Chapter Forty-Nine: A Sudden Order

In the forty-eight years of Yongchang, he did business, especially in the turbulent Nanhai Prefecture, and he was still doing ordnance business.

This can't be done without some strength.

These weapons are more serious in bandits or various feudal towns, and they are much more attractive than golden beauties or something.

The caravan transports ordnance across the border, just like Tang Seng washing himself white and tender and visiting the monster's lair, everyone wants to take a bite.

In order to protect themselves and make money, a commercial house like Hongxiang Commercial Bank that does ordnance business is all armed guards, and if you really want to do it, ordinary bandits really can't do these armed caravans.

Even if it is a local armed force with a smaller strength, such as a local armed force like the patrol battalion of Qingshan Town, it is basically impossible to do it, and even if it can win, it will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800.

Otherwise, why would Hongxiang Commercial Bank do business in a remote and small place like Qingshan Town!

Lin Ziran also considered black eating black, and it was because he thought about it in detail that he gave up this idea.

It's just that now I don't have any money on hand, so I can only be cheeky and drag it out for a few days.

The recent kerosene business is quite good, with a large amount of cash coming in every day, and then counting other incomes, I will be able to make up the 5,000 constant yuan after a while.

It's just that Zhou Li was also very stubborn, saying that the caravan had been out for a long time and spent a lot of money.

In the end, Lin Ziran proposed this plan, first take 2,000 Hengyuan out, and Hongxiang Commercial Bank also gave 2,000 Hengyuan of goods first to show his sincerity.

Zhou Li was also very embarrassed at this time.

To be honest, he is still very satisfied with Lin Ziran's customer, the first two transactions are very refreshing, even the price is not much bargaining, and he is happy to give money, and more importantly, he can see from Lin Ziran's actions in the past few months, this person is probably not willing to be lonely.

Otherwise, it would not have raised hundreds of troops in a small and remote place like Qingshan Town.

Many towns with an economic population far larger than Qingshan Town would not have built such a large-scale patrol camp.

With the situation in Qingshan Town, raising so many patrol battalions, it is not an exaggeration to say that the poor soldiers are redeeming their troops.

However, this is a good thing for them as ordnance dealers, who like a small feudal town like Lin Ziran.

Although they are not big in scale and influence in the world, they will go to great lengths to make money to buy ordnance and raise the army.

In the end, the place was dragged down, and these local feudal towns were finished, but they, the ordnance dealers, made a lot of money.

The successful development of such a customer as the patrol camp in Qingshan Town can be regarded as his proud performance in recent months, after all, the surrounding area of Sanyang Ferry Branch is also a remote and small place, although there are many bandits and local feudal towns, but there is no one who places a batch of orders with Lin Ziran in three days.

Delivered and not yet delivered, Lin Ziran placed four batches of orders before and after, and the total amount added up to 30,000 Hengyuan, this number is not a small number, and this number will continue to expand in the future.

If he could, he would not be willing to give up Lin Ziran as a customer.

But it is absolutely impossible to owe money or delay money, and the ghost knows when Lin Ziran will be finished.

Not to mention a small feudal town like Lin Ziran, even if it is a county that is not careful, it will quickly become Wandan.

Luohai County, where the state city is located, ranks among the best in terms of strength in terms of industry, economy, population and other aspects among the counties in Nanhai Prefecture, and even in several nearby states, Luohai County can enter the top three in a single round of counties.

However, Luohai County has changed its owners three times in ten years.

The current county guard of Luohai County didn't know what to do, and he was defeated and died by accident, let alone Lin Ziran, a small shrimp.

I saw that he was silent for a while, and then said: "It's okay to deliver part of it first!" ”

"We businessmen pay attention to a harmonious way to make money, as long as you are sincere, Lord Lin, this business can continue to be done!"

"It's just that the remaining 3,000 Hengyuan goods should be delivered as soon as possible, after all, this caravan has not stayed for a day, and it will have an extra day of money, and if it stays for a few more days, our firm will not make money on this list, I'm afraid it will lose money!"

Zhou Li said sincerely, and Lin Ziran naturally didn't want to say anything.

This Zhou Li is already enough to give him face, otherwise, the extra cost of the commercial bank's delay will be calculated in minutes.

So he said: "No problem, it will be delivered within five days, and during the stay of your caravan, I will eat and drink!" ”

Everyone carries the sedan chair, and since Zhou Li gave him face, Lin Ziran naturally reciprocated the favor.

I won't be able to get the money out for a while, but there is still no problem with eating and drinking.

"Okay, my lord!"

"Then we will go and deliver the goods of these two thousand Hengyuan first!"

The two of them talked a few words, and they went out to deliver the goods one after another.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the temporary camp of the Hongxiang Trading House, which was not inside the city, but in the courtyard of a private house outside the city.

After arriving, it was quickly time to count the number and then deliver the goods, this time the goods delivered were mainly two five-pound guns and some Fuyuan muskets.

Zhou Li pointed to a five-pound bronze cannon and said: "Although this cannon is not brand new, but my lord, take a closer look at this cannon barrel, there are not many traces of wear and tear, and the condition is ninety-nine percent new!" ”

Lin Ziran leaned over to check while listening, in order to reduce costs, and also to be able to get the goods quickly, Lin Ziran didn't care about saying that he had to get new goods.

Not to mention the high cost of new artillery, and the waiting period is relatively long, and it will take several months at every turn, so in the end, two ninety percent new five-pound field guns were purchased.

This five-pound artillery is indeed the same as Zhou Li said, the condition is very good, and there is a mark engraved on it: Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, Yongchang forty-five years.

There was originally a string of digital markers on the back, but it had been worn away, and the traces of this grinding were all new.

Looking at the grinding mark, Lin Ziran will probably be able to dismantle it, and this artillery is probably pulled directly from a certain barracks.

But these have nothing to do with Lin Ziran, and he doesn't care!

After seeing these two five-pound field guns in good condition, Lin Ziran ran went to see the muskets again.

This gun is naturally also a Fuyuan musket, the cost performance of this gun is too high, all the towns and towns in Nanhai Prefecture and even bandits love to use this thing, the output of Fuyuan Ordnance Factory is large, since the finalization and mass production twenty years ago, it is rumored that the total output has exceeded 1.5 million, there are a large number of Fuyuan muskets on the market, whether they are brand new or second-hand.

The Fuyuan musket purchased by Lin Ziran is naturally new, mainly considering that the new gun is easier to change than the old gun, and the quality is better.

Now these Fuyuan muskets are all intact and sealed in wooden boxes, and when you pry them open, you can still see the oil paper wrapped in the muskets.

After the inventory was completed, Lin Ziran took the goods away with people.

Five days later, after Lin Ziran recovered the money from Qingshan Commercial Bank, he led people to pull away the remaining goods worth 3,000 Hengyuan.

As a result, the two sides have completed this transaction, but there are still two batches of orders to come.

Lin Ziran has to continue to look for money!

It costs money to recruit and raise soldiers, and it also costs money to purchase ordnance and training, which has made Lin Ziran have been a headache for money in recent times.

Even if kerosene can now bring him tens of thousands of yuan of income every month, it still can't fill the big hole of expanding the army and raising the army.

But it's good to say that it's barely supported, and it's not completely bankrupt.

December passed so slowly, but the forty-ninth year of Yongchang had just arrived, and an order came to Qingshan Town.

With the arrival of this order, it instantly made Lin Ziran nervous.
