The behind-the-scenes boss of Liaodong Foreign Trade Company turned out to be a woman, and she was a young beauty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is no doubt that the prefect was shocked at the first sight of Yan Bing.

However, in addition to the shock, the prefect also had a hint of joy in his heart.

Dealing with that kind of experienced hurter, the prefect thinks that he is not an opponent.

However, against a woman, the prefect is still very confident.

The two people who were thinking carefully about each other quickly got to the point.

The prefect, who has been high all the year round, looked at Yan Bing and asked in a domineering tone: "The government wants to buy at least five white rifles, I don't know if you have so many goods?" ”

Yan Bing replied confidently: "Adults underestimate our strength too much. Not to mention 500 rifles, as long as you can start at a price, we have 5,000 rifles? “

"What exactly is the price?" Seeing that Yan Bing didn't seem to be telling a lie, the prefect followed and asked.

Yan Bing replied in surprise without thinking about it: "For you, my lord, this price is not expensive at all. ”

"Specifically, twenty young men and their families can exchange a rifle and fifty rounds of ammunition, and to put it more directly, the people within the jurisdiction of adults, about seventy people can exchange a rifle and fifty rounds of ammunition."

"As long as the adults send these people to the docks, we will pay the adults a certain number of rifles and bullets according to the number of people!"

"Isn't this human trafficking? This is a violation of the laws of the imperial court, and this administrator will never agree to it! As soon as Yan Bing finished speaking, the prefect subconsciously refused.

Then, he directly questioned Yan Bing, "What do you want to do?" Don't you know that human trafficking is a violation of the law? ”

Yan Bing replied calmly: "No, my lord, you are wrong, we are not trafficking in human beings......"

Seeing that the prefect still had a disbelieving expression on his face, Yan Bing continued to explain: "Your Excellency may not know the other identity of our Liaodong Foreign Trade Company? ”

"On the surface, we are a German foreign company in Chongqing. In fact, this foreign trade company is the stronghold of the Liaodong Army to raise all kinds of materials in the Guannai! ”

"The Lord of the Liaodong Army should have heard of it, tens of thousands of Liaodong Army are fighting alone with the armies of the two major powers of Japan and Russia outside the Guan, and all supplies must be solved by themselves."

"And outside the gate is a bitter cold place, and there is nothing."

"In order to feed the tens of thousands of troops of the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army had to open a foreign trade company in the Guannai and exchange the weapons and ammunition captured by the Japanese and Russian armies for various other materials that they urgently needed."

"However, because of the limited weapons and ammunition captured on the battlefield, there is no doubt that the exchange will not be able to meet the needs of the Liaodong Army. As a last resort, the Liaodong Army came up with this method, exchanged weapons for people, and emigrated from the Guannei to the area controlled by the Liaodong Army. As long as there are people, the Liaodong army can at least be self-sufficient in food. ”

"You are all from the Liaodong Army?" The prefect's brows furrowed, and he asked Yan Bing.

Yan Bing didn't answer directly, but continued: "Exchanging immigrants for silver is also beneficial and harmless for adults. ”

"As far as I know, there are more than 800,000 people under the rule of the Lord, of which only 6,700,000 are registered. In other words, there are more than 100,000 black households under the rule of adults. ”

"Your Excellency can trade these blackmen for rifles. In this way, adults can buy valuable weapons at a very small price. ”

"Besides, a few years ago, the imperial court issued a decree calling on the people of various provinces to take the initiative to move to Guanwai in order to enrich the population outside the Guanwai. This matter was interrupted because of a sudden change outside the customs. ”

"However, the imperial court's will to emigrate outside the customs has not been abolished, and there is no hand to go back."

"Your Excellency immigrated the people under your rule to Liaodong outside the Guan, and my Liaodong Army gave your Excellency some weapons and ammunition as compensation. Speaking of which, at most, it can only be regarded as an adult's response to the will of the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with violating the laws of the imperial court. ”

The prefect did not reply to Yan Bing immediately. However, for this transaction, Yan Bing is full of confidence.

Because, Yan Bing already felt that when the prefect left, there was already a heartwarming expression on his face.

Sure enough, Yan Bing waited in the meeting room for less than half an hour, and the prefect returned to the meeting room.

Under Yan Bing's gaze, he replied in a calm tone: "This official agrees in principle to exchange immigrants for rifles in the hands of the Liaodong Army!" No, not only rifles, but since you have all the heavy machine guns and artillery on display, it proves that you also sell these weapons. So, I still have to buy heavy machine guns and artillery, but the price you offer is too high. ”

"If the price is right, I can order all counties to mobilize a total of 100,000 people to migrate to Liaodong."

Yan Bing was very happy in his heart, but in order not to suffer a loss in the negotiation, he replied as calmly as possible: "We can negotiate the price." But adults should also know that the weapons and ammunition we bought were all captured by the Liaodong Army from the two major powers of Japan and Russia on the battlefield, which is not easy! ”

"What's more, weapons and ammunition are already priceless here in Sichuan, and the average price is much higher than in other places. As for heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and artillery, it goes without saying that even if you have silver, you can't buy them. ”

After some bargaining, the two finally set the price at the price that Yan Bing had thought of at the beginning.

Fifty civilians, one rifle and fifty rounds of ammunition.

As for the heavy machine gun, Yan Bing directly offered the price of 5,000 people for a heavy machine gun and 500 rounds of ammunition.

As for mountain artillery, a scarce weapon that many foreign companies can't buy, Yan Bing was not polite at all, and directly opened his mouth and offered 20,000 people a price for a mountain cannon and 20 shells.

In the end, Yan Bing exchanged the ultra-low price of two mountain guns, four heavy machine guns, and 400 rifles from the prefect in front of him for 100,000 immigrants, which is almost equivalent to the population of the two counties outside the Guan.

The Sichuan-Shaanxi Governor's Mansion is also located in the city of Chongqing, and Governor Xiliang has not laughed for a long time because of the matter of raising weapons to form a new army.

Because of his meritorious service in saving the driver, Xiliang was directly promoted to the governor of Shanxi. In order to ensure the back of the imperial court, Xiliang repeatedly thwarted the invasion of Shanxi by the coalition forces in Shanxi, and fought with the coalition forces, and saw the strong combat effectiveness of the army equipped with new firearms.

Because of this, Xiliang, who was reactivated by the imperial court, began to form a new army in accordance with the will of the imperial court as soon as he became the governor of Sichuan, and trained an army for the imperial court that could resist the alliance of foreign powers.

However, it backfired.

The strength of the new army is in order, and training has begun, but there is still a big gap in the equipment of the new recruits.

After asking for help from the imperial court, Xiliang considered buying weapons on his own.

Although a lot of them were bought, these weapons simply could not meet the needs of tens of thousands of new troops, and the weapons bought back were still very messy.

After dealing with the day's government affairs, Xiliang gathered his staff again, frowned and discussed with everyone how to solve the problem of the new army's weapons.

An hour passed, discussions came and went, and nothing was solved except nonsense.

Staying in Xiliang with a disappointed face, and was about to end today's discussion, a guard suddenly barged in. (To be continued.) )
