Chapter 442: Nothing Gained
General Niu and his men stayed in Beiyang City for a long time and used guns produced in the Valley, which received unanimous praise.
After they used their money to buy the plane, they became short of money, so they finally discussed with Siming to use other materials to pay off their debts.
Siming was very happy, after all, these things were also the materials needed to make guns and ammunition.
The autumn harvest is approaching, and several surrounding warlords have to return home. This is their top priority.
Juanjuan sent Governor Niu to the train station and gave him a hug: "Grandfather, see you next time."
"Okay, see you next time." General Niu looked at Si Jinchen, who was becoming more and more steady, and smiled with satisfaction.
The autumn harvest in Beiyang City is already the second batch of grain harvested this year.
Si Gu waited until all the military governors had left before he came to Siming and said, "Brother, I've made it clear with Xiang Yutang."
"Really?" Siming's eyes were full of excitement.
"He asked us to go to the chemical plant." Si Gu looked at him and said.
Siming took his two children to the chemical plant.
Liu Cheng'an was putting a black vest on a dummy. When he saw them coming, he just raised his hand and greeted them.
"Wait a moment."
Siming saw Xiang Yutang fiddling with various guns in the distance.
He walked towards him with two children: "How sure are you?"
"It's hard to say. I asked someone to bring all the existing guns here. Let's try it together!" Although Xiang Yutang was very confident, the guns nowadays were updated very quickly.
I still have some reservations, so if it doesn't work I can only try something else.
Seeing that Liu Cheng'an had already put the vest on the dummy, he gave his seat to Siming: "General, why don't you come in person?"
Siming didn't waste any time. He picked up the pistol on the table, loaded it, and fired several shots at the dummy wearing a bulletproof vest.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen covered their ears and stood not far behind him, watching with their eyes wide open.
Liu Cheng'an saw that he had emptied his magazine, then raised his hand to signal him to wait a moment.
He took off the bulletproof vest from the dummy and held it in front of them: "Overseer, take a look."
Siming took the bulletproof vest and checked it. There were no bullet holes in the front or back. "Not bad."
"General, try other guns." Liu Cheng'an took the bulletproof vest and put it back on the dummy.
Adjutant Qi also ran over and said, "Commander-in-Chief, there are no bullet holes on the dummy."
"Very good, then let's try other guns." Si Ming waited until Liu Cheng'an put on his bulletproof vest.
Siming picked up the rifle and also fired an entire magazine.
After trying this back and forth until the last two guns, some marks were left on the bulletproof vest.
And the last two guns happened to be designed by Si Jinchen and his team.
Adjutant Qi ran over and said, "Commander-in-Chief, we left a mark on the dummy, but we didn't penetrate it, so we did cause damage."
Siming turned to look at Xiang Yutang: "Can it be mass-produced?"
Xiang Yutang nodded: "As long as Mr. Liu can produce, there will be no problem on my side."
"No problem on my side." Liu Cheng'an has now mastered the method, and it is not difficult to make it.
"Brother, are you planning to sell the bulletproof vest?" Si Gu waited until he finished trying it on before speaking.
"I don't plan to. Sometimes you have to keep some cards for yourself." Siming is not stupid. The cost of these things is not low.
They may not be able to afford it, so they use it as their trump card.
Si Ming took Juanjuan and Si Jinchen home, and several little guys ran out of the house.
"Jay."
"elder brother."
"Woof woof. Little master." Two chubby little pine trees ran out of the house.
Because he ran too fast, he rolled down the stairs.
He turned over, stood up, shook his hair, and quickly pounced towards Juanjuan and Si Jinchen.
Juanjuan squatted on the ground and touched this one and that one: "Big Hair, Second Hair."
The puppy stuck out his tongue and licked their faces non-stop, almost washing their faces clean.
The three little kids also came running over and hugged the two of them tightly, refusing to let go.
Songsong looked at the puppy whose tail was about to turn into a propeller and said, "Woof woof. This is definitely not my puppy."
Ruanruan slapped him on the head: "Woof woof. If it's not yours, then whose is it?"
"Woof woof. Yours." Songsong's voice became softer.
Si Ning looked at the triplets who were holding the two of them tightly and said, "Mom, they like their older brothers and sisters more than they like me as their mom."
"Do you feel like your child has been snatched away now?" Old Madam Si looked at her with a smile.
"I would feel uncomfortable if someone else snatched me away, but I'm very happy when Juanjuan and Achen snatched me away."
"It's a blessing for us that the children have such good relationships with each other." Si Ning leaned against the pillar beside him with his hands folded, a smile on his face.
Miao Jiu stood behind her and put his arm around her waist: "When the situation stabilizes, we will leave them to Juanjuan and Achen, and I will take you out to play."
Si Ning turned her head and looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "Are you willing to leave Juanjuan behind?"
"Then leave it to Achen. We'll take Juanjuan with us, not these naughty boys." Miao Jiu really didn't want to tire his own daughter.
"I'm afraid that Juanjuan will take everyone with her." Old Madam Si knows Juanjuan too well.
Miao Jiu was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "This little guy just likes to keep everyone in his heart."
Si Ning reached out and pulled his face: "Isn't that what you like about her?"
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen brought their triplets, and the two puppies were having a lot of fun playing in the yard.
"Commander-in-Chief, phone call." The butler hurried out.
Seeing that the housekeeper looked unhappy, Siming did not ask any more questions and went into the house with him: "What's going on?"
"Regarding the autumn harvest, many places have no harvest at all, and some places have only half the yield, or even less than before. It's getting serious right now."
The butler told everything he knew.
As soon as Siming picked up the phone, he heard Chen Yongnian's hearty laughter: "Haha, this is so satisfying! The Taisho Empire has gained nothing."
"This year, their grain production is less than one-third of previous years, and now the people of the Taisho Empire are protesting."
"When I heard that, I wanted to call you, but I went to inquire about the grain production in other places, and guess what."
"Don't keep me in suspense." When Siming heard his words, he knew that the output must be different.
Chen Yongnian didn't keep it a secret: "In those areas where the people are not treated well, the yield will either be halved or it will be very low."
"They even came to me to ask about it, and I didn't hide the fact that some places had high yields and some places had low yields."
When Juanjuan said those words, Siming already knew that there would definitely be differences in the rice grown.
It will not be like Beiyang City, where it can grow quickly and plant two seasons at a time.
The wheat yield in Beiyang City is also very high now, and the Cai family not only helps them process it for free.
The price of flour was also lowered, allowing people to buy cheaper white flour.
