Walking into the iron shop, Wang Jundao's six senses were sensitive, and he could faintly feel a scorching wave of air coming to his face.

In the front hall of the iron shop, there is no forging place, there are no forging tools, only countless forged utensils, on the left is a variety of iron tools used by the people, and on the right is swords, guns, swords and halberds and other weapons.

Jiang Yan, the shopkeeper of the iron shop, and the two men in their thirties in the iron shop had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Wang Jundao, they hurriedly greeted him, and shouted respectfully: "My lord, you are here." ”

Wang Jundao nodded and said, "Take me to see the forging place." ”

"Yes." Jiang Yan naturally didn't dare to disobey in the slightest, and took Wang Jundao into the back door of the front hall, passed through the front yard of the iron shop, and then passed through the middle hall that held the finished products and forging raw materials, and the group came to the backyard of the iron shop, which is the real forging place.

The area of the backyard is very large, at least seven or eight hundred square meters, here all kinds of forging equipment are complete, more than forty blacksmiths are forging their own things, although it is winter, most of them are sweating like rain in their bare arms, forging, quenching, rolling, forming, planing, grinding, inlay and other crafts are vividly displayed by them.

Wang Jundao noticed an old man who was slashing the barrel of the gun, he was about sixty years old, with a sturdy body, and there was no trace of old age, but it made people feel that he had inexhaustible strength.

Wang Jundao could see at a glance that he was a master of the house, and at this time, his eyes were focused, and he was proficient in his own craft, and he didn't even pay attention to the arrival of Wang Jundao and his party.

Jiang Yan saw that Wang Jundao was interested in this old man, and explained with a smile: "My lord, his name is Tao Ye, he calls himself Yezi, and he always compares himself to Ou Yezi, a sword-casting master in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so we also call him Tao Yezi, his ancestor is Tao Hongjing, a sword-casting master of the Southern Dynasty, and he himself has practiced a superb forging technique with his grandfather since he was a child. ”

"When he was young, he worked as a craftsman in the Anqing Ordnance Institute for three years, developed foreign guns and foreign cannons, and after the Qing army captured Nanjing, the capital of the Taiping Army, the Anqing Ordnance Institute moved to Jinling and changed it to the Jinling Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, and he left at that time."

"Ten years ago, he opened this iron shop here, but unfortunately he was obsessed with the way of forging and was not good at management, this iron shop was bought by a squire in Zhonggong Township, and he had nowhere to go, so he stayed here all these years, specializing in refining the art of forging."

"These blacksmiths, all of them were brought up by him, and he never hid his teaching, so although most of the people here are not his real disciples, they have all received his true inheritance, and five of them are no longer below him."

Found a treasure!

This was Wang Jundao's first feeling after listening to Jiang Yan's words, and he felt that the two drawings he had prepared should have been settled.

Wang Jundao couldn't help but step forward, at this time, the work in Tao Yezi's hand had also been completed, looking at the bright and smooth barrel, he raised his head, just in time to see Wang Jundao walking in front of him, his eyes suddenly turned, looked at Jiang Yan not far away and the people next to him, his heart was already a little clear, he handed the barrel in his hand to Wang Jundao, and said: "What does Gongzi think of my gun barrel?" ”

Wang Jundao took the barrel, touched it, glanced at it slightly, and said: "The materials are good, the craftsmanship is good, the workmanship is good, and it is quite beautiful, but the barrel is a little twisted. ”

"Yes, Childe is very discerning." Tao Yezi not only did not get angry because of Wang Jundao's words, but laughed heartily, took the barrel of the gun, threw it into the blast furnace, and returned to the furnace to rebuild, without taking the fruits of his half-hour labor into his eyes at all.

"Tao Lao, look at my drawings." Wang Jundao said with a slight smile. As he spoke, he took out the first drawing from his briefcase and handed it to Tao Yezi.

This is a three-page blueprint for a new pistol, in which all parts of the gun are clearly marked, drawn from all directions, and each assembly part is dissected, and the style and size of each part are clearly marked.

The name of the gun is 'Piercing Sky', which is one of several classic pistols designed by Wang Jundao in his previous life, and even in that era, the 'Piercing Sky' pistol can be regarded as the pinnacle of the world.

Tao Yezi took the drawings, at first he didn't think so, but after a while, he was completely obsessed with it, a finished pistol seemed to have appeared vividly in front of his eyes, he never expected that the boy in front of him, who looked at most fifteen or sixteen years old, would design such a perfect pistol, with his vision, he was sure that this pistol, once produced, was absolutely unparalleled in the world.

After a long time, he couldn't help but look at Wang Jundao with burning eyes, and asked, "This is what you designed?" ”

"Yes." Wang Jundao nodded and asked, "Can it be produced?" ”

"As long as there are precise drawings, there is nothing that I can't produce." Tao Yezi said proudly.

"Okay." Wang Jundao smiled strongly, and took out the design of the fully automatic rifle from his briefcase, the gun is also called 'Piercing the Sky', which is a rifle widely used by the army of the Republic in later generations.

He handed the drawings to Tao Yezi and said, "Look at this gun again, you can see if you can make it." ”

Tao Yezi looked at the design of this rifle, and his heart was turbulent again, but his brows were also tightly furrowed, obviously, this gun was too much beyond his cognition, and he didn't understand many of the principles in it.

"There is all the principle analysis in it, you take it slowly, and after you understand it, you can try it to see if you can produce it." Wang Jundao said with a smile. He looked at the complete range of manual machines in the courtyard and felt that there was nothing wrong with producing such a gun, but it would take time to complete.

"No problem, although it seems a little troublesome, but for the first time in so many years, I feel like this, even if I don't eat or sleep, I will produce him in the shortest possible time." Tao Yezi said, his brows stretched, and he laughed loudly.

"Once it is produced, the test is successful, and the desired effect is achieved, I wonder if Tao Lao can make a machine that can produce various parts? I need to mass-produce the 'Sky Piercing' pistol and the 'Sky Piercing' rifle. Wang Jundao asked tentatively.

"As long as the sample gun can be made, the machine, the worker, and the bullet are not a problem." Tao Yezi said heartily.

"Hmm." Wang Jundao nodded, if Tao Yezi can produce the 'Piercing Sky' pistol and 'Piercing Heaven' rifle to his satisfaction, then he will give Tao Yezi more weapon design drawings, and after all kinds of weapons are developed, he will take them to the arsenal to set up an assembly line, and then mass produce them, and finally equip the army.

Now, he has cleaned up the bad chiefs and chiefs of the whole town, solved many landlords, bullies, and squires, gathered countless gold and silver, and countless jewels, and he has enough money to develop and build, to prepare for the construction of arsenals, and to train a large number of workers...... And he has already given Cui Jingluo a huge business plan, with such a huge amount of gold and silver as the backing, his business group is already beginning to sprout.

More than a dozen villages began to rebuild their factories on the basis of the manors of Baochang and Jiachang, and he only needed to buy spinning looms and flour mills from the surrounding cities, and he could produce all kinds of new food and clothes.

In addition, he will put the ironworks at his service, and according to his requirements he will develop all kinds of machines, specializing in the production of products that are not available in this era, clocks and watches, daily necessities, luxury goods, fine goods, etc., are among his productions, and when the time comes, these products will be exported to all parts of the world, and a great deal of gold and silver will be made in other countries, and he has mastered more than a hundred and thirty years of knowledge than the people of this time, and if it is not used to earn wealth and serve himself, will it not be wasted?

Originally, Wang Jundao planned to build an industrial zone based on the Yushui River, but considering three situations, he gave up, the first is Zhonggong and the surrounding areas, resources are not rich, if you want to establish an industrial base, it is necessary to transport various mineral resources from other places, but the surrounding areas of Zhonggong are mountainous and hilly, inconvenient transportation, undesirable; Second, Zhonggong is too close to Jinan, the capital of Shandong, if he can't occupy Jinan, then he will be severely restricted by Jinan, and Yuan Shikai will not give him a chance to develop; Third, that is the Yushui River, this river is the mother river of Jinan City and the people around Jinan, once the industrial base is built on the bank of the Yushui River, the Yushui River will be polluted, then the people in Jinan and the surrounding areas will suffer.

Now he is anxious to find a place with rich resources and convenient transportation to establish an industrial base, but he has not found it, but he is not discouraged, China has a vast land and resources, such places are everywhere, but now he is still limited to Zhonggong Township.

instructed Tao Yezi to train more workers, and then encouraged the craftsmen of the iron shop by increasing wages, and then proposed a lot of incentive policies, and Wang Jundao returned to the Huben camp.

Seeing that more than 600 soldiers of the Tiger Battalion were training hard, and most of them were holding wooden fake guns, Wang Jundao was very helpless, and he decided to obtain equipment through the easiest way, that is, to buy arms, and he was not short of money now.

Wang Jundao suddenly thought that the current Tiger Camp is more than 600 people, in addition to more than 1,000 defense militia groups, anyway, there are not enough guns, it is better to take out some of the strong from the militia and join the Tiger Camp to train together, and directly organize the Tiger Battalion into a Tiger Battalion, and when the time comes, it will be equipped with a complete range of weapons, and it will become a main combat regiment.

Wang Jundao asked the brothers of several guard companies to find all the company commanders of the five combat companies of the Huben battalion, looking at the five company commanders who had become soldiers with demeanor and demeanor, Wang Jundao was very satisfied, and said directly to them: "I have decided to reorganize the Huben battalion into the Huben regiment, and then draw 500 strong from the militia regiment and integrate them into your five combat companies, and each company will be expanded to 200 people, what do you think?" ”

"No problem." Yang Poyu, Xu Jian, Xiang Zilong, Kang Dingguo, and Li Jinglin replied in unison, being able to bring more troops, that is something they can't ask for, how can they refuse?

"Good! You go directly to Instructor Li to ask for someone, and after the people you want are selected, you hand over the recruits' files to Bai Senjun. Wang Jundao said. Instructor Li is Li Shuwen, he is responsible for the regular training of more than 1,000 militia groups, Bai Joins the Army is Baiyun City, and he handles all the internal affairs of the Tiger Army.

Cui Jingluo is now not in charge of the affairs of the army, but has become Wang Jundao's full-time housekeeper, helping him deal with the huge amount of gold and silver, according to the business plan given to him by Wang Jundao, selecting a site to build a factory, recruiting workers, training workers, and so on.

As for Liu Changfeng, after returning to Wang Jundao, he naturally managed the people's livelihood and government affairs in Zhonggong Township conscientiously, and implemented various new policies given to him by Wang Jundao.

After explaining, after the five company commanders left, Wang Jundao found Lei Ba, the commander of the guard company, and Tang Jian, the leader of the special operations platoon, and said to them: "Lei Ba, you select the twenty-five most elite people in the guard company, Tang Jian, you select the most elite fifteen people in the special operations platoon, and three days later, you will go to Jinan City with me to disguise themselves as grain sellers." ”

"Yes."
