If someone wants to buy a cow, they can't just bring a sack full of spoons, can they?
Ma Lin believes that the most suitable currency is precious metals.
They are highly valued as soon as they are produced.
They can be stored for a long time without deteriorating easily.
As for how they should be minted, he's not quite sure.
No matter how much he wants to mint coins, there's no precious metal.
No way.
And acquiring precious metals, who knows how long that will take.
So in Iron Furnace Village, bartering is still ongoing.
Regarding muskets.
Ma Lin now wants to produce flintlock guns.
The cartridges used are paper cartridges.
Paper is used to pack the projectile and gunpowder together.
How should the ignition method of a flintlock gun be?
Actually, similar to previous matchlock guns, there's a metal scoop on the exterior of the barrel that contains gunpowder and connects with the gunpowder inside the barrel.
