Chapter 181: The Banker (3rd Update)

It was only the next day that Li Zhen knew the news that Liu Jianye had passed back.

He knew that this should be Xun Shifei deliberately telling himself this secret. Peace Regiment.

"It's really yours, senior. Even I hid it. ”

Li Zhen touched it for a long time, and suddenly realized a problem in his heart. Xun Shifei has never had a heart-to-heart with him, the Taiping Regiment is such a secret organization, and he didn't know until now.

He should have had the intention of rebelling a long time ago. Because...... Xun Jiayuan is in good health, although he occasionally coughs, but he is healthy. If Xun Shifei wants to take the position, I am afraid that he will have to wait for another twenty years, and there are several twenty years in a person's life. And these two decades have been full of uncertainties.

This peace regiment should be his backhand, second-hand preparation. If you guess correctly, the predecessor of this Taiping regiment should be the princelings.

"Am I not included in the real princelings by him?"

"Alas, these revolutionary things are indeed full of endless intrigues and tricks. Playing tactical tricks, I'm really no match for anyone else. One Xun Shifei almost turned the group I was playing. ”

Li Zhen laughed with emotion. There is a look of pride in his eyes, a small tactical situation, and he will not be someone else's opponent. But in terms of strategic layout, he doesn't believe that anyone can play with himself.

The layout of the 10,000-year consortium is almost taking shape, and when the 10,000-year consortium rises, it is really terrifying.

Now that they are fighting, let them go.

A week later, Li Zhen received the news: "Wang Sandao's troops attacked Jiahe County, and Wang Jixiang, the county lord of Jiahe County, was beheaded for public display. ”

When Li Zhen saw this letter, he snapped his head and remembered that he seemed to have had a lot of holidays with this Wang Jixiang. As the days go by, I almost forget about this person.

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that Wang Sandao would behead his old enemy to show the public.

Originally, according to Li Zhen's current status, he actually didn't want to embarrass Wang Jixiang. The pattern is different, if Li Zhen cleans him up, it is not revenge, it is too much to give him face.

And after leveling Yanziji, he has actually avenged the blood sea of revenge.

It's just the reincarnation of feng shui, Wang Jixiang was finally beheaded. The letter said that Wang Sandao beheaded Wang Jixiang in Yanziji......

"Are you courting me?"

Li Zhen squinted his eyes, secretly pondering the intention behind it. Now the situation in Kyushu is quite chaotic, and it is no longer possible to look at the problem simply. Every event that happens has a lot of meaning behind it.

On this day, Li Zhen found a man named Jin Geming.

This Jin Geming is one of the internal members of the consortium, and now invests in factories throughout Dongzhou, mainly in the foundry industry, as well as the foundry industry.

Li Zhen threw a few drawings to him: "Mr. Jin." This is what you will do in the future. ”

Jin Geming glanced at the drawings, and the whole person exclaimed: "This is ...... Is this a firearm? ”

On top of the drawings, a drawing of the structure of the new rifle is drawn. Drawings of the structure of the cannon and even the construction of shells.

Li Zhen nodded: "Yes, this is a weapon used in war." ”

Jin Geming gasped: "Death." The imperial court strictly controlled the casting of gunpowder, firearms, and firearms. Once discovered, it is a dead end, and it will be beheaded. ”

Li Zhen sneered: "The current imperial court ...... Who's going to bother with him? ”

Jin Geming must be in his heart, and when he thinks about it, it's the same thing. Who cares about the orders of the imperial court now? The holy decree of the Son of Heaven can't even get out of Zhongzhou.

"But that's a bit too risky, isn't it?"

"Wealth is in danger. Xun Shifei even dares to make a revolution, don't you dare to pin your head to your belt to make money? You set up a separate subsidiary, mainly in the military foundry industry. In the future, this company will bring you huge benefits. ”

Jin Geming was silent for a while, he could think of the huge chain of interests hidden behind this. To be an arms dealer, you don't have to think about it, this is definitely a lucrative industry. But if something goes wrong, it's not easy.

Li Zhen said again: "Your role is to contain them. You can sell weapons to the Kyushu Imperial Court, or you can sell them to the Xinyuan Kingdom of Beizhou, or you can sell them to Wang Sandao. ”

"All sold?"

"Well, it's all sold. Whoever gives money sells to whomever it wants. You don't just have to sell, you have to monopolize the entire market. ”

A ruthless look flashed in Li Zhen's eyes.

Jin Geming asked curiously: "Market? How does this monopolize? ”

"The drawings I drew are not any firearms that have ever been in Kyushu. It used to be a firebolt, but now it's called a gun. In the past, the firearm hit steel grit, but this rifle hits bullets. When this gun was extended to all troops, the manufacturing process of the bullet was strictly concealed. You have completely used arms to contain the three forces, and from now on, everyone will be led by your nose. Because only you can make this weapon. ”

Jin Geming looked at the drawings carefully, and there was some recognition in his heart, worthy of Dean Li, and throwing out a drawing in his hand was earth-shattering.

This gun is similar in shape to the firecracker, but the internal structure is completely different. The interior uses a rifled structure, while the bullets are metal, separated separately. The bullet is divided into a cartridge case and a warhead, and there is gunpowder inside. When the firing pin of a firearm hits the nitrate behind the cartridge case, it will deflagrate, and then shoot.

This is much more efficient than firecrackers. The gun shoots once, and it takes half a day to fill the gunpowder. And this rifle, which can take five rounds at a time, shoots one shot, and only needs to be reloaded to continue shooting. The interval only takes one second.

From a purely commercial point of view, this is profitable.

He still hasn't departed from the businessman's mindset. In fact, without a deep understanding of himself, he is no longer a businessman, he is a capitalist!

Li Zhen said again: "Also, this arsenal must be set up in a secret place. Preferably on a small island overseas, you must have your own armed forces to defend it. Throughout Kyushu, warehouses are to be laid. Weapons are produced in factories and then shipped to warehouses across the country. Don't be too troublesome, because some people are in a hurry and will rob. ”

Jin Geming nodded: "I naturally understand this. Since this is a head-off job, I must be cautious. ”

"And, remember what I said, monopoly industries. Kyushu does not allow a second merchant who can manufacture these firearms. ”

Jin Geming looked at Li Zhen deeply: "The imperial court has a special institution like this......"

"Then make a promise of heavy profits and dig up all such talents in the imperial court. Why not? Also, they can imitate firearms, but bullets ...... Hehe, with all due respect, no one could have made a bullet without industrial support. ”

Jin Geming's eyes widened, it was too crazy, digging the people of the imperial court.

But if you think about it carefully, what Li Zhen said also makes sense. Guns are actually not difficult, but bullets are difficult.

Bullets are a thing...... Jin Geming just looked at the drawings and knew that the process was more complex than that of a gun. Of course, when it comes to organizational structure, it is not as complicated as guns, but if you want to mass produce, it is complicated.

He understood Li Zhen's intentions and controlled the production of bullets and shells. Industry is in their own hands, and from then on, no one dares to think about themselves. Because he can sell arms to his enemies at any time.

This move is far-reaching.

Jin Geming suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then looked at the three-legged stand and chaos in Kyushu, and thought of the scene after his own military factory was built.

couldn't help muttering: "Then who are they fighting for?" ”

In the three-legged tripod, behind-the-scenes dealers began to appear.
