Outside Zhejiang and Sichuan City, in the mountains of Daba, there is a place full of jungles.

Zhu Qizhe raised the crazy god in his hand, aimed at a goat that was more than a hundred steps away, and shot it with a "snap". The goat suddenly fell to the ground and twitched.

"Your marksman, your marksmanship is simply amazing!"

Ai Tiezhu waved his hand excitedly, rushed over with two blacksmiths, tied the goat's limbs, then broke the thick branches, and pulled the branches and leaves into the middle of the goat's limbs and legs. A goat was lifted up by his two subordinates.

He was so hungry about the meat of this goat.

Unfortunately, they could not catch them before, because the goat was too alert. If something approached it within a hundred steps, it would be frightened and could not shoot the bow and arrow. Only this new rifle with a range of 150 steps could it be blown over without realizing it.

Zhu Qizhu touched the crazy god in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

If there are tens of thousands of guns, who can compete with this world?

Unfortunately, it is too difficult to mass-produce this kind of gun.

You know, he collected more than ten blacksmiths including Ai Tiezhu and others, and took several months to create this sample.

If you follow this efficiency, you will have to do three or four moves a year and do tens of thousands of moves, which will take more than two thousand!

Of course he couldn't make people mess with him like this.

There are still many problems to be solved for this kind of gun to be mass-produced.

For example, the structure problem.

The model gun in his hand was like a piece of cake. Many of the components were directly riveted with something similar to rivets. If they were disassembled, they would basically be useless.

This is definitely not possible. It must be designed as threads or clamps. In this way, assembly can be quickly achieved during mass production and repair, and replacement of parts is easier.

There are also many precision parts, just like carving, they are slowly chiseled out with iron chisels and grinding out with terrazzo. This is not possible. The processing efficiency is too low, so special milling machines and grinders must be designed for processing.

Also, standard fine casting molds must be designed for parts such as barrels and bolts, otherwise many surfaces will have to be processed, which will be too troublesome to process.

Alas, there is a long way to go.

A group of more than ten people brought the goat to the Lijia Village villa, processed the goats, chopped them into pieces, stewed a large pot of whole mutton soup, added some ginger, scallions, wild coriander, etc., and called two princesses and Li Wanxiong. A large table of people gathered together and it tasted beautifully.

They were eating very hard, but Fan Rong came hurriedly with Sun Chengyan.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhi hurriedly greeted enthusiastically: "Brother-in-law, Chengyan, come, add two stools, two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and eat together."

Sun Chengyan squeezed with the Zhao brothers heartlessly and started eating happily.

Fan Rong sat there and frowned slightly, "Prince, the rice and flour of these more than 100,000 refugees is consumed so much. I can't even offer it."

It turned out that it was Sun Chengyan who went to ask him for rice and flour this month. He realized that the inventory in his store was almost consumed by the more than 100,000 refugees to only more than 100,000 stones left.

This is a warning line for a big vendor like him. If he has fewer business, his business everywhere will be affected.

Zhu Qizhi heard this and couldn't help but say curiously: "Brother-in-law, why don't you find a way to get in more? Is it because there is not enough manpower? I need not enough manpower. Just say, I can pull out thousands of people at will."

Fan Rong shook his head slightly and said, "Oh, it's not that there is not enough manpower, it's that there is not enough supply."

Source of goods?

Zhu Qidiao said puzzledly: "Brother-in-law, where do you usually purchase goods? Why is there insufficient supply of goods?"

Fan Rong said as he learned: "Of course I bought goods around Nanyang Prefecture. Now, there is no need to think about Henan Prefecture, Ruzhou, Xi'an Prefecture, and Hanzhong Prefecture in the northwest. In those places, drought is relatively serious, and the grain prices are more expensive than the selling price here. If you buy, you will lose money. The remaining food prices in the southeast, Yunyang Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture and Runing Prefecture have also risen sharply, and there is basically no profit. Only the grain prices in Xiangyang Prefecture and De'an Prefecture are still good. I have basically entered the food that can be obtained in these two places. But the food in these two prefectures is far from enough. It is a bit difficult for me to maintain the original business. In addition, the consumption of more than 100,000 refugees, my food stored there is almost bottom!"

Uh, this one.

Zhu Qizhuo asked silly: "Brother-in-law, the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, such a big place, why did you catch these places to purchase goods?"

Fan Rong was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "Prince, I have to calculate the cost of transportation. Within 500 miles, the carriage can be driven back and forth within ten days. The cost is not very high. If it exceeds 500 miles, the cost is a bit unbearable. You must know that a carriage can only take more than twenty stones of grain. The person who transports the food also needs to eat, and the man also needs to eat grass. People eat horses and horses chew it. The consumption is not small in a day. It is not much closer. If it is too far, the money you earn may not be enough to spend on the road."

OK, it's a bit ugly.

Many people think that they can do everything, but in fact, that is impossible.

Zhu Qizhe found out that he had made this problem.

He pondered for a while, then said embarrassedly: "What if it was shipped by ship? Last time, when I went to Yunyang Prefecture City, I saw a large dock there. If it was shipped by ship, the cost would not be very high, right?"

Fan Rong nodded slightly, then sighed: "For shipping, the cost is not very high. A ship is not controlled by many people, but it is a lot of food. Moreover, like Chengtian Prefecture, Wuchang Prefecture, and Changsha Prefecture in Huguang, the grain prices have not risen much, and the profits are not low. Problem, we don't have ships, so we have to rent those ships from the boats, and the cost has increased again."

No ship?

This is simple!

Zhu Qizhuo said without hesitation: "There is no ship, we will build ships!"

this!

Fan Rong said stunned: "This, prince, only the official shipyard can build large ships. For small fishing boats, it is not cost-effective to transport grain. Moreover, shipbuilding costs a lot, including artificial, wood, and other materials, we may not be able to recover for ten years."

I'm so fainted, it's from the official business again!

Zhu Qizhuo thought about it and asked again: "Is there an official shipyard in Yunyang?"

Fan Rong shook his head without hesitation and said, "No."

Dizzy!

Zhu Qizhu thought about it again, and then asked: "Can Lord Chen, the Fuzhi of Yunyang, submit a report to the court and build an official shipyard?"

Fan Rong was stunned for a moment, then he estimated: "This, I think, as long as the reasons are sufficient, it should be OK. After all, Lord Chen is a third-rank official of the imperial court, and the area under his jurisdiction is not a little large."

That's fine.

The shipyard must be built. This is the era of great navigation. Without its own warships and fleets, it can only be bullied.

The next morning, Zhu Qizhu disguised himself a little, and then took Ning Choudan, Zhao Zhengdao and his son and more than ten guard masters to go straight to Yunyang.

There was Zhao Zhengdao's Jinyiwei's waist sign opening the way, but no one dared to check them. Within a long time, everyone had already arrived in Yunyang City.

The Yunyang Fuzhi Yamen is not so easy to enter, and it is not enough to have the Jinyiwei token.

Zhu Qizhu thought about it, then whispered a few words to Zhao Zhengdao.

When Zhao Zhengdao heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then he stepped forward and took out the Jinyiwei waist sign and shook it in front of the guard at the door. Then he said politely: "Secretary Zhao Zhejiangchuan, if you have something to do, please let me know. Please give me a message."

The name of the Jinyiwei was quite scary. The guard at the door was stunned for a moment and ran in a little horror.

Chen Yumo was meeting guests now. He was stunned for a while before he realized that he heard the news from the guards at the door.

The Jinyiwei Zhao Zhejiangchuan?

It was Zhu Qizhu, the prince of Zhejiang and Sichuan, who came with Zhao Zhengdao, Yiwei of the Tang Dynasty!

Why is this little prince going crazy?
