"Fast and long flow?"

Sikong Zhen looked at Wang Yi, who was rude to the point of being rude. If it weren't for Wu Zetian's presence here, Sikong Zhen would have stepped forward and reached out to pinch Wang Yi's neck.

"You tell me what is a long flow of water?"

"If you can convince me today, I will spare you. If you are talking nonsense today, even if the empress is here, I must teach you a good lesson."

Wang Yi was directly threatened by Sikong Zhen, and he was not panicked.

Because Wang Yi knew that Sikong Zhen was just a bad temper, just like a thunder that was about to explode at any time.

Sikong Zhen is not a vengeful villain, nor is he a cruel person.

"Dare you ask Lord Sikong, do you think it is the merchant who sells pots making money, or the merchant who runs a restaurant making money?"

Sikong Zhen said in a silence: "Of course, people who open hotels make money. Even fools on the street should know that."

"The people who sell pots and those who run restaurants, the goods they sell are ultimately to solve the problem of eating. So why do people who sell pots make less money than those who run restaurants?"

"Because the pot doesn't break often, people like to go out for a good meal every now and then."

Wu Zetian sat aside, her beautiful big eyes lit up slightly.

She already roughly understood what Wang Yi meant.

"The reason why opening a hotel makes money is because it is long-lasting and not a one-time deal."

"We sold the weapons to Yunmeng City, but the weapons shells and the energy used by the weapons are provided by Yunmeng City themselves. This is like we sold a pot to Yunmeng City. As for what to cook in the pot in the future? This is completely up to Yunmeng City to decide."

"That's why I said, this is a one-time deal."

Sikong Zhen thought something, he nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Selling arms and weapons is completely different from opening a restaurant. If you want to flow slowly, it is not the mouth below a woman, you can have it if you want it."

After hearing Sikong Zhen’s words, Wu Zetian coughed gently.

"Sikong Aiqing, please pay attention to your attitude."

After being warned, Sikong Zhen realized.

"Empress, I have no intention of offending you!"

Wu Zetian waved his hand at Sikong Zhen and signaled Wang Yi to continue talking.

"It is actually not difficult to achieve a long and steady flow. First of all, we must ensure that Yunmeng City cannot imitate our institutional weapons."

“This is very difficult to do!”

Sikong Zhen shook his head and interrupted Wang Yi.

"Yunmeng City has many powerful Yin-Yang families. Among these Yin-Yang families, some are good at mechanical techniques. The mechanical weapons we sell to Yunmeng City are not very technical because they have low cost. After they get the physical objects, they can imitate them as long as they are willing to spend their efforts."

Sikong Zhen fell and stared at Wang Yi with his eyes.

He was waiting for Wang Yi to answer.

"I have a way to prevent Yunmeng City from spending its efforts to imitate our institutional weapons."

"What's the solution?"

Sikong Zhen asked with a hint of curiosity.

Before he knew it, Sikong Zhen had forgotten Wang Yi's identity.

His attitude of speaking has been a little bit more relaxed than before.

"Set the price of institutional weapons a little lower. If a thunder fire does not sell 500 gold coins, it will only sell 50 gold coins. When Yunmeng City saw that the cost of institutional weapons was low, they would definitely not be willing to spend a lot of effort to imitate institutional weapons."

"Because imitating the weapon of the agency is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also cost more than buying it directly."

As soon as Wang Yi finished speaking, Sikong Zhen once again said angrily: "You can make money by opening a restaurant, but you don't have to give the dish to the guests! A 50 gold coins from a mechanical weapon was sold to Yunmeng City. Do you think that Sikong Zhen is a stupid paper in Baihua Building?"

"Ahem!"

Wu Zetian coughed twice again, reminding Sikong Zhen not to make inappropriate metaphors.

"Mr. Sikong, please don't be excited, please listen to the villain finish his words."

When Sikong Zhen gradually calmed down, Wang Yi continued to say: "Take an example of a cannon cart. We can lower the price of the cannon cart and increase the price of the stone ball. As long as Yunmeng City continues to buy stone balls from our hands, we can do a long and steady flow."

"There is another advantage in this way. We can also judge whether they have engaged in high-intensity wars based on the number of stone balls they consume."

Wang Yi's last words made Wu Zetian's eyes lit up again.

"So, please ask Lord Sikong to choose a mechanism weapon again based on the consideration of long-term flow."

Sikong Zhen finally understood what Wang Yi meant.

However, he and Yu Hengsi also had difficulties.

"Empress, we cannot sell core weapons and the standard weapons we equipped to Yunmeng City. So there are really few types of machine weapons that can be selected. If the thunderbolt fire and artillery trucks are not suitable for sale, the remaining long-range weapons will be even more unsuitable for sale."

It is indeed good to have a long flow of water, but it also requires conditions to do so.

Wu Zetian naturally understood the difficulties of Sikong Zhen.

She was about to speak and decided to sell cannon trucks, but she heard Wang Yi say on the side: "The villain is very knowledgeable about the mechanism. Before entering the palace, the villain was bored and built a long-range mechanism weapon. This mechanism weapon is considered suitable for large-scale casting and then exported to Yunmeng City."

"Do you understand the mechanism?"

Sikong Zhen was a little surprised.

"If a villain doesn't understand the mechanism, what he said just now is really stupid."

When Wang Yi said this, he hugged Wu Zetian and clapped his fists.

"Since the villain raised a problem, he must help the empress solve the problem."

After Wu Zetian nodded with a smile, Wang Yi flipped his wrist and took out a pistol.

"This kind of mechanical weapon is called a pistol. The pistol fires bullets and can cause damage within a hundred steps. Within fifty steps, it is not difficult to shoot through the armor of ordinary soldiers."

"The cost of pistols is not too high, but the parts are relatively small and complicated. We sell the pistols to Yunmeng City. As long as the price is not high, they will definitely not work hard to imitate them."

"The most important thing is that the bullets of the pistol must have the same caliber and are filled with gunpowder. As long as the filled gunpowder formula is not given to Yunmeng City, it will be difficult for Yunmeng City to create qualified pistol bullets."

"According to my idea, a pistol was sold to Yunmeng City for fifty gold coins, a bullet and one gold coins."

"Suppose Yunmeng City buys five thousand pistols at a time, and one pistol consumes ten bullets per month, they will buy 50,000 bullets from us every month, and 50,000 bullets are 50,000 gold coins."

"When the battle in the Great River Basin begins in the future, they will need more bullets."
