Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Three: The Pen of God (Monthly Pass)

One Chen Kaizhi stared at Zhang Chang and then said, "I defend the city by artillery and muskets. If the envoy doesn't believe it, I can ask His Highness the King of Jibei. I think he has a very deep memory of this. Now, Yan and Chen are harmonious, and Northern Yan are suffering from Japanese pirates. Sooner or later, Northern Yan will fight against Japanese pirates in the east. The Yan and Chen are just brothers fighting against each other, but the Japanese pirates are the real big trouble. The so-called brothers fighting against the wall and defending their insults outside, not to mention, you Yan people and the Hu people are constrained. If you trade in Jibei, would I be willing to sell these muskets and cannons? At that time, the Yan army fought in the east and hunting in the north, wouldn't there be one more

A powerful weapon. Of course, Mr. Chen also knows that Lord Zhang will definitely not be able to make the decision. You will report to Your Majesty of the Great Yan Emperor. At that time, the King of Jibei and the generals of the Jinbei Yan Army will sooner or later return their glasses. At that time, you will know how powerful this firearm is. Well, you and I will say that all of you have to say is that I am an enemy of your country because I am the royal family of Dachen and the son of Emperor Taizu Gao. This land of dragon success is in your hands. How can I ignore such a great national humiliation? Now, since the three prefectures of Jibei have returned to Dachen, you and I have no deep hatred. Lord Zhang, see you!"

As he said, this time it was no longer him pulling Zhang Chang and turning around and leaving. Instead, Zhang Chang was stunned for a moment and wanted to continue asking clearly, but he saw that Chen Kaizhi had gone far away.

Judging from many reports, in that battle to defend the city, many places mentioned the matter about firearms, which made Zhang Chang feel suspicious.

Chen Kaizhi is so generous that he dares to sell this firearm to Dayan? If this firearm is really sharp, wouldn’t it be more wings to Dayan? But... he just wants the benefits of trading with each other? Or, he really hopes that Dayan will resist Japanese pirates and Hu people?

Countless thoughts instantly poured into Zhang Chang's heart, but Chen Kaizhi gave him a very deep bad impression. He was very cautious about Chen Kaizhi, but... at least for now, it seems that he needs to think about this matter well and have to communicate with His Majesty the Emperor.

On the other end, Chen Kaizhi had a wind under his feet and had already left the palace in a blink of an eye.

At this time, he was just as eager to return home, and rode on his horse and hurried back to Feiyu Peak.

When he arrived at the study in Shangyu Village, he saw Xun Ya teaching Fang Qin's Nvhong in the hall, and Fang Qin seemed very impatient. When he heard the steps, he immediately raised his eyes and saw that Chen Kaizhi was back, and he was very happy.

Fang Qin hurriedly said, "Senior brother, senior brother, save... save me..."

Save you, Chen Kaizhi is so anxious to come back. One of the reasons is that he knows that there is a woman waiting for him to come back in this family. She hasn't seen him for many days. She wanted to have a good conversation with Xun Ya, but who knew that this follower was there too.

So he said to Fang Qin: "Okay, you can make me a bowl of sauce, it costs half a pound, no more or less, and there is still seven years of old sauce, and the year cannot be wrong."

After hearing this, Fang Qin looked at Chen Kaizhi with a little displeasure and frowned in confusion.

"Just tell someone else to go, what are you asking me to do?"

As she said that, she seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Chen Kaizhi.

"Senior brother, senior brother, are you back? Come quickly and sit down, what's going on? What about my father's business? What about your business? I heard that Beijing is talking about good news. Senior brother, I admire you so much."

Chen Kaizhi was really tired when he was on the way, so he sat down without thinking too much. When Fang Qin said he was admiring him, Chen Kaizhi felt a little cold in his heart. Perhaps it was because of the big psychological shadow, because he remembered that his uncle, my master, also said he admired him very much, and so on. Most of the time, there were messy people who inexplicably fell into the pit.

Chen Kaizhi and Xun Ya looked at each other, and Xun Ya shook her head helplessly, meaning that at this time you are afraid that you will not be able to drive away this little girl.

I guess she will be so excited that she will tell you how many days and nights.

Chen Kaizhi sighed in his heart, and tried every means to find reasons to drive her away. It would be better to express his feelings directly. So Chen Kaizhi said with a serious face: "Fang Qin, you go out to play first, I have something to do."

"I'm talking about serious business." Fang Qin looked straight at Chen Kaizhi with a pair of watery eyes and said seriously: "A few days ago, I checked my father's account. My father's account was more than 2,000 taels of silver. What was recorded in the account was the loss..."

Chen Kaizhi touched his forehead and said, "This is indeed a loss. There will be losses in the process of transporting gold and silver. Don't you know this?"

"Okay, okay, there is no intention of suspicion of senior brother." Fang Qin's eyes smiled into crescent moon, but the next moment, she asked Chen Kaizhi with a serious look on her face: "What are the serious things that senior brother wants to talk about?"

Chen Kaizhi thought about it and simply ignored her. He wanted to gather with Xun Ya, but he really had something to say.

So he looked at Xun Ya and said seriously: "Ya'er, after some more days, most of the transactions in Jinling will be moved to Jibei Prefecture."

Xun Ya was stunned and looked at Chen Kaizhi in surprise: "Jibei? It's not lively there, and... isn't Jibei a border town? It's now recovered by my Dachen." She was both surprised and surprised.

Chen Kaizhi nodded: "Yes, now the court intends to order me to be the governor of Jibei. This is good. With this, I have roots. So, in the future, you can move to Jibei. Jibei is near the sea and Shandong, and there are salt fields. Then we dry salt ourselves. In fact, you don't have to worry about this fine salt business. By relying on the place of origin, we can reduce the cost a lot. Think of a way for our husband. At that time, there is no need to rely on salt to attract it anymore. Of course, the salt tax that should be given to the court should be given."

"This fine salt is now a unique business. As long as we can refine fine salt, no matter where our salt farm is, merchants will still flock to it, not afraid that they will run away. Moreover, in the future, the salt can not only be sold to Dachen, but if we have the opportunity to trade with the Yan people in the future, the salt can even be sold to Yan State and Jibei and the seaside. Maybe it can also be sold to Wuchu and other places through sea boats."

In the past, Xun Ya was manipulating the salt business behind the scenes. She was no longer a piece of paper in doing business. Naturally, she knew that Chen Kaizhi's words made sense. If she did not buy salt from others and was only responsible for paying taxes to the court, the cost could be reduced by half. That's fine. If the markets in various places could be opened, the profits would be even more scary.

However, Xun Ya never knew much about Jibei than Chen Kaizhi, so she was more concerned. At this time, she said, "It's just that there are no Yan merchants coming here in Jibei."

When Chen Kaizhi heard Xun Ya ask about this, he turned a frown and said, "This is the stroke of the man who is a man of great origin."

He slapped his thigh and seemed extremely excited: "I have a private talk with Yan Envoy. If Jibei can be set up as a trading port, are you afraid that there will be no merchants from Yan people? At that time, it will be more than just salt, but whether there are any other goods, and other goods can be sold together."

Xun Ya looked surprised and asked excitedly: "Yan people, are they willing?"

She looked very disbelief and looked at Chen Kaizhi with surprise, her lips pursed.

"If Yan people are willing..."

Chen Kaizhi did not reserve to Xun Ya and said with a smile: "They have to agree, even if they refuse, because I have a condition and they have to accept it. I am ready to sell the cannons and muskets to them."

This time, Xun Ya was shocked, frowned slightly, and said with a worried look: "Kaizhi, it's easy to say anything else. This firearm is the foundation of the Warriors Camp. If you sell it to them, wouldn't it be..."

Chen Kaizhi knew Xun Ya's concerns and thought about it for a while. He put his hands on the desk and said in a deep thought.

"A firearms, at first, you can earn a lot of money. With money, you can build a large number of firearm workshops, recruit more skilled craftsmen, and improve the firearms again and again. We are constantly improving them, and the eliminated weapons are also placed, so it is better to sell them at a high price. This is just one of them. Nowadays, the Yan people are threatened by the Hu people and the Japanese people. In any case, the Yan people are also a brotherly country. The brotherly country I mentioned is not just the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but the Yan people are the same as us, and they are of the same origin. How can you sit back and see and let the Japanese and Hu people slaughter the people of the Great Yan? If the firearms can help them protect the country and the people, there is nothing wrong with it. This is the second; if you are a daughter's family, you may not understand it. Just say

If you sell this cannon to them, they can imitate it, but if it is an ordinary ammunition, they can imitate it. Even if they want to imitate it, it will be extremely difficult for them to imitate it. What is related to this is the material and technology problem. As long as they cannot make our steel, it will never be successful without the new mold making method. So... even if they sell it to them, they still need to continuously purchase ammunition from us. Once the trade is interrupted, their cannons will be of poor power. What's more, as long as we continue to improve cannons and muskets, what are we afraid of? After they use our current cannons and muskets, we will naturally equip more sophisticated firearms."

Xun Ya seemed to understand, but she still vaguely saw Chen Kaizhi's confidence. She smiled and nodded: "Since that's the case, the people of Yan must be willing to trade with each other. In this way... we can sell salt and firearms in Jibei... If we take the opportunity to sell some goods, well, I have to think about it. If we want to relocate, this is a huge project. I am afraid it will take a lot of time. I should compile a book for my parents to prepare them in advance."

After hearing this, Chen Kaizhi knew that although she had concerns in her words, Xun Ya was actually a daughter. Even if she had an idea, she would not dare to speak all the words.
