Chapter 945： success

The arsenal is not in a hurry, because it is estimated that we will have to wait until June next year to get the cannon. Andre took the deposit two days ago and left the ship.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, when it was their turn to pay, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household were not willing to spend so much money to buy cannons, so Qi Haoran's application was rejected, and Qi Haoran was even more satisfied and began to wait for Ender. The strong ship came back.

Fan Zijin took advantage of the New Year's Eve, and put their foreign goods on the shelves. Before the New Year's Day, they made a lot of money. He simply asked Guan to press the goods in advance, and wait until the New Year's Eve before releasing them. The price can be raised by then. few.

This is a business matter, and in officialdom, Fan Zijin is also doing well. Because of the ban on the sea, the commercial activities in Guangdong are active, and fishermen can go into the sea to fish. Everyone's life is much better than in previous years, and Fan Zijin helped a lot last year. The fishermen's reconstruction of fishing villages and construction of fishing villages are very popular among the people, and they got an excellent grade in this year's assessment.

Qi Haoran was thinking about the cannon that was about to be scrapped in the den of the heroic bandit Fujita, and wanted to avenge his previous interception of the cargo ship. He planned for half a month. The night before the New Year's Eve, he took the navy to touch the pirates quietly, Their bandit den is over.

Although Fujita Hero finally escaped with some people, they also wiped out more than 1,400 enemies and occupied the opponent's den, which contained a lot of gold and silver jewelry.

And Qi Haoran also got the cannon.

Qi Haoran directly asked the artisans to take the cannon to the Shaozhou Arsenal and asked the craftsmen to study it.

This artillery has been in service for a long time, and it looks mottled on the glossy surface. The craftsmen have no psychological pressure to disassemble it.

Qi Haoran finished this matter and let Zhou Zhou pay attention to the movement on the sea, so he happily went back to celebrate the New Year.

Xiaoxiong brought his two younger brothers to the gate to greet his father. As soon as he saw him, he jumped up and rushed over, "Dad, have you caught Hiroshi Fujita?"

"No, let him escape." Qi Haoran caught the little bear who was almost unable to stop, patted his head, and took a son with one hand to take them to the mansion, "I will catch him next time I see him."

Bear is a pity.

"But Dad gave him a sword. In the short term, he can't do any more evil. If the pirates around him hadn't rushed over like crazy to block the sword, he might have died."

Mu Yangling came out just to hear these words, she glared at him, and said, "Don't talk about such **** things during the Chinese New Year and festivals. Also, the tiger head and the little lion are still young, don't pass on violent knowledge to them."

Qi Haoran shrugged at his three sons and led them inside.

Lichun was bringing people out of the kitchen constantly, and the table was filled up in no time.

Qi Haoran asked, "Zijin and the others won't come and spend time with us?"

"It's agreed that we'll be together, and I asked the girl to invite her before, but I don't know why I haven't come over for so long. Should I ask the girl to take another look?"

Qi Haoran nodded.

Gu Yu ran into Fan Zijin holding Xiao An's hand before he went out. Xiao Xia was walking behind with Xiao Fu in his arms.

Gu Yu was busy welcoming people in.

Qi Haoran had already washed his hands and face, he asked curiously, "Why did you guys come here so long?"

Fan Zijin took out a stack of drawings from his sleeve and said, "Look, this is the blueprint of the sound box drawn by Xiao An."

Qi Haoran opened it and looked at it. Although he couldn't understand it, he also knew that this thing was very complicated. During this time, Xiao An was tossing about it after going to school and playing. Every time he came back, he saw the tiger head and the little lion beside him. While playing, Xiao An sat cross-legged on the blanket and continued to study his sound box. It is said that A Ling almost rounded the sound box in Guangzhou city and brought it to Xiao An to disassemble.

Qi Haoran widened his eyes and asked, "Do you know how this thing makes a sound and how does it spin?"

Xiao An straightened his chest and nodded, "It's not difficult to rotate, the difficulty is pronunciation. I didn't understand it before, but now I know it, Fourth Uncle, you see there are engravings in the sound box, I call it sound pattern, this is There is a steel bar, this steel bar will make a sound when it runs across the sound pattern, which is similar to when we strike a chime, I am so stupid, I have never understood it.”

Qi Haoran muttered, "Grandpa didn't even want to understand at such an age."

Mu Yangling laughed and asked, "Has your husband taught you the rhythm recently?"

"Yes, yes," Hutou replied in a rush: "Mr. taught us to recognize various musical instruments. He said that when we have learned the basics, he will start teaching us to play the piano."

The little lion pushed the tiger's head away and said, "Don't talk, let Brother Xiao An say that this is about our pocket money."

The tiger head closed his mouth immediately.

Xiao An explained: "Mr. taught us to recognize musical instruments, among which there are chimes. The master said that these chimes are rare now, and most of them can only be seen at court banquets. I remember that there was one in my father's warehouse. The man brought it up, and the gentleman played it briefly. I saw that there were nicks on it, very similar to the nicks in the sound box. I showed it to the gentleman. The gentleman said it was the sound pattern. , Now I know how to make sound boxes, I can also make sound boxes for different tracks, our music is much better than theirs.”

The little lion stepped forward and grabbed the blueprint and stuffed it into his elder brother's hand. He asked eagerly, "Brother, how much money can we make by making a sound box?"

Little Bear patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely make a lot of money. They all sell 22 taels. We can make a lot of money by selling 15 taels. We don't go overseas, and there is no cost on the road."

The three little ones were relieved and started to get together to plan what they would do with the money.

Mu Yangling asked Little Bear, "What are you going to do with this sound box?"

"Mother, please help me bring Heizi and the others over. They have already graduated and can do carpentry in the shop, but because they are young, the shop owners bully them and keep their wages very low. But their skills are all taught by old craftsmen, and they don't hide anything, so they are very good."

Little lion took the time to say a word for him, "Mother, eldest brother is right, Brother Heizi and the others gave us a boat last time, and it was beautifully done. Many people envy us."

Xiao An said: "Heizi and the others can help us make sound boxes, and we can save a lot of money on our wages."

Hutou said: "And Brother Heizi is much older than us, we can take him to fight and calm those older children."

Qi Haoran couldn't help but glared at Hutou, thinking that it was New Year's Eve tonight, and he didn't beat anyone.

Mu Yangling agreed, "Next time the Harvest Grain Shop will send me account books, I will let someone bring them over, and they will be arranged in Zhuangzi when they come, but I will not stop you from making and selling sound boxes, only One, you can't play with things and don't forget that your main task now is to study."

The four children nodded fiercely, for fear that Mu Yangling would regret it the next moment.
