Deng Guan's delivery is located in Yanwu Township, on the border of Pizhou, not very far from his brother's inspection department. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Yang He and his entourage arrived, Ambassador Deng, one of them and two soaps, greeted each other with smiles on their faces, and they were very enthusiastic.

Understandably, what are they doing with it? Isn't it to sell the greedy goods?

Sell to whom? It's Yang He, these people.

In particular, Yang He must still be a big financier, and in terms of attitude, he must be more enthusiastic.

Just like the profiteers and corrupt officials of later generations pointed coldly at Qianfu, but they had nothing to say about their attitude towards big customers.

Yang He was not in the mood to greet them, so he went straight to the point and wanted to take a look at their warehouse.

Deng Guan's delivery station was also built along the embankment, and there were a row of stackhouses next to the wharf, with many people in the warehouse to take care of them, obviously compared to the inspection department, they were much richer, there were more than a dozen large and small boats, as well as many oxen and horse-drawn carts, and many manpower wheelbarrows.

The surname of the delivery office is Guo, who is as fat as the Deng Guan brothers, not like a bookseller, but like a shopkeeper.

He led Yang He and the others into a stack room with a smile, and smiled very kindly, reminding Yang He of the lobby manager in the future.

When he entered the stack room, it was indeed a dazzling array of materials and weapons, which made people dizzy.

Guo Zhudian repeatedly praised Yang Xianggong's good fortune, this batch of military goods has only arrived for more than ten days, if it was placed more than a month ago, it would definitely be out of stock.

Deng Guan also assured with a smile that although Yang Xianggong picked, how many of these military supplies were picked, how many they sold, and how many orders they ate, they ate them all, and his tone was very heroic.

Yang He thought to himself that this surnamed Deng was arrogant, and the military supplies of the imperial court were the same as his family's, and he guessed that after the shortage of these materials, they would definitely use this set of drifting, after all, it is very common for a boat to capsize on the Yellow River.

As soon as this excuse comes out, there must be nothing to say in all aspects.

Drifting, but the unspoken rule on the two rivers is related to the jobs of countless people.

Who would dare to be bold enough to commit a crime?

Yang He looked at it in the stack room, there were a lot of materials and complete types, for example, their stack room was divided into A, B, C, D, and other font libraries.

There are all kinds of cloths, pigments, or raw materials for the production of pigments, silver Zhu Dan Huang and whatever.

There are all kinds of military fat jackets, combat shoes, military trousers, sergeant fur hats, etc.

The C-word library has barren silk, spinning silk, cotton, etc.

There are tung oil, lacquer glue, yellow and white jute, pig iron, wrought iron, iron wire, goatskin, sheepskin, feathers, etc.

There are armor, bows and arrows, waist knives, bright strings, sacks, etc.

There is also a vast storehouse, which contains firearms, gunpowder, sulfur and saltpeter.

Sure enough, it is a delivery station, and many of these materials are to be transported into the inner warehouse of the Beijing Division, which is dazzling.

Yang He looked everywhere, not to mention that Ambassador Deng and the others were kind, but those warehouses were very enthusiastic, obviously it was the business of the entire delivery station that the upper and lower levels of the ambassadors were saving up and eating meat, and they could drink some soup from the warehouses, even the lowest level of the inspectors.

There is wealth, common prosperity, and mavericks, which can obviously only be sideways. Yuanhua, and even life-threatening.

Looking at their faces, Yang He thought to himself that if he managed Pizhou by himself, he would definitely end up in a nest of these people.

Hu Cheng and Zeng Youyu looked at it curiously, and they were surprised, but Zhang Zhugong's brother was not very good, Daming is full of this kind of person, is the situation in the court not bad?

After looking at several warehouses, Yang He knew in his heart that the next thing was to buy.

Looking at the expectant expressions of Ambassador Deng and the others, he asked about the price.

Ambassador Deng and Guo Zhudian looked at each other and smiled, and sure enough, a big business came to the door, and Guo Zhudian responded enthusiastically.

“…… Back to Yang Xianggong, the pig iron on the villain's side costs one and two cents per catty of silver, ordinary wrought iron costs one penny and two cents, and more refined iron costs one penny and five cents per catty of silver. ”

“…… Back to Yang Xianggong, the sulfur on the villain's side is worth four cents of silver per 100 catties. ”

“…… Back to Yang Xianggong, the lead on the villain's side is worth four cents of silver per catty. ”

"Back to Yang Xianggong ......"

Yang He asked a lot, and in general, it was cheaper than Wang Qiong'e's side, after all, the distance of transportation was short, and it was still a business without capital.

It's a pity that the supply of goods is unstable, they are a relay from station to station, and soon all kinds of military goods will have to be transported away, otherwise they can buy supplies here for a long time.

Of course, he was most concerned about gunpowder firearms, and asked about the price at the moment.

Guo Judian said: "Yang Xianggong wants firearms? It just so happens that there are all batches of bird guns and three-eyed guns, and the bird guns only cost two taels for one shot, and the three-eyed guns only cost five dollars. ”

Yang He's expression turned cold, and he squinted at each other: "It's the kind of shoddy bird guns and three-eyed guns that only have a lifespan of thirty rounds and explode at every turn?" Guo Zhuodian, you are not sincere! ”

Daming is currently mass-producing bird guns, and a lot of labor costs only two or three dollars a penny, and the cost is not high, but in fact, they are all cutting corners, basically only 30 rounds of life, and they may blow up when they will be blown.

Generally, the cost of each bird gun that does not cut corners is about four taels, and the life of the launch may be 200 rounds.

However, in Yang He's view, it is still cutting corners, and the general cost is five taels, or even six or seven taels, can be called excellent, and the launch life is more than 1,000 rounds.

In 1789, the second lieutenant of artillery, Monfort, tested several types of steel and fine iron guns, steel guns that could be fired 12,000 times, and fine iron guns that could be fired 4,400 times before exploding.

It is normal for a fire gun made of fine iron to shoot 4,000 times, after all, the initial velocity of the black powder era is very low, and the wear and tear on the barrel is not very large.

And this kind of firecracker, the cost is estimated at eight to ten taels of silver, which looks expensive, but it is cheap when calculated, after all, it will blow up at every turn, and how to use a bird gun with a lifespan of only thirty rounds?

The sergeant did not dare to use it, or it became a consumable like an arrow and was constantly replaced, which cost hundreds of times more money and various costs than this seemingly low-cost firearm.

Being questioned by Yang He like this, Ambassador Deng and Guo Zhudian were a little embarrassed, they had been trying to sell these inferior firearms, but no one cared, obviously the young Xiucai in front of them was also a shrewd and knowledgeable person.

Guo Zhuodian explained: "I also saw that Xianggong had just arrived in Zhuangzhai, and he needed a lot of money and food, so hehe......"

Yang He snorted coldly: "Do you think that Bensheng is a poor ghost, and you don't need you to save money for me!" ”

He has his own plans in mind, he is not one of those warlords who is short-sighted, and he does not take the lives of his subordinates seriously.

Moreover, according to the cost of life, the life span of ten taels of silver is 4,000 rounds, and the life span of 2 taels of silver is 30 rounds, which is five times the cost, but it causes a quality gap of more than 100 times.

There are other losses in this, such as the lives of the sergeants, the success or failure of the situation on the battlefield, and so on.

Special firearms have become waste on the battlefield, and civilization has been replaced by barbarism.

He had nothing to use and had to go out to buy firearms, otherwise he would rather make his own.

For now, the firearms carefully crafted by the Zhang Zhugong brothers under his command can also meet excellent standards.

The bird guns and winged tiger guns they built can reach or exceed 4,000 rounds of shooting life.

Seeing that Guo Zhuodian was not able to step down, Ambassador Deng hurriedly played a round game, saying that he also had a batch of fine firearms on his side, about 100 strokes.

However, this kind of firearm has a lot to do with being sold, so it is more expensive, and it costs eight taels of silver for a pole.

Yang He said lightly: "Money is not a problem, if it is good, Yang will ask for all ......" (to be continued.) )
