Chapter 54 Self-generating fire gun

Qin Zhao quickly said, "Fourth Master, at this time, you are the only one who can resist this prefect for me. Please ask the Fourth Master to take action!"

Zheng Chenggong asked, "Where has Lu Yixuan attacked? Is it difficult for you to produce soft chairs in Xiangshan County?"

For Zheng Chenggong, the most important thing is Qin Zhao's sofa production. The most important thing is that Qin Zhao produced himself in Xiangshan County and then loaded it directly on the boat. Zheng Sen could only make 20% of the sofas sold in Guangzhou City, which was not much.

Qin Zhao took a breath and said, "Lu Yixuan has not yet attacked Xiangshan, but has just smashed my shop in Guangzhou."

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, his face immediately relaxed.

If the production base is not destroyed, the interests of the Zheng family will not be greatly damaged.

Qin Zhao quickly said, "Second Master! Although the workshop we are waiting for is not threatened, you have 20% of your soft chair shop in Guangzhou City. Originally, I could sell thousands of soft chairs in Guangzhou City a month, but I also had more than 1,000 or two per month of dry stock dividends."

"With this Lu family's money, the business in Guangzhou cannot be done. This is a business that has cost the Fourth Master more than 1,000 taels of silver every month."

Zheng Chenggong pondered silently and asked, "Did Lu Yixuan come forward?"

Qin Zhao replied: "Lu Yixuan did not take action. It was his nephew Lu Zihong who came forward. He beat my blacksmith and smashed my shop."

When Zheng Chenggong heard Lu Zihong's name, he scolded again: "Sir!"

When Qin Youli heard this, he saw that although Zheng Chenggong cursed the Lu family loudly, he refused to ask for helping the store. He felt anxious.

He knelt on the ground with a pounce and said loudly: "The Fourth Master is the son of Min Shuai. Why are you afraid of him as a little prefect? ​​Please ask the Fourth Master to take action for us!"

Zheng Chenggong helped the old accountant on the ground and said slowly: "Old accountant, this matter is not urgent, so we must make a long-term plan."

He sat down and flipped the pen holder stone on the desk with his hands, his face was gloomy and clear, as if he was calculating how to fight against this prefect Lu.

After thinking for a long time, Zheng Chenggong did not put down the pen holder stone. It seemed that it was very difficult for him to fight against the local tyrant magistrate in Guangzhou Prefecture.

Qin Zhao took a breath and said, "Fourth Master, the Fourth Master needs to do a lot of effort in this matter. If we can settle the Lu family and other villains who covet Guangzhou shops after this battle, I am willing to give 20% of the Guangzhou business to the Fourth Master. In the future, the Fourth Master and I will share the 46% share of the Guangzhou business."

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, his eyes flashed.

He seemed to have thought of some good idea, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

But when he put down the teacup, he continued to ponder. As he thought about it, he suddenly shook his head slightly, as if he was unable to match his strength.

When Qin Youli saw Zheng Chenggong shook his head, he became panicked and looked at Qin Zhao anxiously.

Qin Zhao thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fourth Master, if the Fourth Master settles this matter, I will give the Fourth Master a structural diagram of a self-generated musket!"

Zheng Chenggong's eyes lit up and he asked with enthusiasm: "Oh?"

"What self-generated musket?"

Qin Zhao said: "Ordinary bird guns must be equipped with a fuse. This fuse is very unusable. Every time the bird gun is fired, it must be checked, blown and pulled, and then tried it once before it can be used. It is very delayed on the battlefield. The reason why bird guns cannot be assembled on a large scale is also an important reason for the unusable fuse of this fuse."

"And I have a design drawing of a self-generated musket. This self-generated musket does not use a fuse, but uses flint to stimulate the gunpowder. Every time I fight, I don't need to try the fuse to blow the fuse, which saves a lot of time."

"If it rains lightly, it will not cause fire because of using a fuse."

Zheng Chenggong's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Zhao's words.

Who is Qin Zhao? He used some gunpowder to kill a tiger. If Qin Zhao ignited gunpowder by fuse, it would be easy to be discovered by a tiger. Qin Zhao obviously used some secret method to ignite the gunpowder fuse but did not attract the attention of a tiger. I think this is something similar to the ignition device of a self-generated musket.

Qin Zhao is a skilled craftsman, and Zheng Chenggong has a deep understanding. If ordinary people and Zheng Chenggong sell self-produced muskets, that is, flintlock rifles, Zheng Chenggong will definitely sneer. But Qin Zhao is different. Qin Zhao was the one who invented such a comfortable spring soft chair, so what he invented is naturally practical.

Who is Zheng Chenggong? He is the son of pirate leader Zheng Zhilong. The Tongfan maritime merchants in Fujian are the best at sea fighting, and the Zheng family is the general leader of the maritime merchants in Fujian. Not to mention that the Zheng family ordered Fujian province to need new weapons, even dozens of lucky ships under Zheng Chenggong also need new weapons to expand their power.

The power at sea must be expanded, and the domineering power on land must be expanded! If Zheng Chenggong's father Zheng Zhilong is not managed on land, how could Zheng Chenggong be called the Minshou?

Zheng Chenggong excitedly turned his right wrist and asked, "Is it that useful?"

Qin Zhao said: "When the Fourth Master's sea soldiers and horses practiced self-generated muskets to break through the four seas, the Fourth Master knew whether my design was good!"

"good!"

Zheng Chenggong excitedly slapped the armrests of the sofa soft chair.

"Qin Zhao, I will fight for you this Guangzhou magistrate Lu Yixuan. I see how brave he is, and dares to touch the Zheng family's shareholding transaction."

...

On April 25, Zheng Chenggong wore a square flat scarf and was dressed neatly, and went to the Guangzhou Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Office.

The eight tall and big servants in front were clearing the way. Zheng Chenggong rode on a horse that was as red as a fire, followed by eight servants in the road. Zheng Chenggong showed his biggest show and headed to the magistrate of Guangzhou Prefecture.

Zheng Sen doesn't act like this on weekdays. On weekdays, he is just the head of a branch of Fujian Maritime Business in Guangzhou, very low-key. However, it is different at this time. The Zheng family's transactions were smashed. If Zheng Sen doesn't show off any pomp, others will be considered as Zheng Sen and will be bullied.

The prefect had already received the news and opened the gate of the yamen to welcome Zheng Chenggong. The steward of the Guangzhou prefect welcomed him to the gate and took Zheng Chenggong into the second hall.

The second hall was also part of the prefect's office and was dilapidated. However, the musk spice was burned in the main hall early, and Zheng Chenggong felt the fragrance was scent as soon as he entered.

Guangzhou magistrate Lu Yixuan also changed into a big red robe from the fourth-rank magistrate, sitting in the main hall waiting for Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong is a scholar with fame. He doesn’t need to kneel down when he sees the prefect. As soon as he goes in, he bows his hands and says, “Master Lu, the transaction of spring soft chairs belongs to my Zheng family. Is the nephew of Lu’s nephew very tight?”

Lu Yixuan seemed to be unaware of the situation and said, "Young Master Zheng, what do you mean?"

Zheng Chenggong said: "Half the transaction of the spring soft chair belongs to my Zheng family and half to the Qin family. Now that Magistrate Lu's nephew smashed my soft chair store, wouldn't he want to make enemies with my Zheng family?"

Lu Yixuan actually didn't know that Lu Zihong had smashed Qin Zhao's shop. He only realized that there was a conflict here after hearing Zheng Chenggong's words.

If there was no conflict, Lu Yixuan would of course let Lu Zihong stop because of Zheng Sen's visit. That was a trivial matter. However, Lu Zihong thought that Qin Zhao had no background a few days ago and had already taken action. Now let Lu Zihong come forward to compensate and apologize, which would damage the Lu family's majesty in Guangzhou City.

When the news spread, the Lu family, which has always been domineering, will lose face.

But if the Zheng family does not apologize and compensate the Zheng family, how will the Zheng family deal with it? This is the Zheng family, who is known as the Fujian coach.

Lu Yixuan felt nervous and felt that he was inexplicably held in the air, unable to move forward or retreat.

He laughed dryly, held up the teacup and said, "Young Master Zheng, you are still young, sit down and talk slowly!"

Zheng Chenggong frowned.

Zheng Sen is in Guangzhou, and the most taboo thing is that others say he is young. He is indeed only twenty years old, but this age does not affect his erection, but instead gives him a sense of aura that middle-aged and elderly people do not have.

Zheng Chenggong said coldly: "What does the prefect mean? Is this not acknowledging my family's shares in the soft chair trading?"

Lu Yixuan took a sip of tea and said slowly for a long time: "The Zheng family runs in Fujian, why did you reach Guangzhou?"

Lu Yixuan thought about it and thought, feeling that this matter could not be retreated, and it was too embarrassing to retreat at this time.

His words mean that the Zheng family was too self-righteous and actually sent a 20-year-old concubine to Guangzhou, just to do other people's business in Guangzhou.

Zheng Chenggong was a young man after all, and was suddenly angry by Lu Yixuan's attitude.

He said coldly: "Lu Zihong apologized to Qin Zhao, the owner of Qin's spring soft chair in public within three days, and compensated for the money to repair the shop. This matter was revealed. Otherwise, the Lu family would be in a dilemma with my Zheng family!"

Lu Yixuan shook his head and said, "Young Master Zheng, I haven't figured out what's going on yet. Young Master Zheng should not be so domineering."
