Seeing that the lead bullet could not be loaded into the barrel, Zhao Jin noticed a detail, each bird gun is equipped with a fire rope, gunpowder and lead bullet, these craftsmen in order to ensure that the bird gun they built does not have problems, they built lead bullet by themselves, and the gunpowder is also sieved by themselves, which is indeed considered well-intentioned.

But this practice itself made Zhao Jin cry and laugh, each blacksmith should have different standards of weights and measures, although everyone did it very carefully, but did not create a batch of weapons of uniform specifications and sizes, if whoever runs out of ammunition on the battlefield, pick up someone else's to use it but can't use it, this is a big joke.

It is necessary to give the blacksmiths a uniform gauge and make it to a uniform size, but it is good to sift the gunpowder and polish the lead bullet smoothly, so let them keep it up.

Zhao Jin was surprised by the penetrating killing of the bird gun, it is said that such a slender gun tube, the lead bullet must not be too heavy, but it can still penetrate the protection of cotton armor, before getting a reliable number jù and template, Zhao Jin does not want to change the length of the gun tube, but the grip of the bird gun should become the one in the previous memory, which can be shoulder-to-shoulder.

However, these ideas and improvements can't let the people of the Xu family know too much, Zhao Jin is already ready to circle these blacksmiths according to the method of the wine shop back then, the remuneration can be generous, and the conditions can be as good as possible, but before a qiē is perfected, it must be kept secret, so the workshop that makes bird guns should be near Hejiazhuang.

The four counties in Shandong that Zhao Jin pointed out, Yi County and Tancheng were mainly entered by the Jianghu people from Pizhou, while the two places of Shanxian and Yutai were killed by the Jianghu people from Xuzhou.

Because the people in charge are different, so the progress is also different, Pizhou is attached to Zhao Jin later, and the strength is also a little insufficient after being sorted out, and the provincial boundary is a barrier in the past, and everyone rarely crosses it, but now that they have permission, they have to grope their way around, and the two counties of Yixian and Tancheng themselves have not heard much about Zhao Jin and Zhao Ziying, and if they want to fight in it, they have to have some collisions and fights.

And the two places of Shanxian and Yutai, but they are close to Xuzhou, the reputation of Zhao Jin and Zhao Ziying has long been thunderous to them, and the actions of the family Ding Tuanlian and the Jianghu people here do not shy away from the provincial borders, not to mention the several actions of hunting and killing the Wenxiang sect, which made Shanxian and Yutai tremble, so after Zhao Jin spoke, there was no collision and fighting process, and the territory of the two counties was directly open to Xuzhou.

Let all the people in Xuzhou go outside to grab the territory, not to say that all the fields and industries here will be taken, but to control this territory, as long as the original local tyrants and squires do not make trouble and resist, then maintain the status quo, will they go according to the rules of Zhao Ziying in the future, that is the future, even if they go according to the rules, they will not be treated badly.

The entry of Zhao Ziying and affiliated forces will not affect the lives of the local good people, and will even make them live a better and more peaceful life, but there is nothing to say about the business on the green forest rivers and lakes, the Qinglou gambling house or something has to change the owner, and the private salt and private merchants also have special people to take over, as for what kidnappers and stolen goods and the like are all cleared.

Shanxian and Yutai these two, although Shanxian County is several times larger than Yutai, but the benefits of Shanxian County are far less than Yutai, the reason is also very simple, Yutai County is adjacent to Weishan Lake and canals, relying on waterways and water parks, no matter how strictly forbidden by the government, irrigation will not be too difficult, this business and the like will also be prosperous, naturally it will be very rich, and that Shan County relies on the Yellow River, water conservancy does not enjoy too much, the Yellow River disaster does have a share, the county relies on the grain fields to eat, but also depends on the sky to eat, the days are very poor.

Under the control of Zhao Ziying again and again, there are not too many rivers and lakes on the Xuzhou side, and the first ones are all vassals, and a certain rule has long been formed, the two places of single county and Yutai are combined, and there are three places that can be called the territory, two counties of single county and Yutai, and there is also a Guting Town, which also relies on the canal to reach up, and the situation is not much smaller than that of Yutai County.

The rivers and lakes in these three places have changed owners, and many of them are still under the control of the Wenxiang Sect, and they have all been accepted together, but the situation in the county and town, there is not much benefit in breaking the sky, for the vassal forces of Zhao Ziying, the real oil and water are those bullies and local tyrants who do a lot of evil.

Before entering the four counties of Shandong, the internal guard gave a list in advance, and the list was full of the kind of bullies and tyrants who were rampant in the township, and they were eradicated, not only would it not make people feel that they were killing innocents, but some people would feel that it was for the people to eliminate harm, and their grange industry could also be taken over by the trend, and even if it was taken back by Zhao Ziying in the future, they would be compensated accordingly.

For the vassal forces, after occupying these few pieces of territory, Zhao Ziying also has to invest in the construction of water conservancy to maintain order, for Zhao Ziying, for the time being, it is to lose money into it, and the immediate effect is the salt road, the situation of the four counties is won, which is equivalent to the private salt of the four counties is also taken, and then the private salt business of the neighboring counties in Shandong can also share the profits, which is really not small.

There are two people who preside over the private salt situation in the four counties of Shandong, one is Yan Heimian who is in charge of Shanxian and Yutai, and the other is Qi Erkui who is in charge of Yixian and Tancheng.

There are about 200 salt under each of the two people, all of them are strong men, almost half of them are Xuzhou group training that has been supplemented, and naturally no one dares to offend with such a force, and they really have to be right, this Yan Heiyan and Qi Erkui don't need to call Zhao Ziying's people to support them, and there is nothing to shovel by themselves.

There is even a legend that this Yan Hei face has long been a member of the brigade, and he is also from the internal guard, this is a character like Dongchang Jinyiwei, who dares to offend, everyone saw Yan Hei's face, although they didn't dare to mention anything about the internal guard, but their attitude was extremely respectful.

In the early days when the Pizhou forces in Xuzhou entered the four counties of Shandong, the Zhao Ziying team did not show up, and the real subordinate to the Zhao Ziying was this Yan Hei Face and Qi Erkui, everyone can also understand the meaning, these two are here to preside, and it must be right to ask if there is anything that is uncertain.

With such strength and such status, Yan Heimian and Qi Erkui are also treated as a big man, Qi Erkui is young and vigorous, and he can't be nervous when he is treated so respectfully, the whole person is a lot lighter, and often says some arrogant words that make people frown, but Yan Hei's face is tense here, he never loses his temper, treats people politely, and reminds Qi Erkui many times in private.

It is said inside and out that Yan Hei Face Yan Uncle Yan is benevolent and righteous, but Yan Black Face knows this reason, back then several people in Xuzhou City, Cheng Tongtou died at night, needless to say, killing pig Li and Chen Ergou are now suffering in the village on the east bank of Luoma Lake, and the whole family lives with the homeless.

The specific details of Yan Hei's face are not clear, I heard that Killing Pig Li re-did the business of killing sheep and pigs, his daughter married a regimental training captain, Chen Ergou is said to have a good farming, and he is in charge of more than a dozen people, from a certain point of view, the life of these two people is also passable, but if he had been loyal to Zhao Jin back then, what would his net worth and status be now, it is really too bad, with these two lessons丨 in front of him, Yan Hei's face has not dared to flutter.

It didn't take much effort to take over the private salt business in Shanxian and Yutai, Xuzhou Salt City had already radiated to this side, Yan Hei led his men down, and the people involved in the salt business here all went to Xuzhou and Shandong to greet them, and they were respectful.

Of course, come to do private salt business in person, and there are still some differences in the past, the proportion of each family's profit sharing should change, and each family does not need to stock up, but there is a big car in Xuzhou to directly transport the salt over, and then everyone distributes it everywhere, only Yutai and Shanxian are the two largest salt barons that suffer in this, and others have not changed, or the benefits are more.

However, the two biggest salt lords are actually an inspector in Shanxian County, he knows that Zhao Ziying is powerful, in this situation, he can only pinch his nose and admit it, and honestly admit that for now, he may be able to hope for compensation in the future.

One qiē is smooth lì simple, Yan Hei face doesn't know what Qi Erkui is doing, but the two places he manages are too easy, this situation not only does not make Yan Hei face relaxed, but a little worried, now the situation of Jin Ye is getting bigger and bigger, everyone wants to follow and seek progress, but except for those young people, the older ones are all on the periphery.

And the peripheral things are all very simple under the majesty of Zhao Ziying, and they can't show their ability and hard work, so they can't show their credit in front of Jin Ye, so what is there to talk about.

Thinking about these all day, even the Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival were not good, Yan Heiface also taught his children several times, so that they must be diligent in the Zhao Zi camp, don't lose the face of the Yan family, so that the two children who came back from the school team for the New Year are also full of depression.

The prosperous city is the whole New Year, and the county towns like Yutai and Shanxian County, even if they are rich and noble, the New Year is only after the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, not to mention the destruction of Liaoyuan this year, the market is withering, and no one has the heart to enjoy the lanterns.

After the Lantern Festival, it also represents the opening of the salt market, the private salt business will also start to operate, the salt consumption in the first month of the lunar month is not small, after the Lantern Festival, there is demand everywhere, a large cart of salt is transported from Xuzhou, and the local salt dealers from all walks of life either push a cart, or drive an ox cart, to bring the salt back to their own place to sell, and even the salt dealers from nearby Cao County and Jintai come over.

In a hurry, Yan Hei still calmed down to do things, and he remembered the accounts meticulously, in order to learn to keep accounts, he specially invited Mr. Bookkeeper to teach him to read and write, and he learned very hard.

On the twentieth day of the first month of "Yan Ye Yan Ye", Yan Hei was about to go out to pick up the goods, but he heard someone outside the yard shouting with a crying voice, and he was very familiar with the voice, but it was a salt seller in the north of Yutai County, named Zhang Sange, who should have taken away two hundred catties of salt in a donkey cart a few days ago.
