In the evening.

"Husband?"

When Kou Liansha came out of the tooth shop, he suddenly found Guo Dan standing in front of the door, and asked curiously: "Why are you standing outside?" ”

"Because I want to experience what it's like to take you home, I didn't have a chance in the capital before." Guo Dan stepped forward with a smile, gently held Kou Zhuansha's hand, and asked, "Are you tired?" ”

Kou Zhuan Sha shook her head with a hint of shyness, and said excitedly: "I think this is the real job." ”

"Why?"

Guo Dan said curiously.

Kou Liansha pondered a little and said: "Most of the transactions in the capital are when they have been negotiated about the same, or even have been negotiated, but we will approve them, but here we will encounter many transactions every day, and we need to make a judgment in a very short time." Today, I met two jewelry workshops at the same time, they both hope that our dental shop can help them operate, and they are competing at the same time, which is difficult to encounter in the capital, but I heard Chenchen say that it often happens here. ”

She has only been working here for a day, and she feels how boring it is to do business in the capital, because the capital has a strong political atmosphere, and many big deals are not competitive, and there is a struggle for power later.

But in Weihui Mansion, there are countless competitions in Weihui Mansion every day, and the operation, publicity, lending, and transportation involved in this are all related to the tooth store and the bank.

At the end of the day, I didn't even get a chance to catch my breath.

Kou Zhuansha suddenly felt that she had become a novice, and she was not as good as Chenchen and Cao Xiaodong.

That's really the case, the two little guys work together as if it's seamless.

One is good at negotiation and the other is good at analysis.

In her opinion, it was so much fun.

Guo smiled and shook his head, but he was crying in his heart, madam, I'm here to take you on your honeymoon! How did you fall in love with work.

"Husband."

"Hmm."

"Do you think we can move to Weihui Mansion?"

"Wow! You're exaggerating a bit, isn't that? Guo Dan was stunned.

Kou Zhuansha said: "I think real businessmen should come to Weihui Mansion, and I can now understand why Zhou Feng and the others are gradually shifting their focus to Weihui Mansion." ”

Guo Dan said: "But you must know that if we are not in the capital, it is impossible to have Weihui Mansion." ”

Kou Zhuansha curled the corners of her mouth with a little regret, but she also understood that this was impossible, after all, Guo Dan wanted to serve the emperor, how could he move here, and asked, "Husband, how are you handling your affairs?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "It's even smoother than I expected, they don't seem to be willing to do business with the imperial court, especially when it comes to the sale of armaments." ”

Kou Liansha said: "This is normal, if it were me, I wouldn't be willing." At this point, he whispered, "Maybe that can't be called a sale." ”

Guo Dan said aggrievedly: "Speaking of which, it turns out that it is me who is abnormal." ”

Kou Liansha said, "I didn't say that. ”

"Haha!"

What is buying and selling, the two parties are equal relations, and the contract can protect the rights and interests of both parties, but when you buy and sell with the imperial court, the contract is completely invalid.

How did so many craftsmen in Daming suddenly disappear.

It's because there's no guarantee at all.

The contract is one hundred taels, but it is possible to get only thirty taels, because there are still several layers of layers to be peeled by the officials who handle it.

It is completely unpredictable how the deal will turn out.

It's not about whether you can do a good job, but whether you're unlucky or not, and whether you can meet an upright official, but generally when it comes to this kind of business, it's not some honest people.

Qin Dalong's concerns are very reasonable, if there is a little less, they don't care, try to do a good job, earn a little less, or even don't earn, they will be filial to the emperor, but if they get 200,000 taels at once, they can't stand it, because it may have to invest all the resources to produce.

But Qin Dalong and they didn't expect that Guo Dan would propose to split up with them.

When they returned, they immediately held a meeting to discuss it.

What to do?

"Do you think Guo Dan wants to monopolize this deal?" Qin Dalong said.

Zhou Jian nodded: "There is a possibility." ”

Qin Dalong said: "In other words, this transaction can make a lot of money." ”

Shi Meng said: "You say that, it's not right, let's give an explanation first, Guo Dan has always said that this transaction can make money, how can you say that it seems that Guo Dan is hiding from us." ”

Qin Dalong smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I don't know what you think?" ”

Shi Meng said: "I think separation is the best, you should remember the last time you produced bird guns for the imperial court, it was Guo Dan talking with those generals and adults, we can't even interject words, they have the final say on everything." Although Guo Dan is a good person, he gave us some subsidies and made us money, but the whole transaction seems to have nothing to do with us, so it can be seen that this is not what we should do. ”

The rest of the people nodded their heads as well.

"That's just as well." Qin Dalong smiled and nodded, in fact, he still had a little bit of ambition, for the previous negotiation, he hoped that Guo Dan would give them more protection, reduce more risks for them, and let them participate at the same time.

But how is this possible, Guo Dan is not doing charity.

They didn't know that for Guo Dan, this transaction was not about how much money he made, but about the necessary conditions for making a lot of money, and he did not pursue higher profits, but more advanced weapons.

Therefore, on the second day, Guo Dan went to the barracks.

"Where is Guo Dan?"

As soon as Guo Dan entered the barracks, he saw Li Rusong striding out of the house, looked left and right, and when he saw him, he immediately opened his arms and gave him a big bear hug.

"Haha! I really didn't expect you to be able to fulfill your promise so quickly, I really didn't believe the wrong person! ”

Oh, my God!

Guo Dan was almost out of breath when he hugged him, and with all his strength, he pushed Li Rusong away, and said with a smile: "If I am not sure, how dare I let the general shovel!" ”

Li Rusong was not only not annoyed, but said happily: "Is it that if I go to shovel for a few more days, you can give some more." ”

"Maybe."

Guo Dan shrugged.

"Haha.......!"

Li Rusong was so excited, with these 200,000 taels, their dream could be fulfilled, an army fully equipped with the best firearms in the world.

It's exciting to think about!

At this time, an old man walked out of the house, it was Li Chengliang.

Guo Dan immediately walked over and said, "The junior has seen Ning Yuanbo. ”

Li Chengliang stroked his beard and smiled, "I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." ”

Guo nodded with a smile, and said, "I wonder if Ning Yuanbo is used to it here?" ”

Li Chengliang said: "It's much better than the old man expected, but the old man has been fighting all his life, and this sudden return to the market is a little uncomfortable, so he often comes here for a walk." ”

"Understood, understood."

Rumble!

Suddenly, he heard a loud noise, and Guo Dan was suddenly startled, "What's the situation?" ”

Li Rusong laughed and said: "It must be Director Zhao who is experimenting with new artillery." ”

"Really?"

Guo said lightly: "Then let's go over and have a look." ”

When they came to a large open space behind the barracks, they saw many soldiers with all kinds of firearms loading ammunition or shooting.

Everywhere there was smoke of gunfire.

"It's kind of interesting to watch!"

Guo smiled lightly.

"It's kind of interesting." Li Rusong said excitedly: "If I don't listen to a few cannons now, I feel uncomfortable, this sounds really enjoyable." ”

Li Chengliang smiled bitterly: "You just have to test the ammunition here, and you will catch up with the Liaodong Army." ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "Really? ”

Li Chengliang nodded and said: "That bird gun is very valuable in the Liaodong Army, how can it be trained like this in peacetime, at present, the entire army of the Liaodong Army is only equipped with more than 2,800 gates, and it is far from being so sophisticated." ”

The tone was full of envy, he had come here two days earlier to see it, and he immediately thought that the original arms competition with interest groups had lost the future of the Liaodong Army, and if he had won cooperation with Weihui Mansion at that time, then the Liaodong Army would definitely take off!

Li Rusong said: "With this bird gun, and then look back at the three-eyed gun, it is simply unsightly, what firearm, is a hammer." ”

The Ming army really can't afford to use bird guns, most of them are made of shoddy muskets and three-eyed guns, these two of which are both metal tubular muskets, power, hit rate, and range are quite touching, and the Liaodong Army is probably equipped with more than 15,000 muskets and more than 7,000 three-eyed guns, and the proportion of bird guns is really pitiful.

Guo Dan smiled, and said to Li Chengliang: "Uncle Ning Yuan's words are wrong, this is saving money." ”

"Save money?"

Li Chengliang looked at Guo Dan in surprise.

"Advisor Guo."

At this time, Zhao Shizhen walked over and bowed.

Guo Dan bowed his hand back, and said with a serious face: "Director Zhao, you have spent a lot of money on the research and development of firearms." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Shizhen was stunned for a moment, and then said with an embarrassed face: "I... I'm too afraid to take care of the accounts. ”

He doesn't even care about the money he gets for food, how can he manage this, but fortunately, the account office never cares about money with him, so he is like a fish in water here.

Guo Dan said: "I know, but Director Zhao must give me an explanation today, to give me a very mature product, whether it is a bird gun or an artillery, we must ensure that we produce every bird gun, every artillery can suppress the enemy on the battlefield, so that I can receive more arms orders from the imperial court." ”

Li Chengliang suddenly realized.

This research and development does cost money, but the most expensive thing is actually shoddy, indiscriminately filled, produced, and not used on the battlefield, it is broken without playing twice, and it has to be rebuilt, the Ming Dynasty specializes in this kind of thing, they don't know, in fact, a mature product, is the most money-saving.

That little R&D fee is nothing.

Zhao Shizhen said very modestly: "I hope I won't disappoint Consultant Guo." ”

Now that he knows, this Guo Dan is his Bole, this tone is very respectful, and he no longer dares to show any official authority.

He took Guo Dan to a long table in the middle, only to see several birds of different styles on it.

Zhao Shizhen pointed to the left branch and said, "This is the bird gun used by the Japanese people." Then he pointed to the bird on his right and said, "This is a bird gun from the country of Rumi, and in the middle is the bird gun we developed according to the strengths of the two, and after testing, it has been proved to be enough to defeat the two." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the seven-foot-long bird gun in the middle.

As soon as Li Rusong saw this bird, his fists clenched, his whole body trembled, and he was excited, as if he had seen a big beauty.

Zhao Shizhen began to introduce to Guo Dan what kind of parts this bird gun is made of, the length, weight and size of the parts, as well as the range, rate of fire, hit rate, damage rate, and so on.

It's really a science man's style.

This was very rare in the Ming Dynasty.

Most of today's liberal arts students are about the same.

In fact, Zhao Shizhen was not so meticulous before, in fact, he was influenced by Guo Dan, because Guo Dan just wants to look at the data, don't brag with me about what you have and don't.

Zhao Shizhen said: "This bird gun relies on pulling the trigger to shoot, and its crosshair and power are already stronger than the bow and crossbow, and it is a ....... that can completely replace the bow and crossbow!" ”

Guo Dan took the bird's gun, some pictures of anti-Japanese dramas flashed in his mind, and he smiled casually: "If you put a bayonet on it, can it also replace the spear." ”

“......！”

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengliang, Li Rusong, and Zhao Shizhen were all stunned.

Guo Dan looked at them and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Zhao Shizhen woke up suddenly, and said excitedly: "Consultant Guo's idea is really wonderful, I think it is feasible, it will definitely be feasible." ”

Li Chengliang nodded thoughtfully: "The musketeers are most afraid of close combat, and a large number of knife and axe hands are generally arranged to protect them, if there is a bayonet on it, then even if the enemy is close, the musketeers at least have the strength to fight, wonderful!" Wonderful! ”

Li Rusong put one hand on Guo Dan's shoulder and said, "Guo Dan, you kid is really a genius!" ”

Guo Dan smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't be busy with joy first, if you install an extra bayonet, the cost will be higher." ”

Li Rusong said he: "You still care about this money." ”

"I'm a businessman." Guo Dan tilted his head slightly.

Of course, here, the old firearms have all been thrown into the trash, including what muskets and three-eyed guns, although Zhao Shizhen has also made some improvements, after all, this is the most equipped weapon in the Ming army, but Zhao Shizhen is really embarrassed to take Guo Dan to see.

Because those things are structurally destined to be inferior to birds, no matter how you change it, it's just like that, it's just a cheap, what identity is Guo Dan, will you try that cheap.

Zhao Shizhen took Guo Dan to the artillery test area again.

That's the most expensive thing.

"There are currently two types of artillery."

Zhao Shizhen said: "One is light, the other is heavy, light has a short range, small power and poor accuracy, but it can shoot quickly, and the damage in actual combat is relatively small, and it can be easily repaired. And this heavy artillery is also from the Furlong machine, and they are generally used for ...... on ships! ”

"Really?" Guo Dan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at the heavy artillery, which was really visible to the naked eye.

Zhao Shizhen nodded and said: "Its advantages are long range and high crosshairs, but it is generally used in siege warfare and naval warfare, and it is difficult to use it in field battles." ”

Li Rusong sighed: "It's just a little too expensive, because this artillery needs a lot of copper." ”

Guo Dan glanced at Li Rusong and said with a smile: "General, if we have ten artillery battalions in the Ming Dynasty, each with a hundred artillery pieces, do you say that we can beat the Mongols to the north." ”

Zhao Shizhen was frightened when he heard this, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, how can this artillery be arranged one battalion after another, each army has dozens of artillery, and it is already quite quite elite.

There are a hundred doors at every turn.

You're so rich!

Li Rusong was drunk when he heard this, and said: "It's not just the north, it will really hit them so much that they can't even find the sky, but... Is this really possible? ”

Guo Dan shrugged and said, "Who knows." ”

Rong Ma was dumbfounded all his life, and Li Chengliang was dumbfounded.

He also began to fantasize about how this war would be fought if we had ten artillery battalions and a bird team of 100,000 people.

It's so exciting!

After the visit, Guo Dan bowed to Zhao Shizhen and said, "It's really hard for Zhao." ”

The implication is that my money is not spent in vain.

Zhao Shizhen hurriedly said: "Actually, the biggest hero is Consultant Guo, not me." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "When did Director Zhao understand this kung fu of slapping horses." ”

Zhao Shizhen said seriously: "I'm not slapping the horse, I'm telling the truth, about this bird gun can actually be produced before, we don't have this technology, but because of the need for a very high production process, the cost is high, the manufacturing time is too long, and it is difficult to produce in large quantities."

But in Weihui Mansion, this is not a problem, and the reason is that the assembly line production created by Consultant Guo is currently more than ten times that of the previous one, and the loss is only one-sixth of the previous one, which is simply incredible! ”

In fact, the production technology, the Ming Dynasty is not nothing, but there are few people who master this technology, and all the components have to be done by one person, and the production is very slow, but the emergence of the assembly line can make the bird gun achieve large-scale production.
