The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1310

[1310.Chapter 1246: bargain hunting]

Wang Shouren said categorically: “Tomorrow we will set off into the depths of Mobei to look for the Russians.”

Xiao Jing burped and was silent for a moment: “Why?”

He felt even more sad.

He was the last to know such big news.

The factory guard has not been mobilized yet.

But here I am, alone, with no one to care about me, and His Majesty cannot afford to think about myself. How miserable.

Wang Shouren said: “Your Majesty lost tens of millions of taels of silver by trading in the stock market.”

Xiao Jing’s eyes widened and he fell silent.

Then, Xiao Jing suddenly showed joy: “The time has come to make contributions. It is our duty to share your worries for you. We will go tomorrow too.”

“What can you do by going?”

Xiao Jing did not dare to share the credit, even if Since he died in Mobei, at least his Majesty could see his name in the report.

As long as His Majesty can still miss him, then even death is worth it.

He looked at Wang Shouren with a faint look: “Bo’an, go deep into the deepest part of the desert and drive straight in. We need our all-pervasive factory guards to do it for you. Otherwise, you are just a bunch of headless flies.”

Wang Shouren ignored him, but I sat down and opened the memorial I carried with me.

This report was brought here by Nai Rentai, Zhang Yong and other students from Xishan Military Academy who arrived here after leaving customs.

Among them, the vast majority are information about revolver short guns.

There are thousands of revolver blunderbuss made by Xishan. They are all brought here with enough ammunition.

The structure of the revolver blunderbuss is very simple.

But… what’s really valuable about it is its primer design.

Students from Xishan College of Chemistry discovered a certain substance during continuous experiments. This substance is called mercury fulminate. When dry, mercury fulminate is extremely sensitive to vibration, impact and friction, and is easily Exploded by sparks and flames.

So… soon, someone discovered its value.

If the mercury fulminate is loaded into the base of the bullet, and then strikes through the firing pin, then… the bullet does not need to light a match rope to fire.

Ever since, people began to invent specific bullets.

This kind of bullet is equipped with a primer. After the primer, there is a special gunpowder. After the primer detonates, the gunpowder is ignited. The gunpowder is fully burned and generates a huge thrust, which shoots the bullet in the chamber directly.

Ever since, the revolver gun appeared.

In order to improve the accuracy and range of the revolver musket, countless people in Xishan began to invest manpower and material resources.

People also discovered that different charges, formulas of gunpowder, and the degree of sealing in the bomb bay determine the power of gunpowder.

Then, there is the bullet, which must fit perfectly with the barrel of the short gun. Therefore, some people have proposed the standardization of bullets, so that different bullets can be used with different guns, and each bullet Bullets must set adequate standards.

After the invention of the magnifying glass, with the needs of production, the magnification of the magnifying glass has been continuously improved, which has also greatly promoted the production of machinery.

In the past, people looked at things of similar size with the naked eye, but under a magnifying glass, they suddenly looked completely different.

Through people’s more microscopic observation, some mechanical industries have made great progress.

Standardized bullets can be made.

Then, people began to have new requirements for the rifling of the inner wall of the gun tube.

According to the experience of manufacturing artillery in the past, if rifling is installed in the artillery, the range and accuracy will be greatly improved.

Ever since, this technology began to be applied to fire guns.

In order to test the range and accuracy of different riflings.

The Military Research Institute worked almost non-stop to design hundreds of plans. Each method was tested again and again. There were thousands of short muskets used for trial production alone, and these, after testing, finally became Scrap copper and iron.

This is a systematic project, and almost every research institute and academy in Xishan has provided technology to participate in it.

Then, when a version that could finally be mass-produced came out, manufacturing began. All this was due to the research and manufacturing of steam locomotives. At the beginning, this important project cost Xishan tens of millions of taels of silver and used Although all the manpower and material resources were used to build it, it was just a steam locomotive, but in fact, it laid the foundation for subsequent research and manufacturing.

Better steel, how to process these steels more precisely, how to set standards, how to produce them.

Steam locomotive engineering has cultivated thousands of talents from all walks of life.

To put it bluntly, as long as they have money, there is nothing they can’t do.

The Military Academy then conducted research on the revolver short gun. They needed to study and formulate a new tactic based on the characteristics of the fire gun, and how to train the relevant personnel.

Now, this group of people has arrived in the desert in a hurry.

And all this information fell into Wang Shouren’s hands.

Wang Shouren frowned. He read the information carefully, and the Russian tactics and the combat methods for these tactics naturally emerged in his mind.

This sitting lasted several hours.

Xiao Jing was still drinking wine.

Time was too short and there was no time to practice, but the biggest advantage of the revolver gun is that anyone can master it in just a few days.

Unknowingly, it was already early the next morning, and Wang Shouren kicked Xiao Jing, who was drunk and sleeping on the ground.

Xiao Jing opened his eyes and became angry: “We are also members of the palace. You dare to kick us. No wonder you, Wang Shouren… you… you are now… a minister at a young age…”

At this point At that moment, Xiao Jing suddenly felt like falling asleep again. It would be better to continue dreaming.

I had my penis cut off, and after a lifetime of hard work, I finally entered the Department of Ceremony and took charge of the factory guard. Good guy, this guy is so upright, and he was promoted so quickly.

It makes no sense.

He rolled over.

Wang Shouren asked: “Are you leaving?”

“Where to go?”

“Fight with the Russians.”

Xiao Jing cheered up: “Wang Bo’an, we… we… owe you a favor.”

“Don’t blame me if you die.” Wang Shouren Cherish words like gold.

………

Fang Jifan is the deputy commander.

The so-called strategizing and decisive victory are the duties of the deputy commander.

However, this matter of marching and fighting is thousands of miles away, and Fang Jifan is not stupid. How can he get involved in this matter? The so-called strategizing is nonsense. Thousands of miles away, he has no idea what is going on outside. This marching and fighting , it pays attention to adapting to the situation, so there is an old saying that the general will be outside and the emperor will not accept his orders. The more lenient he is, the sooner Wang Shouren will die. By then, he may really have to shave his head.

Fang Jifan cherished his body, hair and skin very much, and he decided not to care about anything.

He got up at three o’clock in the morning, yawned, put on the sleeping clothes specially designed for himself, rinsed his mouth comfortably, sat in the hall, and sipped tea. Before his buttocks were warm from sitting, Wang Jinyuan came in a hurry: “Master, Master, again Falling…”

Fang Jifan waved his hand: “Don’t tell me, I know even if you don’t tell me, the Xingfu Group must have fallen badly. When did the stock price reach one dollar per share?”

Wang Jinyuan said to Fang Jifan. He rolled his eyes: “It’s not just a penny, now… this stock has dropped to fifty copper coins.”

Fang Jifan: “…”

Damn…

this is too cruel, half a penny.

Fang Jifan asked: “Is it stable?”

“Not very stable.” Wang Jinyuan smiled bitterly and said: “What should be sold is still being sold. If it can’t be sold, no one will buy it.”

Fang Jifan was happy: “People nowadays, too They are impetuous. It seems that they are inexperienced in stock trading. When the market panics, they are so scared that they sell everything. They can’t calm down. The price has just dropped to this point, and they don’t want to buy the bottom. They don’t want to think about it. This Xingfu Group still has assets. There are so many tribes in the desert, all under the Xingfu Group. Not to mention that all the tribes in this desert are real people. Even if they are dogs, they are still worth a few dollars. Wang Jinyuan, give them to me. Prepare a sum of money and carry out the purchase secretly. The price cannot exceed one penny. You need as much as you have. It won’t cost much anyway. They don’t want it. Our successor wants it. Also, if it is suspected to be palace stock, then Don’t accept it, you will be beheaded.”

Wang Jinyuan couldn’t help but said: “But Master, this stock is just like useless paper.”

Even though Wang Jinyuan has rich experience in business, he has not experienced the baptism of cutting leeks. ,Lack of experience.

A sudden panic broke everyone’s confidence.

Fang Jifan smiled: “I told you to do it quickly.”

Wang Jinyuan was helpless.

But he couldn’t help but muttered: “If the young master accepts it, if anyone knows about it in the future, everyone will laugh. Look at the king who is not an official. He only had three or four coins and copied a lot of stocks. Those Hanlins in the Hanlin Academy, and others Wang Bushi secretly entrusted people from the Hanlin Academy to help him sell it, and now everyone thinks he is a joke, saying he is…a fool.”

Fang Jifan glared at him: “How dare you call me a fool.”

“No. , No.” Wang Jinyuan shivered in fright: “The villain means that Wang Jinyuan is…”

“Is it true that I can’t hear what you are saying? You bitch, I am so good to you. , I treat you as my own son, and you actually dare to scold me. You really have no law. This is called using a slave to deceive the master. Don’t explain, I won’t listen. Now I’ll fine you. Don’t think I don’t know. In 2007, you collected a lot of money and built several villas in the new city. You raised a group of vixens and were fined 100,000 taels of silver. If you don’t hand it over tomorrow, I will break all your legs. This is good, and it will purify society. It raises the moral average.”

“Master… I was wronged…” Wang Jinyuan wailed.
