"Yes. Cannon. The caliber is four and a half inches, and when it hits, it is a large piece upside down. No one can resist it, even if the generals appear, I am afraid they must also die. The instructor said.

"W-what kind of weapon is this?" Zhao Laosan was so frightened that he didn't know what weapon he was holding just now.

"Muskets, artillery. You can't do that. The instructor said with a smile. Zhao Laosan nodded woodenly, if this thing was on him, Zhao Laosan felt that he would not be able to escape even if he relied on his ability to escape. Soon, within fifty paces, the bow and arrow could not penetrate such a distance at all. Only the extremely bulky crossbows could shoot through, but they were too bulky for a man to handle. And the weapons they are equipped with are far more powerful than bows and crossbows, and they are even lighter weapons.

Zhao Laosan knew very well what they were learning these things for, and he had heard about it a long time ago. The Red Turbans were to form musketeers. They learned these things, and most likely they were the first musketeers. Zhao Laosan knew this, because there were already many low-level sergeants who knew the news.

"If you want to learn this thing, just send it." Zhao Laosan felt that he should be a musketeer, because this weapon had subverted his traditional understanding.

"Yes, but it depends on the opinion of the Commander's Department, if the arsenal produces it, the probability of equipping the troops will be very large." The instructor said.

"This, this musketeer, I did it." Zhao Laosan said. However, the instructor just smiled slightly, patted the other party's shoulder and said.

The horse crosses and checks the effect of the musket fire not far away.

"If I am equipped with such a weapon, my combat effectiveness in the future will be rapidly improved." Zhang Li said.

"Well, this weapon is indeed very powerful, and we don't need to be afraid of it when it comes to cavalry charges, and the commander has recently written a pamphlet on how to deal with cavalry, and let us rehearse the Formation Formation according to the regimental level, so that their power will become very great. Against the cavalry, our advantage will be very advantageous. But. All this still depends on the speed of production of the arsenal, three brigades, it is impossible to concentrate equipment, what I know is that the arsenal can only produce more than a hundred muskets a month at most, and it will be difficult to do more. We have nine companies in one regiment, and it will take nine months, which is too long. Ma Heng seemed to be in a hurry.

"Sir, I'm sure Chief Xu will definitely solve this problem." Zhang Li said on the side.

"Well, I hope so." Ma Heng also said helplessly. They have done their best. After all, the things that are produced are not what they can do.

Ministry of Finance and Economics.

"What are you?" Jia Xu and Shang Wu looked at Wang Ming and the others who came in and asked.

"Chief Xu, we all know that you are for our good, if it is given to the officers and soldiers, we people, the situation is the same, but, the problem is, we have already followed the Red Turban Army. Exit is out of the question. Those of us who are willing to give our wealth to do banking things. Wang Ming took the lead in expressing his position.

"This." Shang Wu and Jia Xu looked at each other, because the accident came too quickly. It was almost there, and they didn't even react to it.

"Please also ask Sir Xu to fulfill us." Wang Ming and the others pleaded.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Shang Wu and Jia Xu hurriedly invited Wang Ming and his party in, this is their god of wealth, with their support, the bank's business is doing very well. It's a big deal for them.

"We are very happy and welcome to your support." Shang Wu eagerly poured water for them, tea was simply impossible. Because it's not something they can enjoy.

"Yes, banks, I'd like to hear your opinions. At present, there are many places in the base area that need banks. Shang Wu said.

"Well, we plan to set up a commercial bank, and we have decided on the name of the bank. It's called Union Bank. Wang Ming said.

"According to what Mr. Jia said, we adopt a shareholding system, and everyone pays for it, so that we can also reduce some risks, which is a great benefit to us." Wang Ming said.

"Well, very good, this is the best way, we encourage everyone to make money, but also to reduce the risk as much as possible, after all, doing business, there is risk, there is no risk business, it is not called risk, I want to know, what are your specific plans next?" Shangwu asked.

"This." The crowd looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do.

"We should follow what Mr. Jia said, take deposits and then borrow funds, but we are not clear enough about how to borrow. I also hope that Chief Xu will make it clear to us. Wang Ming said politely.

"Hmm. You were the first businessmen, enlightened landlords, to think of setting up a commercial bank. You have also done a lot of things for your hometown, and it can be said that this government can be sustained, and you have done a lot of work, for example, building factories to solve the labor and employment problems of many people. That's the biggest help for us. Shang Wu did not answer this question directly, he first had to affirm the value of the other party's existence, as well as their value status. In this way, the next topic will be smoothly developed.

"The fact that you can think of setting up a commercial bank shows that you are very business-minded. With that in mind, we can't allow your situation to fluctuate too much, and more to the detriment. Shang Wu said.

"So, I discussed with Mr. Jia, that is, to sell some of our government assets to you, such as minerals, forest resources, and some land, to expand your profitability so that you can't suffer losses, and at the same time, if necessary, we can also sell some technology patents to you, so that the profitability of your factory can be further improved." Shang Wu said.

"This, in this way, we, we admit too much." Wang Ming never thought that their investment would be able to bring such a return, they had long heard that there was a black thing called coal in Handan that could be mined, and there was a great return, iron smelting, heating, and fire, and the future demand was very large, and they could easily do this by doing this kind of business. Obviously, Shang Wu sold the government assets to say these things, which greatly surprised Wang Ming and others, who did not expect such a point at all.

"It's so critical for us. We never thought that such a thing would happen, Sir Xu, we, we really don't know what to say. Wang Ming and others said excitedly.

"Don't get excited, there are still a lot of things that our bank needs to do, I think we should give the bank more development potential, for example, how to expand the business of commercial banks, not only should invest in factories, but also in business, so that we can do bigger things." Shang Wu said.

"Banks should be able to issue currency, but the current government does not have such a large amount of currency, the number of copper coins is relatively small, and the price of gold coins is too expensive, so we use silver coins to circulate, when the silver coins circulate, carry out bill business, that is, there are bills of exchange, checks and other businesses, as long as the merchants are willing to deposit, we will deposit the money, when the time comes, they need money, we put it up to them. We can form a consortium of commercial banks that will greatly improve the communication between our banks. In this way, we will be able to expand all our business to all parts of the world in the future. "Shangwu has drawn a good blueprint, and with such a blueprint, many of their things can be carried out very well.

The right to issue silver coins was supposed to be in the hands of the national government, but the problem was that Shang Wu did not have such a large reserve, and not only that, but he could not carry out many things further, so he had to rely on the power of the merchants, because only they had so many silver coins in their hands. Another important role in the implementation of silver coins is to carry out larger-scale land monetization, that is, to monetize the land previously deposited in the Agricultural Bank, so as to make the bank's assets circulate, how to evolve such a situation, the only way is to revitalize the assets, a large amount of land is concentrated and sold to commercial banks, so that a large amount of funds can be concentrated on the side of Shangwu, and Shangwu strengthens the monetary attributes of commercial banks through business alliances, in this way, Their situation will solve such a problem.

This is an extremely complex economic operation, and there are quite a lot of interests involved, and if it is not handled well, it is very likely to cause a lot of losses, or a total collapse of the entire banking business, and this can be done. Shangwu is almost playing with a tightrope. Because if you don't get it right, it will collapse completely.

Jingshi, Luoyang, in a side hall of the North Palace. The fire burned down a third of the palace in the north palace, and the cost of rebuilding it was still considerable.

"It took a lot of money to rebuild these palaces. I can't get that much money. Emperor Han Ling looked at the chapter on the desk with worry and said.

The rebuilding of the North Palace cost a lot, and all of this required money, but the problem was that the finances of the Eastern Han Dynasty government had reached an absolute fiscal deficit. Exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, establish the Xiyuan New Army, and if the North Palace is built again, taxes must be raised to solve such a problem.

"Your Majesty, these things can be solved by raising taxes?" Zhang Rang proposed the only feasible way to say.

"It seems that this is the only way to go. Actually, I don't want to do that. Then add less. Emperor Han Ling seemed to be very benevolent and said. It seems that he is a benevolent monarch, but in fact he is not, he does not know, he has added a little on the surface, but in fact, he has added a lot, but he is originally a selfish person, a dignified Son of Heaven, actually living in a side hall, such a thing has never happened, this will degrade the reputation of the Son of Heaven, he will never endure such a thing.

Inside the Queen's Palace. The fire fox looked at the miserable Beigong Palace, shook his head helplessly, according to the original trajectory of history, maybe, it won't be long before the tax will be raised. In this way, the people of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty will be in a greater dire situation, not only these plagues, wars, hunger, famines, but also will continue to stage human tragedies in this era, how long can such things last, Firefox herself does not know, but she feels that she should find a way back for herself as soon as possible, for example, transfer these treasured cultural relics of her own, once there is a mutiny, if the action comes in, the situation will be on her own life, and the security of property poses a great threat. This kind of thing. But it does happen.

"No, I have to lay out as soon as possible, otherwise, if Dong Zhuo comes in the future, my life will not be guaranteed." Firefox muttered to himself. But the problem is that there are still many problems that she can't be sure, for example, Cao Cao was still in a state of wandering in the first half of his life, and he didn't have his own army, which could only be formed after the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo. At this time, he was only a middle-level officer, and he was still loyal to the Han family.

Liu Bei, Uncle Liu Huang, this is even more impossible. Now it is estimated that the third brother has only become a county-level official, and he is still very early to become a generation of warlords. It's just that I don't know what the person who crossed over with me has developed. Firefox thought about it carefully.

Recently, there have been a lot of strange things in Luoyang, such as glass beads, which has become a big news in the jewelry industry. Many women are proud to own a bracelet made of glass, but they don't know that this kind of thing will be bad on the street in the future. That is, bear children like Liu Wei can play and play with glass beads.

Paper is also starting to gain popularity, and there will be a lot of it, in addition to soap.

This kind of soap, which can only be used to wash clothes, is actually the first to be purchased by the upper class. The price of a small piece of soap once surpassed that of gold. Thinking about this, Firefox felt that the ancients were really losers, and they were even more losers than the losers.

It's just a piece of soap, the cost is a few dollars, maybe less than a dollar, there are no spices added to it, it's the kind of soap used to wash clothes, and it can be sold at such a price. Firefox felt that the person who crossed over with her was really rich. I just don't know what the other party wants to do, perhaps, she should contact the other party, but how to get in touch. Also, how is the other party doing? She didn't know any of that. Thinking of this, Firefox became even more anxious. Because many things have greatly exceeded her expectations.

"Hit. Hit. Finally hit. "Liu Wei, this bear child, can finally know glass marbles.
