The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

After that, the state-owned enterprises in Yuanqing were directly set up in the state-owned enterprises of Yuanqing.

By Ma housekeeper, personally led the position of the big manager of the southern Liaoning commercial bank.

As for the accounting room, Li Yuanqing has 20 accounts and Chen Zhong has 10 accounts.

Of course, the root of all this depends on Li Yuanqing. The cashier of Chen Zhong's side is just following the flow.

In the afternoon, Luzhong went back to Liaonan.

According to his discussion with Li Yuanqing, he still has some stocks in Guanglu Island, which must be counted out as soon as possible. Moreover, Mao Wenlong of PiDao is about to go to war, and Chen Zhong also needs to send someone to take over the inventory of Dongjiang generals. He can't help but split himself.

Li Yuanqing's trip to the north, coupled with the accumulation before Changsheng Island, also has a lot of inventory. We must count them out as soon as possible, classify them and ship them directly.

According to Li Yuanqing's plan, the imperial court should soon receive news of the reward for this trip.

At that time, Li Yuanqing will go directly to Dagukou and the capital with the cargo ship.

There is no big problem for Yang jiaoniang to sell the characteristic goods of Liao Dynasty in Beijing.

When the money arrives, Li Yuanqing goes directly to Zhangjiakou to settle accounts with Qu Mingrui and discusses the issue of maritime trade. When one line comes down, everything is on the track.

During this trip to the north, Changsheng camp gained a lot, not including all kinds of meat, gold and silver, and armor, but only the fur of various animals, which was not a small amount.

The horse housekeeper estimated that even if only half of the fur of beidixing was sold, the value would be more than 200000 Liang silver.

It's cold in the Liao Dynasty. For Li Yuanqing, the fur is also a treasure. After screening, if the quality is not good, he will sell it. If the quality is good, it will naturally be kept.

With the experience of this trip to the north, the Heilongjiang River Basin is like no fortification. Li Yuanqing wants to go and can go again at any time.

The specific affairs were assigned to Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper. Li Yuanqing also turned his attention to the military affairs.

With the development of Changsheng camp, everything has become more and more mature.

However, subject to the influence of the military system of the Ming Dynasty, many things were derived from the old framework of the military system of the Ming Dynasty. According to the ideology at that time, it was unrealistic to want to span several civilizations in a single cut, so Li Yuanqing had to do it slowly.

In addition to the training state of the children, Li Yuanqing is most concerned about the operation of the ordnance workshop.

The trip to the north also exposed many problems.

For example, under extreme conditions, the power of the blunderbuss is not enough, but the "grenade" also makes the craftsmen in the ordnance workshop open their minds and are completely exposed to a new thing.

In addition, the arrival of Joseph and the Western artillery brought more foreign knowledge to the ordnance workshop.

In such a situation, the force of Li Yuanqing's "sea calming needle" is becoming more and more important.

"Low rank, see general!"

Outside the weapons workshop, Li Yuanqing suddenly came over, and the guards fell to their knees and saluted respectfully.

Li Yuanqing smiles, "get up. This is a private visit. Don't disturb too many people. "

"Yes."

The soldiers stood up one after another and opened the door for Li Yuanqing.

The weapon workshop of Changsheng island is located on a hill more than two miles away from the west of the town. It covers an area of about forty or fifty acres. Surrounded by high fences and wire mesh, watchtowers one by one are hidden in the surrounding trees, just like poisonous snakes hidden in the trees, which makes people feel awed instinctively.

This is the top priority of Changsheng island. Its defense level is even higher than that of Li Yuanqing's official office.

At this time, it was the morning, it was a busy time, Li Yuanqing entered the gate, and then along the way to the mountains, looking at the surrounding scenery.

Today, Li Yuanqing only wears a soldier's robe. Although Niu Gensheng and seven or eight of his family members are guarding him, he can't see anything unusual without looking carefully.

After walking for a while, they soon came to a hall on the hillside. There were a lot of people outside. They were noisy. It seemed that they were quarrelling.

Niu Gensheng just wanted to ask, but Li Yuanqing waved his hand and quietly leaned over, leaning against the crowd.

Inside, Joseph and Xu Liang are arguing about something, quite some blush thick posture.

"Oh! God! You know what? Xu! If you use this method, each lead bullet will cost at least one silver coin. oh You're committing a crime, you know? Xu! "

Joseph glared at Xu Liang and held his head in a chagrin. He hated iron but not steel.

Xu Liang was not worried. He did not have much expression on his face. He looked at Joseph calmly and said, "Lord Joseph, according to your opinion, if you reduce the weight of lead by 10%, how can the rigidity of the lead bomb be guaranteed? What the general wants is lead bullets that can kill Tartars, lead bullets that can penetrate Tartars' armour, rather than shoddy Xibei goods! "Joseph couldn't help being more angry, "Xu! How can this be Xibei? This formula was used in our British Empire as early as ten years ago. How could something go wrong? Xu! If you don't believe it, let's have a comparison to see who said the effect is more obvious! Who holds the truth

Xu Liang nodded lightly, "then compare it. Lord Joseph

Each of them snorted coldly, beckoning each of his followers, and assumed the posture of a contest.

The people around quickly made way of the field, and brought some bullets and several shotguns.

Xu Liang said, "Lord Joseph, are you coming first or I coming first?"

Joseph said, "Xu! First, you, the host

Xu Liang was not polite. He took up the blunderbuss, lit the fire rope and pulled the trigger accurately at the target 70 paces away.

For a moment, there was a crackling sound, and the opposite target fell to the ground, causing a burst of applause around.

"It's you, Lord Joseph!" Xu Liang looked at Joseph provocatively.

Joseph shrugged, picked up the bird's blunderbuss, and quickly walked away from the process.

However, Li Yuanqing noticed that, unlike Xu Liang's focus, Joseph's movements were more accurate, although they were slightly loose. In particular, in the process of tamping lead bullets, he used more force than Xu Liang twice.

It can be seen that he must have undergone professional and strict training. This kind of thing has become an instinct and integrated into his bones.

For a moment, Joseph also lit the fire rope and pulled the trigger.

"Pa", a crisp sound, 70 steps away from the target also fell to the ground, soldiers rushed to take the target to compare.

At this time, Xu Liang also put down his contempt for Joseph. This foreign devil really has a good way.

Xu Liang's target is right in the chest, so is Joseph. However, Joseph's target seems to have a bigger wound.

Xu Liangming, the bird's blunderbuss are the same, but the only difference is their lead bullets.

But it was only a shot, and Xu Liang was not sure. He said, "Lord Joseph, can you compare with me again?"

Joseph was more confident in his heart and said with a smile, "Xu, I'd like to accompany you."

Soon, the two shot again. Without exception, Joseph's target was bigger than Xu Liang's.

Xu Liang's face was not good at this time. He could not imagine that the prescription handed down by several generations of his ancestors could not match the foreign devil.

However, Li Yuanqing had fully understood that Joseph's lead bomb was obviously more scientific than Xu Liang's.

The melting point of lead is very low. If it is heated slightly, it will deform.

If the projectile is not regular, it can be adjusted quickly by using the mold.

Because of the characteristics of lead, it has strong diffusibility and great lethality. Once the enemy is hit by a lead bullet, even if he can't die immediately, it is likely to cause lead poisoning and short life.

By this time, science and technology had been promoted to a certain extent. Great craftsmen like Xu Liang often had a formula to add some other substances to lead bombs to keep them rigid.

Now, obviously Joseph's side is better.

At this time, someone already saw Li Yuanqing, and he kowtowed and saluted, "general."

The crowd also responded and knelt down one after another, "general, general."

Li Yuanqing smiles and waves his hand, "everybody, get up. It's very busy here. "

Seeing Li Yuanqing come here in person, Joseph was very happy. He licked his face and said with a smile, "general, you are here. I was just having a competition with Mr. Xu, and I happened to ask you to check the results. "

With that, Joseph looked at Xu Liang with pride.

Xu Liang saluted Li Yuanqing in a hurry and said respectfully, "general, I am humble, but my skills are inferior to others. Please punish the general!"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "Xu Liang, how old are you? How can you be like a child? There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. On the road of science, there will never be an end. Who can say who will always lead? It's not terrible to lose. What's terrible is that if you lose, you don't understand why you lose? "

Xu Liang didn't understand that this was Li Yuanqing's care for him. He said respectfully: "the general taught me that I remember my humble duty."

Then he looked at Joseph, bowed down and said, "Lord Joseph, this time, you have won. But next time, you won't be so lucky. "

Joseph laughed, "OK. Xu! I'm always waiting for you to compete with me. However, the formula of this lead bomb will use mine! Ha ha

Xu Liang nodded, "I should be so!"

Joseph looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile, "distinguished general, this time the lead bomb uses my formula. Does that mean that I can have Xu's patent and get a reward?"

At this time, although Daming didn't have a patent, Li Yuanqing would not grudge the reward for new inventions in Changsheng camp, which was at least 100 Liang.Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, "of course, Sir Joseph, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. If you can make more improvements later, you will get double reward

Joseph couldn't help but be overjoyed. He simply danced and danced, "your noble general, your servant Joseph, would like to serve you with the most sincere heart!"

Joseph was rewarded and left. Li Yuanqing and Xu Liang sat down in the room beside him, and the soldiers offered tea.

Xu Liang sat on the side, looking as if he had not stepped out of his shadow.

Li Yuanqing a smile, "is the heart not happy?"

Xu Liang said, "general, I dare not be humble. However, I still don't understand why Joseph's lead content has been reduced, and the rigidity is more sufficient than that of the humble one. "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "so we should all learn more. Only by learning can we make progress. Only by learning can we learn more. Joseph came from the West and had a lot of knowledge. Although he was a little flashy, he still had some skills. He is your mirror

Xu Liang was stunned and immediately understood what Li Yuanqing meant. He was overjoyed and said, "general, I understand my humble duty! You can do better in a humble position! "

Li Yuanqing laughed and patted him on the shoulder! How could I possibly lose to these white haired ghosts? Xu Liang, in the development of shells, I am very optimistic about you! "

Xu Liang kowtowed to Li Yuanqing in a hurry and respectfully, "if you are humble, you will die to serve the general!"
