Murad is worthy of being a Turkish businessman, and his ability to extort bamboo is actually in the middle of Qin Lin, this is the trump card against the trump card, the two chún tongue and arrow, you come and go, several battles, and finally Qin Lin sighed for a long time with a stick of incense, and finally bit his teeth hard: "Gold 2,500 taels for a full set of technology, the achievement, not to pull down, Lao Tzu half a copper will not be added up ()!" ”

"Allah is above!" Murad's cunning green eyes finally shone with joy, and he put his hand to his heart and bowed deeply: "Generous Minister of the Celestial Empire, you will get everything you want, and Murad will serve you wholeheartedly." ，…

I know that you see money! Qin Lin smiled perfunctorily at the other party, and despised this Mr. Mu fiercely in his heart.

Through the exchange with Xu Wenchang, Qin Lin knew that at this time, the economic component of the tributary activities was very heavy, and the Ming Dynasty may have attached more importance to the political significance of the coming of all countries, but the vassal states paid more attention to the economic factor.

In a country like North Korea that borders the territory and is deeply influenced by the Ming Dynasty, the official background of the tributary envoys is still relatively strong, while the Tianfang, Java, and Lumi countries are often served as tributary envoys by foreign trade merchants.

Due to the fact that they could obtain a lot of economic benefits from the rewards when they came to the Ming Dynasty, some kings of small countries even sold their tribute qualifications, and the merchants with the highest bids carried their credentials to the "Zhong" country for pilgrimage.

When he came, he listened to the introductions of Zhou and Chen, and Qin Lin almost had a number in his heart, although the Ming Dynasty was majestic, after all, the affairs of the Timurid Empire and Ottoman Turkey were in the Yongle period, and the Ottomans must have been convinced and sincerely afraid to come to the pilgrimage, but now more than a hundred years have passed, and Turkey does not border China, and the economic factor of the pilgrimage is much stronger than the political significance.

Looking at Murad's face as a businessman, and speaking the Mandarin so well, it is naturally not the first time that he is a Turkish official sent to the country, but more like a businessman who goes to sea to do business all the year round, maybe this guy's tribute qualifications are bought from the Sultan.

Qin Lin lowered his voice, and suddenly attached himself to Murad's ear and asked, "Brother, to tell you the truth, how much is your tribute qualification?" ”

"No, no, no, I am the Sultan's court minister, and I have been sent to China for a pilgrimage," a trace of panic flashed in Murad's eyes.

As Qin Lin guessed, he was a Turkish merchant who traveled to and from the Indian Ocean and the coast of China all the year round, and he bribed the eunuch courtiers of the Ottoman Sultan with 800 gold dinars, thus obtaining the qualification of the emperor of the imperial court.

Qin Lin keenly captured the panic in Murad's eyes, and his heart became more and more determined, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Mr. Mu, don't worry, this official has a few good friends in the sailors of Fujian Yuegang and Hangzhou City, if we cooperate happily this time, haha,........." Murad became more and more surprised, it is needless to say that the cooperation is happy, if the cooperation process is unpleasant, in the future, the two treaty ports of Hangzhou and Yuegang will probably close the door to themselves forever, right?

Qin Lin originally had to prevent Murad from leaving a hand in technology transfer, since he wanted to continue to do business in China, he was not afraid that he would jump into the sky to see Murad's embarrassment, Qin Lin comforted him again: "We have an ancient saying in China, as long as you have good technology in manufacturing Lu Mirui, the official will not be short of you with one or two gold, and it will be convenient for you in the future." ”

"That's, that's" Murad looked relieved and lively, patted his chest and swore: "Rest assured, the Minister of the Celestial Empire, in the name of Allah, Rumiri is the best gun in the world, both in the East and in the West." ”

Previously, Qin Lin and Murad were talking about the deal, but they walked aside and muttered, and others didn't know what they were talking about, and in the end, Mr. Mu's words were sharpened, and Zhao Shizhen heard them.

Zhao Shizhen's failure in the field and his career as a miscellaneous person, he has suffered all the white eyes over the years, but Qin Lin looks at him differently, and in the process of judging the case in Cishou Temple, he also knows that General Qin is a shrewd and capable upstart, not a minister who invites favor and advances.

Although I didn't know what Qin Lin and Murad were talking about, I probably guessed that I wanted to buy Lu Mirui's manufacturing technology, and when I heard Mu Lard's cowhide coaxing, I was afraid that Qin Lin would be knocked at a high price, so I hurriedly took two steps and interjected: "Mr. Mu, your words are a little too much, you must know that our Ming ..............." Before the words were finished, Qin Lin shook his hand very arbitrarily, and did not give Zhao Shizhen a chance to continue: "Master Zhao is too fastidious, and this official has experience to see that Lu Mi is really a first-class divine weapon today, My Da Ming's weapons are really inferior to him.

Zhao Shizhen's kindness was not reciprocated, and he held back his anger, originally thinking that his temper was going to stand up to Qin Lin on the spot, for the sake of his previous good impression, he finally didn't say anything, but the look on his face was extremely disapproving.

Murad is just a businessman, where can he think too far? Hearing Zhao Shizhen say that Lu Mitong was not perfect, he was worried about the two thousand five hundred taels of gold that had been negotiated earlier, and Qin Lin's promise to let his friends in the two treaty ports take care of him in the future.

When Qin Lin himself refuted Zhao Shizhen, Murad laughed so much that his eyes and nose couldn't see, and he gave Qin Lin a thumbs up: "It's still General Qin's knowledge, Master Zhao, your vision is really not as good as General Qin." "Okay, Murad was still showing his firearms to Zhao Shizhen in the front, but it turned around immediately. The wind is really a living jiān businessman's face.

Qin Lin said a few more perfunctory words to Murad, and talked about sending someone to talk about the details of technology transfer in a few days, and then said goodbye to the Turkish businessman with a smile.

Zhou and Chen were always watching from the side, although they didn't treat Zhao Shizhen very well, they couldn't help but say: "General Qin, since ancient times, the price has been asking for money on the spot, and the buyer only said that the goods are not good, so it is good to lower the price, why don't you just now, let's help you find Mr. Mu to rub and rub?" Qin Lin thanked the two principals for their kindness, and then looked at Zhao Shizhen, who was muttering and sullen next to him: "Lu Mi Gong Sheng has a long barrel and high accuracy, but the cost is relatively cheap, because it uses a double-layer barrel stacking technology, as well as a special wooden áng (). But it is fired with an arquebus, which is far less convenient than the officer's stun gun and thunderbolt gun to hit the flint with a steel sheet to ignite, the caliber is too thin, the charge is too small, and there are problems in power."

Ah, it turns out that General Qin knows it, so why? Zhao Shizhen blinked his eyes, confused.

Qin Lin smiled very badly: "Why should I tell Murad about this?" If Lu Miguo improves their guns according to our technology, what good will it do to our Ming Dynasty and our officials? "I'm down! Zhao Shizhen suddenly realized, and said in his heart that General Qin is really too deceitful, oh no, it is "far-sighted", the advanced technology of Lu Miguo, let's get it for him, our advanced technology of Daming, hehe, don't tell you!

The two principals, Zhou and Chen, also fell to their feet, Rao is Murad was like a ghost, and he also drank General Qin's foot-washing water, which really made people cry and laugh.

At the beginning, Qin Lin didn't plan to copy Lu Mirui as it was.

It is true that Lu Mirui is a very advanced weapon, and Qin Lin once played a game called "Age of Empires"

The Sultan's personal soldiers of Turkey are quite powerful troops, and they must be holding the Lumi key in their hands.

But is this weapon from Asia Minor really invincible?

In the second half of the sixteenth century, not long after the Age of Discovery in Europe began, the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople and absorbed the embers of ancient Greek and Roman civilization from the Eastern Roman Empire.

The various civilization centers of this era have not really divided the winners and losers, each according to its own characteristics of development, there is no absolute advanced and backward technology, take navigation technology as an example, Europe as a whole is in a relatively leading stage, but in the fields of tung oil anticorrosion, watertight compartments, balanced rudders, etc., it is lagging behind the "China" country ().

The same is true of the Lumi Gun, which offers a high level of accuracy with its ultra-slender barrel, but its low bullet weight and charge make it a little less powerful, and the firing method is also outdated,.........,

"Actually, what this official wants is just Lu Mirui's double-layer sleeved barrel technology and that special wooden gun" Qin Lin bluntly told Zhao Shizhen about his intentions, and pointed to a Lu Mi gun left by Murad: "Look at its butt, it is also very imperfect." ”

The butt of the Lumi gun was small, unlike the guns of later generations, which were fired against the shoulder, but were sandwiched under the armpits.

Zhao Shizhen immediately said: "Xia Guan has thought of a way, which is to install a blade on the back of the butt, so that when the enemy rushes closer and has no time to reload and shoot, you can reverse the body of the gun and use the knife on the butt to cut them." ”

Uh, Qin Lin smiled dumbly, he didn't expect Zhao Shizhen to have this kind of design, and hurriedly said: "Master Zhao is better to see if this method is better?" Add a seat under the barrel of the gun" to put it bluntly, it is the rifle bayonet of later generations, and a bayonet seat is added under the body of the gun, and you can usually do without a bayonet, and then put the bayonet into the seat when it is possible to fight hand-to-hand.

Before the Ming Dynasty, there were also bayonets, but the tail of the bayonet was inserted directly into the muzzle, so that wherever the bayonet was installed, it could no longer shoot.

This model proposed by Qin Lin took into account both shooting and hand-to-hand combat, and could be flexibly converted, so it has been widely used in wars for hundreds of years in later generations.

Zhou and Chen are not the two principals, Zhao Shizhen is knowledgeable, and immediately admired Qin Lin to the ground, if this is done, wouldn't guns be able to replace spears in the future? A musketeer with hand-to-hand combat ability will be a revolution on the battlefield......

"Follow me, anyway, Lao Zhao, you are not from the right path, why bother mixing in the civil service?" Qin Lin patted Zhao Shizhen on the shoulder: "The matter of technology transfer, I rely on you to help me deal with Murad." Zhao Shizhen didn't even hesitate at all, and nodded categorically,!。
