Chen Mu thought the rocket made by a blacksmith led a carpenter, and he thought it was OK.

The improved rocket flew to the left of the predetermined target with a sharp roar and three steps, and exploded on the side of the skinned scarecrow with a bang. The hole in the scarecrow's body showed that what Guan Yuangu said was true.

Extremely fast speed, convenient ignition, and terrifying killing, basically all the advantages of the Rockets that Chen Mu imagined.

There are many disadvantages.

Not counting the labor cost of one or four cents of silver, it is relatively expensive.

The shorter range can only be used to shoot flat or slightly adjust the angle, which limits the Rockets to be used for field short battles before they meet.

The inability to compare the accuracy of artillery at the same distance means that there is not enough quantity and effective combat power cannot be formed.

Various traits determine that this is just an auxiliary weapon to disrupt the front, kill and injure the enemy, and suppress morale, and supplement attack methods.

"Make a strap, it's called Xiaoqiar."

Chen Mu named his name lightly, as if a slightly weak name could give the improved Rockets a greater shock, but what he said next was shocking.

"Each small flag has two cylinders. Then build to ensure quality, first make twenty cylinders and forty arrows."

It is true that Xiaoqiu arrow is very powerful, but it has fatal disadvantages.

Chen Mu was born as a bird gunner. He knew what the lethality of the bird gun was. Eighty steps to 100 steps, which is the maximum range of the bird gun. It means that if his flag army wants to set rockets in front of the formation, it will enter the maximum range of the bird gunner.

But as far as he knows now, there may not be anyone in the entire Ming Dynasty who plays bird guns so well. This thing is specialized in fighting rebels and Japanese pirates!

As for the future - at worst, I will do the general flag arrow, the hundred household arrow, and the thousand household arrow!

General Banner Yamen.

"Chen Erlang, give me a craftsman and I want one!"

Deng Zilong couldn't help but see the small flag arrow exploded next to the scarecrow. He could not imagine that a weak rocket like a child could exert such great power in Chen Mu's hands!

Even when Chen Mu named the Rockets, he discovered Chen Mu's ambitions.

Five small flags under the general flag were equipped with two small flag arrows. The enemy charges in the battle, and ten small flag arrows in front of the formation opened their guns in a row. What's the scene?

The enemy's formation was directly cleared by ten steps!

"If Deng was still the leader, the archer in front of the formation had a small flag arrow, and only three arrows were fired, the enemy fired rockets nearly 100 steps, and led the formation to charge, and the rocket exploded and they ran away!" When talking about the war, Deng Zilong said it was extremely vigorous, and he waved in every move. "Thirty steps were all their backs, fifty quick guns were fired in a volley, and they were rushing over to level the ground!"

Chen Mu kept listening to Deng Zilong with a smile that he had seen Deng Zilong's tactics, so the picture sounded very touching at this moment, as if he saw Deng pacifying the general into the enemy formation and then being surrounded by the enemy's large forces.

Of course, if you want to surround a powerful general like Deng Zilong, the rebels used seven or eight times his troops to reach an encirclement.

After Deng Zilong finished speaking, Chen Mu smiled even more violently, raised three fingers and said, "Hello brothers, five liang."

"Huh?" Deng Zilong was stunned, "What five liang?"

Chen Mu smiled as if he was right, and the mercy came in just the right way, "Five taels of silver and one small flag arrow, and the silver goods are all over, and the old man will be free!"

"The craftsman can't give it to you, but the Rockets can still sell you."

Deng Zilong leaned against the table and leaned slightly, as if he had realized that Mr. Chen had such a profitable business side for the first time. He pointed at him and couldn't speak. After a while, he slapped the table and shouted: "You think Deng is stupid! I'm listening, the money is only one or two, you ask me for five taels, and you say he is a brother!"

"Did you hear it?"

Chen Mu's face was sunburned for a moment, and then put on a formulaic smile, and said with a finger: "Thirty liang, it can't be lowered anymore, and the labor of craftsmen can't be done in vain! If you pay thirty liang, Chen will give you another one, and eleven rockets will be waiting for you to send someone to Qianhu Station!"

Deng Zilong stopped talking. It was impossible for Chen Mu to give him the craftsman, and the Rockets were indeed too expensive.

After all, Deng Zilong was a general in the camp. Besides, even the guards, not everyone had Chen Mu's heart to build a self-propelled army.

Thirty taels can buy five-bedroom houses outside Guangzhou city. How could an officer sell his house to buy weapons for his own soldiers? In the entire Guangzhou Prefecture, only Bai Yuanjie and Chen Mu are willing to do this.

To put it bluntly, Chen Mu is a complete warlord style, but he himself did not notice it.

Take the land of the court and cultivate your own soldiers.

"You keep it for Deng. If you want to fight in the future, maybe Deng will come to you and buy rockets with his cruelty."

Chen Mu smiled and said nothing. He didn't want to make a fortune by selling rockets. He just simply used this to block Deng Zilong's words from wanting craftsmen.

Last time Shiqi reminded him that he should not do anything before the official position is settled. The current craftsmen are also preparing for the future. If the deputy Qianhu family is settled, these craftsmen will play a more important role in his hands.

For example - hydraulic forging hammers, flintlock rifles, glass kilns, and even smelting iron by yourself are all conceivable.

"Don't be discouraged, you are Deng Qianhu, and you will be rich soon!" Chen Mu smiled thief and said to Deng Zilong: "When the craftsman makes a few rockets, I will send you five for emergency use. Come on, I have something to ask you for help!"

When Deng Zilong heard Chen Mu say this, his rough face smiled happily, and he stood up happily and said, "What's the matter?"

"Come with me."

Chen Mu did not say it directly. When he entered the room, he laid a wide paper covering the table, and painted a simple mountain, river and river with charcoal pen on it. He drew the terrain near the sea of ​​Yuegang according to his memory. He said to Deng Zilong with his lamp: "You have fought a naval battle and have a lot of knowledge in Guangzhou Prefecture. If this was a harbor and wanted to build a Maritime Mansion Department, what would you think the harbor's market, camp, and defense would be done?"

Chen Mu showed his hand and asked Deng Zilong to draw.

On this map, most of the houses, land and houses that Chen Mu asked Shao Tingda to buy were located outside the city and near the sea. Others didn't know that Yuegang was going to open a port, so they just thought that he wanted to shine his family.

In fact, even if someone knows that Yuegang will be used as a switch, he still can't figure out Chen Mu's thoughts.

Chen Mu naturally had a way to make money by selling part of the land after the switch, but this was just one of them. For him, buying land was easy, and how to give out the land in his hand and give it meaningfully is the key.

For example, give a piece of land that is most suitable for port markets to Fujian Governor Tu Zemin.

The land deed was given to the government, and the map of Yuegang he drew and wrote by himself, what about the maritime affairs rules?
