Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 298 Craftsmanship leading the Mini bomb

The three women were a little competitive at first, but now that Sun Xin was really angry, they immediately calmed down, so Sun Xin asked everyone to sit together and eat, but all four of them were full, and the three pots of noodle soup were not finished.

Sun Xin didn't dare to push himself too far, and ran out of the house as if he was busy.
I ran to the supervisory committee, and as soon as I entered the room, I saw Lehe sitting in the meeting room, preparing materials for the meeting later. Sun Xin quickly asked him to help him build two houses in the village, one smaller and more elegant, and relying on She lives in her own yard, where Zeng Saihua and Sister Gu live.

Lehe was originally surprised that the meeting time they agreed was this afternoon, why Sun Xinda came in the morning, and when he heard his request, he thought for a moment before he understood it, and couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"In this case, you should hide in the conference room first."

"Farewell, our Sun Family Manor has a lot of guests this time, so I'll go to my father-in-law's place first."

Le He nodded, "It should."

Because of Sun Xin's disappearance, during this period, many people who co-founded the property with him found Sunjiazhuang, and most of them left after Sun Xin received a letter. The connection between Dulonggang and Sunjiazhuang is too close, so Hu The grandpa stayed, and yesterday he just had a quick meeting, so today he made a special trip to talk about it.

Sun Xin came out of the supervisory committee, and after a short walk, he came to the courtyard where the distinguished guests lived in the Sun Family Manor. When he entered, he met Taigong Hu standing in the small gazebo thinking about something.

After confirming that Sun Xin was safe, the stewards of the three villages of Dulonggang all went back to Dulonggang to take care of their own affairs, leaving only Hu Taigong, a lazy and capable man, staying in Sunjiazhuang. When Sun Xin came in, Hu Taigong quickly pointed out Pointing to the small stool in the pavilion, he said, "Sit."

He also called his servant to pour tea.

It didn't snow today, and although the weather was gloomy, it wasn't too cold. The two sat down in the pavilion, and Grandpa Hu couldn't wait to ask, "Are you done with your trip to the Kingdom of Jin?"

Sun Xin nodded, "We sold 400 million catties of hemp yarn. This is still the sales volume in the first quarter. In the second quarter, at least three to four million catties were sold. This year, there will be about 400 million catties."

Hearing this number, Taigong Hu took a deep breath. He knew that Sun Xin was great but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

Now the price of hemp yarn here in Dengzhou is four renminbi a catty. According to Sun Xin’s words, it can be sold for ten renminbi per catty when it is sent to the Kingdom of Jin. After excluding the shipping cost, Sun Xin’s tone just now can make a profit of three renminbi. .

Three coins per catty, 1000 catties is 3000 guan, and [-] million catties is [-] guan. Their annual income in Hujiazhuang is only more than [-] guan. The income from this trip alone is enough to earn ten Hujiazhuang.

"How can you sell so many?"

Sun Xin smiled and introduced to him in detail the current situation in the Kingdom of Jin and Wanyan Zonghan.

Then he explained the current situation in the Kingdom of Jin to Taigong Hu.

"It is a problem for the local people to dress, and there is a great demand for cheap linen yarn, and as the Liao and Jin wars continue, they are also hoarding a large amount of this strategic material."

"This year just started to make up for the gap in the market, so it's normal to have a larger sales volume."

Hu Taigong believed it after hearing it.

For Sun Xin to be able to make this business, Mr. Hu found that he was not surprised. He had already had high expectations for Sun Xin in his heart as he watched Sun Xin expand his family business so much.

Taigong Hu suddenly thought of his other two companions in Dulonggang. He had invested less than [-] shares in the hemp yarn factory in Zengtou City, Li Meizhuang. With such a high shipment volume, the hemp yarn factory can directly pay back its capital in one year, and the two families regretted it?
Thinking of the fact that they came to Shili Pai to look for Sun Xin before, and came back twice without success, they secretly gossiped a lot about Sun Xin when they went back, as if Sun Xin was going to lose the business this time, if Let them know how many catties of hemp yarn Sun Xin can sell in a year, and these people will have no place to cry when they regret it.

Hu Taigong suddenly felt extremely happy. Before he ran for Sun Xin on Dulonggang, he had suffered enough from the anger of other family members, and finally had such a chance to be proud. Think about how the two families felt when they heard the news. How surprised and happy in my heart.

After leaving Taigong Hu's place, Sun Xin returned to the supervisory committee.

Sun Xin has been able to solve the inventory problem and solve most of the things in the supervisory committee here.

In the past few days when Sun Xin went out, many cases were accumulated in the supervisory committee. Small things can be completed according to the rules and regulations, but big things still need to be handled by Sun Xin.

The first thing Sun found was the report typed by Luan Tingyu and Lu Zhishen, but Sun Xin saw that it was about the training of musketeers.

The last time I went to Liangshan for an expedition, more than 300 of the [-] soldiers died. For soldiers of this era, the casualties were extremely small. It was after the pensions for the sacrificed soldiers were confirmed that Shili Pai set off another small climax of enlistment.

In the past, the guards were selected by the peasants and soldiers in each village, which was somewhat compulsory, but now the selection of peasants and soldiers can be turned into a form of conscription within the scope of Dengzhou.

But at this time Luan Tingyu and Lu Zhishen discovered a problem.

A large number of new recruits joined the army. After everyone practiced the military training methods that they had studied before, they soon discovered that the training of Musketeers is too simple...

The two said that according to the experience summed up before, the second batch of musketeers will be trained much faster than before, and a group of capable musketeers can be trained within two months. The musket, except for the lack of battlefield experience, can basically reach the combat capability of the group of protection troops who went to Liangshan to fight.

As for that bit of battlefield experience, according to Luan Tingyu's words, "It can be fought within three tough battles."

This made both Luan Tingyu and Lu Zhishen a little vigilant, saying that if their muskets were to be exported, the threat to them would be too great.

Sun Xin couldn't help frowning as he flipped through the materials.

Although the policy of exporting muskets was proposed before, it has not been carried out on a large scale now. The muskets spread from Dengzhou will not be bought by the imperial court. The main buyers are some big families, and many of them are even out of The meaning of paying tribute to Sun Xin is that people generally don't think how powerful this musket is, or they don't understand how to play it at all.

Now the price of the musket is ten guan, which is twelve times the cost price. With this money, it is enough to make a good armor. Only Zengtou City bought fifty guns and equipped one. The Musketeers, and other outsourced purchases are less than [-] in total.

However, as the economic crisis in Dengzhou eases this time, once the productivity increases, the export of muskets will enter the fast channel.

The problem of losing technology generation gap is indeed worthy of attention.

Sun Xin touched his chin. He originally planned to sell only guns and not cannons. He thought it would not be a big problem, but this time he fought against Liangshan. His musketeers and the elite Liangshan bandits all scored a casualty ratio of one to ten. , so that Sun Xin had to pay attention to the power of his musket.

This ratio of ten to ten casualties is really delicious. If possible, who would not want to let such a beautiful record last longer.

Sun Xin said to the farmer next to him: "Go and ask Tang Long if he doesn't have time. If he is not busy, call him over."

It didn't take long to see Tang Long walking in from the outside, dressed in fireworks.

Seeing the report written by Luan Tingyu and Lu Zhishen in Sun Xin's hands, he said without asking, "The owner wants to ask about muskets, right?"

Sun Xin nodded: "How long do you think our muskets will be ahead of other places?"

Tang Long shook his head very pessimistically, "At most, we can lead by two years, and this is the case when others don't pay attention. If we really make a bigger name in this world, people will imitate deliberately, even if it is more For the cost of work, how can it not be possible to pile up materials at two or three times our price?"

This is also what Sun Xin was most afraid of before. This last and most primitive rifled gun does not have such a strong technical threshold. The most difficult step is the process of manufacturing a gun from scratch. Now a rifled gun Guns are already in front of people, and if they can't be made from scratch, can't they copy them?
The key point is that this thing is not difficult to copy. If they want to compete with Sun Xin in the export market, Sun Xin is confident that they will not be able to do it. After all, the cost of material research is not for nothing, but if people pursue a one-to-one imitation, That cost is really not very high.

Even if the gun is not durable, as long as it can fire ten bullets normally, it is enough to fight a war.

If you really run into such an opponent, it's pointless to defend yourself with your own gun.

Sun Xin took another look at the reports that Luan Tingyu and Lu Zhishen had typed up, and finally said to the expectant Tang Long, "Then let's develop the Yu-shaped bomb."

Tang Long, who had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, had a look of joy on his face.

Sun Xin had discussed the development trend of muskets with him before. Tang Long didn't know where Sun Xin got this information, but after thinking about it, he felt that Sun Xin's words were very reasonable.

The technological tree of muskets has to be climbed step by step. They have now gone through the stage of matchlock guns and muskets, equipped with standard flintlock rifles, and the next step is naturally miniature bullets.

Even if Sun Xin can make Thunderbolt with custom-loaded bullets, he doesn't have the technology to produce bullet casings. I don't think it will be counted on in the next few decades.

Even the study of the Minie bomb, after careful analysis by the two, found that it was a big pit no simpler than casting a bronze cannon.

"It took more than a thousand cannons to cast those cannons before. How much do you need for these bowl-shaped bullets?"

"The key is to experiment with the processing technology of the rifling. The bowl-shaped bullet fits too tightly with the rifling. With our current technology rifles, the rifling will disappear after a few rounds. It will take at least a thousand bullets to finalize the production."

Sun Xin nodded, and did not exceed his expectations, so he said: "You first calculate the estimated money, show it to me tomorrow, and then go to Lehe to approve it, don't be too wronged, just do it well .”

Tang Long's face was full of joy. He had wanted to study this thing for a long time, but Sun Xin was always shy and unwilling to give money, and now he finally agreed.

In addition to being grateful to Luan Tingyu and Lu Zhishen for such a report, Tang Long was even more curious. Although Lehe and Wu Song hesitated during the drink yesterday, it can be seen that Sun Xin must have made a lot of money by going out this time. less money.

They originally guessed that it was about seven or eight thousand guan.But now that more than 1000 pennies are approved in one click, the amount earned must be far more than seven or eight thousand!
