This revolver is said to be rare, but it is also rare.
There is no blast furnace, and the ratio of steel is unknown. Han Du can guarantee that no one in the world can build this revolver except Ming Dynasty.
But to say that it is not rare, it is not rare either. Now with the Ordnance Bureau's manufacturing capabilities, it can still make hundreds of them a day with all its strength. The main parts of this revolver are cast in molds, and then
Through manual polishing by craftsmen, each component is polished to exactly the same size. How fast is the mold casting? Thousands of them can be cast in one day, mainly because polishing is very time-consuming.
There is no way, there are no machine tools now, everything has to be slowly polished by the hands of craftsmen, that's all.
But even at this price, Han Du was still not prepared to sell it to Zhao Xian and others.
Just when Han Du was about to shake his head and refuse, Wen Yuan on the side suddenly interjected: "Since my uncle can't talk about the money problem, why don't you tell me what kind of difficulties the common people and others can help? If there is any use for the common people and others,
Please forgive me, uncle."
Wen Yuan's words were also based on the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse. After all, in his opinion, what problems in the great wealth of the Ming Dynasty could not be solved by Jing Haibo, but they could solve it?
But what surprised a few people was that Han Du fell into deep thought after listening to Wen Yuan's words. ??
Is it possible that there will be a twist in the meeting?
Han Duwen asked after a while before he recalled his other purpose of going to sea. There were two purposes of going to sea this time. The first was of course to wipe out the Japanese pirates. The second was, if possible, to see if he could find some food.
Whether it's robbing or buying, it would be best if we could get some food back. Originally, we had already planned the destination for Korea, and that was Jiaozhi.
Jiaozhi is famous for its grain. The famous Champa rice can be harvested three times a year. Handu was originally planning to enter Changnan in the name of suppressing Japanese pirates and prepare to get a batch of grain back. But now it seems that it is not
It's impossible. The warship can only carry so much weight. Since it contains gold and silver, it naturally can't carry food.
Besides, even with the carrying capacity of three warships, they couldn't carry much food back.
In fact, the climate in Luzon is similar to that of Jiaozhi, and it may be possible to achieve three crops a year.
"Uncle, there is indeed a problem. If you can solve it, it is not impossible to have a revolver." Han Du said thoughtfully.
Zhao Xian and others were overjoyed and asked quickly: "I would like to ask my uncle to tell me that if there is any use for the grassroots and others, the grassroots and others will not hesitate to die."
"It's not that complicated." Han Du stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Xian and others from expressing their loyalty, and asked gently: "I want food, do you have it?"
Food? It’s that simple.
Zhao Xian and others couldn't believe their ears. There was so much food here. Why did the ancestors of Zhao Xian and others settle down here and didn't want to leave?
Isn't it because the richness of the products here far exceeds their imagination, and they think there is no better place in the world than here?
If it were a normal amount of food, they and the others would be able to provide it. But since these words came from Han Du's mouth, the amount needed would probably not be small.
Zhao Xian pondered for a while and handed over his hands.
Asked: "Back to my uncle, the grain farmers and others have saved a lot. I don't know how much my uncle wants."
When he heard that there was food, Han Du didn't look happy at all.
He said in a calm tone: "Five million dan."
Sure enough, when Zhao Xian and others heard this, their expressions suddenly changed and their eyes widened.
After a while, Zhao Xian smiled bitterly and said: "If it is one million dan, the common people can barely make up for it even if they live frugally. But with five million dan, there is really nothing they can do."
Han Du was still overjoyed when he heard that he could collect one million dans of grain. However, he still said calmly, "It's just five million dans of grain. If you can do it, I will make the decision and give you a hundred revolvers."
Ten thousand rounds of ammunition. In addition, you don’t have to pay for the natives and waist knives."
Since there is hope, Han Du will go all out to seize it. At this time, it is undoubtedly a wise move to abandon gold and silver and choose food. And even if Zhao Xian and others gave these gold and silver to Han Du, Han Du will now
There is no way to transport it away.
Wen Yuan saw that Han Du needed food so urgently, so he stepped forward and said: "Uncle, if the common people and others have so much food, then they will naturally take it out without saying anything. But the common people do not have so much food. I think.
If you want food, you need to go to Java and other places to buy it. And this is not something that can be done overnight. It takes time to collect it slowly. Five million dan is really too much. I am afraid that even if the grassroots people scrape the ground of Java and other places, they will not be able to do it.
I can’t get it together.”
What you have and what you need to buy are different.
If you take out the food you have, Wen Yuan and others won't feel bad. As for food, you can just plant it in large quantities when needed. Anyway, as long as you keep enough food for a few months, you can harvest a large amount of food in a few months.
Therefore, Han Du's announcement of five million dan did not frighten Zhao Xian and others. What made them embarrassed was that they had only had little intention of storing grain in the past, and they had never thought of the need to store so much grain.
But it's different when you go shopping. Even if the food here is not valuable, you still need to spend real money to buy it. Coupled with the transportation back and forth, the cost is not low.
Therefore, even if Handu's conditions are favorable, they still have to bargain. After all, purchasing food requires them to spend real money, so naturally they can afford less, just a little less.
"How much can you put together?" Han Du asked seriously.
Zhao Xian and others looked at each other, and finally Zhao Xian raised three fingers.
"The common people can raise up to three million dan."
"Okay, just three million dan." Han Du left the decision and was too lazy to bargain with them.
"But you must prepare one million dan first. After I return to Beijing, I will send the navy to transport it away. You must also collect the rest quickly, and I will have people transport it away one after another."
"I obey your uncle's instructions." Zhao Xian and others were overjoyed.
I originally thought that Jing Haibo was going to ask for three million dan at once, but he didn't expect that he could prepare it in batches. This way it would be much easier. Now the second crop of grain is about to mature, and it will be a lot if it is harvested. Wait until the third crop.
During the third planting, if we increase the planting, we may be able to collect three million dan without having to purchase it from Java at all.
If they could collect the food by themselves, they would have taken advantage of it. This revolver is rare, but it is also rare.
There is no blast furnace, and the ratio of steel is unknown. Han Du can guarantee that no one in the world can build this revolver except Ming Dynasty.
But to say that it is not rare, it is not rare either. Now with the Ordnance Bureau's manufacturing capabilities, it can still make hundreds of them a day with all its strength. The main parts of this revolver are cast in molds, and then

If they could get the food together by themselves, they would be at a huge advantage.
