Feng Yunshan didn't think about it anymore, and looked at Ricky in front of him with a happy face. Karenwei asked, "Mr. Karenway, tell this king, if this king wants to build an arsenal of the same scale as the largest arsenal in Prussia, how many machines should he buy?" How much money and manpower do you need? ”

As soon as I heard Feng Yunshan say that the silver for building a factory, Ricky. Karenwei felt like he had taken a stimulant, and his face instantly turned red: "Your Highness the Holy King, due to the small size of the Kingdom of Prussia, there are less than ten arsenals, the largest of which is the Erfurt Arsenal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 INFO, on the other hand, produces the Dreser M1841 needle pistol, which is the Semelda Arsenal founded by Dreser itself. ”

"If the Holy King is the same as the Erfurt Arsenal, he will probably have to purchase thousands of lathes and other machines of various types, and I really can't estimate the amount of silver taels that will be spent, but at least one million taels, maybe three or four million taels or more. It depends on how big the Saint King builds the arsenal and what weapons he produces? ”

Richie. Karenwei was afraid that the millions of taels of money he said would scare Feng Yunshan, so he hurriedly added: "Your Highness the Holy King, in fact, the arsenal can be done step by step, there is no need to build everything at once, not to mention the large funds, it is difficult to cultivate the manpower at once." ”

"Therefore, Your Highness the Holy King, I propose that a medium-sized arsenal be built first, several times larger than the Sermelda Arsenal, which Monsieur Dreser founded himself, but smaller than the Elfurt Arsenal. It is possible to produce only the Dresser M1841 needle pistol and the Charville MLE 1842 shotgun smoothbore gun, these two gun types, plus the matching primer and bullets, etc., can reduce the purchase of many machines. ”

Richie. Karen Wei put on a posture of completely thinking about Feng Yunshan, and continued: "In this way, as long as you invest more than 400,000 taels and purchase hundreds of machines and equipment, you can build a simple arsenal. The key is a skilled mechanic, and this is the biggest trouble. However, I can send technicians in advance to help the Holy King train a batch. ”

"Later, we will slowly invest funds and continue to expand machinery and equipment for expansion, which can not only produce artillery, but also warships." Richie. Speaking of the bright prospects, Karenwe finally added: "Of course, in this way, in fact this arsenal is not just one factory, but includes a machine factory, a musket factory, a steam furnace factory, a foundry, a steamship factory, a bullet and ammunition factory, a steel factory, a gunpowder factory, a primer factory, and so on. The required manpower is also more than two or three thousand. ”

When Feng Yunshan heard it, it was really like this! I thought that this era was a small workshop, but I didn't expect that the factory had developed into such a scale on the foreigners' side.

I can't help but yearn for when I can build such a factory in China, I don't have to look at the faces of the great powers, and China will not be humiliated by the great powers for a hundred years.

The capital turf, now I have a little bit of it; Manpower, the key is skilled technician workers.

With a thought, Feng Yunshan smiled at Ricky. Karen Wei said: "Dear Karenwei, aren't you about to return to China? The king would like to hire you as a special adviser to the Taiping Holy Kingdom in Prussia, and to assist several of the king's subordinates in Prussia in their business and recruitment activities. ”

"You can get a thousand taels every year, in addition, you also have to help this king recruit some mechanical technicians from the arsenal, the remuneration is not a problem, and you will also have a special reward. Again, when you go back, you convey your sincere greetings to the king of your country on behalf of the king. Ben Wang felt that we could establish a further partnership. ”

"Of course! Your Highness, Your Highness! "Ricky. When Karenwei heard that Feng Yunshan offered to pay him and was ready to further establish cooperation with Prussia, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Feng Yunshan said: "This king has decided, so he will invest 500,000 taels of silver to build an arsenal that can initially produce muskets!" The king has sent his men to Prussia with the British priest Hexin, and when you return you will find them, and take them with you to procure all the machinery and equipment of the arsenal. After being transported back to Guangzhou, the king has a lot of rewards! ”

Richie. When Karen Wei learned that Feng Yunshan had sent someone to follow the British missionaries to Prussia to search for weapons and technicians, he couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately he had met the Holy King first, otherwise this chance of making a fortune might not be his own. He hurriedly agreed, saying that he would do his best to help purchase various machinery and equipment for the formation of the arsenal.

Feng Yunshan learned that Ricky. Karenwei returned to Prussia early tomorrow morning, and entrusted him to bring a secret letter to Tan Tiyuan and Li Jianwei, who had already followed Pastor Hexin to Europe.

The secret letter is written with morning glory juice, as long as the acid is used, the color can be revealed, Tan Tiyuan knows this way of reading the secret letter. The reason for this is not that Feng Yunshan is interested in Ricky. Kalunway didn't trust them, but was used to being wary of these foreigners.

Richie. After Karenwei left, Feng Yunshan asked Wu Chongyao to get dozens of more prospectuses and hand them over to the foreigners who participated in the opening of Nanyang Company, asking them to publicize them among businessmen and friends in their respective countries.

Feng Yunshan just wanted to return to the Governor's Yamen, and Lin Fengxiang led a team of holy soldiers to hurry over. But it turned out that he heard that he had bought some foreigners' muskets, so he hurriedly led the guard battalion to come, saying that he was here to help Wu Chongyao receive foreign guns, staring at Feng Yunshan with blank eyes, and asked his soldiers to be equipped with foreign guns first.

Feng Yunshan couldn't help but smile bitterly, the foreign guns hadn't arrived yet, and he hadn't figured out how to distribute them yet, so he came to the door.

I wanted to persuade Lin Fengxiang to go back and wait first, and I would consider it according to the situation. No, Luo Xuan also came with more than ten division commanders and brigade commanders, also for the matter of foreign guns, saying that before he left the Holy First Army, he would get some good weapons for the Holy First Army.

Feng Yunshan couldn't help but be big, don't agree, the old brother came up, and it was still the two main forces. Promise, to whom? At present, there are too few foreign guns, and if they are dispersed, they will not be able to give full play to the power of concentrated foreign guns.

After thinking about it for a while, Feng Yunshan felt that it was better to explain it, so he explained: "Brother Outline, Brother Lin, don't fight. Foreign guns must be concentrated to be powerful! Therefore, the current foreign guns, as well as the foreign guns that will arrive tomorrow, are not ready to be equipped by the king of your Holy First Army and the Holy Second Army. As for who it is for, this king has his own plans! ”

Now Luo Xuan and Lin Fengxiang were dumbfounded!

Luo Xuan was worthy of being Feng Yunshan's loyal comrade-in-arms, and nodded and said, "Since it is the Holy King's other arrangements, Luo will abide by it unconditionally." I hope that the Holy Kingdom can produce its own foreign guns as soon as possible, so that all the brothers of the Holy Army can match it, and it will be more refreshing to kill the demons! ”

Lin Fengxiang's original look of anticipation came to naught, but at this moment he cried with a sad face and said, "Fengxiang obeys!" ”

Feng Yunshan couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, patted Lin Fengxiang on the shoulder and said, "Brother Lin, don't be like the girls, the brothers don't have foreign guns now, don't you still kill the demons and kill them?" The training of the brothers was grasped by the king. Don't let the foreign guns come down when the time comes, and you can't even lift a gun! ”

As soon as Lin Fengxiang heard the meaning of the words, it seemed that there was still a play, and he immediately agreed energetically.

At that moment, the holy soldiers brought by the two of them were assigned to Wu Chongyao, and he asked him to lead them to hand over the muskets that carried the foreigners.
