The price of the gun is so expensive that the corners of the businessman's mouth twitch.

Don't look at what Wang Yue said, what kind of lieutenant Zhenshuo, his face is full of blood, to put it bluntly, this is a big and thicker Yongle fire gun.

It was much smaller than General Zhenshuo, and the barrel was shorter, and this thing was at most a smaller version of the bowl cannon.

This thing costs eleven taels of silver?

Those who have the audacity to resell weapons in the customs can only get ten taels of silver with a six-year flintlock bird gun in the sixth year of Wanli.

"Master Jun, you said that this Lieutenant Zhenshuo is so good that it is in the sky, so how is it better than a flintlock?"

Shang Jia really didn't want to come back, but there was no way, he asked the soldiers in Guihua City about the prices around him, if he sold the goods in the Jin Kingdom, he could only earn half of the money after deducting the travel expenses and supporting the accompanying soldiers.

It takes another month to go back to Shanxi, and it takes four months before and after to earn half of it, why can't he earn half of it for four months in China? If you put the money in the temple three years ago, you can earn half of it a month!

If you want to make more money, you have to go north, and if you go north, you have to have firearms.

The court is stingy, he has a caravan of thirty-three people, so he gives five guns, fortunately, the Beiyang Banner Army in Guihua City is looking for a caravan to go north to do business, as long as they are in charge of food and control, they can accompany them, that is the best guard, bring their own firearms, brave and good at fighting, follow the caravan and do not need to pay wages, but they only have eleven people, and the advice to the caravan is also to exchange the guns for some firearms, so that they have a little self-protection ability.

The Beiyang Banner Army followed the caravan out to survey and map the terrain around the trade route, for them, the farther the caravan went, the better, multiple people took care of it, the only problem was that they were afraid that the caravan would not live that long.

"Flint Birds? Did the accompanying flag army recommend this firearm to you? Come, call him out. ”

Wang Yue showed a mocking look when he heard the flint-haired bird, raised his hand and said disdainfully: "We are also characters in the Beiyang Army, let me see who is so ignorant of military common sense and forgets all the things of special training?" ”

"The flintlock bird is the finest, farthest, and most ruthless standard firearm in our army, and I also have it here, and the price is thirty taels and one strokes, but I don't recommend you to buy it, do you know?" Wang Yue said and took out an early Nanyang-made cavalry flintlock from under the counter, patted it on his hand, and said: "This pole in my hand is a gun used by cavalry in the early years, and there was no gun support at that time, it was a little shorter, you look at it, what did you find?" ”

"Its gun tube is not long in the bird gun, but it is much longer than other guns, the longer the gun tube under a certain length, the more accurate it is, the more powerful this is common sense, the world can count several strong armies, the Beiyang Army, the Oriental Army, the Nanyang Army, and the Qijia Army all regard it as a standard firearm, so it is the most prestigious firearm in the empire...... But why are the border troops reluctant to use it? ”

Wang Yue had a straight face and said: "There is a secret to this gun, within thirty steps, lower the mouth of the gun and aim where to hit it, where to aim within sixty steps, and raise the mouth of the gun within 100 steps to aim where to hit it." ”

"When it comes to precision."

Wang Yue said and turned his head and waved his hand at the many firearms on the counter: "No one in my store can compare with it, only the rifling god eye killer gun that the Beiyang Army is rarely equipped with, but there is a premise for aiming where to fight, you have to be able to aim accurately, the border army knows that their firearms training is insufficient, and the enemy is different from the rebel grass robbers and sea thieves in the south. ”

"They can't shoot accurately, do you think you can shoot accurately? Although Wang was ordered to sell firearms here, but the money earned does not belong to me, I am selling it to the imperial court, and I will give me all the money, I will definitely recommend you to buy the most expensive flintlock bird gun I have here, but it does not have my share of this money, every firearm is recorded, and the silver must be sent back to Beiyang, I only get rewarded according to the number of firearms sold, then I recommend you must be what you need most! ”

"I have to be repeat customers too, don't I? But all the guests who have bought guns from me are dead when they turn around, this is a bit rough, so what should I do if I pass the exam next year? I'm going to have to make a fortune alive for the people who bought them from me, and then come back to me next year to buy them. ”

After that, Wang Yue turned around and pointed at the flint-haired bird gun and said: "Therefore, this gun is too accurate, as long as you can't aim accurately, then it will never be accurate." ”

"This shopkeeper is also from Beiyang?"

Shang Jia felt that Wang Yue's words were very reasonable, and said, "Then what do you think we should buy?" ”

"We are not only soldiers from Beiyang, but also very proficient in all kinds of firearms, so we were sent to this Jining to sell goods, you are right to listen to my recommendation, have you ever been a soldier in your caravan and are familiar with firearms? If there is, he will be given a Franc machine-type flintlock bird gun, which is expensive, and it costs fifty taels of silver a shot, but it is equipped with six guns and sixty pieces of ammunition, and you can add another ten taels to buy six guns and sixty pieces of ammunition. ”

"Compared with the ordinary flintlock bird gun, the range is slightly shorter and the power is slightly smaller, but there is no difference to the horse bandits on the grassland who dare to run around when they can't even afford to wear iron armor.

As he spoke, Wang Yue took out a flint bird from under the counter, and held the two bolts in his hands to demonstrate: "There are two bolt valves at the tail of the bolt, pull the bolt out, see the bolt, right?" Pull it out and replace it with a new one, bolt it back and lock it on the valve, and you can continue to shoot with this action. ”

"Don't look at it expensive, it's expensive, we use a new type of customized paper medicine bag, just stuff this long paper stick into the gun, see this eye, put the medicine bag in and prick it, stir it, there is ammunition inside."

"Others who have never used firearms, choose to fight the scattered sons, two lieutenants of Zhenshuo, two scattered sons with three-eyed eyes, the more scattered the better, when they encounter more than a dozen horse bandits rushing over, they don't need the Beiyang Army to go out of the horse to paste their faces with blood, they can't afford to die, right? It's a total of eighty-six taels, if you think it's okay, I'll issue a ticket. ”

As soon as Wang Yue's voice fell, Shang Jia's face was difficult, and he said: "I will prepare eighty taels, or this military master will be cheaper, and the rest is the money to buy water and food after going out, which cannot be spent." ”

"Eighty taels? I can't be cheap, otherwise, one Franc machine flint gun, a lieutenant Zhenshuo, three scattered three-eyed firearms, eighty-two taels, or a three-eyed firecracker replaced with a scattered firecracker, then it is exactly eighty taels, the difference between these two taels, the firepower is less than sixty into six, you have to think about it again. ”

The shrewd businessman calculated that half of the profit he made in the end would also be spent in the process of buying a gun, and he would also pay for it.

He asked Wang Yue a question: "Master Jun, can the contemptible people store the goods with you?" I'll buy all the guns, and when I go back to the imperial court to transport the baggage again, and come back to buy five guns, I will store all my things with you first, and next time I go to the north to sell goods, how about it? ”

Wang Yue thought about it, isn't this the purpose of the imperial court? Let the merchants carry more baggage, even if they don't go out of the jam to do business, it doesn't matter, as long as the baggage is transported to the imperial court.

"I can promise, as long as those flag soldiers who accompany the team have no opinion, let them wait for you here."
