Making money is not an easy task, especially making a lot of money!

The Third Master has heard that those Huaixi nobles would spend thousands of taels of silver to marry a concubine, and a pair of jewelry on the face, and the best would cost eight thousand taels of silver!

Grandma’s, when can I make money to get married?

The third master was very desperate, but he was full of fighting spirit. The precious son he collected did have two tricks. He spent a lot of money to buy saltpeter in the army. He did so, and he swept out the best nitrite soil in the toilet!

What else is there to say, let’s do it!

The third master didn't care how bad the smell was. He took people every day, from house to house, in the toilet, pigpen, cowshed, horse house... and turned upside down.

Although the villagers don’t know much, some people have mentioned that there is a warm spring in the mountains and there is a sulfur mine around it.

Liu Chun took people up the mountain to look for it, and as expected, he got a good sulfur, charcoal, and all three ingredients were complete, so there was no problem in making gunpowder.

The rest is how to package and ship.

Didn’t I make a water-cleaning filter barrel last time? This time, I was still the original crew and continued to make wooden barrels, but there was an extra process, which was to apply moisture-proof raw paint on the outside of the wooden barrel, apply a layer of beeswax inside, and then I made a wooden frame to protect the wooden barrels, which not only prevents bumps and explosions, but also makes it easy to carry, killing two birds with one stone.

Liu Chun also made a batch of special wooden barrels, which contained partitions. The three raw materials were separated. If you want to use them, you just need to stir them evenly in advance, which can reduce the risks during transportation.

In short, Liu Chun did his best to make gunpowder safe and reliable.

When he was delivered to the army, he also attached a simple operating manual, half of which were written and half of which were pictures, explaining the precautions.

In addition, each barrel of gunpowder has the name of the craftsman and the name of the acceptance personnel.

If there is any problem, you can directly contact the parties to hold them accountable!

Liu Chun is very satisfied with his craftsman spirit.

Feng Sheng fought a war for his whole life and used troops countless times. He claimed to be knowledgeable, but the old man was still stunned and dumbfounded when he brought military supplies to such a fine level!

He looked carefully at the labels on the outside of the wooden barrel, and the craftsmen, acceptance personnel, production time and weight were all clearly clear.

Each poke is fifty kilograms, a total of 200 barrels and ten thousand kilograms!

All are just the same!

It's really amazing!

Duke Ying Guofu Youde rushed over from outside, his old face was shocked and happy, and his beard was raised.

"Duke Song, I have verified that these gunpowder are more than twice as good as those in our army!" Fu Youde waved his fists, "It's so powerful that after burning, there is not much scum. OK, it's so good!"

Feng Sheng smiled and said, "Brother Fu, you forgot to say the same thing."

"What?"

Feng Sheng sighed, "The price is good! This ten thousand pounds of gunpowder can be as good as the ordinary 50,000 pounds! In this way, this guy said it was a discount!"

Fu Youde widened his eyes and swept over. Liu Chun simply looked at the roof of the tent without saying a word. Fu Youde snorted, and he circled around the gunpowder, grabbed a wooden stand from time to time, looked carefully and then.

After walking around for a long time, he said lightly to Feng Sheng: "I think we'll order another 100,000 pounds!"

"What!"

Feng Sheng, who was drinking tea, almost choked, "I said Brother Fu, are you right?"

Fu Youde said proudly: "The common people often say that they would rather eat a bite of fresh peach than a basket of rotten apricots! As long as the things are good, what if they are expensive? War is not an ordinary thing! After so many years, how many brothers have been injured in the explosion because of poor gunpowder? As a general in charge of the army, you can't joke about the lives of the brothers! As long as the things are good, not to mention the price of five times, ten times will be enough! This money is worth spending!"

Fu Youde became more and more excited as he spoke. Feng Sheng rolled his eyes frequently, but he didn't even notice it. He was still talking nonsense, which almost made Old Feng faint!

You are so honest!

How can I not understand such a simple truth?

The problem is that the little boy is right in front of him. Do you praise gunpowder like this in front of him and send him over to knock on his head?

If you have such a pig teammate, you can't live anymore!

Old Feng had to put down the teacup and said, "Just as Duke Ying wants to order another 100,000 kilograms. However, the military expenditure is tight and I can't afford that much money for the moment. Do you think you can... on credit?"

He is worthy of being an old fox, just a sloppy person!

Liu Chun shook his head quickly, "Duke Song Mingjian, the quality of Aries' mouth can be guaranteed by strict management and generous wage incentives. We are just starting out. If there is no cash, it is difficult to guarantee quality discounts. The grass-roots people don't want to smash the sign, but..." Liu Chun smiled, "Otherwise, the military expenditure is tight. I wonder if Duke Song can allow Aries' mouth to build an iron smelting workshop? Just consider it to compensate for the cost of gunpowder?"

Liu Chun finally expressed his plans.

Processing military rations, sewing purses, making filter barrels, gunpowder... these can only be considered small-scale quarrels and are not worth mentioning.

If you want to make a fortune, you have to make a big deal.

Since Emperor Wu of Han, he has implemented a salt and iron monopoly. By the Ming Dynasty, the salt law has become very strict, especially under Lao Zhu's rule, Liu Chun dared not make any decisions.

He put his mind on the iron!

During the magnificent anti-Yuan uprising, the princes from all over the country vigorously developed iron smelting, especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the best among them. After the Ming Dynasty unified the country, there were fifteen official iron smelting stations alone.

It was particularly rare that the Ming Dynasty allowed private mining and iron smelting.

This also has something to do with the environment at that time. The world was settled and there were wasteland everywhere. The court encouraged farmland, and the arable land was inseparable from farm tools, which formed a huge market demand. The court's official iron plant could not meet the demand, so it was imperative to allow private iron smelting.

However, iron ore coal is all strategic materials and the imperial court has strict control.

There may be no problem with small fuss, but if you want to make it bigger, you must have a stable supply of raw materials. In other words, the court must nod.

Liu Chun's plan was to build his own iron smelting workshop in the name of military use.

"Brother Fu, do you understand? This kid is so concise! He wants me to make me favoritism and fraud, and it makes money on us!" Feng Sheng leaned leaning, humming in anger.

Fu Youde was openly aware, "I said, Duke Song, don't be too stingy. You know that the craftsmen in the Iron Smelting Institute of the imperial court have been seriously fleeing. Even if they didn't run away, the weapons they made were uneven, and they were no longer as good as the first few years. Once the world is peaceful, there will be no doubt that the civil and military play. No wonder Your Majesty wants to kill people. Even I want to kill those bastards!"

Liu Chun continued to look at the sky. He didn't dare to talk randomly about Zhu Yuanzhang, nor did he dare to question the national policy. He just wanted to be responsible for making money!

"Boy, can you smelify iron?" Feng Sheng spoke slowly.

When asked about the major, Liu Chun hurriedly slapped his chest and said proudly: "Iron smelting is an introductory course for our Guo family's studies, it's nothing difficult!"

Feng Sheng snorted, this brat is just bragging!

"Salt and iron are the foundation of the country. I dare not be good at it. I should wait for the sacred intention to make a decision!"

"Ah?" Liu Chun was shocked, "If you want to alarm Your Majesty for such a little thing?"

Feng Sheng suddenly smiled and said, "Of course not!"

"Then, where is my iron smelting workshop?"

Old Feng said, "I didn't understand, no!" The old man raised his tone and cursed with a smile: "Boy, don't think your father is my old subordinate. Just do whatever he wants. Tell you, let me restrain myself! Just make gunpowder with peace of mind, don't think it's useless."

Liu Chun was in tears and felt like he had reached the relationship. It was better not to go to the scene. It was a big loss!

At this moment, someone suddenly rushed in.

"Reported to the Duke of Song, the Marquis of Yongchang attacked Qingzhou and returned victoriously, but..." The visitor looked frightened and wanted to speak but stopped.

"Just what?"

Feng Sheng was shocked. Lan Yu was a powerful general. If there was any mistake, it would affect the morale of the army!

"It's just that Yongchang Hou and his subordinates are not suitable for the local environment, vomiting and diarrhea, and their condition is critical..."
