Master Li said, "Lumi gun, looking at the entire military weapon bureau, there are not many people who can attack it."

Liu Bu said, "Not many people can build it, isn't it possible? Isn't this a powerful weapon for the court?"

Master Li said to him: "A great weapon, but it was all tributed by the Lumi Kingdom. Although Zhao Shizhen designed the Ming Dynasty imitation Lumi gun, which has a long range and great power, which is better than all the existing muskets, but because the barrel of the musket is too long and the cost is too high, the Military Weapon Bureau has not made it at all."

Liu Bu was very surprised without making it. He seemed to have mentioned it in many time travel novels, saying that this Lumi gun is very powerful and is not much different from Western melee guns. It is a domestic weapon and a counterfeit weapon. Many time travelers use it to defeat Jiannu and unify the world. Now some people say that the Ming Dynasty's military weapons bureau did not make such muskets.

Master Li said, "Yes, no one can fire this kind of musket. It's just that there are a few models in the model room. This kind of musket was not mass-produced at all. During the Wanli period, Zhao Shizhen had a conflict with officials who embezzled firearm production funds during the promotion of Lumi guns in the capital, and was almost wiped out. The new weapons behind were shelved before mass production were produced. Only the Lumi guns that were originally offered and Western guns were promoted. Some officials mentioned Zhao Shizhen's Lumi guns and lamented that although they were exquisite, they were not allowed to be seen."

Liu Bu said, "You mean that there are Lumi guns in our army, but this is the most tributed by Lumi Kingdom, not the Lumi guns transformed by Zhao Shizhen."

Master Li said, "Yes."

Liu Bu was very disappointed. He also wanted to learn from the great people in the book and get a team of Lumi guns out by himself, and then he could kill all directions and dominate the world.

Now, what the craftsman means is that this design is available, but it has never been used and has not been mass-produced on a large scale. In other words, it is impossible for him to obtain the technology of the Lumi gun.

Liu Bu said, "Although you can shoot bird guns, you can only shoot three shots a month and only thirty-six shots a year. That official is useless."

Master Li said, "Sir, you are an expert."

Only those who know the profession and experts who know firearms know that muskets must be used in a concentrated manner and must have a sufficient number to play a role. It is useless to have ten or eight muskets in the army.

Liu Bu said, "Master Li, have you heard that anyone can shoot such Lumi guns? If possible, I will hire you at all costs."

Master Li said: "Essentially no one of us can fire this kind of gun. This is just a rumor, because Zhao Shizhen had a conflict with the military weapon bureau officials, and the other party burned all his drawings. This rumored Lumi gun was considered to be lost."

Liu Bu felt extremely disappointed, and said, "What you mean is that although there are Lumi guns in the army, they have always been tributed by Lumi. We ourselves do not have the ability to make such muskets?"

Master Li said: "Yes! We don't have the ability to make this kind of musket, and no one can do it, but everyone has heard of its name."

Liu Bu said: "There are not many troops in the Ming army now using muskets. What's the use of shooting three muskets a month like you?"

Master Li said: "It is my job to fire a musket. I can't do anything other than hit it." But he thought about it and said: "The villain can hit the musket of the Florian."

The Frankie people he mentioned here were Portuguese.

Liu Bu was extremely surprised and said, "Since you can hit the Messenger of the Florida, why do you need to build this more backward bird system?"

Master Li said, "Because our army has always been equipped with bird guns, and bird guns are cheaper than those of the Franks. The superiors on it only want bird guns. No one wants a clamp, because the coercion costs more than a silver ounce."

Liu Bu was incomparable to surprise. Why is it so scammed in this world? Why are these officials so scammed so hard that they can drive back with all their might?

Liu Bu asked, "Then Master Li, you have always been building the Bird Division every month, so how can you get in touch with the Francos' mesh gun? How can you shoot?"

Master Li said respectfully: "Because I only need to hand over a bird gun every month to complete the task. When I was idle, I took apart the Franchise man's mesh gun in the model room and studied it. Basically, we can build it. We can kill two of them a month, but it is just that the army is not collected and cannot be used as a task. It is useless for us to do it."

These craftsmen have been craftsmen for generations, and have built weapons for the people of the Military Weapon Bureau for generations. Their superiors are only responsible for giving them iron and materials, and then they ask them to hand over the weapons, which is called a mission.

And this is not enough, and the more scammed is the officials who know that these craftsmen have no need to squeeze them, and they work hard on the materials. Therefore, many weapons in the Military Weapon Bureau are also shoddy. This has nothing to do with the craftsmen's skills, but with the materials. Just imagine that you need ten kilograms of materials to make a good knife. If the other party gives you five kilograms of materials, how can you make the same good weapon?

Moreover, the system here is completely rigid, and it turns people into zombies under the rigid system. Obviously, people can build more advanced mesh rope guns, but these officials pretend that they didn't see it, and they still continue to shoot the previous bird guns. The reason is that the bird guns are more material-free, and the ones used in the army are also bird guns.

This aroused Liu Bu's interest. The current Portuguese and Spaniards are pioneers who pioneered the East. Their musket technology is invincible and has defeated the indigenous people of the South China Sea.

Although they were beaten by Zheng Zhilong's troops when they entered the East, this is because the number of Spaniards and Portuguese is too small and they are not their opponents.

But when it comes to the Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch of this era, their professional soldiers had a very strong single combat ability. Liu Bu thought that without obtaining the rumored Lumi gun, it would be quite good if they could get the Flang Jiman's melee. As long as these guns are used reasonably and legally, they can still play a great role. Not to mention anything else, there is no problem using them to beat the Jiannu army.

Liu Bu was so happy when he thought of this section that he said, "Do you know all the process technology of a coercion gun? Can you make one by yourself?"

Master Li said respectfully: "Yes, I can make two shots a month. As long as the adult gives me the materials, I can help the adults beat it."

The craftsmen of this era had no idea of ​​division of labor and cooperation or assembly line. To build a bird gun craftsman, he had to be responsible for all the work. From the beginning of smelting iron to the end of oiling the bird gun, he did it himself, and took care of it. Although their status was very low, this was all technical work and not everyone could do it.

Master Li saw that Liu Bu was still hesitating, and he said, "There are two shots in the little man's house. You can use them to show them to the adults. The adults can know the villain's skills."

Liu Bu said, "Since you were recommended by Master Mao, I must believe in you. Even if I don't believe in you, I have to believe in Master Mao's character."

Liu Bu said this, which made Mao Qiao very proud. He straightened his chest and felt that his face was getting bigger.

Liu Bu said, "Can you hit two shots a month by yourself?"

Master Li said, "If you work overtime, you can get three shots at night. The production cost and material cost of each shot are about eleven taels of silver. However, if you can make this convex gun, the cost on the market will be more than thirteen taels, or even selling it for fifteen taels, there is no problem. If you hire a villain, you only need to pay thirty-three taels of silver every month, and the villain can earn you thirty-nine taels of silver back."

Master Li really couldn't survive in the Military Weapon Bureau and was so angry that he didn't want to work in it anymore, so he tried his best to find a job. Mao Qiao, a person who was far inferior to his skills, is now wearing beautiful clothes and riding a tall horse. He came back successfully and said that he had worked at the Liu family in Fushan. Now he is trying every means to enter the Liu family in Fushan and think of working at them.

Liu Bu said, "It's just a mere six taels of silver. I never take it seriously. You don't go to Linqing to inquire. I'm not fifty or sixty taels for a meal."

When Liu Bu said so arrogantly, Master Li didn't know how to respond, and he was thinking to himself, then why are you asking us to do? Please be our ancestors.

Liu Bu said, "Master Li, since you know every technique of building a colloid gun, I would like to ask you to guide my craftsmen to build a colloid gun."

When Liu Bu asked Master Li for this, he immediately refused. He said, "In our industry, we can pass on men but not women, and we can pass on daughters-in-law but not women. We can only rely on this skill to eat. If we teach our disciples, we will starve the master to death."

When Liu Bu saw the other party rejecting directly, he showed a disdainful sneer on his face. He said, "A hundred households, including food and accommodation, with a monthly salary of 4 taels. Every time he creates a musket, he will reward you with a silver."

Master Li was almost shocked when he heard the conditions given by Liu Bu. There were such scary conditions. He thought that if he could squeeze into Liu's mansion and work hard to build three muskets for him every month and earn two or three taels of silver, it would be very amazing and very pleasant. Now the other party's condition was to give him a hundred households, and the salary started directly from four taels of silver. Is this condition too scary?

When Mao Qiao saw Master Li still in a daze, she quickly pushed him and said, "You are so happy, Mr. Xie."

Master Li woke up like a dream. He knelt down and said, "I wish to die for the Lord."
