Chapter 106: This Thing Should Be a Big Seller

readx;

After Zhu Lin smoked two whips, he told Zheng Jiu not to make a noise about this matter. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is shameful enough. After Liu Rumei's injury is healed, the wedding will be held. It's over. Don't give birth to any moths. If it weren't for Du Fen's cleverness this time, he ran out to report the news, and it is estimated that we would all be finished. Zhu Lin sighed and said there, and kept crying and kowtowing to Zheng Jiu. There was blood on the head. Wait until Li Zhi finishes talking to the woman. came to call Zhu Lin to discuss the matter, and then stopped this matter. After Li Zhi asked about the situation, he was going to hit Zheng Jiu's board. can see that Zheng Jiu has a good attitude in admitting his guilt, so he had to punish Zheng Jiu for half a year before he ended the matter.

After Li Zhi finished chatting with the woman, he took the woman to see Zhu Lin. Zhu Lin is cleaning up today's events. The girl's name is Xue Min, and she is very beautiful. Zhu Lin asked Xue Min if it was the message you sent last time. Xue Min smiled and said, "Yes, no, what." The concubine thinks that the young master already knows. Zhu Lin nodded. "The concubine has nowhere to go now, begging the young master to take her in!" Xue Min said there. This, Zhu Lin didn't know how to arrange this woman. Li Zhi pulled Zhu Lin aside and said, "Young Master, let this woman supervise Rong Fei and those people." Rong Fei of the province always said that a person was busy to death. ”

"Alright then, that's it. Zhu Lin nodded and agreed. gave Xue Min a rough explanation of the arrangement. Originally, Zhu Lin and Li Zhi both felt that this arrangement was very suitable. Xue Min should be happy. Who knew that Xue Min would beat Zhu Lin into a petrified state with one sentence.

"The concubine doesn't want to go to the woman's nest, and the concubine has to take care of the young master by her side. "Zhu Lin is in a hurry, there are already people here, and it's not impossible to add another one. The key is that you are a woman, it's not very convenient! Follow me every day, and you have to be gossiped about by others. Zhu Lin said that he did not agree with anything. Li Zhi disagreed. The two sides were arguing right there. At this time, Wang Guangxu came in. When Wang Guangxu saw Xue Min, he shuddered and pulled Li Zhi and Zhu Lin aside. Lowered his voice and told the two of them that this Xue Min was not simple, and he was at the same level as Ouyang Jinzhu. He is also a hall master. The two were shocked when they heard this. Xue Min is such a weak woman who can't see it. Waiting for Wang Guangxu to introduce the general situation of this woman. Coupled with what the leather monkey told Zhu Lin before, Zhu Lin can also guess a few points of what kind of profession this woman is. After thinking about it, Zhu Lin whispered beside Li Zhi for a while. Li Zhi will understand. Pulled Xue Min aside and said for a while. Xue Min nodded and agreed. No one knows what he said. It's just that it didn't take long for a lot of women from the textile factory to be selected and sent to the school to be taught skills by Xue Min. A kind of flattery. However, this school is closed. No one is allowed to enter without the approval of Zhu Lin and Li Zhi.

It's over, just do what you have to do. Shen Mo asked Zhu Lin if he wanted to build the city wall. Zhu Lin waved his hand, "Build! Also, don't make weapons secretly in the future. Above board. Lao Tzu has a license, I'm afraid of hair. Not only to make swords, guns, swords, crossbows, but also firearms. Horses are to be bought in large numbers. When Zhu Lin said this, Zheng Jiu and Shen Mo were overjoyed. And Zhu Chengli and Li Zhi were a little unhappy. Now the industry has just improved. It's time to engage in armaments. Armaments cost so much, so it will drag down the young master's industry. But after Zhu Lin came out of this incident, he understood that if he wanted to protect himself, he had to have his own team. It's unreliable to expect others. In these days, if you have a gun, you are the king of grass! Therefore, although Zhu Chengli and Li Zhi are opposed, they have no way at all. Zhu Lin is so determined that no one can stop him. It seems that when the time comes, you can only card on the funds. Try to put in as little as possible. Zhu Lin didn't know, Zhu Chengli and Li Zhike both knew that maybe it didn't cost money to make knives, guns, bows and crossbows. But the fire pit was a bottomless pit. But what these two people don't know is that although they are stuck in the funds. But the two underestimated the power of those craftsmen. When I heard that the young master was going to make a firecracker. That's crazy. Although the funds are very tight, when the first snow falls, the finished product is still taken out. Zhu Lin is busy these days, and he doesn't touch the ground, and he has no time to study. The next day, he personally mourned the two dead brothers in the rain. After wiping two handfuls of crocodile tears, I went to visit Wang Jun and Liu Rumei on the third day. On the fourth day, he arranged for someone to send silver to the city, visited King Yi and Tang Baihu, and in Zhu Lin's words, quickly returned the love. The province owes them a favor.

The first heavy snow fell, and Zhu Lin stood in front of the window, looking at the boiling water on the cast iron briquette stove bubbling outside the window. There was a fire gun on the table, and there were some projectiles scattered around, some gunpowder wrapped in oiled paper. A through-strip. "Young master, this gun is just the first batch of test subjects. There is not much, if the young master is not satisfied, we will improve. Yang Weiguo said next to him.

"Well, I can't say I'm not satisfied, I heard Uncle Zhu say that this is much better than what the imperial court made. It's good that the first batch can be made like this. However, there is still room for improvement, the range is too short. And it's not powerful enough. At a distance of 60 meters, you can't penetrate a layer of iron armor. Master Yang, can you build a cannon?"

"Young master, cannons are not easy to do. The main reason is that it is easy to produce bubbles when casting the mold. How many times have I done it. I can't do it. There was a pause for a moment. ”

"Well, Master Yang, this cannon must be there. Be sure to break through. By the way, what about the steam engine. Do you have eyebrows?"

"Young master, two steam engines have already been built. But it didn't have much momentum. Listening to what Yang Weiguo and Zhang Jue said, it seems that the seal is not good. It is inefficient and can only be used in steel furnace blasts. It seems to be hard to use in other places. I took the loom and tried it. It doesn't work out very well either. ”

Sure enough, Zhu Lin thought to himself. Whatever you're afraid of, you'll come. Originally, it was worried that the seal would not be up to par and the efficiency would be low. "Master Yang, have you tried it?" ”

"Young master, it's the sealing ring problem with the piston, and I have tested a lot of materials. It just doesn't work. I also asked Yang Weiguo, and Yang Weiguo said that his master made a sealing ring from something called rubber. We don't have the right material here. ”

Zhu Lin thought about it and said no, rubber is not resistant to high temperatures. Put it in the piston a few times and polish it, how can you use rubber.

"Alright, let's stop. Keep improving. I'll take the time to take a look at it in two days. Let's see if we can solve it. Now the most critical is briquette making and briquette furnaces. This is a good thing that can be sold well. Zhu Lin pointed to the briquette stove.

"Well, the villain will arrange it. This stove is easy to sell, and King Guangyi ordered thirty stoves in one go. The prefect's yamen also ordered a few. There are no less than 100 scattered units. This stove is easy to make, the key is that the chimney is difficult to make. To roll with tin sheets. Slow in this place. Young Master Briquette, don't worry. Now the farmers who have nothing to do are running to make briquettes. This one is easy to do, although the manual one is a little slower. But there are many people. ”

"Well, you don't have to have a tin chimney, you can use a bamboo tube instead of a chimney. But this chimney must have it. Otherwise, it is easy to be poisoned and die. Also, when you send someone to install it, you must pay attention to telling people about this. Otherwise, it wouldn't be beautiful to have two people dead. By the way, do we still have enough ingredients here?"

"Enough, enough, enough, these daylight storage raw materials, enough to be used until the beginning of the New Year. Yang Wangnan replied.

"Well, that's good. Master Yang will go and get busy first. It's snowing heavily, so don't run here if it's okay. I'll be over in two days. Zhu Lin waved his hand and said.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the goose feathers were flying all over the sky, and soon a quilt was covered on the ground opposite. Snow white. Zhu Lin stood in front of the window, wanting to compose a poem, but he really didn't have that level. I want to copy a song. But after thinking about it, forget it. With such a big snowfall, I don't know what happened to my eldest brother. While he was thinking there, a few black dots on the north-south road rode towards this side. Zhu Lin knocked on Li Zhi's door and told Li Zhi that someone might be coming. The two of them went downstairs to the living room. There was a big stove in the living room baking there, and it was really cold on this day. Zhu Lin heard others say that he had never seen such a heavy snow for many years. Zhu Lin and Li Zhi were roasting a fire there. Talking about how long this snow will last. I wonder if it's really going to be a white disaster this year.

The door was pushed open, and the snowflakes mixed with the wind whistled in, and Zhu Lin looked up. Tsk, the few guarding the walls are back. "Close the door, freeze to death. Zhu Chengli shouted at Zheng Jiu. Zheng Jiu hurriedly closed the door. Now take off your coat and hat and hang them on a hanger. After giving Zhu Lin and Li Zhi a salute. A few people, dressed like bears, ran to the stove and lit a fire there. Li Zhi picked up the kettle on the stove and made a cup of ginger tea by himself. These guys are also welcome, pick them up and drink them. Isn't it too hot to see Zhu Lin's fluting?

Zhu Chengli said slowly: "Young master, the eldest young master is in a hurry. As he spoke, he handed the three letters to Zhu Lin. Zhu Lin took it over, and said in his heart that he was just thinking about his eldest brother. And so the letter came. Zhu Lin asked, "Uncle Zhu, why did you come here to deliver a letter?" What should I do with the city wall?" everyone lowered their heads in embarrassment. What these people wanted to do, Zhu Lin guessed as soon as he guessed. Come back and eat and drink and rub warm. The walls and the barracks underneath were all newly built. The glass on the windows is not installed, and the briquette stove is now only installed in the dormitory area, not in the barracks and the city gate building, the weather is suddenly cold, and it is estimated that these guys can't stand it. Take advantage of the opportunity to deliver the letter and run back to rub it.

Sure enough, Zheng Jiu complained. Say it's too cold. There is no stove over there, and there is no firewood for heating, so I came back and took this opportunity to ask the young master for a briquette stove. After all, you can warm up when you return to the camp after standing guard, but you can't drink a cup of hot water. After listening to Zheng Jiu's complaints. Zhu Lin smiled and said: "The production capacity of the briquette stove has now been put to the maximum. I'll probably be able to put it on for you tomorrow. By the way, the messenger sent it. Give more money, it's so cold, it's really not okay to let the family live here for two days. "This young master can rest assured, he gave the silver and left. I guess I'm going to report the victory again. Eight hundred miles expedited is the same as last time. ”
