This world is very strange, anything, as long as it has anything to do with money, it will change its taste, husband and wife turn against each other, brothers Yan Wall, many times, it is because of money.

The general just chatted casually with Yang Xin with a joke, but he didn't expect the other party to express his intention to buy his own weapons very sincerely.

The general felt that the person in front of him was becoming more and more interesting, not a normal person's brain circuit, so he asked again: "Then what kind of weapon do you want to buy?" ”

Yang Xin thought for a while and said, "Is there a way for the general to get a musket and make a price, as long as the price is right, the small ones are willing to buy some." ”

The general almost laughed, it turned out that this person wanted to buy muskets, the current muskets are arquebuses, and there are many in the Dashun army, all of which were snatched from the hands of the officers and soldiers, but this thing is not accurate, the launch is slow, and the bow and arrow are shot several arrows, and it is useless when it rains, afraid of water, and some shoddy ones will blow up the chamber if they are not good, and the Dashun army really doesn't like to use it very much.

He had three muskets at his disposal, all for those who were least of them, and together with the archers, they used some long-range firepower.

He had the heart to tease this hundred households, and said with a smile: "It's not impossible if you want to buy a musket, I can get it for you, but this price is not cheap, and the general will charge you a hundred taels of silver." ”

"No problem, the small ones want to buy 10 sticks!"

Yang Xin said without hesitation.

He is not afraid of being expensive, he is afraid that he will not be able to buy it.

The general was taken aback, he just reported a sky-high price, one hundred taels of silver, which is already a lot of wealth in the people, and the Dashun army robbed more than 10 million taels of silver in the entire capital, not counting those coerced homeless people, the Dashun army can have as many as 300,000, and the average is only a few dozen taels on everyone's head, but in fact, the people above take more, and the soldiers at the bottom can have twenty or thirty taels It is good, since the general entered the city, he has robbed for so long, and he has divided two or three hundred taels of silver.

Of course, he is also considered to be a relatively poor mix in Liu Zongmin's army, otherwise he would not still want to come out to rob, but he didn't catch enough, and those who have caught enough will enjoy it in the palace, who would want to come out.

But the 100 households in front of him want to buy ten muskets in one go, and if they sell them at a sky-high price of 100 taels, they can get 1,000 taels!

Let's calculate it like this, the military salary given by the Dashun Army to the recruits is only one and a half taels a month, and only eighteen taels a year, and this musket is worth the recruits' life money for five years!

Thinking of this, the general's heart couldn't stop pounding.

Even the three soldiers who had muskets in his team thought about selling the guns in their hands, anyway, they sold guns and knives, what were they afraid of?

At this time, Liu Zongmin was promiscuous in the palace all day long, and his subordinates had no military discipline at all, and they were thinking about two things, one was to make money, and the other was to enjoy beautiful people, wine and food.

So, if you sell the musket, no one cares about it.

"Okay, you wait here until I get a gun."

The general's ghost made a miracle to agree to this business, and even he himself felt a little incredible.

His idea was very simple, at the price of twenty taels each, he would go to the camp and find someone with muskets to buy it, and then transfer it to this hundred households, so that he could earn eight hundred taels from it.

This is eight hundred taels, which is equivalent to robbing the capital three times!

The general left quickly with a few of his subordinates, and Yang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, believing that he had made the right bet.

He remembered a tricky show he watched in his previous life, a rich second generation, found a couple, and expressed their willingness to spend $10,000 to spend a night with each other's girlfriends, and as a result, they were able to succeed several times.

Of course, this kind of behavior without a bottom line is difficult to succeed in a normal society, but it is not surprising that the United States is a money-first society, and it is not surprising that it has succeeded several times.

And Yang Xin gambled that Liu Zongmin's army was not a strictly disciplined army, and it was not surprising that his subordinates did something out of the ordinary.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, the young general named Sun Shixiong came back with ten arquebuses, and even the bullets and gunpowder were complete.

Until he saw Yang Xin and the others leave, Sun Shixiong was suddenly stunned with the silver in his arms, and thought, what did I do? I'm out to rob!

And Yang Xin's body was still in an extremely nervous mood, and the guards of the half-sized children were very excited, and they even sped up their steps a lot.

Any advanced weapon, need to be matched with the strategy and tactics, in order to exert its power, the Ming army is equipped with a large number of muskets and artillery, has proved that muskets are already the future of weapons.

Don't say that muskets are useless, the Ming army can't beat the Manchu Qing with cold weapons, there are very complex reasons for this, Yang Xin stands in the perspective of later generations, one is the lack of training of the Ming army, for a group of soldiers who often can't even eat enough and have no spiritual support, hard training is often a luxury, the most critical thing in war is always people, otherwise, how to explain the army of a group of people with millet plus rifles to defeat the aircraft cannon?

Second, the Ming army lacked advanced tactics with firearms, and muskets needed to be more closely coordinated with ordinary cold weapons, after all, the muskets of this era were very poor, but they could be compensated for by the tactics of platoon guns. The firing range is also insufficient, and the power of the musket, the closer it is, the greater the greater, which requires the soldier to have a good psychological quality, of course, and the cooperation of comrades-in-arms, the Western musketeers at this time need the spearmen to cooperate with the defense of close quarters.

The last point, and the most critical point, is money, compared with cold weapons, firearms consume a lot, after all, cold weapons can also be reused, bows and arrows can be recycled, but every shot is released, money is burning.

Yang Xin didn't quite believe that some people in later generations said that the muskets of the Ming army were shoddy, and if they were really that bad, it would be impossible for the Ming army to regard the muskets as an important main battle weapon.

So, in response to these points, Yang Xin formulated a detailed training plan, and began to train hard as soon as he came back.

……

Today, the caravan that went out still came back very late, and it must be said that these homeless people are very industrious, going out early and returning late every day, carrying a dough cake in their arms for lunch, and they are full of motivation to make money.

"Today's harvest has decreased, and it is only sold for more than a thousand taels."

At the meeting after dinner, the princess reported the accounts to the people.

"The price is still too high, many people are frightened after asking the price, and the old man thinks that if he sells it at yesterday's price, our goods will be emptied in one day!"

Uncle Tian on the side said with a bitter face.

"Yes, but we don't have many goods, just sell them like this, and we can sell them for a few more days, and it's no problem to sell them for ten days or eight days!"

Aunt Chen is very happy, she is not so greedy, the current price is eight times the purchase price, which means that if you sell a thousand taels, you can earn more than 800 taels, just sell it slowly, you can make more than 800 taels a day, and they will wake up laughing when they dream.

The crowd agreed, and most of them thought so.

Yang Xin nodded, "Okay, then sell at this price, and continue to ...... tomorrow"
