Chapter 93: All Things Are Ready (12)
This girl's words are very polite, but she doesn't introduce herself: Anyway, you know who I am, you are a person, you don't have to know my name, I just want you something, how much money do you want to say bluntly, I don't have the heart to go around the bend with you, say a few and I will pay you to send you away.
However, she was really a month late, and now Ding Yi took her back with a proper sentence and asked her how is her wife? Nothing more than this: You are not qualified to speak to me, and if you want to deal with me, ask your master to come; Who are you? I only know your lady, but I don't know you!
She had no choice but to go.
It was Liu Tie who sent the maid ring of the British Mansion out, and when he came back, he looked like he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, and Ding looked at it and said to him: "If you have a fart, let it go." "After experiencing a series of things such as the sniper on the long street, the Hongmen banquet of the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes of Beizhili, and the disguise of the dead in the mass grave, he was accepted as an apprentice, and Ding Yi would not take anything in front of Liu Tie.
"Sir, Tie is thinking about such a little girl, will you be too ......" Liu Tie blushed, stammering without his usual cleverness, "Look at that girl, that girl can go out, those round eyes are red...... Iron thinks ...... when I see it."
Ding Yi stood up with a smile, kicked Liu Tie lightly, and scolded with a smile: "You are thinking of spring, right?" If I give you a girl, I'll probably let you sell me! ”
Liu Tie listened, but he didn't immediately kneel on the ground, saying that he would die or something. Just because of his relationship during this time, for Liu Tie, who lost his parents at a young age, he found a sense of dependence similar to his father and brother in Ding Yi: "That's definitely not it, Tie will get the girl; Then ask the master mother to sell the husband. This is more expensive. Then Mr.'s ability will naturally return calmly. Sell it again! No profit, less than a few years. Tie Ben has three wives and four concubines, and the master's mother naturally earns a lot of money...... Sir, that's a great plan! ”
Ding Yi nodded when he heard this, but said: "Reasonable, and then my little brother Huai'en is afraid that he will be lonely in the Internal Affairs Mansion, so you can go in and be with him, your three wives and four concubines can replace the work of the maid and the ring servants at home, and you won't need ...... at that time anyway."
"Iron is wrong!"
"I think it's pretty haode."
"Iron is really wrong!"
The days are like this, and there is the depression of a rich servant coming to the door; There is the sweat of those military households; There are also tears and hatred of the little grandfather. the gentleness of having a wife and concubine; There is also Liu Tie's disciple's gags, which brings fun. This is life, Ding Yi walked into the patio and looked up at the sky, it was the blue sky and white clouds that had disappeared after thousands of years, so beautiful.
It's just that all this will end before the first day of the ninth month, with the invasion of Warat, the capture of Yingzong, and the death of Wang Zhen.
"How's the artisans going?" Ding Yi asked Liu Tie. It was the craftsmen who were brought by the family and pulled out by the British government.
Liu Tie listened to Ding Yi ask about business, but put away the playful look on his face and took out a notebook from his arms. looked at Xiang Ding Yi and replied: "Lasso ignition failed...... Collision with explosive devices failed...... Failed to drill pipe with iron rods...... The forging of the big food steel failed...... The drawing succeeded, but could not achieve the uniformity requested by the gentleman, well. So the spring making failed...... The assembly line operation is basically operational, if there are no accidents. The day after tomorrow, grenades can be mass-produced, but the raw materials may only last for four days...... "Of course, if you roll out the barrel with iron sheets, you may be able to do so." But the inaccurate queue to shoot the party requires scale, and Ding Yi not only does not have enough people, nor does he have enough financial resources, let alone enough time. Moreover, there was no capital to withstand the losses caused by the explosion of iron-rolled arquebus guns, which were by no means uncommon.
Ding Yi could only sigh for a long time when he heard this, to achieve what he needed, the time span of the industrial base was too large, and the time he could use was too little - half a year was enough time for him to build a hydraulic drilling machine, and then train him to become a craftsman who could operate this thing, and mass production? If not, what did he do with it?
Although he has already built a retreat from the change of the civil fort, all this is false! That is to say, if history changes a little bit because of his arrival, maybe all his arrangements are mirrors, for example, if Yu Qian and Yu Shaobao, who commanded the defense of the capital, were also included in the team of the royal driver's personal expedition, then who would command the defense of the capital? If you don't know it, it's another Manchu Qing entry! There are too many similar variables, and even if everything goes according to history, after Wang Zhen dies, the civil official group turns its face and does not recognize people, so it must kill him? Is this possible? Something that no one can answer.
In any case, keeping Yingzong is the safest choice for Ding Yi, but now, he can't even see Yingzong's face.
But Ding Yi knows very well that he must not propose to Wang Zhen that he wants to face the saint, because all Wang Zhen's power comes from the emperor, and he can see that the old friendship takes care of Ding Yi and tolerates Ding Yi, which does not mean that he will let Ding Yi share his source of power! Ding Yi would never dare to take this risk.
And the special team that he wants to set up, most of the equipment cannot be in place, in this case, in the battle of Tumubao, how much significance can this incomplete small team play? Can it accomplish Ding Yi's combat purpose? It was all uncertain, how could he not sigh?
At this time, I heard Liu Tie read one of them: "...... The pulley and the dual element pulley bow have been successfully made, and there are three finished products waiting for Mr. to be identified, but the bow arm is not made of the steel that Mr. needs, but bamboo and wood...... The Overlord Bow has been successfully made, and there is already a finished product waiting for Mr. to appraise it, but、But the craftsman master said......"
Ding Yi couldn't help but perk up when he heard this, and he was more or less happy, and couldn't help but say to Liu Tie: "What did the craftsman say? ”
"They say the pulley bow is a showmanship and the overlord bow is waste...... Sir, this is not ironclad! "Liu Tie, a guy with a seven-trick crystal heart, but he can tell what can be said and laughed with Ding Yi, and there must be no difference in anything, at least in things such as making weapons, he takes himself off first.
This is something that Ding Yi did not expect, hundreds of years later, the special forces, the use of eccentric pulley bows accounted for the majority of the country, if the bow arm does not have carbon fiber and other lightweight materials. caused the pulley bow to become heavy, which was expected by Ding Yi. But it's impossible to change the show because of this!
As for the Overlord Bow, it is the English Longbow. How did it become a waste? This is a successful example in history, ending the knight's invincible artifact, okay? And this thing, Ding Yi remembers the process, and it will not exceed the industrial base of this era now, how can a very traditional thing be wasted?
"You go to the house to support the affairs of the house, and I will go to the craftsman to take a look first." Ding Yi said to Liu Tie like this, and he didn't remember imitating Shoufu's bearing at the moment, so he rushed to the courtyard.
Su Zhen lived in the courtyard where the craftsmen lived. Hu Shan and the five of them would come over every day with two strong men with eight military households to inspect, plus twenty or thirty dogs, this yard was really unapproachable. However, Ding Yi will not let them shiyan explosive things at this time, plus the raw materials are stored in other places, these artisans and families together, every day Liu Tie brings vegetables, vegetables and meat over, and the households are self-sufficient, except for not being able to go out, there are no problems in life.
This is of course a big problem in modern times. But in the Ming Dynasty, the status of craftsmen is really too low, and it stands to reason that these people who should be senior engineers in the Ming Dynasty, at least senior technicians, are also accustomed to their own lowliness. Being able to live in peace with their families and have meat to eat every day is already a very good life for them - usually small landlords can't do this. As for personal freedom? Could it be that they can go to the streets every day in Wang Gong's factory?
looked at Ding and his entourage. The dogs let out a low snort, which is the so-called biting dog does not bark. But when Ding raised his eyes and swept over. But they unconsciously retreated. Without him, many people will be killed. Although these dogs are specially singled out for fierce characters. It's not like an ordinary dog, and when they see the butcher walking by, they consciously avoid it, but the killing intent on Dante's body when he glared at him was really not something they could withstand.
"Mr. Ding is here?" But when he saw Su Jian coming out of the yard with a knife, he waved his hand casually, and the dogs barked lowly, but they ran away one after another. Not to mention that they recognized Su Zhen, just Su Daxia, a serial murderer who killed dozens of thieves at every turn, the smell of blood was enough for them to fear.
Without waiting for Ding to speak, Su Daxia said: "Sir, this kind of item is forbidden!" "Bow and crossbow armor, even after a few hundred years, it is forbidden for the people to have and manufacture, let alone the current Ming Dynasty. Although Su Zhen is a serial murderer, in principle, he tends to the meaning of "chivalry" in later generations, that is, he is engaged in illegal justice, but he definitely does not intend to rebel.
However, Ding Yi was not timid in dealing with this, but just asked him rhetorically: "Is it forbidden to fight the grass valley?" If this thing is successful, it will be sent to the Ministry of Industry and equipped in the army, and how many people will live for it? If it is forbidden, it will kill the head, but Ding cares more about the thousands of living beings in Huaxia, if Su Xia has any concerns, Ding will not force it. ”
Su Jian only felt that his blood was hot when he heard it, but he said loudly: "Strong! Su is willing to attach Mr. Qiwei! ”
Ding Yi told him: "The objects here must not be leaked out, once the enemy is funded, you and I will be sinners for the ages!" ”
Su Jian nodded vigorously and didn't say anything, just tightened the long knife in his arms.
Ding Yi understands very well that Su Jian is a combination of patriotic serial murderers, passionate and angry youth, Ding Yi suspects that if the officials of the Ministry of Industry want to come here, as long as they can prove their identity, I am afraid that Su Jian will not stop him at all and will be a tour guide. So Ding Yi didn't dare to say too much to him about confidential things, and he didn't even dare to let him go to Hushan's training, such a person can only be used, but it must not be entrusted with confidentiality.
Maybe it's very utilitarian to do this, but Ding Yi, who has only been doing it for more than half a year, has to do this.
"Master, you gave me money to settle down, and let my family get together, waiting for me with wine and meat every day, we are ...... I can't speak, Craftsman Li, come on. "The craftsman looked like he was in his fifties, and even if he was dressed cleanly, he couldn't hide the calluses on his hands and the wrinkles on his burnt face.
The craftsman he called the head of the craftsman Li looked younger, but his temperament was obviously not very good, and he listened to the green tendons on his neck: "Say a hair!" The master is so good to us, we can't trick you, which of these things is painted without an asshole? It's all fucking blind! Just these two bows, can they be used by birds? Even the slingshots that our son plays are stronger than it! (To be continued......)
