Chapter 1311

On the other hand, Di Gubao, after returning to the Women's Straight Alliance, put forward his own opinions, which were not taken seriously, but he didn't care, after all, he has been ignored for a long time.

He simply calmed down and did a few things. One was to bring the remnant of the female Zhiwan Yan family under his command, and the other was to start a business of burning knives with Wang Yang.

The land of white mountains and black water is definitely a place where dogs freeze to death. Although the products are rich, the harsh winter makes people often hesitate.

Even if they are the female tribes whose ancestors have lived between the white mountains and the black waters for generations, the cold will take the lives of many old and weak women and children every winter.

Even a strong adult man, once he goes hunting in the mountains and loses his way, is very likely to be frozen into a hard ice sculpture and lose his life.

However, when Di Gubao did business with Wang Yang, he not only brought the kind of spirits that can make people feel hot from the mouth to the stomach with just one sip, but also brought the kind of cheap cotton padded clothes. cotton.

The warmth and comfort of cotton-padded clothes is self-evident, and it can help more old and weak girls and children in the women's straight department to survive the long winter.And burning knives became the favorite of all female straight warriors in the first place.

Taking a sip in the howling cold wind can refresh your mind and make your whole body warm. With these two kinds of things, one inside and one outside to keep out the cold, many people in the Women's Straight Alliance are very concerned about this. Wei Di Gubao began to look at him differently.

In addition, the price of cotton clothes is only a fraction of that of furs. A piece of fur may not be enough for one person's clothes, but it can be exchanged for several sets of thick and warm cotton clothes, so why not change them.

Anyway, for female leopards like them, fur doesn't have much appreciation value other than keeping out the cold.

And whether it is fur or various special products in the white mountains and black waters, the most important thing is that they can be exchanged from Di Gubao for the urgently needed supplies of the various departments of the Women's Straight Alliance.

Especially when the Northern Liao Dynasty changed its strategy and made it difficult for the Women's Straight Alliance, the business between Di Gubao and Song Ting became more and more prosperous, and many girls fell in order to be able to get it from Di Gubao's hands. Obtaining more shares of materials and lower prices are getting closer and closer to him.

As a result, he, a profiteer who is despised by most straight women, has more and more voice in the women's straight alliance.And he repeatedly mentioned the plan to seize the Liaodong Peninsula and exchange a large amount of combat supplies with the Song Dynasty.

And finally began to be ransacked by those who had no place to live, felt more and more that they were about to lose their lives, and were pushed forward step by step by the army of Beiliao. The women's straight ministries who could already smell the crisis brought it to the table for serious discussion.

I believe that it won't be too long, maybe this winter, Wang Yang will be able to receive good news from the Liaodong Peninsula.

In Jiaonan Port, with the investment of Wanhong Commercial Company regardless of cost, the construction of the wharf has basically been completed, and the basic work of the shipyard has also been completed. At present, under the guidance of those shipbuilding experts hired with a lot of money, three A sea-going ship of the thousand to five thousand level.

I believe that Wanhong Trading Co., Ltd. will be able to own a large maritime merchant fleet in a short time.In addition, in the coastal area, a large number of desperate people who are familiar with water and fearless are recruited, and they are conducting sea training to provide sufficient protection for the future voyage of the Wanhong Merchant Fleet.

"Sir, it has been more than half a year since our Yuanyou Shenwei Cannon came out. Since Your Majesty and the others have seen the power of the cannon, the artillery workshop has produced a lot of prototypes and conducted repeated test cannons, and has obtained a lot of data. .Look..."

It's okay not to mention it, but Wang Yang's expression turned ugly when it was mentioned. "I also looked at those data, it's pretty good, but it's still a little bit worse, you see, there are more than ten cast iron sample guns for test.

But their limit is actually only damaged when the firing limit of the two artillery exceeds 530 cannons.The rest did not exceed 400 shots, and some of the barrels even had cracks after firing more than [-] shots, and many of the barrels exploded directly when they fired more than [-] shots... ..."

"What does this mean? This means that if there is no error or omission in the program of the artillery workshop, then there is a problem with the raw materials."

"There is absolutely no problem with the cannon-making process of the Artillery Workshop. The raw materials are all iron materials collected from the smelters of the Ministry of Industry near Bianliang, Tokyo. Could there be any problems?" Zhao Ji looked at Wang Yang in a daze and asked. road.

"Isn't that enough to explain the problem?" Wang Yang spread his hands and rolled his eyes at this guy. "There are so many smelting workshops in the Ministry of Industry, and each smelting workshop has a different source of iron ore, right?"

"Of course... Hey, what you mean is that the artillery we trial-produced has a lot to do with the huge difference in the test results." Zhao Ji finally nodded as if he had realized something.

"It's not that I look down on those workshops in the Ministry of Industry, but that most of the craftsmen in those workshops are too self-sufficient to make innovations." Wang Yang said with some emotion.

"It's like using coal to make coking coal. Wang Mouzhi has been developing it for several years, but until the beginning of last year, except for the military supervisor, many other smelting workshops were willing to purchase private coking coal. And they were unwilling to purchase it. High-quality coking coal from our Wanhong Trading Company."

"Well, Xiao Wang understands. Next time, let them purchase separately, smelt and cast the cannon separately, and then test the cannon. In this way, it will be easier to determine where the iron material is most suitable for casting the cannon." Zhao Ji finally reacted.

"Unexpectedly, this cannon has already been built, but the test of the cannon alone is a troublesome thing that can drive people crazy. It has been tested repeatedly, and every time it is tested, it has to be avoided in a deserted place. Let the imperial army clean up the people within a few miles..."

Hearing that Zhao Ji complained there with a bitter face, Wang Daguan was also very helpless. "It's already considered good, it's better than throwing the cannon on the battlefield, in case there is a sudden explosion on the battlefield, right?"

"That way, it is easy to disturb the morale of the army, and it may even cause a sudden turning point in the battle. Therefore, it is the principle that sharpening the knife does not cut firewood by mistake."

"That's true, but sir, those Yuanyou Shenwei cannons made of bronze, and those iron-bodied and copper-core cannons have far surpassed those cast iron Yuanyou Shenwei cannons. Why don't you approve of making these more powerful guns? You don’t want the excellent artillery, but you insist on making the cast iron cannon?”

"In fact, you should be very clear about this truth. We are almost running out of copper materials for casting coins in the Song Dynasty. We use them to cast cannons... Hehe, if those guys know that the cost of casting a cannon is hundreds or even thousands Gu, aren't you afraid that those important ministers in the court will turn against you?
