As soon as the two directors stood up like this, they choked Lu Zhenfei so much that they couldn't speak, seeing that Lu Zhenfei was a little embarrassed, Shi Kefa reached out and handed the folder in front of him to Lu Zhenfei, Lu Zhenfei sat down and looked down.

"You're Director Wu of the Organization Department, right? Didn't sleep last night, right? Luo Jian asked Director Wu lightly, and many people turned their heads to look at Director Wu, and saw that he did have dark circles under his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.

"What do you mean by that? The subordinate slept well last night. Director Wu obviously didn't understand the deep meaning of Luo Jian's words.

"Hmph, yes, you slept well, and it was the Japanese ****** who served you well, right?" Shi Kefa said coldly.

As soon as Shi Kefa said this, Director Wu suddenly stood as if he had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't speak anymore, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

"Hehe, there is such a shameless person, such a dirty transaction is so righteous and awe-inspiring by him, my Lu can be regarded as seeing it today!" Lu Zhenfei slammed the folder in his hand onto the table and said with a sneer at the two.

"Who else has accepted the money sent by the Japanese envoy and the beautiful woman wants to help them speak, please say it as soon as possible, right? After that, we have other things to discuss. Luo Jian pointed to the audience and said.

An important reason why Luo Jian dared to do this today was that he already knew that none of the cabinet members sitting on the stage had accepted any gifts from the Japanese Mission, although the key targets of the Japanese Mission were the people sitting on the stage.

"You don't say yes, do you? It doesn't matter, you know it in your own heart, we also know it in our hearts, and we will hold a special cabinet meeting to discuss how to deal with this matter. ”

Luo Jian's words made cold sweat begin to ooze from the foreheads of many officials in the audience, it seems that this matter will never be settled like this, and some people began to regret why they accepted the woman sent by the Japanese.

Although many things were decided in the end, this meeting always gave people the feeling of unhappiness.

After all, Sakai Tadashi was unable to meet Luo Jian, the governor of the Nanjing government. He was not even able to see Shi Kefa, but Zhu Yujian, the foreign minister of the Nanjing government, summoned him, and before Sakai Tadashi could put forward the demands of the Japanese shogunate, he was reprimanded by Zhu Yujian.

I have to say that Sakai Tadakatsu's endurance is surprisingly good, and he has been standing with his bow during Zhu Yujian's reprimand. And did not show the slightest hint of displeasure.

When Zhu Yujian demanded that the Japanese shogunate return the traitor who had fled to Japan, Sakai Tadashi showed a nervous look on his face.

"Lord Zhu of the Enlightenment Kingdom, the minister has not heard of this person in Japan." Sakai Tadakatsu pondered for a long time before speaking.

"Do you think we're asking you for someone without any reason?" Zhu Yujian stared at Sakai and said coldly.

"Please wait a minute, my lord, I'll ask." Sakai Tadashi asked the accompanying officials a few words in Japanese, and then turned to Zhu Yujian and said: "In April this year, there was a craftsman from Shangguo who arrived in Japan, but his name is not the rain stone, but another name, what is the specific name." They also can't tell. ”

"Whether it is or not, you give us this man back!" Zhu Yujian said unceremoniously, at this time, Zhu Yujian has a bit of the demeanor of the prince at the beginning.

"Lord Zhu of the Kingdom of Qi, the minister has a request, it is not difficult for us to send this person back, please ask if the country can sell some Yangzhou rifles, if the country agrees to the minister's request, the minister will arrange this matter immediately after he returns." Sakai Tadashi bowed down and said to Zhu Yujian.

"Hmph. Are you blackmailing us? Zhu Yujian snorted coldly and said.

"Don't dare, this person is a craftsman who Japan has spent a lot of money to make muskets. If he is gone, the musket of the kingdom will not be able to be crafted, and will have to be purchased from the kingdom. Sakai Tadashi said in a tone that he felt was neither arrogant nor humble.

"Okay, I'll agree in principle, but this matter needs the approval of the Metropolitan Governor and the Overseer, how much do you want to buy?" Zhu Yujian said helplessly.

"I want to buy 2,000 sticks." Sakai looked up and said.

Speaking of which. Sakai Tadakatsu felt a helpless sense of humiliation in his heart. After spending 200,000 taels of silver to get the craftsman back from the Manchu court, he thought that he could make a musket like Nanjing, but he knew that he had made it, but only a few of them were made in a month, and what was worse was that the musket made could not be used a few times at all.

"So much? You sit down. If the Governor and the Governor approve it, we can discount the price, you have bought it before, I remember it seems to be five hundred taels of silver, right? Now for the sake of the good relations between the two countries, let's pay two hundred taels of silver, and when the time comes, we will hand over the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. "Zhu Yujian's role has changed very quickly, and now he looks like a businessman again.

"The minister asked Lord Zhu to say a lot of kind words to the governor and the superintendent, and the minister retired." Sakai Tadakatsu finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally completed a task arranged by Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Zhu Yujian's business here is going very smoothly, but Shi Kefa is a little unhappy.

"Xinghua, didn't you say that this neighbor of ours is an evil neighbor? Why did you sell so many firearms to them? If you sell one or two hundred, I won't say anything, but now you sell two thousand, aren't you afraid that they will bite us when they grow up? Xinghua, I'll be honest with you, I'm a little worried about our concession in Nagasaki. ”

"Hehe, Brother Xian, do you know what the cost price of our Yangzhou rifle is?" Luo Jian asked with a smile.

"I know, isn't it ten taels of silver? I said Xinghua, are you blinded by money? Shi Kefa asked with a frown.

"Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, willing to fight and suffer, they are willing to buy, we are willing to sell, I think this is normal? If you have money, you don't make money, that's the mallet. Luo Jian said with a smile.

"Xinghua, can you give me less hippie smiles? Do you have any plans? Shi Kefa asked with a glare.

"Brother Ken, in Japan, it's not the shogunate that has the final say, there are still daimyo in many places, these daimyo are nominally obedient to the shogunate, but in recent years, we have suppressed the shogunate very much, and these daimyo are beginning to move, why do you say that the shogunate is willing to spend so much money to buy our firearms, that is, they can't suppress the country." Luo Jian saw that Shi Kefa was really a little anxious, so he explained.

"Then we sold so many firearms to the shogunate, won't they clean up the country soon, and then come back against us when they finish cleaning up the country?" Shi Kefa asked suspiciously.

"Brother Xian, let me tell you quietly, don't tell others, there are several daimyo who have expressed their desire to buy firearms to us through merchant channels." Luo Jian said with a grin.

"Huh? Xinghua, you mean we all sell? Shi Kefa asked in surprise.

"Why not? They are fighting in full swing, and we make a lot of money, so why not do it? Luo Jian said lightly.

"Xinghua, you! We've known each other for so long, and today I've seen you through. Shi Kefa pretended to be serious and pointed at Luo Jian and said, and he laughed after speaking.

"Brother Xian, we dare to sell Yangzhou rifles are confident, yesterday I went to the military factory, Maozhong and Mizhi they have carried out a thorough transformation of the machine tool, in the future, the production of our bullets is not a big problem, the production efficiency of firearms will also be greatly improved, I want to get the machine gun out, the technical difficulty is not great." Luo Jian put away his grinning expression and said to Shi Kefa seriously.

"Machine guns? Is that the kind you have in your warriors? That's great. Hearing Luo Jian's words, Shi Kefa also became excited.

I don't know who revealed the news that the Japanese shogunate had purchased 2,000 Yangzhou Type 1 rifles, and many of the missions expressed their desire to buy this rifle when Zhu Yujian met with them, which made Zhu Yujian feel very annoyed, but he still reluctantly agreed to the requests of many missions.

Luo Jian sold firearms in Nanjing City happily, and of course he also made money happily, but Chen Zilong in the military factory outside Nanjing City was a little unhappy now.

The reason why Chen Zilong was unhappy was that the delivery time that Luo Jian promised these missions was too short, and with the current production capacity of the military factory, it would not be possible to complete it in a short period of time.

When Chen Zilong ran to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Nanjing City in a hurry, before he could speak, he was dragged to the wine table by Luo Jian.

"Xinghua, if you don't give me a way today, you won't be able to drink this wine." Chen Zilong glared at Luo Jian fiercely and said.

"Brother Mao, don't worry, you sit down first, today's table of dishes is specially prepared for you, don't go back to the factory when you come back today, you must spend the New Year with your family at home." Luo Jian was not in a hurry at all, and said to Chen Zilong slowly.

Chen Zilong looked at Luo Jian suspiciously, although he was bent on the construction of the military factory, Chen Zilong was an extremely smart person, seeing that Luo Jian was so calm, he knew that he must have a way, but he still sat down angrily.

"Xiao Liu, Xinghua sells Guanzi, you tell me, how to solve this problem?" Chen Zilong asked Liu Weimin.

"Hehe, Brother Mao, hasn't the Fourth Division already started to change its clothes? Are you going to go back to the rifle they knocked out? Liu Weimin said with a smile.

"Xinghua, Xiao Liu, aren't you going to sell these used rifles to them?" Chen Zilong asked suspiciously.

"Brother Mao, don't be impatient, we have already done an investigation, the frequency of use of the rifles of the fourth division is not high, and it is far from reaching the service life, wouldn't it be a pity to eliminate it and not use it? Let's go back to the factory and refurbish them, can you tell if it's new or old? Liu Weimin said with a smile.

"Profiteers, Xinghua and Xiao Liu, you are really profiteers! Well, I don't care, if they make a fuss, you can deal with it, I have to eat my stomach first. "Chen Zilong is a sincere person after all, and when he heard that Luo Jian and Liu Weimin were going to refurbish and sell the old guns, he always felt that he was not kind enough.

"Brother Mao, don't worry, we sold all these old guns to Japan, there are no good people in this country, who are you not pitting them?" Liu Weimin said with a smile.

"Xinghua, how much money can you make from selling firearms this time?" As soon as Chen Zilong heard that it was sold to Japan, he no longer bothered about this problem, and turned his attention to making money. (To be continued.) )
