Chapter 275: Short Musket

Li Weiguo has been spending money like running water recently, and the cost of military spending plus the procurement of raw materials and goods is like flowing water, and the more than 60,000 taels of silver he earned from trading before have only been more than two months old, and this is about to run out!

It's really not a good family and don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!

No, it's time for the next sale. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In two months, now the cars and horses in Tongxiang City have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the speed is staggering.

Tongxiang people are busy every day at this time, weaving cloth, spinning yarn, but far from enough, the carriage and horse line every day and a steady stream of tea and cloth from other places to come back.

Thirty ships of cargo, two months' time, were finally ready.

Now Wang Zhi's relationship with the imperial court is good and bad, so Li Weiguo seized the time and tried to make the business bigger every time.

Thirty ships of cargo, a few hundred of rented carriages, and several times before they could be transported.

Came to Zhapu as usual.

Late at night, the lantern shows three.

Chen prawns came as scheduled.

"This is quite a movement!"

Chen Da Prawn didn't like Li Weiguo very well, but now he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the goods like a mountain.

The goods in front of me have piled up, but the carriage is still squeaking and transferring.

It seems that even if this goods are moved until dawn, they will not be able to finish moving! The little imperial history in front of him didn't think that he still had some means, and he was able to get so many goods!

Chen Da Prawn couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Did Boss Wang mention this business?"

Li Weiguo asked.

"Yes, Boss Wang said, as long as your court wants to do business, no matter how many goods there are, my family will accept them all!"

Chen prawn said.

Now it is the honeymoon period of the relationship between Hu Zongxian and Wang Zhi, and a year later, Hu Zongxian will bring this Wang Zhi to Zhejiang.

Looking at the mountains of goods in front of you, isn't the silver money you draw considerable?

Although he is disgusted with Li Weiguo now, looking at the money, Chen Da Prawn doesn't seem to think that Li Weiguo is so annoying!

"Thank you Boss Wang for your generosity, now it can be regarded as taking what you need, Chen prawns, you are also quite tired from it!"

For the first time, Li Weiguo also gave a small gift to the Chen prawn in front of him.

The gift is not big, but it was given from the hands of the imperial court, and it is estimated that it is enough for the Chen prawn in front of him to be happy for a while.

"Don't dare, don't detain my family, as for the gift, I don't dare to take it!"

Chen Da Prawn obviously still remembers the last revenge.

"Last time, you and I didn't know the roots, the so-called careful sailing of the boat for ten thousand years, now that we are back and forth, we are also familiar, why do you hold on to it like this?"

Li Weiguo was a little displeased, but he said so.

His subordinate Jiang always shouted angrily, scolding Chen Da Prawn for not knowing how to lift.

Now that all the three hundred soldiers and horses in Tongxiang are here, I believe that it is only a quick moment to win this Chen prawn, but this is a business after all, and it is not good to add swords and the like.

I have a gun in my hand, so I don't panic.

"Humph!"

Chen Da Prawn had no bottom in his heart, but in order to save his face, he still snorted and accepted the gift.

"Get on board!"

Chen Da Prawn roared, and the guys on the boat jumped down, and they began to move to the boat.

There are 30 ships of cargo this time!

Chen Da Prawn's sea boats are simply not enough, and Li Weiguo also rented some boats to come over.

Naturally, this is also an important branch of Li Weiguo's anti-Japanese strategy.

At present, there is not much money in the Tongxiang army, and when the money is abundant in the future, Li Weiguo will make some sea boats!

In fact, the key to fighting against the Japanese is not on land, but on the sea.

In the Ming Dynasty, since Zheng He went to the West, the navigation industry was almost abandoned, so the strength of the Ming army at this time could be said to be vulnerable.

If I can have a powerful sailor in the future, why should I be afraid of that wolf at that time?

Imagine that it is my Ming sailor who crosses the seas, not your pirate ship! At that time, before you can set foot in the land of Daming, you will be wiped out by my Daming sailors! How can you still get out of it?

At present, leasing sea ships, Tongxiang people disguise sailors in it, and they are also the first batch of seafarers in Tongxiang Sailors, and it will naturally be a lot of benefits when Tongxiang sets up a sailor.

There was so much cargo that the wagon creaked and creaked, and when it was dark, it was barely finished, and the sailors quickened their pace and moved it to the ship.

The day is about to dawn, although the matter of doing business with the Japanese is agreed by Hu Zongxian, but after all, it is still a little bad to do so in a large court.

It was already dawn, and thirty ships of cargo had just been moved.

Tongxiang 300 soldiers and horses, plus hundreds of hired farmers, as well as hundreds of sailors of Chen prawns, thousands of strong men moved all night to barely finish the goods, you can imagine how much this goods are in front of you!

"Gone! I'll give you all the money then! ”

Chen Da Prawn waved his hand and said.

This person is only equivalent to a courier runner, and the real business is done with Wang Zhi and these people.

The Japanese market is controlled by Wang Zhi, and this Chen prawn is only in the middle, so this business can only wait until the goods arrive in Wang Zhi's hands to settle the money.

has already done business once, Li Weiguo naturally knows it, and with a wave of his hand, he let everyone leave.

Chen prawn's boat said that it would leave.

Li Weiguo looked back, and the men in Tongxiang seemed to have stars in their eyes.

Last time with this Wang Zhi business let Tongxiang people make a lot of money, now do business, a lot of people are full of expectations, are all white flowers!

"Gone!"

Li Weiguo smiled intentionally, and waved everyone away.

The people in Tongxiang have benefited a lot from this trade, and now these people have become loyal to this maritime trade, so naturally they are indispensable to have stars in their eyes.

Jiang Jiang shouted to get into the car, and the Tongxiang people jumped into the carriage and squeaked back to the city.

……

"My lord, you are the great benefactor of Tongxiang, Tongxiang people admire you, but also worry about your safety, no, many people have advised me to build a general weapon for adults, the old man is not talented, and he built this weapon overnight, you take a look, can you use it?"

As soon as he arrived in Tongxiang, Lao Zhang Tou'er came up with a smile and said with a smile.

Li Weiguo looked at it, it was a flintlock musket, but it was a short version, equivalent to a pistol in later generations, but it was longer.

In order to facilitate heat dissipation, the muzzle is a little flare-shaped, which looks very good.

Add gunpowder to try it, and forty steps away from killing people!

"Good!" Li Weiguo laughed: "In a few days, I will also give a hand to the Tongxiang army, since it is a convenient thing, it is natural to promote it!" ”

The old Zhang Tou'er was still a little surprised when he heard this, and it took a long time to come to his senses.

"What did your lord say, and you want to give this Tongxiang sergeant a firearm of this kind?"

This short version of the firearm is only in Shangguan's hands.

But now, Lord Li actually wants Sergeant Tongxiang to have a hand?

Is there such a ruler in the world?

Although those officials in the court say that the people are precious, in their hearts, who cares about the lives of the people? It's really rare that Master Li can do this!

"Well, since it's a good thing, it naturally has to be distributed to soldiers for war and self-defense!" Li Weiguo said as a matter of course.

Perhaps at this time, Jiang Jiang and Wu Dayong only knew why the soldiers and civilians in Tongxiang City now favor this Li Weiguo so much!

The short musket in front of me knew that it was worth a lot of money, but the adults didn't feel sorry for the money, and now they were more concerned about the lives of the sergeants!

How can I be so superior? Besides, this Lord Li is still the imperial history of the imperial court!

The five bodies worshiped by the officials threw themselves to the ground, and Lao Zhang Touer couldn't help crying: "Tongxiang has you, it's really a blessing for me in Tongxiang!" What a blessing! ”

When the adults first came to Tongxiang, they killed nine Japanese people, and the Tongxiang people who were introduced by business were rich and noble, and every household now did not worry about food and clothing, and now the Tongxiang army was completed, and the adults wanted to equip the Tongxiang soldiers and horses with some good things as much as possible, so that the officials, where to find the Ming Dynasty?

Perhaps in Li Weiguo's view, this is just the quality that future generations of leaders should have, but now in the eyes of this Tongxiang people, if he can do this, he is really a god-like character!

Originally, it was Wenqu Xing who was an official, especially Li Weiguo or Jinke Tanhua! Now this Tanhua Xiaoyushi will build this Tongxiang with vitality, and regard the life of the sergeant as his own life!

Such a good official, it is simply Bao Gong alive!

Everyone's emotion made Li Weiguo a little inexplicable, Li Weiguo is really not pretentious, in his opinion, this may be just a basic quality that a Shangguan should have, but in the eyes of everyone in Tongxiang, this is simply the reincarnation of Bao Gong!

hurriedly reassured everyone: "The soldiers and civilians of Tongxiang are busy every day now, and this official, as the parent official of Tongxiang, naturally has to do his best." ”

Li Weiguo said, it's not that a big man crying on the street, Li Weiguo wanted to appease everyone's emotions, but unexpectedly, as soon as this remark came out, everyone was even more moved, and they cried even more excitedly!

Li Weiguo is also helpless, what is there to cry about? Haven't you seen someone who is an official?

"Okay, General Jiang, tell the sergeants to go to bed first, and after waking up, they will practice!"

The sergeants were busy all night, and their bodies were so tired, Li Weiguo said.

Since it can't be appeased, then give an order.

Jiang ordered the commander-in-chief, and then went to greet the soldiers.

Under Li Weiguo's "compulsion", all the sergeants and farmers dispersed, went home to sleep, worked all night, and were all tired, and they still had work tomorrow.

Li Weiguo stretched his waist, he was also tired, he had been busy all night, and his body was already tired, so he waved goodbye to everyone and went back to sleep! (To be continued.) )
