Chapter 22: Arms Exports

"Your Majesty, these ordnance are divine weapons, Xiao Wang saw it, and he was really fascinated, but I don't know if I can buy it? The price and other things are easy to say! Although Li Yuhao understood that since His Majesty the Emperor could take him to see it, he was planning to sell it, but as soon as the words came out at this moment, he couldn't help but feel his heartbeat accelerate violently.

Zhu Cihong squinted his eyes and didn't answer directly: "Do you do business, let me introduce you to it." Zhao Qing's family, your business has come to the door. ”

Zhao Zhenhui can certainly be the R&D person in charge of the Jingshi Ordnance Workshop, and if he can do this, naturally in addition to R&D, his business acumen is also shrewd.

At this moment, seeing Li Yuhao coming up with a standard Kaizi appearance, he naturally called friends and warmly welcomed Li Yuhao inside.

Not long after, Li Yuhao and Zhao Zhenhui saw Zhu Cihong again in the spring breeze.

At this time, Cui Mingji and Yao Yu also arrived at the Jingshi Ordnance Workshop at some point.

Zhu Cihong's interest in Cui Mingji seems to be deeper than Li Yuhao, and when he saw Cui Mingji at this moment, he pulled Cui Mingji to talk a lot.

"I've heard stories about North Korea before, and I'm especially interested in Cui Qing's family. Cui Qingjia, how did you make the choice to surrender when the crowd was shouting to meet the battle? Zhu Cihong looked at Cui Mingji with interest.

Cui Mingji is not young, and now he is already sixty years old. The three dynasties of Seonjo, Gwanghaejun, and Injo can be called the elders of the three dynasties. In North Korean politics, he belongs to the Westerners' Party. Because of his meritorious service in Renzu anyway, he was reused, and he was crowned the king of the city government.

Later, the official system led the government, and it can be said that he was a powerful minister in the court.

It's just that when the propylene broke out indiscriminately. The whole country in North Korea was indignant, and the voice of the war of resistance in the country was the mainstream. It's just that North Korea is weak and has a humble military, and in the face of the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, it was easy to be killed in Seoul.

In the face of the arrival of the army, there are still many voices of the main battle in North Korea at this moment.

But at this time, Cui Mingji stood up and chose to surrender.

"Without him, the Jiannu soldiers are coming to the city, and there is still a glimmer of hope for surrender when they protect the country. If he resists stubbornly, he can't even burn the jade, at most he can only let Jiannu delay for a few more days, which is useless. For this reason, the minister chose to surrender. Cui Mingji recalled, his face was not very good-looking.

"Aren't you afraid of being scolded by future generations, saying that you are a traitor for the rest of your life?" Zhu Cihong said.

Cui Mingji smiled bitterly: "Don't be afraid, of course it's fake." But in life, you always have to do something to be worthy of yourself and have not come in vain. The minister understands that what the minister is doing is right and is used for the country, so it is enough for the minister to be at ease. ”

"Haven't you ever thought about simply being a bad person?" Zhu Cihong said again: "Lin Qingye's matter, you could have not interfered. ”

"Don't forget the original intention, you have to die well. At this time, the minister has always remembered a sentence in his heart. Cui Mingji said.

Zhu Cihong sent the handle on the pie seat and slowly bowed his head: "A good one doesn't forget his original intention, a good one doesn't forget his original intention." ”

At this time, Yao Yu also walked out with Li Yuhao.

Along the way, the two of them talked carefully and told what they had discussed with the Jingshi Ordnance Workshop. When Li Yuhao said that a bayonet was ten taels of silver and a fire gun was one hundred and thirty taels of silver, Yao Yu couldn't help but turn green all of a sudden.

This price is really not cheap.

You must know that the information that Yao Yu obtained from private sources showed that the Ming army only needed five taels of silver to buy a bayonet, and a firearm with a scope only cost one hundred taels of silver.

As for the cost, that's obviously lower.

But right now, just some export versions are bought at this price, which really makes Yao Yu feel painful.

Yao Yu looked at the excited look on Li Yuhao's face, but he couldn't help but say it. Of course, he understands the priority, and being able to buy arms here in Daming this time is already the biggest victory. As for the price-performance ratio, that's really the last thing to consider.

Thinking like this, Yao Yu's heart relaxed a little.

At the same time, seeing Li Yuhao coming back, Cui Mingji asked in a low voice, "How much arms did the prince buy?" ”

"10,000 long knives, 5,000 spears, 9,000 pairs of armor, 5,000 Zhongxing 1 rifles, 20,000 bayonets, and 36 large and small artillery. For this reason, I also plan to buy another clipper, a fortune boat. In this regard, Master Zhao also agreed to introduce me to colleagues from Nanjing Longjiang Shipyard. That's good news, good news! Li Yuhao said excitedly.

Zhu Cihong smiled and watched Cui Mingji and Yao Yu's faces change color together, regardless of Li Hao's elation, Cui Mingji immediately suppressed his surprise and said: "Shizi! But where do we have so much money to buy? ”

Yao Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't have enough qualifications to dare to say that.

After all, Cui Mingji is a three-super veteran and a core think tank, and he understands how much silver Li Yuhao has in his hands. When he said it at this moment, he immediately pointed out the core problem.

That's right, the North Koreans are not poor. Lin Qingye can also do it if he rewears the armor that has been retired from Liaodong Town.

But the most critical point is that Li Yuhao does not have so much money.

Lin Qingye's troops and horses used the money in the hands of the Korean treasury, which was Li Kangzong's money.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Li Yuhao regained his composure and understood that he was not qualified to be an overlord.

Fang Cai's excited mood from the powerful weapon and powerful ambition slowly advanced at this moment, and an extremely embarrassing atmosphere lingered on the field.

If you don't have money to charge a big guy, and you run into an unkind shop, it's not only to pick up a broom to drive people away, but also to raise your fists and beat people.

At this moment, Gu Yanwu on the side walked over slowly, but as if he had never heard it, he looked at Li Yuhao with a smile and said, "Lord Fenglin, I don't know how the soldiers who practiced ordnance just now feel about it?" ”

"Elite soldiers and strong generals, Xiao Wang admires. Who is this? Li Yuhao only thought that this was a kind person who came over to break the silence and embarrassment, and hurriedly got up and asked.

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "This is the famous generation of talents in Jiangnan back then, and now Gu Yanwu, the military advisor of the Privy Council Training Department." ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Gu Jiang, I really admired him for a long time." Li Yuhao looked at the visitor carefully, and his heart was warm.

Gu Yanwu responded with a smile, but he looked up to Li Yuhao. Obviously, this Joseon prince did his homework in a very meticulous way. Gu Yanwu's original name was Gu Jiang, and he changed his name to Gu Yanwu after following Zhu Cihong.

Li Yuhao can know Gu Yanwu's original name, and that sentence of long-admiring the name is not really pure politeness.
