"Launching a cannon barrel, you say? We all saw the distance of the hand-thrown explosive pack last time, how far can it be hit with this cannon barrel? Bai Qing had a businesslike attitude, and he couldn't see the amiability and approachability at the dinner table half a moment ago.

"How big is the impression of the small valley where the gunpowder test was conducted?"

Bai Qing and Cheng Feng thought about it for a while, and nodded slowly, the two village chiefs had never seen each other, so they shook their heads, didn't bother quietly, and listened quietly.

"With the cannon barrel attached, you can hit the spot where I set a target from the valley mouth."

"So far?!" Bai Qing couldn't help but slap the table, and then looked at everyone else with a surprised smile.

"These are just the results of the tests on the test ground, and the natural environment of the valley is still relatively closed in general, which is not comparable to the actual combat environment. So what will happen in actual combat, I can say that the village blacksmith can't make a cannon barrel that meets my requirements, the test can't go on, it will break down after a few uses, and the bore will blow people up. ”

"Okay, I understand what you mean, just according to what you said, we will settle the accounts first, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to the army, if the blacksmith in the army can't do it to fire the cannon barrel, it is our business, and it is not up to you."

I thought I was here to supervise a summer harvest that started early, but I didn't expect to get another excellent news, and the four men present didn't have half a word of nonsense, picked up the account book and began to close the accounts.

Fortunately, the time period involved in the accounts is only half a year, and it is all materials, what things are signed at one time, how many quantities are used one after another, and then what is left after another, and then what is continued to be signed, how much is left, and how much is the final balance, each one is clear.

Although each material is also more or less, but on the whole, there are only a few records a month, which is much easier to calculate than the accounts in terms of money, even if they are not a special account office, it is still easy to calculate such accounts, and four people will not count wrongly by cross-accounting.

In less than an hour, the accounts of most of the year were all checked by four people.

"Okay, the numbers have been checked, there is no mistake, when the summer harvest on your side is over, we will go and pick up your remaining supplies, and just bring them back to the county." Bai Qing nodded with satisfaction after reading the audit results.

"Okay, I've packed and sealed all these things, just put them on the ship when the time comes, and I'll arrange them." As he spoke, Qi Ke signaled to Zhaolin to pack up the account books, and if they needed them, the account books could also go back to the county with the supplies.

"Already packed? I want to see the results? I read that the ledger said that there were two brand new launcher barrels left, and I took one out and tested it for us. ”

Bai Qing really wants to see it, and it is necessary to see it, he has seen the test effect here, and he will be able to make a comparison with the cannon barrels made in the army in the future.

"Okay, I'll show you the grain."

"Yes, the summer harvest is more important."

Speaking of which, today's matter is finally over, calling the king, the five people pushed the table and got up and walked out, and said as they walked and set the time for tomorrow's gathering, now it is hot, it is cool to work early, and you can rest a little more at noon.

They walked all the way out of the inn gate, only to find that the five of them were the last wave, and the merchants who stayed at the inn had already gone upstairs to their rooms to rest.

Bai Qing ran around one night and had another good meal, and when he relaxed his mood, he felt sleepy, and the five of them stood outside the inn gate and said goodnight to each other before they dispersed, and there was no politeness that anyone had to give whom.
