"Deal!"

Wang Hengyue no longer hesitated: "Brother, I'll get you a silver ticket, and I'll ask Manager Du for everything." I will send someone to inspect the machine, everything is qualified, and it will be delivered in person, and my brother will be afraid that someone will ship it back! ”

"Good! Doing things is refreshing! Charlie Du said with a smile.

Wang Hengyue thought for a while, Liu Sihai had stayed abroad and went to the Krupp factory for an internship, so it was most appropriate to send him to go with Charlie Du.

called in Liu Sihai at the moment, carefully admonished a few words, and asked him to bring a few soldiers, change into civilian clothes and go with Charlie Du.

When Charlie Du and Liu Sihai left, Wang Hengyue was still not at ease after thinking about it, so he called Li Yifeng in again and asked him to take a platoon of soldiers to keep in touch with Liu Sihai at any time, and no matter what, he would send this batch of machines to Rong County safely.

The machine is down, but the follow-up funding has become a big problem. As soon as the 50,000 taels of silver went out, Wang Hengyue didn't have much money left in his pocket.

If nothing else, the factory building alone is a big problem.

Where to build an arsenal, and where to get the money to build a factory?

I have an investment in Qin Guangcheng, and the salt well is ready to start mining, but it can't be turned into silver immediately.

called Yang Fangyun in and asked him to go to Chengdu again, and after finding Qin Guangcheng, he only said that he was in urgent need of money here, and asked him to sell the shares of the railway company he bought for him and convert them into silver, no matter how much.

The matter was serious, Yang Fangyun didn't dare to delay, and left in a hurry. Wang Hengyue immediately called Li Yifeng, Xu Mu, and Deng Xia in, and roughly explained the preparations for opening an arsenal, and Deng Xia immediately reacted: "Do you want to ask my uncle for help?" ”

"That's what it means." Wang Hengyue nodded: "Lao Tzu has just gone out for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and now the pockets are cleaner than Lao Tzu's face."

Several people laughed together, and Wang Hengyue also smiled: "Lao Tzu has run Yanjing and a factory again, there is really no place to think about silver, there is no way, I can only be cheeky to ask Xianggong for help." ”

"The teacher has money" Li Yifeng groaned: "If you want to really run an industry, the teacher is also willing to give money, but our arsenal is secretly made, and it is impossible to say whether the teacher can agree." ”

"No matter, anyway, I don't want this face today, no matter what, I have to let Xianggong help me." Wang Hengyue stood up as he spoke, and he couldn't help but smile:

"With his two apprentices and a nephew to the door, Xianggong never imagined that we were going to fight the autumn wind and knock on the bamboo."

Li Yifeng and the three of them also laughed

"Wang Bang wants to set up a factory?" Zhao Xi heard what he meant, and frowned slightly: "Wang Bang is leading soldiers, how can he be interested in setting up a factory?" If this factory wants to run well, it is not something that a layman can understand. ”

Wang Hengyue did not hide it, and told all the actual intentions of the factory.

The more Zhao Xi listened, the tighter his brows locked, and after a long time, he frowned and said: "Say, this opening an arsenal is not child's play, you are nominally manufacturing mining machines, but secretly you are producing weapons, and if you want to be known by the imperial court, you must be convicted of the capital crime of attempting rebellion!" ”

"I've thought of that." Wang Hengyue said: "But I really have no choice, Xianggong also saw it, when I first came to Rong County, I wanted no people, I wanted weapons or no weapons, and I relied on myself to try to help Xianggong." This arsenal, if you want to get the above to agree, I don't know how many twists and turns, even the machine bureau run by Ding Baozhen and Ding Governor Xian was opened and stopped by the imperial court, stopped and opened, and the dignified governor is still like this, not to mention my small help? ”

Zhao Xi nodded slightly, Ding Baozhen's twists and turns in opening the machine bureau, and the huge resistance encountered, most people in Sichuan know. Even for this matter, he was almost punished by the imperial court several times.

"Most of the weapons used by the first team now are purchased by foreigners." Wang Hengyue continued: "Although my first team won a great victory in the suppression of the rebellion in Tibetan Province, Jiang Dazong used most of the bullets that he had bought with great difficulty, and if he did it again, the brothers could only play with the enemy with their bare hands. The lifeblood of this weapon is in the hands of foreigners, and sooner or later something big will happen, so Heng Yue is planning to open this arsenal! ”

In the suppression of the rebellion in Tibetan Province, Zhao Xi's two disciples and a nephew have all experienced it personally, and Xu Mu said at the moment:

"Teacher, in the first battle of Tibetan Province, bullets flew sideways, and it was absolutely unimaginable not to be on the battlefield in person. If you don't have your own factory, students think it's a big problem. ”

"Although Lord Wang is just a helper, he is dedicated to running a new army." Li Yifeng also said: "The first thing in the new army is that it is well-armed, and at the moment, even bullets cannot be guaranteed, so how can we talk about defending the homeland and the country?" ”

Deng Xia stood up and said respectfully, "Deng Xia thinks the same way. Lord Wang in the name of the Machine Bureau, in fact, the production of weapons, although it is a big rebellion, but there is really no way out, Deng Xia and the two senior brothers, willing to bear this crime with Lord Wang! ”

Seeing that his two proud students and his nephew were on Wang Hengyue's side, Zhao Xi was a little curious.

Let Li Yifeng and the three of them follow Wang Hengyue, the original intention was to let them exercise more, so that they could find a bright future for them in the future, but I didn't expect that there would not be many times when these three people had already admired Wang Hengyue so much, and they helped to speak everywhere.

However, since Wang Hengyue came to Rong County, the things he has done are really beautiful.

"What is the way to prepare for it?"

As soon as he heard Zhao Xi's relief, Wang Hengyue was overjoyed: "I have bought the machine and am sending someone to inspect and receive it, but this plant and follow-up funds are a big problem." I don't want to hide it from Xianggong, I really don't have any silver in my pocket. ”

Zhao Xi smiled slightly: "The factory is easy to manage, and a factory can be opened on the top of the cymbals three miles south of the city, which is spacious and hidden, which is the most suitable." ”

Cymbals on top? That place Wang Hengyue once went to see, and it was indeed the most suitable place to start a factory.

"As for the funding." Zhao Xi thought for a while: "In this way, since the machine has been bought, I will take care of the funds for the opening of the factory and the three months after the start of construction, and it will be my share." ”

Wang Hengyue was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him repeatedly, but Zhao Xi said with a smile: "Actually, you don't need to thank me, this factory is a profitable thing, and I don't think Hengyue can use so many weapons and bullets, and he can still try to sell them in the future, can the future funds of this factory be solved?" Maybe you can make some money. ”

Wang Hengyue was thinking about this in his heart, and Zhao Xi's face was straight at this time:

"In other words, the reason why I agreed to start a factory with you is also for Rong County. At present, the revolutionary party and bandits are raging everywhere, and the future safety of Rong County can all be entrusted to you! ”
