Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1092, a lucrative deal
"And this armor is also produced by our most powerful Miyun Iron Works in Daming. The steel used is also not available outside. The defense is amazing, but the weight is very light."

"helmet?"

"Helmets are also matching, and we must buy them together. Our Ming army has a complete set, and any soldier is like this. That's why we can sweep the Ottoman Empire. You Persians use our Ming's weapons and equipment. When the time comes, you will definitely The Ottoman Empire, which was able to fight, fell to the ground."

"Cannon~"

"The artillery is a good thing. This is the Hongzhi [-]th cannon produced by the Miyun Arsenal. It has a long range, a fast rate of fire, and high accuracy. It is also equipped with wheels. It can be pulled by a horse. It is very flexible. "

"Of course, this also must use the gunpowder produced by our Ming Dynasty. Your Persian gunpowder is not good, the quality is too poor, and it will easily damage the barrel."

"You can rest assured of the service life, and there will be no problem with putting thousands of guns on it casually."

"Look at this material. It's also made of the best steel produced by the Miyun Iron Works. It doesn't even have a honeycomb hole. Listen to the sound, and you'll know it."

At this time, Liu Jin was not like a minister of officials at all, but like a merchant in the market, and then tried his best to sell Ming's arms and weapons to Chaland, Rasul and others.

Zhang Mao next to him couldn't stand it any longer. You are also a minister of the official department after all, so pay attention to your identity and status.

As for Chaland, Rasoul and others, they all listened very carefully and carefully, and from time to time they even personally touched the things Liu Jin was selling.

Then he couldn't help but nodded.

There is nothing to say, the quality of Daming's arms and weapons is absolutely outstanding, they are all high-quality weapons and equipment, whether it is muskets or cannons, or these armors, helmets, etc., everything is high-quality goods.

It is much better than the weapons produced by the Persians themselves. Even if it is eliminated and replaced by the Ming army, it is better than the weapons and equipment of any other country.

Especially in terms of firearms, Daming's firearms are powerful in the world, and they have been tested in actual combat with repeated victories, so there is no need to doubt it.

“Things are really good~”

"I really can't say enough about the quality of this firearm."

"Of course, I have seen the Ming army fighting the Ottoman army with my own eyes. The hundreds of thousands of Ottoman troops charged against the [-] Ming army, but they couldn't break through the Ming's musket line. out."

"The scene was very spectacular. Whether your surging cavalry or tenacious infantry phalanx faced Ming's muskets and artillery, they would all be torn to pieces."

"If our Persian Empire can have a musketeer team of [-] men, then we don't need to fear the Ottoman Empire at all."

Chaland, Rasul and others also continued to teach in Persian, discussing the arms and weapons in front of them.

Charland is a master of Ming Dynasty, and he is very yearning for everything about Ming Dynasty, especially when Daming swept the Ottoman army, which made Charland, a man of insight, feel that Daming is the real role model that the Persian Empire should learn from.

Persia should learn from Ming Dynasty and form a new type of army composed of pure guns and artillery to fight against the mighty Ottoman Empire.

"Master Liu, how much does this musket cost?"

Charland waited for Liu Jin to finish his introduction, and then asked with a smile.

"This musket is not expensive, it only costs three hundred taels of silver, and at least [-] muskets are sold."

Liu Jin replied with a smile.

"Three hundred taels of silver a rod?"

When Charland and Rasul heard it, they couldn't help but yelled out in unison.

Now Ming's silver dollars are widely used in the world, and one piece of silver is worth one tael of silver, so they are well aware of how expensive the price of three hundred taels of silver is.

They in Persia, the most common Persians, worked hard all year long on farming, herding sheep, etc., and they might not be able to save a tael of silver in one year.

The price of three hundred taels of silver is really too expensive. The key is that you need to start selling at [-] rods, not one hundred or two hundred, but one thousand or two thousand. You need to place an order of at least ten thousand rods. Row.

"Master Liu, this is too expensive~"

Charland couldn't help but said.

"Yeah, yeah, it's too expensive!"

Rasul couldn't help but follow along.

Even Zhang Mao on the side couldn't help but slightly widened his eyes.

Of course, he knew how much such a musket cost. The manufacturing cost at Miyun Armory was less than three taels of silver, and it was only five taels of silver when sold to the military.

At first, I thought that Liu Jin would be able to call a few dozen taels of silver at most, and it would be over the top. After all, ten times the profit is still very impressive.

Who knew that Liu Jin, a black-hearted ghost, would open his mouth and ask for three hundred taels of silver a rod, and the key point is that he would sell it at least [-] rods.

"Black, really fucking black~"

"It's the same as my land. It was bought for a few taels of silver at the beginning, but now it costs thousands of taels of silver per mu."

Zhang Mao couldn't help sighing in his heart, and his whole heart felt a dull pain.

"Expensive, of course it is very expensive, and I have to admit this."

"But as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, our Daming muskets are definitely the best muskets in the world right now."

"Our Ming Dynasty was able to defeat the Ottoman Empire, relying on the muskets in our hands."

"If you want cheap products, we also have them in Ming Dynasty. We can produce muskets like those from the Europeans and the Ottoman Empire."

"But would you want that kind of bargain?"

Liu Jin admitted with a smile, my things are expensive, but they are expensive for a reason.

Hearing Liu Jin mention the Ottoman Empire, Chaland and Rasul could not help but twitch slightly.

This is their Persian pain point.

The Ottoman Empire is their feud, and they have a very long history of hatred between them. However, the current situation is that their Persians are still unable to do the Ottoman Empire.

Every war with the Ottoman Empire basically ended in the defeat of the Persian Empire.

When Liu Jin said that this musket could defeat the Ottoman Empire, their eyes were slightly red.

"Master Liu, can it be cheaper~"

"The price of three hundred taels of silver is really too expensive."

Charland thought for a while and bargained.

"There is no way to negotiate the price, but within the scope of my authority, I can make the decision. I will give you the matching bayonet for free, and I will also give you fifty rounds of gunpowder for each musket for free."

Liu Jin shook his head slightly.

Discussing price is obviously not a sensible seller, it is better to discuss value with them.

"This is not bad~"

Charland and Rasoul looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"What about this cannon?"

Charland asked again the price of the artillery.

"The price of artillery is really expensive. A artillery needs [-] taels of silver~"

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

"It's really dark~"

"How dare you open your mouth and shout out."

Zhang Mao on the side couldn't help cursing in his heart.

This kind of Hongzhi [-]th cannon produced by Miyun Arsenal is a kind of Miyun artillery, and it is also a product that has been eliminated. At the beginning, the production cost was only less than one hundred taels of silver for each one, and it was sold to the military. That's three hundred taels of silver.

The fire rate is slow, the accuracy is poor, and the range is average. The Ming military has already eliminated it, and used the new Miyun Cannon with a longer range, faster rate of fire, and better accuracy. It can also use flowering ammunition.

These cannons are just a pile of scrap iron lumps thrown in the warehouse. God knows that people will think of the waste to be used in the year of the monkey.

Well now, this Liu Jin, who opened his mouth and opened a cannon to ask for [-] taels of silver, really eats people without spitting out his bones, and his heart is black.

"Thirty thousand taels of silver is too expensive, can it be cheaper~"

Charland frowned. Daming's arms and weapons are really expensive, not so expensive. A cannon actually costs [-] taels of silver. Even if it is made of silver, it doesn't need that much.

"The price is certainly non-negotiable, but it is still an old rule. I can give you a matching mobile four-wheeled carriage as a gift, and I can also send you dozens of gunpowder and shells for shells."

Liu Jin still shook his head with a smile.

I have such a temper in business, I will never bargain with you on the price, but I can get you some free items.

"I definitely won't want it, just go back and cast the cannon by yourself~"

Zhang Mao said with certainty in his heart.

There are many countries that can make cannons. The technical content of cannons is not high. There is no need to spend a lot of money to buy this artillery.

"We are going to buy [-] guns for this gun and go back to try it out. For this gun, we will buy [-] guns first."

Charland, Rasul and the others discussed with each other. After some intense discussions and calculations, Charland also reported the quantity of his first batch of purchases.

"Twenty thousand muskets?"

"Thirty cannons?"

When Zhang Mao heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and then counted with his fingers.

"Twenty thousand muskets, one for three hundred taels of silver, this is a big deal of six million taels of silver."

"Thirty cannons, each with [-] taels of silver, now it's [-] taels of silver."

"This adds up to a big deal of nearly seven million taels of silver."

"These muskets and cannons are all discarded items, and they are all worthless items. Even at the original price, the cost of this transaction is only tens of thousands of taels of silver."

"One million profits, one million profits!"

The more Zhang Mao counted, the more excited he became, and his eyes began to light up.

This arms deal is too lucrative.

"Okay, no problem~"

"Seeing that you have purchased so many weapons and weapons at one time, I am the master here, and I will give you another hundred sets of armor and helmets."

"Let me tell you, the quality of our Ming's armor and helmet is very good, and ordinary bows and arrows can't hurt it at all."

"Also, the reason why our Ming army is so powerful is because we have given guarantees in many aspects, including the best in every aspect of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so we can win every battle."

"If you want to defeat the Ottoman Empire in Persia, you must learn from our Ming Dynasty, not only to buy these muskets and cannons, you see, this saber is also a very good thing."

"It was designed after tens of thousands of chopping tests, and it is most suitable for cavalry combat."

"There are also our bows and arrows. These are fine bows. Buy some and take them home. You won't regret it if you keep them."

"This is a marching tent with rubber inside, which is very soft and not afraid of getting wet."

"The marching boots and military uniforms are all uniforms of our Ming army. Don't underestimate these shoes. Whether the army has combat effectiveness or not is very important. Let's take this shoe as an example."

"The shoes of our Ming army are all made of whale skin, which is very strong and durable. At the same time, the fleece is very warm and breathable, which is very suitable for the army."

"I'm afraid that if I spend money, I won't be able to build a strong army. The average cost of a soldier in our Ming Dynasty is several hundred taels of silver per person per year. The strong combat effectiveness is all piled up with silver."

"Would you like to take a look at the gloves and clothes used by our Ming army?"

"This is soap for bathing. Soldiers sweat a lot during training every day. They must be clean, otherwise diseases and various small animals will easily breed. Soap is very good. We Daming people use this to bathe almost every day."

"And this is a toothbrush, for brushing your teeth. This thing is very cheap. You can get a lot of it for a tael of silver. You don't need a few silver for a little."

"This is a marching kettle, made of pure steel, durable and very convenient for marching."

"Yes, our Ming army is of course a standard configuration. Water is a very important thing. It is not good to use a bag, not to mention the smell, and it is easy to breed unclean things. Of course, it is best to use a pure steel kettle."
