"Can't you be accommodating with this?" Kong Youde's face became bitter, he didn't spend much silver last time, but this time the 50,000 taels almost hollowed out all of Lord Sun's family funds, and if he wanted to take the money, he really couldn't take it out.

"What Lord Sun means is that you and I will build another firearms factory in Dengzhou!" Gao Han waved his hand: "When the firearms factory is completed, there is no big problem in making such small cannons and muskets, now you have more than 20 guns, you can top it for a while, and when the firearms factory starts, these small cannons can be directly equipped with Shandong Naval Division!" ”

"That's it!" Kong Youde has nothing to say, that's right, to build a firearms factory, it must be made by those craftsmen of Master Sun in the firearms factory, and the artillery made must be supplied to his own family first, which must be nothing to say.

"By the way, Lord Gao, I heard Song Baihu say just now, this overseas Zhenfu Division, as long as it is not in the boundary of the Ming Dynasty, can it be governed, then, in our Dengzhou, can we set up a hundred households, the Tartars are facing each other along the coast, and they are eyeing each other, if there is the assistance of your yamen, presumably the defense of Dengzhou will be much easier!"

"Is this what Master Sun meant?" Gao Han was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the Overseas Zhenfu Division would deal with the Tartars in the north now, and this Kong Youde actually mentioned this stubble first.

"That's what I mean, but I think Master Sun agrees!" Kong Youde said without concealing it at all: "Lord Sun focuses on the defense of Dengzhou Laizhou, the biggest threat is the Tartars from the sea, and the information is not clear, I don't know the virtual and real movements of the Tartars, which is our biggest flaw, and the Dengzhou battalion also tried to send spies to the North Korean places occupied by the sea Tatars, but unfortunately, there is very little news from the spies!" ”

Kong Youde doesn't care about revealing his shortcomings at all: "I look at the 100 households in Haojing, and there are a lot of captains recruited by Gao Daren, and these captains are used to spy on the news of these people, it must be easy to do it, if there is such a 100 households in Dengzhou, recruit some Koreans, and want to come to the Tartars, you will no longer be able to hide from us!" ”

"Well, let me think about it!" Gao Han thought about it, but still politely rejected the other party.

"My lord, even if the two of us cooperate, and the adults cooperate with us in Dengzhou to open a firearms factory, we have to have someone to guard the industry, and the adults set up a hundred households, and all the affairs of the firearms factory are handed over to the adults themselves, wouldn't it be a lot more reassuring!"

Kong Youde said a little unwillingly, "The cooperation between the two families must also have a cooperative appearance, even if Lord Gao trusts our Lord Sun, but our Lord Sun also has to avoid suspicion!" ”

Gao Han's mind turned, this is indeed the truth, the two cooperate to open another firearms factory, whether it is a craftsman or a casting technology, the two sides have communicated, it is easy to be mastered by Sun Yuanhua's people, but he wants to kick himself away, and he has nothing to restrain the other party.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the refined iron of his three-pound cannon is all the refined iron smelted by himself, and the technology of casting the cannon has nothing to be kept secret, but this steelmaking technology must be kept secret, this, it is absolutely impossible to expect Sun Yuanhua's people to learn to keep it secret for themselves.

In this case, it is very necessary to use people who are at ease to guard their own property, and if necessary, they can even destroy the blast furnace!

"Okay, I'll think about it!" Gao Han thought about this joint clearly, and nodded very happily.

"Since you're here, let's play here for a few days, Song Jian, you arrange for someone to load the goods onto the ship for Lord Kong, Miss Liu counts, and she's almost coming back, and the rest of the things, wait until Miss Liu comes back, and then talk to Lord Kong in detail!"

"Then don't bother Lord Gao!" Kong Youde stood up and said goodbye, the purpose of his trip has basically been achieved, and the rest is to wait for the Miss Kong in Gao Han's mouth to come back and talk to him about the details, things are so smooth, it makes him very happy!

Haojing Ao really doesn't have anything to look at, there are only a few lively streets that come and go, and the dignified generals can't always take their subordinates to linger in the land of fireworks every day, so these days, Kong Youde is really bored.

Last time, he recruited more than 20 musketeers in the past, and he used them quite easily, and this time, Kong Youde still planned to recruit some, but after the recruitment notice was posted for a few days, except for three or two extremely down-and-out guys to apply, there was not even a single one to look at.

He stayed in the Four Seas Restaurant, and he had to find the shopkeeper of the Four Seas Restaurant to ask what was going on.

"Needless to say!" The shopkeeper of the restaurant has been serving Gao Han and the others for a long time, and he is not very respectful to this general from other places: "They have all been recruited by the Olivia mercenary group, and in your place, except for the guys who can't survive, who wants to go!" ”

Anyway, he was idle, and inquired about the location of the camp of the Olivia mercenary group, Kong Youde led people to look for it, but he took a look, what is going on with this Olivia mercenary group, does this local government allow the existence of such an organized Fanren mercenary group?

He didn't expect that in this place, he unexpectedly saw the Miss Liu he was waiting for, and the leader of the Olivia Mercenary Regiment was actually his old acquaintance.

The shopkeeper of the firearms factory, the head of the mercenary group, who is in charge of this mercenary group of Raushzi behind the scenes, does this need to be asked?

"Miss Liu is really rare to see!"

was invited to the camp of the mercenary group, Kong Youde looked left and right, and secretly marveled at the scale of the mercenary camp, looking at the mercenaries who practiced on the martial arts field, he was secretly envious in his heart, but he knew that he could not afford to raise such a group of soldiers and horses.

The scale of at least a few hundred people, these salaries, clothing, and various firearms, I am afraid that this adds up to an astronomical amount, and it is still cheaper than the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Ru didn't seem to feel any strange about meeting this Kong staff general here, Gao Han had already told him about this matter after she came back, but she felt that this matter was not a particularly important matter, and she planned to dry the other party to say that she came to Olivia, but there was something more urgent than this.

"I just came back from the Wa Kingdom, Olivia is my good sister, I haven't seen you these days, and I miss it so much!"

She said lightly, a month's trip to the Japanese kingdom did not seem to leave any traces on her.

"I didn't bother the two of you!" Kong Youde smiled awkwardly, the two cooperated, Gao Han explained everything to this woman, counting, this woman's status is about the same as his status in front of Lord Sun, he doesn't have any intention of putting on a show.
