Chapter 17 We Can Make Our Own
Aaron had never thought that flint could be used to make muskets, and in his mind, it was nothing more than something for lighting, and he was taken aback to hear Sinampe's "flintlock pistol" speak of. Originally, he wanted to try harder, but the king immediately inserted strongly, making him a little helpless.
The king's eyes when he looked at Sinampe became extremely sharp in an instant, and the people around him noticed it.
He didn't bother to hide it. He needed to find out whether Sinampei was trying to disrupt the business regardless of the safety of Yiqiē or even Kape, or whether he already had a replacement case.
The king thought, "If it is the former, then he can only be an honest scholar." ”
No wonder the king has such worries, in his impression, Sinampei is a person who is usually not very enthusiastic about other things that are not beneficial except for the qiē related to Theresa-the king is right, Capet is not Sinampei's homeland, he lacks the enthusiasm to fight for the righteousness, and what he does is, in the final analysis, for Theresa.
The king knew very well the little abacus in Sinampei's heart.
Facing the king's meaningful eyes, Sinan Pei smiled, stabilized his mind, and said confidently: "Of course, we made ...... ourselves."
"Are you sure your product is better than the Tuk's product?" the king raised an eyebrow in Aaron's presence.
"I was born into a nation that sees the world with two eyes. Others, relative to us, are nothing more than blind. Sinan Pei was proud. If you don't do this, how can you show that you are confident?
"Blind?" Theresa muttered in a low voice, "scolding me too." "She's not careful, she's just ...... It's just a habitual complaint. In any case, Si Nanpei's appearance is usually difficult for people to associate the trait of "seeing the world with two eyes" with him.
"I remember the last time you accused my army of being barbarians. The king's eyes widened and looked unusually delicate. No one knows what he's thinking right now, though.
"It is true, Your Majesty, that you are a wise sovereign, and I remember that you have calmly understood this. Sinampei finally showed a little strong temperament - he not only needs to show his perseverance and toughness, but also needs to show his courage. He understands this.
If one day, the king can really think of himself as a quasi-son-in-law, then these are all plus items, not minus.
"Well, I'll ask you again, what are you going to build it with?" snorted the king, "and all the mines we have at present are in the northern district of Caledonia. ”
"Majesty, actually...... I already have a lot of information on the mines of the South, and if we can mobilize enough manpower, these high-quality and easy-to-mine minerals will soon become a resource for us to continue the war. Sinampei didn't have a taboo with Aaron next to him, so he opened his mouth.
"Si, when are you ......" Theresa covered her mouth and said in surprise, "I don't even know that!"
"Your Highness...... Haven't you noticed that there are many businessmen who want to come to your fiefdom to buy land recently?" said Sinan Pei with a smile.
"Looks like there are such a group of ......," Theresa muttered, patting her head.
"Because a lot of these places are your private property, ...... Those texts are all my purpose. Sinan Pei said proudly, "Some of them are indeed valuable land, so I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but later I found out that there were still a few merchants trying to buy some barren mountains and mountains...... That's what makes me a little concerned. I asked Bol and the others to go to these places and investigate, and sure enough, they found something very interesting. I have to say that the intelligence network of those businessmen is really powerful. ”
"Those guys who take advantage of people's danger......" Theresa couldn't help but clench her fists angrily, "I'll make them look good one day, huh!"
"There's a bit of pyrrhotite and other things I can't handle, but there's also good quality iron ore. Sinan Pei narrowed his eyes, "And ......"
"Alright, don't say any more. The king coughed, and Sinanpei stopped.
He found a place where copper was produced...... Of course, this important thing cannot be said in front of Aaron.
"Have you ever wondered who is going to mine these things? We don't have a shortage of skilled craftsmen -- we don't have many people to bring back from Pali City. The king looked at him as if he was going to force him to death.
Si Nanpei was really a little weak this time, he was sure that if he had taken the initiative to tell King Sù all this information earlier, he would definitely not be the expression he has now......
"There are two good open pit mines that can be considered for early mining, because they are less difficult to mine, so they don't need much specialists...... By the way, we can also train our new experts. Sinampei swallowed a mouthful of spit with a little difficulty and said.
"And what about the production cycle?" snorted the King, "and though Pali is plagued, no one can be sure when Edward will make his way south. ”
"......" Sinampei glanced at Aaron this time, shook his head, and refused to say anything more - because, if this guy knew that his production cycle was short enough to shoot compared to this era, he would probably be remembered - not afraid of thieves, afraid of thieves!
The king's jaw. He was very satisfied with Si Nanpei's table today. But...... Being too satisfied isn't necessarily a good thing. The king thought of his son, who was no different from an officer, and became a little worried.
But he wouldn't put that worry on his face.
"I wish you could, Si. Shaking his head slightly, the king was noncommittal about Sinampei's confidence. He turned his head again and looked at Aaron.
"You'd better show your true bottom line, Mr. Aaron. As you can see, I'm not short of talent. "Now, the king's momentum is completely different from what it was just now, neither aggressive nor cautious, but it shows a kind of grace.
Aaron smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty." Actually, the Sultan and the Kapdan Pasha once told me that as long as you can accept the weapons, it doesn't matter if you sign a treaty or not......"
The king sighed and nodded, "It seems that His Majesty the Sultan has no confidence in me." ...... don't hesitate."
Theresa suddenly jumped out: "The price, if it is reduced by another twenty percent, we will ask for it! We will not ask for any more points! Otherwise, go back with your weapons!"
