Xiangjiang Island, firearm factory.
This is one of Jia Qiang's lifeblood.
Most of the old men in the factory are Delin, and the guards are the elite Ye Owls.
Everyone knows the truth, and their family members are under the care of Delin.
It is not a hostage, but a guarantee that they have something to raise and learn from the young, and that they will be foolproof...
One of the night owls' heads, Grandma Sun's disciple Li Hetian personally took charge of it.
The other person is Ni Er.
This civilian man who originally puts money to make a living is a very filial man.
Later, it was valued by Jia Yun and introduced to Xixijie Street.
Later, someone kidnapped Ni Er's wife, his wife and daughter, and threatened him to poison the courtyard of Xixie Street Huiguan East Road.
The East Road Court is full of heroic officials. As expected, two of them were poisoned to death, and Jia Qiang couldn't afford to take it.
As a result, even though Ni Er saw his daughter's fingers, he did not betray Jia Qiang.
How many people in the world can do this?
Such a loyal and courageous man was naturally included in the core of the Delin.
Now the family has moved to Xiangjiang Island and become the chief manager.
Ni Er, why did I hear that you are a father again?
After visiting the artillery workshop, Jia Qiang came out to wipe her sweat. Looking at Ni Er, whose clothes were soaked beside her, she asked with a smile.
Ni Er was so happy when he heard this, he couldn't stop and nodded: I didn't expect that the Duke of the State would still pay attention to such a small matter, and he was just pretending to be a good person!My wife gave birth to a boy for me, Duke, Ni Er has a son!
Jia Qiang smiled and said: Then I have to make up a gift when I look back.By the way, what happened to your girl Xiao Xinghua?
When Ni Er heard this, his smile faded a little and scratched his head and said: Girl, I feel so distressed, that is, her mother is a person who values her son.In addition, it's okay, Duke Lao is worried about it.
Jia Qiang naturally understood what he meant. Having a daughter these days is a loss of money, and often the more women they are, the more boys they prefer, even Li Jing, let alone ordinary women?
Then Ni Er's girl lost another finger and became disabled. Later, even said that her husband's family was inferior to others...
He pondered for a moment and said, "Ni Er, turn around and bring the little Xinghua, I want to take a adopted daughter."This matter should have been handled long ago, but I didn't think that there were too many things and it has been delayed until now.
Ni Er was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said: Duke, how can this be done?That girl is so lucky that she can't bear Ah!
Jia Qiang waved his hand and said: No need to say more. The original incident was originally a matter of the adults, and it shouldn't have been involved in the innocent girl.Now that I have reached this point, if I don’t give an explanation, I will even feel sorry for my conscience.When we returned to Beijing, Xiao Xinghua would go back to Beijing with us and study with my daughter in the future.When your son grows up, it is the same. Follow Li Si to study in the clan school and be a companion.
When Ni Er heard this, his black face turned red with excitement. He knelt down and kowtowed, saying a kind thing.
Jia Qiang smiled and shook his head and said: Not to mention these things, you and Li Dangtou will be in charge for a while.When Xiao Liuqiu is stable, move over.But even if it is over, you still have to be responsible for the key points of this lifeline.I can't believe anyone except you.
Li Hetian was a taciturn person and didn't say much at this moment, kowtowing to greet him.
Jia Qiang smiled at him and said: Your son Li Zhan is now heading south with the clan school, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. It is estimated that he will meet in February.
Li Hetian was naturally excited when he heard this, and stood up and said: It’s all thanks to the cultivation of the country’s prince!
This is something that can really change the fate of a family. When I was working for the salt merchant in Yangzhou Prefecture, how could I ever imagine that one day his son would be able to go to school like this?
When I arrived at the musket workshop, as soon as I opened the door, I saw the oncoming heat wave.
The sound of iron striking in the ears is endless.
Duke, making firearms and cannons are completely different.The cannon is cast, but this firearm is much more delicate and harsh.The first thing is to smelify iron, use Fu iron to refine it, and use the best charcoal material, and only then can you make it mature if you smelize ten kilograms of Fu iron to one kilogram.
Then use this cooked iron to make a mold, keep heating and pounding
After the tube is formed in the mold, turn it over again, wrap it around again, and continue heating and pounding.
After that, the drilling tube, closing tube, sticking gun heart, washing gun heart and other processes are also required.
To build a firearm, you need to use more than 40 kilograms of iron, three cents of silver, five hundred kilograms of carbon, and eight cents of silver.Six people craft a furnace of iron, thirty workers, nine cents of silver
Listening to Li Hetian counting each step carefully, even the geometry of the production was clear, Jia Qiang nodded.
Are these Western barbarians still diligent in their work?
Seeing that there were many obviously Westerners in the workshop, wearing leather and holding iron hammers, Jia Qiang asked.
Ni Er laughed and said: There are also disobedient people. After some horses are urinated, they are unaware of the vastness of the sky and earth. After slaughtering two sharks in the sea, they are all honest. There are also people who want to resign, but Delin has signed a contract with them, and he gave such a high monthly salary, saying that he would not be able to do it for five years or less! However, no one abuses them on weekdays. As long as you do things seriously, everything is easy to say. Later I found out that we are not bad people, we paid monthly money on time, and the food was excellent, and we could also send money out. Gradually, I became calm.
Jia Qiang nodded and said: Okay, let’s see this.
Although he is a time traveler, he knows how to create military merits?
He could not help anything except the concept of loading guns and paper-packing bullets afterwards, and using copper to make shell shells.
And these concepts cannot be realized in one or two years.
Times are too short at the moment. For safety, it is difficult for people to settle their hearts and is not conducive to further research and development.
Now it can only be considered a secret workshop.
It is better to wait until it is moved to Xiaoliuqiu and have sufficient defense capabilities to expand the scale and improve step by step.
After leaving the workshop, Jia Qiang's whole body was wet with sweat. He asked: It has been a year and a half since the establishment of this firearm workshop. Let's talk about how many wealth has it saved?
Li Hetian said: When the prince returned to China, he has saved 284 cannons on the island, including 32-pound cannons and 80 cannons and 112 cannons. The rest are all six-pound and three-pound cannons.In addition, there are 6,872 firearms.
Don’t think that so many artillery guns are enough. As far as Jia Qiang knows, a real four-masted heavy warship on the sea requires ninety to one hundred cannons!
However, because this heavy warship is too heavy, it is very rare for Western Yi countries to use it, and it is mostly used in the nearshore areas because it is difficult to travel long distances.
But even so, normal battleships will launch at least 64 to 74 guns.
Therefore, Xiangjiang Island has accumulated more than a year of wealth and can only equip four main battleships.
The gap is too far...
Not bad, it is already rare for us to do this step secretly here.
Jia Qiang still focused on encouragement and said: After relocating to Xiaoliuqiu, the scale can be expanded quickly. Please give money to people. What is the biggest difficulty right now?
Li Hetian said: When I return home, I am short of people, and the staff who can work on the island are still much short of people.The second is coal shortage.Fujian has sufficient pig iron for the time being, but there is not much good coal and it is too expensive.
Coal shortage?
Jia Qiang naturally understood that smelting iron requires good coal, but what he thought at this moment was: Coincidentally, I happened to know where the best coal is available!
Although Jia Qiang was not a top student in his previous life, he also knew that there was a Hongji coal mine in Annan, and the open-pit mine alone had a reserve of 200 million tons!
They are also high-quality anthracite, and they are right by the sea, so shipping is extremely convenient...
Don’t worry, it won’t take long to get good coals delivered!Well, the same is true for iron ore!
The most abundant mineral in Annan is coal, and the second is iron of good quality.
Now that we have accumulated technology, there are people on Xiaoliuqiu. It is no problem to prepare iron and coal to cast guns and build guns!
My grandfather is back!
Go up the room in Guanhai Manor and under the veranda.
Seeing Jia Qiang return, Xiangling was chatting with a group of little girls looking into the distant sea and chatting about the sun going down to the beach and playing stubbornly. She immediately cried out happily.
He didn't dislike Jia Qiang and ran over with a smile on his face.
Seeing her wearing a snow-covered white silk embroidered dress, she didn't wear any jewelry head or makeup, her bangs were fluffy on her forehead, and she clearly had a pretty face, but she had a pair of ignorant and naive eyes, like a child.
But this girl with a pair of innocent eyes like a child now has a body...
My wife won’t let you go out?
Jia Qiang asked with a smile.
Xiangling laughed and said: Madam said that the sun is too poisonous and easy to get rid of the sun, so it cannot be done.
Jia Qiang smiled and said: How about letting someone wear a few straw hats?If you wear it on your head, you won’t be afraid of the sun.
When Xiangling heard this, her whole beautiful face became lively. She smiled and said, "I'll go find my wife and say it!"!
After saying that, he took Xiao Jixiang and Xiao Jiaoer behind him to search for Daiyu.
There was a well in the corner of the courtyard. Jia Qiang raised a bucket of water and poured it on his head, which immediately became much more refreshing.
At this time, Qingwen poked her head out of it and saw him taking a shower, so she came to serve her.
Do you miss me or not?
There was also one person who had not been together for seven or eight days. Seeing Qingwen approaching her with a pretty face, Jia Qiang said funnyly.
Qingwen glanced at him with a fierce look, took off his sweaty clothes and scrubbed them with a veil and washed them with a cold water.
My grandfather told Lin Meimei yesterday that after finishing the work, he would set up a few banquets and invite everyone to join us.
Jia Qiang said that at this point, he deliberately stopped and smiled and waited for Qingwen's movement.
Sure enough, Qingwen stopped hearing this, looked up at Jia Qiang, and pursed her lips and said: "You are asking the host, what are you doing?"
Jia Qiang laughed and said: What do you think?Of course it is to celebrate Ping'er and Xiangling's body
Seeing Qingwen sternly rising and continuing to scrub him, Jia Qiang shouted: Auntie, it’s gentler, you’ve even gotten rubbed!
Seeing her crying again, she smiled and said: I really don’t know how to make fun of her!I told Lin Meimei that Qingwen, a roommate who is as beautiful as a fairy girl, always has to set up a few tables of banquets before she can get in the door?There are so many girls in the family, and she is the most arrogant. If she doesn't rely on her, what if an angel bites me hard?
Qingwen burst into tears and smiled when she heard this, and said, "You are a puppy!" However, seeing Jia Qiang looking at her with a smile, she lowered her head and said while scrubbing: There is no need to place a banquet. With this intention, it is better than placing a hundred tables! No one in the family except two wives was shown. Isn’t it a frivolous and ungrateful person? Nothing to cause trouble.
Jia Qiang smiled and said: Why not do that? Just say to the outside world, you are together?
Qingwen hesitated for a moment, nodded, and finally looked at Jia Qiang and smiled.
Jia Qiang laughed softly with his ears: Since that's the case, then there's no need to find another way tonight?
Qingwen blushed when she heard this. After spitting at Jia Qiang, she did not refute and continued to scrub him with a blushing face.
This is one of Jia Qiang's lifeblood.
Most of the old men in the factory are Delin, and the guards are the elite Ye Owls.
Everyone knows the truth, and their family members are under the care of Delin.
