Chapter 112: There are iron mines, go to Beihai County
"Sir, Sir, Mr. Wang is busy with affairs, and sometimes he may be a little negligent." Wang Pengyue muttered in a low voice: "How long has it been, and there is still no news, no iron, and the people here are just doing it for a living."
"..." Jiang Yang thought it was true. Wang Tong was quite busy with things, and things had been going on for a long time, which seriously restricted his development.
"Go and call Wang Tong over." Jiang Yang ordered the boy behind him, and then said to Wang Pengyue: "I am here to give you a gift."
With that said, the two of them walked inside. Jiang Yang took the drawings from behind and spread them flatly on the table.
Looking at all the messy things on the drawing, Wang Peng became increasingly confused and confused.
Sir, what is this?
Jiang Yang glanced at it, the design drawing of the flintlock gun? It was still a bit ahead of its time, so he looked around and put up the drawing of the musket first.
After finishing the drawing of the flintlock gun yesterday, Jiang Yang also drew the drawing of the gun. This thing is simple after all.
"Look at this first." Jiang Yang took out the blueprint of the gun.
Comparatively speaking, the fire gun is very simple. It is a long tube. Only the back position is a little more difficult. The last thing is a top order tube and ammunition.
Wang Pengyue looked at the cup of tea carefully, put down the drawing and exclaimed: "Sir, this is really the work of ghosts and gods."
"If this thing is researched, then the pulley crossbow will be dispensable. The lethality of this weapon is far beyond that of the pulley crossbow!" Wang Pengyue continued: "Is it just that the gunpowder has such power?"
Jiang Yang gave up and said, "Wouldn't you know if gunpowder has the power I expected by studying it?"
The fire gun is relatively simple, the principle is easy to understand, and the structure is simple, so there is no difficulty in manufacturing it.
The point is this flintlock gun!
"Come and see this." Jiang Yang put the drawings of the flintlock gun on the table and said slowly: "This is called a flintlock gun. Its key point is to use the firing device to generate power to push the gunpowder out."
"His effective range is only about 80 meters, but its power is far beyond that of a pulley crossbow."
Although the firing range of the flintlock gun is shortened, the power of the aim is greatly improved. If you fire it in one shot, it doesn't matter whether you are practicing Shaolin's golden bell or iron cloth shirt, you will die!
"The structure here is a little complicated. Look at this. This is called flint, and this is called trigger."
"As for how to make these small parts and explain the concepts, I will explain them in the drawings at the back. Please take a good look."
"My request to you now is very simple. Now try your best to build me farm tools, and the quality cannot be bad!"
"Choose some masters to study muskets and flintlocks together."
"While we are working on making armors for the soldiers, we are also developing muskets."
Jiang Yang looked at him and said: "I will personally solve the iron problem for you, and I will also solve the manpower problem for you. Do you have the confidence to complete this mission?"
"Yes!" Wang Pengyue subconsciously stood up straight and said loudly.
Wang Pengyue was still studying the drawings, but Wang Tong had already arrived. Looking at his sweaty face, he must have trotted all the way here.
"Sir, I was just discussing with the carpenters about the tables, chairs and benches for our school. They came a little late." Wang Tong rolled his eyes and said quickly: "I still need to buy things from the liquor factory and the sugar factory in a while."
This steward is also very tired. He holds the county's financial power in his left hand and purchasing power in his right hand.
"It doesn't matter, I guess you understand what happened when I called you here." Jiang Yang sat on the chair and took a sip.
He continued: "We face many enemies. To be honest, it may seem like peace and harmony are rising, but disputes are everywhere."
"Whether it's the officers and soldiers in the county or the horse bandits active in the two roads, they are all huge threats to us."
"If we can't ensure that the knife in our hands is sharp enough, then we will be like fish on the chopping board, and all we are doing is making wedding dresses for others."
"Iron! The most important thing must be solved, otherwise we will not be able to face those ferocious wolves."
Wang Tong's scalp was sweating when he heard this, and he felt very aggrieved. It's not that I didn't work hard.
It is really difficult. If we say that in the past, the number of people was small and the demand for iron was not much, we could just collect it casually and use it.
But what about now? This Wangji Blacksmith Shop is like eating iron, the front foot goes in and the back foot disappears.
And the small part of the iron on the market now can't hold up at all, and the quantity is large? Sorry! Do you want to rebel? It's not easy to buy at all.
"Sir, it's really hard to buy this, but recently there are some clues." Wang Tong said in a low voice: "We found out that there is a trading company in Beihai County, and they have iron ore in a county."
"But the iron ore has been contracted and will be supplied directly to the court."
?Jiang Yang looked at him quietly without saying anything.
"We found that the imperial court took the iron at a very low price. I have sent people to contact them and said that they wanted to buy some iron at a high price. Their attitude is still very vague."
Beihai County?
Jiang Yang thought for a while and said: "I, the county magistrate, have not yet gone to Beihai County to see Shangguan, but I have failed. Tell me about this trading company, and I will go and see how to solve the iron problem!"
"Sir, I can take care of these little things. You are a man of ten thousand gold and you can't have any problems." Wang Tong said worriedly.
Wen Guan had already told them about the interrogation of Wang Shaoyuan yesterday.
When they thought about the fact that there was a Wang family in the county who was eyeing Xiami County, and that black man Colonel, they naturally didn't want Jiang Yang to go.
Spiritual leader.
"It's okay to go and see Beihai County and take a look at the wind and rain outside." Jiang Yang said: "I don't need to say more. Let Cheng Zhiyong order fifty good people to follow me."
Besides wanting to solve the iron problem and meet with Shangguan, Jiang Yang naturally had other ideas.
For example, what is their attitude towards their armor after this war?
The Wang family should have heard the news. What is their attitude towards me?
Besides, Beihai County shouldn’t go and take a good look at it? Make some plans?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yang became more and more determined to meet the governor of Beihai County. Where is his immediate boss? How could he do it without a visit?
"Sir, please rest assured that I will develop these things as quickly as possible to ensure that I will live up to your trust."
"Okay, now that the matter has been finalized, I'll go back and make arrangements before leaving tomorrow." Jiang Yang was about to turn around but suddenly looked back at the pulley crossbow on the table and said, "I'm taking these things with me too."
