Xiong Chumo was dumbfounded: "My lord, I'm afraid" "There is a problem" Lin Zifan frowned: "If the grenade wants to ensure lethality, it must need metal, otherwise what is the lethality?"
The lethality of a grenade does not come from an explosion The damage range of the grenade explosion is really pitiful, and its real effect is that after its explosion, it is only one or two grams, but the amount and speed are amazing These shrapnel flew in all directions, almost 360 degrees without dead ends, and after being shot into the human body, they caused non-negligible casualties, and even directly penetrated deadly organs such as the heart and the heart "But, Lord Lin" Xiong Chumo smiled bitterly, and the six sisters of Li Gangdan were also a little hesitant.
"Our Datang, lack of iron" She explained: "Even the weapons of many of our soldiers are made of grinding the bones of fierce beasts, just because our Datang lacks iron" "Even weapons and armor are not enough, we want to use a lot of iron ore and metal to make grenades, but I'm afraid that the above will not agree."
Lin Zifan: "" Mom, I almost forgot about it.
Lin Zifan is a little painful, this is a good end of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be a lack of food, money, people, salt, and iron It seems that there is nothing lacking, and if you really want to name one, it is that there is no shortage of women The lack of iron in Datang is particularly serious, and even weapons and armor cannot be assembled for the whole army, and it is indeed unrealistic to ask the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to take out a large amount of iron to make grenades.
Even Lin Zifan, as the secretary of the military department, could hardly agree to this.
After all, weapons and armor are the capital to save lives on the battlefield, and Datang is not enough, and it is not enough to divide a part, isn't this murderous "If you buy it, how much does it cost?"
Lin Zifan is still a little unwilling, the grenade is too important in terms of strategic significance, once it is made, its combat effect is much better than simply using gunpowder to engage in some land mines or something "It's very expensive, we can't afford it" Xiong Chumo smiled bitterly: "Qin is a big iron producer, it is said that there is a mountain range in their Qin country, almost all of which are iron ore, so they are also selling it to the outside world." ” "But iron represents weapons and armor, and all the prices are very expensive, especially for countries like our Datang, which are extremely short of iron, and they are even more expensive and scary."
"But even so, we will spend a lot of revenue every year to buy iron ore, but even so, iron ore is still far from enough."
"And Xia Guan also heard that in recent times, the price of iron ore in Qin has increased a lot again, and it seems that the emperor of Qin is expressing our amount."
When it came to speaking, Xiong Chumo suddenly shut up, a little embarrassed.
"Express your dissatisfaction with our Datang cutting off her second son" Lin Zifan smiled: "This matter is because of me again" At the beginning, he cut off the seventh prince of Wei and the second son of Qin, and he knew that this matter would not be over.
But I didn't expect that these two countries would choose to fight back with economic sanctions Salt and iron are extremely scarce in the Tang Dynasty, one is related to the people's livelihood, and the other is related to the army.
However, these two are in the hands of these two countries, and now one has withdrawn and the other has raised the price, which is completely guarding the throat of Datang In other words, for the poor Datang, economic sanctions are the most effective and ruthless method, but Datang has not been able to solve it "Your uncle, you can't kill you if you mess with labor and capital" Lin Zifan was laughing, but even he didn't know if he was laughing angrily or really laughing.
"Lord Lin, then do we still make grenades?"
Xiong Chumo was suddenly a little frustrated, she had thought of something similar to the function of a grenade when she learned that Lin Zifan had made gunpowder.
Therefore, in the entire Tang Dynasty, except for Lin Zifan, she can best understand the ability and importance of grenades But now, the project that has not yet started is about to run aground?
"Why don't you do it" Lin Zifan snorted coldly: "Zhong Ting" "Ahh Li Zhongting was a little stunned, and it took a while to realize that Lin Zifan was calling herself.
"You go to the Ministry of Industry and come back with a hundred catties of iron, just say that I said it, whoever dares to stop it will beat me, and I will bear it if something happens."
"Yes, my lord" Although Li Zhongting was a little cowardly, she still went, this is the benefit of being honest, she never thinks about the consequences, anyway, whatever the adult says, she will do.
Of course, this is not that Lin Zifan wants to harm her, but this matter is very important, and he is currently a member of the first grade, and there is also the empress's edict, he can mobilize all the resources and personnel of the Manchu Dynasty, if he wants a hundred catties of iron, there are still people who dare to stop him, then he should really do it Even if it is time to make trouble in front of the empress, he is also the party that takes advantage of it.
"Lord Lin, this hundred catties of iron, it shouldn't be much."
Xiong Chumo also felt that it was no problem for Lin Zifan to ask for a hundred catties of iron, but the problem was that how many grenades could be made into a hundred catties of iron was not enough at all Especially for the whole army to be equipped, it is simply not enough to plug the gaps between the teeth "We have already opened our mouths with Your Majesty and the Manchu Dynasty, which is equivalent to making a military order, no matter what, we must first make the sample, so that Your Majesty can see the results."
Lin Zifan opened his mouth indifferently, and Xiong Chumo also reacted, saying yes again and again.
"What will happen later, we will talk about it later, but now, Qin Guo's behavior has made the officials very unhappy, and labor and management have to clean them up" In this era, men should follow the three obedience and four virtues, and those who speak foul language or something should be disliked.
But Lin Zifan burst into foul language, Xiong Chumo and other women, but they didn't think that Lin Zifan was vulgar at all, but felt that he was very attractive at the moment.
"Serious Lord Lin, it's really charming, tsk" Xiong Chumo admired in his heart.
"If you can sleep with Lord Lin for one night, even if you die, you will be willing" Li Gangdan's heart was itching Lin Zifan naturally didn't know what they were thinking, and now, he just wanted to clean up the Qin State and let them know what economic sanctions were "But then again, Datang really doesn't have any necessities that the Qin State needs, and it won't work at all to sanction the Qin State through taxes or something."
"So I can only take action personally and get some things that the Qin State needs, so that I can gradually sanction them."
"Tsk, I wanted to make fireworks after the grenades came out, but now it seems that the order needs to be changed."
The fireworks are simple to make, with the guidance of Lin Zifan, they will inevitably be made soon, and when the time comes, the road to wealth in Datang is the real announcement begins:
