"Do you really want to sell them 10,000 grenades?" After hearing Li Xiao's decision, Ao Canghai immediately pulled Li Xiao aside while Shi Kefa went to find the army and needed money.

"I know what you're worried about? Grenade is a melee weapon. Even with your physique, how far can you throw a grenade? To fight something like this, you still have to rely on artillery. Look at the rocket launchers on the arsenal ship, all of them are

How many grenades do you shoot?

Even if Shi Kefa had 100,000 grenades, he would be destroyed by me before he could throw them away. So, no matter how many grenades he has, it will not pose a threat to us. If he cares about me buying mortars, you can see whether I can sell them to him."

"Damn it, you're like a monkey if you stick your hair on it!" Ao Canghai touched his nose and felt that his worries were unnecessary.

"Thirty thousand taels of silver, if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain. Don't you know how short of money we are now? To raise troops, train troops, and go out to fight. We can't support any of them with money. If we don't find a way to make money, everyone is drinking the northwest wind?

Tell me if I can give them some firecrackers later and they can buy firecrackers from us. Our firecrackers are better than those of the Francois."

Ao Canghai turned around and left, deciding not to talk to this money-minded boss.

Shi Kefa came back and raised his hand to Li Xiao: "There are 20,000 taels of silver in the army. We can allocate 15,000 taels to the Commander-in-Chief as a deposit."

Damn it! Li Xiao couldn't help but take a second look at the guy in front of him. He always carried 20,000 taels of silver with him when he went out to fight. This guy is a rich man! It's over! It's over! The price just sold was a loss! Li Xiao was extremely sure that he was selling

For five taels of silver, Shi Kefa would buy it without hesitation.

"This gun of yours is good, but according to our shooting range, it is still closer, and the power is not strong enough." His eyes turned and he realized, we can sell something else. There is a shortage of pigs on Changxing Island, so let's slaughter them here today.

This guy has a knife.

As soon as Li Xiao stretched out his hand, a soldier from the special agent company handed over the gun in his hand.

"Although our guns don't use match ropes, you can see that the power of shooting is very different." After Li Xiao finished speaking, he raised the fire blunderbuss in his hand and fired a "bang" shot on a tree a hundred steps away.

A flower magpie fell from the tree.

After ordering someone to pick up the magpie, Shi Kefa looked at it and nodded. Even the Portuguese next to him looked surprised at the wound.

The magpie, which is not much smaller than a chicken, has only a small bullet hole on one side. On the other side, the entire wing is missing, and the pink internal organs are exposed in the open wound. A section of the white ribs is broken. This thing needs to be shot.

In humans, it is probably impossible to survive.

In comparison, the round projectiles fired by the Portuguese flintlock guns are much worse. Because the power of gunpowder is limited, most of the projectiles will remain in the body. They are more likely to be stuck in hard bones and will not damage the internal organs at all. Medical

As long as the officials successfully dig out the bullets, their probability of survival is very high.

"Master Li, this fire gun...!"

"It's not expensive, three hundred taels each with fifty rounds of bullets. If you run out of bullets in the future, you can still buy them from me." Li Xiao immediately offered the price and extorted so many gun barrels from Nurhachi, half of which

The left and right parts can be used, and most of the rest can be used after repair.

Moreover, Li Xiao and Mr. Yu discussed the issue of fixed ammunition these days. The old guy is very interested in Li Xiao's firing pin theory. He is working on it day and night with Inatomi Yu. After the change of equipment in the future, there will be no room for a large number of firecrackers.

Digestion.

"Three hundred taels...!" Shi Kefa turned around and said something to the Portuguese next to him. Li Xiao regretted that Ai Husheng was not around, otherwise he would know what Shi Kefa said. Damn it, who would have thought that Shi Kefa could speak Portuguese.

"We can order five thousand!" Shi Kefa's conversation with the Portuguese made him very frustrated. As an expert in firearms, the Portuguese saw through the advantages of Mini bullets at a glance. But Mini bullets can be imitated to propel the gunpowder in the bullets.

But it doesn't work.

The Portuguese told Scofa that the key to the matter was the gray granular gunpowder. Compared with the black gunpowder commonly used in this era, this granular gunpowder was absolutely crushing. Only by mastering the secret of gunpowder can you use the weapon in your hand.

Exert great power.

Li Xiao's lips were trembling with excitement. Oh my god! Rich man! This must be five thousand branches. He calculated it several times in his brain before he was sure that the number of one and a half million was accurate.

It's made! Now it's damn good! One and a half million taels, and Li Xiao is so happy that his heart is about to burst.

"Master Li, we are attacking your mortars...!" Shi Kefa was ready to push further.

"I won't sell it!" Li Xiao refused.

Guns can be sold, but cannons cannot be sold. This is a matter of principle!

"Master Li, we have guns but not cannons. We can't rely on you to provide artillery assistance in future wars. We don't need the cannons on your warships. If you really don't want to, forget about the cannons. We will still

With what he has in hand, the Folangji people sell us only fifty taels. Your price is six times that of his. But the power of the weapon cannot be increased by six times."

Holy shit!

Li Xiao couldn't help but re-examine Shi Kefa. It turned out that this guy was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. One and a half million was the bait thrown out. What this bastard really wanted was the mortar.

This guy has worked hard to get mortars. He would rather spend 1.5 million to buy Li Xiao's musket.

One and a half million taels of silver! Li Xiao felt so entangled in his heart that his heart was twisted together like a twist. Then there were ten thousand ants crawling on it!

The current Li Xiao is also a master he has eaten and met before, but one and a half million taels of silver still makes Li Xiao tempted. With so much silver, he could be buried alive ten times and still have one hundred and eighty monuments erected.

"Sell! It's easy to talk about, everything is easy to talk about." Ao Canghai's roar came over. With the help of the clerk around him, this guy has only now figured out how much the five thousand guns are worth.

One and a half million taels of silver! If this thing falls from the sky, it can kill a whole group.

Li Xiao was still struggling, and Ao Canghai pulled Li Xiao aside.

"What are you waiting for? Sell it! One and a half million taels of silver, not counting the money for selling mortars. Didn't you want to form a third division? Now you have the money. What are you waiting for? Yesterday you paid back

Complain to me, and they will ask you for money everywhere." One and a half million taels of silver has completely gone to Master Ao's nerves. To be honest, Master Ao has never seen so much money in his whole life.

"You think I don't want these 1.5 million taels of silver? But the cannons can't be sold, and the mortars actually have very low technical content. What if they imitate them?"

"Don't fool me, the most powerful thing about a mortar is actually the shell. The barrel is just an iron barrel. Their gunpowder is not as good as ours, and they can't make our shells. Do you think that an iron barrel can do it?"

Is it difficult to live with others? When the time comes, as long as we hold back the cannonballs, we won't be afraid of them going against us.

Besides, our current artillery guns are of course number one in terms of rate of fire, but in terms of power, look at our current rocket launchers. If one of them is covered and fired, what will be left in the mortar position? It's nothing.

What a waste! We have this thing, are you still afraid of him?"

Li Xiao looked at Ao Canghai, and a voice kept shouting in his heart. "Master Ao is right! Master Ao is right!" But there was another villain whispering: "This is very dangerous! This is very dangerous!"

Two voices came and went in his mind, causing Li Xiao to almost have a split personality.

"I also know that it's difficult for you to do. How about we take a gamble and let God decide?"

"Why bet!" When there is no way to make a judgment, taking a gamble is almost the last resort.

Ao Canghai grabbed a handful of pebbles from the side: "If this handful of pebbles is an even number, then damn, sell it to him. If it's an odd number, then don't sell it."

"Uh...!" This is really God's will. God knows whether these handfuls of small gravels are odd or even.

"Okay! But if we sell odd numbers to them, we won't sell even numbers." Li Xiao felt that as the boss, he had the right to change the rules.

"Why?"

"For no reason, I just thought it might be an odd number!"

"Hold!"

A scene happened that made Shi Kefa's eyes widen. Li Xiao and Ao Canghai squatted on the ground. They put pebbles on a big stone. Ao Canghai held a branch in his hand and kept playing with the pebbles.

"Does this count?"

"I've already mentioned pebbles. This one is a bit smaller than that." Ao Canghai pointed to a small pebble the size of a grain of sand.

"Oh! Forget it!" Li Xiao thought it was better to respect God's will.

Ao Canghai gathered the pebbles in groups of four. After a while, there was only one solitary pebble lying on the big rock!

"one!"

"one!"

"I'll think about it again!"

"Whatever you think, this is God's will. God wants you to sell it!"

Shi Kefa had the urge to strangle these two guys to death. These two guys were counting stones here just to decide whether to sell the mortar to him.

"Then sell it!"

"Sell! Set the price higher and kill this kid. He's a fucking rich man!"

"How much is the right amount?" Li Xiao has been an honest kid since he was a child, but he feels that he is not very good at deceiving people.

Ao Canghai immediately picked up a bunch of leaves from the tree: "How about we count the leaves...!"

"roll……!"

The two leaders of the Liaodong Army first squatted on the ground and counted stones, and then started counting leaves. When word spread, the Liao Army would not let them lose their face.

Li Xiao stood up with his hands on his knees: "Master Shi, the mortar matter is easy to discuss. After discussing with Master Ao, I decided to sell it to you! But...!"

"If there are any conditions, it doesn't matter!" Shi Kefa knew that he could not buy a warship from Li Xiao. But he had already seen the full power of mortars during the Battle of Jinzhou.

Compared with this kind of artillery, the artillery of the Fo Lang robots not only does not have much advantage in range, but also has a crushing rate of fire. If you fire a shell here, it has not finished loading. Over there

Three or four rounds of mortars have been fired.

Whether it's the charging cavalry or the infantry advancing in formation, this thing is like a nightmare.

"I can sell it to you, but the price will be higher." Li Xiao sharpened his knife to kill this taken advantage of.

"Easy to say, how much will it cost? If you have the price, I'll do it."

"A mortar costs three thousand taels of silver, and shells cost fifty taels per round."
