Haishan was excited when he heard this, "Tong Laosan, I really don't know what is worth blushing about, and said." ”

"I really don't know?" Long Keduo glanced at Haishan, and then said: "The old fourteenth is now self-supporting the fourteenth party, and the emperor has a lot of support for the fourteenth party, Ka Mintu knows, last year was only a household servant, and he only relied on the old fourteen, no, in the blink of an eye, the household is still a book, how many people want to lean on it now, but they can't find a way?" This is a ready-made opportunity for you, and you can lean on it in a word. Besides, don't look at the current customs innovation, it's not as fat as before, but do you know how much the Jiang Customs spent on silver last year? ”

"How much?" Haesun blinked, he really hadn't heard of it.

"More than 46,000 taels, this is the amount that Brother Jiang handed over in a year by the bystander Qing Customs in Chapter 111." Long Keduo said proudly: "The old fourteen are generous, how can you, the overseer, make a year's income better than your two years of money, this is clean silver, are you still not satisfied?" Besides, it's not like you haven't seen the methods of the old fourteen, follow him for a few years, maybe you can still get a county king? ”

The king of the county? Haishan's eyes lit up suddenly, for these clan relatives, the most attractive thing is the title, and after that, Haishan came back to his senses, looked at Long Keduo suspiciously, and said with a smile: "I said Tong Laosan, you won't be from the Fourteenth Party, right?" ”

"I want to come, but that has to be seen by the old fourteen, right?" Long Keduo smiled wryly, what kind of world is this, this gangster has fallen into a fat gap, why did he not move at all, the old fourteen said, "It's almost over." Does this mean six months, a year? Or two or three years? Thinking of the old fourteen's instructions to stay away from all the elder brothers, he not only sighed, "Since the eldest elder brother Yinyu was imprisoned, I am completely dead, I don't mix with anyone, I don't care about the sky and the earth, and live my free life." ”

"Yes, I see that you are a monk, what about Brother He Chapter 111 The bystanders are wallowing in this red dust?" Haishan joked: "My brother is a layman, and he wants to be the king of the county, so it's easy to go, don't send it." ”

Long Keduo smiled shyly: "Don't mind, who is with whom of our brothers?" If you have a chance, you can pull my brother. ”

"Needless to say, you can't forget you, Tong Laosan." Haishan smiled and said, "Let's go, my brother has a treat today, let's go to the play." ”

Shuaifu Garden on Wangfujing Street, the mansion of the thirteen elder brothers.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen did not return to the house after the court, but he went to the thirteenth elder brother's house to visit Yinxiang.

Yinxiang has respected Yinzhen since he was a child, and he is also the most familiar with his temperament, and after seeing him greeting, he was silent, and couldn't help but take the initiative to bring up the topic, "Fourth brother has encountered trouble recently?" ”

Yin Zhen chuckled: "I don't want to bother you with these things, but if you are bored in the house all day, you are also bored, so I should relieve your boredom." As he spoke, he told the story of the early dynasty in detail.

Yinxiang already knew about the self-reliance of the old fourteen, but he didn't expect Kangxi to support him so strongly, he couldn't help but be gloomy when he heard the words, he was close to the old fourteen, and he was from the same division, but the situation was different, thinking of Kangxi's criticism of him, and then looking at his legs, he was even more excited and interested.

Seeing his depressed expression, Yin Zhen couldn't help but blame himself for talking too much, and hurriedly comforted: "The thirteenth brother doesn't have to be depressed, Huang Ama is in the spring and autumn season, this day is long, let's not fight for this time, there will be opportunities in the future, you can rest assured to take care of your illness, the fourth brother can point to you to make a big move, don't think nonsense, everything is with the fourth brother." ”

Yinxiang said in a low voice: "It's useless to blame Thirteen, I can't help the fourth brother." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yin Zhen said angrily: "Thirteenth brother, what are these words? It's not for the fourth brother to carry the black pot, how much worse can you be than the old fourteen? When I heard this in the future, the fourth brother was really annoyed. ”

Seeing that Yinzhen was angry, Yinxiang hurriedly changed the topic, "Why did Huang Ama support Lao Fourteen so strongly?" ”

"Isn't it just playing balance." Yin Zhen said casually, but after speaking, he asked strangely: "Thirteenth brother has another opinion?" ”

Yinxiang groaned: "I don't think it's exactly, the fourth brother has noticed, Zhang Pengxi, Ka Mintu, Chen Pengnian, Yu Zhun, Tang Zhixu, Shi Shiyu These people are all known for being honest. ”

Yin Zhen was suddenly shocked, and hesitated: "Does the thirteenth brother mean that Huang Ama belongs to the old fourteenth?" ”

Yinxiang nodded slowly, "It is not easy for the imperial court to raise a Qing official, and Huang Ama has always taken good care of Qing officials, not to mention that Huang Ama has always hated forming a party the most, but this time it is a big abnormality, which is really thought-provoking." ”

Yin Zhen couldn't help but sigh secretly, he was really a fan of the authorities, and the bystanders were clear.

February, Shanghai.

At the shooting range, after a crisp burst of gunfire, the delighted and loud voice of the target reporter came, "One hundred and fifty steps (one step of 1.5 meters), ten shots and six hits." ”

Dai Zi smiled like a walnut with an old face, and said with a full temperament: "Master, with this lead bullet, the power of the firearm has been greatly improved, both in terms of range and accuracy, it is a world of difference from the sausage shotgun made by the slave before, I didn't expect the West to have such a powerful hand." ”

Yinzhen smiled secretly, Westerners may not have it now, this Mini bullet should be a product of the 19th century, he smiled slightly, and was very satisfied with the power of the Mini bullet, "Can this kind of firebolt be mass-produced?" ”

Dai Zi shook his head embarrassedly, "Mass production is not possible at present, with the current manpower, three can be produced in a day, not only the rifling of the barrel is difficult to pull, but also it is very time-consuming to make a good barrel that is not easy to explode." ”

Yinzhen couldn't help but be frustrated, he knew the method of rifling, but he couldn't help the barrel, and he didn't know how Dai Zi pulled the rifling, so he thought about it or going to the firearms factory one day to find a way to slowly dial them.

After three months of repeated experiments, Dai Zi has smashed out the straight-chambered artillery and barrel-shaped lead-clad shells, and after countless experiments and improvements, the technology has been fully matured.

After a few cannon test firing, the reported data made Yinzhen very frustrated, although Dai Zi wrapped a layer of lead around the shell, and there was a great improvement in the range, but the accuracy was not satisfactory, and the loading speed and the speed of cleaning the gun chamber were also much slower than that of the smoothbore gun.

But Dai Zi was very excited about this achievement, but after seeing Yinzhen's expression again, he hurriedly restrained his smile, but he was depressed in his heart, how did this master do it, he was not satisfied with such a good result, what requirements did he want to achieve?

Although Yinzhen was frustrated, he also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, and after encouraging Dai Zi, he said: "Can you consider combining the 'Franc machine' rear-loading artillery with this rifled gun?" ”

Dai Zi frowned slightly, and then asked: "What does the master mean, is it to change the rifled gun to a rear-loading gun?" ”！！！
