In fact, the economic control of the United States on the earth is also a more flexible colonial method in the case of insufficient population, although it cannot be said that it is not clever enough, but compared with the colonial method that relies on its population advantage, the side effects are still greater, after all, it is not my race, its heart will be different, and people will not let you exploit it in peace.

Once the military strength of the United States weakens, other exploited countries will pounce on the United States like enemies, and the previous seemingly powerful forces will collapse like dominoes, and the United States, which originally seemed to be powerful, will also collapse in an instant.

The model of the Chinese collar will not have this kind of problem, and the advantage of population gives Fang Xiaoyu more choices. The Chinese can rely on the number of immigrants to directly change the demographic structure of the occupied territories and completely annex these areas into their own territory.

At that time, how to develop and build can be chosen at will, and when the new area is built, it can become the mainland of the Chinese territory like the previous one's own territory, and relying on such a snowball-like occupation method, the entire world will become the world of the Chinese people, and these are their own people, as long as there are no major mistakes in the policy, these lands will always belong to the Chinese people.

The court meeting was dispersed, and Xiahou Ying just wanted to turn back to the harem, but the old eunuch who was close to him suddenly stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, Fang Xiaoyu asks to see him alone." ”

"Oh?" Xiahou Ying was a little surprised, he had just dispersed to him and asked to see him again. Xiahou won and said: "Let him wait for me in the side hall." ”

"It's the emperor." The old eunuch was ordered to go down. "This little guy is really interesting." Xiahou Ying smiled and shook his head and walked towards the side hall.

Seeing the emperor come in, Fang Xiaoyu immediately stepped forward to salute. Xiahou Ying asked, "Is there anything important that you ask to see alone?" Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Weichen is here to present a new gun to the emperor." Xiahou won: "What? Is it your new work again? I'd like to see. "Firearms can't be brought into the palace casually, Xiahou Ying immediately asked the old eunuch to go outside the palace to bring the guns from Fang Xiaoyu's people.

Two long ebony boxes were placed on the main hall, and Xiahou Ying wondered, "Why are there two boxes?" Fang Xiaoyu pointed to a more ornate box and said, "In this box is a gun dedicated to the emperor for his own use, and the other is for ordinary soldiers." ”

The old eunuch immediately stepped forward and opened the ornate box and took out the rifle inside. As soon as the gun was taken out, it immediately shone with dazzling brilliance, the whole gun was gilded, the handle and handguard were made of fine sandalwood, and the cheeks and hands were sapphire, which glittered in the sun.

Fang Xiaoyu even installed a whole piece of artificial crystal on the back of the butt. This artificial crystal is not worth much, it is just that Fang Xiaoyu added lead to make it when the glass was made, but in this era when there is no artificial crystal, natural crystal is very valuable and difficult to carve. And artificial crystals are more crystal clear than natural crystals, and Xiahou Ying, who is used to seeing treasures, also gasped.

Fang Xiaoyu pointed to another box and said: "The gun in this is for soldiers, and it is basically the same as the one used by the emperor, but it uses relatively cheap materials, and the emperor is also asked to move the gun to test it." Xiahou Ying nodded and said, "Well, that's right, just follow what Qing plays, and set up the imperial garden." ”

Coming to the Imperial Garden, Fang Xiaoyu found a guard of his own. The guards around Fang Xiaoyu were all selected from the best of the best in the Iron and Blood Army, especially this guard named Qiu Rui, who was the fastest gunner under Fang Xiaoyu. On the Praetorian Guard's side, the gun tester was personally shot by Xiahou Huan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, which was specially arranged by Fang Xiaoyu in order to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two guns.

Holding the kind of revelor rear-loading gun that Fang Xiaoyu had modified before, Xiahou Huan scoffed at the seemingly ordinary gun in Qiu Rui's hand. He was very confident in the revolver rifle in his hand, and in his opinion, only the gun with the revolver had the fastest rate of fire, and the other guns needed to be fired once and reloaded once without the revolver, so he thought he had won.

Xiahou Huan is the emperor's nephew, and he has been the commander of the Praetorian Guard for almost ten years, so he is very familiar with the emperor, even if the emperor is behind him, he will not be restrained. He skillfully loaded the bullet and said to Jurui, "Boy, you are doomed." ”

Qiu Rui didn't speak, just smiled at Xiahou Huan, tested the center of gravity of the rifle with the loaded bullets, and took aim before nodding with satisfaction, and then he took the bullets out of the cartridge box and inserted them head down into the bullet belt around his waist.

Fang Xiaoyu saw that both sides were already ready, and turned around and said, "Your Majesty, can you start?" Xiahou Ying nodded and said, "Just time it for one minute, let's start." The old eunuch shouted, "Begin." ”

The little eunuch next to him turned the hourglass for timing upside down, and when he heard the password, the two men leveled their rifles almost simultaneously and began to fire rapidly. Xia Houhuan needs to pull the hammer after each shot, but Qiu Rui also needs to pull the lever after each shot to load, so the rate of fire of the first few shots is about the same.

But when Xiahou Huan's six bullets were fired, the gap was revealed. Xiahou Huan began to swing out the wheel, clean up the remaining paper shells of the bullets, and then load the bullets before shooting. Jury, on the other hand, fired thirteen rounds in one go, and then used his quick gun skills.

I saw Qiu Rui holding the gun in his right hand, and the bullet belt on his waist in his left hand was swiped, and three bullets arrived in his left hand, and then his left hand clicked continuously at the upper bullet like a phantom, and the three bullets quickly entered the chamber. He didn't reload the bullets, but fired the three bullets out of the lun, and then repeated the action again, three of them fired bullets, like a short burst of an automatic rifle, and Fang Xiaoyu who was watching it was also stunned.

The sand in the hourglass quickly leaked out, and the shooting results were very noticeable. Although Xiahou Huan was also a skilled veteran, he only fired eighteen bullets in one minute. And Qiu Rui relied on this hand-loaded stunt to surpass Fang Xiaoyu's belief that the theoretical firing rate of the lever rifle was forty-five rounds per minute, and reached a high speed of sixty-three rounds.

Xia Hou Ying clapped his hands again and again: "It's too fast, it's too fast." Then he said to Fang Xiaoyu: "Fang Aiqing, I wonder if this gun can change all my Praetorian Guards?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Of course you can, but this kind of gun is not easy to make, and Weichen can't make it quickly." ”

"It's okay, take your time, how long will it take for all of my 90,000 Praetorian Guards to change their outfits?" Fang Xiaoyu said: "Weichen's workshop can make fifty of these rifles every day, and this year is more than eighteen thousand, and it will probably take five years for all the Praetorian Guards to be redressed." ”

Xiahou Ying frowned and said: "It's indeed a little slower, if there is any loss during training, the time will be longer." Fang Xiaoyu said: "There is also the high cost of this kind of rifle, a rifle costs five hundred yuan to manufacture, and it is not easy to manufacture bullets, ten rounds of ammunition cost one yuan, and only Weichen's workshop can make it." ”

Xiahou Ying frowned and said, "So expensive? Fang Xiaoyu said: "The minister is loyal to the emperor, and he is willing to contribute half of the capital to make a gun for the emperor at half price." "In fact, the cost of a lever-type rifle is 200 yuan per piece, Fang Xiaoyu said that it is so high that the emperor will accept his favor, and it will be easy to do anything in the future, not to mention that the bullet can only be made by himself, and the cost of the bullet alone can make a lot of money, so why bother making a profit on the gun.

Xiahou Ying is not a person who is reluctant to spend money, he thinks that the best way to maintain his rule is that the Praetorian Guards are more effective than other troops, and he is willing to spend this money, but the cost of 500 yuan per gun is not low, and it will take 45 million yuan for all the 90,000 Praetorian Guards to be redressed.

Xiahou Ying said: "How can I make Aiqing pay, I will buy this rifle for 500 yuan a piece, and then give each gun 200 rounds of ammunition first, but the equipment should be faster." Well, how about I give you two million to expand your workshop and increase the production to 100 per day? ”

Fang Xiaoyu secretly stuck out his tongue, the royal family is rich, and the 45 million gun purchase fee is thrown out without blinking an eye, not to mention the 1.8 million yuan of bullets. It is also another two million to expand production capacity, and this time it is really earned. In fact, he also thought that this was because the emperor felt a little embarrassed to buy a gun from him at cost price, and deliberately gave him two million, saying that it was to expand production capacity, and he should give him some profits, but he didn't know that Fang Xiaoyu's net profit this time was at least 30 million.
