Business is business, everything in the world can be traded! When Wang Yangming received the urgent war report sent back by Tian Erma, he immediately convened an enlarged meeting of the general yamen.

When everyone arrived, Wang Yangming raised his hand with a smile on his face, wiped his buttocks and broke the paper in disgust: "Everyone, good news!" The Lord has passed the Persian Gulf safely, and has successfully sold a batch of obsolete firearms at a high price, and has also prompted the two empires of the Great Food Land to fight each other! Now this, oh, the Safavid Empire, wants to add an order, hehe, the Lord is really ruthless, uh, what a wizard in business, a three-eyed gun is eight taels of gold! However, the order is urgent, so please discuss. Liu Jian's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "The old man didn't hear it wrong, right?" The garbage of the Three-Eyed Gun is worth eight taels of gold? Wang Yangming nodded again and again: "Boss, the bird gun is also a high price, thirteen taels of gold!" One hundred taels of Tiger Zun cannons, five hundred taels of Shenwei General cannons! It's all pure gold! "There was an uproar!

What the hell is this sea? What silk porcelain is sold? The selling point is so broken that you can't walk!

Only Wang Hua shook his head incessantly, saddened that his most proud apprentice's eyes had fallen into the eyes of money, and the world was becoming more and more popular!

Wang Feng immediately spoke: "Immediately collect the firearms of each guard in the south of the Yangtze River, exchange them in a ratio of one to three, and exchange three bird guns for a shotgun!" We've got to earn! Xie Qian laughed: "Good idea! Let's send a letter to the capital immediately, and buy their rags with real money. Well, plus the freight, I think three taels of silver is enough for a bird's gun! Lin Jun shouted in his conscience, I didn't expect that your graceful Xie Yuqiao was also a big profiteer!

A bird gun is nearly a hundred times more profitable as soon as it changes hands, which is really a good calculation! Zhao Shizhen raised his hand with a sad face: "The things in the capital can't work, they have to be modified." The flintlock device alone is going to die! The construction period is too short, I'm afraid it can't be supplied! "Yes, the Tiger Zun cannon can be sold untouched, and the Shenwei general cannon has to be re-poured, so it is better to produce it directly!

Wang Zhi was also in charge of ordnance production, he frowned and thought for a moment, his eyes lit up: "Wouldn't it be good to reduce the price?" Pull the firearms into grades, divide them into three, six, nine, and so on, and sell them all! Oh wait, did you send someone to contact that Ottoman Empire? Good things can't be sold to just one company, otherwise they won't be a one-shot deal? "Holy!

Bad! It's really bad! Chang Yulu wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and raised her thumb: "Grandpa Wang is really tall!" I think the idea is so broad, you can sell firearms to that Mamluk! Shaybani can too, that Chagatai can't be sold, and Mughals can also drop! Damn, Wang Changshi, hurry up and open the mine! Otherwise, the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty should be turned into cast cannons, what should the people do? A word woke up the dreamer, and everyone immediately realized that what this old man said was not bad at all!

Wang Yangming immediately made a decision: "Increase the development of new Penglai!" Tell Qin Hong that the prisoners sent to Xinpenglai must step up mining and increase the reward. Well, recruit poor people from Fujian, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and those who are willing to go to work in Xinpenglai will be given a settlement fee! Oh, I think five taels of silver is a lot. What does the old man think? Liu Jian smiled, held the teacup and said slowly: "Yangming, the method is good." But isn't it a little narrower? Our people north of the Yangtze River are also unclothed and hungry! "The conference was very successful, very timely, after the meeting Jinling set off a big wave of construction of manufacturing industry, all walks of life of wealthy businessmen, well-informed nobles, wealthy officials and family members, all of them spent a lot of money, Jinling machine tool factory orders have been scheduled to three years later!

A large amount of money was put into the market, and suddenly a big storm brewed with Jinling as the center!

Jinling is like a powerful magnet, attracting the surrounding crowd. First Jiangsu Province, then Zhejiang, Shandong, Anhui, in just a few days, snowballing like stirring the storm!

Who can be tired of making money? Whether it is a province that is subordinate to the general yamen or not, from top to bottom, it is like beating chicken blood, jumping up and down!

Countless small workshops have sprung up from the ground, and craftsmen such as blacksmiths, cobblers, and leathermen have all become fragrant and sweet.

Even those who knew how to do it twice but did not make a living were attracted by the salary offered by the owner of the workshop, and they put down their farming tools and hunting bows one after another, and entered the factories and workshops.

It's just that the gentry who only know the heirloom of poetry and books have all disappeared from the long-term and short-term jobs under their hands, and the thousands of acres of fertile land at home can only watch the weeds overgrown, and it is useless to cry for the emperor!

Provincial officials reacted differently, but the one who opened the workshop didn't have a third parent? Money opens acquaintances to intercede, and several people's tall papers have become fuel in the yamen!

Those gentry who cry that there is no one in the sky have finally experienced what it means to pass the buck! Hua Houwei once thought about developing some oil fields, although this internal combustion engine is not good, but it can be used anyway, right?

Although there are more failures, the quality is second, and the driving on the road is unstable, but the work in the field is always about to be done.

But Jinling Internal Combustion Engine Factory just has no orders, what two-stroke engine, what iron bull, no matter what you say, no one will take a second look!

I want to find a wronged boss to try a few more times, but I haven't had a chance! Well, this time, the gentry, who only knew how to farm, were surprised to find that there were machines that could work without people.

Oh, that's not right, it's a super efficient machine that doesn't require a lot of manpower. That's also cost-effective, anyway, there is no one now, only a dead horse can be a live horse doctor.

With the continuous investment and circulation of funds, this primitive two-stroke internal combustion engine has been greatly improved in a short period of time.

The problem of indiscriminate oil spraying is gone, the problem of turning off the fire casually is gone, and the problem of striking after humming twice is gone, and it has completely changed its appearance, which is well received by the gentry of the majority of poetry and book heirlooms!

But! Not enough oil! In the past, the oil I got back was from Yan'an, and the amount needed was not large, and there was still a small oil field in Jiangnan, so I didn't take it seriously.

Not now, there is an urgent need for large quantities of oil to be refined into fuel for internal combustion engines. The land north of the Yangtze River has long been barren after thousands of years of cultivation.

The 800-mile Qinchuan River, which used to be the land of fish and rice, is now a poor place. The Kai Zong of Jiangnan, as well as the yamen of various provinces, and merchants of various industries, all sent people to recruit people in the poor places in the north.

For a time, on the loess road in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu, the convoy helped the old and the young, all of whom were people going to the south of the Yangtze River!

"This won't work!" Li Dongyang pointed to the folds on the table, and said to a few pavilion elders with a sad face.

Ma Wensheng also sighed for a long time: "What Bin Zhigong said is extremely true, the people are lost, the south of the Yangtze River is growing stronger and stronger, and when the time comes, King Wu will not need to come to the city, and we will be defeated ourselves!" ”
