Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 241

As the gunfire sounded, Liu Tongyou and others looked at Li Feng who fired the gun in shock. They had only heard of it before, but they didn't expect it to make such a big noise.

Seeing the movement of the musket, the people around him continued to take a step back.

Liu Tongyou calmed down and said, "Is this the musket of the Sui Dynasty? It's so amazing. No one would have discovered such a big movement just now."

"The Yangtze River is so wide that normally you can't hear sounds from this side."

Li Feng put away the gun and secretly poured gunpowder into it when no one was around.

"Little brother, can you really get this kind of musket from the Sui army?"

"To be honest, General Liu, this time I came to Jiangling with His Highness the King of Jin of the Sui Dynasty to visit relatives. Each person in our team had a musket, and His Highness the King of Jin also ordered people to transport muskets from Daxing City to Jiangling. Assemble the Xiliang navy for the generals."

"What?! This weapon is going to the Xiliang Navy. Why haven't I heard anything about it?"

Li Feng said: "General Liu, this is the idea of ​​our Highness and Emperor Liang. It should not have been notified yet. I am in charge of the safekeeping of firearms, so I accidentally let out a few words during the conversation."

When Liu Tongyou heard this, he took it seriously: "Little brother, if you secretly sell this thing, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Afraid, why not? But when I went to Jiangling City to meet my old cousin, he said that the smuggling business they did was very profitable, so I started to think about it. This thing is now very strictly controlled. The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty It’s not even given to the troops in other places, but this time I’m willing to give it to the generals entirely because the King of Jin has the final say regarding firearms.”

"I plan to do this job, make money and run away. If I get caught, it will definitely be a death penalty. But as long as you want this thing, I will find the right time to get it. I will definitely not make so much money in this life."

"Hahahaha, little brother is brave, I like it, I like it!"

Liu Tongyou pulled Li Feng and said, "Can I try this musket?"

"You have to wait a quarter of an hour after the musket fires."

"You have to wait so long."

"If it can fire continuously, then this weapon is not too invincible. The Sui Dynasty would have fought across the river long ago."

"Hahahaha, it makes sense, it makes sense."

Liu Tongyou took advantage of the cooldown time of the musket to continue chatting with Li Feng to investigate: "Little brother, we want to buy this thing, how are you going to steal it?"

"It can't be said that I stole it. Anyway, it's just a job. I take it out when no one is paying attention. By the time they find out, I'll have already crossed the river and won't give them time to catch me. King Jin and others People would never think that I would resell muskets, and they wouldn't supervise me too strictly and inexplicably."

Li Feng made his plan very simple. This was also Yang Guang's arrangement. If the plan was made very detailed and detailed, it wouldn't look like an ordinary soldier who just made a spur-of-the-moment decision and made a plan to take advantage of the loopholes. He creates an image of taking risks.

"Little brother, why does this gun make such a loud noise?"

Li Feng began to tell Liu Tongyou: "That's it. I don't know the internal structure of this kind of gun. I can't make it, but I can use it. I can just light the rope and wait for the fire to reach here and it will bang." With a sound, the steel balls placed inside will be launched out. It seems to be using the Mohist mechanism. It is very magical. We are not even prepared to take it apart to see. We put them all away when we are not on missions. Another soldier and I Two people keep it.”

"The Mo family's mechanism technique is really magical. It's almost time. Let me try it."

Li Feng put another match rope on it, and then asked Liu Tongyou to be mentally prepared: "General Liu, I'm going to light the fire. Just hit the wood in front of you without checking the power. Be careful of the sound."

砰

Even though Liu Tongyou was mentally prepared, he was still frightened by the huge sound.

After being frightened, he became overjoyed: "Ho, ho, this sound is really extraordinary."

Several people immediately walked to the front of the wooden board. The wooden board was directly penetrated and cracked. Liu Tongyou sighed: "It's really powerful." "On the Turkic battlefield, we used this kind of musket to attack the Turkic cavalry. Shoot, the cavalrymen fled."

Liu Tongyou said enthusiastically: "How many of these muskets can you get?"

"I can't be sure now. I heard from King Jin that [-] rods may be transported from Daxing City to Daliang. It should be about this number."

"Three hundred shots."

Liu Tongyou seemed to be thinking about the scene of three hundred Xiliang navy attacking them with such firearms, and couldn't help but be a little scared. Only the enemy has such weapons but we don't. What will we do in the future?

Buy it, you must buy it.

"Little brother, I am very interested in this batch of goods of yours. You are Lao Lu's nephew. Lao Lu has been working with us for so many years. I must trust you. Please tell me a real price and we will sell this big product together." Alone did it.”

"General Liu, of course I want to do it when I come here, but this job is a fool's errand. We have to say the ugly things and the price upfront. I can't guarantee success. This matter depends on opportunity. If I have the opportunity, I will naturally take it. , I won’t take the risk if I don’t have the chance. If you want to know the price, please give me the price first.”

Liu Tongyou thought for a while and said, "Brother, what price do you think is more appropriate?"

"The musket I heard traded between Daliang and Sui Dynasty was 250 taels of silver per shot, and it was only because His Highness Prince Jin was the son-in-law of Daliang that he was willing to sell it."

Hearing the price, Liu Tongyou shook his head and said, "Little brother, we definitely can't buy it at your price. If this is based on their sales price, the price is too high. It's not good for the lion to open its mouth."

"General Liu, I'm going to pay for it with my life. How much do you want me to pay? If the money is small, I won't go."

After thinking about it again and again, Liu Tongyou said: "Let's do this, little brother, I will give you 100 taels of silver and a musket. What do you think?"

"Isn't this tricking me into committing suicide? I don't want to lower the price like this. General Liu, although I haven't read a book, but I know that selling this thing to Sui Dynasty and Liang Dynasty costs 250 taels of silver. If it is sent to Dachen, your The emperor’s bid must be higher than this.”

Seeing how generous this kid was, Liu Tongyou showed kindness and power: "Little brother, if you don't do it, you will only die."

"General Liu, don't scare me. I've been thinking about this for two days. If I hadn't risked my life, I wouldn't have dared to get on this boat. 200 taels a shot, no less."

Liu Tongyou looked at the boatman Lao Lu: "Lao Lu, we have been friends for so many years. Let's see how we handle this matter."

Lao Lu had to pretend to take Li Feng to the side to talk for a while. When he came back, Li Feng said, "Well, I'll give you 150 taels per stroke, but if I bring over 170 taels, you have to pay [-] taels per stroke." Give me."

Liu Tongyou immediately agreed: "If you bring back three hundred rods, I will give you 200 taels per rod."

"Is this true?"

"As soon as a word is spoken, it is difficult for a horse to chase."

"Okay, it's settled, but you have to give me some deposit first."

"How much do you want?"

Li Feng thought for a while and said: "1000 taels of silver."

"Okay, but you have to leave the musket in your hand to me as a weight first."

"No."

"What?! You kid can't bear to part with this thing and still wants to do business?"
