Chapter 197 Open Source

"My lord, I think if what we brought was not a tiger crouching cannon, but a light artillery, then those sword and shield fighters would not dare to stop us." An officer said.One of the places where they failed the most this time was the confrontation with the sword and shield hand.Moreover, the place with the highest number of casualties is also there.It can be said that in this battle against the rebels, the failure of the first brigade was the worst.

"It's impossible. We're on the mountain road, so we can't bring artillery with us." Another officer said immediately.You must know that it is a mountain road, and it is impossible for the artillery to go up.Unless it takes a lot of effort to carry it by manpower, but that will seriously slow down the marching speed of the army.

"I'm just setting it up. If we have that kind of portable artillery, it will be fine." The officer said.

Speaking of this portable artillery, Lin Feng naturally thought of the mortars of later generations, but Lin Feng gave up as soon as he thought about it, because it is not something that can be manufactured now.Moreover, Lin Feng didn't know much about mortars.There is no way to make any suggestions.

However, mortars are not good, but Lin Feng knows another kind of grenade.This shouldn't be too difficult a job.As long as you put in a little effort, it shouldn't be difficult to manufacture.If you encounter a situation like the Sword and Shield Hand next time, you can use a grenade to solve this problem.

"Well, I have an idea." As Lin Feng said, he gave a general idea of ​​the grenade.

After hearing Lin Feng's idea, all the generals were a little dumbfounded: Can it still be like this?They didn't even dare to think about the existence of such things as grenades. If there were grenades, why would they need artillery?Just throw the grenade directly.

Lin Feng smiled, but said that each has its own use.No way, how to explain this?Moreover, the grenade is thrown out by manpower, and it can only kill the enemy at close range. It is completely impossible to kill the enemy at a long distance like artillery.

"My lord, when will the grenade you mentioned be produced?" Danny couldn't help asking.As a veteran, Danny naturally knows the importance of this kind of grenade. If this kind of thing can really be produced, then for the first brigade, their combat effectiveness will definitely have a qualitative leap.It can be regarded as a shotgun change.

"This, I don't know either. After I go back, I will discuss this matter with the craftsmen. I think this thing should not be difficult to make." Lin Feng said.After all, these things have to be done by craftsmen, and Lin Feng doesn't have the ability to make them.Although he knows a lot, he doesn't have any actual combat experience. In terms of hands-on ability, Lin Feng is not good enough, so he can only rely on craftsmen.

"My lord, if possible, I hope the sooner the better." Danny said to Lin Feng.

"Don't worry, as long as there are results, I will notify you as soon as possible." Lin Feng said to Danny: "It's getting late now, you should go to rest early, and I will go back too."

"My lord, it's so late..." Danny looked at the sky outside, it's not so late.

"It's okay, I'll go back overnight, there are still many things to do tomorrow." Lin Feng said.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng went to Tom's place and explained to him about the grenade.After Tom heard about it, he made it clear that it could be made, but he couldn't do it if he pulled the string to explode, but he could make a fuse, ignite it and throw it out to explode.

Lin Feng also knew that it was very difficult to make such a modern weapon, so he asked Tom to get out the weapons he could make first, and then make a decision after he had seen it.

By the way, I took a look at the production of guns, and Lin Feng was very satisfied.It seems that there is money, and the speed of these craftsmen is very fast.And they are very serious.Lin Feng randomly picked out a few muskets and checked them. The results were very good, and Lin Feng was very satisfied.

However, the only shortcoming now is that the number of craftsmen is too small.Although the general supervisor has tried his best to train manpower, it is still relatively insufficient.The notch is too big.Regarding this, Lin Feng had no choice.

Even if he was given tens of thousands of craftsmen now, he would not dare to start production with all his strength.The reason is simple: he doesn't have that much money.Now there are many places in Jiangnan that need money, and Lin Feng can't make ends meet just by relying on such a small tax.Fortunately, Li Wenyuan is also a qualified housekeeper. He not only helps Lin Feng save money, but also helps Lin Feng find ways to get money. Just like this, Lin Feng can also know that Jiangnan's finances are stretched.

"It's not enough to save money, you have to increase your income." This is what Lin Feng said when he left Tom's workshop.

It's not easy to find a way to make money.There are so many shrewd businessmen in Jiangnan, if there is a way to make money, it will be Lin Feng's turn.Others, some well-known ways to make money, but Lin Feng can't intervene, such as salt roads, such as water transportation.

The water transportation is managed by the governor of the water transportation, and the salt road has the salt road yamen.And Lin Feng also knew that now was not the time to turn against the behemoth Yandao Yamen.As for the water transportation, Lin Feng can intervene and ask for some dividends, but this cannot solve the fundamental crisis, and other methods need to be found.

Lin Feng thought about things all the way, and he didn't even hear someone calling him.It was Niu Jin who was beside him and reminded: "My lord, Shen Lingfeng is calling you."

"Shen Lingfeng, why is he looking for me?" Lin Feng said, raising his head, only to realize that he was walking on the street.It turned out that I was too absorbed in thinking about things just now, and didn't notice that I was walking on the street.What else did Lin Feng say?Why did Shen Lingfeng come to find him?It turned out that we met on the street.

"Cao Min pays my respects to your lord." Shen Lingfeng said, and was about to kneel down.Lin Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help Shen Lingfeng up, and said, "Member Shen, please get up."

"It's rare to meet an adult. I don't know if the adult can show his face and have a cup of tea together?" Shen Lingfeng looked at Lin Feng and said.Originally, Lin Feng didn't want to go, but thinking about it was nothing, just to soothe his tense nerves, so he said: "Then I will trouble Mr. Shen."

"My lord, please come inside." As Shen Lingfeng said, he led Lin Feng towards the teahouse.

The tea doctor in the teahouse obviously knew Shen Lingfeng. As soon as Shen Lingfeng entered, the tea doctor immediately greeted him and asked, "Mr. Shen, what would you like to drink today? Biluochun?"

"No, order me some Dahongpao today, from the mother tree." Shen Linfeng said to Dr. Cha, although there are many kinds of Dahongpao, such as the ones that were paid tribute to the imperial court.But the real Dahongpao is only the one that grows on the mother tree.Others are not pure Dahongpao.Therefore, this Dahongpao is also extremely expensive.

Hearing what Shen Lingfeng said, Dr. Cha was stunned for a moment: Is the sun coming out from the west today?Shen Yuanwai, who has always been stingy, actually wants to get Dahongpao, which is the most expensive.And because the owner of the teahouse is not too close, the portion obtained is naturally small, so the price is outrageously expensive.Except for those very rich prodigal brothers who come to order, other people don't know how to drink Dahongpao.

Seeing that Dr. Cha was in a daze, Shen Lingfeng was a little annoyed, and said, "Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and find us a quieter private room."

"Excuse me, member Shen." Dr. Cha said, and led Shen Linfeng upstairs.Lin Feng glanced at Niu Jin and said, "You guys just wait for me downstairs." After speaking, he followed up.

After Dr. Cha brought Shen Lingfeng and Lin Feng to a secluded place, he went to prepare the Dahongpao.One must know that the Dahongpao is extremely expensive, and the process of making tea is naturally extremely complicated.Even appreciating Dr. Tea making tea is also a kind of enjoyment.

Picking up the tea brewed by Dr. Tea, Lin Feng imitated Shen Lingfeng and smelled it. Not to mention, there was a very special fragrance.It seems that making tea is indeed a technical task.It's not okay to make casual bubbles by yourself.

Shen Lingfeng glanced at Lin Feng, then looked at Dr. Cha, and said, "You go out first, I will call you if something happens."

"Take it easy, both of you." Dr. Tea said, walked out, and closed the door by the way.

Looking at Lin Feng, Shen Lingfeng asked: "Caomin seems to have something bothering you, I wonder if Caomin can help you?"

"This..." Just when Lin Feng was about to say that Shen Lingfeng couldn't help, he suddenly thought that Shen Linfeng was not a businessman?Maybe he really can help.

So, Lin Feng said: "It's like this. Recently, various places need to spend money, and I can't change the money by myself. Naturally, I am worried."

As soon as he heard that it was about money, Shen Lingfeng immediately became vigilant.Just kidding, this is also borrowed by Lin Feng for a hundred and eighty thousand, he still can't sleep because of the distress every day.

"This... this Caomin wants to help, but Caomin can't do what he wants. He has more energy than he wants." Shen Lingfeng said hastily. If Lin Feng asked him to borrow money, Shen Lingfeng would have to slap himself two big mouths when he went back. Originally, he thought It was a close match with Lin Feng, asking him to exempt himself from taxes for a few more years, but unexpectedly encountered such a thing.

"I know, Yuanwai Shen really can't solve this matter." Lin Feng said.Just borrowing money everywhere is definitely not going to work, you have to think of other ways, otherwise, sooner or later there will still be a financial crisis.There must be a way to open source.

After the two chatted blindly for a while, Lin Feng asked, "I wonder if Mr. Shen knows any way to make money?"

"To make money, the grassroots know that this is the way to do business, but the money comes in slowly. And the profit is not high. I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve the crisis of adults." Shen Lingfeng said.Naturally, he didn't want Lin Feng to participate, otherwise how could he, Shen Lingfeng, a small man, beat Lin Feng?In that case, wouldn't it make him start drinking northwest wind?
Nodding his head, Lin Feng quite agrees.The profits of businesses like Shen Lingfeng's are not very satisfactory.At least not up to Lin Feng's expectations. "Then I don't know if there is any business with higher profits?"

"This... Caomin dare not say it." Shen Lingfeng looked at Lin Feng and said.The so-called high-profit business is illegal.Otherwise, what is the high profit?Salt smuggled for profit.If you catch it, you will be killed.

"Let's talk, there's nothing we can't say between you. Just say it like that, and I'll let you go." Lin Feng said to Shen Lingfeng.

Looking at Lin Feng, Shen Linfeng was also thinking about it.If Lin Feng really did business, he would definitely not come forward in person, so could he take over this matter?In that case, it would not only be a question of wealth, but also his own status would have to be improved a lot.

"My lord, the grass-roots people just said it." Shen Lingfeng looked at Lin Feng and said, "This salt is a profitable business. The salt bought from the salt farm is only a few taels of silver per load, but after it is sold, at least a dozen or so With an income of two, the profit is visible. And if we don’t add sand to the salt like the Yandao Yamen, then our salt sales will definitely be very good.”

"This..." Lin Feng hesitated a little. What Shen Lingfeng said was indeed a way to make money, but in this way, he would have to completely turn against the Yandao Yamen. Now the matter of the Fire Lotus Sect has not been resolved yet?Lin Feng didn't want to fall out with Yandao Yamen again.

"My lord, you are the governor of the three provinces, are you afraid of a small Yandao yamen?" Seeing Lin Feng hesitate, Shen Lingfeng continued.If he can cooperate with Lin Feng to sell salt, his income can be doubled several times a year.With so much money, can Shen Lingfeng not be tempted?
"The governor of the three provinces also has the difficulty of the governor of the three provinces." Lin Feng said helplessly: "Is there any other way to make money? Do you make a lot of money by doing business with some merchants in Nanyang? Remember that our silk is still very popular elsewhere. .”
