Soon after Lin Zhennan and Li Xian talked, Shen Baozhen, the current general judge of the Guangzhou government, came to the Fuwei Dart Bureau with a group of subordinates to personally discuss the gun ban. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shen Baozhen first affirmed the merits of the Fuwei Dart Bureau in the previous stage, expressed his appreciation for the meritorious work in eliminating vampires, and then talked about the well-being of millions of people in Guangdong, said that the proliferation of civilian guns is a threat to public security, and talked about the various laws and regulations of the imperial court, and finally hoped that the Fuwei Dart Bureau could stand up and set an example in the matter of banning guns.

The words were fluent and brilliant, which made the audience nod frequently, thinking that the current level of young officials is really extraordinary.

Lin Zhennan, on behalf of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, made an impassioned statement about his determination to maintain law and order in Guangdong, and his support for the gun ban turned to the end of the conversation, but he talked about the threat of vampires and the suffering experienced by people everywhere in this vampire turmoil.

After some discussion, the two sides decided that after the vampire turmoil ended, the Fuwei Dart Bureau could only hold a maximum of ten firearms, but considering the actual situation of fighting the vampires, the Dart Bureau was currently allowed to keep some of the firearms, but also hand over some guns for Lord Shen to take back.

Lin Zhennan immediately handed over fifty guns so that Shen Baozhen could bring them back and give an explanation to the top and bottom.

Shen Baozhen counted it carefully, and felt that this amount was not small, so he nodded with satisfaction, which was regarded as a recognition of the sincerity of the Fuwei Dart Bureau.

Li Xian saw it clearly from the side, the guns handed over by Lin Zhennan looked shiny, but the chambers were worn, the bolts were destroyed, and many of them were arquebuses that were built in an unknown age, but they were cheap goods that Martin and Grumman and others had not been able to sell, and finally disposed of for less than a piece of silver.

However, Shen Baozhen didn't know how to use guns, and the guns collected by the Eastern and Western Imperial Court were actually three or four points stronger, so he went back with these things satisfied.

After that, Li Xian also began to prepare to return to Yaluo Bay, so he sorted out his belongings first.

Li Xian's money is still quite a lot, originally there were 5,000 taels of silver obtained by selling 2,000 grains of Baicao Jingyuan Dan, and later he bought guns and books or something, spending about 2,000 taels of silver, and there were still 3,000 taels of silver left, worth 45,600 yuan.

Li Xian had previously written to the shopkeepers of his soap workshop, took out all the soaps in stock, operated them for the people of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, and sold them to the big families in Guangzhou through the Fuwei Dart Bureau.

Taking advantage of the vampire's panic, the soaps were sold out immediately, and they were sold for two dollars a piece, which was more than double the original price.

That's it, it's still in short supply, and many big families can't buy it with money, and they don't want to go back empty-handed, so they just leave the money and agree that the soap that comes over next time will be given priority to them.

Li Xian was inspired, and specially developed a new series of soaps to ward off evil spirits, that is, to use a special soap mold, to print words on both sides of the soap, on one side to write the word Fuwei, on the other side to write the word to ward off evil spirits, but also to make gifts and business clothes, ordinary clothes and the like, the price is much more expensive than ordinary soap, it is still a big seller, but let Li Xian earn a lot of money.

The Fuwei Dart Bureau sells evil pills and silver sword weapons, and its income is no less than that of Li Xian, but both sides are constrained by production capacity, and they are always in an embarrassing situation of having no goods to sell.

The money from the sale of these goods was firmly grasped by Li Xian, and he only sent back a few hundred taels of silver to the workshop managers of the Mixed Yuan Temple, so that they could expand their production.

In this way, Li Xian had seven thousand taels of silver available in his hand, so he simply sold another thousand Hundred Herb Essence Yuan Dan to make up enough for ten thousand taels of silver.

There were frequent battles in the martial arts, and the big families in Guangzhou also focused on hoarding pills, and the price of Baicao Jingyuan Dan rose sharply, and the exchange price reached a historical high price of three taels of silver per pill.

With this money, Li Xian went around the major foreign companies and bought a large number of scientific and technological books, he is now the leader of the vampire hunting team, and his reputation is not small, even many people among the foreigners know him, and it is much easier to buy and sell some things than before.

In addition, Li Xian also bought two boats, one with a displacement of more than 50 tons and the other with a displacement of more than 100 tons, both of which were particularly strong and fast Chinese-style sailing ships.

Martin also brought a few whale cannons for Li Xian, and Li Xian found a place to test fire a few times, and then picked out six or seven good ones from them, and prepared to pick two to be installed in the bow of the sailboat, and put the other few in the storeroom as a backup.

However, the whaling cannons that Martin got were too new, and Li Xian suspected that Martin had found a blacksmith to build them himself, but he didn't say anything about it.

Having said that, the range of such a thing as a whale cannon is only fifty or sixty meters, and the shooting drawings can be found in all kinds of books, and it is very easy to imitate, if it weren't for the fact that he was too busy during this time to take care of these, Li Xian himself could find a smart blacksmith to imitate it.

The price of ships in this era, like the British ocean-going merchant ships, was about 30 US dollars per ton of displacement, which means that the price of 1,000 tons of ocean-going merchant ships was about 30,000 silver dollars.

However, Chinese ships are much cheaper, with a displacement of about fifteen silver dollars per ton, and even less than eight silver dollars per ton.

These two Chinese-style hard sailing ships cost Li Xian 23,400 silver dollars, which were cheap and good.

After these two ships were in hand, Li Xian also found a shipyard and made some changes, such as transforming the bow to be more prominent, so that the firing range could be wider after installing the whale cannon, which was actually not difficult.

In addition, Li Xian also secretly instructed the people in the shipyard to renovate the internal structure of the ship, focusing on adding a lot of hidden compartments and secret warehouses where things can be hidden.

Many people buy ships and run merchants, and they have to bring some private goods, the shipyard understands this practice very well, and is also very familiar with this kind of business, and does it quietly.

Li Xian originally had the intention to buy a foreign soft sailing ship, but this thing was relatively out of stock, and it was troublesome to get a ship license, thinking that the Chinese sailing ship did not consume much manpower, and the speed was not slow, so it should be no problem to use it for offshore whaling in the early stage, and Li Xian could only give up.

When Li Xian bought the guns worth 4,800 silver dollars from Martin, he originally said that he would divide half of them equally with the Lin family, but later formed a musket team to deal with the vampires together, so he entrusted the muskets to the people of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, and never mentioned leasing them.

The Lin family was naturally very grateful for this, and later after forming a musket team, they instructed their children to obey the command and not bully Li Xian as an outsider.

In short, with a little money, he can improve his voice in the musket team, and Li Xian feels that this business is doing well.

When he returned to Yaluo Bay this time, he happened to encounter the government's ban on guns, and the Lin family had also established good contacts with black market arms dealers such as Martin and Grumman during this time, and they could buy them at any time, so they withdrew half of the firearms belonging to Li Xian and gave them to him, so that he could bring them back to Yaluo Bay to establish his own power.

Li Xian himself spent money to buy some ordnance, supplemented with various rifled guns and smoothbore guns, and a lot of gunpowder, which was enough to form a team of more than 100 people and load them into the ship.

In order to express their gratitude to Li Xian, the Lin family gave away a lot of things, including a lot of martial arts and secret recipes, as well as some cultivation pills, spiritual materials, and secret medicines that were difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

After all, it is a martial arts family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are still some heritages.

Speaking of which, Li Xian also has a lot of cultivation resources in his hands.

Originally, he sold the monkey wine to Sanyuanguan, and in the end, what was the reward for killing the white armor soldiers, and when he first arrived at the Fuwei Dart Bureau, he had more than 5,000 Herb Essence Yuan Dan on his body.
