Chapter Seventy-Six: The Suspicion of Thunder and Thunder

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Li Zisheng was stunned after entering the venue, there are a lot more people in the hall today than in the past, and the representatives of the various houses of the Tie family plus the heads of important industries are almost here, it can be said that the core people gathered here now are the core people of the Tie family, at least thirty or forty people.

These upper-class figures of the Iron Family sat on the left and right sides distinctly.

The people sitting on the left side are all from the Tie family, not to mention Tie Qianyi and Tie Qianche. Although the other teenagers are not familiar with each other, they also know each other, and the Iron Thirteen Sons of Tie Qianqi are also present, and he also made a grimace with the boy

On the right are the principals of the various industries of the Tie family, although there are several Tie family members, but the majority of them are stewards with foreign surnames. Hu Kaishan Hu Da Refiner was in front, and next to him was the newly joined Master Luo Zhengyan Luo.

Strictly speaking, the Tieshan City Tiejia is actually just a branch of the Tianqimen Tiejia sect, and from an economic point of view, it is actually a branch in the form of a family.

This "company" is an economic organization that uses blood ties to coordinate the behavior of people within the clan. The advantages of this form of economic organization are high cohesion, low management costs, and strong ability to resist risks.

It can significantly reduce the management costs of internal friction caused by the competition of personnel within the clan, and thus also reduce the transaction costs and risk probability when the organization exchanges goods with the outside, so that the safety and benefits of internal members in this economic activity are greatly enhanced compared to individuals alone.

However, the shortcomings of the clan system are also obvious, because it is not an internal mechanism and is not fair competition, the exhibition of the whole system has encountered a talent bottleneck, there is no way to continue the exhibition, and because the system is rigid and unable to respond to the challenges of marketization. This is also a chronic problem of family businesses.

Therefore, in the face of the current era of Chixian Zhongzhou, the Tie family of Tieshan City, as an important force in Jingnan, has to actively or passively make adjustments. The way they adjust is actually similar to that of our world. It is to transform a family business into a family joint-stock enterprise.

The upper echelons of the Tieshan City Tie family are actually a board of directors, and the real management of the public property in the clan is the "professional manager" with a foreign surname. Compared with our world, these professional managers can be trusted, because they are actually the "slaves" of the iron family, not to mention taking advantage of the loopholes of the law to reap benefits for themselves. In fact, their life and death are in the mind of the Lord's family, and there is no danger of betrayal at all.

What's even better is that people with great ambitions, great wisdom and great abilities in Central Continent have gone to ask for immortals, and the more capable people are, the more unwilling they are to manage any family affairs. For example, Tie Wanshan himself and his two sisters-in-law. As for the clansmen who don't have the ability but want to stretch out their hands, it's good to slap it back.

In a society where strength is respected, strength is the greatest legitimacy of governance.

Therefore. Now so many people are here not just for the treasure meeting, but to take this opportunity to hold an enlarged meeting of the board of directors, and everyone sits together to discuss some important things.

The Li family's father and son came not early or late, and almost all the people who were qualified to attend the meeting had arrived, and Tie Wanshan, as the host, had not yet entered the venue to preside over the meeting.

As a result, the father and son were led to the seat on the right by the subordinates of the City Lord's Mansion. After all, they are still the foreign surnames of the Tie family.

In fact, Li Zisheng was the youngest present, and it stands to reason that according to his identity and age, he is not qualified to attend such a meeting at all, but firstly, he is a popular fried chicken in Tieshan City, and secondly, he is the real "protagonist" of the trip to Baoya, so everyone does not care.

After they sat down. didn't wait long for a roll call, Tie Wanshan, who was dressed in a black robe, walked in energetically, hula, and everyone stood up from their seats to salute him.

The Iron City Lord waved his hand calmly and said, "Everyone, please take a seat." ”

He was not a talkative person in the first place, and then there was no nonsense, and he started the proceedings directly.

Li Zisheng sat in his seat and listened to it drowsy, these things have nothing to do with him, and they are all business and personal contacts, how can you ask this kid to listen to this kind of thing.

However, he can be regarded as patient. Sitting there with eyes and nose and heart watching and pranayama secretly is regarded as a time to pass.

However, as he spoke, he talked about a problem, that is, the business of exporting firearms in the Changshan Army Workshop. This, of course, made the boy prick up his ears.

I only heard the Iron City Lord cough and asked everyone: "You have also seen the newly made Thunderbolt in the military workshop in the past few days, and the power is indeed amazing. However, this seat always felt that this thing was too lethal. It's hurtful, what do you think?"

In fact, everyone, including Tie Wanshan, thought that the firearm was just a bow and crossbow made of thunder powder in disguise. In fact, both of these are projection weapons for mortals, of course, firearms are indeed easier to use than bows and arrows, and their power is also higher, but the threat to cultivators above the innate level is not much greater than that of bows and crossbows.

Even if the fact that Li Zisheng shot Fang Tianya three times in front of everyone, everyone still regarded this result as the former with mental calculations and unintentional calculations, and the latter was careless, self-esteem, and underestimating the enemy too much, so he turned into the "gutter" of the teenager. It is very difficult to break people's fixed thinking.

So at the beginning, Li Zisheng's original Lei Gong Gong and Demon Punishment Bullet were popular, but basically only acquired cultivators flocked to these two weapons.

Even after Li Zisheng published the soft advertisement for firearms in his newspaper "The Legend of Li Shan's Demon Demon", most people just upgraded their views on this "powerful bow and crossbow" to a "mortal version" of weak magic weapons.

But when Master Luo designed the live-action rifle, things changed profoundly.

This thunderbolt, well, this is the name given by Tie Er Gongzi, it is no longer just a threat to the innate real person, but can cause fatal damage to cultivators below the qi refining level, and even the qi refining immortals, such as Tie Wanshan himself, are also a little apprehensive in the face of this thing.

Therefore, this kind of Thunderbolt has not been mass-produced, but more than a dozen have been trial-produced and sent to the Tiejia.

Basically no one has an opinion on the export of Lei Gonggong, Demon Punishment Bullet and Lianzi Quick Gun. But a firearm like the Thunderbolt is now even a question of whether it will be put into production.

In fact, even the Great City Lord of Tiewanshan was hesitant in his heart. I don't know how to face such a new thing, this person has seen the world, and I have an indescribable feeling about this thing in my heart.

He can also see it now, and if the firearm continues to be displayed, it is not only a natural person. Qi refining immortals may also be broken under bullets, and refining immortals may be injured by firearms, and even above the spirit immortals who refine gods......

Thinking of this, Tie Daren Immortal himself felt ridiculous, so he didn't think about it deeply.

But...... Is this a bad thing or a good thing?

If you want to say it's a bad thing, it's not really. As long as you put this kind of weapon on your subordinates, you don't have to be afraid even if you come to a few Qi Refining Immortals. But if you want to say a good thing, as long as he thinks of showing off his hand and shooting again, he will either be injured or killed in a fight, and as long as he uses it properly, a low-level cultivator can challenge like his own grandson, and the appearance of such a chaotic world makes him a little cold.

Now he brought it up at the meeting to brainstorm ideas. Listen to the thoughts of the people below.

It's a pity that although all of you are human spirits, you really don't have any special thoughts about this thunderbolt. Some of them even thought that now that it is a peaceful and prosperous era, it is just a matter of getting some weapons like the Lianzi Kuaijun for mortals to defend themselves, and this Thunderbolt seems to be a bit of a snake to add to the suspicion.

However, these people don't seem to want to ban firearms when they look at Tie Wanshan's face, and it is better not to be this rising bird under the unpredictable situation.

So there was silence in the room. Even Hu Kaishan lowered his head with a thoughtful look. Luo Zhengyan behind him was even more unbearable, and he wanted to say that he didn't have the courage to come out and reply.

The lord of Tieda City is dissatisfied in his heart, he just wants to listen to his opinions, and he doesn't want you to be the master of the old man.

He looked at his two sons, one meditating with his eyes closed as if it was none of his business, and the other with no expression on his face that was "cooler" than himself.

The first thing he named was his second son: "Che'er, what do you think?"

This is Lao Tzu's simple question, this is the son's answer simply, Tie Qianche stood up and bowed slightly: "One qiē but the father is in charge." ”

Ay. I'm good at everything this time, but I'm too cautious in my words and deeds.

Tie Wanshan nodded slightly and motioned for his son to sit down, then turned to Hu Kaishan and asked, "Master Hu, this musket was made by your military workshop, what do you think?

Hu Kaishan also stood up when he heard this. Hu, he hugged his fists and said: "Lao Hu, I think what the city lord said is extremely true, this thunderbolt is not only powerful, but also has a large attack range, it is indeed a sharp weapon!"

This Hu Da refiner is rough on the surface, and there are a lot of twists and turns in his heart, so he continued: "It's just ...... Because of this, this flow fell into the hands of evil people, and the poison is endless. Forgive Lao Hu for being stupid, I really can't judge. ”

Of course, the Iron Great City Lord was noncommittal on his face, but he spat in his heart and scolded the old fox. He saw that Luo Zhengyan behind Hu Kaishan seemed to have something to say, so he asked again, "Master Luo, what do you think?"

Poor Luo Zhengyan Master Luo was born as a small blacksmith, although he has now become the chief designer of the military workshop, but he has seen few big scenes, which is a bit empty in his heart.

He hurriedly stood up, thought for a long time after saluting, swallowed his saliva and said, "Villain, villain...... No comments. ”

At this time, out of the corner of Tie Wanshan's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Li Zisheng who was sitting behind, and his heart moved, so he raised his voice and called: "Sheng'er, this Lei Gonggong was originally made by you, and you come forward to talk about the Tao in it." ”

The young man had his own plan in his heart, so he didn't refuse, but stood up, flicked the sleeves of his robe and came to the Iron City Lord very calmly, he made a big salute to Tie Wanshan in a chic manner, and turned around to make a half-salute to the people in the audience.

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but cheer for him in their hearts, this Li San Gongzi is really extraordinary!

Some of those who are in charge of things with foreign surnames can't help but wonder whether to marry a child with this Li family first...... Well, the third miss seems to have taken the lead, why don't you let your daughter make a concubine for the third son? But in this case, will the third miss be unhappy, her old man's vinegar is big enough, maybe even her son-in-law will be in charge.

Of course, Li Zisheng didn't know what was going on in everyone's hearts, and he said loudly: "Grandpa Tie, uncles and uncles. The kid thinks this matter is on the verge of an arrow!"

Tie Wanshan frowned and said, "How do you say this?"

The young man replied, "Grandpa Tie, I think you also know that counterfeit firearms have appeared on the market. Since these people can imitate the Lianzi Quick Gun, then this Thunder Fast Gun is not a problem. ”

The truth is exactly what he said. As mentioned in the previous document, there is no "Patent Law" and intellectual property rights in Zhongzhou, as long as it is a good thing that can be sold, it is not just a rush to the top, and it is directly brought to the cottage.

This firearm is not "high-tech", that is, a bunch of parts made of mortal iron. As long as you have a heart, buy a few. After going back, I drew a scoop according to the gourd, and it was easy to imitate it.

Of course, they didn't dare to grab food in front of the tiger of the Tie family, but the world is very vast, where can they not sell it?

Moreover, although the Changshan Army Workshop has been repeatedly expanded, it still cannot keep up with this large amount of demand and snow-like orders. These knockoffs just fill the gap in the market.

In fact, in terms of his heart, Li Zisheng is happy to see it happen. Originally, he wanted to popularize firearms to mortals, and he didn't want to monopolize his family and iron family wealth.

The Iron City Lord nodded, this kid is right, it's useless to tangle alone.

He is also a refiner. Naturally know the principle of this firearm, compared to the magic weapon to make zuò, this firearm is as simple as children's origami, to prevent others from copying it is simply a cannibalistic dream. Although there are not many such cottages in Iron Mountain City, other firearms made by Iron Shops have already appeared in the surrounding area.

If this is the case, then even if you have scruples, others may not have them. It is better to take advantage of the current blank market opportunity. It's good to occupy it first and earn a reputation.

Tie Wanshan said appreciatively: "What a good boy." Sheng Er is right. ”

He turned his head to Hu Kaishan and said: "Master Hu, in the past few days, your workshop has been working hard to create this thing, and this thunderbolt is the highlight of my Tie family's treasure conference!"

The Iron Great City Lord stood up and announced, "This seat has decided to leave for the Falling Treasure Conference in five days!"

At the same time, three people and one bird came out of a dense forest at the junction of southern Xinjiang and Jingnan.

All three of them didn't look very good, and they all had injuries on their bodies.

The two men, one big and one small, looked like beggars, well, not even as good as ordinary beggars. The older man looked to be in his forties. The topless shirt shows off the lean upper body, and underneath is a pair of shorts, or rather a bib. He had the most wounds on his body, not only lacerations, but also knife wounds!

On his shoulder was a large black crow. The beast seemed to be calm.

The youngest one was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he didn't have much clothes on him. There were fewer wounds on his body than those of the adult, but they were also countable, and he looked miserable.

The ragged and dirty two looked like wolves.

The little girl beside them, the clothes on her body were neat and new compared to those two companions, but her face was not very good, and she looked like she was recovering from a serious illness.

These three people are naturally Li Zhaozhou, Long Changqing, Grandma Xiaobai and His Royal Highness Bo Fu.

These people can really be regarded as a great disaster and will not die will have a blessing, although they encountered a strong enemy again, but in the end they still escaped without danger.

You must know that summer is the most dangerous season in southern Xinjiang, because this place is full of all kinds of poisonous insects at this time.

For humans, large beasts of prey are far easier to deal with than these small bugs. The beasts can't beat them and still find a way to escape, but those insects are so pervasive that they can be said to be appendages.

Moreover, the toxicity of poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang is also very violent, and the red snake of Nali Mountain is known as the red chain of fire, and it is a hundred steps down, and there is at least the possibility of being rescued if humans are bitten. However, as long as you are bitten by many inconspicuous poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang, you can be poisoned to death in a few breaths.

This is also why the southern frontier in summer is the real forbidden area for human beings.

But fortunately, they have a living fossil in southern Xinjiang with them, that is, His Royal Highness Bo Fu, who claims to be an ancient god, what is long, what is guarded, and what is a prince. Under its guidance, he found a lot of herbs with special effects to repel insects and detoxify, and the two mortals, Li Zhaozhou and Long Changqing, could live until this time.

Bugs can deal with it, but there is another thing that is not so easy to deal with, and that is ...... Person.

Li Zhaozhou and Long Changqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they finally saw the rainforest in front of them, regardless of the fact that the August sun was still scorching, and they looked at the sun above their heads obsessively, knowing that it was enough to keep tears in their eyes.

They hadn't seen the sun in months!

"Your Highness, we're finally out!" Li Zhaozhou said happily to the big black crow on his shoulder.

His Royal Highness Bo Fu has always liked to pour cold water on others, and he said disdainfully: "Quack, this is not relying on the guidance of the widow? Let's leave this ghost place quickly, in case they catch up, it will not be good." ”

Li Zhaozhou didn't show a scared look, he closed his eyes, then opened his eyes and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, now that I'm out of that ghost place, my cultivation is back again, if I meet them again...... Hum. ”

The big black crow also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "Quack, the widow has forgotten about this. This is still the territory of your humans...... So what are you waiting for, hurry up and take the widow to the restaurant. Quack!"

At this time, Long Changqing came over with Grandma Xiaobai, he leaned down and bowed deeply, and said: "If it weren't for Uncle Li this time, well, and His Highness, Xiaobai and I would definitely be unable to escape!
