Chapter 71 Gun Factory

Huang Yuanwai and Li Zhe placed an order for 1,000 firearms, and left 10,000 yuan as a deposit on the spot, which made Li Zhe sigh again and again that after all, it was still the maritime merchant's money that was easy to make, and 10,000 yuan really didn't even blink an eyelid.

Who knew that the visit of Huang Yuanwai in the morning was just the beginning, and then, before Li Zhe had time to send Huang Yuanwai out of the door with his front foot, he followed with one, two, and three on his back foot...... After a while, his foyer was already crowded with people.

Li Zhe, Uncle Jiu, and Hu Shi all morning...... A group of people were busy and turned around, but they didn't deal with this group of people, and for a while, the Baron's Mansion suddenly became crowded, and it was as busy as the vegetable market, and these people came to buy firecrackers, and there were also those who came to pull the relationship to find a way to go to the sea in the Baron's Mansion, and some of them didn't have anything to do at all, purely to see that Li Zhe's market was bullish, and they came to quickly run to pull the relationship to burn Li Zhe's cold stove.

The Li family in the Mansion of the Loyal Baron seemed to have more relatives and friends out of thin air overnight. There are many relatives who Li Zhe has never heard of before and has not been in contact with for many years. If it weren't for this time, even Li Zhe himself wouldn't know that he was in Mengzhou City and had so many relatives.

made Li Zhe and Hu Shi sigh again and again, no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, how many of these people who come today have not been in contact for many years, just like passers-by.

I don't want to get the news so quickly this time, Li Zhe has only just had some signs of development, and he has not yet soared, so much more.

In the morning, the people of the entire Baron's Mansion were busy with their feet not touching the ground, dealing with waves of people with different purposes, they were all painful and happy, all of them were looking forward to prosperity, waiting for prosperity, who knew that the prosperity in this mansion finally came and found that this mansion was too prosperous, but it was not easy to survive!

It was only at this time that I could see that the Baron's Mansion had been in decay for more than a hundred years after all, and the people in the mansion were not prosperous, otherwise why would it be like this?

Li Zhe's house was crowded with people who came to buy guns all morning, this fire gun business seems to be very promising, Li Zhechu was also painful and happy at the beginning, who knew that after receiving a few people, he suddenly realized that something was wrong!

What's wrong?

It had taken him a lot of effort to produce two or three hundred rods per month, and he had already squeezed out the full production potential of his estate.

And today at this time, he has signed an order for nearly 10,000 firearms, and if this order is for his workshop to produce step by step, the delivery time may not be sent until two or three years later.

Then he still grabbed a fart to praise the orders in the Japanese army, what else is the military procurement?

Those who came to buy the guns were all in the style of a big money, and they didn't even ask when they would get their hands on it, just grab the share of the self-generated fire guns in their hands first.

This whole 10,000 guns, Li Zhe received a soft hand in the deposit alone, and collected a huge sum of 100,000 yuan, and the average price of each firearm was sold to an average price of 25 yuan, which was still in short supply, and those people were as anxious to reach an agreement with Li Zhe as much as they took advantage of, it was like rushing to send money, and they were not afraid that Li Zhe would receive the deposit, but he would not complete the contract and run away.

But it's unlikely to think about it, his baron's mansion is here, and he can't go anywhere, and the list of nobles of the imperial court is clearly registered, there are fiefs, there are knights, although that is only a little bit every year, just a symbolic meaning, but it is enough for those people not to worry about him donating money and running away, there is no need to run at all!

Unless he Li Zhe is not afraid of being brought to the Senate, being punished by the knight, and forcibly auctioning the territory under his name to compensate the creditor, it is not that such a thing has happened before, and there are not a few people who have cut the knight for various reasons for hundreds of years, but that would be too low, thinking about it, Li Zhe will definitely not let that kind of thing happen.

In short, now Li Zhe has obtained a huge sum of money out of thin air, and the money to buy a sea ship seems to be settled, but at the same time, he is also burdened with a huge intangible debt, 10,000 firearms, and the small workshop in his manor cannot complete the task in any way. Now, what he is worried about is how to find a way to expand production as soon as possible and complete the previous contract.

Thinking of this, Li Zhe was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped the rhythm in his hand, and no matter how many people came later, Li Zhe would not dare to loosen his mouth no matter what.

Just as Li Zhe had a headache, a message came to him, someone from the mansion on Beijing Street, summoning him to go to the mansion to reply.

Hey! It is said that Li Zhe has not been to the county lord's mansion for a long time to say hello, this typical type of running out of goods, not only did the county lord not blame, but still sent people to summon him, which made Li Zhe himself feel a little embarrassed.

So Li Zhe hurriedly bathed and changed his clothes, washed off his dust, changed into a flowing scribe's clothes, and immediately drove to the county lord's mansion on Beijing Street.

When I arrived at the county lord's mansion, someone immediately came to greet him, and took Li Zhe all the way around the mansion, and once again arrived at the water pavilion garden where I came before.

In the water pavilion, a slender figure, wearing a tulle palace costume and gently shaking a small fan, is none other than Zhao Jieyu, the county lord of Xiangyang.

Li Zhe hurriedly stepped forward to greet the county lord, but he was a little surprised when he saw that in addition to the common maids around the county lord, there was also a eunuch wearing a bird and a bird complement.

He has been coming to the county lord's mansion for some time, and it is rare to see a eunuch in the county lord's mansion, not to mention that this eunuch is still a high-grade eunuch, and the grade is not low, take a closer look, who is this person Li Jinzhong who came to give Li Zhe an edict that day?

When the county lord saw Li Zhe coming, he smiled, and his indescribable coquettishness made Li Zhe's heart flutter,

"Brother Li, I came to you this time, but it is related to this Gonggong Li in the palace."

Oh, Li Zhe looked at Li Jinzhong, didn't answer, and waited for the county lord to say,

I only heard the county lord say again:

"Gonggong Li served in the palace as the director of the gun factory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs......"

Oh, hearing this, without the county lord continuing to speak, Li Zhe knew that he probably had already understood the intention of this Li Gonggong.

I heard the county lord continue:

"You should know that the military supply of my Great Song Dynasty official army has always been under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although occasionally some will be purchased from outside, but it is only some inconsequential materials. Your Li firearm was a sensation in the big school review this time, but it shocked many people's eyes.

Now, my father, the Senate, and the generals of the Dadu Governor's Mansion all agree that you should put your family's Li Clan's firearms on the procurement list as soon as possible, so that you can catch up with this Northern Expedition.

This decision has already been finalized by my father last night, and it is estimated that someone will inform you later. But now, there is a trouble in this, your Li firecracker was developed by yourself and produced by yourself in your workshop, but if this firecracker is to be included in the military procurement list, the production, date and product quality of this firecracker, your small workshop, may guarantee the supply? ”
