Chapter 175 Self-generating fire gun

Liu Tianyu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Now our relationship is everywhere in Taiyuan, Datong, and many people rely on our wealth. Even if a governor wants to move us, it will not be that easy."

"Owner, good news, good news."

At this moment, Lao Tietou's thick voice came from the yard, with joy in his voice.

Liu Tianyu stood up and greeted him, smiling and said, "Old Tieto, it's hard for you to get me here. If you don't bring any good news this time, you must go to my study every day from now on to have tea and chat with me."

Because of the fact that I was deceived up the mountain, Lao Tietou always had a knot in his heart. He never came to the Wang family compound when he was fine, but only stayed in his own workshop area.

Lao Tietou was embarrassed at first, and then said excitedly: "Master, this time is really good news. The self-generated musket that the boss mentioned last time has been developed in the workshop."

"What?" Liu Tianyu exclaimed, then pulled up Lao Tie's head, "Go, take me to see."

The workshop in Wangjiazhuang is not far outside the Wangjia Courtyard. After walking a few steps, I came to the workshop.

There is a shooting range near the edge of the workshop, which is usually used for inspection of muskets and cannons.

There were several people standing on the shooting range, two of which were deeply impressed by Liu Tianyu. They were craftsmen he specially came from the Qing Military Hall.

"Master, the musket you mentioned is made by Lao Chen and his apprentice." Lao Tie Tou introduced the craftsman from the Qing Military Hall to Liu Tianyu.

Liu Tianyu nodded and asked, "Where is the self-produced musket? Take it over and I'll take it."

Old Chen walked up with a musket and handed it to Liu Tianyu.

Before he could get it, Liu Tianyu had already recognized it. This was the flint rifle he had seen before, and it was also a self-generated musket.

"What is the success rate of ignition?"

Old Chen was a little afraid to look at Liu Tianyu, and lowered his head and said, "The ignition rate is not high, only about 40% to 50%.

"It's still too low, at least 70% can be used by the bodyguards, but it's not bad now. As long as the things are developed and improved in the future, the success rate of ignition will become higher and higher." Liu Tianyu praised, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.

Then, he turned around and said to Lao Tietou next to him: "Old Chen and his apprentice have developed their own fire guns, and rewarded them with one thousand taels of silver and five hundred taels of silver respectively, and then give Lao Chen a yard."

When Old Chen heard this reward, he quickly took his apprentice to kneel on the ground and kowtow to thank him.

Liu Tianyu helped the two of them up and said, "I can't kowtow here. If you really want to thank me, then increase the fire rate of the self-generated musket and let it equip our corpses sooner."

"Yes, my subordinates will definitely live up to the kindness of the boss and increase the success rate of ignition one day as soon as possible."

Old Chen was so grateful that he had tears in his eyes.

When I was in the Qing Military Hall, the family couldn't even have enough food to eat, and both of the children in the family were starved to death. Now that I came to Guangji, I have enough food every day, and the family's face was bloody, and there were four taels of silver wages every month, which was something I didn't dare to think about when I was in the Qing Military Hall.

Now that he has developed a self-generated musket, he will be rewarded with a reward of 1,000 taels at once, and there is a house. He feels like he is dreaming.

Lao Tietou patted Lao Chen's shoulder and said with a smile: "As long as you increase the success rate of firearms, the boss will reward you with another sum of money."

Compared to the lack of attention to craftsmen in other places, Lao Tietou knew how much Liu Dongzhu valued them, these craftsmen. The last time he developed four cars, he received a reward of 500 taels of silver.

With his work in the blacksmith shop in Guangling County, even if he worked for ten years, he might not be able to earn this five hundred taels of silver.

Old Chen was born dull and could not say anything, but nodded heavily.

After returning from the workshop, Liu Tianyu went to the silver warehouse in Guangling County and met the warehouse managers of each warehouse.

The supervisor of the silver treasury is Yang Hongqiu. He is a man under Chen Sishui on the mountain. He has average abilities, but he is trustworthy. There will be no major problems when he stays in the silver treasury.

The people below are also used by the corpses and the counterfeiters. The rules are the strictest. Even if Liu Tianyu comes to the bank deposit, he needs to report it.

The bank deposit must be stored every month, and it is not enough to lose one ingot of silver. Both the books and accounts must be approved, and there must be no deviation.

Xiao Wu accompanied Liu Tianyu and sneered: "This place is so strict, and there are still people who want to make money. Last month, last month, they found out who they wanted to take with them."

Wang Dafu asked casually, "How did those people do later?"

"The bodies floated out of the river, and they probably have been burned out long ago."

"It's really a man who died for money, and he didn't even want his life for money."

Yang Hongqiu was holding the account book in his hand, with a little embarrassed face. He was the one who was in charge of his death. It was a bit embarrassing to be said to him in person.

Liu Tianyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I won't mention this matter, Hong Qiu, you continue to talk about it."

Yang Hongqiu held the account book and introduced in detail the bank treasury and the money sent by the mule and horse train. Although he was not capable, he still remembered some of the numbers in the account book.

After checking in a few banknotes, Liu Tianyu said to Xiaowu: "The grain purchase needs to be increased. Putting these silver here is just dead things, and buying finished goods is the basis for making money."

Unlike other gentry families in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Tianyu understood one thing: money can only be made more money by circulation, rather than mincing it into silver melons and hiding it in the cellar.

When it was almost dark, Liu Tianyu completed the inspection from the other bank warehouses and stayed in the escort bureau in the county to rest at night.

"The boss, everyone has brought it." Wang Dafu came to the house.

There was a large open space for escorts to train in the yard of the escort agency, and Wang Dafu took the person to this open space.

Liu Tianyu walked out of the house. The men standing in the open space were fierce and fierce men with fierce eyes, wearing felt hats on their heads, grey robes and belts on their waists, all dressed neatly.

Wherever these people in front of you go, people can recognize them at a glance. They are men from the border army.

Especially these people have a faint cold air, and their eyes make people feel even more scared.

Only by killing people, and killing more than one or two people, will such a fearful murderous aura come out of your body and eyes.

Liu Tianyu stood in front of these tough men and looked at them calmly, while those rebellious border men were actually suppressed in their momentum.

"Look, our boss stood in front of others, his momentum is amazing!"

"You don't know this! Our boss has also killed people, and has experienced several dangers, and he has more than one life in his hands."

The one who spoke first was Chen Dali, and then the one who spoke Chang Chunwang.

The two of them have come from the iron court to Guangling County and become an intern escort. They are only qualified to enter Wangjiazhuang and become formal escorts after the training is completed.
