Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In King Qin's mansion, all the generals of An ** gathered over. The big guys looked at each other one by one, and their faces were not very good, it was a good thing to expand their territory and make contributions.

However, Shaanxi is in a state of extreme distress, and the army of Tartars is stationed in northern Shaanxi, and the army and the people have to rely on the support of Henan to support it, and they will be transported all the way, and it is difficult to count how much grain and grass will be lost.

Fang Jianming held a stack of account books, and when he saw Gu Zhenhua coming, he hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo, the grain in Xi'an is only enough to eat for three days, and the soldiers who surrendered only have two meals a day, one dry meal and one thin meal, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid there won't even be enough porridge to eat!" ”

6 Yong also said: "Grandpa Guo, it's not that we complain, but you also know that we have a lot of training, and we don't have three full meals a day, so we can't train at all. ”

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea!" I'm a family member, and I have to worry every day! ”

Li Xu said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, you can have an idea for this trouble, but we are all at a loss." ”

"I don't have any good ideas, the geography of the grain is not successful, then I can only buy it, there is not much grain in Jiangnan, I think I might as well go to Sichuan to buy it, that is the country of abundance, don't worry about not getting food."

As soon as he heard Sichuan, all the generals present were startled, and Fang Jianming was also shocked.

"Grandpa Guo, Sichuan is in the hands of Zhang Xianzhong!"

"So what, we can even subdue the Dashun army, let alone Zhang Xianzhong."

Fang Jianming scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "I didn't mean that. Rather, but Zhang Xianzhong is afraid that he will not sell food! ”

6 Yong said: "That's right. Nowadays, food is more expensive than anything else, even if we take real money and silver, Zhang Xianzhong may not be willing to sell, I think most of it is in vain. ”

"Hahaha, you can't use gold and silver, can't you use weapons? Don't we have guns, artillery, spears and knives? Can Zhang Xianzhong not want these things? ”

Sell weapons!

A level of bombs exploded in the middle of everyone, this grandfather is really whimsical, he dares to think of anything!

Li Xu stood up first: "Grandpa Guo, selling weapons will definitely not work, we don't have many guns and artillery, give it to Zhang Xianzhong, what should we do if he turns around and beats us?" And once it is known to outsiders. I'm afraid that it will be said that it is also a big trouble! ”

Yue Poyu also shook his head like a rattle: "Grandpa Guo, to put it mildly, although An ** has strict training, he also takes advantage of the sharp weapons, if others also get our weapons." The gains certainly outweigh the losses. ”

Li Guo and Gao Yigong stood at the end, they looked at each other, and they also stood up.

"Grandpa Guo, it stands to reason that we are not qualified to intervene, but Zhang Xianzhong is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He occupied Sichuan, which happened to be behind the side of An**. We stand up to the Tartars head-on. There is one more wolf in the back, I'm afraid, I'm afraid the situation is not good! ”

After Gu Zhenhua put forward this idea, he was opposed by almost everyone, which is also a rare thing. Wu Kaijie stood up with a smile at this time.

"Everyone's concern is actually not understanding how to figure out the key!"

"Oh? Staff Officer Wu, do you have any high opinions? ”

Wu Kaijie said with a smile: "This selling weapons also has a great knowledge, the first batch of firearms that Grandpa Guo brought out from Beijing has experienced a lot of wars and has been basically scrapped, you might as well pick it up and sell it to Zhang Xianzhong." Even if Zhang Xianzhong gets such a firearm, what can he do? And with the gunpowder, gunpowder is required, and the granular gunpowder we use is still kept secret from the outside world! Just sell Zhang Xianzhong some powder gunpowder. ”

Gu Zhenhua also smiled: "That's right, as for the artillery, didn't we capture a lot of Tartar cannons!" Those artillery models are different, one artillery is the same, so why not sell them to Zhang Xianzhong! ”

As soon as the big guy heard Gu Zhenhua's words, his thinking also opened, and as soon as he heard about the sale of weapons, he thought that the other party was also equipped with the same equipment as An **, wouldn't he suffer a loss when the time came!

However, after such an explanation, it seems that there is nothing wrong with disposing of a little garbage.

"Grandpa Guo, Zhang Xianzhong is not stupid, he sold him garbage, can't he tell the difference?"

Gu Zhenhua laughed: "Are those craftsmen of ours eating dry rice, besides, even if Zhang Xianzhong sees it, what can it be, our garbage is much better than the equipment of the Great Western Army!" ”

Fang Jianming laughed at this time, "Grandpa Guo, since this is the case, you have to sell it for a good price." Take the bird gun as an example, you need eight catties of fine iron, each catty of iron needs one dollar and six cents of silver, it takes a month to drill the bar, and the wages want two taels, and other accessories, charcoal, processing, all of which are calculated to at least six taels of silver. Sell it to Zhang Xianzhong and add it to ten taels, old goods, give him a discount, eight taels is the lowest price......"

Fang Jianming gritted his teeth and calculated, Gu Zhenhua waved his hand disapplausively: "Okay, Jianming, you are shoes, hats and clothes when you are an armament, when will you be able to sell them according to the cost?" ”

Wu Kaijie also said: "That's it, that is, according to your price, 3,000 poles of fire is only 24,000 taels of silver, how much grain can be exchanged for?" I see, at least twenty or thirty taels! ”

Fang Jianming suddenly frowned: "Brother Wu, the cost of ironmaking has dropped now, and the drill chamber is much faster, if you increase the price again, it will be too dark!" ”

Wu Kaijie was still unconvinced, and was about to argue, when Gu Zhenhua waved his hand and asked them both to calm down.

"Staff Officer Wu, the level of your price, and Jianming is only half a catty and eight taels, all the way! You still don't understand that we are not selling weapons, but we are selling victories, incalculable victories! ”

Gu Zhenhua said bitterly: "Think about it, if we win a battle in northern Henan, we will completely reverse the situation in the world and keep the safety of tens of millions of people, how much does it cost." Ten taels or eight taels, twenty or thirty taels, you will be satisfied, you are simply ignorant, ignorant and ignorant! According to Benjue, a gun costs at least a hundred taels or more, and of course we can also barter. Three hundred quintals of rice, in exchange for a bird's gun! ”

Everyone heard Gu Zhenhua's words. There was a burst of horror at first, and then Wu Kaijie shouted at the top of his voice: "Quick, go find Doctor Wu, our grandfather is crazy!" ”

"Crazy you big-headed ghost!" Gu Zhenhua slapped the table and shouted, "You can't count your fingers and calculate how much a gun is worth!" ”

At this time, Fang Jianming finally sobered up a little, and he couldn't help but say: "Grandpa Guo, I remember that we bought twenty guns from Macao not long ago, and spent a total of three thousand taels of silver. It does add up to more than a hundred taels. ”

Wu Kaijie also knew about this, and he couldn't help but say: "That's Xiyi's latest musket, we bought it to learn technology." Based on these guns, we added dust covers to our new guns and made new carbines......"

In this era, there is no concept of cottages, as a noble Celestial Empire, it has always been a doctrine of take-it-or-leave-it. It is a great gift to look down on you with your things. The craftsmen of Ann ** unceremoniously borrowed Western technology, which is handy!

Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "Our weapons have been verified in battle, they are effective, and the results are brilliant. How much is it worth to destroy a Tartar! Zhang Xianzhong is surrounded by enemies. Doesn't he want to build up his army? As far as I know, although there are craftsmen in Sichuan, they will never be able to make a fine firecracker, so it is the best choice to buy it from An** at once. As long as Zhang Xianzhong is smart enough. No matter how high the price, he will accept it. ”

"Grandpa Guo. Even if your judgment is right, who can convince Zhang Xianzhong to buy weapons, we are not familiar with it! ”

"Isn't there Song Xiance, let this little man go to Sichuan."

When the big guy heard it, it was indeed too suitable for Song Xiance. This guy has a lotus tongue, is used to pretending to be a ghost, and he is also familiar with Zhang Xianzhong, and everyone immediately applauded.

Fang Jianming even smiled and said: "Grandpa Guo, it seems that you have already thought about it, and you will go to Mr. Song immediately!" ”

The generals below listened to the three of them arguing, and none of them could interject. 6 Yong finally swallowed and spit, and couldn't help asking: "Grandpa Guo, can you tell me how much these firecrackers can be sold for?" ”

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Counting gunpowder, artillery, swords, and armor, you have to exchange at least 500,000 loads of food, otherwise you will suffer too much!" ”

Fifty, ten thousand!

"Grandpa Guo, according to the price of grain in Jiangnan, 500,000 quintals is almost four or five million taels of silver!"

"It can't be counted like this, the price of grain in Sichuan is not expensive, but there is one million taels of silver. It's just that 500,000 quintals is still a drop in the bucket, and if you want to save millions of people in Shaanxi, you need more food. Let's take stock of the family and see what else we can exchange for money! ”

Wu Kaijie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, I have an idea, do we have to sell our weapons to Zhang Xianzhong?" ”

"Of course not, whoever gives money will sell it to whomever you want, except for the Tartars!"

"That's it!" Wu Kaijie smiled: "Do you want to sell some success to Zuo Liangyu?" ”

Gu Zhenhua stroked his palms and laughed, suddenly realized.

"Of course you can, Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong are rivals, how many times Zuo Liangyu has beaten Zhang Xianzhong to the ground. One of them is in Huguang and the other is in Sichuan, if Zhang Xianzhong buys it, Zuo Liangyu doesn't dare not buy it! ”

Gu Zhenhua rubbed his fists excitedly, and couldn't help laughing: "It's done!" Sichuan and Huguang are both important places for grain production, and now you can get one or two million quintals, and the big guys are frugal and guaranteed to last until the summer harvest! ”

The world is big, the food is the biggest, and as soon as I heard that it could solve the food impasse, the big guys all came to the spirit.

Wu Kaijie's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, if you want me to say that the so-called wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing!" ”

"It's better to steal than not to steal!" 6 Yong smiled and said, "Staff Officer Wu, what kind of bad water are you having?" ”

"This is not bad water, but a great idea, I wonder if I can't go directly to Zuo Liangyu and say how many guns I want to sell you, then he may not be willing to pay for it!"

Gu Zhenhua smiled: "Say, what do you have in mind?" ”

"Grandpa Guo, I think we should ask a businessman to come forward and pretend that he can get a gun, so that he can sell it for a good price."

While they were discussing, someone suddenly rushed in, holding a secret report in his hand.

Gu Zhenhua took it in his hand, and it was sent by Su Quanhe. It turned out that Nanming canonized two more people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zuo Liangyu was named the Duke of Eguo, and Zheng Zhilong was named the Duke of Yueguo, these two guys jumped up all of a sudden!"

When everyone heard this, they all knew that this was to use two people to balance Gu Zhenhua.

Li Xu pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand and sneered: "Grandpa Guo, don't care what they seal, we have strong soldiers in our hands, they are just a fart!" ”

Yue Poyu even said: "They didn't do anything, they were promoted, it's unreasonable!" Is there any justice in the imperial court? ”

"Stop yelling, it's a good thing, we should go and congratulate."

Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "Sue Mr. Xia, let him take fifty rods of Lu Mi Gong to visit Zuo Liangyu, just say that it is a gift from Benjue!" ”

"Grandpa Guo, if you don't give Zuo Liangyu some color, why do you give him a gift?"

"Hahaha, this is not called gift-giving, this is called promotion. Remember to choose the best fire gun and let Zuo Liangyu's dirt bun open his eyes! ”

……

Wuchang, the general government of nine provinces, the heart of China.

Since Zuo Liangyu occupied Huguang, he has been like a soil emperor, he doesn't have to do anything, but he is rising day by day, and he has even reached the title of the duke, which is really embarrassing and admirable.

Outside the gate of the Shuaifu, the carriages and horses are full of doors, and it is very lively, knowing that Zuo Dashuai has become the Duke of Eguo, countless virtuous people, etc., are vying to see him. Many people have no chance to meet each other, so they can only send gifts, and then turn around and say goodbye with full emotion.

Of course, there are some exceptions, such as a cyan carriage that entered Zuo Liangyu's mansion unscrupulously, and his family did not dare to stop him.

"Who is that, why is it so big?"

"Haven't you heard, it was sent by An **, and there is a force behind the people."

"No wonder, didn't you say that Zuo Dashuai and Ji Guogong don't agree?"

"What is going on in other people's heads, let's guess what, let's wait honestly!

Not to mention that these people were talking about it, Xia Shouli came to the inner courtyard of the Shuaifu, got out of the carriage, and a young general was already waiting here.

"Mr. Xia, you are here, and my father is waiting for you!"

"Hahaha, young marshal, a little heart." Saying that, Xia Shouli stuffed a small gold lacquer box into Zuo Mengeng's hand.

This young marshal Zuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Xia!" ”

Xia Shouli was taken to the main hall, and in the middle sat Zuo Liangyu, this guy is not tall, but his appearance is very ugly, his face is horizontal, there are many scars, and he looks particularly hideous.

As soon as he saw Xia Shouli, Zuo Liangyu also smiled and said: "Mr. Xia, you can be regarded as coming, and Benjue even misses it!" ”

Xia Shouli said with a smile: "I asked you to help put pressure on Nanjing before, and I just heard that you have been promoted to the Duke of Eguo, which is a double happiness." Ji Guogong is also very happy, and specially asked me to give you some gifts! ”

"Oh? Brother Gu, isn't he angry? ”

"Hahaha, what a mind-bending Ji Guogong is, the military generals are both glorious and lossy. If you look at the gift, you will know that Grandpa Guo is not angry! ”

While speaking, someone carried in two large boxes, opened them and looked at them, only to see that they were full of neat firearms. Zuo Liangyu is a person who knows the goods, so he grabbed a shot.

I couldn't help but admire: "What a good thing! ”
