"The fire gate is different on the body of the cannon, and the distance of the shells are also different; our casting fire gate is usually placed at the position from the gun mouth to the tail of the cannon 73, while the foreigners are in the eight-two direction and have to get close to the tail of the cannon three points. Then people said that this is to let the gunpowder burn all the gunpowder and leak less air at the fire gate.

Ren Yuan talked to Wang Tong excitedly. Wang Tong could understand a rough idea. He might not be able to understand this kind of technical problem, but he would have great patience to listen. Ren Yuan was very excited and continued to talk:

"I don't know that these people have made gunpowder again. They first stir our gunpowder evenly, then add water to wet the sample and stir evenly. After drying, grind it finely with a small grind to turn into particles." At this point, Wang Tong was indeed a little confused, and Ren Yuan said:

"I originally thought that this gunpowder could be stained with water again. I took such a lot of effort to do it. I never thought that after drying it, it burned faster and was much more powerful than before. And I heard from these people that the gunpowder made in this way was not easy to get damp." This was indeed a great benefit. Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said to a personal soldier next to him: "Give me instructions, these cannons will add another 50% according to the rewards given by the craftsmen who made muskets that day.

The personal soldiers walked down quickly. After they followed Wang Tong for a long time, they naturally knew what to do at this time. They told Yu Tongyi first. Tongyi passed the words loudly. The craftsmen below were stunned and cheered loudly. Wang Tong smiled and turned toward the house. He waved to Ren Yuan to follow and said:

"I will tell you the truth. These people are all going to stay, but the risk in your official office is great, so there is no need to let you take on this F Department. I am going to build a new place to count as my official’s private property. At that time, Qiao Da and the others will move in and work together. The official office can arrange for apprentices to study in it."

The head of the Ministry of Works was a man who devoted himself to Gezhi's skills. Wang Tong's arrangement not only saved him from risks, but also gave him benefits, and learned new things. How could he not be willing to do so?

Immediately said gratefully:

"Thank you for your care..."

"Don't rush to thank you first. You have seen the machinery that people used cattle and horses to pull these days. It is indeed very useful to do things, but don't they say it too? If you use water, it will be even more convenient. Our Tianjin Wei is the end of the Jiuhe River. Is it not convenient to use water? You have to have a good place to make coal, wood, copper and iron all kinds of households convenient to come in, and the things made are convenient to transport out, and you can use water." Wang Tong interrupted his words with a smile. Ren Yuan focused his head and said repeatedly: "Please rest assured, Ren must find a good place for the adults and do this errand."

Although the isolation area is called quarantine, there is still no shortage of goods. The Portuguese inside are all craftsmen, so they have to build shacks and live in it temporarily.

Firewood, coal, quilts and coats, Tianjin Wei is also open for supply. Although the weather is getting colder, they are not suffering any consequences. When they get silver, they are thinking about improving their lives. The soldiers do not make things difficult for them. As long as they give silver, they are willing to buy them some wine and meat for the market.

When I go to do the work that is not hard during the day, and come back to eat meat and drink wine at night, these people are very happy. They have had such a good life when they were in Macau.

Anyone who has gone out is excitedly talking about the prosperous market. Even Lisbon, a city in Portugal, is not as prosperous as that. Although everyone is passing by in a hurry, looking at the kind attitude of the Ming officials here, they will sooner or later have a day of strolling.

Drinking and eating meat, singing loudly in the heart, you are really happy, but you can only do this by making money by working. It’s okay to eat and drink a few times without money, but you will be rolled when you have too much. White people are indifferent to each other. If everyone is not sympathetic, they may not even have enough food and drink.

It was lively and desolate. The desolate side was naturally unbearable. Moreover, in Macau, the non-commissioned officers, soldiers and the captain and sailors on the armed merchant ships had higher status and treatment than ordinary craftsmen, but now the situation has been completely reversed, and the difference is really big.

Listening to the laughter and joy over there, a group of people here were talking about it. It was okay for the soldiers from Macau, but after all, there was some discipline, so I just slept.

The people on the Feilu were not self-scrupulous. After staying at sea for a long time, they were still uneasy. Seeing those craftsmen who took a lot of money to come back to eat and drink delicious food, I was really unwilling to accept it.

They all knew that Captain Juan was also called over some time ago, but when he came back, he was empty-handed. Everyone gathered up. "Captain, did the master of Ming Dynasty say anything? Do we have no rewards or benefits?" As soon as the person asked, someone at the side interrupted and said, "That young master values ​​technology and craftsmanship. What do we do? Why should we give it to us?" "If you don't like anything, how could you ask the captain to come over? It's really sad to smell the wine and mutton every night. If this continues, I would rather commit suicide!!" Juan was listening to the sailors and crew talking. He was the captain of everyone. Of course, he understood that everyone's words were just a squeeze on him. He even suspected that he embezzled Shige when he went to see the master. If he didn't say anything, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't believe him.

Hu arranged to spread his hands and said with a wry smile:

"That master wants to buy our ship, how can I agree?"

The sailors who were listening attentively were stunned at first, swallowed each other, and said one person: "Captain, come here, do you think we still have the possibility of leaving?" The house suddenly became noisy...

It was similar to Wang Tong's preparatory school. On November 22, Captain Juan proposed to the guards in the quarantine area again, asking for a second meeting. During this meeting, before Tong Ling could speak, Juan was already kneeling respectfully on the ground and said, "Dear Master, I want to sell a boat!" After Tong Ling turned the words, Wang Tong couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled and said, "The boat is not yours, you are not qualified to sell a boat."

The attitude and meaning of the master Xiandi was to buy the ship in full. Juan came to discuss this time based on Wang Tong's attitude, but he didn't expect the other party to deny it casually. For a moment, he was a little confused and at a loss. Seeing the white man's attitude, Wang Tong smiled even harder.

In negotiations, when one party has the right to f6, the other party wants to avoid damage and suffer losses, so he can only keep his bottom line tight and not give in. If he gives in, he has to give in step. Since Juan wants to sell the ship, Wang Tong has to step forward. "Didn't the master say that he wants to use silver ingots to buy this ship? Why don't he buy it again... "The ship is here now, and you are also under supervision. If you really want this ship, do I still need to buy it?"

Tongzhi listened attentively. Juan said too quickly, and Wang Tong responded quickly. He couldn't keep up with him, so he didn't dare to make any difference.

After a few conversations, Hu An was depressed. Since the other party was about to take down the ship, what else should I do if I sell it? These people are not craftsmen and have no skills in their hands. What should I do in the future? Wang Tong ignored Juan who was stunned there, and just smiled and said to Tongzhi: "Is Zhang Yubei? You said this very smoothly. How did you learn it in the past? Tongzhi is the most overlooked group of people. Unexpectedly, Wang Tong took the verb to hit B and bowed and replied:

"If you want to go back to the adults, I originally had two empty houses in the Fenshui Street in the south of the capital. I was rented by a monk from Franji. I went to study when I was young. Later, when my family was in decline, I served the monk until I died. I didn't learn any skills, so I learned the Franji word." Wang Tong nodded and asked gently: "I have a lot of dealings with foreign foreigners like Franji in the future. If you need someone who knows the Franji word, are you willing to help?"

Zhang Yubei never thought that the other party would suddenly ask for help. He was reluctant to come to Tianjin Wei. The Jinyiwei would give him a job when he arrested people and handled the job. When he saw that he was a young family, he felt it was unreliable, but he didn't expect that the other party would pay half of the job, and he agreed in advance to give him three times the salary. This half was already a lot.

In Tianjin Wei, he lived in a comfortable life, had a good meal and a spicy meal, and people everywhere were very polite to him. Everyone followed the rules and handled the matter. After learning about the salary of the servants below, he saw the prosperity of Tianjin Wei Port. Zhang Yubei didn't want to leave, but he was just an outsider. He wanted to stay and be a toll-in-service officer, so it was not that easy.

When Wang Tong heard Wang Tong mention it, he felt ecstatic. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed for a few times, and kept saying: "I am willing, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you."

Wang Tong looked at the five general translators with a smile. Only Zhang Yubei did not take advantage of the general translator to get rid of them. Moreover, according to the three craftsmen in Tianjin Wei Carlos, they were also very skilled in their first day. They were responsible for their work and proficient in their business. Of course, Wang Tong was willing to recruit such talents.

The conversation between them, Hu An, who was staying beside him, felt even more disappointed and frightened. The other party didn't care about him at all. Should he be here for life be a prisoner? "Dear Master, please give me a humble person a way out, please give me a chance to serve you one by one."

Without delusions, people will become very realistic. Every day, eating rough meals in the shack, and seeing the companions who are happy living beside them, he will ask for the most practical road. Looking at Juan kowtowing below, Wang Tong smiled and said leisurely: "Zhang Yubei, tell him that he still has skills..."
