Chapter 370: Selling Firearms
Pang Gang stretched comfortably, reached out and scratched Li Xuezhu's small nose and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't know what our Princess Jiayi has to find a husband?" ”
"Hmm!" After Pang Gang finished speaking, he couldn't imagine that this innocent little girl was a little shy and twisted in Pang Gang's arms, sneering and speechless.
This made Pang Gang a little strange, "Xuezhu, what's the matter with you, you told me!" Are you in trouble? ”
Li Xuezhu lowered her head a little embarrassed, buried her head on the choppy peak, and said in a low voice: "Husband, the day before yesterday, my father sent someone to send me a letter, saying that they also imitated Qingzhou to form a firearms battalion, but suffered from the shortage of firearms, so my father asked me to ask you if I could sell some firearms to him." ”
After speaking, Li Xuezhu shyly put her head in her husband's arms, he and Pang Gang have been married for more than half a year, but it is the first time to ask Pang Gang for someone, so she feels very embarrassed.
Pang Gang was not angry, thought for a while and asked, "In this way, does your father just want to buy a musket?" Or even artillery? ”
As soon as Li Xuezhu heard that there was a door, she hurriedly said: "If you can, my father still wants to buy thirty-six cannons!" ”
"Oh, your father wants that musket cannon?"
Li Xuezhu secretly looked at Pang Gang's face and said softly, "That's it...... It's the kind of muskets and artillery that our Qingzhou Army is using now! ”
"Hehe, your father's appetite is not small, I want to eat it in one bite and become a big fat man!" Pang Gang's face could not see joy, anger and sorrow at the moment.
Li Xuezhu said with some apprehension: "Husband, what if...... If not, I'll ...... The concubine rejected her father! ”
"It's impossible for your father to want the artillery currently in service in Qingzhou, and now we are expanding the army, and we have expanded two artillery battalions, and the artillery we use is not enough, how can there be rich artillery for sale." Pang Gang said resolutely, but seeing Li Xuezhu's somewhat disappointed eyes, he smiled again: "But if your father wants to buy a Mini rifle, it's not impossible, but the price is not cheap, you can reply to him, if you really want to buy a Mini rifle, the price of each gun cannot be less than one hundred taels of silver, and the ammunition is calculated separately, and because the inventory is not much, now it can only be sold to him for three thousand." ”
"So expensive?" Li Xuezhu's beautiful big eyes widened, and her small mouth opened widely: "Husband, isn't this too expensive, three thousand rifles are 300,000 taels of silver, who can afford it." ”
"Expensive?" Pang Gang shook his head and said: "Don't you believe that if this official sells it to the Manchu Qing Tartars, they will rush to buy it for five hundred taels of silver per gun." If your father thinks that the Minnie rifle is too expensive, I can sell him the Rumi guns, and the Rumi guns will only cost thirty taels of silver each. ”
The high range and accuracy of the Mini rifle are still much worse than those of modern rifles, but they already have the level of modern rifles, so Pang just dared to open his mouth so much.
As for the problem of worrying about the imitation of the North Koreans, Pang Gang is not worried, in history, the large-scale manufacture of the Mini rifle was achieved after industrialization reached a certain level, especially after the emergence of the steam engine, and now even if the Korean king Li Liang wants to imitate, it is also powerless, otherwise Putsman would not have rushed to Pang Gang so anxiously to ask for production technology.
Moreover, the service life of rifled guns is not long, the barrel service life of the Mini rifle is less than 200 rounds, and the rifles in the barrel will be smoothed out if they exceed this number, and the gun will naturally be scrapped. Therefore, Pang Gang is not afraid of what crooked thoughts the North Korean lord Li Ju will do after getting the Mini gun, as long as he controls the number, just like the Yankees in later generations who sold weapons to Iran, you just need to cut off the supply of your weapon parts and components, so that the weapons in your hands will become scrap metal in a short time.
"Oh!" Li Xuezhu heard her husband say this, and after thinking about it, she also felt that this was the reason, after all, there is no good product when it is cheap, if you don't like it, you can not buy it or buy other muskets.
"Then I'll go back and reply to my father now!" Li Xuezhu was a anxious surname, so she couldn't answer Pang Gang, so she stood up and hurriedly ran to the inner courtyard, leaving only the stunned Chen Yuanyuan and the wryly smiling Pang Gang.
After Li Xuezhu left, Pang Gang lowered his head and smiled at the beauty in his arms and said, "Yuanyuan, what are you busy with all this time?" ”
"I didn't do anything, the concubine was rehearsing a song and dance with a few dancing girls." Chen Yuanyuan snuggled in her husband's broad arms, feeling very quiet and happy in her heart. Since marrying Pang Gang, Chen Yuanyuan has felt a completely different life from before, Pang Gang does not have the surname of a big man like most men in this era.
Unlike the majestic and decisive decision in front of the army, Pang Gang is very kind at home, whether he treats the wife of the family or the maid in the house, he has no arrogance, and he is very liked and loved by his subordinates.
In the house, whether it is Wei Manyao or Kong Ruolan or Li Xuezhu, they are very good to Chen Yuanyuan, and they are not as good as the bullying of the main house when she heard other sisters say that the Qinglou woman was bullied by the main house when she married someone else as a concubine, on the contrary, several sisters are quite harmonious, especially Li Xuezhu, although the status of the Korean princess is respected, but once she gets along, she seems to be very innocent and romantic, if Chen Yuanyuan has the best relationship with several sisters in the family, it is Li Xuezhu, so everything here makes Chen Yuanyuan feel very happy.
Pang Gang hugged Chen Yuanyuan's soft delicate body and smiled: "Yuanyuan, you sing a song for your husband!" ”
"Hmm!"
Chen Yuanyuan nodded obediently, cleared his throat, and a euphemistic voice sounded.
The ancient army is connected with mountain fires, and the new city is full of Yindi. Kyushu is like a tiger and a leopard, and the four seas are not mulberry.
The sky is full of clouds and weeping grass, and the river sky is full of snow and sand. The wild plum burns inexhaustibly, and you see two or three flowers from time to time.
Chen Yuanyuan sang gently and fluently, his voice was crisp and attractive, although it was only a cappella, but Pang Gang was also drunk when he heard it, he hugged the beautiful woman in his arms and proudly thought that this poor woman who was originally famous in history was my woman, her fate has changed because of me, and from now on there is only happiness in her life, and there must be only happiness.
"Yuanyuan, are you happy with your husband?"
"The concubine is very happy, she has never been so happy."
"Do you regret following your husband?"
"The concubine doesn't regret it, the most correct thing the concubine has done in her life is to marry her husband."
Under the grape trellis, the figures of the two slowly merged into a shadow, and the shadow grew longer and longer......
