The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Zhang Xiaolan and Wang Yuanya breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They immediately said that as long as they informed the King of the North, they believed that the King of the North would definitely agree to this matter.

That's not...

Since Li Zhenbei started the rebellion, he has been burning, killing and looting along the way, and has never lacked food and money.

On the contrary, after he captured the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom and was about to achieve great things, he was chased and beaten by the barbarians all the way, and lost most of the northern territory.

Now it is no longer a matter of food and drink, it is a matter of life and death!

The barbarians were stationed nearby, eyeing them covetously. If Li Jize had not sent troops to Qingzhou, forcing them to fight on two fronts, the rebels would have been wiped out by now.

Moreover, when Li Jize relied on muskets and artillery to fight against the 50,000-strong barbarian army and seized half of Qingzhou's land...

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone has witnessed the power of firearms with their own eyes!

How could a rebellious army not want muskets and cannons?

In order to close the deal as quickly as possible, the two men said goodbye to Li Jize without saying a word, and said they would write a letter to the King of the North, asking him to send someone with silver and an envoy to negotiate.

Li Jize pursed his lips after watching the two "silly women" leave. His first arms deal was done just like that.

He was very sure and absolutely certain that Li Zhenbei would definitely buy muskets and cannons!

Coming back to his senses, Li Jize picked up the tea in front of him and said to the cruel officials and assassins who were still watching the show, "Continue the trial!"

Cruel official: "Yes!"

Assassin: I have a word MMP but I don’t know whether I should say it or not!

……

Soon, when Zhang Xiaolan and Wang Yuanya assigned someone to write a letter and delivered it to Li Zhenbei...

After reading the contents of the letter, Li Zhenbei immediately summoned all the military think tanks and generals to discuss the negotiation results between Wang Yuanya and Zhang Xiaolan.

"Li Jize said he has limited food and money, and only about 10,000 men and horses! He simply can't afford to launch another attack, but he proposed a very compromise solution. Do you think it's feasible?"

Everyone looked at Li Zhenbei, waiting for him to continue.

"They're willing to give us muskets, cannons, and gunpowder, but we need to provide them with food and money to buy them. What do you think of this deal?"

The people below were whispering and talking among themselves.

Wang Zhonggan was the most delighted among them. He sat in his chair, rubbing his hands together, and said excitedly, "Of course! Big brother, you've never seen the power of a fire musket! The reason Li Jize's small army can still survive is entirely thanks to this thing!"

Wang Zhonggan is also pathetic!

I mobilized 80,000 troops to fight Li Jize, but was defeated by his firearms and fled in disarray. Later, when the barbarians came in, I thought, "If I can't defeat them with hot weapons, can I also defeat them with cold weapons?"

then……

Then it was so embarrassing!

I can't defeat the barbarians with cold weapons, and I can't defeat Li Jize with hot weapons. Why do I have to suffer bullying everywhere?

He had been so successful in defeating the Qi army in the past that he had never suffered such humiliation!

Now that he has firearms, can't he hold his head high and deal with these barbarians?

Wang Zhonggan was the second-in-command in the army, so naturally his thoughts also represented the thoughts of the rebel generals. Who doesn't want to win the battle? Who wants to be suppressed by a group of barbarians?

So, they all support the deal!

Only the military advisor Jia Fang frowned and sat in his seat without saying a word.

Li Zhenbei looked at Jia Fang, slightly startled, and asked in confusion: "Why? Mr. Jia, do you disagree with this transaction?"

In an instant, after he said this, everyone in the audience turned their eyes to look at Jafar.

Jafar was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, stood up and said, "No! I'm not against this deal. Because for us, although money is good, we must first gain a foothold and save our lives!"

Of course not! If we lose, everyone is dead, what's the point of having money and food?

"Then why is the sir frowning?"

Li Zhenbei was still confused and just stared at Jia Fang.

"We've fought against the Qi army before, and we have quite a few muskets in our possession. Everyone knows how powerful they are. The muskets that Li Jize traded..."

Having said that, he smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said no more.

Everyone understood what he meant.

If Li Jize's muskets were the same as the Qi army's, does that mean they were just buying junk even if they spent their money?

"No!"

At this time, Wang Zhonggan stood up and spoke for the enemy.

"The firearms in Li Jize's hands are all top-grade. When I fought him, I never saw his firearms misfire or explode like the Qi army's."

When he said this, the bandits who had fought with him in the "Battle of Qinghe" nodded in agreement.

Others were discussing and whispering, wondering how Li Jize managed to prevent the musket from exploding.

The answer is also very simple!

One is that the craftsmen’s wages will never be withheld. There is an accountability system for everyone who makes something. If the barrel explodes, the craftsman will lose his head.

Another factor is the craftsmanship. Traditional ironware is made from pig iron.

Li Jize knew the chemical methods of later generations and mixed carbon into the pig iron according to the proportion...

Seeing that everyone thinks this deal is worthwhile and should be purchased, there is no need to talk further.

The next question to discuss is how much will Li Jize's weapons sell for? And how much will they have to pay in exchange for the other party selling them?

In the end, they only sell muskets, but do they also sell cannons?

Artillery is really powerful!

At least after Li Jize built it, whether it was the barbarians, the rebel army, or even the Qi army...

No one can cast a cannon!

First of all, the appearance of firearms here was already a groundbreaking thing. Secondly, Li Jize developed it in too short a time, and there had to be a research and manufacturing process in between.

This period of time is the blank period!

During the blank period, the only thing they could use to catch up was the musket!

Now let’s talk about the issue that the rebels are most concerned about. How much does Li Jize charge for his muskets and cannons?

Bird guns are cheap, one costs 9 cents of silver, but Li Jize asked for three taels of silver!

Then, only small-caliber cannons are sold, large-caliber ones are not for sale, and the price of one is 15 taels of silver.

Lead bullet (projectile) small lead bullet weighs 3.6 centimeters.

One pound of gunpowder, including the tools and labor, was worth 1 cents in silver.

In a word, anything sold from them will cost four or five times as much after deducting the cost price.

We're not worried that Li Zhenbei won't buy it, because the most important thing is that they have to develop and build it themselves, and there's no time! As long as you're willing to pay, there's a ready-made one, ready to use!

Just tell me whether you will buy it or not!
