Liu Jun was very hard to promote his flying dragon gun. However, what he said was mostly facts, not boasting. There is a disadvantage of cutting corners in the official workshop today, which is layer by layer, resulting in the firearms made by the craftsmen in the end.

In theory, the gun barrels in this era can reach a lifespan of 200 rounds. But in fact, the gun barrels in those workshops can reach a lifespan of 100 rounds are already considered to be produced with conscience. Most muskets only have about 80 rounds, and some are extremely cutting corners, and even the gun barrels only have thirty or fifty rounds.

Even if such a musket is sold for only two taels of silver, few people are willing to buy it. The barrel of the gun is too thin and not round enough, so it is very easy to deform and explode.

A musketman, without a live ammunition training of about 100 rounds, cannot master the musket, let alone master the musket shooting. However, many muskets bought by the official army cannot even support the training intensity. If they fail to hit a hundred rounds, the musket will be scrapped, and they may even be afraid that they will explode after more than ten or twenty rounds.

In addition to approving the muskets' distrust of the muskets, such muskets also greatly increase the equipment costs.

Liu Jun's firearm workshop has now expanded several times, and its scale is larger and larger every time. Through the split and folding process and unified standards, the firearm workshop now performs flow operations. The master leads ordinary craftsmen, ordinary craftsmen leads several university apprentices, and college apprentices leads several junior apprentices, and then equips with many ordinary workers. The effectiveness of the firearm workshop is greatly enhanced.

The drilling process that used to restrict the manufacturing of muskets was now improved and the method of changing the gun beds for three shifts without changing the gun beds, it turned out that drilling a gun barrel would take one month, but now it only takes five days. The drilling workshop of the firearm workshop already has thousands of workers and hundreds of gun beds.

The drilling workshop can now produce three thousand gun barrels every month.

Liu Jun kept expanding the firearms workshop and invested a lot of manpower and financial resources. Now the firearms workshop can achieve self-sufficiency of the Jiutou Bird and can even be exported.

Now Liu Jun hopes to find more orders. Although the production of firearms seems troublesome, when it comes to scale, it is actually relatively simple. As long as you can get the original village materials, with the current Jiutou Niao's firearm shop, you can produce 3,000 flying dragon guns, more fixed ammunition, and many fire thunders every month.

If Liu Jun had not started to transfer a lot of manpower to develop and manufacture artillery and thunder, the firearms workshop would have already exceeded the scale of 3,000 muskets per month.

"You have seen the effect of our flying dragon gun. We use the best Fujian iron and then refined. Ten kilograms of Fujian iron are refined into one kilogram of fine iron. After dozens of processes, our muskets have another great advantage. All parts are produced in standardized form. That is to say, the diameter of our gun barrel can be consistent in size. With the lead ammunition we also produce standardized, you don't have to worry about the problem of the incompatibility of lead medicine and muskets. And you are also an expert. You know that the advantage of this standardized gun barrel and ammunition is that the accuracy is greatly improved."

"There is another example. The barrel of our Feilong Gun has been made of multiple advanced techniques, which makes our barrel now reach a lifespan of 500 rounds. You heard it right. Five hundred rounds can be fired without any pressure. Even if you maintain it properly, it is probably not a problem to hit 600 rounds."

"Think about it, if you buy those two taels of muskets, you will be lucky enough to be thirty or fifty, but if you are not lucky enough to be thirty or fifty, you will be blown up if you are not lucky enough to be blown up. If you buy our flying dragon gun, you will never worry about the blowdown. The lifespan of the 500-round gun barrel is like a fake. This is not just a matter of dozens of extra shots, but it also means that your original musket may be scrapped before a battle is finished. Our muskets can at least persist in high-intensity battles, and even a year of battle is fine."

"What's more, you've seen our flying dragon gun with a self-opening door cover, and the wide butt stock can be used to shoot with the shoulders, making it more accurate. The rear parts are more sophisticated and airtight. Don't worry that the shooter will hurt his eyes."

"There is another point. Our Lumi gun is four feet five long and weighs six kilograms, which is light and convenient. We also have a special design that can install a three-foot flat gun sword on the gun barrel. When the battle is about to be fought, if the enemy is close behind, they can directly hold the gun and fight the enemy with their guns, using the gun as a short spear, which enhances the close combat ability of the musketeers."

Zhu Chong kept nodding, and whenever Liu Jun said the same thing, he nodded in a hurry. In fact, he had verified all of what Liu Jun said. Last time when Huang An separated, Liu Jun gave him a flying dragon gun. After he went back, he carefully tried it and found that the gun was really powerful, so this time he came to order a batch of equipment for his servants.

"How much does it cost?" Zhu Chong couldn't help asking.

Liu Jun smiled slightly, and Zhu Chong asked directly about the price. This purchase is very powerful.

"It is not an exaggeration to call such a sharp firearm a magic weapon. Brother Zhu, how much do you think such a firearm is worth?"

Zhu Chong hummed but couldn't speak. It was inevitable that such a gun would be priced higher, and then he was the buyer himself, so he couldn't start the price first.

"We are all acquaintances, so I'll give you an affordable price." Liu Jun said with a smile, "For thirty taels of silver, we will also receive a three-foot fine iron gun and sword, with a fixed charge of 600 rounds and a bullet bag. The ones are provided with fixed charge of paper bullets, with a quantity of 600 rounds, so that after you buy our Flying Dragon Gun, you won't have to spend extra money to buy ammunition."

"Thirty taels!" Zhu Chong almost jumped up. This is too expensive. An ordinary musket is only 2 taels per person, which is fifteen times the price.

"You get what you pay for. Don't think it's a bit expensive, but the six hundred fixed-load bullets and the gun sword we give you are worth ten taels of silver. Besides, it's not an exaggeration to be a Lumi gun for one or ten ordinary muskets. You know, during the battle, your musket explodes, not only will the musket be destroyed, but your musket also hurts your gunman, and you will directly reduce one person. Calculate carefully, buying a flying dragon gun will only make a profit but not lose money."

"It's a little more expensive, it's a little more expensive." Zhu Chong bit her and didn't let go.

Liu Jun smiled and said, "Brother, you have to buy the flying dragon gun for your servant team. That's your elite, and you rely on these people to support the store. To put it bluntly, you have to rely on them to save your life at critical moments. Do you hope that your servant will be injured by a rotten gun or cannot be shot at critical moments, and you can't even make sure it is? If you can't bear to spend money, then what else do you buy? You don't even need to buy your ordinary bird gun. Just cut a few bamboos to make bamboo guns? To put it bluntly, don't you hope that after they equipped these equipment, they can play a role at critical moments, right?"

"It really can't be missed?" Zhu Chong was moved by the words.

"Brother, we are all acquaintances. I said that what I gave you was a real price."

"Then I'll buy a hundred, can I give me some discounts?"

Liu Jun couldn't help but want to laugh. Fatty Zhu was really the case, but thinking about the ordinary and sophisticated version of the bird gun he bought at the beginning, it cost 20 taels per piece, and then he knew that the profit in the firearm industry was really very high. He offered 30 taels, and except for the delivery, the rest was only about 20 taels per piece.

Liu Jun has long calculated the cost of the new flying dragon gun. In addition to the accompanying gun swords and ammunition, a flying dragon gun costs about five taels, which is indeed much more expensive than an ordinary bird gun with a factory price of only two taels, but the quality and effect are not comparable to ordinary bird guns.

The cost of five taels, plus the accessories is about seven taels, if it is far away, plus logistics and distribution, you may get eight taels of silver. The price is 30 taels, and the profit reaches more than 300%. The profit is indeed high, but this is also a special industry, and the entry threshold is relatively high.

Liu Jun said that he didn't cheat Fatty Zhu, which is indeed the truth.

"Let's do this. If you have 100 flying dragon guns plus the delivery gun swords and ammunition, you will charge 3,000 taels of silver. I'll give you a 10,000 yuan discount. If we are brothers, how about I'll give you another 10,000 yuan to load paper bullets?"

Fatty Zhu wanted to get some more discounts, but Liu Jun couldn't let go and had to agree. In the end, he wanted to buy cannons, but Liu Jun didn't have any stock.

Jiutou Bird is going to expand this time, and Liu Jun is preparing to equip his Jiutou Bird Camp with more artillery fire, and he must first satisfy himself.

"It may take a month, and there will be stock in a month, so you have to pay a deposit first. In a month, we will not only have tiger squat cannons, but also tiger-killing cannons, and even if you want a small trumpet Folang machine, it is not a problem."

Jiutou Niao’s firearm has opened a new artillery workshop, and three of them were opened as soon as they were opened, namely the Tiger Squat Cannon Workshop, the Milu Cannon Workshop, and a Folang Machine Cannon Workshop. Although they are only small cannons worth dozens to hundreds of kilograms that have been studied and manufactured for the time being, they are considered to be a good development speed.

For the time being, Jiutou's own firearms can not produce large-sized Franchise machines and more powerful Red Cannons.

However, Xiong Wencan was still good to Liu Jun. Not only did he promote Liu Jun to garrison, he gave him three thousand troops, but he even agreed to draw Liu Jun a batch of firearms and horses, food, grass and military pay. Among them, there were three red cannons. Although he had not seen anything yet, Liu Jun believed that Xiong Wencan could not fool him completely, and he had to fulfill some of it. In addition, he had officially reached an agreement with Mei Zhihuan.

Mei Zhihuan ordered a thousand new flying dragon guns from Jiutou, while Jiutou ordered two 3,800 kilograms of red cannons from Guangdong through Mei Zhihuan. General Shenwei and several kilograms of Folang cannons from Guangdong.

These days, Zhu Chong is no longer the first person to be sold by Liu Jun himself, nor is he the first customer to reach an agreement with Liu Jun. In just a few days, Liu Jun signed long-term contracts with Mei Zhihuan, Zhu Chong and many other customers, selling nearly 3,000 flying dragon guns, hundreds of tiger squats and destroying the enemy.

With the deposit alone, Liu Jun received tens of thousands of taels.
