Zhu Shun took out a page from his arms and handed it over: "Here is the price of firearms from the Beiping Firearms Bureau, Uncle Zhang bought all these birds." ”

"Uncle Zhang only needs to pay, and the bird gun is still in the Beiping Firearms Bureau, so that he will not be impeached for possession of firearms."

It is true that there are no private firearms, but nominally they belong to the West French, and they are thousands of guns when they are bought.

According to Zhu Shun's plan, the West French people will also eat all the orders of Wang Gong's factory in the next few months.

Wang Gong Factory has now established a military line, and the bird gun is constantly manufactured like flowing water, and the output has reached an astonishing more than 3,000 pieces a month.

The West French nominally possessed more than 10,000 birds, which was a great risk.

Ambassador Zhang smiled bitterly: "Virtuous nephew, I don't have a problem myself, but I can't make decisions for others, and this matter has to be discussed." ”

If this matter is not handled properly, it is very likely to bring about a catastrophe, and Zhu Shun does not expect the West French to agree immediately: "Uncle Shi can just look at this matter, I still have something to go back to Wang Gongchang, so I won't stay here longer." ”

One of the biggest benefits that Zhu Shun gained from the establishment of the Beiping Firearms Bureau was that he had an excuse to go out on business at any time, and he did not have to ask Ambassador Zhang for leave every time he went out.

Zhu Shun stood up and arched his hand, then left here and returned to Wang Gongchang to continue compiling the teaching materials of the new school.

A few days later, a major event occurred in the imperial court, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu entered the cabinet and became the first member of the Donglin Party to worship as Zaifu.

A huge earthquake was caused by the government and the opposition.

Chongzhen, who led all this, was still diligently reviewing the chapters.

Next to him stood a rich man, with his hands in his sleeves, and his face was always smiling.

After a stick of incense, Chongzhen put down the lake pen in his hand and rubbed his temples.

The rich man took advantage of Chongzhen's break and continued: "The entry of the Ministry of Rites into the cabinet can be regarded as a bane for the Donglin Party. ”

"The official department who has already regarded entering the cabinet as a thing in his bag, understands that this is the emperor's plan, and there will be a little crack in his heart."

"Yugong didn't remove the mountains in a day, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is enough to bury the root of the trouble, and we will deal with the Jurchen Tartars outside the city next."

The grain, gold and silver in countless Zhuangzi in Beizhili were all emptied, and Yuan Chonghuan also brought the border soldiers to reinforce him.

For Chongzhen, the Jurchen Tartars are just a headache, and they can't pose a threat to the country.

Chongzhen took a sip of good tea, put down the white porcelain teacup in his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Go on." ”

The rich man looked at the tea leaves that only ordinary rich and noble squires drink, and then glanced at the white porcelain teacup with three or five dollars of silver, and sighed in his heart, but still maintained a smile on his face: "The strategic gap between us and the Jurchens." ”

"The most important place lies in two words, population."

"Since the Jurchens dare to go out and still don't leave, it is an excellent opportunity for Daming."

"As long as the emperor sends out an army and constantly consumes the young and middle-aged Jurchens, even if the Ming Dynasty dies more than ten times as many sergeants, we will still earn it."

Chongzhen had already put forward this suggestion when he met Yuan Chonghuan, and with Fan Wencheng's talent as a national scholar, he would not have thought of this layer.

Chongzhen didn't agree for a long time, because of the two words Fan Wencheng said, lack of money.

Because of the 10 million taels of silver that Zhu Shun won, Chongzhen had already planned how to use it, part of it was used for disaster relief, and part of it was used to establish a new Beijing camp.

The power of the border army was far stronger than that of the Beijing camp, which was very unfavorable to the rule of the central court, and it was easy to cause the border towns to be divided at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

The construction of the three major battalions in the capital is imperative.

The rich man has long seen through Chongzhen's thoughts, but he won't say it explicitly, speculating on the holy will is a profound knowledge, how to let the emperor know that he doesn't know his mind, and it is the political literacy of a countryman.

The rich man didn't seem to know Chongzhen's thoughts, and said to himself: "Weichen has a plan to drive away the wolf and the tiger, I don't know if the emperor is willing to give it a try." ”

Chongzhen asked a crucial question: "Do you spend money?" ”

The rich man smiled and said, "It doesn't cost money." ”

Chongzhen was relieved at this time, picked up the lake pen and continued to correct the recital: "Say it." ”

The rich man pondered for a moment, and then said: "This surprise attack on the capital planned by Fan Wencheng can be said to be a last resort, and the imperial court has already calculated the temple of the Jurchens strategically. ”

"He expected that the imperial court would not implement this strategy, in fact, Weichen also deduced this, no matter how it was deduced, what Fan Wencheng expected would not change."

"Because you can never get around a point, the court is not short of people, but it is short of money, and it will not take out the money to continue to strengthen the border army."

"Still."

The rich man pulled out a jade snuff box, and instead of snuff cream, it was filled with pungent mint cream.

After smearing a little peppermint paste on the person and taking a hard breath, a strong stimulus filled the rich man's brain, followed by a refreshing feeling: "However, there is a variable. ”

"Or two variables."

Chongzhen didn't put down the lake pen in his hand, and pretended to be very casual and said, "Zhu Shun." ”

The rich man's pupils shrank slightly, and he said with a smile: "Emperor Shengming, Fan Wencheng never imagined that there would be two variables, Zhu Shun and the Beiping Firearms General Bureau. ”

"There are a lot of family members in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military families, and the Beiping Firearms General Bureau has a large number of firearms, and everything is ready."

"It depends on whether the emperor is reluctant to give up a little fame."

The rich man was worried that Chongzhen would not be able to make up his mind, and he would lose a son: "Your Majesty, the border army has formed a military leader, and if it continues to develop like this, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the rule of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Just use this incident to deter the arrogant border army, and tell those military leaders that the emperor can pull up a large army at any time."

Chongzhen put down the lake pen in his hand, pondered expressionlessly for a long time, weighed the pros and cons of this matter, and still found it difficult to make up his mind: "After this incident, it is easy for the bureaucrats and squires to have a large number of firearms. ”

"I'm afraid the harm in this is no less than that of the military leader."

The rich man still smiled and said: "This matter is simple, as long as the emperor controls the ammunition, he can completely solve this problem." ”

"A bird gun without ammunition is just a bunch of burning sticks, which are not as good as swords and spears."

"The bureaucratic squires have a lot of swords and spears at home, but after replacing them with bird guns, they are easy to control."

Chongzhen didn't speak, and continued to correct the chapter with an expressionless face.

The rich man left with a smile on his face.
