Chen Zhang originally thought that Qian Ruxue would be entangled, but he didn't admit it for a long time, just after dinner in the evening, Qian Ruxue hurriedly ran over, and the first sentence was I want to make money.

was so straightforward, Chen Zhang was stunned when it came

"You are like snow with this money, didn't you say that you want to be a general? Why is it good to make money again? ”

Qian Ruxue's beautiful eyes showed a determined look, and she had been thinking about this all day long.

After determining that the establishment of the firearms battalion will require a lot of money, and this money is not a small amount, he took a deep breath and said

"Lord Chen, you told Zhao Dachun that our Liefeng Camp is naturally weaker than men, and if you want to change this situation, the only way is to use your hands and feet on weapons, and the best thing is firearms, and if you want to establish firearms, you need a lot of money, you need a lot of money, otherwise there is no way to build it, so I have to make money."

"Yes"

Chen Zhang didn't take the bridge either, he didn't want to give Qian Ruxue a chance to regret it directly after taking Qiao, so he took a deep breath and said

"Since you want to make money, then so be it, I will rely on you for all the ways our barbarians make money, or if you have any methods, you can also tell me, and I will give you a part of the money you earn when the time comes, and you can use it to buy muskets and equip the Burning Phoenix Battalion."

Qian Ruxue nodded and hesitated slightly

"Yes, but I have a request, that is, I need more money, or although the current Dachang Imperial musket is available, but the quality and performance are very poor, I need to invest money in research and development, which requires a lot of money, and you must support it."

"Yes, no problem"

Chen Zhang's eyes lit up, this is something that cannot be sought

"In that case, then I'll tell you, now the only way for our barbarian army to make money is to reach an agreement with the miners in Antai County to share their two percent of the benefits, and there is no other way to make money, after all, we are all wandering around now, so do you think there is any way to make money?"

Chen Zhang knows very well that robbery is indeed the fastest way to make money, but it is impossible to rob it permanently.

In the previous life, the reason why Qian Ruxue was able to develop trade and expand the business territory earned Ye Tian a lot of money.

In addition to his own ability, the most important thing is that Ye Tian belongs to the official forces, belongs to the official generals, and has his own territory, in other words, he has the right to have money, soldiers and food, and money is like snow to be able to be like a fish in water.

The reality is that I'm a rogue now, and I don't have a place, so it's quite difficult.

Qian Ruxue gritted her teeth and nodded

"There's no problem with that. If you want to develop trade, then in addition to robbery, the most important thing is to sell some daily necessities, our family is to make cloth, but cloth needs a place, and it is not suitable now, so the best thing is to make a salt, one is food, as long as you master these two, you will not worry about no business, or it is to occupy a certain place to have a large number of iron ore mineral resources, but now it seems that there are some difficulties for us, after all, we are rogues, and the best and most suitable way seems to be only to rob the house"

Qian Ruxue analyzed carefully, and the more she analyzed, the more desperate she became

The rogue's business does exist, but it's actually quite difficult, but with enough resources, even the rogues can sell their stuff and buy guns and shells back.

"Okay. Well, since that's the case. In this case, now all the booty harvested in our barbarian army can be processed and sold, and part of the money earned will be reserved for the army, part of it will be used for logistics, and the other will be allocated to you, as a bandit of the Liefeng Army, you can buy weapons or gunpowder, as for the improvement of firearms and gunpowder, I will allocate another part of it, and it will not be deducted from your funds. ”

Chen Zhang was well aware of the importance of gunpowder. Once firearms are really developed, it will definitely belong to the destruction of the era, and at that time, don't say what Ye Tian is, even if Ye Tian is the master of luck, he can only turn into ashes under the action of thermal weapons.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Zhang is reluctant to develop thermal weapons and gunpowder, after all, his purpose is to return to reality and die indefinitely, not really the so-called saving the country and saving the people.

But now. He always felt that he should do something for Zhao Dachun and the others, after all, they were loyal to themselves and were born and died, even if they were going to die, at least they would leave something for them.

With this firearm in hand, even if they are not Ye Tian's opponents in the future, it is no problem to defect to the imperial court with firearms and take refuge in the government to obtain an official and a half-job.

After all, if you have use value, others will recruit you and look down on you, otherwise you can only be a weed in the grass, and you can only be a grass mustard that no one cares about, and you don't need to kill you with the second knife.

I have to say that Chen Zhang's mind is changing unconsciously.

Although he wanted to go home, although he died infinitely, Zhao Dachun, Shishi, Zhao Zhi and others were rescued every time, and every time they destroyed his good deeds, he was angry, but there was always a soft place in his heart that was touched, and not everyone could risk their lives and fight for it.

If they can do this, then Chen Zhang thinks that he must also do something for them, at least leave some way back for them.

And if you want to develop firearms, it is definitely not a simple matter, the initial investment must be like a sea, even in the real society, the development of armaments is multiplied by tens of thousands, and it takes countless failures to succeed once.

The Dachang Empire saw only the drawbacks of gunpowder. I only saw that the development of gunpowder cost a lot of money and slowly did not end the period, but it was not the vision after success, or even if I saw them, I would not do it, this was determined by those in power.

Those in power have a large amount of armaments, they have a large number of armies, and once firearms are successfully developed, there will be people who use firearms to be able to fight thousands of troops, which is undoubtedly a catastrophe for those in power.

Firearms are weapons, and how they are used is up to people.

In other words. In the past, when you rebelled, you needed to coerce the population, but once you have firearms, hundreds or even dozens of people can rush into the palace, which is a great danger to the imperial power.

Of course, the imperial power can also develop a large number of weapons, but this danger factor is too great, since it can be suppressed with knives and guns, with absolute numbers, why develop such a thing as firearms that can shake the country's capital? To a certain extent, the development of firearms suppressed by the major feudal states was, in the final analysis, because the population was large and too strong.

What can be solved with population, who wants to use firearms.

To put it bluntly, there are many people who are not valuable.

Chen Zhang shook his head and threw away the ideas in his mind, when he used to be in reality or watching historical documentaries, he always thought that ancient people were very stupid, and they were the first to invent gunpowder, but they made it into fireworks, and did not continue to develop.

Even if there were artillery muskets later, they eventually degenerated into strange and clever dramas, in addition to the timidity of the eyes of those in power, the fundamental reason was that the country was strong and populous at that time, and it was able to conquer the surrounding area without muskets.

In the middle and late periods, corrupt officials were rampant, and although firearms were powerful, to a certain extent, once they developed, there would be rebellions with very few people, and the imperial power would be shaken, so it would be greatly suppressed.

To put it bluntly, it is to increase the cost of your resistance, think about it, this has the same effect as banning guns in real society.

After the barbarian army had Qian Ruxue in charge of trade, Qian Ruxue soon sorted out and collected all the things that the barbarian army had looted in Antai County, arranged them in an orderly manner, some of them could be sold somewhere, some could be used for their own use, and a series of contents were also formulated."

The next time you attack a city for seizure, focus on what to capture. Suffice it to say that everything is in order.

Before, Zhao Dachun and others grabbed the things and threw them all back, even if the logistics department did the inventory, they were all roughly counted, and they didn't know which ones could be sold and which ones couldn't be sold, most of them were food and grain and weapons.

No one understands other so-called antique calligraphy and paintings, and no one cares, but with money like snow, it is different, like some precious ancient calligraphy and paintings, which will be collected in different categories, and these can also be sold for money.

With money like snow, the economy and logistics of the barbarian army suddenly improved again.

As for the Liefeng Camp, it didn't matter, Qian Ruxue handed it over to the maid Chunxiang and Qiucao to manage.

The two of them were able to manage the Liefeng Camp, which now only has 50 people, in an orderly manner, and there were no mistakes, and everything was developing on the right track.

And Chen Zhang led the troops to the largest city in Dongshan Prefecture.

Antarctic Province.

Antarctica Province is located in the largest city of Dongshan Road, is the only way to the central part of the road, because of the connection between the central part and the East Mountain here, quite prosperous, prosperous trade, and there is a prefect in its town, through here you can reach Zhongzhou, is the capital of a horse Pingchuan.

At this moment, the Antarctic Mansion is in a bustle. As the most important interface to Zhongzhou, generals from all over the country have stepped in, and a large number of troops passing by have also brought the economy here to life.

Although some generals will ask for supplies and refuse to give money, it is a pity that they have met the prefect of Antarctica.

Zhao Hengshun, the governor of Antarctica. It belongs to the Queen Mother's faction, and after being promoted, he has been conscientious, and he also has teachers and classmates who have achieved a great yuan in the capital, which can be said to be powerful.

In addition, now that the Dachang Empire is noble and martial, many generals want to be tough, but they are all reprimanded, and in the end they can only pay obediently. Carry out resupply.

Otherwise, I am afraid that I will starve to death before I reach the capital.

"Lord Prefect, the account has been calculated, and we have earned a full amount of 100,000 taels of silver during this period of time."

"One hundred thousand taels of silver, did you earn one hundred thousand taels of silver in three days? I really didn't expect these Chuba to be so rich. ”

Zhao Hengshun laughed, took the account book from the account room, and gently rolled his eyes with bright light.
