Guo Xun's heart moved, and he understood that there were obviously two things in the wooden box, why Li Feibai only said that he would find a market for the cool oil, but not for the fire gun.

Li Feibai wears the hat of a county commander, but he is a businessman in his bones. Merchants are all profit-seeking, and when they make something, they naturally want to sell it for a profit. The cool oil is like this, and the fire gun is like this, there is no reason why the fire gun is made, and I don't think about how to sell it, but just show it off in front of others, so that others can see that he is a useful material, and collect it under the door to make guns for others.

If you want to make huge profits, you can only make and sell yourself. If you make it for others, you can only get a small profit. With Li Feibai's personality and current net worth, how can he take this little profit in his eyes.

But the firebolt is different from other commodities, although private research and production is allowed, but private mass production is not allowed. The fire gun you make is good, you can enter the eyes of the official family, and you will follow the official family to eat fragrant and spicy food. The fire hammer you make is not good, and it can't get into the eyes of the official, so you should only entertain yourself.

But on this basis, it is concluded that the fire gun is not profitable, and it is not necessarily. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Ming Dynasty's management of the Firearms Bureau is very loose, and the military headquarters of the Beijing Division can be set up, and it can also be set up at the local level, and it can also be set up in the army with more than 10,000 people. As long as the firearms you make can be sold in the army, the profits are very considerable, but it is not the merchants who make the fortunes, but the officials who run the firearms bureau.

Li Feibai is a small county commander, and with the few soldiers and horses in the county, he is not qualified to open a firearms bureau, so he can't make firearms in large quantities, so he can only go his way.

Guo Xun smiled and nodded, secretly praising Li Feibai for being really smart. Li Feibai Ruoming said that he should think of a way to see if he could sell such a firecracker, and the solution he gave must be that after returning to the capital, if he can still be in charge of the military, at least he must be the ruling party and call Li Feibai over to make firearms under his rule.

Li Feibai will definitely not agree to such a solution, at that time, the two will not reach an agreement, and the problem cannot be solved, and it will cause a rift in the relationship between the two.

Li Feibai just sent the firearm and didn't mention anything, so there was a lot of room for maneuver.

Along the way, he chatted with He Tianchong, and knew many of Li Feibai's thoughts in the coal cellar and iron smelting institute and the First Commercial Bank of Daming, coupled with a conversation with Li Feibai when he was in the balcony palace, which made him understand that Li Feibai is a person who can often think about what others can't think about and do what others can't. Such a person will certainly find a way to produce his own guns and sell them to the army. If you don't talk about it now, it may be that the time is not ripe enough, or it may not be able to think of a solution.

And Li Feibai gave him the fire gun, which was telling him. See, I have such a good firebolt, do you want it? If I want, I can think of a way for me to bypass the firearms bureau and make a huge profit. What, now that you have a firecracker, you want to leave me behind and find someone to imitate it?

Uncle Guo, you are also a marquis, and you won't compete with your nephew for this little profit. I made this thing first, and Uncle Wang can testify to it. Don't you believe it? You forgot that I also gave Uncle Wang a box, the style is exactly the same as yours, and the contents must be exactly the same. If you leave me alone and find someone to imitate, won't you make Uncle Wang laugh? Saying that you are a marquis, an important minister of the court, actually gave me a kid to fight for profits, then it is not good-looking.

Guo Xun put the fire gun in the box and told people to watch it and stop thinking about it. At present, the most important thing is to go back to Beijing to meet the emperor, although it has been possible to guess that it is a good thing to return to Beijing this time, but not waiting to see the emperor uncover the mystery, after all, it is still not practical.

This walk is six or seven days before returning to the capital, Jinyiwei returned to the palace to die, and Guo Xun honestly stayed at home and waited for the emperor to summon him.

Guo Xun knew that he might not get An Sheng when he came back, and officials of all sizes who got the news would come to visit him and ask him about his attitude towards the Great Rites. Before seeing the emperor, he didn't want to show his attitude, so he ordered to go down, and no one was seen.

But before the order was passed down, someone came to say: "Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo came to visit." ”

When a prince comes to see a prince, there is no reason not to see it, not to mention that the two have a very good personal relationship, and there is no reason not to see it. He hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed to the front hall to greet Xu Guangzuo.

The two are old acquaintances, so they are exempt from a lot of false courtesy, and sit down as guests.

Guo Xun thought that Xu Guangzuo would be polite, at least ask him how he has been doing in Liangguang over the years, and then he will cut to the topic. Unexpectedly, after Xu Guangzuo sat down, he didn't even take a sip of tea, so he went straight to the point and said, "What do you think about the big etiquette?" ”

Guo Xun stared directly at Xu Guangzuo's eyes, wanting to get a hint, but Xu Guangzuo waited with a serious expression, and there was no hint in his eyes.

He had no choice but to say: "I think what Zhang Xuan said is not wrong, the emperor posthumously named his father as the emperor, which is in line with heaven, earth and people, and there is nothing wrong at all." And Yang Ting and this guy stretched out their hands too long, and they actually took care of the emperor's private affairs, and did not allow the emperor to crown his father as the emperor, but only allowed the emperor to make his father a prince. How can there be such a truth in the world, it is simply unreasonable. ”

Xu Guangzuo's serious expression finally changed, and he said with a smile: "Brother Xu, don't blame me for being my brother's boss just now!" There is no way, I have been ordered to come to interrogate, I have to do this, please forgive me. ”

Guo Xun also said that Xu Guangzuo was a private visit, but he didn't expect to come with a holy order, and secretly said that he was lucky, and asked: "Brother, there is no mistake in what I answered just now!" ”

Xu Guangzuo said: "I just pinched a handful of sweat for you, fortunately you didn't answer wrong!" As if to prove that he was telling the truth, he spread his hands and said, "Look, my palms are still sweaty!" ”

Guo Xun arched his hand and said: "Thank you Brother Xu for your concern!" ”

Xu Guangzuo said: "Let's go!" ”

Guo Xun was stunned and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Xu Guangzuo said: "Enter the palace to face the saint!" Seeing Guo Xun looking up at the sky, he knew that Guo Xun was wondering, it was almost night, and it didn't seem to be the time to face the saint.

He took a step forward, grabbed Guo Xun's wrist and said, "The emperor has already instructed that as soon as you return to the capital, no matter how late it is, go to the palace to see him." After a pause, he said, "Brother, I want to congratulate you first, but I am afraid that this time I will return to Beijing, and the emperor will entrust me with an important task." ”

Guo Xun followed Xu Guangzuo out, and he was afraid for a while. If he hadn't gone to Jiyuan and had Li Feibai's guidance, he would definitely have made the wrong choice.

If he replied that Yang Tinghe was right, he would definitely not be treated by the emperor, and he could only stay in the Hou Mansion to be cold when he returned to Beijing this time.

Even if it is muddy, it is said that Yang Tinghe is right, and what Zhang Xuan said is not bad. It may not be hung up by the cold, but it is impossible to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

Fortunately, he did not hesitate to say that Zhang Zhang's words were right and Yang Tinghe's words were wrong, and Xu Guangzuo revealed that the face saint would be entrusted with an important task this time. As he walked, he was curious about how heavy this heavy task was.

The two of them left the Hou Mansion, Xu Guangzuo got into his sedan chair, Guo Xun also got into his sedan chair, and his own personal guards opened the way, and the group hurried towards the direction of the palace.

Outside the palace gate, Jinyiwei stepped forward to check, Xu Guangzuo opened the sedan curtain and shook his face, and Jinyiwei hurriedly let him go. Next, let's check Guo Xun's sedan chair. Guo Xun took the palace walking token that Xu Guangzuo handed him before getting into the sedan chair, and handed it out for Jinyiwei to check. This token is also divided into levels, and Jin Yiwei saw that it was the highest level token, but he just took a cursory look at it, and then let the sedan chair pass.
