Chapter 578: Small Cars and Ships
"They sold the warship to private individuals in private?" Zhang Zhongjun asked suddenly.
"They don't dare to go too far, the government's customized warships can't be sold out, but they can modify the appearance, and there is a difference in appearance from the government's customized warships, so they dare to sell them everywhere! ”
"Moreover, it is still a trivial matter for them to sell this kind of warship with a changed appearance to a private person, and in order to make money, it can be said that they will sell it as long as they have money, no matter where they come from! It is rumored that they once sold a 100-zhang long modified five-tooth ship to pirates! As for selling other modified warships to pirates and pirates, it is even more common!" Luo Zhengrong said in a low voice.
Zhang Zhongjun's face was full of shock: "The hundred-zhang long five-tooth ship?! This dare to be sold?! No one will catch it?" As for changing the appearance, it is simply a matter of covering one's ears and stealing the bell, and those with eyes can tell the difference between a warship and a civilian ship at a glance.
"What to catch, because the money provided every year is sufficient, and they are also rewarded by the Ministry of Industry. Luo Zhengrong said disdainfully.
"How is this?!" Zhang Zhongjun's face was full of shock, not shocked that the official shipyard dared to sell the heavy ships in the army to thieves, but shocked that the government did nothing about this matter, but was rewarded for the fact that the money from the sale of the ship could be divided?
"It's very simple, it's not the big guy in charge of the Ministry of Industry who is endangered by the thief warship, and the money doesn't go into the treasury, so why don't you commend it?!" Luo Zhengrong continued to say disdainfully.
Zhang Zhongjun continued to ask questions with a shocked face, but Luo Zhengrong didn't elaborate anymore, only said that when you stay in the officialdom for a long time, it will be natural and clear.
Here Zhang Zhongjun understands that everyone's relationship can only say these words, so he won't ask anymore.
It's just that Zhang Zhongjun's heart was shocked, when he was still a white body before, he thought that the government and gangs were equally divided in the world, and only after entering the officialdom did he know that the gang was a fart in the eyes of the government!
When he thought that the government would rely on its strength to ensure that it basically sat and watched the world, he was shocked to find that the government was actually corrupt.
Not to mention the fact that the procurement department and the traffickers colluded to dig up the country's wealth, just selling the heavy weapons of the military to the thieves will not only not be punished but will also be rewarded, the reason is that the thieves who have the heavy weapons will not harm the interests of the bigwig in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and this bigwig can also benefit from it, so I know that in fact, this Da Chen Dynasty has long not known what the chaos is like!
It's just because I have a humble position and can't get in touch with these things, so I think the world is calm!
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjun was a little anxious, when would he be able to dig out the purple treasure under the pine tree on the cliff to improve his strength!
However, I thought that I didn't need a purple-level treasure, and I only needed a random cheats to make myself break through to the bottom of my mind.
Now that I have weak power and little money, I have to sell favors if I want to find cheats, but when I start this timber business, I earn millions of silver a year, and then use my interests to win over a group of people, and after my power grows, I believe it is easy to find cheats, and I can't say that the following clever people will speculatively send a cheats!
Thinking about this, Zhang Zhongjun's time naturally passed quickly, and he was soon informed that Supervisor Bian was coming, so he naturally went out with Luo Zhengrong to greet him.
When I came to the pier, a small black shadow was already moored on the pier, because it was night, I couldn't see the detailed appearance of this black shadow, but I could still vaguely see that it was just a miniature version of the car and ship when I visited the shipyard before.
It's just that after Zhang Zhongjun boarded the ship, before he had time to feel it, he saw the two things placed in the bow and stern of the ship in the light of the torch, and went directly to Sparta. And not only that, but the people who belonged to Zhang Zhongjun's side were all stunned, unable to speak.
Zhang Zhongjun quickly checked these two things, and then shook the hand of Bian Steward who looked smug on the side with a satisfied face: "Brother Bian, brother has nothing to say, next time you must have a good drink, don't get drunk and go home!"
"Haha, Brother Xian don't need to be grateful, this is just the standard, otherwise how can it be called a warship? How dare you ask for such a big price? Brother, my other gift to Brother Xian is still in the cabin, you go in and take a look, it's all good things." Steward Bian waved his hand proudly.
There was no need for Zhang Zhongjun to make a look, Peng Quanwu, two head hunters, and two patrolmen immediately rushed into the cabin, and then they vaguely heard a burst of exclamations, and then Peng Quanwu ran out tremblingly.
Looking left and right, Peng Quanwu swallowed his saliva, leaned forward and muttered in a low voice: "My lord, there are 100 thunder fire bed crossbow arrows, 50 strong crossbows, and 500 thunder fire crossbow arrows!
Seeing Zhang Zhongjun's somewhat confused appearance, Peng Quanwu hurriedly added: "It's all money that can't be bought, and it's impossible to ration heavy weapons and arrows used outside the city guards!"
At the beginning, Zhang Zhongjun's excited appearance was really pretentious, the bed crossbow installed in the bow and stern of the ship was good, but Zhang Zhongjun couldn't get it, so he had to go to Fucheng to ask for it, and he could always get a few.
When I heard what 100 thunder fire bed crossbow arrows and 50 strong crossbows and 500 thunder fire crossbow arrows were in the cabin, I pouted even more in my heart, I had 20 strong crossbows and thousands of armor-piercing arrows, what was the big deal.
But when he heard Peng Quanwu say that he couldn't buy it with money, and it was impossible to equip it with heavy weapons and arrows for use outside the city guards, he immediately understood that these thunder fire bed crossbow arrows and thunder fire crossbow arrows should be military control materials.
Such a gift was delivered, Zhang Zhongjun didn't understand that Bian was very optimistic about his new customer, so naturally he didn't want money and threw it away.
His four subordinates guarded the hatch, and Xiao Li's leader and his subordinates began to get familiar with this ultra-small warship.
The control of the battleship is very simple, it can control the sails and rudder, plus it can be easily controlled by four people stepping on the wheel, and the position of the rudder also has a metal pipe leading to the wheel room, and the helmsman can shout to let them accelerate or slow down or even step on it backwards.
But fortunately, Xiao Li's leader and several of his subordinates know how to control the sails and rudder, otherwise they would really not be able to control this battleship.
In this dock with calm water, after walking around in the dark for a few laps, Zhang Zhongjun was not clear about the other capabilities of this ship, but he was very satisfied with the speed of this battleship.
So after checking that there was no problem, he directly handed over the silver ticket of 10,000 taels to Steward Bian, and then Hala sent Steward Bian and his party away after a while.
