Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Zhao Chuanxin, who specializes in treating foreigners, is a master with guns.

Whether a gun is good or not can only be determined by using it.

The lever rifle sent by Benjamin Goldberg has smooth lines and a stock made of yellow pineapple wood. It was found outside the customs and was later listed as a protected plant.

If you just look at the shape, it has surpassed the lever rifle made by the old man Browning, and it is in line with Zhao Chuanxin's aesthetics.

Zhao Chuanxin first figured out the safety mechanism of the offset locking of the bolt. When he opened the lever bolt, the tail was not exposed and the sealing was good. It was not easy for sand and dust to get in and cause malfunctions.

Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Where is the hammer?"

Benjamin Goldberg said: "There is no hammer, and there is a built-in firing pin, which is different from Winchester and Marlin rifles. There is no leaf spring inside, and the spiral circlip used is more durable. The rotating magazine, When loading, the bullet will rotate inside, which avoids some minor problems of Winchester and Marlin lever rifles. The main reason is that the bullet capacity will not be affected by the long ammunition, so pointed bullets can be used.”

Many lever rifles use round-nose bullets from pistols, which greatly reduces the flight stability and accuracy of the bullets.

Zhao Chuanxin touched a small iron pillar above the tail of the receiver and asked, "What is this? Can it bounce?"

Benjamin Goldberg said proudly: "Because there is no hammer, when the firing pin is ready to be fired, this small iron pillar will pop up, and you can tell whether it is loaded with your thumb."

Hiss...it looks so advanced. Zhao Chuanxin looked at the exposed brass surface outside the magazine, which had "0" written on it, and asked, "What is this?"

Benjamin Goldberg grinned: "Master, this is the remaining ammunition indicator. When reloading, the ratchet in the middle of the magazine will rotate. When the ammunition is full, it will turn to the 6 position. Every time you fire, it will rotate. Empty is 0.”

Sure enough, high-end.

Zhao Chuanxin loaded the .280 pointed bullet into the warehouse. He found it a bit laborious and could not guarantee the loading speed.

After loading it, he frowned and asked, "Can this bullet kill someone? And why is it only loaded with six rounds? Wow, the advantage of the lever rifle is half gone."

Not at least .300?

Moreover, many lever rifles are equipped with 15 or even 18 rounds. Of course, they are round-nose bullets.

Benjamin Goldberg shrugged: "Master, believe me, this bullet has great kinetic energy, is easy to control in bursts, and is smooth enough to fire frequently. Why do you need so many bullets when shooting on horseback? I didn't wait. After six rounds, I missed it.”

What he said made sense, and Zhao Chuanxin couldn't refute it.

He can circle infinitely while stepping on the Misty Traveler, but others cannot, and this gun is not designed for him.

Zhao Chuanxin collected this gun and took five boxes of ammunition.

"I'll ask Liu Huaqiang and the others to quote the price later, and I'll send Lubin Mansion officials to hand it over. There's no need to lose money and make noise, as long as you don't let the lions open their mouths to deceive your own people."

Lubin Mansion cannot be used in vain, Juanwang Technical College can also make money.

Benjamin Goldberg said with a smile: "Master, I hold the majority of the shares in the Hankou Concession Arsenal, and the pricing power is in my hands. They mainly earn wages and management and maintenance money."

"..." Zhao Chuanxin glanced at his apprentice in surprise.

Are his wings so hard now?

No, the master must quickly strengthen his own strength and suppress the arrogance of the brat.

He was very well-behaved at first, but he was killed first and then played later. After two more years of rebelliousness, he still won't go to Fangjiewa?

Thinking of this, Zhao Chuanxin waved his hands angrily: "Ah, okay, okay, hurry up and get out of here, I'm going to bed, and I have to go on a long trip tomorrow."

Benjamin Goldberg saw that the master was still the same master, moody and no one could guess his thoughts.

Before closing the door, Benjamin Goldberg thought of his mistress: "Master, won't you wait until my mistress comes back?"

"Haha..." Having said this, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly felt proud: "From now on, I will come back at least once or twice every month, so there is no need to wait."

Benjamin Goldberg scratching his head?

We come back twice a month, that’s four trips back and forth. Isn’t it too much trouble to travel thousands of miles?

……

Zhao Chuanxin left as soon as he said so.

The next morning, when the camels flying in the sky left the desert along the stone road to carry coal, the sun was about to rise.

The camel that was full of water was puffing out white air and walking slowly with its wide feet.

Zhao Chuanxin was not walking the same path as them.

Because he no longer wears fire-collecting armor and has no cloak to maintain stability, Xingyue said that winter would cause damage to Desert Root, and speeding without Desert Root would be risky.

It took Zhao Chuanxin two hours to arrive at Liangzhou City.

Liangzhou government office.

Wang Buying frowned.

Not only was he the magistrate of Liangzhou Prefecture, he was also in charge of Ganliang Military Preparation Road, Northwest Business Affairs Office, etc., and was in charge of five seals in total.

If you have to make a comparison, he is about the same as Zhao Chuanxin, and he is in charge of the entire military and political affairs in Liangzhou Prefecture.

The difference is that Zhao Chuanxin was "autonomous", but he had to obey the orders of the Qing court; Zhao Chuanxin lived alone, but he was loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

The old guy is fifty-six years old and his body is in good shape.

He was determined to do practical things, run new schools, engage in farming, manage military affairs and public security, and he also wanted to change the bad habits of local officialdom.

However, when I arrived in Liangzhou, I saw that I was rotten to the core, and there was no fuel-efficient lamp from top to bottom.

Simply put, Mei Shunan, the magistrate of Wuwei County, is a fucker. Many people call him Mei Bapi.

The exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes were as fierce as a tiger, and Wang Buying was powerless. He wanted to take care of it, but whenever this matter was mentioned, all his subordinates unanimously persuaded him: "It is the time when the imperial court is using money. If you make rash changes, you may cause a catastrophe."

Yes, the stamp duty cannot be reduced, and the people are unwilling to buy anything other than opium.

He could only advise and advise the people to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, to take their time and one step at a time.

He once served as the prefect of Changzhou in the south. Through his connections, he introduced silkworm seeds from the south, hoping to change the unhealthy local agricultural structure.

The effect is there, but not much. Otherwise, the anti-donation campaign would not have happened this fall.

When he was working on the new school, he sometimes had to give lectures himself to show that he attached great importance to education.

But when I went to teach that time, I found Mei Shunan flirting with a female teacher, which made Wang Buying angry to death.

His method of changing the bad habits of the officialdom did not work, so he could only set an example. When he took office, the local government would donate a sum of "sitting money", which could be as low as one thousand taels, and as high as several thousand taels.

But he didn't accept it.

The magistrate will not accept it, and the magistrate will be strong if he has no desires.

But the middle-level officials deceived the superiors and kept the subordinates colluded. He wanted to take care of it but was unable to do so.

Now that Cixi and Guangxu are dead, Wang Buying knows that the whole country is like a duck floating on water. On the surface, everything is calm, but in fact, there are powerful undercurrents surging below.

When I was thinking about what else I could do besides setting up a tight defense and dividing my troops to attack the thief's lair.

Suddenly there was someone in front of him.

Yes, suddenly there was an extra person.

Wang Buying was startled, and then heard the man say: "Don't scream, you will be easily beaten."

Wang Buying took a deep breath: "Who are you?"

"Zhao Chuanxin!"

As soon as the three words came out, Wang Buying was shocked: "You..."
