Han Baozhen has another thing to do here.

Meng Chang, the emperor of Shu, wanted to buy arms.

Perhaps because he saw the sharpness of firearms, Meng Chang wanted to get some back, so he ordered Han Baozhen to specially propose to negotiate the purchase of firearms.

Baili Wuji said: "Han made this request very difficult. The output of this firearm is very small, and it is not enough to equip the Black Flag Army under a certain command, and the Black Flag Army has just made a truce with Shu, how can it be sold to Shu? ”

Han Baozhen said: "Baili envoy Jun is wrong with this, now that the peace agreement has been made, you and I will no longer be hostile." Today, I am ordered by my lord to buy some firearms and bring them back to equip the Shu army, and I will never be the enemy of the envoy, and I hope that the monarch will be perfected. ”

Baili Wuji thought about it again and again, and said reluctantly: "I don't know what kind of firearms the Han envoy plans to buy in his heart, and how many are needed?" ”

Han Baozhen replied: "It is said that every soldier of the Black Flag Army is equipped with grenades and mines, which are extremely powerful, and I was ordered to buy these two firearms. As for the quantity, the more the merrier. ”

Baili Wuji said: "Han Envoy can know that cast iron, the material used in grenades and mines, has always been used to cast money and weapons, and the cost is quite huge. ”

Han Baozhen smiled slightly and said, "Han understands that as long as it is reasonable, the price is easy to say." ”

Baili Wuji snorted and said: "Han envoy is a cheerful person, and he doesn't cherish himself with a broom, and he has to buy arms, but there is one thing, Han Envoy also knows that the Black Flag Army has just gone through the war, and the arms inventory is not much, if Shu wants to buy it, it can only be ordered, and it will be delivered in three months, how?" ”

Han Baozhen bowed and thanked: "Yes, the envoy has thanked the envoy for a hundred miles here." ”

"For specific matters, the secretary in charge of this government will be responsible for discussing with the Han envoy in detail, and I will not accompany him."

Han Baozhen thanked him again and got up to leave.

After he went out, Xu Shiming, the secretary in charge who had just been orally appointed by Baili Wuji, couldn't hold back any longer, and said to Wuji anxiously: "Lord, how can such a sharp weapon be easily sold to Shu State, if Shu State reneges on the peace treaty, isn't this impossible to get along with the Black Flag Army itself?" ”

Wuji looked at Xu Shiming with a smile, this is his real face, he pretends to be Kong Ming on weekdays, and he has a free and easy style with a bamboo in his chest, and his old slippery head can't hold back.

Wuji opened his mouth and said: "I have already said that firearms cannot be kept secret forever, and the manufacture of grenades and mines is not complicated. Xu Junshi don't have to worry, he has thought about it, instead of letting the local feudal towns develop it on their own, it is better to sell it to them as soon as possible, make a big profit, and supply the treasury to improve the people's livelihood. ”

Xu Shiming knew that this was the case, but he was still worried.

Seeing that Xu Shiming still hadn't figured it out, Wuji said to Xu Shiming: "Mr. thinks that this time the Black Flag Guard has won several battles and conquered the capital cities of the four states, relying on the fact that the Black Flag Army has firearms in their hands?" ”

Xu Shiming replied: "Nature is the most important reason, of course, there is also the reason for the bravery and long-term training of the Black Flag Guards. ”

Wuji said: "Sir is not right, although the victory won by the Black Flag Guard is due to firearms, but if there is no spirit of sacrifice and death of the Black Flag Guard, and there is no confidence that he will definitely defeat the enemy, even if he has firearms, it is impossible to win many battles." Sir, do you know about the bloody battle at the east gate of Chungju Castle in Ludo? ”

"I heard that."

"More than 3,000 Black Flag guards faced more than 10,000 Shu troops, didn't they defeat them the same? Whatever it is, it is a breath of blood, and it has nothing to do with firearms. The victory or defeat of a war still depends on people, and whether a weapon is sharp or not has an impact on one or several battles, but it is not enough to affect the direction of the war. ”

"Moreover, firearms also have their shortcomings, especially the current manufacturing capacity is not enough to meet the needs of combat, for example, it cannot be used in rainy days, and the ability to resist moisture and moisture is insufficient. If the grenade produced in the workshop is put in the warehouse, if it is not used within a year, how is it different from waste? ”

"If the firearms in the hands of the Black Flag Army are not used for months, they will have to be replaced. This is another reason why I ordered that only spare parts should be stored in the warehouse, and that assembled firearms should not be stored. Imagine that gunpowder will be damp, but other accessories will not be damp, and the natural cost will be much lower. I promised the Shu envoys to sell arms to them after three months, and these three months are just the right time to replace the firearms in the hands of the Black Flag Army, and if they are replaced, they can also be exchanged for money and goods, this business should be good, right? ”

After Wuji finished speaking, Ha Lu Ha Da smiled.

Xu Shiming also understood, three months later, when the goods were delivered, they would be inspected one by one, one by one, who would know that if they bought it back and put it for a few months, they would pull nothing and nothing.

Yin, too yin. This is Xu Shiming's true evaluation of Baili Wuji's move.

"Xu Junshi can sell arms to Jin and Shu at the same time, and they are scheduled to be delivered in three months, so that all the black flag army's hands and inventory will be sold, and at the same time the exchange funds will be used to expand the production capacity of the workshop. When you negotiate with the Shu envoy tomorrow, you must ask for a deposit of more than 30%, and the price is three times the cost, which is the bottom line. By the way, after receiving the deposit, I sent dividends to the two patriarchs of Padang by the way, so that they would not be counted behind their backs. ”

Xu Shiming responded: "No." ”

In fact, there is another reason that Baili Wuji did not say in his heart, that is, even if there are firearms in the hands of the feudal towns in various places, if the commander does not know how to use firearms and tactics, it is still impossible to give full play to the maximum power of firearms.

It is easy to get firearms, and you can sell them as long as you pay them, but it is not so easy to really train a generation of generals who know how to command firearms in combat. That's at the cost of countless lives.

What's more, more powerful firearms are being developed in the armory.

The next day, Xu Shiming brought the contract and presented it to Wuji, Wuji glanced at the treaty above, Xu Shiming actually talked about the price to five times the cost, and paid a deposit of fifty percent in advance. Baili Wuji couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Han Baozhen, it's really your misfortune to meet Old Man Xu.

With this contract, it will naturally be easier to negotiate the arms business with the Jin Kingdom in the future.

In addition, An Siqian and Wang Chuhui were also sold by Xu Shiming at a good price.

After using up the seal, the old and the young looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and burst into a hearty laugh.

After issuing a document officially appointing Xu Shiming as the secretary, Baili Wuji returned to the state government and stabbed history to Guizhou, that is, Baili Wuji's father handed over the affairs of Badong County, and suggested that his father should be succeeded by Wei Lan as the commander of Badong County.

Seeing his son's request, Baili Yuanwang naturally would not object.

In this way, Padang County is still in the hands of Baili Wuji.

After the sweet potato harvest in the two counties of Guizhou, Baili Wuji also promoted the planting of sweet potatoes throughout the three prefectures under its jurisdiction.

This move has been unanimously praised by the people of Sanzhou, and it has also allowed Baili Wuji to gain a firm foothold in Sanzhou since then.
