Chapter 52 The opening is auspicious

"Prince and teacher, although the person who made this law is talented, but he is a short-sighted person who has a foundation of self-chaos. Xu Qian said bluntly.

"What do you mean by that?" the crown prince was interested.

"There is a lot of money in this law, and the one who makes it is more like a merchant than a monarch. "Ninety percent of the punishment regulations in the "Yunyang Local Order" have fines, and some inconsequential minor crimes can also be bailed by paying a ransom, which is another way for Luo Heng to make money in his life.

"This is really a good guess for you, according to the rumors of the hidden prison, this Luo Heng is likely to be a merchant who has been exiled from the sea. The prince said.

"It turned out to be him. Zhang Qifeng was slightly shocked. Feng Luoheng is the marquis, and the strategy of driving wolves and harassing tigers also has his part.

As soon as this law is promulgated, it will inevitably open up the disaster of chaotic power with wealth, and the people will inevitably respect the supremacy of money over time, and the chaos of rich businessmen manipulating court officials may not appear. Xu Qian analyzed from the side.

Buying Xing with money, everyone tacitly knows it in private, but you can't put it on the surface. But now some people put it on the bright side, and even wrote it into the law, isn't this strengthening the financial power and weakening the power of the monarchy? This law is to tell the treacherous rich merchants that their time is coming.

This argument is reasonable. Zhang Qifeng agreed.

How did they know that the deep purpose of Luo Heng's promulgation of this law was to give birth to capitalism and speed up the process of social progress.

Of course, this does not mean that they are short-sighted, the germination of capitalism can certainly accelerate social development, but at the same time it will destroy the rule of absolute monarchy, social change is always accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, and a ruling class that does not do well will be sent to the guillotine. What kind of work is this?

"In this case, according to the wishes of the two ministers, please take it and repair the national law. The crown prince ordered.

"Your Highness's intentions. ”

"You kid is too unruly, you don't save face for the old man in front of the prince, I think your ass is itchy again. After leaving the palace, Zhang Qifeng grabbed Xu Qian's ear and exhaled. Xu Qian, the future national pillar, was made by him with a ring ruler.

"Oops, hey, hey, pain, pain Xu Qian broke free of Zhang Qifeng's boneless hands, rubbed his ears and laughed. The teacher was the person he admired the most in his life.

"In the future, you should think twice about everything, and don't force yourself to come out. If you don't speak today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will guard against Na Luo Heng, and now His Royal Highness will guard against you even more. Zhang Qifeng said. "It's all to blame Lu Yun's rabbit cub, I was blind at the beginning, how could I promote such a wolf with ambition to the throne? Now it's good, I'm afraid that there will be at least three generations of kings in this Liang country who no longer believe in courtiers. ”

"Students are taught. Xu Qian bowed. The old man is still so fierce, he dares to scold the rabbit cub who is the minister of power in the court, and I am afraid that there will be no third person in this huge Liang country. He also dared to scold.

Yunyang County, the shooting range in the north of the city, finally welcomed its first guests today. The area of the shooting range is very large, covering an area of more than 800 acres, but it has not yet had time to plan and develop, so it is still a barren scene as a whole. The soil of this large area of land is very poor, and even the weeds cannot grow well, so it is impossible to grow crops at all. Luo Heng ordered people to clear out a large area close to the county seat, and then built a few thatched huts and set up a few targets, which became a simple outdoor shooting range.

On the shooting range, Chen Fang had already taken a hundred soldiers who had mastered basic shooting skills on standby. Their task today is simple: to be shooting instructors for a group of whiteboarders who have never touched a gun before. In order to compete for the qualifications of shooting instructors, the entire military camp also held a shooting competition. The contestants said in a beautiful name: all in order to show military might. In fact, in order to be able to escape a day's training, the military camp after arranging the devil's training is simply not a place for people to stay.

The general customers are handed over to the coaches for reception, while the two major customers of Lu Wenzheng and Shen Junyu are personally received by Luo Heng. In the 100-meter target area, the table racks are filled with 16 different types of long and short firearms. Luo Heng first picked up a 12mm large-caliber bolt-action rifle called the "Longbow" for the two of them to demonstrate. In addition, it is also the most expensive model in the ** type at present.

Stand according to the gun, aim and shoot, and the action is done in one go. With a "bang", the bullet hit the bull's-eye 100 meters away, and the iron target more than half an inch thick was directly pierced by the bullet. "Let's see, how powerful is this 'longbow'?" Luo Heng asked. It was the target on the left, but how did it hit the target in the middle? It must have been because of the wind. But fortunately, the publicity effect has finally been achieved.

"With such power, I'm afraid that the heavy armored cavalry will also become paper paste in front of it!" After looking closely at the bullet holes on the iron target, Lu Wenzheng was shocked, and Shen Junyu gasped.

"As long as the head is good enough, it can still take people's lives four or five miles away, and its range and rate of fire are far better than that of bows and arrows. As long as it does not affect aiming and pulling the trigger, even the old, weak, sick and disabled can play with the same power, and more importantly, it only takes half a day of training time for soldiers to take it to the battlefield ······. Luo Heng boasted to himself. Half a day of training can indeed go to the battlefield, but if anyone really dares to do this, it is estimated that the whole army will be wiped out.

"I don't know how much the divine weapon costs?" asked Lu Wenzheng. He has already made up his mind to use all his property to buy this kind of weapon, and then use this batch of weapons to find his prime minister's uncle for a thorn history, preferably this Lingzhou thorn history, so that he can use his greater power to buy more weapons from Luo Heng, and then exchange it with his uncle for a bigger official.

Shen Junyu's thoughts are basically the same as Lu Wenzheng's, both of them want to be promoted and make a fortune, the difference is that his object of courtesy is the crown prince. The father offers a beauty on the front foot, and the son enters the god soldier on the back foot, which is the icing on the cake, and it is difficult to even make great contributions and be underdeveloped.

This "longbow" is currently priced at 10,000 purple baht. Luo Heng said.

"This is too expensive, isn't it?" Shen Junyu exclaimed. In this way, the funds at his disposal will not be able to buy many "longbows" at all. What kind of noble marquis is this? is simply an unscrupulous profiteer.

"It's expensive, it's cheap. Luo Heng pointed to the little men on the weapon rack and recommended. This "old hunter" only costs 800 purple baht. He picked up a 9 mm caliber **** with an affordable price and introduced: "Of course, you get what you pay for, and its range is only about 20% of that of the "Longbow". ”

"I want this longbow. Obviously, Lu Wenzheng doesn't look down on the "old hunter" who is nearly half shorter than the "longbow". "But you've got to give me a discount on the price. 50% off, I want 10,000. Lu Wenzheng stopped and bargained.

"Nine folds. Luo Heng counteroffered.

"Six-fold. Shen Junyu bargained.

"Nine folds. Luo Heng insisted on the same.

"Seven folds. Lu Wenzheng compromised.

"Nine folds. Luo Heng still insisted.

"Eightfold. Shen Junyu compromised.

"Nine folds. Luo Heng continued to insist. Are not you two masters and rivals to each other?

"Nine folds is nine folds. In this price war, both of them lost to Luo Heng in the end.

"Shen Gongzi, how much are you going to buy?" Luo Heng asked. Sample, fight with me, you have already lost before you open your mouth. Luo Heng, who has [Mind Reading], has already seen the bottom price in their hearts, and even if they don't let the two of them pay a discount, they will still pay obediently. An ordinary soldier with a "longbow" can easily kill a high-level martial artist, and a middle-level war slave in the slave workshop costs tens of thousands of purple baht, and they can calculate this account.

However, they did not account for the bullets, and it was too late for them to say anything when they later discovered that not a single bullet could destroy an enemy. When they later found out that Luo Heng's weapon was updated faster than cutting leeks, the scolding mother could no longer calm the anger in their hearts.

"With my financial resources for the time being, I only have enough money to buy a thousand Longbow rifles. Shen Junyu's young heart has been shattered by Lu Wenzheng. He is about to give up his pants before he can make up 10 million purple baht, can he save some face for the "richest man in Yunyang"? You officials are still not people? A mouth is a deal of hundreds of millions of dollars, are you kidding me?

"It's okay, do what you can. Luo Heng's words formed a second critical blow to Shen Junyu.

"120 million purple baht, it's not a small amount, I can't take out so much cash, I can only use some family property to offset the funds, do you think it's okay?" Lu Wenzheng pulled Luo Heng to the corner and whispered. In addition to the 10,000 "Longbow" rifles, he also ordered a number of other short-range firearms and ammunition.

"Okay. What do you want to pledge?" Luo Heng asked.

"Bihai Villa, Luoying Villa, County Shoufu, Hejian Mansion, Beilin Garden, Changchun Garden, 3,000 hectares of good fields in Nanyun County, and 500 hectares of Sangtian in Sanyu Town······. Lu Wenzheng gave Luo Heng all his real estate and land in Yunyang County, with a total value of 100 million purple baht, plus 20 million purple baht in cash.

"Deal. All orders were delivered in ten batches, and all deliveries were completed within three months. Even if he only relied on the production capacity of the Yunyang General Machinery Bureau, Luo Heng was confident that he could complete his order within two months, but he still needed an extra month just in case. Seven years of county guarding, 100 million purple baht, this official deserves to be "beautiful".

"Yes. Lu Wenzheng agreed.

"Shen Gongzi, do you have any questions?" As soon as Luo Heng finished dealing with the deal with Lu Wenzheng, Shen Junyu surrounded him again.

"Lord Marquis, I will not buy the "Longbow" rifle for the time being, and will change to a different type of gun. Shen Junyu finally reacted, compared with the former county guard Lu Wenzheng, his advantage is not in the abundance of capital, but in the business network left by his father to connect with seven states and four countries. Relying on this large commercial network, he can quickly digest a huge amount of arms and make huge profits from it.

"Absolutely. Luo Heng smiled knowingly. What he valued at the beginning was the business network that Shen Junyu had taken over. This money network took decades for the Liang Dynasty to build, even Shen Guinian is only a small part of it, as long as he can access this network, his products can be quickly circulated, and with it is a steady stream of funds. With money, you can grow faster and better. In a sense, Shen Junyu can play a much greater role than Lu Wenzheng.
