Chapter 140 Arms Trade

There is a small musket range on the open space outside the firearm warehouse.

At this time, twenty craftsmen from the craftsmanship department stood in a row.

They are specifically responsible for gun tests.

Whenever a gun is made, they have to test it in person to verify whether the grenade gun is qualified.

At the craftsman's 100 steps, there are twenty wooden targets, and each target has a layer of iron sheet.

After Liu Jun gave the order, twenty people shot at the same time.

After a burst of fire and smoke emerged, Jin Xiao and Liu Jun walked forward to watch the shooting effect.

"The iron sheet was penetrated." Jin Xiao said.

There are nine bullet holes on twenty targets, and the hit rate is very low.

However, compared to Beiyan's firearms, it is already very good.

The most important thing is that the power of Jingzhou's melee gun is actually greater than that of Beiyan.

After checking the target, he went back to carefully check Jingzhou's melee.

It was found that the muzzle of each craftsman's melee was very suitable for the projectile.

"Try a few more shots?" Jin Xiao was a little unwilling.

He remembered that Beiyan's melee gun often had incidents of silence and explosion.

Liu Jun smiled.

Originally, he was just dealing with Jin Xiao and brought him to take a look.

Unexpectedly, this guy seems to be serious.

"Start ten more rounds." Liu Jun said.

The craftsmen obeyed the orders and skillfully loaded, fired, and fired.

Five minutes later, ten rounds were finished, and the contrail was intact.

Jin Xiao was still a little dissatisfied, "Are these twenty players the best?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince can choose one to try it out myself." Liu Jun was not angry, but felt it was as interesting as watching a show.

Jin Xiao walked towards the mezzanine in the wooden box and picked one for the craftsman.

The craftsman shot more than ten consecutive times, and it was still very smooth.

"Why do Beiyan's melee have so many problems?" Jin Xiao looked at Liu Jun, as if asking himself, or as if asking Liu Jun.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to be angry. This melee seems inconspicuous, but in fact there are many tricks in it." Liu Jun said with a smile.

In fact, like artillery, Dongzhou now has only a slight understanding of the principle of firearms, but more simply imitating it, only knowing its appearance, not its inside.

In addition, the lack of attention to firearms has led to countries including Rongchao and Beiyan often using pig iron forged barrels.

The consequence of using pig iron is that the barrel is thin and the barrel is too heavy.

This ultimately led to repeated problems with their mesh rope guns.

But this cannot be blamed on them, after all, in ancient times, the ability to smelteer iron was limited.

Crafted iron is much harder to refined than pig iron, and it must be repeatedly forged by pig iron.

Unlike Jingzhou, which can now refine cooked iron in batches, directly use cooked iron ingots to forge the barrel.

"That's right." Jin Xiao shook his head helplessly and finally accepted this reality.

Then he thought that even though he had learned the battle formation in Jingzhou.

At that time, Beiyan's firearms cannot exert their true power. If there is a problem in the battle, wouldn't they spend money to learn this battle formation?

So he said, "King Jing, can your Jingzhou's melee gun be sold?"

"Uh..." Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, then slightly excited.

Is the arms business coming like this?

After laughing twice, he said, "I am worried about not being able to sell the extra combs these days. If His Royal Highness needs it, we can provide it to Beiyan. But I don't know how much your Royal Highness needs?"

"It's estimated that 60,000 are needed." Jin Xiao calculated. In the early stage, he didn't want to buy too many mesh guns.

We have to wait until the battle formation will work in the future.

Liu Jun nodded, and 60,000 was enough to sell the convex gun that Jingzhou was about to be eliminated.

"I wonder how much silver this melee gun costs?" Jin Xiao asked again.

After pondering for a while, Liu Jun stopped.

When his father was there, the court sold a cow rope to Jingzhou by the court.

The level of the mesh rope gun is probably no different from that of Beiyan, and later he returned to the furnace and rebuilt it.

Therefore, his mezzanine must be sold for at least fifteen taels to be cost-effective.

After all, his gun barrels are all made of iron.

"Fifteen taels." Liu Jun said this number firmly.

Despite the improvement of technology, the cost of ripe iron in Jingzhou is almost the same as that of pig iron in other places.

But technical suppression is so arrogant.

In contemporary times, there are countless examples of exclusive technology that cost dozens of dollars and sell for hundreds of dollars.

Of course, he didn't need to hold the golden beans as carbon.

"Fifteen taels? It's a bit expensive, but such an excellent mesh can be worth the price." Jin Xiao said.

Sixty thousand comb-rope guns, only nine hundred thousand taels of silver, are nothing to Beiyan.

But if this firearm can be used to severely slash the aura of Beihu and Fuyu.

Then it's too worth it.

After admiring the mezzanine, Jin Xiao looked at the cannon again.

Seeing that Jingzhou's artillery is equally excellent, it also showed that it wanted to buy it.

But Liu Jun rejected his request.

The reason is very simple. He would not dare to sell such a powerful weapon to a big country before more advanced artillery appeared.

Otherwise, you will suffer the loss by then.

Although Jin Xiao was disappointed, she was not angry either.

If Jingzhou doesn’t sell it, he naturally has other choices.

Unfortunately, he couldn't know how powerful the artillery in Jingzhou was?

After leaving the workshop of the Craftsmanship Department, Liu Jun took Jin Xiao to the Industrial Department for a walk, and asked him to take a brief look at the spectacular scene of the workshop.

Leaving from Xinghua Garden, Jin Xiao was silent all the way.

When he returned to the palace, he signed a contract with Liu Jun to purchase a medley gun.

But when he saw the final payment of silver, he was stunned.

"The contrailer is not expensive, but this ammunition is quite expensive." Jin Xiao shook his head.

Of course, he also had to buy ammunition when buying a gun. This time he would pay more than 1.6 million taels of taels.

Nine hundred thousand is the combing gun, and seven hundred thousand is ammunition.

Liu Jun smiled treacherously, this is the real profit of the arms trade.

Especially in modern times, aircraft cannons are not sold at one size fits the whole thing.

Post-maintenance and maintenance are also a considerable cost.

Especially this ammunition, this is a consumable.

As long as you use it, it will be a continuous stream of silver.

"If the hometown of Beiyan is taken back, what is this little silver?" Liu Jun comforted Jin Xiao.

I guess he really hurts a little this time.

"I hope so." Jin Xiao sighed. He didn't know whether this cooperation with Jingzhou could bring real benefits.

But since they have chosen this strategy, they will inevitably have to pay some price.

No matter what, there is a Jingzhou that can control Fuyu Kingdom, which is always better than them fighting alone.

Otherwise, once the Fuyu Kingdom becomes bigger, it is not impossible for Northern Yan to fall into ruin.

After putting away the contract, Jin Xiao looked at Liu Jun again, feeling mixed feelings.

Everything he saw today was afraid that he would not be able to sleep tonight.

A small Jingzhou can actually build a firearm that is even better than that of Beiyan.

Magical goods are even more profitable.
