Chapter 121 Oil and salt do not enter
Sell some flintlock rifle?
The four of them looked at each other. The gun that did not need to be ignited was good, but the problem was that the trench army did not pay attention to muskets, and the status of muskets was far less than that of bows and arrows. What they really wanted was wooden box thunder and concentrated sulfuric acid, as well as methods to increase the range of guns and cannons.
Gao Yigong said unhappily: "Commander Li, you are talking about your elder brother-in-law. Is this your attitude towards your elder brother-in-law? Isn't it too sincere?"
Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, brothers are clear about the calculations, not to mention that you are just my brother-in-law. Before I met you, I told Huimei and Huiying that if a dynasty wants long-term stability, profit must be the first. I betray my skills to Li Chuang. What benefits can I get? Even if it is beneficial, it is a small profit, but it has cultivated a great enemy and my brain is not broken yet."
“Oh ~~”
Gao Yigong sighed: "Commander Li, King Chuang was really sorry for you back then. After you left, King Chuang originally wanted to get together and parted, but he was a little weak and believed Niu Jinxing's slander and did something wrong. In fact, King Chuang often blamed himself. Before I came, King Chuang repeatedly told me to persuade you as much as possible. King Chuang would definitely regard you as a brother. If you still resent King Chuang, I apologize to you on his behalf."
As he said that, he stood up and bowed to Li Xin solemnly.
"Brother-in-law, can you really represent Li Chuang?"
As Gao Yigong thought, he lowered his posture, and Li Xin followed the way he did the world, laughed and exposed the grudges, and then it was easy to talk about it, but Li Xin did not move at all and just asked coldly, which was completely beyond his expectations, and he also realized that Li Xin was a guy who did not play according to common sense.
Gao Yigong couldn't help but smile bitterly. Naturally, he could not represent Li Zicheng. In fact, Li Zicheng did not ask him to do this or that. He wanted to get Li Xin's things. On the one hand, it was indeed of great help to the crusade army. On the other hand, it was unable to take Gao Guiying and his daughter away. He felt ashamed of Li Zicheng and redeem his sins.
But from the moment, Li Xin is not in the process of making money, and pure profit is the first.
Shaking his head, Gao Yigong said: "I was also one of the participants in the siege of you at the top of Zhulian Mountain. Thanks to Commander Li's disregard, Gao was extremely grateful. Some words should not be said again, but I still have to fight for them. Today, the court still has an advantage, so I think that all the rebels should temporarily abandon the rift and work together. After pulling Chongzhen off the dragon throne, it is not too late to fight for the male and female."
Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother-in-law's words are wrong. We must figure out who is a friend and who is an enemy. The definition of a friend is broad, and it's better not to mention it. But as far as the enemy is concerned, the Mingting has been in a state of dimness and collapse sooner or later. So I don't think Chongzhen is a great enemy, and the enemy can only be the Eastern Barbarians. This is also an important reason why I suggested that Li Chuang occupy Nanyang in Dengzhou and stop the army with the court. After all, fighting Yi in the same room will only make it cheaper for outsiders. Do my brother-in-law agree?"
Gao Yigong argued: "The Eastern Barbarians only transformed into foreign barbarians, and they could not become a clique. In the future, the King of Chuang will be able to gain power, and the people will support them, and the world will be unified. The King of Chuang (King Han is a despicable title to the Khan King. Mingting does not recognize the establishment of Nurhaci, so Huang Taiji is called Lao Han King) and he did not dare to enter the pass again. Maybe the King of Chuang will send an edict to the Eastern Barbarians to make an edict!"
“Haha~~”
Li Xin laughed and said, "You are too optimistic. I just ask one question: The rebel army faces the Ming army, more defeats are more than wins, while the Ming army faces the Donglu, there is almost no sign of victory, so why don't you take the Donglu seriously?"
"this……"
Gao Yigong was speechless and could not refute it, but the problem was that the army of the riots did not think that the Donglu was a great enemy. This did not require a reason. He looked down on the Donglu just because of his origin. In their eyes, the Donglu was like a thief. The owner was in trouble. The thief took advantage of the situation and came in to steal things. Once the owner became strong, the thief naturally did not dare to come to the door.
After a while, Gao Yigong snorted: "The Eastern Barbarians came from the bitter and cold place outside the pass, and only tens of thousands of people can make what climate can they achieve?"
Li Xin shook his finger: "Brother-in-law, you are wrong. The Eight Banners of Manchu, Han and Mongolian in the East have a total of 200,000 troops, and they are in the period of rising national strength. Moreover, the Eastern Barbarians fight and those who retreat will be killed. Therefore, they will either be wiped out or win a great victory. Are you afraid of such an army?
You don’t have to answer me. With my current strength, there is no chance of winning in fighting the Donglu, so why can’t the Donglu become a climate? If you simply look at the Donglu with the debate between Chinese and foreigners, then I can only say that you overestimate the moral integrity of the Ming Dynasty bureaucrats.”
Gao Yigong waved his hand: "I'm going too far. Let's talk about the matter of Donglu in the future. I just hope you can show sincerity."
Li Xin said: "Since I'm talking to you today, I'm talking to you with sincerity. I've said everything I should say. Except for the flintlock, it's impossible to trade with you again. Of course, if you have the ability to do it by other means, please give it a try. If it fails, I won't show mercy."
"you……"
Gao Yigong was very angry, but he knew there was nothing he could do, so he could only suppress his anger and asked: "Flintlock rifle is just a flintlock rifle, how much is a silver?"
"One hundred taels!"
Li Xin said lightly.
“Hahahaha~~”
Gao Yigong laughed in anger: "Can a broken gun be worth 100 taels of silver? Commander Li, are you too cruel?"
Li Xin smiled and said, "On a rainy day, the bow and arrow cannot be used, the fuse cannot be lit. If you have a flintlock gun, you can hit him, but he can't hit you. Do you think it's worth it?"
"Okay, then I'll buy ten!"
Gao Yigong felt that there was no need to argue with Li Xin, so he planned to buy a few of them and let the craftsmen in the army dismantle and imitate them. Over the years, the craftsmen in the army had already reached a considerable scale.
Li Xin shook his head, "One thousand sells start."
"You... don't overdo it!"
Gao Yigong couldn't help but get angry!
Li Xin is not stupid either. The structure of the flintlock rifle is not complicated. The key lies in the springs. But if you take a step back, springs made of ductile iron can be used, which is nothing more than poor quality. Therefore, this transaction is highly likely to be a one-time transaction. It is better not to sell it if you only sell ten pieces.
"Brother-in-law, otherwise he would go back and discuss with Li Chuang first. If he wants to buy it, he can just come with the money."
Li Xin stood up, obviously trying to send off guests.
"snort!"
Gao Yigong snorted: "You are really dark enough. You keep saying goodbye to your relatives, but the abacus is clamoring. When your relatives are really poor for eight lifetimes, forget it, you don't really treat me as a relative, but Commander Li, if you are sorry for my sister in the future, I will never let you go, let's go!" As he said that, he walked out with a stern face.
Indeed, Li Xin didn’t get any benefits at all, so he was depressed enough.
Huiying, Huimei and Zhang Nai left the seat one after another. Huiying couldn't help but look back. She was wondering, if Li Xin tried to keep her, should she stay?
Damn, this surname Gao is so crazy!"
The four people's backs just disappeared, Erju said angrily.
"Hey, it's my brother-in-law at least. It's nothing to say to him, so let's leave!"
Chapter completed!
