Chapter 42 A Visitor Visits
But said that Ma Zhong followed to the manor outside Li Zhe's city, and saw the flintlock pistol built by Tian Liu, he was really shocked, he never thought that the firearm they were most familiar with could evolve into this way, Tian Liu's flintlock pistol built according to Li Zhe's pattern, whether it was performance or regulation, it was close to the most mature flintlock pistol in later generations, it was the result of a hundred years of evolution in later generations, how could it be comparable to the old-fashioned arquebus.
As soon as Ma Zhong got his hands on it, he could feel the difference between Li Zhe's musket, not only the appearance was beautiful, but also the practicality was amazing, so that an old gunman like Ma Zhong could use it everywhere without ironing, and everywhere was uncomfortable, so he had to shout loudly.
Due to the good steel, Li Zhe's musket is lighter, the caliber is smaller, and the weight of the projectile is only half of the original, but the power and range have not been reduced in the slightest.
No matter how you look at it, this musket is the best musket used today, and it is really very different from the musket purchased by the Japanese military.
Needless to say, the muskets of the military autocracy are all exclusively supplied, made by King An's own workshop, and controlled by the eunuchs in the palace.
Therefore, the musket built by Li Hejia is not a little bit stronger than the standard firearm in the army, if it can complete the redress, how much should the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army be improved? Ma Zhong is almost certain that even if there is no change in the strategy and tactics in the army, with such a musket alone, when it comes to the battlefield, the combat power of the Japanese army will be reborn.
And this is definitely an enhancement in essence, now, Ma Zhong no longer dares to say that what Li Zhe said before is nonsense, under the premise that this new type of musket is in service, the tactics that Li Zhe said are indeed very possible. Any officer who has studied the actual combat of muskets can make such a judgment.
Turning his head, Ma Zhong looked at Li Zhe again, no longer looking at the eyes of a child of a family, but had begun to take on a certain aura of mystery.
To be able to develop such a musket, and to have such a study of the future military, how can such a person be an ordinary person. Such a person can make a career no matter where he goes. So, what did Li Zhe say about forming a private army and colonizing overseas? Ma Zhong had to really start thinking about the possibility of his own involvement.
After saying goodbye to Ma Zhong, who was obviously preoccupied, Li Zhe returned home, and as soon as he entered the house, someone reported back and Mr. Fang Jueyuan brought someone to visit.
Fang Jueyuan brought people to visit?
"Welcome, welcome!"
Li Zhe was overjoyed, and led people straight to the West Wing, in the room, Fang Jueyuan really took a few people to wait, and when he saw Li Zhe, everyone was happy.
A few days ago, when Li Zhe was calculated behind the back of Zhang Pu, Zhang Jun, Lu Fan and others, although Fang Jueyuan did not help, he was also in the same boat with Li Zhe, and he also contacted friends in the Mengzhou literary circle to help Li Zhe shout, but because of Zhang Jun's strength, he didn't help, but from it, Li Zhe could also see Fang Jueyuan's character.
This person can be said to be the most upright person he has seen since Li Zhe came to this world, and Li Zhe likes this person very much. Therefore, after experiencing such an incident, the relationship between the two not only did not have an impact, but became more intimate.
Now that a friend has come to the door, Li Zheneng is not happy, and Fang Jueyuan is likely to come with the manuscript fee for this issue this time.
Sure enough, as soon as Fang Jueyuan saw Li Zhe, he presented a wad of treasure money, which was more than 7,000 yuan, and jumped Li Zhe, and asked, it turned out that as Li Zhe's plenipotentiary representative, Mengzhou Daily and the Tianzhu Branch of the Huangsong Publishing House reached an agreement to publish the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", this matter was also mentioned to Li Zhe before, but Li Zhe had almost forgotten about it because he was busy in those days, who knew that the agreement was finally reached, and the Huangsong Publishing House paid a one-time salary of 5,000 yuan, and bought out the publishing rights of "Condor Shooting" in the world at one time. Such a large amount of income was forgotten by Li Zhe.
The Huang Song Publishing House was the largest publishing house in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was very powerful, and they really distributed books for the whole world, and all the known civilizations on the earth, including Europe, Turks, and Northern Yuan, were all within its scope of business.
So the amount of this income is really large, which is beyond Li Zhe's expectations.
In fact, at this time, Li Zhe and the Huang Song Publishing House did not know that the publication of "Shooting the Condor" would bring profits to the Huang Song Publishing House, which would be a number that would make anyone frightened, and more importantly, because of the reputation brought by this cooperation. The person who made the decision for this cooperation, the president of the Tianzhu branch of the Emperor Song Publishing House, will also become famous in the publishing industry because of this cooperation, so he broke away from the Emperor Song Publishing House and established a separate publishing house, becoming a famous business publishing house in later generations.
Of course, this is all for later, so I won't say it here. Back to before, Li Zhe and Fang Jueyuan said goodbye, and both of them were very happy.
Fang Jueyuan introduced to Li Zhe,
"This is Duan Zhishen,"
"This is called Xu Frame,"
"This is called Hong Yanyan, alias Hengjiu."
"There is also this one, Huang Zongxi, my assistant, you have already met. These are all leaders in my Mengzhou literary circle, and cadres among young people. All of you are young people, so you might as well get to know each other when you come here today. ”
Fang Jueyuan looked very enthusiastic.
When Li Zhe heard this, he immediately realized that this was the young backbone of the non-monarch faction that Fang Jueyuan said.
Previously, Li Zhe was attacked in the literary world because of "Shooting the Condor", and these people all participated in the debate with Song Feng and others, but because the influence was only limited to the literary world, it was not adopted by Zhang Jun, but it also made "Shooting the Condor" a lot of publicity, making the book more popular, to some extent, these people helped Li Zhe make money.
Of course, Li Zhe would like to thank these people.
"Brother Xian doesn't know now, since the Song Feng was defeated by you in the Kaifeng Mansion, "Shooting the Condor" has risen even higher in the literary world, it can be said that it was first suppressed and then raised, and now that Song Feng, Mr. Sun, Mr. Huang and others have died down and become notorious, but the sales of Brother Xian's books have increased even more, and everyone knows that even King An also reads Brother Xian's book, and they all praise this writing well.
Brother Xian's book has helped us a lot in spreading the idea of 'non-king'. ”
Fang Jueyuan said excitedly,
Li Zhe hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, and said repeatedly:
"Oh, no, no, no, Brother Fang's words, the younger brother doesn't dare to take it. Brother Fang still spare me, it's still the same sentence, your propaganda is only propaganda, but don't bring me along. The big thing you said, I would never dare to participate in it, junior brother. ”
Fang Jueyuan was stunned for a moment, and then, "Haha, brother Xian, are you still afraid, with Wang An, a big-name book friend, what else do you need to be afraid of in this book, in this Tianzhu Zhou, one acre and three points of land, King An is the biggest." Now there is King An to support you, in the whole Tianzhu you are already invincible, virtuous brother, you are a good talent, it is the time to make great achievements, you stand up and stretch out your arms, I can say that there is definitely a place for you in Mengzhou. What exactly are you afraid of? ”
"It's not a question of whether I'm afraid or not, but the younger brother has something else to ask for and doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing."
"Alright then!" Fang Jueyuan saw Li Zhe's resolute attitude, so he agreed,
Then Li Zhe said strangely,
"You non-monarchs, aren't you against the king, King An, but you are also a king, why does King An like my book, you can also applaud."
"Hey! Virtuous brother, don't think too narrowly, we are not kings, we are not against kings, we are only against the system of serving one person in the world, spending extravagantly, and treating everyone in the world as their assets, not against any one person, in other words, we are only against the idea of being alone. Such a good king as King An, who is wise and martial, generous to others, and who governs Tianzhu like a brocade, such a good king, not only do not oppose, but we want to call on everyone to support such a virtuous king. ”
"In short, don't worry about us!"
Huh, that's okay too? Li Zhe was completely speechless.
