Xiahou Ying looked stupidly at the bullet holes overflowing with sand on the sandbag wall opposite, and he was a little stunned, until Fang Xiaoyu came over to salute and he came to his senses. Xia Houying pointed to the machine gun and asked in a trembling voice: "Aiqing's gun is called a machine gun?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, what does the emperor think of the power of this gun?" ”

Xiahou won: "It's too fast, it's too fast." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Your Majesty, as long as there is such a gun among the hundred, who can stop it?" ”

Xiahou Ying hurriedly said: "I don't know what the price of your gun is?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "This gun is not easy to manufacture, and each gun may cost 5,000 yuan." ”

Xiahou Ying nodded, such a good gun of 5,000 yuan is not expensive, if you only equip one company in your own Praetorian Guard, the equipment only needs more than 700 branches, and the total is only more than 3 million. Xiahou won and said: "In this case, I will buy more than 700 branches, and give one to each company of the Praetorian Guard." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and saluted: "Such a minister must start manufacturing immediately, fighting for mattresses and equipping the Praetorian Guards." ”

Seeing that his plan succeeded, Fang Xiaoyu's face showed a hint of a smile. Now he needs the stability of the empire, so he must try to strengthen the strength of the Praetorian Guard to subdue the strength of the Xia family, the Cheng family, and even Wang Xuan, who are getting stronger and stronger.

Fang Xiaoyu knows very well that only by maintaining a peaceful environment in the country can he take the opportunity to make money on a large scale, and also buy time for the construction of the Chinese Territory, as long as his Chinese Territory can have ten years of preparation time, he can quickly become strong and surpass the strength of all domestic families in one fell swoop, even including the royal family, even if the other families have no idea about winning the country, he will have an idea.

Now Fang Xiaoyu is committed to popularizing metal fixed ammunition weapons in the empire, which can make his weapon factory make a fortune with this bullet supply alone, and can control the use of weapons by all parties.

Bullets may seem inconspicuous, but in fact, bullets are more difficult to make than guns, even in later generations can make guns in many more countries than can make their own bullets, as long as they are stuck in the supply of bullets, all parties are not in a rut, although the performance of rapid-fire weapons is good, the lack of bullets is not as useful as a broadsword. Now that the Praetorian Guards have these machine guns, the bullet money is not like splashing water to be spent, Fang Xiaoyu began to consider changing all the weapons factories in Lanting Villa into ammunition factories that supply bullets.

"Aiqing." Just as Fang Xiaoyu was secretly snickering, Xiahou Ying's words interrupted his train of thought. Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I don't know what else the Emperor Dao has ordered?" ”

Xiahou won and said: "How do you plan to deal with the dispute between the Chinese Territory and the Cossack Empire?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu pretended to be stupid and said: "If they don't send envoys to talk with him next spring, I plan to continue to attack the city and plunder the land." ”

Xiahou won and said, "If you continue to attack, I don't know if the Imperial Army can help?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu laughed when he heard this, feeling that the emperor was a little jealous that he occupied so much land. Fang Xiaoyu said: "If there is the assistance of the Imperial Army, Fang Xiaoyu is naturally grateful, but the roads there are difficult to travel, and there is not much military power. ”

Xiahou Ying nodded and said, "In that case, I will send the 15th Army and the 29th Army over." ”

Xiahou won for fear that he would not be able to reap the benefits, so he let the troops controlled by the Fang family pass, hoping that Fang Xiaoyu would look at the face of the Fang family's troops and let the empire take some advantage, after all, for any emperor, expanding the territory is the biggest temptation.

"The regular army of the empire participates in the war, and Weichen will definitely try his best to cooperate." Before Fang Xiaoyu returned to the capital, he learned through the Intelligence Bureau that the Cossack Empire had sent an envoy, so he simply sold the emperor an empty favor, first giving the emperor a good impression of being loyal to the country and not caring about personal gains and losses.

Xiahou Ying was also very happy to see that Fang Xiaoyu was still so loyal, and secretly complained in his heart that Cheng Yuhuan provoked himself to deal with the Chinese leader like that, which was simply instigating himself to suppress his loyal ministers.

made a lot of money in the palace, and Fang Xiaoyu walked out of the palace happily humming a song. This machine gun is a small amount of money, and the money for bullets will not be less, and as for the railway, it is even more big business.

The railway construction in the Eastern Continent is only known to oneself, and when the time comes, I will not quote whatever price I want, and this profit is definitely not small. What's more, he had already raised the price several times in the emperor just now, so the emperor had a mental preparation.

In fact, a discerning person can understand at a glance that if this railway is really like Fang Xiaoyu said, a kilometer costs tens of thousands of yuan, then how much does it cost to build railways everywhere, but fortunately, few people in the entire capital know how many railways there are in Zhonghua Ling, and no one knows how much money Fang Xiaoyu, who is known for making money quickly, has.

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, Fang Xiaoyu found Wang Ling standing outside the palace gate, as if waiting for someone. Fang Xiaoyu immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Is Miss Wang waiting for someone here?" ”

Wang Ling turned around and saw that it was Fang Xiaoyu, and a smile appeared on her face: "You finally came out, I was waiting for you." ”

Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "Wait for me? What's the matter? ”

Wang Ling said in a slightly resentful tone: "Can't I find you if I don't have something?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Of course not. Fang Xiaoyu looked at Wang Ling, whose face was slightly red, in surprise, and secretly said how this girl looked like she was coquettish, thinking of this, he couldn't help but peek at Elena not far away, only to see Elena looking at him with a smile.

Wang Ling also felt that her mood was a little abnormal today, and she unconsciously spoke to Fang Xiaoyu in that tone. While hiding the inexplicable panic in her heart, Wang Ling said again: "My father wants to invite you to dinner, but I don't know if you will go." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Since it was invited by Lord God of War, I naturally want to go." ”

Wang Ling nodded and said, "In that case, we'll see you in the evening." ”

Wang Ling turned around and said, "Also, don't call me Miss Wang in the future, it's weird, just call me Ling'er." With that, she rode away. Fang Xiaoyu was stunned on the spot, I don't know how Wang Ling, who was so prejudiced against herself a few years ago, why she didn't see her so well for a few years.

Elena walked over and smiled, "It looks like our sisters' team is going to increase again." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "No, she is the daughter of the dignified imperial god of war, and I have only seen him twice." ”

Elena said, "Haven't you heard that beautiful women love heroes? I've heard that this Miss Wang Ling once said that she would marry a hero who is stronger than his father. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "How do you know the Dao?" ”

Elena said, "Sister Xia told me. ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Sister Xia? Are you already so familiar with Tingwei? ”

Elena gave him a blank look and said, "What's your business?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at Elena, who had stopped paying attention to him, and sighed secretly, this woman's mind was really strange and confusing, but the playful and cute appearance when she rolled her eyes still made Fang Xiaoyu's heart beat faster.

Naturally, you can't go empty-handed to the lord's house as a guest, Fang Xiaoyu ordered someone to prepare a generous gift, and then took a carriage to Wang Xuan's mansion in the capital. Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's name, the family at the door immediately let Fang Xiaoyu in.

After receiving the return from the family, Wang Xuan's father and daughter greeted him from the living room. Wang Xuan stepped forward with a smile and said, "Xiaoyu, just returned to the capital, I'm afraid I was brought here before I met Old Man Xia." ”

Fang Xiaoyu immediately saluted and said: "The little nephew just arrived last night, and today he was summoned by His Majesty, he was supposed to come to see his uncle first, but he didn't expect that before he could come over to greet his uncle, his sister came to invite." ”

Wang Xuan said with a smile: "It is also a blessing for me to be able to go back to the capital, if you didn't do such a big thing this year, the emperor wants to inquire, how can I come to the capital." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I am also responsible for defending the territory, so I had to fight and defeat the Cossack Empire by luck." ”

Wang Ling interjected with a smile: "Is it a fluke? Luck on both land and sea? ”

Wang Xuan also nodded and said: "Yes, the virtuous nephew is too polite, this Cossack Empire is extremely powerful, but it is not a fluke that can be won, this Xia Yuyan is the most touched." Only then did Fang Xiaoyu remember that Xia Yuyan's territory also bordered the Cossack Empire.

Wang Xuan sighed and said: "You don't know what to do, this time the empire remains neutral, only Xia Yuyan sent troops to garrison on the border of the Cossack Empire, and confronted the Cossack army for a long time, if you don't win, it is estimated that he will also send troops." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The third uncle is really good to me, I will thank him well another day." ”

Wang Ling said on the side: "Father, Brother Fang has been here for a long time, let him enter the house." ”

Wang Xuan said suddenly: "You can see that I patronized and talked, and I forgot to invite my nephew into the house." ”

Wang Xuan's father and daughter let Fang Xiaoyu into the house, and sat down as the guest and host, Wang Xuan continued the topic just now: "Actually, you don't have to thank him specifically, you have cooperated with him to grow cotton over the years, and he has made a lot of money." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "This has always been run by his subordinates, and I really don't know how many there are." ”

Wang Xuan filtered his beard and said, "I heard that Xia Yuyan can make a net profit of 20 million on cotton alone this year." It turned out that he was notoriously poor among the lords, but now he is indeed notoriously rich, and it is said that his 60,000 troops cost 7 million a year for military expenses alone, which is really wealthy.

Fang Xiaoyu heard the envy in Wang Xuan's tone, and said with a smile: "Isn't my uncle's horse production also notoriously rich, I have to import tens of thousands of good horses from my uncle every year, and this war is also thanks to their help." ”

Wang Xuan sighed and said: "Although my horse raising business has an annual income of more than 10 million yuan, the land in Tubo County is barren, and it is not easy to grow grain. Speaking of which, this year, thanks to the good nephew's big grain sales, the price of grain has dropped a lot, and I have saved a lot of money. ”
