rights of the equipment belong to him, and he has the right to appoint apprentices and craftsmen to various parts of this mining area, and the number is not limited; In the end, he also demanded that his grandfather Meng Yi be transferred back as soon as possible, and that he be appointed as the supreme governor of the mining area, on the grounds that the iron ore was now the property of a relative of the craftsman Meng Yi; After the Song General Office agreed, the matter was decided.

After that, Mengqi entrusted Jiang Bo and asked him to inform their master Heng Bo, and when they minted iron here, in addition to their own use, they also entrusted Heng Bo to help contact and sell iron to other places, and Jiang Bo agreed. Mengqi bought 150 revolvers and 90,000 guns from Jiang Bo; Jiang Bo said that there were 50 guns and 15,000 guns in stock, and the others needed to wait, and Mengqi agreed to let Jiang Bo send someone to deliver the existing guns and ammunition first.

Mr. Song's office listened to the two talking about buying guns and thought to himself: Dream that the family should be the sphere of influence of the Han family, and there are gold bandits and bandits everywhere, and there are really no guns or weapons to survive, his family has a gold mine to guard, and they are also responsible for protecting the iron mine of this cooperation, this gun and weapon are really indispensable! Seeing that the two of them finished talking, General Manager Song asked Mengqi and said: Screwdriver, our Jilin Bureau has its own design and production of Xilin guns, and two Makqin heavy machine gun sample guns purchased from Germany, can we sell one to you, do you want one?

Dream up and listen, this is a good thing, but this thing is too heavy and too expensive to eat, and according to the opponent in the current surrounding environment, it doesn't seem to be very useful, especially now this kind of Xilin cannon and this kind of Maxim heavy machine gun, it should be the earliest gun type with black powder ammunition, the use of black powder lead bullet, the effect is too poor, or find a way to make smokeless gunpowder first, produce real ****** bullet ammunition, and then think about making guns and machine guns, and ****** Mixed stabilized explosives should also be developed first.

Mengqi quickly finished thinking about it and said to the General Office of Song: Uncle Song, the Xilin Cannon and the Makqin heavy machine gun are too heavy and expensive to shoot, and the mine protection is not very useful, so the little nephew will not buy it for the time being, but I still want to thank you, Uncle Song. By the way, Uncle Song, can you send a few craftsmen who produce guns and ammunition from the Jilin Bureau to your little nephew, and the little nephew can pay more commissions to your bureau.

Mengqi then said to the General Office of Song: Uncle Song, the little nephew wants to produce some guns and ammunition by himself, and the production equipment is also purchased from your Jilin Bureau, and the old equipment used by your Jilin Bureau is also fine, I wonder if Uncle Song can you do it?

General Song originally considered the protection of the iron mine in the later period, so he wanted to help Mengqi get two heavy weapons, but after talking about it, he thought about it and said that this gun was too heavy and too expensive. Later, I heard that I wanted the Jilin Bureau to send him craftsmen to produce guns and ammunition by himself, and the equipment was also purchased from their Jilin Bureau.

This thing is feasible, since Lord Wu was transferred away a few years ago, after General Xi Yuan took over the management of the Jilin Bureau, the Jilin Bureau has basically been in a state of suspension for the production of guns and ammunition, and those gun and ammunition craftsmen are basically idle, and can only help the bureau to mint money to produce as small workers, and the food and silver are not less than half-raised, if this is sent to Mengqi in the past, one can reduce the labor and food silver expenses of some of the craftsmen who are now useless, and can also collect part of the commission income of the dispatchers, and can also buy the equipment for the production of guns and ammunition for Mengqi, can earn a lot of silver taels, and more importantly, the equipment for the production of guns and ammunition, the Jilin Bureau can now imitate and produce, and some of the old equipment can be updated, and the old equipment that has been updated and replaced can be bought for Mengqi to get the silver taels, and I believe that General Xiyuan will also be very willing to do so.

After thinking about it, the Song General Office discussed with Mengqi in detail, and finally decided to send three craftsmen for the production of guns and ammunition to Mengqi, and Mengqi was responsible for all the daily expenses of the three craftsmen, such as food, silver, etc., and gave the Jilin Bureau 150 taels of silver every month......
