Chapter 459: Astronomical
As soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Deng Jian came in, his eyes fell directly on Deng Jian.
He tried to be calm, but at this time, it was not good to ask Deng Jian about it first.
Therefore, he put on a breezy appearance and said: "Zhang Qing came just ......."
The Emperor of the Apocalypse paused: "Now that the Martial Arts Hall and the Divine Machine Battalion are for me, please give them firearms, and they still need the sophisticated firearms from your military academy...... What do you think about the desire to buy from you? ”
Zhang Jingyi immediately said: "Okay, okay, I don't know how much Your Majesty wants?" ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse never expected that Zhang Jingyi would actually agree.
After all, people are selfish, and the unique secret of this military academy is not this firearm?
If even this was sold to the Lecture Hall and the Shenji Battalion, wouldn't this military academy be unknown to everyone?
The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help sighing in his heart, this Zhang Qing is really selfless, and he is a loser to the martial arts hall and the hundreds of officials, who are raising themselves in a weird way every day, but belittling the Donglin Military Academy.
Compared to people, there is really more difference between people and dogs.
Several cabinet ministers originally thought that Zhang Jingyi would find a reason to prevaricate in the past, but who would have thought that Zhang Jingyi would agree at once.
At this time, they were all impressed by Zhang Jing.
How did they know that when Zhang Jing heard that someone wanted to come to purchase arms, she was already happy in her heart, but she didn't expect that she would also become an arms dealer one day.
This is a great thing, their own workshop has orders, can recruit more skilled craftsmen, craftsmen have better income, it is even more riveting, continue to work.
The workshop is to make money, and it cannot be reduced to a vassal of the military academy forever, and only by opening the door to do business can a military industrial system be established.
So Zhang Jingyi said, "How much does Your Majesty want?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Jingyi was so enthusiastic, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was even more annoyed by Huang Liji and the others, take a look...... Look at what Zhang Qing looks like, and then look at you guys......
Mo said that it was the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it was these ministers, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
They are cabinet ministers, and they can see many things more clearly, the martial arts hall was built, and I don't know how many scholars show off their martial arts, but Zhang Jingyi is so generous.
This Zhang Jingyi, which is completely different from the image rumored outside, acts ruthlessly, but is dedicated to the public, but it is not comparable to some people.
So Huang Liji reported a number.
Zhang Jingyi said: "The price of the gun is one hundred taels, if it is eight thousand, it is eight hundred thousand taels of silver, if it is artillery, it is one thousand five hundred taels of silver, and if it is fifty guns, the price is cheap, only one hundred thousand taels, as for gunpowder...... My gunpowder has a special formula, and one pound is not expensive, ten taels of silver is enough, if it is supplied with 10,000 catties per month, it is 100,000 taels of silver per month. ”
"But...... I don't think these alone are enough, this artillery must have special shells, and the gun also needs special projectiles, this bullet looks like just an iron lump, but if it is not polished carefully enough, there may be a danger of jamming and exploding. Why don't you even supply guns and ammunition from me, and the guns are cheap, a hundred dollars, and the cannonballs are expensive, and they cost five taels of silver, what do you think? ”
When Zhang Jing quoted this price, she looked calm, but she was actually a little weak in her heart.
Sure enough, as soon as the cannon sounded, there were 10,000 taels of gold, so calculated, the purchase of guns alone would cost a million taels of silver, and a steady stream of ammunition would be purchased every year.
Therefore, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but want to blurt out...... Or can you get a discount?
After all, you can't be too ruthless in wool.
But who knows, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Huang Liji and others all looked at each other.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse subconsciously said, "So cheap? ”
"Ah......h
Huang Liji was also overjoyed and said, "At this price, Duke Liao, don't regret it." ”
Zhang Jingyi: "......"
Huang Liji, Sun Chengzong, Li Guo, Fang, and Liu Hongxun were all happy, as if they had suddenly unloaded a thousand catties of burden.
Liu Hongxun couldn't help but be moved by Zhang Jingyi's noble sentiments even at this time, and cocked his thumb and said: "The Duke of Liao Guo is really a high wind and bright festival, not only dedicated to the public, but also willing to make profits, and the fire gun that can only be made by making a bureau of one hundred and thirty or fifty taels of silver, your fire gun is even more sophisticated, but I didn't expect that it only sold a hundred taels of silver." The old man had a lot of prejudices against the Duke of Liao before, but today he saw the Duke of Liao's righteousness and squandering money, and the country has such a cadre as the Duke of Liao, fortunately, fortunately! ”
Zhang Jing's whole body was numb.
I really want to say that how much did the group of dogs in the Bureau of Creation embezzle?
The cost of this musket will definitely not exceed fifteen taels of silver, this is still the cost of Zhang Jingyi's meticulous workmanship, just this, selling a hundred taels of silver, he still feels sorry, but he didn't expect that the bureau was even more ruthless.
How do these guys settle their accounts?
Knowing this, he directly doubled the offer.
Earn over!
It seems that I, Zhang Jingyi, am indeed not suitable for arms trading, and my heart is too kind.
It's no wonder why when I copied the arsenal of the Shenshu camp, I found a large number of firecrackers in it, which can even be traced back to the Yongle period, that is, two hundred years ago, the firecrackers have long been rusty, and the rust will fall down when I touch it, and the new firecrackers may not even have a hundred, and the court can't afford to make them at all.
But when he said something, he couldn't take it back, and Zhang Jingyi could only maintain his character as a good person at this time, and said with a smile: "It is the honor of the Zhang family to make guns for the imperial court, and silver is a trivial matter, mainly for the country." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse still felt a little distressed and couldn't help but sigh a little when he took out so much silver at once, but seeing that Zhang Jingyi was willing to sell arms cheaply for the sake of the Shenji Battalion, what else could he do as the Son of Heaven?
So he had no choice but to say: "Very good, then hurry up and make the required ordnance, how long will it take to arrive?" ”
Zhang Jing said: "The minister has already reserved some, which was originally used for replacement, if the Shenji Battalion is in a hurry, you can first move the guns and cannons in the arsenal of the military academy, and then order someone to supervise the construction." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "That's very good. ”
As he spoke, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Deng Jian and said, "Deng Qing's family, are you back?" ”
He asked lightly.
Deng Jian stepped forward: "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ”
"How's the errand?"
Deng Jian said: "These days, the minister has done his best, running around, day and night, and finally ...... The thing was done, speaking of which, the matter was complicated, the minister was overwhelmed, every time it was difficult, he thought of His Majesty's kindness in his heart, so he was full of spirit, so the minister did not dare to say that this errand was done well, it can only be said that under the grace of His Majesty, there was a little bit of eyebrows, the minister was born dull, His Majesty not only did not dislike, but entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and now he ......"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse listened to a bunch of words, and couldn't wait for the point, so he scolded impatiently: "Don't talk about this, how many houses have been copied, and how much silver has been converted?" ”
Seeing the apocalypse emperor furious.
Deng Jian was startled, and immediately said: "I have copied everything that should be copied, and I will fold it into silver...... Folded silver ......"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse held the imperial case with both hands, and his heart jumped to his throat.
I only heard Deng Jian say: "Get 145 million taels of silver......"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse began to breathe heavily.
Zhang Jingyi had already begun to open his mouth wide on the side.
To be honest, this amount is really scary! At least in the Ming Dynasty, it was rare to hear such a number. Only in the last years of the Qing Dynasty did the indemnity signed between the Qing government and the foreign powers cost hundreds of millions of billions of taels of silver.
And the income of the Ming Dynasty, 10 million taels is a huge number, you know, in order to maintain Liaodong, the imperial court takes out millions of taels of silver every year, and needs to do everything possible to levy Liao, and ask for borrowing everywhere, just this, you have to owe the border army money.
Good guys, it's actually hundreds of millions.
Huang Liji was also dumbfounded, stunned on the spot.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was even more like a lightning strike.
It was also thanks to his rich experience in this area, so he held the imperial case with both hands in advance, but even so, at the moment when Deng Jian reported the number, his hands still couldn't help but start trembling, and then the imperial case began to vibrate.
"Fourteen million taels what?"
Deng Jian said: "Your Majesty, silver, it's silver...... It's not copper coins. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse's face was originally flushed, and then it began to turn red and purple.
In his mind, countless images had already passed.
It's all all kinds of weird things, and those things are all golden anyway.
As if he didn't feel real enough, he reconfirmed, "You say it louder." ”
So Deng Jian said again: "Your Majesty, it's 145 million taels of silver...... That's the approximate amount, and there are some balances that haven't been settled......"
"......Huh" The Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that his heart was like a hammer, and he jumped suddenly, and it took a long time for him to react from this shock, and he shouted: "You are scared to death......
With that, his body suddenly tilted, poofed, and fell from the dragon chair.
Zhang Jingyi and the others' pupils contracted, and seeing all this happening, their faces were as frightened as earth.
Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian, who was on the side, had quick eyes and quick hands, caught the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and howled in horror: "Quick, call the imperial doctor." ”
"You don't have to call it...... Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily, "It's useless to call those quacks, I ...... I just can't bear it for a while, I need to slow down......"
Then the Emperor of the Apocalypse instructed: "Deng Jian frightened me, the sin deserved death, and ordered him to read those words to me in the palace a hundred times, and teach him to shout them out loud." After seeing him, do you dare to scare me like this! ”
Wei Zhongxian was worried, and after listening to these words, he confirmed that the Emperor of the Apocalypse should not have much of a problem, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." ”
