Chapter 188 Good things come in pairs
Hearing that the vendor said it was gasoline, Li Er also got off the dragon chair and snorted, he was also smoking!
The peddler trampled on the cigarette and extinguished it, "He Liang, why didn't you say it earlier, can this thing be brought to the main hall, if it catches fire, it doesn't matter if it burns people, you can't afford to burn something"
Li Er, who was bald to the ground, simply couldn't get up when he heard this, for fear that the hawker would have any more amazing words to scare him, so the hawker reprimanded Wang and Liang, and then pointed to the gasoline and asked, "What are you bringing this thing for?" ”
Wang and Liang's face was excited, "Uncle Shi, take a closer look"
"It's all gasoline, what's the difference?" As he spoke, the vendor lowered his head and glanced at the gasoline in the plastic bucket, and suddenly froze, colorless!
Generally, domestic gasoline has a bit of a yellowish feeling, but the gasoline in the barrel is actually colorless, which means that the gasoline here is much more than the kind of conscience that he brought, at least it is filtered cleanly.
No, this thing has been in the wild as a wild man, is it, thinking of this possibility, the hawker is also excited, "With Liang, you have hit the oil?" “
Wang and Liang nodded vigorously with tense mouths, and the peddler grabbed his shoulders excitedly, "Great, by the way, is there any diesel?" ”
"Yes, the barrel is diesel, oh yes, there's a kind of black, oil refining dregs, I didn't bring it back, it seems that that thing is useless, as soon as it's cold, it's frozen."
The peddler thought for a while before he remembered that what Wang Youliang said should be asphalt: "That thing is useful, don't throw it away, you have to rely on him to build roads and waterproofing in the future."
Li Erhui also came around, "Wang Daochang, this is oiled"
"Back to Your Majesty, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and I spent a year with Liang and all the Taoist friends, and finally found oil in our Datang, and your car can be filled with oil produced in our Datang in the future."
"Hahahaha" Li Er heard such good news, and almost went crazy, "Dabao, do you see it, my Datang has oil, and I don't need to add your black-hearted oil in the future, haha, I Datang has oil"
Seeing Li Er so happy, the peddler couldn't bear to disturb him, it seems that the oil field and drilling equipment are their own efforts, fundamentally speaking, Li Er wants to refuel, but he has to find himself, as for the price of oil, it depends on his own happiness!
After calming down, Li Er waved his hand, "Come on, the proposed decree, the king and Liang are meritorious in finding oil, giving fifty horses of various colors of silk and satin, rewarding thousands of silver, adding viscounts, and other meritorious people will be sealed separately."
Although the peddler had also told Wang and Liang before that once he found oil, he would definitely ask His Majesty to make him an official and knight, but that was just a blank check.
Now that they heard with their own ears that they had been made viscounts, Wang and Liang couldn't believe that this was true, and hurriedly saluted Li Er, "Thank you for your grace"
Li Er waved his hand, "This is what you deserve, come, give the royal road a seat, it is the big day when your uncle returns to the door today, let's not get drunk and not return"
Wang and Liang hugged their fists, "Thank you, Your Majesty, it's just that this meal is exempt, and Liang go back to see my father and Master Taishi, I have to go back quickly, the production over there is inseparable from people for a moment, if Your Majesty can, please send as many people as possible to help"
"Wang Daochang is really self-denial, don't worry, I will send someone to help, by the way, the person who came to continue to draw up the order, and the right guard allocated 1,000 soldiers, stationed in District 11, responsible for oil production and security and confidentiality matters, unless there is a warrant, anyone who trespasses in District 11 will be killed."
District 11 is the code name given by the hawker to Wang and Liang to the place where they drilled wells, after all, oil is something that will not be able to make money and kill the enemy in the future, although it is impossible to keep it secret permanently, but it is a while to be able to cover it for a while, so the hawker told Li Er that if there is anything that needs to be kept secret in the future, it will be called by the code name, as for why it is called District 11, who knows what kind of wind the hawker smoked at that time, and thought of this code!
Wang and Liang left the two barrels of oil and went back to Xuandu to visit Wang Xingzong and Wang Yuanzhi, they didn't even eat a hot meal, so they kowtowed and left again, and the distressed Wang Xingzong didn't want it, "This kid is too desperate, you rest at home for two days, can't you go again after the New Year?" “
Wang Yuanzhi reprimanded, "The boy is ambitious in all directions, and now he and Liang are made viscounts by His Majesty, and when they are serving the country, how can they use family affection to bond with Liang, go, the prince will support you"
After Wang and Liang left, Li Er's mood was obviously better, but as the saying goes, disasters do not go alone, good things come in pairs, and there are not too many big things, and someone in the palace asks to see him, and he brings it in to see that it is a master of money from the Ministry of Industry, and the old man is now also a person with the title of county baron.
But the dress is still plain, a blue khaki overalls taken from the hawker, with a little greasy, the same hair is twisted, and now he has short hair similar to that of the hawker, and he doesn't wear a hat, so he came to see Li Er.
"Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, the things you explained are done, please check it out for Your Majesty"
Li Er's expression can no longer be described as excited, "Really, come forward and I'll take a look"
"Yes," Master Qian said as he handed Li Er a strip wrapped in linen cloth in his arms, and the peddler guessed that it could be a dragon slaying sword or a heavenly sword or something.
But after Li Er removed the sackcloth, the peddler's eyes glared out, and it turned out that under the sackcloth was actually a musket, and it was the oldest form.
However, this gun is presented as a tribute to Li Er, the style is very good-looking and carved some flowers, it seems that a lot of effort has been put in, Li Er got up and glanced at the door of the main hall, "Haha, I also have such a sharp weapon, come to Dabao, help me see, where needs to be improved"
The hawker took the gun handed by Li Er, and felt a sharp sinking, the first feeling was that it was too heavy or too weak, so he flattened the gun hard, and the hawker also glanced at the door of the main hall and put the gun down, "Master Qian, can there be bullets and gunpowder?" ”
Lao Qian took out two packs of things from his pocket, and "some national teachers" handed the things to the vendor as he spoke, and the vendor held it in his hand, "Your Majesty, let's find an empty place to try?" ”
"Okay, let's go to the Taiye Pool"
The group came to the Taiye Pool, the hawker stood still at the water's edge, and the charge and ammunition of the door clear were all practiced by beating rabbits when he was a child, but the gun was collected recently, and the craftsmanship was a bit raw, but anyway, it was not on the battle array, there was time to grope, everything was done, and this time the master Qian did not forget to bring a lead.
Seeing the lead handed by Master Qian, the hawker grinned at something primitive, but let's make do with it first, and after lighting it, he held this ancient firearm flat, and the vendor fired a shot into the distance.
Don't say it, don't look at the old gun, the voice is still loud, bang, a large cloud of gunpowder smoke rises, and the recoil shook the hawker back two steps, Li Er helped him so that he wouldn't fall to the ground, "Dabao, how is it, how do you feel?" What needs to be improved? ”
The peddler handed the gun to Li Er and rubbed his shoulder, "It's more, first, the weight of the gun should be reduced, and it is generally more appropriate to achieve between five and eight catties, otherwise the soldier's long-term short gun is very laborious."
"Second, and most importantly, see this" The vendor took out his Zhibao from his pocket and lit it with a thud, "The fuse can be replaced with flint, so that even if it rains, you can still guarantee shooting"
"In the end, after the master goes back, try to make gunpowder and bullets into one, you can try the paper shell, and most importantly, the barrel is best rifled, such as this "The hawker also generously showed his AK and envied Li Er.
The peddler pointed to the rifling inside the barrel to show people, and Master Qian wrote it down meticulously, although it was only a few short sentences, but it seemed to open a door, which made people feel like "The national teacher is really powerful, I will go back to improve"
After saying that, the old man didn't say goodbye to Li Er and went back directly, he was a workaholic again, Li Er was very satisfied with Qian Dajiang's attitude towards doing things, "Dabao, you see that this oil is also available, shouldn't we develop something?" (To be continued.) )
