He held the gun handle with one hand and the loader under the barrel with the other hand and pulled it back hard.

With just a click, the loading process was completed.

Man Gui did not take Zhu Youxiao's warning to heart. After doing all this, he pointed the gun at the target in front of him and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

As the gunshots rang out, a hint of surprise instantly appeared on Mangui's face.

Then, he took several steps back uncontrollably.

The wooden target in front of him was blown up on the spot!

A large amount of fragments, with the kinetic energy of the projectile, flew everywhere, like flowers scattered by a fairy.

"Hahahaha, it's enjoyable. It's really fucking enjoyable!"

Man Gui's physical fitness was indeed not comparable to those of the craftsmen. The recoil force that could crack the craftsman's metacarpal bones only made his arms a little sore.

Without caring about other people's reactions, he held the loaders with his left hand and pulled it back again, continuing to shoot.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

After five consecutive bullets were fired, the pile of targets had completely turned into firewood.

Not far away, Lin Danhan, who had been watching him, was completely stunned!

“This, this, this…”

His eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide enough to fit an egg in. He spoke for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

The power of this gun was beyond his understanding!

This thing is simply a small-sized Portuguese cannon!

In fact, Xu Guangqi thought so when he first saw the drawings!

The gun body is equivalent to the mother gun of the Portuguese cannon, and the fine steel shell is equivalent to the sub-gun of the Portuguese cannon!

Seeing his expression, Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

"How is it? Is Lin Danhan satisfied with this power?"

Hearing this, Lin Danhan suddenly came back to his senses and nodded his head rapidly, "Satisfied! Very satisfied! I just wonder how much the Emperor can sell to me?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Youxiao looking at him angrily.

"What to sell?"

"When did I mention the money to the Khan?"

"Don't talk about money, it hurts feelings!"

Lin Danhan's expression suddenly dimmed: "No, you won't sell it?"

Yes!

How can such a powerful weapon be sold to others easily?

Let alone the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if it were me, I would never do such a thing to dig my own grave, right?

But at this moment, Zhu Youxiao's voice came from his ears again.

"I call this spear Dragon Flame!"

"Although I'm not selling them, I can give you three hundred."

"For free?" Lin Danhan felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart.

"That's right, it's free!"

"But the cost of making this Dragon Flame is too high. I can only give you another 3,000 rounds of bullets. If Lin Danhan wants more, he can only exchange it for cattle and sheep."

"I have said that we will not talk about money. These cattle and sheep are only used to improve the food for the craftsmen."

"Five bullets, one sheep."

"Twenty bullets, one cow."

"Thirty bullets and a horse."

"I wonder what Lin Danhan thinks?"

Xu Guangqi had estimated the cost of bullets long before the prototype gun came out, and found that one bullet was about forty cents.

The current market price of a sheep is about one or two taels of silver, or one thousand coins.

Five bullets for one sheep, although the profit is less, it is almost the same as losing money...

But who makes us so conscientious?

If I lose my conscience, I won't be able to sleep...

But as soon as he mentioned the price, Lin Danhan fell into endless entanglement.

He didn't know how much the bullet cost, but the power of the dragon flame really made him excited.

This thing has a wide killing range. If it were used on the battlefield, one shot would definitely result in the destruction of both the man and the horse.

He was even imagining the scene after he got the Dragon Flame.

Three hundred brave warriors, riding on their war horses, roamed across the endless snowfield.

All the Rakshasas must submit to this Khan’s gun!

As long as you conquer enough tribes and occupy enough grassland, cattle and horses are not worth mentioning at all!

By then, we will regain the glory of our ancestors and drink from the Danube...

Just thinking about it is exciting!

He was immersed in the picture in his mind, but Xu Guangqi next to him couldn't help but gasp.

The bullets cost forty cents, and Your Majesty actually increased the price several times when he asked?

So dark...

Wu Chunfu and others had the same expression. Although they didn't know the cost, they could guess it pretty close.

Man Gui also came back with an empty gun. When he heard the price, he was completely stunned.

Damn, I just shivered a few times, a sheep...

Gone?

Among the crowd, there is only one exception!

That’s Guo Yunhou!

He took out a notebook without anyone noticing and started calculating on it.

One sheep, one tael of silver, exchanged for five bullets, equivalent to two hundred coins per bullet.

One cow, five taels of silver, could be exchanged for twenty bullets, equivalent to two hundred and fifty coins per bullet.

One horse, twenty taels of silver, in exchange for thirty bullets, equivalent to 666 coins per bullet.

hiss.........

This price is very Your Majesty!

He just walked quietly to Wu Chunfu and nudged him with his shoulder.

"Old man, does this belong to the Western Factory or the Ministry of Industry?"

Wu Chunfu was stunned: "What do you want to do?"

Guo Yunhou glared and said, "Taxation, what else can you do?"

Wu Chunfu subconsciously distanced himself from him: "Are you fucking crazy?"

Guo Yunhou stroked his beard with a smile: "If you are not crazy, you can't live!"

"Tell me the truth, should I ask you for the tax, or should I ask that eunuch Wang Chengen for it?"

Wu Chunfu: ......

"Get lost! I don't know you!"

Chapter 586: Listen to my advice, you’d better be smart!

While the two were whispering, Lin Danhan had already made the final decision.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your generosity!"

"The Khan is willing to exchange another 30,000 rounds of ammunition for the horse!"

He simply ignored the options of sheep and cattle. It was not that he did not have sheep and cattle, but among these three kinds of livestock, only horses could run long distances...

The straight-line distance between his tent and the capital was more than two thousand miles.

If we drive cattle and sheep over such a long distance, I am afraid that half of them will die before we finish the journey.

Although it sounds like exchanging sheep for bullets is the most cost-effective, if casualties are taken into account, using sheep becomes the least cost-effective.

Thirty thousand bullets are equivalent to a thousand war horses.

According to the current market price in Ming Dynasty, a war horse costs about twenty taels of silver.

One thousand war horses would cost twenty thousand taels.

But the cost...

Thirty thousand rounds of bullets only cost one thousand two hundred taels......

Xu Guangqi felt dizzy and quietly took a few steps back, fearing that he would lose his composure by accident.

But after hearing this, Guo Yunhou felt disappointed.

motherfucker.

Too stingy!

Only 30,000 rounds...

I have taken out all my account books, and this is it?

His Majesty has come out in person to negotiate the deal, and you, Damiao, are only buying this little?

Your Majesty can tolerate it, but I, Old Guo, cannot!

So, when Zhu Youxiao was about to speak, he suddenly jumped out.

"Can't!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Zhu Youxiao looked at him in surprise: "Minister Guo, do you have anything to say?"

Guo Yunhou cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think that 30,000 rounds of ammunition are definitely not enough for Lin Danhan!"

"Everyone saw General Mangui testing his gun just now."

"Five shots, but they were finished in a split second."

"Three hundred guns firing at the same time, that means one thousand five hundred bullets in one round!"

"Lin Danhan is facing the Russians. God knows if those 800 people are scouts?"

"How many troops are behind them? Who can tell for sure?"

"So, I think that not only are 30,000 bullets not enough, but 300 guns are definitely not enough!"

Hearing this, Lin Danhan was so excited that tears almost came out.

Dear!

In the Ming Dynasty, besides the emperor, is there someone who cares about me so much?

But he could count the bullets himself, but he really didn't dare to say anything about the gun, so he could only stand aside and watch silently.
