When Su Bo arrived at the chairman's office, Chairman Wu Dapeng was waiting for him.

In the office, he told Chairman Wu Dapeng about his experience and judgment, and the two talked for a long time.

Su Bo thinks that the board of directors has figured out that guò arms exchange and business exchange to promote the germination of industrialization in Xiamen is a bit too utopian.

He unceremoniously said a few things to prove it.

He said seriously: "First, the Zheng family did set up a gunpowder processing and factory. However, it is completely confined and monopolized, and at most it buys and buys raw materials from outside. Thinking that they would follow our example and issue contracts, they even locked up the carpenters who gave them the wooden barrel shaker handles for adding, grinding and polishing, and all of them worked exclusively for the Zheng family. It's a salary, and a lot of food, you say this can be the germ of industrialization? ”

Chairman Wu Dapeng smiled awkwardly and said: "It is very understandable, this is a military industry, and his Zheng family is afraid that if others learn, they will have no advantage -- it was precisely because we thought of this at that time that we dared to provide him with technical support, and from this point of view, we can also give some ......."

Su Bo nodded and said, "This makes sense, but other things, you will understand as soon as you hear it."

Second, the Zheng family has "Zheng Jiahua" all the qiē mines, pig iron, cement, lime, porcelain, silk, and tea production that they can manage, and they don't care who it was originally, and they hang a sign with the words Zheng family when they go up, I rely on it, this is an authentic banditry, he doesn't even have a public-private partnership transition, this guy, he will rob when he comes up, and he is more ruthless than the original Zheng Zhilong. What kind of industrialization is this called? ”

Director Wu Dapeng thought for a while and said: "I saw these points in your report, and the Zheng family wants to control these industries because they know that only these resources can bring trade and security to the Zheng family, which is still understandable." Didn't you say that they still promised to give dividends to the original family? It can be regarded as a kind of joint stock -- unified management also has its own advantages, when exporting to foreign countries, the price can be unified, the supply of goods is also sufficient, and the Spanish businessmen and Macao businessmen who come to us will naturally go to them, which is a good thing -- as for the lawsuit between the Ming people, it is not our turn to evaluate it now, what do you think? ”

Su Bo nodded again and said, "It still makes sense, but they also start with food and food-

Third, the Zheng family stipulates that grain and food monopoly and sales -- land rent, grain sales, and even river and sea fishery products can only be sold to the Zheng family -- I rely on it, and the grain collection team has all arrived at the village level, and they really have manpower and patience. ”

Chairman Wu Dapeng nodded and said, "Everyone knows this, but there is a good thing in this, you haven't noticed-"

"The benefits? Even a salted fish must be sold closely to the Zheng family first, and the Zheng family doesn't want it, and then it can be sold in the fishing market, even the kelp. ”

"Well, they are learning from us, but they are using a forced way - you haven't noticed that their grain collection team can go down to the village, and there is less exploitation of local tyrants and grain merchants from all walks of life at the middle level, and they benefit the people in disguise, they at least give the market price, right? - More importantly, they killed all kinds of local tyrants, which is more important than rent reduction!

No matter from which aspect, this kind of small tyrants is definitely an obstacle to the development of productive forces, they occupy the place, monopolize the place, exploit the place, set up all kinds of checkpoints and toll stations, ostensibly for the development of the local economy, but in fact it is they who fragment all kinds of income, the most deterioration of social development, they are the natural dead knot of commodity circulation, when a dynasty is about to perish, that is, when the small tyrants from all walks of life are strong, the Zheng family must be given the ability to destroy the little tyrants! ”

Su Bo rolled his eyes, suddenly smiled, and said: "When Lao Zheng's pig iron and coal wanted to be transported to Xiamen, he had to pay for these little tyrants, and he was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and his ability was not up to - but, isn't Lao Zheng also a local tyrant?" ”

Chairman Wu Dapeng sighed and said: "Between the small tyrant and the big tyrant, we can only choose this way. It is better to pay one protection fee than two or N protection fees. ”

Su Bo patted his head and said, "If you don't say that I have forgotten, no wonder there are more and more small brick and tile workshops and small charcoal workshops over there—I ignored them at the time." Hehe, I'm a big boss, and I can't talk about social reasoning with college students like you. ”

Chairman Wu Dapeng said solemnly: "This is not a question that cannot be said, Commander Su, whether it is the process or the result, see whether it is conducive to the development of social civilization and economy, whether it is the most beneficial, such a simple matter of common sense, there is no need for this big theory, that big doctrine, it is all fooling people." ”

"That's right, or it's quite easy for this Lao Zheng to recruit soldiers, and he has also begun to choose-he is not stupid at all, he will try everything I say before promoting-"

Chairman Wu Dapeng said: "He publicly told his third brother in the telegram that he was coming to attend Manager Mei's wedding, but we all know that he usually communicates with his third brother in secret letters, hehe." ”

Su Bo thought for a moment and said, "This old boy has some 1650-type firecrackers that remember us—it may be that he openly shows his great trust in us, and wants us to be just as careful with him, the ancients. ”

"Well, almost, Zheng Bin moved his whole family here and almost made the whole of Taiwan know, probably thinking like this - Captain Su, you can rest for two days."

"No, I'll go to the military factory to take a look, Lao Zheng doesn't know what the rush looks like in Xiamen, and now the Qing army may be moving, I'm not afraid, Lao Zheng is not afraid in his mouth, but he doesn't know what his goods look like in his heart."

In the Red Star Military Factory, Su Bo saw the sample gun, and after a test shot, he was greatly surprised.

Yes, yes, this gun is a little less powerful than the 1649 type step and gun, but the recoil is also much smaller, and it is more suitable for the Ming people.

Lin Shengli, the factory director, said: "Don't be happy, this is a bluff -- I personally think it's a failed product, and it's not epoch-making."

Su Bo looked at the gun over and over again, and felt that the gun tube was heavier, but the gun part was still relatively delicate.

Lin Shengli, the factory director, said: "You can't look at the surface of this thing, the level of materials and craftsmanship is the key to determining the quality of the product." ”

Then Director Lin Shengli gave a brief introduction.

The pipe and machine of this gun are the main difficulties, the production and manufacture of the gun pipe can be mass-produced by hand with the experience of ancient classics, but the quality must be uneven, and the blacksmiths of the Zheng family must also be able to make it, but they want to unify the standard, that is a problem.

The processing and workmanship of the Red Star Military Factory belong to a quarter of mechanized production, which is far beyond this era.

As for the machine part, the transmission gears and driving V-leaf springs in it can be made by skilled blacksmiths in the world, which is nothing. However, Hantang Group should be the same as them, subject to the limitations of this material, Hantang Group is still unable to produce and manufacture fully qualified spring steel, and the technology is difficult, and the raw materials and technological process are difficult.

Of course, the Hantang Group can fill the gap in the seventeenth century with modern heat treatment technology, but it can only be said that it will be used.

After firing the gun seven times, the gun tube will be so hot that no one can fire it again, and even during the trial, the result of the seventh round of the bore has occurred.

As for the quality of the driving V-leaf spring, the Hantang Group itself does not dare to guarantee the quality, and the highest number of continuous presses does not exceed 300 times - strictly speaking, in terms of durability, it is not comparable to the fire rope and flint.

Su Bo thought for a while and said, "In that case, then why don't we go to Suifa?" Is this Type 1650 firearm the result of too big a gold finger? Doesn't it say that flint is not afraid of rain? ”

Director Lin Shengli asked strangely: "Who said that flint is not afraid of rain?" ”

"I can't remember which novel I read about it, and it says that he took advantage of the rainy weather to defeat the enemy with flintlock."

Director Lin Shengli frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't understand it, he simply took out a flintlock handcuff from a corner and said, "This is a flintlock handcuff that was seized before - can you see if it can protect against rain?" ”

Su Bo saw that a flint was clamped between the jaws of the flintlock handcuff and the hammer, and there was an anvil on the side of the fire hole, and when it seemed that he needed to shoot, he pulled the trigger, and under the action of the spring inside, the small piece of black flint would hit the side of the fire door heavily, and sparks would emerge, igniting the ignition of gunpowder.

He tried to pull off the hammer, and sure enough, he pulled it, opened the gunpowder door and looked, there was no gunpowder in it, so he slammed it against the wall, and there was a "pop" sound, and sure enough, sparks shot out - this is a fucking probabilistic ignition of gunpowder.

Su Bo looked at the flintlock and said, "In the future, if anyone says that the flintlock is not afraid of rain, I will spray him to death!" I, a military personnel in my forties, almost let Xiaobai deceive him, the flint and anvil are all stained with water, and can they still collide with Mars? And then fill the ass with gunpowder and not get wet in the rain?

Hmph, that's why I don't think about it - it has nothing to do with age. ”

Director Lin Shengli said: "It's hard to say, maybe there is a unique way, I haven't seen the real thing." ”

Su Bo snorted angrily and said: "I said Director Lin, don't be immersed in your technical standards, this era is a worse era, and our 1650-type firecrackers will scare them to death when they take them out.

Why is the Qing army fighting slowly in the coastal areas, tell you, as long as the weather is a little wet, their bowstring will be as soft as noodles, if it weren't for Zheng Zhilong's grandson who wants to speculate, I really don't know when the Qing army will be able to enter, open the historical data and take a look, in a few years, if Zheng Chengguan really goes to join forces with Li Dingguo to make a clear, the south will have to be Han Chinese, but Zheng Chenggong, a rabbit cub, can he do it?

Of course, everyone said that we couldn't look at the post-history, only the present -- I calculated that even if we gave the Zheng family's arquebus, the speed of firing a shot in nearly three minutes, scared the Qing soldiers to death, and there was no problem at all with 300 arquebuses guarding the city wall.

Lao Zheng was so happy to see this, but let's give them a little more accessories, that guy, he is cautious and has no big ambitions - both brothers have the same taste. In the evening, I posted the information on the Internet for everyone to see. ”

Lin Shengli said: "You put down the flint, and you have to keep it in the museum, why do you always detain that emerald?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really playing. Gems, there is no temptation for me at all, you haven't seen it, Lao Zheng, his globe is full of gems, I don't even look at it. ”

Su Bo hurriedly put down the flintlock handcuff and said with his hands raised.

Director Lin Shengli said: "In the battle of Zhangzhou, one shot in three minutes is enough? ”

"I have DV data, and I will be able to post it on the Internet soon, and you can read the actual combat records yourself."

"Well, then the Type 1650 firecracker is fine-I'm still thinking correctly-"

"Don't make me praise you—"

"What?"

"Director Lin's skills are too clever!"

"Ah, where, everyone cooperates with each other."
