Chapter 30: A Woman's Heart

The answer he received was naturally no......

"The inner wall of this cannon has not been trimmed and polished, and the inside is not flat at all, how can it be used for test firing?" Blacksmith Li glared. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Blacksmith Li works like this, all kinds of six relatives don't recognize, whoever tosses him can turn his face and stare at whom, and the calf was beaten and scolded in his early years because of his temper.

Buchen knew this, he was just too excited to ask just now, and he didn't really want to touch Blacksmith Li's moldy head, and when he saw him blowing his beard and glaring at him, he immediately stepped aside very interestingly.

"Come back tomorrow!" Buchen said to his companions.

"How can this be? This cannon is almost ready! Fei Fei said with some puzzlement.

Buchen rolled his eyes: "I said Feifei, didn't you listen to Lao Li's guy, this cannon still needs to polish the inner wall!" ”

"How long does it take?" Fei Fei asked unconvinced.

Buchen shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know about this, but in line with the principle of leniency, it was more reliable to come back tomorrow, otherwise he would be glared at by Blacksmith Li again.

"Listen to me! Let's go! Buchen hugged Fei Fei's fragrant shoulders and dragged her out of the steel mill.

"Humph!" Fei Fei is naturally very angry about this.

"No, the steel plant is on track, and the cannon casting is almost complete, so it's time for us to help Qu Yongchen kill people, right?" Snow interjected at this point and asked.

Buchen heard her mention this, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Xue, what you remind you is that if you don't do this thing again, the steel we refine will not be able to turn into weapons and armor." ”

Buchen originally agreed to help Qu Yongchen assassinate Zou Weijian in the imperial history, just to get the Qu family's water-powered mill in Beijing. With this mill, Blacksmith Li was able to put the parts of his hydraulic press that he had prepared long ago to use, otherwise those parts would have rusted when they were left unplaced.

However, if this hydraulic press is really completed, with the exaggerated production capacity of the Buchen Iron and Steel Plant, the number of equipment manufactured will be a very large number.

It's just that the use and sales of these surplus equipment are not the biggest problem for the Buchen gang now, but the biggest problem is that they have no money again.

It's normal to think about it, Buchen has been buying land and building factories these days, and he has never owed the workers high wages, and the price and land price of Jingshi are still more than ten times that of other places, and he spends his own money and spends lavishly, how can the more than 10,000 taels of gold from Wushan be used enough? It was really burned clean in a few months!

So the ministers are going to rob the rich and help the poor againβ€”to rob others of their wealth and help their own poor.

"In this way, Xue, after we kill that Zou Yushi, let's go and borrow some money from Emperor Yun to spend it!" Buchen proposed.

Xue was amused by his words: "Aren't you going to the Forbidden City to grab a ticket?" What do you do if you say it so well? ”

He smiled sarcastically: "So you agree to go with me?" ”

Xue glanced at him a little helplessly and said, "Why don't you look for someone else?" ”

"You have a good body and a lot of strength, you can carry more things!" Buchen said with a smile: "Other people either have a lot of strength and poor body law, or they have a good body and little strength, it's not suitable!" ”

Xue glared at him a little annoyed, and stopped talking, she has been a nobleman for tens of thousands of years, and the bottom line of cultivation is still there, but after mixing with Buchen, she is always pulled by him to do the business of stealing chickens and dogs, how can she not be annoyed?

"If you don't speak, I'll take you as a promise?" Over there, Xiang Buchen was still asking with a hippie smile.

Xue gritted her teeth, turned around and left without saying a word.

"Hmph, I've been locked up as a funeral object for five hundred years and still hold on to the noble fan, what a guy who can't eat the ancients!" Fei Fei covered her mouth and snickered.

When Buchen heard this, he immediately gave this girl a burst: "What does it have to do with you how others live?" Practice your fighting spirit honestly, if I see you knocked to the ground with a move next time, don't worry about watching movies and TV series in the future! ”

Fei Fei's tears of grievance were about to come out, and she scolded: "Henry, you bastard who likes the new and hates the old! Then he turned and ran away.

The second monk who was scolded by her couldn't figure it out, he liked the new and hated the old? What does this mean? It's completely inexplicable!

Over there, Ai Ai was already laughing so much that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Buchen glared at her angrily and asked, "Sister Ai Ai, what are you laughing at?" ”

Ai Ai stopped laughing, and just put down a sentence, "Henry, you don't understand a woman's heart." He also turned around and flashed, throwing Buchen, Lao You, and Little Catwoman in place.

"Lao You, do you know what these girls are doing?" Buchen directly filtered the little cat woman and asked Lao You.

An ambiguous smile immediately appeared on Lao You's square face.

"You know? Then tell me! Buchen said in surprise.

It's just that Lao You said: "I don't know." ”

"I don't know what you're laughing at?" Buchen was almost about to scold the street.

Lao You shrugged his shoulders and walked back to himself, leaving only the little cat girl and Buchen on the scene.

"Lord...... The owner ......" The little cat woman looked at Buchen timidly, wanting to say something.

Buchen interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "Forget it, you definitely don't know, I'd better do my thing!" ”

After saying that, he also twisted and left.

"Actually, I know!" The little cat woman looked at Buchen's back and shouted in her heart. Although she is an orc, she is also a woman after all, who said that an orc woman is not a woman? And as a woman, how could she not guess what other women think? No, the minister would rather ask Lao You, that guy than ask her, this eyesight price is simply bad and there is nothing to say......

In fact, since Xue joined, the psychological pressure of Fei Fei, Ai Ai and Catwoman has increased a lot, because compared to the appearance, this blood countess is stronger than them, and the whole person seems to come out of the painting, perfect and unusual. In the face of such a "strong" competitor, the three girls are not as strong as each other, and they can't give more help to Buchen when fighting or facing danger, they naturally have a little inferiority complex, once they don't speak for the snow and beat them, their emotions are difficult to control, and they do some irrational things.

However, they are completely worried, because in Buchen's heart, whether it is Xue who joined later, or Fei Fei and Ai Ai who have gone all the way with him, in fact, the weight is the same, and he will not show any favoritism to them. And once there is some unhappiness between them, the most pressure will be the disobedience, after all, as the master of the harem, he has to take the responsibility of arbitration......

The next day, Buchen and his companions gathered again at the steel factory, and although the outer wall of the cannon had not been polished due to the tight time, it was still very rough, but the inner wall had been repaired overnight by the blacksmiths Li and their boring machines, and the guns were equipped with gun carriages and wheels that had been designed long ago, making them truly weapons that could be used in battle!

Buchen was very satisfied with the work of the blacksmith Li, and immediately awarded them a reward, which was 1,000 taels of silver for each master craftsman, 800 taels of silver for the head of the Lu factory, and 100 taels of silver for each of the workers.

Although this money makes the Buchen who is about to run out of funds a little painful, but in order to ensure the enthusiasm of the craftsmen, it is unavoidable.

Looking at the craftsmen who were elated to get the bonus, Buchen sighed in his heart: There is some money, and it should still be spent!

In fact, there was a small episode before the bonus was issued-Originally, Director Lu wanted Buchen to pay the bonus after the test firing was completed, but Buchen refused, he didn't want to leave an impression on the workers that they were calculating, and he also had enough confidence in the artillery they had cast!

So the bonus was distributed, and the next thing was the test firing of the artillery.

Without their hands, the workers worked together to push the gun, which was more than three meters long and weighed nearly two tons, into the shooting range.

The so-called shooting range is part of the 1,000 acres of cultivated land that Buchen bought outside the manor, and the original tenants on these fields have naturally been dispersed by Buchen, in order to make the secrecy work perfect, a high wall has been built around the hundreds of acres of land that are now selected as a shooting range, and there are guard towers, although in Buchen's opinion, there are still many loopholes, but considering that they are on the outskirts of the capital of the Syris Empire, which rules roughly, there is no need to worry too much.

The target is erected, the firing ~ medicine and the twelve-pound solid iron bullet are loaded, and the lead has been inserted on the fire door, and then everything is really ready, only the east wind is owed!

Buchen arched his hand to the onlookers and workers, took the torch handed by Blacksmith Li, and swaggered towards the artillery. He wasted no time, and as soon as the cannon was near, he put the torch in the lead.

As the sparks on the lead line sank into the fire gate at a speed visible to the naked eye, an earth-shattering roar rang out!
