As a Shaoxing master, accounting is the most basic ability, a mortar costs 7,500 oceans, 20 is 150,000 oceans, according to Zhang Tinglan's style of doing things, there will be a lion on the shell with a big mouth, no 200,000 can't take it, and the grenade is also a big head, Zhang Xun's soldiers also have 20,000 or 30,000 people, one person with three grenades, it will cost 100,000, which is 800,000, and another million out.

This time, Gao Xiaoshan brought a total of 3 million, which is not a small amount, Zhang Xun also specially explained that he wanted to buy machine guns and cannons to increase firepower as much as possible, but if he bought grenades and mortars, he would have more than 500,000 yuan left in his hands, and he couldn't buy anything.

And according to the convention, when you come out to buy weapons, you must have some kickbacks, according to the convention, it is considered kind to put 20% in your pocket, if you count it like this, he will not be able to sell anything.

Zhang Tinglan also saw Gao Xiaoshan's embarrassment on the side, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Gao, since it's not easy to decide for the time being, let's take a look at other things, Fengjun also sells cannons, including Japanese, Russian, and Austro-Hungarian ones, in addition, we also signed a supply agreement with the Entente countries, Fengtian specializes in producing all kinds of military supplies for the powers, a wide range of types, everything, what military uniforms, shoes and socks, kettles, lunch boxes, tents, quilts, and special military food, as long as you want, Fengtian has the ability to arm a force according to the standards of the great powers! ”

Although Zhang Tinglan's words have an element of bragging, but after two years of accumulation, Fengjun already has a certain family background, if the factories along the Middle East Road are sorted out, the three eastern provinces can almost catch up with the level of the third-rate industrial countries in Europe, of course, there is still a world of distance from the powers.

But after all, the Feng army relies on the huge China, and as long as industrialization is opened, it has an unparalleled advantage. The development potential is definitely worthy of being the first in shijie, as long as the Chinese are given a little time, catch up with the forefront of shijie, and even return to the top, there is no problem at all, Zhang Tinglan is very sure of this.

Next, Zhang Tinglan took Zhou Xiaoshan again, visited several munitions factories, and watched the canned food, sapper shovels, military uniforms and other things produced in Fengtian. These things can be exported to the great powers. There is no problem at all with Gao Xiaoshan's dirt buns, as soon as he sees these industrialized production methods, Gao Xiaoshan was directly dumbfounded, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, and her eyes were not enough at all.

A round of blows did not end. A new blow began again, and Zhang Tinglan took Zhou Xiaoshan to look at the artillery. Hundreds of artillery pieces were hoarded in the warehouse. There are Japanese 41-type mountain guns, Russian 76-mm mountain guns, and some German and Austro-Hungarian guns, all neatly placed in front of them, and the cold cannon body exudes a powerful sense of liliang.

These cannons are second-hand, of course, but for the vast majority of Chinese warlords. Even for the Beiyang government, it is already a great luck to be able to equip all artillery, after all, it does not produce itself. All points to buying from foreign countries. The great powers were ruthless and Zhang Tinglan couldn't catch up, not only did the price be extremely high, but they also had to give up all kinds of privileges, and even had to bear the hat of a traitor.

Even so, the great powers are still reluctant to sell it, because people have all kinds of restrictions on backward countries, and cannons and machine guns cannot be bought at all. But the more this is the case, the more Gao Xiaoshan feels that the Feng army is mysterious, how can they make so many cannons like a trick.

Not only can he equip himself, but he can also sell it in large quantities, I'm afraid that Premier Duan doesn't have this arrogance, the more he thinks about it, the more confused he becomes, even if he wants to break his head, Gao Xiaoshan can't get a clue. But one thing is for sure, he was completely stunned, numbed by the sophisticated equipment.

It is no wonder that the Feng army was able to defeat the Russians, snatch food from the tiger's mouth, and take back the Middle East Road, the foundation is really extremely strong, and everything he takes out attracts him, if he can buy all these things back, the combat effectiveness of the army will definitely increase exponentially.

But although the idea is good, the reality is very cruel, with his pocket, the things he can sell are too limited, even if the price is doubled, he can't buy much. Gao Xiaoshan was like a poor ghost, and his eyes were suddenly full of Manchu and Han seats, but he didn't know where to start.

wants everything, but reality tells him that he must make a trade-off, and Zhang Tinglan put forward a very considerate suggestion at this time.

"Mr. Gao, I'll make a list of the prices of all kinds of equipment and hand it to you, and then you make a decision according to the list, just let me know what to buy, and then we will negotiate the specific contract!"

When Gao Xiaoshan heard this idea, he quickly nodded and said yes, he really needed to think about it, otherwise he really didn't make up his mind.

Seeing Gao Xiaoshan who left in a hurry, Tao Jiping, who was in charge of the arsenal on the side, said to Zhang Tinglan: "Don't look at Zhang Xun occupying three provinces, compared with the three eastern provinces, it is a barren land, how much money do they have, even if they put all the weapons in front of them, I'm afraid they can't afford much!" ”

"Director Tao, do you think it's superfluous for me to lead him to see so many things?"

Tao Jiping waved his hand again and again: "I don't mean that, it's just a little incomprehensible, I estimate that they can buy some rifles at most, and then buy two cannons, and there will be no money in their pockets, so it is better to simply raise the price of the rifle to more than a hundred oceans, and slaughter a sum of money, so that they can earn more." ”

Zhang Tinglan showed a smug smile on his face: "Director Tao, if a warlord from the northwest or southwest comes over, I will definitely do what you say, but Zhang Xun is different, the three provinces he controls border us, and I deliberately let them not afford it." ”

Tao Jiping's brain was spinning desperately, but he was still a little confused about Zhang Tinglan's words.

"Rehe, Suiyuan, and Chahar are barren land in Zhang Xun's eyes, but there are a lot of mineral resources underground, and the next step is to build various factories in Fengtian, which naturally requires a large amount of raw materials, and must be started in advance. It doesn't matter if you can't afford weapons, you can exchange them for land, hand over the mine to us, and then take out millions of acres of grassland, these things are not worth a little weapon! ”

After Zhang Tinglan broke this layer of window paper, Tao Jiping woke up like a dream, no wonder Zhang Tinglan is young and can sit in a high position, people's pattern and vision are really not comparable to ordinary people, it turns out that they are not staring at the interests of money at all. Instead, it's about mineral resources and grasslands!

As long as there is a large-scale mine, there is no problem in generating tens of millions of profits, and it can also drive the development of an industry, and the income cannot be measured by money at all, compared to a few million weapons, it really doesn't matter.

As a latecomer, Zhang Tinglan knows very well that the three places controlled by Zhang Xun are Inner Mongolia in later generations, and there are indeed an astonishing number of mineral resources buried under the vast grassland, with coal, iron, rare earths and other resources, of course, rare earths are not needed now. But coal and iron were urgently needed by the Feng army.

Zhang Tinglan has already started construction of Anshan Iron and Steel, but one Anshan Iron and Steel is definitely not enough, and it is also risky to concentrate all industries in the three eastern provinces, if China and Japan confront each other. The planes are still capable of threatening most of Mukden's factories, in the spirit of not putting all their eggs in one basket. Zhang Tinglan is already looking for the next batch of steel plants.

Two of the steel mills fell into Zhang Tinglan's sight. One is the Tonghua Iron and Steel Plant in Jilin, and the other is the Baotou Iron and Steel Plant, which is closer to the border with North Korea and far less potential than Baotou, which is located in what is now Suiyuan, under the rule of Zhang Xun. Zhang Tinglan has already set his sights here.

If you want to confront the Japanese, you must have enough strategic depth, and marching to the northwest is Zhang Tinglan's set goal. It is already necessary to prepare for the enclosure movement in the northwest in advance and to take all the important resources into our own hands.

In addition, the Feng army also needs a large number of horses, not only for the development of cavalry, even infantry transportation is inseparable, especially after the Feng army is equipped with a large number of artillery, a cannon needs eight horses, ten horses to pull, no grassland is not good, this arms trade gave Zhang Tinglan a good opportunity to enclose land.

Zhang Tinglan found Lao Zhang and reported his thoughts to Lao Zhang, of course Zhang Zuolin was extremely supportive, and as an old beard, Zhang Zuolin was even more ruthless than Zhang Tinglan.

"To put it mildly, in this arms deal, it is better to learn from foreigners and see how they sell things, not only the price is extremely high, but also people have all kinds of privileges. We can also take medicine according to the prescription, the three provinces of Rehe are open to us, allow Fengtian businessmen to invest, and give tax incentives, in addition, can we also supervise their taxes to ensure that they can pay off the arrears of arms, these can be discussed! ”

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he couldn't help but give Lao Zhang a thumbs up, he is worthy of being a generation of heroes, and his learning ability is indeed amazing, and he knows how to make the most of the card of arms sales so quickly.

"Dashuai, you always think so clearly, I will leave the business to you to discuss, lest I ask for a low price and lose your old face!"

Zhang Zuolin suddenly shook his head again and again: "Absolutely not, I am a handsome man, how can I go to fight with others to talk about it, lose face, this matter will be handed over to you, as long as it is done, I will have a heavy reward!" ”

There was a hint of mystery and banter in Lao Zhang's tone, and there was a seemingly nonexistent smile on the corner of his mouth, and Zhang Tinglan suddenly had a feeling of unhappiness.

"What are you going to reward?" Zhang Tinglan asked tentatively.

"Silly boy, of course it's your life's event, Feng Zhi is pregnant, and I'm going to be a grandfather. You are older than Han Qing, you can't drag it out like this, you used to be busy and didn't have a chance, but now the foundation of Fengjun is getting more and more solid, there are not so many things to be busy with, and it's time to start a family. ”

Lao Zhang said and patted Zhang Tinglan's shoulder: "Humble words, you have worked hard in the past two years, Fengjun can have today, you have made a great contribution, this marriage must be done lively, the Zhou family is also a famous family, and it can be worthy of you." I have already asked someone to send a letter to Xu Shichang, let him come forward and be a big matchmaker for you, in just two or three months, the marriage will be done, and by next year, Fu Chen will be able to hold his grandson. I can say it in advance, whether it is a boy or a girl, I am their godfather, no one wants to rob it! ”

Lao Zhang had actually been prepared, and Zhang Tinglan could only readily agree.

On the second day, Gao Xiaoshan found Zhang Tinglan, his hair was a little scattered, and his eyes were red, and there were eye feces hanging from the corners of his eyes.

"Mr. Gao, have you figured out what you want to buy?"

Gao Xiaoshan sighed: "It's not a secret, I want to buy everything, but I am really shy in my pocket, so I can only buy 10,000 rifles, 20 mortars, plus 12 41 mountain guns, and 100,000 grenades." ”

Zhang Tinglan remained silent, calculated for a while, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gao, after buying the weapon, you'd better send some more personnel over to learn how to operate it, especially mortars, you haven't prepared them before." ”

As soon as Gao Xiaoshan heard Zhang Tinglan mention training, his eyes immediately widened, there is no doubt that this is another expense, and there is not much money he has reserved for himself.

"How much does this cost?"

"Why do you want 200,000 yuan, these experiences are all exchanged for the lives of the brothers, and they can't be taught to others in vain."

Gao Xiaoshan's face was a little green, it took 300,000 yuan to sell ten mountain cannons, and he only had about 200,000 yuan left, so did he have to hand them all over.

Zhang Tinglan didn't pay attention to him, but looked down at the list of transactions, and said casually: "In fact, we accept a variety of payment methods, not necessarily all of them use real money!" (To be continued......)
