Litter!

Although it is a little ugly, it is not exaggerated, the production process of this bird gun is indeed very rubbish and unsightly, even Guo Dan, a layman, can see it.

But Guo Dan said that garbage can still be understood, and Fang Fengshigui, who is the secretary of the military department, also said garbage, which is intriguing.

However, Guo Dan was silent.

Fang glanced at the time, stroked his beard and groaned for a while, and saw that Guo Danwu was silent, so he sent the bird gun to him again, and said: "If it is handed over to you to produce, can you be sure that the production is better than this?" ”

"It's just a no-brainer." Guo Dan wrote lightly.

"Good!"

Fang Fengshi said: "This official immediately went to His Majesty and asked to contract the production of bird guns to you." ”

Guo Dan was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu?" ”

Fang Caifang's words are obviously a big business opportunity, logically speaking, Guo Dan should strive for it, but he is very bland, that is, he is afraid of falling into the pit, and the production of weapons can be big or small.

I never thought that Fang Feng would play Wanli at the right time.

This made Guo Dan feel very surprised.

This performance will be folded, but it will offend many people, and the ministers of the court will definitely not agree easily, they all think that Guo Dan has earned too much.

Fang Fengshi said with a smile: "Isn't it normal for me to propose this matter from a military department scholar, why do you need to make a fuss?" ”

Guo nodded with a smile and said, "Lord Shangshu is reasonable, but Lord Shangshu should also know that the ministers of the court and the central government already have a lot of resentment against the grass people, and Lord Shang Shu threw such a big list to the grass people, is he afraid of getting into trouble?" ”

Fang Fengshi stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man is already this age, he has already lived enough, and he has nothing to fear." ”

Speaking of the back, his voice was full of sadness.

Guo Dan glanced at Fang Fengshi and asked, "Is this bird really important?" ”

Fang Feng snorted twice, suddenly sighed, took the bird gun, sat on the chair next to him, and said, "At least the old man thinks this is very important." ”

Guo Dan gave two puzzled looks.

Fang Fengshi sighed: "The population of my Ming Dynasty is dozens of times that of Mongolia, but on the battlefield, this population has not won enough advantages for us, do you know the reason for this?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head.

Fang Fengshi said: "One of the important reasons is because the Mongols are born warriors, they have been riding horses and archery since childhood, and my Central Plains people, on weekdays, are cultivated and farmed, if not after long-term training, it is difficult to have combat ability, so our army that is good at fighting is almost all on the border, because there are often wars on the border, and the army over there can get full training and experience." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the bird gun in his hand again, and said: "Compared with the bow and arrow, the bird gun is easier to use, and it can make the soldiers quickly have combat effectiveness. ”

Regarding this, Guo Dan certainly understands that this bird gun may not be more lethal than the bow and arrow now, but on the other hand, if you want to play the bow and arrow more lethal than the bird gun, you have to put in dozens of times more effort than practicing the bird gun.

This is more suitable for the Central Plains, which has a large land and abundant resources, a large population, and an agricultural civilization.

Guo Dan said curiously: "Since Lord Shangshu thinks that this bird is good, why don't you play the court in front?" ”

Fang Fengshi smiled bitterly: "In fact, it is not only the old man who sees this, but General Qi has played several times, explaining the benefits of this bird, hoping that the imperial court can equip the army on a large scale, but unfortunately... Pity... The production process is limited, and the bird guns produced are often useless, and the imperial court is more enthusiastic about producing artillery, so this bird gun has not been taken seriously. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Guo Dan and said: "If you are sure to do better, the old man will support you at all costs, the old man is now at this age, I am afraid that it is very rare to want to go to the battlefield again, and I can only do something for my Daming in this regard." ”

Guo Dan was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "I am a businessman, if there is enough profit, of course I am willing to do it next, whether I can do it well depends on what price the court can give." ”

Fang Fengshi said: "If you want the lion to open his mouth, even if the old man doesn't want this old life, he can't do it." ”

Guo Dan said: "It's reasonable." ”

"Good!"

Fang Fengshi said: "Let's make a decision." ”

"Don't." Guo Dan hurriedly raised his hands and said, "The grass people can only guarantee that as long as the price is right, the grass people will not turn away the money, but the grass people have not reached any agreement with Lord Shangshu." ”

Fang Fengshi was slightly stunned, and said unhappily: "You kid is inevitably too cautious." ”

Wow! If I were your age, I would dare to be angry, and the big deal is to prepare the crane top red first to avoid being caught in the East Factory, but the problem is that I am only twenty years old now, and a good time is waiting for me, I am tied to you, am I crazy. Guo Dan said: "There is no way, the grass people are really afraid, and they don't know how much profit there is, and the grass people can make money or not." ”

"You..."

Fang Fengshi glared at Guo Dan angrily, but he looked very helpless, and said: "The old man doesn't want you to promise anything, so the old man will ask you again, are you sure that you will do a good job of this bird." ”

"This one has."

"Yes, that's it."

Fang waved his hand.

Guo Dan saluted and said, "If there is nothing else, the grass people will retire first." ”

Fang Feng squinted at the time and snorted.

"The grass people are retiring."

After Guo Dan withdrew, Fang Fengshi hurriedly got up, walked to the door, stretched his neck, looked out of the door, and showed a wicked smile on his face: "Guo Dan, whether this can be done or not, the old man is counting on you, don't disappoint the old man!" ”

And over there, after Guo Dan left the military department, he hesitated in the imperial city for a while, suddenly changed direction and went straight to the palace.

For Wanli, even if the first assistant asks to see, if there is no urgency, he may not see him immediately, most of them are to let Zhang Cheng come forward, except for Guo Dan, as long as Guo Dan asks to see, he will generally meet immediately.

Because only Guo Dan often sent him money.

It's a hobby!

Qianqing Palace.

"Guo Dan, you are in a hurry to see me, what is the matter?" Wanli asked.

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Fang Shangshu in the Ministry of Military Affairs invited him to go to the Ministry of War to discuss the purchase and sale of armaments. ”

"I know that, too."

Saying that, Wanli's face suddenly tightened, and he said in a sullen voice: "What? Does he hold you down? ”

"That's... Not really. Guo Dan hurriedly shook his head.

Wanli asked again: "Can you make money?" ”

He cooperated with Guo Dan, and the only transaction that he had to buy and sell at a loss was this cotton armor, which made him have a shadow in his heart, and he lost it once, he threw it away, and he always lost money, so he was still a fart!

It's a matter of business.

Guo Dan said: "Back to Your Majesty, although the profit is not high, but the amount is large, it can still make money, the key is that it can also create a lot of taxes for Weihui Mansion, and the two profits together are not a lot." ”

"That's okay, that's okay."

Wanli suddenly smiled, the happiness of the fat house was so simple, and he was curious: "Then what are you doing when you see me?" ”

Guo Dan said: "In addition to this batch of armaments, Fang Shangshu also made another deal with the lowly position. ”

"What kind of deal?" Wanli was surprised.

He didn't even know about the business of the Ministry of War, what did the Ministry of War want to do?

Guo Dan immediately told Wanli what Fang Fengshi said, and he was very completely betrayed.

"Bird?"

Wanli pondered for a while and said, "Do you also think that Fang Shangshu is reasonable?" ”

"I don't know about it."

Guo Dan shook his head, and changed his words: "But I think this is really a relief for our plan to go to sea!" ”

Wanli was curious: "How do you say this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, we go to sea, and we don't have the support of the state, it's all on our own, and we are also pirates, if we want to fight for those gold mines and silver vaults, we must need a lot of weapons, and firearms in naval warfare, this power is much greater than that of land warfare, because most naval battles are air-to-air firefights."

But secretly producing weapons is a big hidden danger, because once people are detected, it can be troublesome.

But if we can win this order, we will be able to produce weapons in a grand manner, lay a solid foundation for us to go to sea in the future, and also be able to completely control the coal and iron mines in Weihui Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion and other places, which is very profitable, which is a triple win. ”

Wanli's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded straightly, to be the king of the pirates, without strength, how could it be possible, they planned to produce on the island before, but there was a problem, this raw material had to go from the mainland, which was not very convenient, and the loss was huge, thought for a while, and said: "But about the production of bird guns, this court has always been quite controversial, and most of them are opposed, many ministers think that bird guns are difficult to produce, and they are not very useful, they can only be used for auxiliaries, and it may be difficult to convince everyone when they are only playing alone." ”

Guo Dan pondered for a moment and said, "When Your Majesty was in the horse racing area, didn't you mention it several times that you want inspirational drawings?" This improvement of armor is also one of them, if His Majesty strongly admires it, it should still be able to pass, at most it will not be mass-produced. ”

Wanli nodded slightly, if he firmly supported Fang at the right time, and tried on a small scale, of course there would be no problem, he thought, if it was produced on the island, he would not be easy to control, but if the production of this weapon was in Weihui Mansion and controlled by him, then he would be able to control those pirates very well.

This is tantamount to separating weapons from people.

After careful consideration, Wanli felt that this was also a good thing for him, so he nodded and agreed.

Although Wanli agreed, Guo Dan came out of the Qianqing Palace, not only did he not have the slightest joy on his face, but he was preoccupied.

"What's wrong?"

Guo Dan blinked, recalling the conversation between Fang Cai and Wanli in his heart, and said secretly, Your Majesty also said that if Fang Fengshi only played alone, it would be difficult to convince the imperial court, it can be seen that this matter is not so simple, and Fang Fengshi, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, has no reason not to know, so why is he still .......

His eyes suddenly opened, could it be that Fang Shi wanted to borrow me to accomplish this purpose, but how could he be sure that I would go to His Majesty for this? I don't necessarily want to be so eager for this deal, or ......!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stand on end.
