Just when the merchants were confused, that guy finally solved the mystery!" It's a flowering bomb! ”

The flowering bomb happened to be the first to be developed in Daming in the early years of Jiajing, but due to the high requirements of the process, it can only be manufactured very sporadically.

And now, the hollow welded ball in front of me is the flowering bomb.

Obviously, the flowering bullet was more powerful than the solid bullet of this era, and after the flowering projectile was ejected, the gunpowder filled with the hollow ball would explode by guò impact, which was basically the prototype of the shell of later generations. It's just that it's more coarse and unstable than the shells of later generations.

The man gave a detailed introduction to the power of this cannonball, and the few Francophone merchants immediately became interested and asked about the price, the price of a flowering shell is also very expensive, and it takes one or two or four dollars of silver, and the so-called cannon sounds, ten thousand taels of gold, and it is worthy of its name.

And if you want to purchase such a flowering shell, you also need to be specially equipped with a specially matched caliber artillery, the price of the artillery is quite fair, although the guy showed them only a model, but the level of craftsmanship of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau is obviously not worse than the artillery made by the Francophone people now, which is of course due to a large number of Francose craftsmen were recruited by the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau.

At this moment, no one could help but be unmoved, and the sea route appeasement envoy was obviously selling at a reduced price, and this price was very reasonable.

In this way, a Francophone merchant made a request to try the power of the flowering bomb, which was not excessive, and the man quickly nodded his head, indicating that he was willing to test it tomorrow.

This Francois merchant Jia said that if it was full of power, he was willing to order 30 artillery pieces and 1,000 shells. Obviously, this guy has already been tempted, if the power of the flowering bullet can be twice that of ordinary solid bullets, and the price of the Daming artillery is also moderate, they don't mind ordering some, and go back to Europe to try to sell it first.

If you want to come to each kingdom, you will definitely be interested, after all, there are constant wars in the kingdoms of Franco, and if there are powerful weapons, they will naturally be supplied first.

As long as someone starts, how can others let this businessman get his wish, everyone is full of interest and has expressed their willingness to order.

Some people began to think about the firecrackers hanging on the wall, especially the firecrackers that imitated the Francophone machine were the most eye-catching, and when they asked about the price, they learned that the price was even lower, almost selling at a loss, and each firearm was only three taels of silver, so many people began to make up their minds.

Now the countries of Europa are competing for hegemony, especially the conflict between Portugal and Spain is the most intense, both sides are frantically expanding their armaments in order to seize the colonies, and the war is about money, in this context - obviously the weapons of the Ming Dynasty are of high quality and cheap, if Portugal buys weapons and equipment from the Ming Dynasty, and Spain is self-made weapons, then Portugal can use less treasury income to fight against the same expensive Spanish legion, and ・ More adult men can be from the blacksmith, Iron-making and other activities are liberated, which is obviously a huge advantage.

Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of hegemony and minimize the loss, it is obviously a very beneficial measure to buy a large fire gun, and it must be known that the manufacturing price of the same fire gun in Europa is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also will never be less than three or two dollars.

The Francoji noble# Yu Da was silent for a moment, and then opened a large order of 10,000 firearms, 10,000 firearms, enough to assemble a regiment, almost forming an overwhelming advantage over Portugal.

The Portuguese businessmen present also felt the pressure, many of them were related to the Portuguese royal family and nobles, if the Spaniards wanted to build a new type of army, then Portugal must strengthen its strength in accordance with the principle of reciprocity, and the Portuguese businessmen did not hesitate to order 8,000 firearms.

Those Japanese merchants have also ordered some of them, but most of the Japanese people now use bird guns, and they don't have an intuitive understanding of the power of fire guns, so they just order some and go back to try it.

There are also a lot of orders for weapons on this side, and on the other side, there are many merchants surrounding the ship models.

Although the workmanship of these ship models is not exquisite, it is easy to see the style at a glance, how many sails they have, how much the maximum speed is under the full wind, what kind of wood is used, what function they have, whether they are equipped with weapons cabins, how many cargo holds they have, and how many goods they can pull when they are fully loaded.

These ship models, including the Damingfu ship with a huge load capacity, as well as the imitation Europa ship, can provide a lot of powerful vitality, which can be described as all-encompassing.

Nowadays, due to the purge of pirates, and now it seems that the trade of the Ming Dynasty has opened a hole, therefore, there is an urgent need for a large number of sea ships to trade in the future, especially for the big cannibals, the demand for sea ships is great, after all, the big cannibals on the one hand, in Egypt and the emerging Francois Empire The conflict began to intensify, and their sailors urgently needed warships that could balance the Francos, on the other hand, the sea! Trade and economics broke the monopoly of land routes, and the big cannibals are not long in the manufacture of sea ships at the moment, but now the Ming is willing to peddle all kinds of ships, and some people even hinted that if they order warships, there are also artillery gifts, the big food merchants almost did not hesitate, they placed orders for dozens of big ships, and said that this is just an attempt, if the ships delivered are good, they don't mind, continue to chase

Other merchants also ordered some more, but compared to the big cannibals' wealth, they were obviously much worse.

In the whole warehouse, there are a total of 179 pieces of goods, as large as ships, as small as rattles and horseshoes, all have people ordered, small businessmen originally thought that this time to return empty-handed, now only to find out that the goods of the Ming Dynasty are not just silk, porcelain, but also gradually feel worthwhile, since you can not return empty, then naturally, how much to order some of their own goods that can sell well, if these goods sell well in the future, then it is inevitable to come to this Shuangyu Port, continue to buy frantically.

A small room was opened up in the warehouse, and orders were sent here, Xu Qian sat here drinking tea, while Wang Zhi was smiling and sorting out all kinds of orders.

"My lord, in total, the order received now has reached more than five million taels of silver, and if it continues to be placed for a few more days, I am afraid it will exceed ten million taels of silver."

"Not bad." Xu Qian smiled slightly and said, "Once these orders return to Tianjin and Zhejiang, they will definitely be a sensation." ”

Wang Zhi frowned, his eyes fell on the orders for artillery and firearms, and he couldn't help asking: "My lord, will there be something wrong with peddling weapons, although the imperial court did not explicitly prohibit the trade of weapons with the feudal states, in the past, there were also weapons from various feudal domains, and there was also a weapon in the list of rewards from the imperial court, but the weapons were not enough, firearms...... Is it inappropriate to trade with them, or even to appease them by sea to lower the price of firearms? ”

Xu Qian smiled and said lightly: "On the side of the imperial court, there will be no problems for the time being, even if there is an imperial envoy to impeach, the official will naturally persuade the emperor, the emperor's side, there is no need to worry for the time being." ”

"As for the sale of these firearms for subsidized money, I only ask you, what do you think of Europa's firearms?"

As a pirate, Wang Zhi naturally saw the power of the Franc machine firearms, and said: "I don't know about it on land, but the sea is extremely powerful, and a Franc machine ship equipped with a large number of firearms can almost be used as ten." ”

Xu Qian nodded: "Yes, the firearms of the Franc machine are very sharp, of course, the firearms are sharp only because their craftsmen are skilled, the sharp weapons of the country, should not be applied to others, our Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau has now been established, due to the improvement of the process in recent years, the manufacture of firearms, has been comparable to the Francois man, but this is not enough, what we want to do is to eliminate the firearms manufacturing of the Franco, only in this way, not only can we be strong and powerful, but also can be a large-scale trade in firearms to make a lot of profits." ”

"Do you know what dumping is? Dumping is to take out cheaper goods, such as firearms, my Daming firearms are not under the Francois people, but the sea route pacification envoy to subsidize, so that the price of our firearms is even lower, in this way, the Francois people will inevitably rush to buy, once rushed, their own firearms workshops will be difficult to maintain, and in the end there is only one way to go bankrupt, the workshop is bankrupt, what should those craftsmen do? They are nothing more than two roads, one is to come thousands of miles to my Daming to find food, and the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau can offer favorable conditions, and the other way is to choose another industry. If you think about it, these craftsmen have either left for a long time, or they have become carpenters, soldiers, and sailors, and their skills are naturally unfamiliar. On the contrary, because my Ming firearms sell well, attracting a large number of people to enter the manufacture of firearms, and at the same time constantly improving firearms, ten or twenty years later, in this world, will there still be Francophone firearms? Xu Qian picked up the teacup, blew a sip of tea foam, and said slowly: "There will be no more, in the future, the firearms of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau will be the only one with no other branch, and at that time, the price of firearms can be increased several times, even if they want to make their own products, but it is too late, even if they can recruit some craftsmen, it is difficult to manufacture on a large scale, even if they can manufacture on a large scale, but the level of craftsmanship can no longer be the same as that of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, and in the end, they still have to take a large amount of silver to buy Daming firearms." This is dumping, it seems, now we are suffering, but people should look forward and not be afraid of losses. ”

The first chapter is delivered, asking for a monthly pass.
