Jingshi, Luoyang. Nangong.

"Zhang Rang, you say. Is this old emperor okay? After Emperor Han Ling sent Huangfu Song away, he asked Zhang Rang.

"This. Your Majesty, the three auxiliary lands, the old general Huangfu must be defended. Zhang Rang said worriedly. Actually, he knew it in his heart. Huangfu Lao'er is really going to lose this time. Because His Majesty did not give him a lot of money and food, and there were not many soldiers, only more than 20,000 people, it seems, it seems that there are a lot, but they are all infantry, and their combat effectiveness cannot be improved much at all. On the contrary, because of the lack of money and food, it was a drag, because the food in the Jingshi area was sent to the republican army by him. And then there in exchange for a large amount of arms to buy someone who needs them.

Huangfu Song, let him disappear into the long river of history.

"I hope so." Emperor Han Ling said helplessly. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty himself was not optimistic about Huangfu Song, because he knew better than anyone what kind of troops Huang Fu Song was bringing to fight, and if he let such a force fight, could he win? Emperor Han Ling was very skeptical, but he felt that Huangfu Song was still okay. Therefore, it was decided to give Huangfu Song a chance.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the new army of Xiyuan attack once and help the old general Huangfu Song?" Zhang Rang asked in a low voice. It sounds like a well-intentioned one, but in fact, Zhang Rang knows too well what Emperor Han Ling thinks. If you follow the story, Emperor Han Ling will not listen to you, this is the emperor, but you say the opposite. You'll get the results you want. Why, because the emperor has the emperor's own thoughts, he will never let you see through his own thoughts, this is the emperor. No one can guess what they think.

However, eunuchs are a special group, they are often around the emperor, they can judge the emperor's behavior and thoughts according to some of the dynamics around them, and they rely on this ability to expand their power. They will be able to do that.

"No, the last time the Xiyuan New Army was defeated, it was because it was not prepared. And it's firearms, firearms, you know? "Emperor Han Ling really thinks the same as Zhang Rang, the more you ask him to send firearms troops to fight, the more impossible it is. Anyway, Zhang Rang had already controlled the pulse of Emperor Han Ling, and he knew what the other party thought.

"But, Your Majesty. The old general of the emperor is in danger. Zhang Rang said worriedly.

"Is he alone in the war? Hum. Emperor Han Ling said dissatisfiedly. It is difficult to guess the mind of Emperor Han Ling, a person cannot be too familiar, and Emperor Han Ling seems to be very jealous of Huangfu Song, he hates people who have too much military power, for example, the general He Jin.

"Your Majesty is angry. Your Majesty is angry. Zhang let know. Emperor Han Ling was angry. But being angry is a good thing, which shows that his dependence on Huangfu Song is becoming less and less. Zhang Rang was so happy in his heart that he was dying.

"How's the arms thing going?" Emperor Han Ling immediately changed the subject, because if they continued, they would know what was on their minds. This is a very bad thing for him.

"Your Majesty, the Republican Army wants grain and copper mines, and these things can be exchanged for more arms, but unfortunately, the local government along the way improperly levies toll taxes. The price of arms is constantly rising. Zhang Rang said with a look of anxiety. Through such an expression, he reached the point of making Emperor Han Ling believe.

"Hmph. These officials, this is my inheritance, and I want to build an army of firearms, and I am so obstructed. Emperor Han Ling was very annoyed. In fact, this is one thing that Zuo Feng asked Zhang Rang to do. And Zhang Rang also has his own considerations. He was not alone in exchanging grain for arms, and many merchants were also involved, although the local government collected toll taxes along the way. But in reality, the price of arms has risen on the contrary. Because they can smuggle and sell to some landlords and heroes, they have private armies, and the advantages of firearms allow them to see the huge advantages of this kind of weaponry, and the landlords and heroes have private soldiers, and weapons are the biggest ban, although they cannot be equipped with bows and crossbows, but muskets are just outside the ban of the imperial court, because this is a new weapon, and the decree of the imperial court is blank here.

So, a lot of businessmen see this. They were quick to get involved. Joining the arms smuggling business, the toll is not difficult for them. Some landlords are powerful and powerful, and some are wealth, and the forces can oppress the local government to release them, and the local money that is not allowed can also open up a channel for them. This is the advantage of the landlords in grasping resources, and this advantage has greatly helped them.

But in this way, Zhang Rang became unfavorable. Because this time it has become a bull against a bull, the price of his weapons will not go up, and the money he will earn will not be enough. Zhang Rang is not the only supplier, he is the long of the bulls, which is a huge loss for Zhang Rang's interests. So, he decided to get involved. They wanted to suppress the landlords by controlling trade.

His idea was simple, to make the imperial court a unique purchaser of arms for trade. The idea is good, though. There were also accidents.

"Well, they collect taxes for my own good, I understand them." Emperor Han Ling said. This accident was Emperor Ling of Han. Because Emperor Han Ling was a person with strange ideas. Sure enough, when Zhang Rang heard it, he knew that his thoughts were broken. He wanted to monopolize the arms trade. However, I don't know what Emperor Han Ling thought of. If Emperor Han Ling had other ideas, it wouldn't be good.

"Collect it, it's also for us, those merchants, collect taxes, and you don't have to pay taxes." Emperor Han Ling said. Zhang Rang breathed a sigh of relief, so that they had a certain cost advantage, but he still didn't know how big this advantage was.

"Zhang Changshi, you said, I cast this cannon myself, how about the musket?" Emperor Han Ling suddenly asked.

"In this way, there is no need to buy it at a high price, and the Han army can also be equipped quickly. It's a great idea. Emperor Han Ling said.

"This. Your Majesty, no one knows this musket or artillery? Zhang Rang said anxiously. In fact, he was one of the major shareholders of the Second Arsenal of the Republican Army, and Zhang Rang kept buying a lot of shares with a lot of money. In order to be able to control such a company, no matter how much he collects, it is still not enough, because his money cannot keep up with the rising price of stocks. This made him very anxious.

"I'll leave this matter to you. You have to do it well, or you will disappoint me. Emperor Han Ling smiled and left the place. Zhang Rang wanted to cry without tears, this matter is not easy to do.

"You're going to sell it. It's the money that gets it, go quickly, sell it. The second uncle said.
