Ruan Xiaoqi got to know everyone one by one, and suddenly Ruan Xiaoqi saw a child Xu Erdan. This thirteenth and fourteenth child was very clever and was not afraid of people following the hairy child.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Who is this?"

"This kid is called Xu Erdan. He was recruited on the way and planned to take him back to the big car business as a mailman so that he could make a living." Wu Song said.

Xu Erdan looked at Wu Song with gratitude. In fact, Xu Erdan picked up the child on the way and was not qualified to recruit children like him.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "I am missing a mailman who serves tea and water at the port. I think this child is very clever, so how about letting him follow me."

Wu Song said to Erdan: "Ruan Biaotou asked you to follow him, are you willing."

"I'm willing." Erdan said.

Wu Song said: "Your fortune is here. Ruan Biaotou has all the skills. Follow him to study hard, and his future achievements will be limitless."

Xu Erdan agreed happily, and since then Xu Erdan has become Ruan Xiaoqi's little follower, and Ruan Xiaoqi named him Xu Donghai.

Seeing that the port was safe and sound, Wu Song was in good condition and was in good order, so he did not stay for long. He immediately went south and returned to Dongping Prefecture without mentioning it.

After nearly a month after Wu Song went out, Dongping Prefecture also underwent earth-shaking changes. Lord Cheng's major policy of encouraging farmers and fellow practitioners to teach them about their integrity was implemented, and the entire Dongping Prefecture presented a positive atmosphere. Farmers actively farmed and developed water conservancy. Handicraftsmen have a better sales and their enthusiasm for processing has also increased. With the improvement of public security, farmers' enthusiasm for breeding horses, cattle, sheep and pigs has also become higher. In fact, the agricultural society is easy to stabilize. What the people want is just a bite.

He was dressed in a dress. After returning to Beijing, Lord Li, the magistrate of the Padong Prefecture, was upgraded from a seventh rank to a fourth rank, and he was able to say that he had risen to the top, but Lord Li could not be happy. The reason was that there was no other reason. At that time, the Badong Prefecture area was covered with mountains and forests, sparsely populated, and far less prosperous than Dongping Prefecture. Badong was east of Chengdu Prefecture, but it was a world of difference compared to Chengdu Prefecture. This was a world of difference. The Ministry of Personnel had all the documents, so he had to go even if he had to.

Let’s talk about Tongda Machinery Floor. Ma Jun was responsible for the research and development of various water conservancy machinery all day long. The big black eagle crossbow secretly started to produce, but the output was very low. He only produced a hundred and ten arrows in a month, and only a few thousand small arrows. The new Liu Han, also known as Liu Dachui, had very good skills. He successfully passed the preliminary assessment and became the small leader of the Machinery Floor. He had two taels of silver every month. In addition, when Wu Song left, he gave Liu Han a drawing and drew it.

What is it? A short hand gun, a foot-long barrel, a foot-long gun handle, the trigger pulls the hammer to fire, the gun medicine in the barrel is ignited, and the iron sand in the barrel is blown out, avoiding the trouble of using fuses. In fact, the principle is very simple. The foreign musket that the post-80s generation played when they were young is like this. The difficulty lies in the configuration of the spark gun medicine, which was solved by Wu Song. He knew the formula. The bolt-killing ignition door used a little bit of unique gun medicine, and got angry when squeezed.

The drawings are very detailed, but the production process is not available. Wooden handles and other things are easy to say. There are good woodworkers in the machinery factory, which are easy to make. The barrel of the gun is difficult to break. Liu Han was originally using iron rolls, which are poor in airtightness and easy to explode. They are completely toys. No one dared to use a musket that could explode at any time.

As a last resort, Liu Han used a produced iron rod and fixed it on the pedal-turning bed to drill the iron rod with a drill bit. The one-foot-long iron rod was drilled for half a month in his spare time. The diameter was exactly ten mm. The other accessories were solved. The installation was completed and they were taken to a secluded place for experiments. The bang and the whole guy almost dislocated Liu Han's arm.

As soon as Wu Song returned to Qinghe County, Liu Han came to find his cousin.

Liu Han took a secret wooden box and said, "Sir, the task you arranged for me has been completed. Please see if you pass it."

Wu Song took it out and took a preliminary look. The workmanship is OK. After all, it is all handmade things, and it is impossible to be so fine. Put a qian of gun medicine, twenty particles of iron sand, and the bang was a 50-meter wooden board. The barrel of this thing was short and the lethality was close, and it was basically fifty meters.

Wu Song took this fun thing, looked at it carefully for a while, and said happily: "Although it is not easy to use and it is also very ancient, but my cousin, you have made great contributions and finally made a hand gun. If you want a horse or a house, I will reward you."

Liu Han smiled honestly and said, "There is no such thing as a brother bargaining with his younger brother. Look at the rewards, I'm not greedy."

"I have also heard about my cousin's affairs. I have allocated three craftsmen to you in the machinery workshop. You make ten test pieces and then give you ten days off, reward a horse, and prepare the betrothal gift. You follow the convoy of the big cart to Qingzhou and take my sister-in-law back." Wu Song said.

Liu Han said: "Simple, Baozheng completes the task within five days."

This speed is also slow enough. After all, it is produced manually and is still in the exploration stage, especially the barrel and drill bit of the musket, which is quite primitive.

Wu Song tested the musket twice. First of all, the gun is really powerful and invincible in close combat. Within fifty meters, you don’t need to aim to ensure that you can hit it. Secondly, the gun is 60 centimeters long, which is much shorter than the long musket. It is very convenient to carry and can be used by infantry and cavalry. There are quite a lot of defects, and it is slow to load. After firing once, it takes 30 to 40 seconds to complete. There are also many thick smoke. If you shoot a black gun, the position will be exposed.

Mao Hai said: "Brother, I like this thing very much. Can you let me try it?"

"Okay, wrap your wrists with a bandage, don't dislocate them, and then you can try it." Wu Song said.

The hairy boy was quite decent. He took the strip to clean the gun chamber, pressed the gunpowder, and pressed the iron sand. Then the fire door pressed the spark paper, held the gun with both hands, pulled the trigger, and bang.

With a sound, thick smoke squirted out. The hairy child was pushed back by strong recoil, but he held the gun as Wu Song asked and was not injured.

Mao Hai said: "Brother, I will practice more. As my brother's guard, I am not capable and I have to protect me when I encounter danger. I want to practice this pistol well."

Wu Song patted the hairy kid's shoulder: "Don't feel too stressed. You are still young and your body has not yet grown well. Since you want to practice, practice slowly. Remember to pay attention to safety. You can get a maximum of twenty times a day."

The hairy kid nodded: "Okay, I will pay attention."

Recently, Wu Song didn't go out and gave Mao Chi a few days off, so he asked him to practice guns in the backyard of the Machinery Floor. Don't think that the Machinery Floor only produces machinery. Tongda Machinery Floor has two workshops, which specializes in producing big black eagle crossbows. There are also frequent crossbows and arrows in the backyard, so the targets here are very complete.
