According to the calculation of a cart with 52 thousand silver, hundreds of carts in front of you mean 10 million silver
What Kelly Y Zhou didn’t expect was that in addition to most of these carts to hold silver, there are still a few parts containing gold and valuable antique calligraphy and paintings.
If these carts and property departments are converted into silver, they can be worth at least fifteen million and two thousand dollars.
Wei Zheng looked at a face of shock and Kelly Y Zhou directly asked, "General, these properties are all your property in Shanxi …"
After receiving a positive answer from Wei Zheng, Kelly Y Zhou’s face was shocked and quickly replaced by anger
Then, with a full face of hatred, he said, "I didn’t expect that there were so many corrupt officials in Shanxi and so much silver was embezzled … Now I finally know how there are so many homeless people in Shanxi who can’t even eat a full meal. The silver in the hands of ordinary people was eaten by these corrupt officials …"
After some regrets, Kelly Y Zhou continued, "But it’s time for these silver to come …"
Speaking of which, Kelly Y Zhou directly regarded this place as the governor’s house and reported, "Governor, you don’t know … After you left for more than 20 days, our governor’s silver was spent like running water."
"Although the first shipment of refined salt workshop and glass workshop brought us more than two million silver cars, the silver is still not enough to spend …"
"If you come back five days late, the governor’s treasury will be spent completely …"
"Now, with these silver theories, whether the Tiger and Leopard Army is expanding or expanding its equipment division can let go of its hands and feet and never slow down because of the silver problem …"
Of all the layouts in Shanxi, the most important thing for Weizheng is the Equipment Division.
Without the weapons and ammunition continuously produced by the Equipment Division, the Tiger and Leopard Army could not expand its troops.
There is no way for the Tiger and Leopard Army to expand its forces, so there is not enough strength in its own hands to challenge the court to protect its Shanxi territory and make all the arrangements …
I heard that Kelly Y Zhou asked the defender of the Equipment Division to ask for a bright eye and ask questions directly.
"What’s the matter, strategist? Didn’t I say when I left Datong that his plan can be stopped? Only expanding the equipment division can make the equipment division start production quickly. This plan can’t be stopped …"
Kelly Y Zhou quickly shook his head and explained, "General, you can rest assured that the equipment division is important to us. I have almost kept the equipment division for a month …"
"After a month’s development, the firearms workshop, the most important part of the Equipment Division, has started production. Not only that, we have fired several small iron mines to ensure that iron materials should be used …"
"We have worked hard to increase the production capacity of the firearms workshop from 1,000 rods per month a month ago to 3,000 rods per month now … According to this development momentum, the production capacity of the firearms workshop will directly increase to 5,000 rods per month after the workshop owned by the Equipment Division is put into production six months later."
"Not only that, but the company’s artillery workshop has also been put into production … so that we can produce musket barrels. The artillery workshop has successfully built 20 medium-sized Franciscan guns with refined iron …"
"Compared with the imperial artillery, the artillery we built is not only light in weight but also longer in range because of the thin wall of the fine iron gun …"
"In addition, General, your special account of the flowering ammunition workshop has also created a sample …"
"After the test, although some shells exploded only after landing, what’s more, there were some hidden dangers in the direct explosion … but according to the feedback from the artillery regiment, this kind of flowering bomb is very powerful. I hope that the ammunition mill will produce and equip a small number of troops for training …"
After listening to Zhou Yuan’s introduction from the Equipment Department, the expression of the defender’s face has changed from calm to excitement at first, then from excitement to excitement, and finally from excitement to shock …
Then he directly ordered Kelly Y Zhou, "I’ll leave things to you here, strategist … I decided to go to the equipment department immediately … I’m uneasy if I don’t really look at these equipment …"
After a day of galloping, I finally walked into the former Lingqiu county government and now the equipment department’s resident.
Although Wei Zheng, who came in a hurry, was old but full of energy, Wang Tie, director of the Equipment Department, directly showed a complicated expression of surprise and surprise.
Quickly walked to the front of Wei Zheng and knelt down and said excitedly, "See the Governor …"
"Wang Lao …" Wei Zheng, a skilled old man, has always called Wang Lao.
Just kneeling in the Wang Tie, Wei Zheng quickly walked into the county government to help him …
Then a face of regrets said, "Don’t kneel at such a big age … You can keep your body and continue to work for the Equipment Division to produce more and better weapons and equipment for the Tiger and Leopard Army …"
Everything that Wang Tie said out of excitement was full of trembling.
Wei Zheng stared at the excitement and said, "Please rest assured that the governor will help the adults manage the equipment department when old bones can still do it for several years …"
Wei Zheng nodded his head and spoke frankly when he said the specific purpose of his coming. "Wang Lao came in such a hurry because I was eager to see the achievements of the equipment division after listening to the introduction of the military to the equipment division …"
"Now there is still an hour before it gets dark. Now I want to have a look at the artillery made by the artillery workshop and the flowering bombs produced by the ammunition workshop …"
The first thought of a steel gun barrel with a weight of only 500 Jin is that this is not the battlefield heavy mortar that often appears in later generations …
Yes, the only difference is that this heavy mortar has no special support, and the barrel is thicker, and the wall of the barrel is thicker, and there is a small hole in the tail of the barrel for inserting the matchrope …
Chapter two hundred and fifty-six Mortars
Patted in front of a piece of cold artillery tube wall after two eyes flashing WeiZheng direct openings ordered.
"Ma, come here with a bullet. I want to try how powerful this gun is …"
Wei Wei ordered the four-foot gun barrel to be quickly leaned against a sack full of sand at an angle of about 30 degrees with the ground, and at the same time, several iron bars for fixing the gun barrel were also severely plunged into the ground.
Not only that, but also the tail of the gun barrel was specially fixed to avoid the strong recoil of the gun from hurting the gunner.
Wei Zheng stared at a full cup of tea, and the seemingly simple artillery was ready to fire.
At this moment, the gunner who was really responsible for firing finally hurried over.
Wang Tie ordered that the black powder that had been screened into granules was carefully poured into the barrel of the gun by the gunner, and then a wooden special tool was used to tamp the last painted black iron shell before the gunner put it into the barrel very carefully.
After a series of dazzling movements, a piece of matchrope with a length of only three inches was quickly inserted into the gun chamber with a certain amount of black powder by the gunner from the small hole at the tail of the gun barrel.
It is not until this time that this gun is really ready for launch.
Although this process is very complicated for the post-WHO syndrome, Wei syndrome still looks forward to seeing the specific power of this artillery.
As soon as the torch was close to the matchlock, the matchlock was ignited and sparkled. Mars quickly looked at the barrel along the matchlock.
When Mars disappeared with sparks, a deafening explosion suddenly reached Wei Zheng’s ears and feet, and the earth could not help shivering with the explosion.
Of course, this is only heard by Wei Zheng.
