As he spoke, Li Xian loaded the pistol with gunpowder and bullets, then picked it up and aimed it and shot it, hitting the red heart on the target twenty meters away at once.

"Brother Li is good marksmanship. Pan Wu applauded on the side, but he was confused in his heart.

"It's said that your marksmanship is also good, so you can try it too. Li Xian handed the gun to Pan Wu and asked him to try to fight it too.

"With my little ability, how dare I show ugliness in front of Brother Li?" Pan Wu retreated a few times, and saw that Li Xian was resolute, so he took a gun and shot it.

Pan Wu does not have the perseverance to learn martial arts, but he likes to dance knives and guns, and after he came into contact with foreign guns because of Li Xian, he also spent energy to practice marksmanship, which is much more important than martial arts that need to endure hardships.

Pan Wu shot at this time, and the accuracy was not bad, so he hit near the red heart, barely nine points.

"Good marksmanship!" This time it was Li Xian's turn to applaud, which made Pan Wu feel a little proud in his heart.

Pan Wu wanted to return the gun to Li Xian, but Li Xian didn't accept it, let him hold it anyway, and asked: "Do you think if I want to sell this gun, how much can I sell it?"

"This pistol was a good thing before the war, and it could not be bought for fifty taels of silver, and if it were on the black market, the price could have doubled.

During this period of time, there were wars everywhere, and the price of foreign guns doubled again, I think Brother Li's gun is also considered a good quality, and it is no problem to take out seventy or eighty taels of silver, and it is possible to meet someone who loves guns very much, more than one hundred taels. ”

After all, Pan Wu grew up in a merchant family, and he snapped through his mouth, and then reacted, secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and hurriedly changed his words.

"However, Brother Li's gun has a novel pattern and a peculiar shape, and it can be sold for seven or eight hundred taels of silver... It is possible to sell it for seven or eight thousand,... Up up, ten thousand taels of silver are also his..."

While speaking, Pan Wu observed Li Xian's expression, and saw that Li Xian's face was calm and unchanged, so he couldn't help but secretly complain, and reported the price of the musket to Gaoli little by little, and finally said 20,000 taels of silver, so he hesitated, and didn't know how to continue.

Li Xian's heart was actually happy, and he watched Pan Wu's performance with a smile, and finally laughed out loud and patted Pan Wu's back: "Just ask about ordinary business matters, see if you are in a hurry, and take out the set of dealing with those dog officials." ”

Pan Wu Hao Ran smiled, understanding that Li Xian did not want to knock on his own bamboo pole openly.

In fact, the situation is extremely delicate now, if you can pay 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, you can befriend Li Xian and other figures, in exchange for a promise to the Pan family, it will be beneficial and harmless to the Pan family, Pan Wu really wants to do this.

However, as soon as Pan Wu let go, Li Xian's next sentence made him almost squirt out all the overnight tea.

"I have two thousand such pistols here, and you thirteen companies have always been good at doing business, can you help me sell them all?" Li Xian asked casually.

"You want Thirteen Lines to help sell pistols?" Pan Wu couldn't help but wonder if he had heard it wrong.

"Now there is a shortage of soldiers, what is the most valuable, except for food, it is arms.

The British came to my Qing Dynasty to burn and loot, and all the rich people in the world were storing grain and hiding weapons.

In this way, I don't want much, and each of my muskets is equipped with a fine wooden box and powder bottles, belts, and twenty rounds of ammunition, and a box of pistols charges fifty taels of silver, which is the right price, right?

Your thirteen lines are the best at doing business, and it is not difficult to sell more than eighty taels at a price, and I don't want a penny for the difference in price, and all the parts that exceed fifty taels are earned by your thirteen lines, how about it?

It's very hard for you to come to me, and when you go back to talk about such a business, you can also explain to the elders in the family. Li Xian looked at Pan Wu very sincerely, with a posture of talking business, but Pan Wu didn't know how to answer.

Pan Wu talked with Li Xian again, discussed some details, and then set off to return to Guangzhou, and sat on the bamboo basket hanging down from the city, but held a box of pistols in his arms.

When he entered the city, Pan Wu did not dare to go back to his house first, but followed the officials who had been waiting at the city wall to the mansion of Yiliang, the governor of Guangdong.

Here, Yiliang to Qishan, Yang Fang, Yishan, Yu Baochun, Shen Baozhen, Song Mingda and other important figures are waiting, just waiting for him to report the results of his party to Sanyuanli.

Pan Wu didn't dare to hide it, and told the content of the conversation with Li Xian as it was, and took out the pistol, explaining Li Xian's intention to entrust the thirteen lines to sell the pistol.

The people present were all human spirits, but they were much stronger than Pan Wu, a foolish ghost, and their hearts were like mirrors, and after listening to Pan Wu's words, they understood what Li Xian meant, and they all groaned.

"Hmph, this Li Xian is so arrogant, he doesn't take my Guangzhou context martial arts in his eyes. Yiliang had the highest status, and he was still the local governor, so he immediately slapped his palm on the table in front of him.

"From this point of view, the hearts of these people in Sanyuan are ironclad, and we have to make some plans. Qi Shan said worriedly.

Pan Wu was still a little inexplicable, but his uncle Pan Shicheng quietly grabbed him and didn't let him speak, then pulled him up to salute the adults, and then retreated from the house.

These officials in Guangzhou will next discuss a plan to deal with the Sanyuanli army, and the Pan family, as businessmen, can do some errands, but this kind of military affairs cannot be involved, and it is not even possible to sit in on them.

Pan Wu followed Pan Shicheng to the outside of the mansion and got into the carriage to go home, but he still felt confused in his heart.

"Sixth uncle, how did I do this errand, how do I feel confused?" Pan Wu didn't feel it, so he asked Pan Shicheng for advice.

"You did a good job on this errand, passed on the meaning of the adults in Guangzhou to Li Xian, and brought back the meaning of Li Xian, and then it was none of your business, just see what those big officials do. Pan Shicheng knew that his nephew was just a fool, so he patiently explained to him.

"But, I don't even know what I've done, I don't understand anything?" Pan Wu couldn't help asking.

"You said that the adults here want to talk to Sanyuanli in detail, and Li Xian doesn't object, and then they will send people to talk to each other, so that the main purpose of your visit will be achieved?"

"I know that. It's just that Li Xian sent me a pistol again, and asked us to act as an agent for the pistol business in the Thirteen Lines, what does it mean?

I have banned guns for hundreds of years in the Qing Dynasty, does Li Xian really expect us to help him sell guns?"

"At this point, I can't say, I'm really going to sell a gun. Pan Shicheng said with a slight smile.

"Ah, but isn't that illegal? Besides, if you really want to sell guns, you have to do it secretly, how can you say it in front of the governor and the prefect, and then sell it with great fanfare?

Our Pan family really dares to sell guns, and those adults have to seize our Pan family as soon as possible?" Pan Wu felt that he really couldn't understand.
