"It is enough to disband on the spot, and the cost required for recruitment will be borne by me." Wu Zheng said sneeringly, "According to my estimate, this may never happen."

Wu Zheng said it was very confident and had a momentum of no other than me.

In fact, Wei Kuangguo knew in his heart that this matter was beneficial to the Holy See and did not harm the Roman Catholic Church.

The Holy See did not invest any money, and Wu Zheng spent no less money. The outflow of musket casting technology for the Holy See was tens of thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty and had no influence at all.

But the Holy See thus obtained Wu Zheng's promise, which is to share with Wu Zheng the experience and pros and cons of using muskets in this war, so as to improve the muskets in a targeted manner.

This is the real interest and is related to the future dominance of war.

The only disadvantage or disadvantage is that if the Qing court knew about this, the Holy See might have had a feud with the Qing court because of this, but both sides were also thousands of miles apart. What if the Qing court knew about it? These craftsmen were still far behind in the land controlled by the Ming army. Even if something unexpected happened, they could still go to sea and return home calmly.

What the Holy See really needs to bear is that if the Qing court gets into evil, Jesus God will not be able to spread on the land controlled by the Qing court.

But there is another possibility, that is, Wu Zheng was able to defeat the Qing army and restore the lost territory by using muskets on a large scale, so he didn't have to care about the reaction of the Qing court.

Wei Kuangguo used this to make excuses before, but it was just an excuse.

"Okay, just as you say. I just hope you keep your promise."

Wu Zheng said happily: "A gentleman speaks and a quick horse and a whip. Mr. Wei will be relieved. From today on, I will go to the land of the nine palaces and the voice of God, unobstructed."

"Thank you, Master Jinghai." Wei Kuangguo was also happy when he heard this. This was what he really needed.

....

After Wei Kuangguo left.

Mo Zhinian shook his head and said, "The lord is anxious. In fact, this is not difficult. The foreign merchants from various countries gather in Hangzhou. It is not difficult to buy one or twenty thousand muskets at a high price."

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "The difference between fish and fishing is in the future!"

"Future?" Mo Zhinian frowned slightly, "Lord, have you forgotten what Wei Kuangguo said just now that none of European countries have equipped muskets on a large scale? If it is really a treasure to defeat the enemy, why don't countries use it on a large scale? Moreover, Wei Kuangguo also organized musketeers in Jinhua City to assist the Ming army in resisting, but the effect was not good."

Wu Zheng smiled and turned his head, and looked at the screen, Mo Yiqing, who was masked with a gauze scarf, said, "How did Qing'er think about this?"

Mo Yiqing stood up after hearing this, bowed slightly, and then said, "Since my husband knows the disadvantages of this musket, he insists on spending huge amounts of money to recruit craftsmen and buy casting equipment, and even selects 200 people to a foreign country. I believe that he has already had a way to deal with the disadvantages of muskets, or even improve them. I wonder if Qing'er said that?"

Wu Zheng laughed loudly, pointed at Mo Yiqing and said to Mo Zhennian: "Everyone says ginger is so spicy, but today's old saying is not effective."

Mo Zhinian was quietly enlightened by Mo Yiqing's words. It was not that he could not have imagined that, but that the authorities were confused.

He is Wu Zheng's money bag, and this money is almost the Mo family's private money.

The previous public funds had been completely scattered by Wu Zheng. Yingtian and Suzhou conscripted more than 30,000 new recruits, Wang Zhiren newly built 8,000 navy and a large number of ships, as well as rewards and pensions under Wu Zheng after this battle.

It's really like spending money.

If Mo Zhengnian had not lent the more than 20 million silver, he would have allowed Wu Zheng to "squander" for two or three years, or even fought a few big battles, but if he really wanted to do that, Wu Zheng would have a fire behind him.

The people are disappointed, and no matter how many battles you win, it will probably not be worth the loss.

Mo Zhongnian was confused by the authorities. He was not full of heartache. From the moment he recognized Wu Zheng as the leader, Mo Zhongnian was equivalent to pushing himself and the entire Mo family to the blocking table, shuttled, and there was no room for maneuver.

He was just thinking about how to pay the smallest price on the premise of achieving his goal.

Therefore, after hearing many disadvantages such as the range of muskets is not long, the accuracy is not high, and his first reaction is that it is better to recruit a new army from the people than to spend so much money, which can enhance his strength.

It is not worth wasting a lot of money on this kind of useless ribs.

But at this moment, Mo Obsessed recalled by his granddaughter Mo Yiqing's words. Yes, Wu Zheng is obviously not a stupid person. He knows many disadvantages, but how could he invest huge amounts of money in it? He still promised many conditions.

Of course, there are solutions to cope or improve them.

Mo Zhinian immediately bowed and said, "I am confused and didn't even notice the lord's thoughts."

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "Mr. Mo doesn't need to care. I didn't explain it clearly to you. However, this matter is complicated and not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence or two sentences. But one thing is certain. If you want to use the land of the Nine Palaces to fight against the Qing court that occupied most of the territory without being defeated, then all I can think of is muskets."

Mo Zhong Nian didn’t understand the matter of muskets. What he cared about was the profits of Hangzhou’s special products sold to Europe.

Foreign merchants from all over the country gathered in Hangzhou Prefecture, and most of the products were found.

But it was precisely because of the re-sale dealers that the profits obtained by Ming merchants were undoubtedly cut off most of the profits.

Therefore, this time, Mo Nian deliberately introduced Wei Kuangguo, mainly to use Wei Kuangguo to open up a direct sales channel to Europe.

But today, the main theme of Wu Zheng’s conversation with Wei Kuangguo has been revolving around muskets from beginning to end, which disappointed Mo Zunnian.

After Wu Zheng finished speaking, Mo Guaninian said, "Master may not know that I originally wanted to establish a trade channel between Hangzhou and Lisboa (Lisbon) as a missionary in Wei Kuangguo. In this way, our Ming Dynasty's silk, porcelain, tea and other specialties can be directly sold to Lisboa and surrounding countries, and the huge profits do not have to be intercepted by those merchants."

Mo Yiqing, who had been listening to Wu Zheng and Mo Zheng talked there, said at this time: "My husband raises troops and forms a new army very much. The taxes on the three palaces alone are probably far from enough. What's more, husband wants to buy equipment for casting muskets, hire a large number of foreign craftsmen, and the steel, iron, and coal required for casting muskets in the future, all require huge amounts of money. Qing'er thinks, as his grandfather said, perhaps it is the only feasible way to gather huge wealth in the short term, and I hope your husband will think twice."

Wu Zheng smiled and looked at Mo Yiqing, and then looked at Mo Oddie.

Mo Yiqing quickly stood up, and asked for guilty words: "Qing'er has spoken nonsense, please punish him."

Wu Zheng waved his hand casually and said, "Please come and listen, just to hear what you mean. You can't blame you for saying something wrong."
