"The day before yesterday, Taixi went to Nanjing, and I heard that the nephew of the Liu family who was not a weapon was also developing a self-fire gun, but it was far less far-sighted than the Hu Dong family."
Liu followed the wind's words lightly, and Hu Guanghou looked up at the mysterious Liu Shilang.
Liu Shilang's vision is as deep as the sea.
"Really?" Zhai Zhe was very pleased. He didn't know the secrets behind these self-bird guns, but he was very happy to see that the Jin King's Mansion was full of such pioneering people.
These are far more important than the victory of a war.
Just like those two Hai Dongqing, only the hungry Hai Dongqing is the most ferocious Hai Dongqing.
"Really?" Hu Guanghou bit his lip and repeated King Jin's words.
Liu Shilang was laughing, smiling like a spring breeze, without the slightest threat or aggression.
No one answered these two questions, and King Jin interrupted the embarrassment between the two.
"It's you, not those impatient scholars, who are the Great Ming Pillar Stone" Zhai Zhe's words were loud
Liu Suifeng's heart moved slightly, it turned out that King Jin also knew those sayings outside.
Hu Guanghou retracted his thoughts, bowed down and said: "King Jin is generous, this is the best time for Ming merchants"
"The imperial court is raising business taxes" Zhai Zhe waved his hand and said impatiently: "Today's great joy, don't talk about these troublesome things" Some people have healed their scars and forgot the pain, and not long after the Qing prisoners returned to Jiangbei, the squires around the country began to be bold again. He wants to make these people have a better memory when they are at their happiest time.
Zhai Zhe stretched out his hand and took the bird gun from the nearest guard, took a closer look, and asked, "How much can you produce in a month as soon as possible?" ”
Hu Guanghou groaned for a moment and said, "Although these autogenous bird guns can be used, they are still defective. If the prince gives me two more months, I can guarantee that it will be perfect. ”
"Very good," Zhai Zhe approved. He likes this kind of person who has a tendency to perfectionism, and will not be blinded by the little petty profit in front of him. He asked Liu Suifeng sideways: "Is the Liu family also developing self-fire guns?" ”
"I just heard Tae-hee say that it's just the beginning, and it's far less mature than Hu Dong's family."
Hu Guanghou heard Liu Suifeng's words and turned his head. A dimes of his glory were stolen by thieves.
Zhai Zhe stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Perhaps, you can learn from each other, the stones of other mountains can attack jade."
"Yes"
Zhai Zhe noticed that Hu Guanghou was a little strange, and felt the need to remind him, saying: "Good things must know how to share, the demand for firearms in the army is increasing day by day, and the three of you have worked hard to produce it, but it can't meet my needs." ”
"The villain understands" Hu Guanghou was relieved.
At this moment, he had already figured out that Liu Suifeng's appearance here today was no accident, and the oil and water in the self-fire gun was too big, and it was not for the Hu family to swallow it alone.
The development of weapons and the relationship between production are important, and neither the imperial court nor the general will let one dominate. Now there are only three workshops, and after the Ming Dynasty recovers the Northland, there may be other people who will join in.
"Very good" Zhai Zhe pointed to those bird guns and instructed: "These things, you take them back, don't leak the news"
"Yes"
Twenty guards hurriedly put the bird into the wooden box.
Zhai Zhe said: "This matter is very important, I will send people to Fuyang to supervise the preparation of weapons."
Hu Guanghou's heart sank. King Jin's move is probably not only for the sake of self-fire.
The preparation of weapons has always been a national taboo, before the king of Jin, the preparation of weapons has always been in the hands of the Ming War Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau, so the quality of perennial armor is low.
Armor can't protect the body, and guns can't kill the enemy.
After the Jin Dynasty delegated power, although it was not explicitly announced, it actually removed the craftsman from the craftsman's status, and in the short term, the production of firearms in Jiangnan reached its peak.
However, the preparation of military weapons by merchants has the hidden danger of the outflow of weapons. It is expected that the Jin Wangfu sent people to supervise. I just don't know what the authority of this regulator is, and whether it will be operated in a war.
"That's exactly how it should be," Liu Suifeng agreed.
"After you go back, you will make an appointment with the Zhu family and the head of the Liu family, and your Hu family will lead the research of the self-fire gun, brainstorm, take out a mature sample within two months, and then process and produce, and strive to prepare at least 10,000 such bird guns before the end of the year."
"Obey orders" Hu Guanghou was overjoyed. Although he could not monopolize his benefits, the king of Jin let the Hu family take the lead and had already recognized his achievements. The Hu family can use this to suppress the Liu family and the Zhu family.
Before you know it, the sun is already overhead to the west.
From Hu Guanghou's visit to the completion of the test, it took two hours. Zhai Zhe was quite interested, and no one around dared to disturb him.
It was only at this moment that Zhai Zhe felt hunger in his belly. He greeted Liu Suifeng and Hu Guanghou, and said, "It's noon, and Hu Dong's family will stay in the house for dinner."
Liu fell second with the wind, and Hu Guanghou was overjoyed. The throne of Jin is high and powerful, and he is a merchant, what an honor it is to be able to have dinner with him.
King Jin dined very quickly, and Hu Guanghou met King Jin's second son during the banquet. It was a mischievous child, and when he ate, he circled around his father. This eliminated the solemnity and tension in the banquet, and Hu Guanghou ate very easily and full.
He thought in his heart: "The outside world says that King Jin is a very kind person, and it is true."
Before then, Hu Guanghou said goodbye and left, rested in Nanjing for one night, and returned to Hangzhou the next day.
The cooperation of several weapons workshops in Fuyang still needs to wait for the King of Jin to send someone to preside.
Liu Suifeng was left behind by Zhai Zhe.
In the study.
Zhai Zhe asked: "What is going on with the Liu family's self-fire gun?"
There are no coincidences in the world, and people like Liu Suifeng can't treat everything they do as coincidences.
Liu Suifeng's face was as usual, and Yu smiled: "I just heard what Yoo Tae-hee said yesterday, and I don't know the truth."
"Really?" Zhai Zhe seemed to be smiling.
"Weapons are the most important weapons of the country, and I have lifted the shackles tied to craftsmen in order to get a sharp weapon that can subdue the four yi. Luckily, I saw the self-fire today. If Hu Guanghou worked hard and couldn't get benefits from it, who else would do such a thing? ”
Liu Suifeng's face was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to confess, he understood that he had made a mistake.
He knew King Jin, but he shouldn't have taken advantage of King Jin's mind.
It is impossible for the Hu family to produce the self-fire gun alone, but this decision must be made by Zhai Zhe without the hint of others. The person in the upper position is most taboo for others to speculate on his mind.
"You're just a servant"
Zhai Zhe had never spoken to Liu Suifeng in such a stern tone.
The willow is soaked with the wind.
Zhai Zhe was annoyed in his heart, "Why do you have to make me stern and impersonal, so that you can know how to advance and retreat" The self-fire gun was just an introduction, and the rumors from all over Jiangnan made him very disappointed, and he was so disappointed that he gradually lost his patience.
If violence and gore can solve the problem, he will have to quickly control his hands.
"I know it's wrong," Liu lowered his head with the wind and admitted his mistake. Because he knows King Jin.
Longwu for three years.
The war between the north and the south is in a stalemate, and the resettled Jiangnan is at the intersection of the old and new forces.
The emerging merchant group grew with the support of the Jin kings and generals. In the Ming Dynasty, the merchants were still very weak, and they could only rely on the King of Jin to get a little say in the court.
They are the least reliable people, because they can sell anything as long as there is interest.
They are also the most reliable people, because as long as they are driven by profit, they will follow one after another and move forward bravely.
