Chapter 1311

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

simply had the patience to do a few things, one was to incorporate the remnants of the female Zhiwan Yan clan into his command, and the other was to start a business with Wang Yang to burn knives and other spirits.

The land of white mountains and black water is definitely a place where dogs freeze to death, although the products are abundant, but the harsh winter makes people often prohibitive.

Even these women, who have lived between the white mountains and black waters for generations, will take the lives of many old and weak women and children because of the cold every winter.

Even if a strong adult man gets lost in the mountains for hunting, he is likely to be frozen into a hard ice sculpture and lose his life.

However, Di Gubao's business with Wang Yang not only brought the kind of liquor that only needed one sip to make people feel hot from the mouth to the stomach, but also brought the kind of cheap cotton clothes and cotton cloth.

The warmth and comfort of cotton clothes are naturally self-evident, which can allow more old and weak women and children to survive the long winter. And the liquor of burning knives became the favorite of all female straight warriors at the first time.

Taking a sip in the cold wind, refreshing the brain, and being able to warm the whole body, with these two kinds of cold things, one inside and one outside, really made many people in the Women's Direct Alliance start to look at this Di Gubao differently.

In addition, the price of cotton clothes is only a fraction of that of fur, and a piece of fur, I am afraid that it is not enough to be a person's clothes, but it can be exchanged for several sets of solid and warm cotton clothes, why not change.

Anyway, fur doesn't have much appreciation value for them, female straight leopards, except for keeping out the cold.

And whether it is fur, or all kinds of specialties in the white mountains and black waters, they can be exchanged for the materials urgently needed by the female direct alliance from the hands of Nadi Gubao, which is the most important thing.

Especially when the Northern Liao changed its strategy and made it difficult for the Women's Direct Alliance, the business between Di Gubao and Song Ting became more and more prosperous, so that many female tribes were getting closer and closer to him in order to get more shares of materials and lower prices from Di Gubao's hands.

As a result, he, a profiteer who is despised by most female straight people, has more and more power to speak in the female straight alliance. And his repeated mention of the plan to seize the Liaodong Peninsula and exchange a large number of war supplies with the Great Song Dynasty.

Finally began to be looted by those who had no place to live, and felt more and more that they were about to be unable to live, and were forced by the army of Northern Liao step by step, and the female direct departments who could already smell the crisis were brought 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.

Jiaonan Port, with the investment of Wanhong Trading Company regardless of the cost, the construction of the wharf has basically ended, and the basic work of the shipyard is also complete, and there are already those shipbuilding experts hired by the heavy money under the guidance of the shipbuilding experts, began to make 3,000 to 5,000 materials of the level of sea ships.

It is believed that it will not take too long for Wanhong Trading Company to be able to have a large maritime merchant fleet. In addition, in the coastal areas, a large number of forgetful people who are familiar with the nature of the water and are not afraid of death have been recruited, and they are conducting training at sea to provide sufficient protection for the future navigation of the Wanhong merchant fleet.

"Sir, it has been more than half a year since the advent of our Yuanyou Shenwei cannon, since your majesty they have seen the power of artillery, the artillery workshop has produced a lot of sample cannons and carried out repeated test guns, and has obtained a lot of data. You see......"

It's okay not to mention it, but when he mentioned this, Wang Yang's face looked a little ugly. "I also looked at the data, which is pretty good, but it's still a little worse, you see, there are more than ten cast iron samples for the test gun.

But their limit, only two guns exceeded the firing limit of 530 guns before they were damaged. The rest did not exceed 500 guns, and even some of the barrels had cracks after they had fired more than 400 guns, and many of them had more than 400 guns, and the entire barrel was directly blown up when there were more than 400 guns......"

"What does this mean, it shows that if there is not a mistake 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 in the artillery workshop, and the raw materials are all iron collected from the smelters of various industrial departments near Bianliang, Tokyo, so what else can be wrong?" Zhao Ji looked at Wang Yang in a bit of a daze and asked.

"Isn't that telling the story?" Wang Yang spread out his hands and rolled his eyes at the goods. "There are so many smelting workshops in the Ministry of Industry, and besides, the source of iron ore in each smelting workshop is different, right?"

"Of course...... Hey, you mean to say that the reason why the results of the test guns that we have tried to produce are very different has something to do with this. Zhao Ji finally nodded in understanding.

"The workshops in the Ministry of Industry, it's not that I look down on them, but the craftsmen in those workshops are too complacent to innovate." Wang Yang said with some emotion.

"Just like the technique of using coal to make coking, Wang Mouzhi has been developing it for several years, but it was not until the beginning of last year that many other smelting workshops were willing to purchase private coking coal, except for this ordnance prison. And they are reluctant to purchase high-quality coking coal from our Wanhong Trading Company. ”

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

"Unexpectedly, this artillery has already been built, but this test cannon alone is a troublesome thing that can make people crazy, and it has been tested again and again, and every time it is tested, it has to be specially avoided in a deserted place, so that the forbidden army can first clean up the people within a radius of several miles......"

Listening to Zhao Ji complaining there with a bitter face, Wang Daguan was also very helpless. "That's already settled, better than throwing that cannon on the battlefield in case of a sudden explosion on the battlefield, right?"

"In that way, it is easy to disturb the morale of the army, and it may even make the war take a sudden turn, so sharpening the knife without cutting firewood is the truth."

"That's true, but sir, the results of those bronze cast Yuanyou Shenwei cannons, as well as those iron-tire copper core cannons, far exceed those cast iron Yuanyou Shenwei cannons, why don't you approve of making these better-performing artillery, but insist on building those cast iron cannons?"

"You should actually know this very well, the copper material for our Great Song Dynasty to cast money is almost insufficient, so use it to cast cannons...... Hehe, if you let those guys know that the casting cost of a cannon is hundreds or even thousands, aren't you afraid that those important ministers in the court will turn against you?
