Luffy walked into the cabin where Ji Aojian was, "President, many of the muskets we used in the battle were cracked and exploded, and they have been damaged by nearly two ......."

Ji Aojian was stunned, "So many?"

We have fought two battles with Heifeng Village in total, and we scrapped so many firearms, and the quality of firearms in this era is really very unreliable.

Luffy said, "We brought a total of more than 300 firecrackers this time. President, if you follow the firearm training camp you said, I'm afraid that in a few months, all these muskets will be finished in training. ”

Ji Aojian sighed, "Don't worry, the gun damage report will not always be so high." Those firecrackers that blew up the bore were themselves defective, so they were not used. A musket that can withstand two battles will not be damaged at this rate in the future. ”

Luffy Hao thought for a moment, "But the more than 200 guns we have in reserve must also have some defective products, and if the newcomers blow up their chambers during training, they will definitely be very afraid of firearms." ”

Ji Ao said, "Then let's try to grab more first, and try to pick out those defective products as much as possible." ”

It was very difficult to enter the era of muskets, and the quality of firearms alone was a huge obstacle. Just like the germ of capitalism, as early as the Song Dynasty in China, the commodity economy had already flourished to the point of the advent of paper money, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were repeated workshops for hired production, but these sprouts finally failed to grow in the traditional resistance and were strangled in infancy.

Nowadays, the musket combat method advocated by Ji Aojian is also the germ of a new thing, and he will definitely encounter various problems in the process of growing up. If it is not handled well, everyone will think that firearms are nothing more than that, and they still trust the cold weapons of broadswords and spears more.

In the northeast, the Manchus have horses, and the Han people have no horses, so the Manchus are the rulers and the Han are the ruled. Only by popularizing firearms and letting everyone have muskets in their hands can they have the confidence and courage to defeat the Manchurians.

In the era when there were no muskets, the people here just wanted to be bandits, and they had to have horses before they dared to deal with the Manchurian officials and soldiers. It was very troublesome for those Manchurian cavalry to catch them, and they went into the mountains to suppress the bandits a few times, but they were gone.

Hao Da of the Black Wind Village, first, has never seen the power of firearms, and secondly, he bullied the peasant union without horses. The most important thing is to see that they are not official soldiers, when they are a new force that eats black and eats black, and they don't want to lose their prestige on the underworld, so they launch a frontal charge. If Hao Dalong was ruthless and only fought guerrilla attacks in the Black Wind Mountain, it would be very troublesome for Ji Aojian to take them down.

Luffy said, "President, even if you jump out of all the defective products of the fire gun, it is still not enough to train for a few months." ”

Ji Aojian asked, "Why?"

Luffy said, "We have limited reserves of gunpowder, and we will run out soon." ”

The germination of the musket method of warfare has encountered a major problem, and it is absolutely impossible to have a gun without ammunition.

Ji Aojian looked out the window and said, "Hall Master Lu, Wuliugou is a good place." ”

Luffy said, "I still think the Black Wind Village is better, they have been in business for so many years, not only have ready-made villages, but also various garrison facilities. ”

Ji Ao said, "We must not put our headquarters in Heifeng Mountain, it has long been a bandit's den, and if we occupy it, others will feel from the bottom of their hearts that we are the heirs of the cause of Heifeng Village, which is not conducive to mobilizing the masses." ”

Luffy said, "So what's so good about this Wuliugou?"

Ji Ao Kendao, "There are coal mines here, as well as iron mines. ”

Luffy was stunned, "Coal Mine Iron Mine?"

Ji Ao Kendao, "With coal mines and iron mines, we can make our own guns." I've seen it, and the coal produced here is cohesive, and it's the most suitable for steelmaking. ”

Luffy asked, "Then who will dig coal, who will make iron, and who will make muskets?"

Ji Ao Kendao, "Digging coal is the easiest, as long as it is a person, you can dig it." As for the talents who make iron and guns, the immigration hall will find them, and the next batch of people who will come over will have these craftsmen. ”

Now Ji Moli has built an immigration hall under the Mending Heaven Association, paying special attention to talents with skilled jobs and funding them to develop outside the customs.

Luffy Hao thought for a moment, "It's easy to find a craftsman who makes iron, where did the person who made the gun come from?"

Ji Ao Kendao, "We can't always secretly resell with the imperial court firearms field, the seventh sister will dig up a few masters who make guns and guns." ”

Luffy Haoqi said, "Miss Seven can even dig this?"

Ji Ao Kendao, "Seventh Sister often says that as long as the hoe dances well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down." Do you think, the craftsmen of the government-run factories only have a fixed salary all year round, and they do more and less work. If they come to the Northeast, we will pay them by piece, and we can also give them all kinds of expert subsidies, so why is no one willing to come?"

Luffy nodded, "Iron smelting is there, guns are available, but what about gunpowder?"

Ji Ao Kendao, "Gunpowder is easier, it is nothing more than using saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal to prepare according to the ratio. This Northeast New Year also wants to set off fireworks, invite those who make firecrackers to come, open in Wuliugou, and specially prepare black powder. ”

The matter of making guns and ammunition has been solved, and the master of the hall said, "I still have one last problem." ”

Ji Ao Kendo, "What's the problem?"

Luffy said, "President, according to your meaning, there are a thousand people to be trained here. And we're going to have a few thousand regular people here. ”

Ji Ao kendao, "That's right, so that more than 10,000 people can practice muskets in a year." A man only has a gun in his hand, and he does not need a horse, and he can fight guerrilla warfare with horsemen in the ravine and woods. ”

Luffy said, "After that, there will be thousands of people living here, how much food and drink do you have to eat and drink a day? Wuliugou is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is very inconvenient to transport grain in." ”

The mountain road of this Wuliugou is very narrow, and it can only accommodate a few horses in parallel, which is narrower than the mountain road of Heifeng Mountain.

Ji Aojian said with a smile, "There is a town outside Wuliugou, if we have a few thousand people here, it will be a huge market, and the materials from all parties will be transported over for sale, and we can just go to the town to move the goods." ”

Luffy Hao snorted, "President, you think too beautifully, it's okay to talk about other things, how can food be sold? These people who came to wander outside the gate came here because they were afraid of famine in their hometown." They have surplus food, and they store it themselves. ”

Ji Ao Jian said, "There are still a lot of wasteland outside Wuliugou, didn't we organize immigrants to come over, and naturally let them practice guns while cultivating land, which was called Legion Tuntian in ancient times." ”

Luffy said, "In addition to raising people, we also have to raise horses, and after we laid down the Black Wind Village, there are almost three hundred horses." As the saying goes, a horse for a month, a year, a horse is the appetite of a dozen people, and now you can't afford it. ”

Ji Ao said, "If you can't afford it, sell it first." Let's go to the town to sell horses. ”

Since people from all walks of life in the vicinity gathered in Wuliugou to join the peasant union, and most of them were merchants, they naturally held a trade fair in the town.

Ji Aojian brought two hundred horses to the town, and horses in the northeast were already in demand, and he only sold them at half of the usual market price, and they were sold out in a short time.

The people who bought the horses all smiled and praised, "President, you are really generous, and you sell at such a cheap price." ”

Ji Ao Kendao, "The people who join the club are all brothers, so naturally we will give a preferential price." ”

Anyway, these horses were also stolen from Black Wind Village, so they didn't need capital.

Ji Aojian said again, "Now you have bought a horse, and by the way, the carriage has also been arranged, and then we will go to the Black Wind Village to trade the inventory there, and you will directly buy it and move away." ”

There are really a lot of belongings in Heifeng Village, and Ji Aojian feels that it is too troublesome to move back to Wuliu Town, so he simply leaves someone to guard it. At this time, all kinds of merchants were mobilized to buy inventory, saving their own transportation effort.

Everyone is happy, seeing that the chairman sells horses so cheaply, if the inventory in the Black Wind Village is to be sold, it is probably also cheap.

Someone asked, "Is there still a carriage for sale here?"

Ji Ao Kendao, "This is a lumber yard and a carpentry workshop, and we are currently rushing to build a carriage, and it will be enough for everyone in a few days." ”

Someone else asked, "How much is the carriage?"

Ji Ao said, "The one who bought the horse just now will give it to the carriage and give it away for nothing." ”

Everyone liked it even more, and put it in a carriage, how many more goods could be transported.

I only heard a merchant sigh, "Although it is good to have horses and carts, it is just that horse bandits are rampant outside this pass, and they will come to rob them when they see them, and those full people often requisition our horses and never return them." ”

This caused everyone to be worried, and the risk of foreign business transportation was very large, so the scale could not be increased.

Ji Aojian said with a smile, "Actually, this is also easy, we can jointly set up a transportation line of this association, everyone will brand the mark of this association on the horse, if someone robs it, I will come to settle accounts with them." ”

Everyone cheered and felt the warmth of joining the club again.

Ji Ao Jian Xin said, there should have been a special carriage and horse shop outside this pass, which can not only unify transportation, but also form an intelligence network. In the future, as long as there is a wind and grass on the freight route, I will be able to know what the movements of the horse bandits and the Manchurians are.
