Chapter 681

"Oh, Mr. Zhuang is so sure?" Feng Ziying was somewhat surprised by this.

It is normal for businessmen to pursue profit, but it can be judged that the imperial army will pay more and more attention to firearms. This is a very simple truth, but in the current court, it has become a point of view that is not recognized and accepted by people.

This is mainly due to the fact that the performance of the Huomen Gun is too disappointing, not even as good as the well-trained archers. The advantage of Jurchen riding and shooting has not been weakened because Da Zhou is equipped with firearms, which has become a lot of people insist. The main reason to still use cold weapons.

"Isn't Lord Feng also of the same opinion?" Zhuang Limin responded frankly, "Look at the changes in the manufacturing process and quality of this kind of firearm, and from the original three-eyed gun to the current Lumi gun, and even the self-generated fire gun in the future. What has changed with swords, guns, bows and arrows? Although Zhuang is not talented, he also knows that it takes three to five years to train a qualified archer, and it takes more than ten years of hard work to become an excellent archer, and he also has special requirements for arm strength. requirements, and cavalrymen have even more requirements, but what about a musketeer? There are basically no requirements, as long as there are no lack of arms or legs, but it seems that this kind of person is the most important thing we lack in Dazhou..."

Cost advantage, this guy is judging from the perspective of cost, if Da Zhou wants to have an advantage over Jianzhou Jurchen, he must use this method to break the opponent's advantage, but it is hard to see that this merchant can actually have such experience.

This person can make a good friend.

"Mr. Zhuang's opinion is quite in line with my opinion." Feng Ziying smiled, "I think we can talk about the next step of cooperation now. Liaodong still needs more Lumi guns and self-generated fire guns. Since You can’t make self-generating firecrackers now, I want to know when Lao Zhuangji will be able to independently produce self-generating firecrackers?”

Zhuang Limin hesitated for a while, "My lord, do you really need self-generated firecrackers? If the quantity is not large, I can buy them for you..."

"No, I need you to do it. Even if it takes longer and the price is higher, I can accept it. Buying it from Xiyi people is not a long-term solution." Feng Ziying shook her head decisively.

"I'm afraid it will take two or three years." Seeing Feng Ziying's resolute attitude, Zhuang Limin thought it was his father's attitude, "I need to hire some special Xiyi craftsmen, this alone will be very troublesome. Song will check to see if there are any suitable ones among the Folang Robots, and if not, he will have to ask someone to go to Xiyi to hire them, which is not a small expense."

His father had just gone to Liaodong and was in charge of Jiliao, with an army of more than [-]. If he wanted to buy self-generated firecrackers, there would be thousands of them, but it was a big deal. Otherwise, Zhuang Limin would never accept it.

"I can pre-order [-] bird guns for my father, entrust Mr. Zhuang to buy them in Japan, and deliver them within half a year. I can also order another [-] Lumi guns, and deliver [-] guns a year later, and the other [-] guns within two years." Delivery, price can be negotiated.” Feng Ziying also did not hesitate, to let others work hard, they must provide enough benefits, “Maybe there will be changes in the later period, but it will only increase, not decrease.”

Zhuang Limin immediately calculated that this was an order of 12 pieces, plus more than [-] taels of silver.

"Then how many self-generated firecrackers will Mr. Feng need in the future?" Zhuang Limin thought for a while before slowly asking.

"I will ask Mr. Zhuang to buy [-] pieces for us within one year. In the next five years, Liaodong will continue to order no less than [-] pieces. But for this [-] pieces, I hope that Laozhuangji and other workshops in Foshan will come to us. Make it!" Feng Ziying said firmly.

This really shocked Zhuang Limin.

50 self-generated guns, worth at least 60 million taels of silver, plus the previous order for Lumi guns, this means that there is a big deal of more than [-] taels of silver, and the imperial court will allow themselves to eat Under this piece of fat?Can the Bureau of War and the Bureau of Gunpowder agree?

"Master Feng, your request frightened me. Do you know the attitude of the Ministry of Labor?" Zhuang Limin reminded.

"Whether we can get permission from the imperial court is our business. You won't be short of money anyway, but we also have requirements here." Feng Ziying remained calm.

"You say."

"The price can't be higher than the market price, especially after the [-] self-generated guns are expected to be manufactured by you, the price needs to be [-]% lower than the goods from Xiyi. I'm talking about the old goods from Xiyi. The new goods from the barbarians must be at least [-]% lower." Feng Ziying said word by word.

Zhuang Limin thought for a while, nodded and agreed. If he made it himself, the cost would drop a lot. The main reason is that some key items cannot be made by himself now. If he can hire some Xiyi watchmakers, he can choose some apprentices himself. Follow along and you should be fine.

"In addition, we hope that these guns, whether they are Lumi guns or self-generating guns, will have a significant improvement in the quality of iron materials and barrels, and the shooting range will be at least a bit higher than the original Lumi guns and self-generating guns. more than one,..."

This requirement is a bit difficult for others. Zhuang Limin is not sure to do it. Now it is still an imitation. It is not easy to reach a level similar to that of the Xiyi people. He has to improve further. He dare not guarantee it.

Seeing Zhuang Limin shaking his head repeatedly, Feng Ziying also sighed inwardly. He knew that he might be a little eager for success, but Zhuang Limin's cautious attitude reassured him.

"In this way, Mr. Zhuang, this clause is not a mandatory requirement, but it can be used as a supplementary requirement. If Lao Zhuangji can do this, then we can increase the original price by [-]% to [-]%!"

Feng Ziying is very clear that if the range can be increased by even 50 meters, the meaning will be very different. If the lethality of the Musket with a range of 300 meters to 400 meters is increased by 50 meters, it will be very harmful to the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry in battle. Achieving extra rounds of shooting is not something that money can buy.

Zhuang Limin thought about it and felt that there was no harm in it, so he agreed.

This kind of firearm itself must have quality requirements, especially in terms of power, if some processes can be improved, such as barrel endurance and weight, etc., to achieve the best, as long as there are no mandatory requirements and time constraints, this kind of improvement is nothing Not good, and you can get the encouragement of rising prices, which is naturally better.

The conversation went smoothly, Feng Ziying was very satisfied, and Zhuang Limin was even more happy, to be able to climb such a level of relationship, this trip to the capital was not in vain.

The status of Feng's father and son in the Great Zhou court will definitely increase in the future.

That's all for his father, Feng Tang. Governor Ji Liao is already the pinnacle for a military general. If he can stay in this position for a few more years, and then earn a title, he will be honored.

But this little Feng Xiuzhuan is not ordinary. He has the endorsement and support of several big men in the North, and he is born as a nobleman. In addition, the qualifications of the Imperial Academy mean that this person has a great possibility in the future. Knowing how to make friends, and being able to make friends with each other now, it is like Lu Buwei betting on winning others, and the rewards may be extremely rich.

Of course, this is just a general discussion, after all, it is the first time, but as long as both parties have this willingness, it means that there will be more room for cooperation in the next step, especially when both parties have their own plans.

Zhuang Limin had to leave 3000 taels of silver bills when he left as usual, which was [-]% of the old rule, but was rejected by Feng Ziying.

Zhuang Limin didn't think the other party was hypocritical, but the other party's attitude made him feel that the other party didn't seem to care about it at all, and even felt that the other party was deliberately trying to shorten the distance between the two parties, which surprised him, but also made him a little apprehensive.

As a businessman, even in Guangdong, he is considered a big family, but if he wants to get involved in the affairs of the court, he knows that his little arms and legs may be crushed in an instant.

It's just that he can't refuse under such circumstances, he can only comfort himself and play by ear, if there is really any dangerous activity, he will never board the ship.

"Crack!" The crisp and crisp sound echoed in the air, and Third Sister You was so ashamed that she hurriedly got into the brocade quilt. She was still not used to her lover's flirting with her face, so she suddenly lifted the quilt and covered her breasts. A blow to the hip made her almost jump up.

After some indulgence, Feng Ziying also calmed down. He found that he was losing his resistance to this kind of lewd life more and more. Well, hugging left and right, surrounded by fat, swallows and thin, I didn't even dare to think about it in my previous life His obscene life was actually lived so happily.

Green eyes are deep, white snow-like shoulders are exposed, like suet jade, Second Sister You is far more relaxed on the bed than Third Sister You, who seems to be bold and generous. As long as Feng Ziying wants it, Second Sister You will definitely not let go. Knowing how to disobey is far better than the young and unfamiliar Third Sister You. I don't know why this girl is still so shy after being slept with by me for so long.

After getting married, Feng Ziying's thinking is often the most agile, so he especially likes this kind of thinking while lying in the brocade quilt with his woman in his arms.

He had also inquired about Zhuang Limin's situation, and indeed he had some roots in Guangdong. It turned out that he had climbed the line of Xiao Daheng, but now that Xiao Daheng has retired, so this trip to the capital also wanted to find another backer.

However, Cantonese scholars did not have much influence in the court, so Zhuang Limin obviously wanted to make friends with his father and son with the help of this firecracker transaction, and Feng Ziying had already expected this.

Even Wang Yingxiong should be entrusted by others to find him, which Wang Yingxiong also mentioned to himself very tactfully.

Feng Ziying doesn't look down on people who come to make friends in leisure time, and now he is not willing to make friends with just anyone, which requires equal resources.

But there is no doubt that Zhuang Limin should be a good partner.

The owner of the largest iron smelting workshop in Foshan not only has an annual output of hundreds of thousands of jin of refined iron and iron products, but also operates maritime trade and domestic trade, representing an industrial and trade complex.

For Zhuang Limin, I am afraid that this production of firearms for the imperial court is not just for money, but a main means of making connections, and he can even endure some sacrifices in terms of interests.
