Chapter 220 How much is the right price?

Shi Chuan paused for a moment, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "You two... I don't need you in terms of money; in terms of official positions... Well, it seems that you only have labor left. So, how about the two brothers who gave me one person, and I will work for ten years?

Since I came up with this recipe, of course I also want to form a musket team by myself. Your brothers have experience in playing with firearms and are familiar with the composition of the army in this era. I am so busy that I can't take care of it. So - you brothers are one of them and help me train a musket team according to my method. I will tell you this formula?"

The secret skills of the ancestors are, of course, they have to be powerful enough if others don’t know about it. However, Shi Chuan wants to form a team to produce musketeers in large quantities. This makes the Ling brothers very embarrassed, but... the Ling brothers lowered their heads and said with timidity: "As long as Dalang's orders."

Shi Chuan smiled slightly and explained: "Don't worry, I don't want to spread the technology, I just want to use the power of this technology."

That's good—the Ling brothers responded loudly: "As long as the master's instructions."

Ha, it’s really a mistake to pick up two generals from the firearm family. These people play with firearms, and they have a connection with each other. I believe that even if they are larger, they won’t attract attention, right? Besides, listening to them, these two people will be Shi Chuan’s apprentices in the future, so their armed forces are the Shi family’s armed forces to quietly develop the musket team, and then gather them when necessary... Haha

...

After purifying saltpeter, pour sulfur into the saltpeter aqueous solution, then add charcoal powder, stir it into a mud, and then put the mud into the skin, swing it quickly, and rotate it... After this process is completed, the gunpowder poured out of the skin becomes granular black gunpowder.

After preparing this bag of pelleted gunpowder by himself, Shi Chuan explained to the Ling brothers the difference between the launching medicine and the blasting medicine, and then handed the skin to the latter: "Aren't you two aristocratic families of gunpowder? I guess you have done this before, so you will do this."

Ling Fei looked at the small gunpowder like a Chinese medicine pill and hesitated and said, "Let's try it if we don't light a fire?"

Ling Peng kicked his younger brother in the ass: "By so much nonsense, make the things first."

The brothers worked together and soon converted the sulfur saltpeter charcoal brought back into various proportions of granular gunpowder. It was so happy that the three of them even forgot to lunch. By the time of supper, there was no ingredients for the two brothers to practice. Ling Fei cheered and poured out three piles of gunpowder and prepared for the ignition test. Shi Tong hurriedly stopped it.

"The portion is too much, take one third." Shi Chuan said, placing three small portions of gunpowder on three bamboo tiles and making the spacing between the three bamboo tiles large.

In fact, the gunpowder has not been completely dry yet, but these three people didn't care. They directly used to grill under the gunpowder with torches. When the bamboo tiles began to burn, the gunpowder particles were fried...

The new formula of gunpowder is indeed stronger than the several gunpowder formulas recorded in "Wu Jing Zong Yao". The gunpowder formula in "Wu Jing Zong Yao" consists of more than 20 raw materials, and there are only three new gunpowder, and the combustion and explosion effects are even more powerful.

"No hurry," Shi Chuan prevented Ling Peng from filling the Pear Blossom gun. He picked up the Pear Blossom gun of the Ling brothers and checked it carefully. The Pear Blossom gun is a hollow iron gun. According to the gunpowder formula of "Wu Jing Zongyao", mix it with iron sand, fill it with iron gun. When used, ignite it from the tip of the gun. The particles of the iron sand and gunpowder will be sprayed out along the small hole on the tip of the gun. When the gunpowder is sprayed, the tip of the gun has been burned red. The reddish gun tip is a soldering iron, and you can continue to use it to stab someone. It will be a second-level scald when rubbed on it.

However, the newly-produced gunpowder actually belongs to the category of explosives. This gun is roughly made, and there are many trachoma pear guns on the wall, which may not even be able to withstand the pressure of the ejection medicine.

Shi Chuan immediately threw down the Lihua gun and ordered: "Get my gun."

This new musket was passed to the hands of the Ling brothers, Shi Chuan calmly explained: "Only with such a smooth barrel can the new gunpowder be filled. Well, you can try it with your past pear blossom gun, but the medicine twist is set a little longer, so people should not hold it with their hands. After ignite the fire, they must put the gun aside and we will watch from a distance."

When the Ling brothers loaded the pear blossom gun, Shi Chuan did not stop them. After they loaded it, the pear blossom gun was stabbed in the open space in the center of the official house. Shi Chuan and Ling Peng were each responsible for blocking a door, prohibiting the handsome men from approaching. Later, Ling Peng stepped forward and lit the medicine twist with a torch.

In this gun, the Ling brothers had already used dry gunpowder. After the medicine twist was lit, it burned very quickly. Ling Fei was stunned for a moment and tilted his head to observe the medicine twist. Shi Chuan immediately shouted: "Run quickly."

Ling Fei was frightened and turned around in a daze to look at Shi Chuan here, but he found a black shadow pounced on him. Ling Fei reflexively punched him. The other party's hands passed through his fist shadow effortlessly. Ling Fei only felt his neck tightening, and after a fog, he came to his senses, his feet were already standing at the door of the post house, Shi Chuan was still holding his neck in his hand.

There was a rumbling sound in the yard, and the pear gun exploded. Ling Fei was shocked and only then did he feel how lucky he was.

Fortunately, the explosion of the black gunpowder was not very powerful. Although the gun rod was blown into several sections, the tip of the gun burst into the door, and the gun body was scattered for more than ten meters around it, it finally did not cause any major damage... During this period, Ling Peng felt a strong wind blowing through his ears. When the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, he reached out and touched it and found that a piece of meat was missing on his ears and blood was lying all over his neck.

"Be good, such a great power." Ling Peng sighed while covering his wound. At this time, the joy of obtaining the gunpowder formula covered the pain.

"Fortunately, your gun chamber is thinner. Well, it's about seven or eight grams of gunpowder. In addition, the tip of the gun is not closed enough, otherwise this official residence will suffer."

Later, Ling Fei went over to check the musket he brought in when he was in the air, and kept praising him: "Tsk tsk, this barrel is made of good iron, and the whole body is smooth and even... Master, how did this thing be made? Where is the blacksmith who made it? Can I try it with a shot?"

Shi Tong took his musket, and he grabbed a pair of gunpowder and weighed it. He simply taught them the knowledge of fixed-packing gunpowder: "Did you see it? How powerful was the explosion just now? The amount of gunpowder filled in the barrel is the same as the size of the gunpowder..."

The explosion just now attracted a lot of onlookers. Shi Chuan quickly waved and ordered Ling Fei to clean up the mess. He bowed and apologized everywhere. Fortunately, most of the juren knew this big man, and he complained for a few words, but he did not dare to offend the number one murderer in Haizhou too much.

He led the Ling brothers back to his house without hesitation. Shi Chuan borrowed the weighing powder from the owner of the nearby shop, weighing the gunpowder. Each portion of the weighing gunpowder was wrapped in thin silk paper and cannons. His hands were as fast as a clever groundhog. After a while, the table was filled with conical paper rolls.

Shi Chuan picked up a conical paper roll, bite the tip of the cone, pour a little bit of gunpowder into the gunpowder pool, then stuffed the paper roll into the bore, tamp the gunpowder pool with a strip of strips, covered the gunpowder pool, removed the security on the gun, rushed up, and handed the gun to Ling Fei: "Go to the place where no one in the yard to fire a shot."

Ling Fei ran out excitedly with his gun. Ling Peng quickly took out a few porcelain bottles from the package. These porcelain bottles were originally filled with wine and vinegar, but now they are all empty. Ling Peng handed over these empty porcelain bottles and iron sand and said with a favor: "The pear blossom gun I brought is destroyed. I will rely on the thunderbolt to hit the road in the future. Dalang will demonstrate to us."

Shi Chuan picked up the iron sand carried by the Ling brothers, twisted it gently, and shook his head: "There is no need to be made so small, and the shape should not be so round. Just make the iron sand bigger, even if the edges and angularities of the iron sand are like iron sheets or iron nails, it will be even more perfect."

He mixed iron sand with gunpowder, and Shi Chuan maliciously filled many porcelain pieces into it, sighing and said, "The power of porcelain is not very strong, the bottle body is too smooth. If you file a few cracks, you don't need to file it through, and there are cracks. Then when it explodes, it will be divided into countless pieces, which will be even more sinister."

At this time, a rumbling gunshot came from the courtyard, and several juren above whined: "Is it still allowed to sleep? Shi Changqing, you are the number one evil person in Haizhou, and you can't mess with us like this, right? Botao, Huang Botao, come out and take care of it."

Ling Fei's accusation came from outside the door. After a while, he ran in with a musket with interest and shouted in a stack of voices: "Master, this musket is indeed powerful than before. Hurry up, Master, teach me how to make this pear blossom gun."

Shi Chuan was waiting for this moment: "You have decided? Any one of your brothers will be appointed as your teacher. I don't need your apprenticeship fee, and you don't need to send money during the holidays in the future. This time, Haizhou was in chaos, and I took twenty or thirty boys, so I asked the person who worshiped me to come and train the boys, oh, and Cuizhuang Group Training. Ten years later, I allow him to leave with two thunder musket guns. Of course, during this period, my apprentice can teach musket technology and musketman training skills to the Ling family."

Ling Peng quickly pushed Ling Fei: "What are you waiting for in your brother?"

Ling Fei knelt down and kowtowed. Shi Chuan's eyes were green, and immediately changed his words and said, "Not enough, not enough... Oh, I mean the number of twenty or thirty boys is far from enough, not that you kowtowed enough. Fortunately, the chaos has not stopped now. Hurry up and write a letter to your family and ask them to recruit at least one hundred more people."

Hehe, I have free labor. I have to go to the teacher once and only let this guy train twenty or thirty people. It’s really a bargain. No, I have to rely on at least one hundred people. I, the coach of the Wuxiang Group, deserve my name...

Just as he was thinking, a guy dressed as a servant came in at the gate of the yard. The explosion just now scared the servant. He waited until the yard was calm before he dared to walk in. He kept his absolute vigilance while walking. When he saw him, he looked up and down, and quickly came over to salute, saying, "Is the official in Haizhou Chengxin Lang Shichuan?"

Shi Chuan just went to pay attention to the servant, but did not pay attention to Ling Fei's apprenticeship. Fortunately, he didn't care about the subtleties of these etiquettes, so he raised his hand and greeted Ling Fei first, and then asked the servant: "Who sent you?"

The servant bowed and replied: "The owner of the villain is Liu Xu and Liu Juren of Shuyang. He sent the villain to invite Chengxinlang to the banquet..."

Here comes the return on investment. It seems that Liu Xu still missed the crane buckle after returning home.
