"Huzi, this is for you."

Liu Wen took out a boxy wooden block the size of a fist, and the wooden block was carved with patterns, which looked very beautiful.

"Brother Wen, what is this?"

Huzi looked at it over and over for a while, but he didn't understand.

Liu Wen smiled and gently pushed on the top of the wooden block, and a piece suddenly protruded from the opposite side. As he kept turning, he finally broke it down into small wooden blocks, and there were more than thirty parts in a rough count.

"This is the Luban lock, a gadget I pondered myself. I shouldn't have time to play in the future, so I'll send it to you, and I haven't thanked you for cleaning my room when I'm not at home. ”

Liu Wen spoke hard and assembled the parts again.

Huzi excitedly took the wooden block, looking at its smooth surface and looking seamless, but he didn't expect that there was a mechanism inside.

Seeing that Huzi liked it, Liu Wen smiled and touched his head.

"Let's go!"

He walked out with his luggage on his back and looked at the gate of Ren's mansion.

After opening the book given by the owner yesterday, he hardly slept all night.

The things that puzzled me in the past seem to have found the answer in those books. And those novel, even magical theoretical knowledge, combined with his years of observation and practice, as if there was a golden light piercing the fog in front of him, and the golden avenue sprinkled made him feel like he had embarked on a smooth road to the sky.

However, the more you look back, the more difficult the content becomes. There were many things that he studied with an oil lamp for half the night, and he didn't figure it out, but these didn't bring him down, but found more fun and purpose for his life.

Now after following Ren Pingsheng, Liu Wen, who does not worry about food and clothing, has very pure hobbies and goals.

As for the information given by the owner, Liu Wen was even more shocked after reading it.

"Firearms!"

The ingenious mechanism and craftsmanship also inspired him a lot.

He also knew why he should be imprisoned and free after this mission.

Although he had not fiddled with the arquebuses and flintlock pistols that were now mainstream, he had asked the village chief before.

The breech charge, the pestle is solid, the trigger is pressed, and the flint is fired.

For the principle, you can guess it.

But he studied the materials given by the owner until the morning, and these materials and drawings were so detailed that he taught how to make a gun by hand, and he had not yet eaten it thoroughly.

But there is also a certain understanding.

This is almost an epoch-making thing, and there are processes and mechanisms in it that are almost unheard of and unseen. The finished product, on the other hand, does not need to be complicated breech charge, but is reloaded in the rear or receiver.

Dramatically increases the power and reload speed of the gun.

Although Liu Wen did not expect that this weapon could change the pattern of war, he already understood that the terrifying degree of this weapon was far from being comparable to that of arquebuses and flintlock pistols.

"What was the identity of the owner before he came to Liujia Village? And where did he get these books? Why do you want to make these weapons? Do you also have the heart to win the world? ”

It was a thought that could not help but rise in his heart.

"Liu Wen, wait a minute."

As he walked, a voice stopped him.

"Butler Xiaowan."

He turned his head and saw Xiao Wan standing at the gate waving to him.

"What the young master gave you, in addition, Brother Qiangzi and Lao Liu will come back at noon, and they will also go to the farm in the afternoon, and it will be safer and more convenient for you to go back in a carriage with him at that time."

Xiao Wan said, giving him a black bag with some difficulty.

Liu Wen took the black bag and felt quite heavy.

When I went back to the room and opened it, I saw that there were steel pipes inside. Take out one and look at it, the metal surface is smooth, and when you look inside through the window light source, the inside is also extremely smooth. It is very difficult to make such a delicate metal pipe.

midday

Ren Pingsheng called Liu Qiang, Liu Shu, and Lao Liu to come to dinner together.

A table full of dishes, Ren Pingsheng took a bottle of low-alcohol liquor, and Siqi and Ruhua warmed and poured wine next to him.

"A few of us, it's been a while since we've had a meal together, and we've had a full drink."

Ren Pingsheng raised the wine cup.

"The owner is busy, and we are all busy. Whether it's on the farm side or on the shop side. ”

Liu Qiang and the others hurriedly raised their wine glasses and drank a full glass.

"Now the caravan is about to start preparations, Xiao Wan has already bought the carriage, and I have prepared the soap.

This is the first time we have gone out, and we will not prepare other goods for the time being, so we will go out to explore the way and promote the Qi business name and the brand of 'Qixing'. ”

Although the entrepreneurial practice is not long, perhaps it is because the past few months have experienced too much, and it feels like a long time has passed.

Their ability has also been improved in the beating again and again, and they have also won the trust of Ren Pingsheng.

"This time when he went out, Liu Qiang didn't move, he was responsible for continuing to find people, and he was responsible for cultivating guards. It's a matter of urgency, and there's no substitute for it.

Liu Shu, Lao Liu, the two caravans, one east and one west, can only ask you. ”

Ren Pingsheng picked up his wine glass and said.

"Boss, I'm ready. I handed over the bookkeeping, auditing, and counting of goods to Liu Shiping, and after I left, there would be no problems between the two shops. ”

Liu Shu picked up his wine glass and said.

"Me too, in the farm, after fifteen, the overall framework construction should be about the same, and a lot of the rest is the work of sweeping the end, the workload is not large, Brother Qiang can help a little."

The sixth also picked up the wine glass and said.

"Okay, drink this cup full."

Ren Pingsheng praised drinking.

Because a year ago, Ren Pingsheng had revealed the formation of a caravan business, although no candidate was determined, but Liu Qiang and the three of them were very subjective and proactive, and they had already made corresponding arrangements.

"Eat food, drink, let's discuss the details of forming a caravan and the specific route of the merchant."

The meals are all notified to the kitchen in the morning, carefully prepared, and the guests and hosts enjoy the meal.

After the meal, Liu Shu and Lao Liu left together, planning to use these days to pick and select people and form their own caravans.

Liu Qiang was stopped by Ren Pingsheng.

"Qiangzi, I found Liu Wen this morning and gave him an important task."

Ren Pingsheng called Liu Qiang to sit down in the hall.

"This winter, the tide of living corpses is almost inevitable, Xie Yanwu will inevitably target us, and even the Northern Anhui military disaster is not far away from us.

Although there is a garrison in Yinshan County in the middle, if there are far-sighted people in the rebellion, they will definitely not turn a blind eye to the silver mines in Yinshan County, seeing that this battle has not ended for more than half a year, and the weakness of the imperial court has been visible to the naked eye.

Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough for a certain domain, and those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a moment. No matter near or far, we have to guard against all these things. ”
