Zhang Zi'an accepted a huge bribe from Wang Pu, and he worked really hard, and said hello to the stewards and eunuchs of the three weapons workshops that afternoon.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Pu led people to one of the weapons workshops.

Wang Pu asked the eunuch in charge to call the master in the weapons workshop, took out the flintlock-style short-handled musket given to him by the foreigner, and said, "Master take a look at this musket first." ”

The old master took the musket from Wang Pu's hand, observed it repeatedly for half an hour, and returned the musket to Wang Pu.

Wang Pu asked, "Master, can you make this musket by lengthening the barrel to three feet, and changing the short gun into a long spear?" ”

"Absolutely." The old master nodded without hesitation and said, "But with such a thin and three-foot-long pipe, if you want to use fine iron without exploding, you have to use steel with higher strength, which will be much more difficult to process, and the man-hours will be much longer, and a lot of steel will be required." ”

"How long does it take to process a spear like this?"

"At least a month!" The master replied, "However, fifty firearms can be made at the same time." ”

Fifty muskets per month, three workshops at the same time can only produce 150, at this rate of only 1,800 a year, this speed obviously does not make Wang Pu satisfied.

Wang Pu asked reluctantly, "Can it be accelerated?" ”

The old master said: "Even if we can speed up the construction, but Datong doesn't have enough steel?" The iron-smelting yards in Datong could not produce steel, only the iron-smelting yards in Nanzhili and Liangguang produced steel, and there was a ration every year, and the steel in Datong Prefecture was supplied by Taicang, the capital division, and the annual ration was only enough to make 200 such firearms. ”

"That's right." Wang Pu frowned and said, "Then what if the material is replaced with fine iron, and then the pipe is thickened?" ”

"That's a lot easier." The old master said, "If the material of the gun tube is replaced with fine iron, the processing speed can be at least twice as fast." ”

"Okay, then use fine iron." Wang Pu nodded, then took out a piece of paper with a pattern from his bosom and handed it to the old master, saying, "Master take a look at this again." ”

The old master took the pattern and looked at it for a while before asking in a low voice, "This seems to be a dragon king cannon with a handle?" ”

"Yes, this is the Dragon King Cannon with a wooden handle." Wang Pu said, "But this wooden handle is empty, and there is a medicine thread in the middle. ”

The old master said: "This is easy to do, as long as there is enough pig iron and fire, at least a thousand can be made every month." ”

Wang Pu turned around and said to the eunuch in charge of the weapons workshop: "Father-in-law, just these two things, I will make as many as I want." ”

The steward eunuch said to the old master, "Have you heard everything? The master of the horse is to run an errand for the lord of the horse, and you are to run an errand for the imperial court, and from now on, you will put down other things and make every effort to make these two firearms! If you can't pay the difference when the time comes, don't blame our family for being polite. ”

The old master replied respectfully: "Yes." ”

"And." The steward eunuch said gloomily, "If you dare to leak half a word about this matter today, you will be beaten to death with a stick!" ”

The old master shuddered, bent down and responded, "Yes." ”

"Go ahead." The steward eunuch waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

The old master hurriedly fled and left, and the eunuch in charge turned around and smiled at Wang Pumei: "Master Ma, the dust in the workshop is too big, please go back to your body and precious money, as for the things you want, send someone to pick them up when the time comes." ”

Wang Pu hugged his fists and smiled: "Then there is Gonggong Lao." ”

As he was talking, Xiao Qi suddenly rushed in and gasped, "General, the fight has started." ”

Wang Pu frowned and asked, "What's the fight?" It's a mess. ”

Xiao Qi said: "Scarface fought with the Shaolin abbot and Mr. Zhao after the 80s. ”

"Scarface?" Wang Puhuo said, "Why? ”

"It's not about grabbing fans."

"Who is this Chief Zhao Bing?"

"Who else can there be, Zhao Santai, deputy chief soldier of Datong."

"The dog said he didn't pack up." Wang Pu snorted, turned back to the steward and eunuch and clenched his fists, "Father-in-law, my subordinates don't know what to do, so I have to wipe their butts again." ”

The steward eunuch smiled: "Master Ma is busy with your going." ”

"Farewell."

Wang Pu hugged his fists, and took Xiao Qi out of the weapons workshop and went straight to the Shaolin abbot after the 80s.

■■■

The Shaolin abbot of the post-80s is the largest Goolan courtyard in Datong, and the girl in Datong in the five northern provinces is famous for the water spirit, and the Shaolin abbot of the post-80s has gathered the most watery girl in Datong.

However, this will be the post-80s Shaolin abbot, but there are already chickens flying and dogs jumping, and the saber is rattling.

Zhao Santai, the deputy chief soldier of Datong Town, stood in the hall with a blue face, and was looking up viciously at the private room facing the hall on the second floor.

In the private room on the second floor, Scarface is drinking and having fun indifferently, opposite Scarface sits the two most beautiful fans of the Shaolin abbot after the 80s, Jiao Niang and Hongxing, and at the foot of Scarface is stepping on Zhao Santai's cronies Zhao Liujin, Zhao Liujin has been beaten by Scarface, his nose is blue and his face is swollen, and he is lying on the ground humming.

The door to the private room was open.

The two brothers brought by Scarface carried waist knives and guarded the door like fierce gods, although there were many people on the other side, but the two of them were the same as Scarface, looking indifferent, and the two sides were tense, and there was a great momentum of triggering.

We have to start from the beginning.

Wang Pu was transferred to the commander of the Beijing camp, and the Datong general army was vacant, in addition to a general soldier in Datong Town, there were two deputy general soldiers below, and Zhao Wuzhu, the deputy general soldier who followed Wang Pu to Liaodong, has been dismissed and sentenced to a prison sentence, and now only Zhao Santai is left as a deputy general soldier.

Zhao Santai is the brother-in-law of Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the generals below all think that Zhao Santai will be the deficient of Wang Pu, and Zhao Santai himself thinks so.

Although the court's denigration has not yet come down, Zhao Santai has already brought his generals to the post-80s Shaolin abbot to celebrate with flowers and wine, and the post-80s Shaolin abbot's Jiao Xing is Zhao Santai's old friend, but it was only after the 80s that Shaolin abbot Zhao Santai knew that Jiao Xing had already let people give her a bag, and it was either someone else or Scarface.

Zhao Santai usually doesn't even pay much attention to Wang Pu, Scarface is just a small Qianzong, of course he won't put it in his eyes, and at that time, he asked his cronies to forcibly ask for Zhao Liujin, who knew that Scarface didn't buy Zhao Santai's account at all, and beat Zhao Liujin with a blue nose and swollen face, and said that he wanted to redeem Jiao Xing.

Everyone knows that Jiao Xing is Zhao Santai's old friend, and Scarface wants to redeem her, isn't that intended to humiliate Zhao Santai?

Of course, Zhao Santai couldn't swallow this breath, but he was afraid of Wang Pu behind the scarface, and the people on both sides were consumed like this.

Scar-faced was born as a bandit, and he didn't pay attention to the tension in front of him, and suddenly put down the wine glass and said loudly: "Xing'er, come, sit on the lap of the master." ”

Hong Xing Yingying got up, walked to Scarface's side and twisted her waist and sat on his lap, Scarface reached out to hug Hong Xingliu's waist, and then turned back to the hall and laughed proudly: "Zhao Santai, you have seen it, it is Hongxing She herself is willing to follow me, she said that you can't do that job, this thing is not bad for me Scarface is not authentic." ”

Zhao Santai's face suddenly twitched, and a black gas also appeared between his eyebrows.

A staff general suddenly came to Zhao Santai's side and whispered softly: "General, the last general heard that Wang Pu let go of a group of horse thieves in Futuyu, Wang Pu is the governor of Beijing and a relative of the emperor, of course this account can't be counted on him, but general, if you take Scarface, and then charge him with arson, Wang Pu is afraid and has nothing to say." ”

Zhao Santai's eyes suddenly revealed murderous intent, and he shouted: "Come on, take down the scarface!" ”

"Yes!"

"Who dare!?"

The generals and more than a dozen personal soldiers behind Zhao Santai suddenly agreed, and when they were about to rush to the private room to get people, a thunderous sound suddenly came from outside the gate of the Shaolin abbot of the post-80s.
