Chapter 65 The Arms Deal

Chang Yu, who was huffing, returned to the house in the west of the village, part of the family was still busy cooking porridge, and the other wave was cleaning up the yard, seeing that his face was not good, everyone was cautious, only Chunxiang whispered: "If you don't return to the palace for two days, isn't it too sinful to be cold this day?" ”

"Is this called suffering?" Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "Do you know the special forces...... Forget it, you don't know if you say it" said and pondered for a while and said to Luo Tang: "Send someone to buy a few big pieces of meat and give them a meat dish at noon."

After ordering all this, Chang Yu called Chunxiang and a few people aside and whispered: "Come with me outside the southern city to pick up the goods in a while, there can't be many people, but it is also possible to use the knife to be afraid?" ”

"As long as the boss is here, you will use the knife, what is there to be afraid of us?" Chunxiang and Jiang Quan are really close to Zhu Zhechi, and they are most deeply influenced by Chang Yu, but Lao Hu's face is hesitant, after all, he is an old man.

Haha, Chang Yu chuckled and patted Lao Hu on the shoulder: "Teasing you, just catch the car."

But soon the three of them felt that Chang Yu was not teasing them, because they gave three black scarves, and each of them was given a steel knife, which was left by the three robbers yesterday, and then drove the three cars to go out.

As soon as I opened the courtyard door, I saw a group of men standing at the door, thinly dressed, with a cowering expression: "Ask, this, is this Changfu?" The westernmost family in the village must be right."

Looking at this group of people, Chang Yu pondered for a while and knew the reason, it should be the family that his grandmother bought for him, and he counted thirty-two people slightly, good guy, now he only has fifty-eight!

"Yes, I'm Chang Yu, but Grandma Sun called you here?"

The first person nodded vigorously, took out a stack of papers and handed it to Chang Yu, Chang Yu glanced at it, knowing that it was all a deed of sale, nodded slightly, and thought to himself, this grandmother is generous enough this time, and the silver will be confiscated and sent over.

"By the way, Master Chang, grandma asked me to give you a message, saying that I have time to drink tea, and I am very worried about you."

Chang Yu almost fell down, so he said, just thinking about the silver.

Looking at this group of people, Chang Yu fell into thought, according to the previous law of secrecy, this group of people didn't know that the new family would be transferred here in the future, and the group of Luotang family members who knew that the tunnels and low-key materials were going to be transferred, so they couldn't enter the courtyard with this wave of people.

"You go into the city, go to the Nanshuiguan Hutong in the Guangqu Gate to find the Huang Mansion, and wait there," Chang Yu pondered for a while.

"It's Chang Ye" and the first few people hurriedly responded, not daring to express their dissatisfaction, after all, they ran out of the city for more than ten miles and just arrived at the land and wanted to return to the city.

Chang Yu's eyes were sharp, and he could see that a few people couldn't help but secretly look at the courtyard, their eyes were very earnest, and they swallowed saliva dryly, it turned out that they were tempted by the aroma of porridge in the courtyard, and they were reluctant.

However, it was impossible for them to enter the courtyard, but the pitiful appearance still made Chang Yu understand compassion, and took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the person at the head: "Go back to the city quickly to get some food, and you must report to the Yellow Mansion before noon."

Everyone was overjoyed, took the silver taels, and rushed away after saluting Chang Yu.

In the middle of the afternoon, there is a village in the southwest of Zuo'anmen in the south of the city, which is famous for firing kilns like Panjiayao, but it is called Liujiayao.

In the Ming Dynasty, the east of the capital is more prosperous, the main reason is that the end point of the Grand Canal is in Tongzhou, Jingdong, and then the Tonghui River is opened, the trough ship can directly enter the pond in the capital from Tongzhou, the so-called draught by water, Jingdong has always been prosperous, on the other hand, the south of the city is extremely desolate.

Liujiayao is even more dilapidated, a lonely village within a radius of a few miles and Panjiayao in the east of the city can be described as difficult brothers.

On a small road in the east of the village, there are three horse-drawn carriages, which are full of hay, and there are more than a dozen men in black clothes and black hats around them, all of whom have sharp eyes.

"Why haven't you come yet?" A short man looked impatient and paced beside the car.

"It should be soon, his side...... Hey, isn't that over there? As he spoke, he pointed into the distance when he saw three carriages coming slowly.

"Be careful" The short man casually glanced at him, and more than a dozen people around him approached the grass cart and were about to smoke the guy.

"Don't be so nervous, nothing will happen" The man who had just spoken hurriedly stopped and smiled slightly.

"Brother Zhang, is that surname Chang really so reliable? I keep asking you where he came from, but you are always silent, we didn't know which of the deals we did before, and this time I don't know the bottom of my psychology."

That's right, these people are from the soldiers and ruffians who are guarding and stealing in Beijing, and the short one is Jia Dazhi of the Fifth Military Battalion who had met Chang Yu that day, and the person who talked to him was Zhang Wuwei of the emperor's army.

"This I, Zhang, can pack a ticket, this person has no problem" Zhang Wuwei looked at the carriage in the distance and patted his chest to reassure.

"I also think there's nothing wrong with that little brother, not like a treacherous person" It was Luo Xingwei from the 3,000 battalion who spoke, and it could be seen that he had a good impression of Chang Yu.

Moreover, Jia Dazhi rolled his eyes: "People can't look good, there are a few good people who dare to buy weapons...... his face changed as he spoke, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen people around him took out steel knives from the car, looking at the distance with an extremely cold expression.

Zhang Wuwei didn't stop this time, his brows furrowed deeply, because he also found out that the coachmen of the three carriages were all covered with black scarves, which ......

"What for?" Jia Dazhi stood with a knife in his hand, waving his hand to stop the three carriages.

The carriage stopped abruptly, Chang Yu jumped down from the first car, and smiled: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm delayed for the time being, I'm a step late" said and walked forward with his fists clenched.

Stop, the knife bearer stretched out his hand to stop him, and fell to the ground with a pop, Chang Yu continued to walk towards Jia Dazhi and the others, there are not many people who can stop him these years!

Zhang Wuwei smiled, Jia Dazhi and the others were thoughtful, their expressions were solemn, they didn't expect this young man to be so powerful, and he threw his subordinates into a dog with him.

"Brother Chang, what do you mean by that?" Luo Xingwei stretched out his hand and pointed to the carriage behind Chang Yu, meaning to say, what do you want to do with your face covered

"A few house slaves are too ugly, they can't see anyone, I'm afraid of scaring you" Chang Yu smiled, then walked to Jia Dazhi's side, reached out and touched the grass on the grass cart a few times, and then pushed away the hay on the top, revealing a stack of bright steel knives.

Pulling out a handful, the void slashed a few times: "Not bad, not bad" Chang Yu praised: "Is there only a knife?" ”

"Three hundred steel knives, fifty bows, three hundred arrows, as well as twenty crossbows, thirteen firearms, Brother Chang will inspect the goods a priori" Luo Xingwei said with a look, and a few people around him immediately pushed off the hay on the remaining cars, revealing the weapons in the car.

In the era of cold weapons, the firearms at this time can only play auxiliary, melee knives are the mainstay, and long-range arrows are the sharpest, Chang Yu picked a bow and arrows to wind, easily pulled open and aimed at a tree with a thick bowl mouth more than ten meters away...... And then the arrows flew!

Pouting and shrugging his shoulders, Chang Yu didn't feel embarrassed at all, he didn't know how to shoot arrows, you must know that becoming an archer is not a simple thing, and you can't do it without a few months of practice.

But the crossbow is different, Chang Yu, who is holding a strong crossbow in his hand, has an appreciative smile on his face, this thing can definitely be called the king of contemporary soldiers, although it is not as easy to wind as a bow and arrow, but the operation is simple and does not require training, the main thing is that it is powerful, and the range can reach as far as six hundred meters, and it is simply invincible in medium and long-range combat.

took out an arrow and wound it, aiming at the tree in the distance, Chang Yu pulled the trigger, and with a bang, he hit the target, and the tail of the arrow was still buzzing and shaking, which showed that it was full of strength.

Chang Yu couldn't put it down, praised it again and again, put it down after half a ring, picked up a firearm, and frowned after playing with it.

The firearms of the Ming Dynasty were very developed, with nearly ten types of muskets alone, not to mention all kinds of artillery, mines and even mines, and the technology was at the top level in the world at that time.

But for Chang Yu, who has been a soldier and played with guns, the gun in his hand is simply a scum, and it is not even as good as the match gun he made when he was a teenager.

It takes half a day to charge, half a day to burn the wire, it can't be used on rainy days, and the main accuracy is still very poor, and I finally understand the reason why this thing has not formed a major weapon in this era, but if a special musket team can be set up to concentrate on the attack when the two armies are facing each other, the effect should be good.

"Brother Chang, how is it, are you still satisfied?" Luo Xingwei thought that Chang Yu was going to try the firecracker, but after waiting for a while, the product was just playing with it in his hand with a look of disgust, and he asked impatiently.

"I couldn't be more satisfied," Chang Yu put down the firearm and turned around with a satisfied smile.

"If you are satisfied, then pay the silver, three hundred knives each one two five for a total of four hundred and fifty taels, fifty bows for you fifty taels, three hundred arrows for you one hundred and fifteen, twenty crossbows and arrows for thirty taels, thirteen guns and gunpowder bullets for a total of twenty taels. A total of seven hundred taels, Brother Chang is right."

Chang Yu nodded, secretly sighing that it was really cheap.

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are all lifelong, and the wages are also squeezed very much, when the silver in Africa is not circulated, the purchasing power of silver is amazing, so that the price of weapons is low and scary, according to the purchase price in 1602 and the purchase price of the Qing Jiaqing period, it can be seen that a copper gun, or an iron fist mouth gun is 0.5 taels, the price of a bird gun is only 0.9 taels, and the hundred sons are only 1.3-1.7 taels, as for the bullet, a catty is only about 0.03. As for the bow, each bow does not exceed one or five cents, each arrow is about four dollars, and the war knife is about two taels.

And these guards and self-stolen rats, almost all of the weapons they got out were sold in half, and the three carts of knives, arrows and guns added up to only a thousand taels, which seemed cheap, but in fact, it was already a high price, mainly because of the first cooperation with Chang Yu, if it was a familiar customer, they would sell it at a price of only two or three percent, and the national foundation of the Ming Dynasty was stolen by these rats, and they would sell it anyway.

And there are a lot of customers, don't ask who buys, there are a lot of buys, except for those ruffians who mix with the underworld will buy, and the big customers are those who are wealthy and even noble.

Someone asked, isn't Xungui not allowed to hide armor?

The law also stipulates that murder and corruption are against the law, so why do so many people defy the law?

"There is a delay today, I didn't bring enough silver, pay two hundred taels first, and how about I go back to the city to get the rest later?" Chang Yu didn't bring much silver when he left the city in a hurry last night, thinking that he would go back to the city early this morning to get it, but he was delayed by the eunuch army, and he hurried over for fear of missing the transaction.

"Hey, I knew that you kid wasn't so honest" Jia Dazhi, who had been silent, suddenly shouted and pulled out a steel knife: "Do you want to eat black?" ”

As soon as he shouted, more than a dozen people around him immediately drew their knives to surround Chang Yu, and at the same time stared at the three carriages not far away, and sure enough, seeing their movements here, Chunxiang and the three of them hurriedly drew their knives and jumped off the car to run over.

Chang Yu raised his hand to stop them, and then smiled at Jia Dazhi: "Boss Jia, what about a few hundred taels of silver, can't you believe me, can't you still believe Brother Zhang, can you ask him if I can put this bit of silver in my eyes?" ”

"Dazhi, what are you doing" Zhang Wuwei saw that the scene was like this, and his face was full of impatience in front of Chang Yu: "I told you that Brother Chang is not that kind of person, and he really can't look down on this bit of silver" He didn't lie, in his opinion, Chang Yu's random reward that night was one hundred taels of silver, and he was a powerful eunuch in the palace, and he also had a boxing industry under his hands, where did he see this.

"But the cash spot that was said to be good, now regrets it, and why are those three people wearing black scarves, what kind of ugly face can't see people, who are you fooling?" Obviously, Jia Dazhi and Zhang Wuwei are old friends, but they are really relieved, after all, they are doing private things, and if they are caught, they will be beheaded.

Chang Yu couldn't help but feel funny, the reason why he let Chunxiang and the three of them mask was mainly because he didn't want them to be exposed and reduce the exposure clues, and it didn't matter if he had already shown his face.

Hey, with a long sigh, Chang Yu made a gesture towards Chunxiang, Chunxiang nodded and turned around and walked over with a burden from the carriage and handed it to Chang Yu.

"Here are two hundred silver, take it first, and let Brother Zhang go back to the city with me to get the rest, and deliver it to you?" Chang Yu said again: "Otherwise, I will only take two hundred taels of goods now, a few of them are waiting here, how about I take the silver and then pick up the rest?" ”

After saying this, Chang Yu also put on the attitude he should have, and Jia Dazhi glanced at each other and nodded slightly as acquiescence. glanced at Zhang Wuwei: "Brother Zhang, then turn around......"

"I promise this, how about the remaining silver before dark to be delivered to you?" Zhang Wuwei said and glanced at Chang Yu

Chang Yu nodded slightly at him, meaning that there was no problem.

Okay, Jia Dazhi put away the steel knife, his expression was slightly embarrassed: "Don't blame Brother Chang, it's our first time trading, you also know how much risk your brother is taking to do this bit of, don't blame, I didn't scare you just now, right?" ”

Chang Yu smiled: "It's not weird, it's not weird, it can't scare me, brother, if I really have a black heart, I don't need to bring a helper, I will eat you myself."

I'll rub it, it's so provocative, there's no way, Chang Yu is not the kind of person who hides and tucks it, you scare me with a score, bird feathers, I won't eat your set.

Sure enough, when these words came out, Jia Dazhi and the others were very dissatisfied, don't forget that they are already ruffians, and they have always been used to being domineering with a military background, so they can't bear to hear this.

"Co-authoring Brother Chang or practicing the family? The tone is so big" Jia Dazhi threw the steel knife into the car and looked at Chang Yu with a rebellious face.

"It's okay, I know how to order crops, what's the matter, does Boss Jia want to compare with me?"

Provocative again, Zhang Wuwei wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and it seemed that it was useless to say anything, because Jia Dazhi's unruly domineering energy had been ordered by Chang Yu.

"Then practice" Jia Dazhi looked disdainful, this kind of little white face in front of him is really not beaten.

"My appearance fee is very expensive!"

Chang Yu suddenly said, Jia Dazhi was stunned, but Zhang Wuwei covered his face, and sighed in his heart, Damn, it turned out to be this stubble.

"What do you mean?" Jia Dazhi looked confused.

"It's just to play some lottery heads" Chang Yu smiled: "That's it, you guys go up together, me, I will double the remaining silver, if I win, how about the remaining five hundred taels for free?" ”

Holy! Jia Dazhi, Luo Xingwei and Chen Xian, who didn't say a word, suddenly felt that the world was spinning, God, did you let this idiot give us silver? One person wants to single-handedly pick up fifteen of us?

"You, are you serious?" Jia Dazhi relieved himself for a long time, and looked at Chang Yu, who had an indifferent expression, and was a little puzzled: "It's not that you want to use a knife, let's use our bare hands."

"Whoever uses a knife loses, how about it?" Chang Yu scolded secretly in his heart, I'm still afraid that you will use a knife, but he smiled on his face: "Do you want to play?" ”

Come on, Jia Dazhi laughed, Zhang Wuwei covered his face with both hands, it's over!

Chang Yu had already pounced.
