Chapter 311: Lu Xiangsheng wants to buy arms
Emperor Chongzhen is a poor person, but also a hateful person, the level is not good, but he likes to command blindly, Daming was originally according to his own rate of decay, and he could still hold on for decades, but after the unremitting efforts of Emperor Chongzhen, it was over after he succeeded to the throne for 17 years.
Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been in various commotions, listened to the Donglin Party, killed Wei Zhongxian, abolished Dongchang, belittled Jinyiwei, and thought that he was a pro-virtuous minister and a villain, but he was deceived by the scholars and doctors of the Donglin Party and became a fool, and the commercial tax was not collected, the treasury was instantly empty, and God was not used to him.
After waiting for a while, I suddenly found that the eunuch thing seemed to be a good means to balance the minister, so I quietly used the eunuch, but these eunuchs are not worry-free goods, and the ministers have been perverted over the years, and this power makes me feel that I am Wei Zhongxian's second, so don't say anything about the big brother, let's make money first.
So the whole bottom became a miasma again, and some ministers who really wanted to do things were also targeted, such as the famous Lu Xiangsheng, who was targeted by the eunuch Gao Qiqian.
The people thought that the conditions of the army were poor, so they went to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province to enjoy the blessings, but the people left, but the rights were not put down, and the eunuchs of the supervising army not only supervised the rights, but also mastered the right to buy guns and gunpowder for the army.
And this right is still given by Chongzhen, Chongzhen was scared by these ministers, and felt that if his small money was given directly to the minister, the minister would definitely be greedy for ink, so it was more reassuring to give his dog legs, so the eunuch was in charge of the purchasing power.
And with the right to purchase, Gao Qiqian began to target Lu Xiangsheng, and the reason why he targeted Lu Xiangsheng was because Lu Xiangsheng belonged to the Maokeng stone, which was stinky and hard, not only did not respect himself, but also shook his face with himself, and I Gao Qiqian had never suffered this grievance in my life.
So Gao Qiqian targeted Lu Xiangsheng, and the method was very simple, didn't he control the right to buy? Then let's deduct your gunpowder cannons, and we will pick up the money saved, of course, we can't take it all, give one point to the upstream and downstream, and leave one for Your Majesty by the way, but Your Majesty's share is calculated according to the small appropriation.
You Lu Xiangsheng can't do it after suffering a loss, he was impeached, but what about it, the excerpt of Gao Qiqian was sent to His Majesty's hands faster, Chongzhen took a look at the content: Your Majesty, after the slave took charge of the right to purchase gunpowder for the Tianxiong Army, he found that the gunpowder of the Tianxiong Army was wasted, this is the master's money, how can they let them spoil it, so the slave and maid made their own decisions and saved 10,000 taels of silver for Your Majesty......
Chongzhen took a look, a good slave, a good slave, she would live, and she really didn't choose the wrong person.
The next day, the upstream and downstream of Gao Qiqian began to exert force, for example, Yang Sichang will report to the army to eat empty salaries and other things, Chongzhen was very angry, and in a pile of folds mixed with Lu Xiangsheng's folds, at this time Chongzhen looked at it, what Gao Qiqian seized gunpowder, so that the front line gunpowder was insufficient, please Your Majesty dismissed this bureaucracy, and allocated some more money.
Chongzhen was immediately furious: a raccoon dog on a hill, a raccoon dog on a hill, not allowed, not allowed, and issued an edict to reprimand Lu Xiangsheng.
In this way, Lu Xiangsheng's performance was not only not approved, but on the contrary, he was reprimanded repeatedly, he didn't eat meat, and he caused a commotion.
And in the future, Lu Xiangsheng can't go on a similar twist and turn, and Shang Chongzhen won't believe it.
Gao Qiqian justifiably became Lu Xiangsheng's uncle, and the gunpowder just won't give you, what can you do?
This is the political environment of the Ming Dynasty, loyal ministers can't fight villains, those who want to do things will be attacked by those who don't want to do things, the emperor thinks he is a witty group, in fact, he is a fool who has been played badly.
In such a political environment, no matter how huge the Ming Dynasty is, no matter how deep the heritage is, can it withstand several such tosses, what are you waiting for if you don't lose the country?
Li Chaosheng saw that Lu Xiangsheng's strong appearance was full of holes, there was no way, with such a majesty, whose heart was not full of holes?
And the main reason why loyal ministers are admired by future generations is that the emperor has abused me thousands of times, and I treat the emperor like my first love, which is the reason why loyal ministers are praised by everyone, sad and crying.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Xiangsheng was uncomfortable when Li Chaosheng looked at him, and asked with a frown.
"With such a majesty on the Lu Gong stall, are you tired?"
Li Chaosheng looked at Lu Xiangsheng seriously, Lu Xiangsheng was stunned and silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
"Ahem......"
Just when the atmosphere was very embarrassing, Lu Xianglin suddenly coughed twice, and the two looked at Lu Xianglin, Lu Xianglin covered his mouth at this time and calmed his cough and said: "Li Xianzun, in fact, in addition to the war report, I also have one thing to ask the county respect, I don't know if the county respecter can agree." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Li Chaosheng looked at Lu Xianglin and asked, Lu Xianglin heard this and said: "Li Xianzun, after yesterday's battle, we have seen that your army's firearms are powerful, I don't know if we can buy some firearms from your army and arm our Tianxiong army?" ”
"Buy firearms."
Li Chaosheng glanced at Lu Xianglin when he heard this, Lu Xianglin looked at Li Chaosheng with a smile, there was still expectation in his eyes, and Lu Xiangsheng on the side couldn't help but sit up straight, his eyes were also full of expectation and uneasiness.
Li Chaosheng was silent at this time,
After a while, he said, "It's not impossible, but what do you want to buy?" ”
Lu Xianglin said: "Firecrackers, artillery, yes, yes, and the kind of weapon that you threw out at the end of the wooden handle that can explode." ”
"Grenades."
Li Chaosheng asked, hearing this, Lu Xianglin said; "Yes, yes, grenades."
Hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "Yes, I can sell it to you." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xianglin's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "What a purchase!" Did you really sell it to us? ”
Li Chaosheng smiled: "Really. ”
Hearing Li Chaosheng's affirmative reply, Lu Xiangsheng clenched his fists excitedly, but Li Chaosheng added: "But my firearms are very expensive, and I'm afraid you can't afford them." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said: "As long as it's not too outrageous, we can still buy some." ”
"Okay, in that case, let's go, I'll show you my arsenal." Li Chaosheng said.
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Since this is the case, we have opened our eyes." ”
Li Chaosheng smiled and said nothing, and walked towards the firearms depot in Guihua City with the two of them, Li Chaohu followed behind at this time, and gave Li Chaosheng a look, the meaning is obvious, how can we sell our weapons in the county, that is the foundation of our roots.
But Li Chaosheng didn't think so, selling weapons is a very profitable business, and the people who sold arms in later generations were all hegemon-level countries, the United States, Tsarist Russia, who didn't sell weapons, and Li Chaosheng never thought about monopolizing weapons.
And the main reason why Li Chaosheng dared to sell weapons unscrupulously was that the number of weapons sold abroad was controllable, and I would sell you as many flintlock pistols as I wanted, and I would not sell you any of them when I counted them.
Second, the profits are really too great, Li Chaosheng's current annual research expenses in the military factory have reached 500,000 or 600,000 taels of silver, which account for a large part of Lantian's financial revenue, and selling weapons can make up for some of the losses in this regard, so that Li Chaosheng can use this money for other development projects.
Moreover, after selling firearms to make up for the losses in this regard, the military factory will also develop more advanced firearms, such as the repeating pistol that Li Chaosheng has in mind, if it is studied, at least the combat effectiveness of the Lantian Army can be doubled, and even if it cannot be studied for the time being, the latest firearms made by Lantian that use paper shell bullets can be officially put into production next year.
With this new gun, this flintlock pistol is a second-tier product, and it would be good if it could be sold at a good price.
And Li Chaosheng is not ready to sell this gun too cheaply, such a Lantian 1633 cost is now about eight taels of silver, Li Chaosheng is ready to sell Lu Xiangsheng twenty taels is not too much, sell a gun Li Chaosheng can make two and a half, so that he will not be in a weak position.
In addition, the most fearful thing about reselling arms is that firearms are imitated, and this Li Chaosheng is even more afraid, because Lantian firearms have their own moats.
For example, the flintlock pistol, the flintlock pistol technology, in fact, can no longer monopolize it, because according to historical records, in the eighth year of Chongzhen, that is, this year, Bi Maokang, who is currently the right attendant of the Ministry of War, researched the flintlock pistol, but because the cost was too high, it was directly abandoned.
So the development moat of the flintlock pistol has been broken, and it makes little sense to stick to it, but the second moat of the flintlock pistol has been established, and that is the manufacturing cost.
It takes a long time to develop and actually put into production, in addition to the run-in from scientific research to practice, the more important thing is the production cost.
Why did Li Chaosheng set the flintlock pistol at twenty taels, because the first batch of flintlock pistols put into production by Li Chaosheng cost twenty-three taels, and at that time, if he wanted to perfectly fit the flint into the musket, he carried out many rounds of experiments and exploration, and then finally broke through the mosaic technology and achieved the effect of 100% firing of the flintlock pistol.
If this is not well inlayed, it is likely that the trigger is pulled and the gun is not fired, which is very embarrassing.
For this reason, the technology is constantly improved in production, so that the cost can be controlled little by little, and finally eight taels of silver can make a perfect flintlock pistol.
And now Li Chaosheng is priced at twenty taels, and he can let Lu Xiangsheng imitate it when he takes it back, and then he will find that the steel made is not qualified, and the inlay technology is also unqualified, and the final cost must be much higher than twenty taels, so he will make a handful and lose a handful.
If he has a deep background, I admit compensation and resist, then Li Chaosheng will not be able to take him, but as long as you are not ready to pay for the bottom, you will stop immediately after producing a few handfuls, or import Lantian cheaply, only twenty taels.
As long as you rely on Lantian, then your tech tree is locked, and if you want to get rid of Lantian's firearm control, you will have to pay a greater price.
This trick was commonly used in later business wars, for example, the United States, a stinky hooligan, likes to dump products far below the market price in other countries, and then impact similar products in other countries.
We often hear in reality that the impact on domestic products, the impact on domestic products, is this reason, he sells the things of their country's mature industrial system to China at a low price, so that Chinese consumers can buy more of their homes, and then the sales of similar domestic brands will not go up, and if the sales volume does not go up, it will not make money, it will be difficult to engage in research and development, and it will be more backward if it is difficult to engage in research and development, and the things produced are expensive and poor, which leads to Chinese consumers not buying even more.
If you don't buy it, he will have no money for research and development, and the money will be taken away by Lao Mei, and then they will continue to research and develop to reduce costs, and then their country's products will be pressed by Chinese manufacturers, forming a vicious circle that is almost unsolvable.
This is a very helpless thing.
And Li Chaosheng's idea is to learn from the same, since the flintlock pistol cannot be monopolized, then let him become a controllable quantity in his hands, the battle of Naturalization City, the power of the flintlock pistol has been deeply rooted in the eyes of Lu Xiangsheng and others, if it is sneaky, they can also get one or two flintlock pistols if they find a way, even if they can't get it from Li Chaosheng, they can also get it from Bi Maokang's hands.
The reason why the flintlock pistol invented by Bi Maokang was not developed, in addition to the high cost, another reason was that the right attendant of his military department did not work long before he was dismissed, and the cost was high.
But this time Lu Xiangsheng saw the power of the flintlock pistol, so if Bi Maokang came up with a similar product, Lu Xiangsheng would definitely support it, so it was possible to develop it.
And Li Chaosheng now sells it directly to you, and at a price lower than the cost of their production, so that Li Chaosheng can always control the source of the product.
This is what Dayu said about water control, it is better to block than to sparse.
If you block the source, they will have to develop from other places, even if it is more difficult, but the Chinese have been smart since ancient times, and this is difficult for them.
And now that the source is open, they have no idea of opening another canal.
In addition, as for the artillery, if they want to imitate, the most difficult thing is the steel, the quality of the steel made by the blast furnace ironmaking method in Lantian is extremely close to steel, so if you want to make such a cannon, the most important thing is not the cannon design, but the steel used in the cannon, and the material determines the weapon, so if others want to imitate, the cost is too great.
This Li Chaosheng is not worried, the last is the grenade, the production of the grenade is more difficult, some of the devices are difficult to imitate, even if you find the best skilled craftsman, it takes a very long time to make one, just like Li Chaosheng at the beginning, at that time it was already produced according to the assembly line, and one or two pieces could be produced in a day.
And Li Chaosheng can now equip the army on a large scale, and the most important thing is that the military factory and Lantian Mechanical Institute have jointly developed a lathe, which can quickly make grenade-related parts, so that they can be produced quickly and in batches.
And Lu Xiangsheng wants to imitate on a large scale, and they must get the lathe, and the technology of the lathe is the top secret of Lantian, and Lu Xiangsheng can't get it.
And even if Lu Xiangsheng finds a skilled craftsman to make one or two a day, it is difficult for the grenade to have terrible lethality if it is not on a large scale, with Lu Xiangsheng's manufacturing speed, it will definitely not be able to catch up with their consumption, and the cost will be very high, so if they want to use it on a large scale, they still need to buy it from Li Chaosheng.
And the price at which Li Chaosheng is ready to sell them is two to three times the cost, that is to say, if you buy me, I can build two in the Lantian Arsenal, and I will always suppress them in terms of firepower.
Li Chaosheng led Lu Xiangsheng to the powder magazine, which was built underground, which stored all the gunpowder that Li Chaosheng had brought to support the Naturalization City, as well as some spare weapons and equipment.
When Lu Xiangsheng arrived here, Lu Xianglin's eyes were straight, staring at the guns in the warehouse, boxes of grenades, and a few artillery pieces in the corner.
These weapons are all spare, large-scale weapons have been sent to the city, becoming the core force to protect the naturalized city, and these are some spare weapons and equipment in front of them, or they have not been sent back after they have been repaired due to a malfunction.
But even so, the weapons and equipment here are rich enough, and the two brothers Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Xianglin seem to have arrived at the gold and silver mountains.
Li Chaosheng said very generously: "This is the arsenal of our Lantian regiment training in Naturalization City, although there are not many weapons here, but the types are rich enough, let me introduce it to you." ”
Li Chaosheng said and reached out and picked up a flintlock pistol Lantian 1633, at this time Li Chaosheng handed it to Lu Xiangsheng and said: "This is the musket that our troops are now equipped, by the way, we call it a musket here, but it is a front-loading flintlock pistol, the model is Lantian 1633, you see, the whole gun design is the same as the bird gun, but there are subtle improvements here, so that the gun movement is more comfortable." ”
Li Chaosheng said and made two aiming movements, and then said: "The firearm is excited by flint, which is also the biggest difference between it and the bird's gun, the use of open flame can be saved by flint excitation, and the three-eyed gun These muskets save the ignition action, don't look at a small action, in the war, this step is saved, at least one or two more shots can be fired."
"Secondly, compared with the bird, due to the strict sealing of our Lantian 1633, it can be guaranteed that it can still be used normally on rainy days, which will greatly reduce the disadvantage of firearm failure on rainy days."
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Xianglin's eyes lit up, and they can still be used normally on rainy days, this is the most attractive thing about this firearm, you must know that you can fight with the Tartars normally, if your own firearms are strong, the Tartars will choose to fight on rainy days, which will cause the bird guns to be unable to be excited, so they can only be forced to engage with the Tartars in short combat, resulting in heavy casualties.
The flintlock pistol can minimize the impact of the weather on firearms, and Lantian 1633 is still better than the first batch of Lantian flintlock pistols, especially in the airtightness, in order to ensure airtightness, the arsenal changed dozens of versions of the design that year, and spent more than 80,000 taels of silver on Li Chaosheng to study related technologies, which is also a technical barrier to Lantian flintlock pistols.
Li Chaosheng took the flintlock pistol and snapped up a scope on the flintlock pistol, Lu Xiangsheng and the two looked at it curiously, Li Chaosheng said: "This is called a scope, when you look at the shooting, the sight, the crosshair, and the target are all in the same line......
Li Chaosheng taught Lu Xiangsheng how to aim with a flintlock pistol, and then took out a fixed ammunition from the warehouse and poured it into the musket, allowing Lu Xiangsheng to experiment.
Immediately followed by Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "It's so accurate, no wonder the Lantian army has such strong firepower, if everyone in my Ming army can be equipped with such weapons, why can't I calm Liaodong." ”
Lu Xiangsheng sighed with emotion, turned to Li Chaosheng and arched his hand and said: "The county is really a talent, and he can actually research such a powerful musket, Lu admires." ”
Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "This is the credit of many military craftsmen in my Lantian County, I just gave a little insignificant support when they needed support. ”
Lu Xiangsheng arched his hand when he heard this: "That is also the leader of Li County. ”
Li Chaosheng listened to Lu Xiangsheng's words, why did he suddenly become complimentary? Thinking about it, Li Chaosheng looked at Lu Xiangsheng suspiciously and said: "Lu Gong is so flattering, he doesn't want to take my weapons for nothing, I can say it, these weapons are all made by the people of Lantian with money, and they can't be given away to others for nothing." ”
Lu Xiangsheng smiled when he heard this: "Li Xianzun thinks of me as someone, I just want to make the county cheaper, Lu is not a rich man, the county is not a lion to open his mouth." “
Hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Li still admires Lu Gong very much, and promises not to ask for more than a penny, so if Lu Gong wants, I will give Lu Gong according to the cost price, twenty taels, how about it?" ”
"Twenty taels, hiss~"
Lu Xiangsheng gasped, this price is really expensive, thinking about Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Li Xianzun, you just said that you admired Lu, then Lu is cheeky, can you give Lu a little cheaper, even if it depends on Lu's loyalty." ”
Li Chaosheng looked at Lu Xiangsheng when he heard this: "Lu Gong, this is already for the sake of your loyalty, others come to buy it, can I sell it to him?" This is my Lantian latest firearm, according to normal thinking, such a gun we should resolutely put an end to the outflow, you see this gun is made of our Lantian best steel, as well as this flint excitation device, but they have all put a lot of effort, and it can't be cheap, if someone else buys it, I will ask him at least twenty-five taels, this is really the cheapest, I don't believe that Lu Gong can find a master craftsman to try to make this flintlock pistol. ”
Li Chaosheng looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Chaosheng when he heard this, and said, "Can't you save a penny?" ”
"I can't save it."
Li Chaosheng wants to die, let's admire and admire, business belongs to business, I can't do business and not make money because I admire you Lu Xiangsheng, after listening to the words, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the flintlock pistol in his hand, he really couldn't put it down, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Cheng." ”
Li Chaosheng smiled, the cost of a flintlock pistol is about eight taels, and with the development of technology, Li Chaosheng hopes to reduce the cost to six taels of silver within a year, and a gun sold to Lu Xiangsheng for twenty taels, that is, to sell one, he can make two to three, and then Lu Xiangsheng will share the cost of his own firearms, and he can expand the army, so that Lu Xiangsheng can bear some of the military expenses for himself.
Thinking of this, Li Chaosheng showed a fox-like smile and said, "Lu Gong needs more than muskets, do you need artillery?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Artillery is also sold?" ”
"Sell."
Li Chaosheng said categorically, for artillery, in fact, Li Chaosheng's artillery is actually about the same as the red-clothed cannon of this era in terms of power, at most it is better in terms of material, and it can shoot one or two more shots in the same time.
In addition, there is a small tiger squat cannon is also the same principle, which can shoot a few more shots in a short time, and the existence of Lantian Steelmaking Plant reduces the production cost of cannons.
In fact, the main thing that restricts the production of Lantian artillery is silver.
A Lantian imitation red-clothed cannon costs more than 800 taels of silver, and a tiger squat cannon costs 200 taels of silver, so Li Chaosheng said to Lu Xiangsheng after the introduction: "Lu Gong, this imitation red-clothed cannon costs 3,000 taels of silver for a piece, and this tiger squat cannon is cheaper by 600 taels." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your price is fair." ”
You must know that Lu Xiangsheng got a red-clothed cannon for nearly 5,000 taels of silver, and Li Chaosheng sold 3,000 taels here to be regarded as a child.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the cannon in front of him and said, "Hey, Li Xianzun, I have a question, why does your cannon seem to hit farther than Jiannu's cannon?" ”
Hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Oh, this is mainly a matter of gunpowder, the gunpowder we use in Lantian is a new type of gunpowder developed by our Lantian Military Factory, and it is more powerful than the gunpowder we used before." ”
"Oh."
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng took a package of gunpowder at this time and said, "Lu Gong, please take a look." ”
Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng glanced at it, and sure enough, the color of this gunpowder was slightly different from the color of their gunpowder. ”
Li Chaosheng heard this and said, "Sell." ”
Li Chaosheng said categorically, Lantian's gunpowder has been made on an assembly line, the output is huge, and it is not difficult to sell it, and Li Chaosheng still has his own careful thoughts, gunpowder is the root of all firearms, if they also buy gunpowder from themselves, then they can even control the root of Daming firearms in a short time.
Lu Xiangsheng asked, "How much?" ”
Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said, "Five taels of silver and ten catties." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "You are a little cheap." ”
Li Chaosheng said: "Lantian makes a lot of it, so it's cheaper." ”
Lu Xiangsheng stopped talking when he heard this, and secretly calculated that the price of normal gunpowder in the Ming Dynasty was eight taels of silver and ten catties, and Li Chaosheng had reduced it by three taels of silver, which was definitely profitable.
And Li Chaosheng is not shouting at such a price, some people will wonder, why Li Chaosheng sells muskets at a high price, and sells gunpowder at a low price, the reason is very simple, it is very difficult for muskets Lu Xiangsheng to imitate, they really need it, and gunpowder, they have gunpowder now, at most the power is small, it is not impossible to use.
If you sell it too expensive, you won't buy it, what's the big deal?
But if you dump at a low price, then Lu Xiangsheng will definitely buy gunpowder from Lantian in the future, and after buying from Lantian, their gunpowder workshop will have fewer orders, and if they have fewer orders, they will not make money, and if they can't make money, they will lay off employees, so they will not think about expanding production, and if it lasts for a while, other gunpowder factories in Daming will go out of business, and then the lifeblood of gunpowder will be in the hands of Li Chaosheng.
So you seem to be doing business with Li Chaosheng, but in fact, Li Chaosheng is not engaged in an economic war, if it continues like this according to Li Chaosheng's ideas, Li Chaosheng can even rely on the economy to collapse this torn Ming.
And this is definitely not the end, when Li Chaosheng's new musket is manufactured, Li Chaosheng even wants to sell this old musket to Li Zicheng, sell it to Sun Chuanting, and sell it to Hong Chengchou.
In this way, first, a large amount of capital chains can be concentrated, and the research and development costs of muskets and artillery can be increased, and secondly, many Huang Shops of the Ming Arsenal can be squeezed, and Li Chaosheng can send people to bring the best craftsmen into Lantian at that time.
As for some people thinking about whether they will take weapons and fight Li Chaosheng in turn, there is this possibility, but it can be controlled, for example, firearms Li Chaosheng can make people move a little bit of hands and feet, such as after shooting a few hundred rounds, a little failure occurs, and they can't continue to use it if they don't repair it, so that they can continue to increase the cost, and the second is to control the number of sales, ensure a safety line, and others are armed with one gun, and Lantian can make two more guns, so that they can suppress firepower.
Last but not least, are you all rich in these people?
No, these people have no money, everyone knows that the army of the imperial court has no money, and even the emperor can't take out a million taels of silver at the last moment, let alone these bitter border troops?
Secondly, the minister has money, but the minister's money is used to get drunk on money, who will exchange all the money for weapons, if they have this consciousness and they exchange the money for firecrackers, they can also organize a strong army, but they don't buy a firecracker, you let the miser take out the money, it's too difficult, they would rather the silver in their own silver cellar moldy, than take out a penny to spend.
The third is the time difference, at present, Li Chaosheng is only ready to sell the gun to Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng guards the border pass, he bought a gun with a high probability to be used on the Tartar, the probability of using it on him is very small, and even if Lu Xiangsheng does not preach morality, he can easily destroy the Tianxiong Army with his own strength.
As long as this period of time passes, Li Chaosheng can go back to increase the research and development of firearms after Lu Xiangsheng's money is made, and after Lantian's new guns are manufactured, these old models can be sold gradually, and at that time his firepower will still be dominant.
To deal with these enemies, you can still suppress them like you use a flintlock pistol to suppress a bird gun today, after all, what Li Chaosheng is producing next is a repeating pistol with a primer.
Of course, these are Li Chaosheng's preliminary plans, and when he goes back, Li Chaosheng will recruit relevant people, conduct strict overall calculations, and work out a red line, so that how many firearms to sell will not pose too much threat to himself.
"Gong Lu, have you studied it, how many weapons have you bought?"
Li Chaosheng looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Lu Xianglin at this time, and followed Lu Xianglin and said, "Li Xianzun, you seem to have a weapon that you haven't introduced?" ”
Li Chaosheng's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he smiled: "Grenade, I knew that you definitely wanted this." ”
Li Chaosheng said, opened a box and said: "This is the weapon at the bottom of our Lantian box, if you throw it out, it is equivalent to a small cannonball, and the power is very strong." ”
Li Chaosheng said and took out a grenade from the box, Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Xianglin's eyes couldn't leave this grenade, and Lu Xiangsheng, a steady person, couldn't help but breathe heavily: "How much does this cost?" ”
