The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 126 Two Methods
That's right, the Lumi gun he brought needs to be replaced because it has been fired too many times.

According to Li Zhongyi, usually the Lumi blunderbuss are switched to the back, that is, the side closer to the handle.

Zhou Dahu nodded: "The quality of this gun is pretty good, and it's pretty good. Can it fire twenty rounds?"

Ding Yi was overjoyed. This person said that he did a good job, which proved that his level is better. He nodded and said, "It's almost the same."

Zhou Dahu rolled his eyes: "I have two ways to change the gun barrel, which one do you think you want?"

"These two kinds?" Ding Yi asked with staring eyes.

"The first way is to change the half of the gunpowder at the back. This is more troublesome. You have to cut it off first, and then install the second half. It takes two days and the cash is one or two or eight dollars."

"So expensive?" Zhao Dashan shouted.

"What's the price?" Zhou Dahu said angrily, "You get what you pay for, how many people in Daming are like me? I promise you can shoot thirty rounds."

Ding Yi was happy in his heart, not expensive or expensive, he seemed a little dissatisfied: "Then what about the second type."

"I changed all the gun barrels together. It only takes one day, and the cashier is two or four dollars."

"Damn it, this one is more expensive." Zhao Dashan yelled again.

Zhou Dahu looked at him coldly: "I have forty rounds in this pack."

Ding Yi was overjoyed: "I want the latter, the latter."

"For you know the goods." Zhou Dahu grinned, and happily went in with the blunderbuss.

Halfway through the walk, I remembered: "Come and get it at this time tomorrow."

Wei Jiye said at this time: "Can we go in and have a look?"

"Of course not." Zhou Dahu said, and slammed the door shut.

"Let's go." Ding Yi was very happy, turned around and took everyone away: "Come back tomorrow."

Everyone went back to the street, stayed in an inn near their home, and then sent Zhao Dashan and Wei Jiye out with a few soldiers to inquire about the news.

Later, everyone came back one after another.

Yueqing has a small population, only 3 to [-] people in this era, so it is a small county.

When Zhao Shizhen was there, because the Zhao family took the lead, many people in the city participated in making firearms. Later, the country ran out of money, and the quality of firearms became worse and worse.

At present, besides Zhou Dahu, Le still has four iron shops, and all of them used to be able to make firearms, but currently they mainly focus on blacksmithing.

Ding Yi immediately asked them to go out again, and got all four of them to Lushun.

Ding Yi's bid was also quite high. Each craftsman paid three taels of silver a month. If the skills were good, the head of the craftsman could get five taels of silver, and the family members, women and children would provide grain and rice every month.

These four families are all traditional blacksmiths. The sons have inherited the father's business for many years, and there are sons in the family who can do it.

Two of them had two or three sons who were also blacksmiths.

The other party did the math after hearing it. The old father brought two sons, and a family of three could get nine taels of silver. , child, these days, I want to fly.

If the family has a large population, they can get nearly 20 taels of silver a month in net income.

And in Yueqing, they earn three taels of silver a month, excluding expenses, how much money can they save to buy grain and rice?
It's completely the treatment of heaven and earth, and there are more than two families who nodded without hesitation.

Another family member with a small family quickly agreed after thinking about it.

There was another family where the male lead was not happy, but Zhao Dashan gave the money to his wife after looking at the scene, and the wife finally persuaded him after scolding him.

The four families were moved to the boat that night.

Wei Jiye was very excited when he came back, and told Ding Yi: "That family has a lot of people. An old craftsman named Wang You'an once worked in the Ministry of Industry. He also followed Zhao Shizhen with Zhou Dahu's father. He was still an elementary school apprentice."

"But he said he could also make cannon."

"Okay, mother's good." Ding Yi patted his thigh and shouted excitedly.

After searching for so long, I finally found a person who can make cannons.

After noon the next day, several people came to Zhou Dahu's house again, about two hours earlier than yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Dahu was already waiting. When he saw them entering the backyard, he immediately took out the Lumi gun.

"Okay, do you want to try it?"

Ding Yi hurriedly took it over, mother-in-law, his heart was ecstatic when he saw it.

This Lumi gun seems to be much lighter than the previous one, and it looks good.

Because his gun barrel is one piece, it doesn't seem to be stitched together.

"The length of the gun barrel is the same as yours before, but I said, the longer the gun barrel, the stronger the range and power. I don't know why you want to be so short?" Zhou Dahu thought for a while: "Unless you improve the gunpowder, it will be better." Can."

This motherfucker is a talent, and Ding Yi likes it more and more.

"Did you drill out the gun barrel?" Ding Yi asked in disbelief.

"My lord has eyesight, haha." Zhou Dahu actually called Mr. Ding Yi, and it was obvious that he was an official.

But he is not afraid, he is not in awe like ordinary people.

"Damn it, how did you get out?" Zhao Dashan exclaimed.

Zhou Dahu raised his head, naturally he didn't say much.

"Ten taels of silver a month, come with me." Ding Yi said happily, "I've taken a fancy to you."

"Ten taels." Zhou Dahu stared, a little moved.

But he immediately rolled his eyes: "No, I'm afraid my wife won't agree."

"15 taels, including your mother-in-law's family, packed them up and took them away." Ding Yi said immediately.

"15 taels." Zhou Dahu's eyes widened.

Gudong, he swallowed, and finally asked, "Where are you going?"

"Lushun, Dongjiang Army."

"So far? Or Jiannu?" Zhou Dahu shook his head immediately: "No, no, I don't want to die yet."

"If you don't go, you'll die now." Zhao Dashan put one hand on the knife at his waist with a cold face.

Hiss, Zhou Dahu took half a step back in fright.

"What are you doing, don't scare Master Zhou." Ding Yi glared at Zhao Dashan angrily, then turned to look at Zhou Dahu.

Suddenly, Ding Yi cupped his fists and bowed to salute Zhou Dahu.

"General." Zhao Dashan and others shouted.

After all, in this era, no one has ever seen an official salute a craftsman.

Is it a general?Zhou Dahu was also taken aback. Seeing that Ding Yi was young, he probably was a small banner or something, but he didn't expect it to be a general, so he was in a hurry: "General, please don't do it, don't do it." His face turned red, and he didn't know Be nervous or scared.

Ding Yi said in a deep voice: "In these years, Jiannu rose up and invaded Ming Dynasty with barbarism and big swords. Liaodong lost thousands of miles, and people were killed and injured everywhere. Millions of Liao people died tragically under Jiannu's sword and iron cavalry."

"Although Ding Yi is young, he dare not forget his father's will, join the army to serve the country, and vow to kill the slaves."

"Master Zhou, I, Ding Yi, assure you that even if my Lushun army dies to the last person, I will never put you and your family in danger."

"We also came here by boat from Lushun. When this time really comes, we will let you and your family go by boat."

Zhao Dashan was moved when he heard this, and finally he clasped his fists in salute: "I admit my mistake to Master Zhou, and I beg Master Zhou to come to Lushun for the people of Ming Dynasty and the army and people of Liaodong."

All the soldiers hugged and saluted one after another.
