Chapter 92 Hand
It's a deal, and everyone is happy. In particular, Xu Da, Zhou Dexing and others, with weapons, trained thousands of people in their hands to become elite soldiers, attacking the city and land, showing their true nature as men.
"Come on." Zhu Yuanzhang shouted, "Gre me one of my hands."
Hands? Shi Xin looked at the happy Zhu Yuanzhang and didn't know what medicine he sold in the gourd. But I saw other people around me waiting, all with envy on their faces.
It should be a good thing, right?
After a while, a soldier came in, holding a plate covered with red cloth, and held it flat in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened the red cloth with a smile, revealing a yellow copper tube.
Shi Xin looked at it twice and didn't know what it was. He asked, "Mr. Zhu, what is this thin copper pipe for? Is it for eating?
"I know how to eat, this is a treasure!" Xu Da said, "This is a copper fire. Fill the gunpowder into the medicine room with a medicine spoon, then put the altar wooden horse and pound the wooden horse with a mallet, put multiple lead into the ball, open the fire door, twist the fire into the fire door and pour a little gunpowder, clamp the gunp rack with a shoulder socket and put the tail end of the rack against the ground, and it can be fired."
Xu Da explained as he said. In the middle of the words, Shi Xin reacted: Isn't it the sudden gun that the eldest brother made himself make? It's just that this is a copper tube, which is stronger than the bamboo tube used for the musket.
"Yes, this was sent by a man named Jiao Yu a few days ago. The firearm he made was very powerful. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother would give you this hand." Zhou Dexing said with a small belly.
"How dare you accept such a big gift from Mr. Zhu?" Shi Xin listened and said quickly.
"Where, where, no matter how powerful the hand is, how can it be worth Mr. Zhang's 6,000 catties of iron? This hand, even if it is my gift to Mr. Zhang, please pass it on. I really want to know your eldest brother. Isn't it fast for us to talk about wine as a hero!"
Since it was for the eldest brother, Shixin accepted it rudely.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the letter, was relieved, and then said, "I don't know when this 6,000 catties of iron can be delivered?"
"After I go back, I will immediately organize manpower and ship it as soon as possible. In about six or seven days, I will ship it to Wuhe for you." Shixin secretly calculated the time. Two days should be enough to ride back. Then he loaded the iron along the waterway, crossed Desheng Lake to the west, to Gaoyou Lake, then to the northwest to the Golden Lake, to Hongze Lake, and then to the west to the Five Rivers.
"You need to go through many areas all the way, some of which are relatively chaotic. Do you need me to send a team of soldiers to escort you?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with good intentions.
"Please rest assured that we will naturally solve the safety along the way. You just need to send someone to the Wuhe Ferry to pick you up after the seventh day." Shi Xin declined him.
It seems that this Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't have good intentions and escort him? Where to escort? You can't know the secret of the base.
Out of the camp, there are already stars outside.
Resoling Zhu Yuanzhang's kindness, Shi Xin and Tang He rushed back to Gaoyou overnight with Lu Xing.
Zhu Yuanzhang generously gave them a few horses, so, counting the horses captured in front, one for each, Shixin could finally stop making his legs suffer.
It is very dangerous to ride a horse late at night. Everyone does not run wildly and walk slowly.
In the camp.
"Brother, we have nothing now except the grain of the donkey village. How can we buy iron with so much money?" Xu Da asked with a sad face.
"We don't have it, but Miao Tycoon has it." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Miu Tycoon? The tycoon of Hengjian Mountain? He has, but he won't give it to us!" Zhou Dexing also said that the next battle target is Miao Tycoon. He will obediently give himself money and then let himself build weapons to attack him?
"Of course he won't give it to us. If he surrenders to us, his money will not be ours." Zhu Yuanzhang said confidently.
"How can we attack him if we don't have money to buy iron weapons?" Guo Ying also said.
This is clearly a dead loop.
"We can owe him money first."
"Whose one?"
"The iron seller."
"But, big brother, you promised him..."
"What did I promise him?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with great reason, "I promised him to buy 6,000 catties of iron with 5,000 taels of silver. He promised to send it to me in ten days, but when did I promise him to give him the silver immediately? It's okay to put it off, right? When we beat the tycoon, we will give it to him when we have the silver.
Everyone was stunned, "Brother, you are so tall."
It's a pity that Shi Xin didn't hear it. If he knew that he, an invincible salesman in the business world, had fallen into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was doing business for the first time, he really didn't know how to feel.
..................
When he arrived at the murder port, the ship was still parked at the port, indicating that the eldest brother had not come back yet. Shi Xin did not dare to drive the ship back to the base, because, first, there was only one boat left here, and the other one was handed over to Li Bosheng to transport ore. If he drove away by himself, when the eldest brother came back, there would be no boat back to the base. Second, Shi Xin and Tang He, no one knows the waterway to the base. After entering the victory lake, they must have lost their way in the reeds. In ten days and a half a month, it is estimated that they can't turn out.
Shi Xin was anxious and rode back to the salt farm to inquire quietly.
Tang He took Lu Xing's men and temporarily lived in the murder port.
Zhang Yang originally planned to use the killing port as a transit base, and planned to send a few people to stay for a long time after he had enough manpower. Therefore, he saved some food, soup and took his old subordinates to eat and drink, and occasionally shoot a duck to roast it. Xiao Yangzi lived a very comfortable life.
I just think of it occasionally, where's the big brother? Why haven't you come back yet? Even Shixin disappeared as soon as he went, and it was enough to go back and forth.
It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Zhang Yang returned to the murder port with a group of salt transport brothers.
The horse was naturally handed over to Zhang Yang to ride, and Shixin fell back to the ranks of walking.
This time, Zhang Yang went to deliver salt, which was indeed delayed for a few more days, because he loaded salt from the salt farm and returned to the base to replace it with refined salt. After arriving in Yangzhou, he waited for two days without waiting for He Zhaoyi to appear. In desperation, Zhang Yang took the salt boat and went to Hezhou to hand over the salt with all the silver and returned to Yangzhou. He still didn't wait for anything. According to Zhao Yi, he sent Shi Wenshan to inquire about her in Yangzhou, and the rest of the people came back first.
What happened to He Zhaoyi after she got home? Zhang Yang felt a little strange. In any case, he seemed to be unable to stay out of the matter. What's more, more than 1,000 taels of silver earned from this salt transportation were from He Zhaoyi.
Back to the salt farm, Shi Xin had been anxiously waiting at home for two days. Seeing Zhang Yang coming back, he was relieved.
Now it's not too late to rush back to the base and transport the refined iron to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Do business with integrity. Shixin doesn't want to lose credit the first time he does business.
(At the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang's development, a man named Jiao Yu presented the firearms he developed, so Zhu Yuanzhang's team became the only in the Jiangnan Uprising Army. The water network in the south of the Yangtze River, coupled with Liu Futong's Northern Expedition, the cavalry that the Mongols were proud of could not exert its due power, so Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a firearm, tasted the benefits. The firearms of the Ming Dynasty can shine brilliantly, and this person's contribution is indispensable.)
