Chapter 337: Mother-in-law has a top trick
In Lin Hui's imagination, the process of handing over the musket atlas to the four princes may hide many possibilities such as mysteries, undercurrents, and secret confrontations, but who knows that it is smooth sailing and safe all the way.
It's not so much that Doctor Kobayashi gave the atlas to the past, but that he handed over the backstage. Because except for Lin Hui who was in front of him when he entered the door, leading the Yan family to go with him, and Yan was leading the way at other times, Lin Hui was more like a ...... Attendant.
Of course, Lin Hui volunteered to be a follower. This kind of thing, she doesn't look like mixing, it's better for everyone to forget about themselves.
Arms are, of course, big business, and big business with huge profits.
But you also have to weigh your own pounds, if the amount is not enough, you will accidentally become cannon fodder.
If the Fu family is willing to come forward, it would be the best, and it would be quite moisturizing to drink some soup. What's more, isn't the Fu family his own husband's family, and the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders.
Yan took out a name card and handed it to the four princes.
Lin Hui didn't see the specific content on the post, but after the fourth prince saw the post, he immediately showed a look of "So that's the case".
"Mr. Lin has been hiding from me so hard." The fourth prince smiled and quipped: "No wonder I have always felt a little weird, how can the Jiuxuan real person be a doctor, and he still knows many strange things." The flying skill is not enough, and even the musket and other foreign things are proficient, it turns out that Mr. Lin has a deep relationship with the Fu family! ”
It seems that the four princes automatically made up for the relationship between Doctor Kobayashi and the Fu family, and probably regarded Doctor Kobayashi as a cover or an intermediary for the Fu family.
"Huh." Lin Hui laughed dryly, noncommittal.
After that, there was nothing to do with Lin Hui.
The fourth prince is not a political novice like Lin Hui. knows a lot about neighboring countries, and even knows a lot about the third wife of the Fu family, Yan, at least more than Lin Hui, the future daughter-in-law.
Listening to the back and forth negotiations between the Four Princes and the Yan Clan, Lin Hui felt quite interesting and understood a lot of information.
It turned out that Yan's background was very particular. Yezhou is a fairly large place in Zhangwei, close to Dazhuang in terms of territory, and most of the people living in it are Tantan people. The people of the Tantan tribe are fierce, both men and women are the same, and the leader is called Tusi. Yan's mother is the current female toast.
In fact, the official title of the Yan family should be Yan Duohu. It's just that after Yan Duohu married into the Fu family, he was referred to as Yan.
Hearing the surname of 'Yan Duohu', a strange syllable, Lin Hui couldn't help but look at Yan twice. Sure enough, I found some alien breath. The main thing is the tall nose bridge and large, deep eyes, which are still somewhat different from the beauties of the Central Plains. A half-moon-shaped silver ornament on the head is also different from the local style.
The Fu family is also much larger than the previous statement of strict understatement.
Because the family motto of the Fu family for a hundred years is to concentrate on doing auxiliary things. The goal is to be a great minister rather than dominate the world. Therefore, if the Fu family is out. can get the trust of Renjun.
The contemporary Fu family has reached its heyday. In Zhangwei. There are as many as three officials in the Fu family, including Fu Junzhi, the squire of the Ministry of Rites, who is strict and solid. In Hanchong and Dazhuang, there are also children of the Fu family as officials. But there is no official position yet.
For this kind of temperament of a family of children being officials in different countries, Lin Hui easily accepted it. The national situation in this era, in this continent, does not have a large country like China, and it is still a situation in which medium-sized countries check and balance each other.
Just like the Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Jin was a general in Wu (Sun Quan's side), Zhuge Liang was in Shu (Liu Bei's side) as the prime minister, and Zhuge was born in Wei (Cao Cao's side) as the assassin's history, so there is a saying that "one door and three parties are the crown, and the world is glorious". It's just that because of the popularity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in later generations, Zhuge Liang's reputation has become even louder.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to share the risk. The general trend of the world, divided for a long time must be combined for a long time, no matter how many feet you have, anyway, the children of the family have a foothold in each 'foot', then they will protect themselves.
The Fu family's approach is understandable, and there are many people who follow suit. However, the imitation has neither the background of the Fu family, nor the courage of the Fu family, and most of them are just painting tigers and not becoming anti-dogs.
Now that Doctor Xiaolin has shown the hole card of the Fu family, and Fu Junzhi, who has a place in the Great Power Zhangwei, has surprised the four princes.
Although the four princes now have great hope of inheriting Dabao, if they have the support of the Fu family, then not only will they have a greater chance of succession, but also the future throne will become more and more stable!
Sure enough, there were some things that should have been a topic between elephants, and Lin Hui consciously acted as an ant, only listening to it without saying anything, silently calculating the amount of silver in her heart.
In the end, the Yan family and the four princes agreed that the number of trial production was not counted, and for every musket produced by Dazhuang in the future, it would be necessary to pay ten taels of silver to the Fu family for "technical support fees".
Of course, Yan didn't use such a lofty word as 'technical support', but Lin Hui couldn't repeat their round-and-forth statements, anyway, that's what it meant.
In return, the Fu family will take out part of the phased results of the previous rigorous trial production in addition to the atlas for the use of the four princes. Of course, the core rifling technology and the repeating mechanism, which can greatly improve the accuracy, cannot be taken out, but metallurgy and bullet production alone are more than enough.
"Hmm...... Will they falsely report the amount so that they can give less money? On the return carriage, Lin Hui couldn't help but raise her concerns.
She could only worry about the silver.
"No, it won't." Yan Shi talked about the matter, was in a good mood, and explained to his future daughter-in-law in detail: "Now the spear they bought from the Gran Kingdom is one hundred and one taels. The cost of trial production by yourself is also around sixty or seventy taels. We will collect ten taels from each of them, which is not much. If you fake, you can't save much, but if you are discovered, you will offend the Fu family, and the gains outweigh the losses! This kind of thing would not be done by a smart person like the Fourth Prince. ”
As he spoke, Yan's eyes suddenly crooked and he smiled: "Maybe they will overstate the number more." ”
"More?" Lin Hui was puzzled: "Is it possible to pay so much money to please the Fu family?" ”
"That's right," Yan nodded: "Not only can it please our family, but it also falsely reports the number of more people, and it can also make people misunderstand that Dazhuang's musket is stronger." ”
Yan said 'our family', as if Lin Hui had been regarded as a family.
"But if Dazhuang's force is strong, will it ...... Uh, expanding the territory? Lin Hui actually wanted to ask if it would threaten Zhang Wei, where the Fu family was located.
"It's fine. Even if Dazhuang expands its territory, it does not dare to rush to Zhang Wei. Yan didn't care: "When I go back, I will sell the things in my hand at a high price to the Li family, and I won't be afraid." ”
Of course, Lin Hui didn't know what the hell the Li family of Dingguo Gong was, so he thought that it should be Zhang Wei's military general who was in charge of the production of muskets. (To be continued.) )
