The fold is not short, a dozen or so thick pages, sprinkled with thousands of words, but when it comes to the core, it is actually just two words - difficult! Look, there are 10,000 machine guns, 4,000 artillery pieces of all kinds, 300,000 rifles, and countless bullets and shells. That's right, this excerpt is just a draft, not the old man's holy decree, there is room for discussion, the problem is that once the lawsuit starts, God knows how much energy and scheming Hongqing will be involved, and this is obviously not a situation that Hongqing is happy to see!

If possible, Hongqing actually wants to replace all the troops of the Qing Dynasty, and at worst, the equipment of the border army must be upgraded, no side, because in a few years, the western Xinjiang should be in chaos, there are many places to use soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of the border army can be improved, perhaps it can avoid the tragedy of more than 50,000 soldiers killed in Qinghai in the memory, but I want to think about it, but I can't do it, there is no other, the production capacity of the Ministry of Industry is really limited, at least before the layout of the steel industry is completed, In fact, there are not many guns that can be made every year, not to mention the border army, even if it is quite difficult to supply the new army and the Fengtai battalion, how can it be possible to satisfy the lion like Lao Fourteen.

"If the fourteenth uncle is so proud, the little nephew admires, admires, and doesn't say anything, but the Ministry of Elimination and Elimination will allocate the required silver to the two, and the little nephew will not dare to miss the fourteenth uncle's major event even if he dies."

Since the old fourteenth has made it clear that he wants to make things difficult, it is obviously not a wise move to really debate with him, Hongqing will not do such a thankless stupid thing, and after reading the fold, but seeing Hongqing clapped his hands, he gave a promise with pride.

"Huh? Brother Qing'er is talking about this, according to the usual practice, the armament from the Ministry of Industry can only be accepted and accepted, and only after entering the arsenal of our Ministry of War can it be drawn silver? ”

Hongqing said it arrogantly, but the old fourteen was not satisfied, but seeing that his eyes were wide, he had unceremoniously pointed out Hongqing's cheating and cheating.

"Hey, the fourteenth uncle said that there is a convention, but it's all gadgets like knives and guns, and it's not worth three melons and two dates, and the Ministry of Industry can't afford to pay such a little silver, but right now, what you want is guns and ammunition, this is the master of burning money, according to your needs, the whole trick down, just the cost of work will cost more than seven million taels of silver, not to mention the loss or something, according to the calculation of the little nephew, really get it down, let alone 10 million taels of silver to lay the base, but you have to be in a hurry, if you don't have silver, It's hard for the little nephew to cook without rice, right? Otherwise, if Huang Mafa agrees to transfer the money from the household department, the little nephew will give up this life, and you have to help the fourteenth uncle clean up this batch of arms. ”

Hongqing is so easy to fool, this time I heard the old fourteen mention the convention, immediately snorted, and counted the detailed accounts with the old fourteen with his fingers, and in the end, he pushed the matter back into the arms of the old fourteen irresponsibly.

"You ......, Cheng, this is what your kid said by himself, Ming'er will be on the book, see how Huang Ama decides."

As soon as I heard Hongqing's words, even if the old fourteen was angry, he was just angry, but he didn't take Hongqing, there was no other, the military department had a plan to replace the armament, but it was not the one that the old fourteen had in hand, but another detailed five-year plan, as for this one, it was purely the old fourteen who privately made it out to embarrass Hongqing, and how could he really move to the court to discuss, if the old fourteen really did this, a "mediocre" big hat might be buckled on his head, this point, the old fourteen knew it in his heart, but it, but he never wanted to weaken his momentum, so he cursed with a gloomy face.

"Whatever Uncle Fourteen says, it's good, and the little nephew has no objection."

If the old fourteen really get such a plan to the court, although Hongqing is not afraid, but it will inevitably have a lot of trouble, if it is usual, it will be just that, but at this time it is a critical time for the adoption of the "Kyoto Treaty", and when the Ministry of Industry is preparing to start the promotion plan, Hongqing really has no intention of getting into such trouble, but, knowing that the old fourteen is making things difficult for himself just to get more benefits in the next conversation, Hongqing is unwilling to back down slightly, so he shrugged his shoulders and made a look of indifference. He replied with a smile.

"Hey, that's good, I heard that the old thirteen is tossing and planning to recruit a new army, do you have any thoughts on this?"

The purpose of the old fourteen to find Hongqing today is naturally not for the unrealistic military equipment renewal plan, it is just a disguise, the intention is just to get more bargaining chips for the next negotiations, and now this kind of intention is obviously bankrupt, the old fourteen's mood is not much better, but he will not forget the business because of this, but seeing that his eyes rolled slightly, he has already led the topic to the affairs of the new army.

Oh, isn't this right, if you want to be good, you should talk about it earlier, what are you doing with those bullshit armament plans, it's just taking off your pants and farting, it's too much!

Hongqing had long expected the true intention of the old fourteen's invitation, and he didn't care about his move to change the topic, of course, he couldn't help but slander the old fourteen in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to say more about it.

"Don't hide it from Brother Qing, the lord is very optimistic about this new army, the reason why the military department wants to change the armament is to train the whole army into the appearance of the new army, but the manpower is seriously insufficient, there is a shortage of experienced generals, the master originally planned to transfer a group of people from the new army to use, but he was afraid of affecting the important task of stabilizing the situation in Dongying, thinking and thinking, there is only a compromise method, well, so to speak, the master plans to select some people from the military department and the Fengtai battalion to the new army to experience it, and it will come in handy in the future. What does Brother Qing think? ”

The old fourteen is a master who will never give up until he reaches his goal, this time he saw that Hongqing was silent for a long time, he no longer waited silently, and after a haha, he put forward the request on his own.

"Tsk, this thing is not easy to do, Uncle Fourteen, you know, there is not a single word about the recruitment of the new army, and I don't know what the Huang Ma Law Department has planned, hey, according to the little nephew, the "Kyoto Treaty" has not passed the court for a day, and I am afraid that this recruitment matter will not be decided, headache, headache."

Seeing the old fourteen high-sounding stretching out his hand to install people, Hongqing would not be polite, and in turn hinted at the old fourteen, which basically means that there is no rabbit and no eagle.

"Well, Brother Qing is very scrupled, and the court is really not coming over, but then again, if Brother Qing can be a little more active in the promotion of the invention of the Ministry of Industry, things really don't seem to be difficult, it depends on Brother Qing'er's reluctance."

As soon as he heard Hongqing's offer, the spirit of the old fourteen was immediately lifted, and he hurriedly said another request from the eighth master's side.

"Uncle Fourteen said this well, if you give up, you can only get it, there is no reason in the world that only enters and does not leave, good, very good."

For the eighth master's offer, Hongqing has long known it, and is ready to give a certain amount of compensation, but if you want Hongqing to come up with something first, it is absolutely impossible, of course, it is okay to be perfunctory and wrongful.

"That's right, the world is big, the reason is the biggest, hey, the master is just a middle-aged person, so let's say, the master has a few good friends, I heard that there are forty-seven inventions to be promoted by the Ministry of Industry, I am very excited, this is to ask the master here, said that he plans to invest some silver into it, not much, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are still there, Brother Qing, you see if you can make a twenty or thirty good prospects, let's have fun together, how, can you give the master a real sentence."

There was a sense of compromise in Hongqing's words, and the old fourteen was happy, grinned, and unceremoniously opened his mouth.

"Oh, what Uncle Fourteen said, what can not be done, at present, the regulations of the Ministry of Industry have not yet been finalized, you let the little nephew give an exact answer, but what, the little nephew can guarantee that he will definitely not let the fourteenth uncle suffer a loss, so to speak, if the annual interest is less than thirty percent, the little nephew will make up for it, if you want to be higher, then the little nephew will not dare to say anything, as for the quality of the project, the little nephew can only say that it depends on the personal vision, alas, it is a pity that the little nephew has been dragged by the "Kyoto Treaty" for this period of time, I don't have the time to pay attention to the Ministry of Engineering, I have a headache, a headache! ”

Hongqing has its own policy for the promotion of the invention of the Ministry of Industry, but it has never been made public, in the huge Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, only Shen He, Hongqing's absolute henchman, knows a little bit about it, the reason why it is so secret, it is the eighth master and others, no, the old fourteenth mouth can tell how many inventions are to be promoted in the first wave of the Ministry of Industry, if the eighth master and others find out the truth, the consequences must not be easy to play, not to mention, in the matter of the "Kyoto Treaty", it is not so easy to cooperate with the eighth master, Because of this, it is impossible for Hongqing to tell the truth to the old fourteen, so he only vaguely talks about it.

"Ha, Brother Qing'er's words are not right, for others, it is a difficult thing, for Brother Qing'er, I'm afraid it's just a trivial matter, just three or two small things, Brother Qing just let it go, the master is not willing to give up this hundred and eighty catties, and he has to help with it."

Although Hongqing's words were vague, the meaning was clearly expressed, at least the old fourteen fully understood the meaning, and when he was happy, he made a promise even if he patted his chest. "Heh, then thank you Uncle Fourteen for your success, the little nephew still has some mundane matters to deal with, and he will leave first." The big guys are all understanding people, and they don't need to say too much to each other, they can just be aware of it, and now, the tacit understanding has been reached, and Hongqing is too lazy to talk more, so he got up, smiled and bowed his hand, and then went straight back to the Ministry of Works......
