While Wu Zhi nodded repeatedly, his face was filled with joy.
"Everyone here is worthy of being our pillars on Shui Bo Liang Mountain."
"Such a difficult problem was solved in just a few words in your hands."
"My heart is so relieved, my heart is so relieved."
"Okay then, this matter is settled."
"As for the reward amount, just choose a more auspicious number."
"Eight hundred and eighty taels of silver, what do you think?"
You must know that this amount of silver is no longer considered a small amount of money at this time.
After all, an ordinary family's monthly expenditure is only about two taels of silver.
This 880 taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live for 440 months!
There is a saying that goes well, there will be brave men under heavy reward.
This proverb was most powerfully proven after Wu Zhi's reward notice was distributed.
Within three days, the blacksmiths in the state capitals near Shuibo Liangshan were mobilized.
One by one, blacksmith shops are no longer open, and blacksmith skills are no longer learned.
Whether it is a mature master blacksmith or an apprentice working in a blacksmith shop.
At this time, everyone came outside Zhu Gui's hotel and asked to show their skills.
As for Dry Land Kulu Zhugui, facing hundreds of strong men, he didn't show any panic on his face.
He just took out a stack of leaflets from the counter and walked out of the hotel.
On the flyer, the specific requirements for the construction of bicycle wheels were written.
When Zhu Gui distributed the pile of leaflets to the blacksmiths.
All the blacksmiths couldn't help but look at each other, and then began to discuss quietly.
Although among these people, there are many young apprentices who have only been in the industry for a few months.
But most of them are old blacksmiths who have been working for several years, ten years, or even decades.
But they were very confused about what was described on the paper.
Because they have never heard of that kind of wheel, let alone seen it.
So under this premise, if they are allowed to create it rashly, what is the difference between it and playing tricks on them?
Of course, this idea generally exists in the minds of most blacksmiths.
But when they expressed their thoughts to Zhu Gui.
Zhu Gui's next words made those who continued to make noise instantly shut their mouths.
"I don't think I need to say more about what exactly these eight hundred and eighty taels of silver represent, but everyone will understand."
"With just ten days of hard work, you can get an opportunity to live happily for the next ten years."
"Except for me, where else in the world can such a good thing be found?"
"So now, I have made all my requests. If you agree, you can go home and start work immediately."
"If you are not satisfied, then just leave and I won't say anything."
"As for the deadline, I'll give it fifteen days!"
"Fifteen days later, our boss will come over to check whether the things you have made are up to standard."
"When the time comes, everyone he is satisfied with and declared qualified will receive this amount of silver."
"Okay, if everyone has no problem, please disperse."
Although everyone heard the same words.
But their moods and expressions on their faces are different.
There are doubts.
Because these people really can't guess what a wheel with such a narrow cross-section and large diameter can be used for.
Although the iron wheels are quite strong, if used on a carriage, they cannot withstand the weight of the entire carriage.
But if it is not used on a carriage, what is the real use of this wheel?
There are people who worry.
Because for these people, they don't even consider what the so-called boss wants to do with this wheel.
Because this matter has nothing to do with them.
What they were worried about was whether they could make such a wheel with their own abilities and receive the reward.
If they can't make this kind of wheel within half a month.
Then they not only lost the iron material, but also delayed more than half a month of the construction period.
This is really a big loss for ordinary blacksmiths.
As for the rest, their faces were full of excitement.
Because among these people, almost all are young apprentices.
Little experience, poor craftsmanship, and delusion of getting rich overnight.
So they simply can't see what's so difficult about making that kind of wheel.
So much so that what I was thinking was a little more relaxed, which is also a reasonable thing.
Just like that, the selection of blacksmiths for Shuibo Liangshan came to an end.
Next, what Wu Zhi and others need to do is to wait quietly on the mountain for news.
this day.
Wu Zhi was patrolling Liangshan when he suddenly thought of one thing, that is, he had not assigned the task of making simple grenades yet.
It is undoubtedly the best choice to leave this matter to Hong Tianlei Lingzhen.
Because on the Liangshan Mountain in Nuoda, if one person could be selected who knew the most about firearms, there would be no one other than Ling Zhen.
And when Wu Zhi called Ling Zhen over and told him about the simple grenade.
Ling Zhen frowned and thought for a long time, but never said a word.
"Brother Ling Zhen, do you think this simple grenade is not feasible?"
Ling Zhen shook his head slightly and sighed.
"Brother, actually this thing is extremely simple for me."
"But if it is mass-produced and used in front of the two armies, its power will not be very great."
"Maybe it's just a little more powerful than those big artillery firecrackers."
"If the enemy soldiers only wear coarse linen and linen clothes, the damage caused may be okay."
"If the enemy wears armor, even just the most ordinary leather armor, then this simple grenade will not be able to cause effective damage to the enemy."
"So brother, if you want me to see this thing, it's better not to build it."
"Although it is easy and quick to use, the lethality is really not enough."
"Even if half of the bullet is stuffed with iron sand and half with gunpowder, its lethality will not be very good."
"These days, I have been responsible for the training and production of the red cannon."
"The red cannon's shells are so big, and the damage it causes is very average."
"What's more, what about simple hand grenades that are just the size of a palm?"
Although Wu Zhi and Ling Zhen didn't get along for too long, they also figured out each other's character.
This Ling Zhen is a straight man who says whatever he wants.
He will neither curry favor with superiors nor cheat.
