However, the turmoil of the court situation and the independence of the localities have been unable to get the war horses distributed by the imperial court.

Nowadays, if you can solve the problem of war horses, you can make the cavalry of the army more mobile.

Li Yue once also thought about smuggling war horses from outside the customs, but at this time, the land transportation in the northwest and northeast had been blocked, and there was no way to trade at all, so it could only be transported by sea.

And at this moment, the war horses smuggled by sea can only be Houjin's.

"Very well, as long as this problem is solved, things like medicines are not difficult to solve, and I have more things you need there."

Li Yue's expression was a little excited, as if he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke.

However, at this time, Qiu Wanshengsheng did not show any emotional fluctuations, but was very calm.

"Grandpa Guo, our Qiu family will never live up to your trust, this matter will definitely be done, and the meeting gifts I brought this time are all firearms purchased from the Franky people, and they are definitely the most advanced in terms of workmanship and materials."

Qiu Wansheng said confidently.

When he heard this, Li Yue was still a little lost.

It's not because the gift Qiu Wansheng sent is not to his liking, but because he can't make the same material as the Frankie cannons and flintlock pistols.

"Since you have an overseas trade with the Francis, you should keep me on the lookout for some of the Francis' craft in forging cannons and guns, and it would be better if you could bring me some of their craftsmen there."

Li Yue looked at Qiu Wansheng with a serious face, and his voice was very low when he spoke.

Hearing this, Qiu Wansheng also understood that Li Yue wanted to make his own guns and cannons, and he was immediately surprised.

Although the imperial court at this time was turbulent and rogues, there were no local officials who rebelled.

After all, the Ming Dynasty at this time was still a well-established empire.

If anyone dares to openly rebel, they will definitely become the target of public criticism.

"Grandpa Guo, thank you for your trust, I will secretly arrange someone to do this matter, and I won't let others know."

Qiu Wansheng said very cautiously.

Hearing these words, Li Yue also understood that the other party understood his words, and at the same time showed curiosity, looking at the other party from top to bottom.

"You and I met for the first time, why did you give me such a big gift, and still want to cooperate with me, what do you want?"

Li Yue asked with a puzzled expression.

Qiu Wansheng, who heard the question, showed a bitter smile, looking a little helpless.

"Grandpa Huiguo, as early as when my father was alive, my younger brother was sent to study with the Francis, and when he returned from his studies, he naturally had a close relationship with the Francis, and he had frequent trade contacts, so he was hated by others."

Qiu Wansheng said helplessly.

Hearing this, Li Yue felt that this Qiu Wansheng looked like a scoundrel who took advantage of it and behaved well.

The Ming merchants did business with the Franky people on the surface and behind the scenes, almost all of them were smuggling, and few of them were good people.

But when I heard the man in front of me speak, it was as if he was a good person being bullied by a bad person.

"I also understand that as a maritime merchant, there are some contradictions between you, and this can't be blamed on them, if your family is dominant, there will be no way for them to live."

Li Yue smiled indifferently, stepped forward while speaking, and deliberately refilled Qiu Wansheng's tea in person.

This made Qiu Wansheng very frightened, and hurriedly stood up.

"Thank you, Grandpa Guo, I won't tell you, it's also my helpless move to cooperate with you, if I don't rely on you, I'm afraid that it won't take long for our family's business to be swallowed up by them."

Qiu Wansheng looked helpless, revealing his tragic side, his eyes turned red instantly, and tears couldn't stop flowing down, looking like a little daughter-in-law after being bullied.

When Li Yue saw this scene, he originally wanted to laugh, but because of such an atmosphere, he didn't laugh out loud.

I just took a deep breath and showed a very solemn appearance, looking very understanding of the other party.

"I see, am I not the same? But it doesn't matter, it won't take long for you and me to cooperate, and the southeast coast, even the north, will give you a foothold. ”

The more confident I became, the louder I became.

And this self-confidence comes from his own smart brain, which has several drugs that can be made at the current level.

With a few drugs, it is possible to push the level of medicine in this era.

As for making steel and making firearms, it is not what he is good at.

At this time, Li Yue thought about it clearly, and he should use his own strengths to make up for his shortcomings.

Hearing this, Qiu Wansheng was also excited, and almost didn't kneel down for Li Yue.

The two began to talk again, and it didn't end until noon.

When Qiu Wansheng left, Li Yue still walked out of the mansion with a smile on his face.

At this time, there were less than half of the people waiting around, but the carriage of the prefect's yamen was still there.

When he saw Qiu Wansheng leaving, Zhao Tongjuan, who got off the carriage, hurriedly came to Li Yue.

Looking at Zhao Tongjuan's expectant expression, he understood that Gu Haiping was in a hurry and wanted to see him.

"Lord Zhao, didn't you say that you would only reply to me in the evening, why did you come here so early?"

Li Yueming knew that Zhao Tongju had come here to wait a long time ago, but he pretended not to know, and asked again.

Hearing the question, the corners of Zhao Tongjuan's mouth twitched, and he still secretly scolded Li Yuezhen in his heart that he was not a person, so he waited all morning, and actually said that he had just seen himself.

"The prefect woke up, and he specially asked him to invite Grandpa Guo to go to the mansion to talk about it, and he happened to be able to see Miss Chen and Miss Zhao."

Zhao Tongju held back his anger and said calmly.

Hearing these words, Li Yue was taken aback, and felt that things had changed again.

Originally, I wanted to go to the prefect's yamen in the evening, but now the other party is in a hurry to let me go, there must be something important.

"Lord Zhao, yesterday you didn't say that the prefect had woken up, but sometimes he was sober, sometimes he was confused, now I want to go over, if the prefect is confused, won't it be in vain?"

Li Yue pretended to be worried and said.

Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Tongjuan's mouth twitched again, as if he was about to hold back the anger in his heart.

I also knew in my heart that this Li Yue in front of me was indeed a difficult guy.

"Master Gu is more sober now, Lang Zhong said that he is recovering well, and Miss Chen is also very concerned about Grandpa Guo."

Zhao Tongju's expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem to have any mood swings.

But in his heart, he was extremely hateful, and he felt that Li Yue in front of him was definitely a loach that people couldn't catch, very sleek.

Hearing this, Li Yue also thought deeply for a long time, and then agreed to Zhao Tong's request.

Just casually took a dozen people and went to the prefect's yamen together.
