Chapter 21 The First Arms Business 2
The next thing is *. It is impossible for Yu Xiaotian to sell their own southern Japanese twill torch to Yan Siqi. At present, in this era, no matter where it is, it is absolutely an advanced weapon. It belongs to their secret weapon and cannot be easily given to others!
Unless Yu Xiaotian got a rifle next, he would not sell this thing to others now.
So he made the gun to build a batch of arson guns for Yan Siqi. The caliber is slightly smaller than the southern Japanese flinch rifle they used, but slightly larger than the bird rifle used by the Ming army, and the length of the barrel is also reduced by three inches, so that the effective range cannot exceed the effective range of the wolf's own flinch gun. The outer barrel wall is slightly thinner, and the process is also reduced. For example, the process of baling the inner wall of the barrel is built in a simple way.
In a word, * is an absolute monkey version, which is one level worse than the sea wolf's own tamphibit. Of course, safety is still necessary. At least it is necessary to ensure that each gun can fire more than 100 rounds. This quality is much better than some bird guns on land, but 200 trich guns used by sea wolf Compared with the tube life, it is still worse.
For such a request, the gun craftsman immediately agreed and produced this monkey version* according to Yu Xiaotian's requirements, ready to be used by Yan Siqi, but the quantity was also discounted, only 120 pieces were sold to them, and the supply time would take about a month.
In addition, in terms of price, the original price of a No. 3 gun was 1,000 taels of silver, a monkey version of No. 5 gun was 2,000 taels of silver, the price of the old tiger squat gun was 200 taels of silver, and the price of the old extermination gun was 400 taels of silver, one * 41 taels.
This price is the price discussed by Yu Xiaotian and his men before. It is absolutely not cheap, and the profit can be guaranteed to be more than 300 percent. However, because the sea wolf has not had spare productivity to carry out arms trade before, this matter has been delayed. This price is also priceless and there is no marketable at all.
But even at this price, it can't be too expensive on the black market in this era, because pirates have a great demand for artillery and *. Except for a few places in Qinzhou, Guangxi, Foshan, Guangdong, Zhangzhou, Fujian and other places, there are underground workshops that are secretly built and then * given to pirates, the only way for pirates is Purchased from the Thais, whether it is Spanish, Portuguese or even Dutch, they all know that this is a big business and the price is very high.
The price of these black market transactions is only high or low compared with the original price of sea wolves, and they can't meet their needs at all. Not to mention the quality, these simple cannons are not comparable to the cannons produced by sea wolves. Even the monkey version is definitely much more than them.
For those Europeans, the Ming Dynasty is a gold-absorbing cave. Most of the people of the Ming Dynasty still live a small peasant economy, which is basically self-sufficient. The circulation of goods is far from as large as later generations think, especially ordinary farmers, who have no purchasing power, even some small landlords. I also live this kind of self-sufficient life, and the demand for goods is very small.
Zhao Mazi shook his head as soon as he heard this and said, "This is your fault. You know, in order to help you this time, our big boss even asked the cannons in use on our ship to tear down for you!
In order to make up so many cannons, the brothers of our fleet are about to fall out! The big man forced his brothers to make these cannons for you, and let us do nothing and work for you this month!
You know, it's not easy to cast a cannon. It's lucky to cast 30%! And as you know, there is nothing we want here. Iron and charcoal have to be transported from the land. We are so nervous with the government now, and we don't have enough iron on hand.
These craftsmen who are invited more have paid a lot of money. You know, the cannons we cast are all Western cannons, and the craftsmen invited are not ordinary craftsmen. Don't compare our cannons with those rags on land.
It's just the price. If you don't want it, double it again. I guess some people want it!"
Chen Xun was anxious as soon as he heard it and said quickly, "I know! It's not that I think it's expensive. At present, we really can't take out so much cash! When I came down, I didn't expect it to be so expensive! I hope the big master can raise his hand and make a little more concession!"
After listening to this, Yu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Brother Chen, this matter is easy to say. Well, you haven't had a chance to see whether our cannons are expensive or not. It's not too late to take a look at the goods first! If you look at our things and still think it's expensive, how about it then?
When Chen Xun heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said yes. For a long time, they had only heard that the sea wolf's cannon was powerful, but they had never had a chance to take a closer look.
Yu Xiaotian took the boat to their place twice, but the rest of the sea wolf's boat could not get on it at all. The sea wolves on the ship were very tight, and the cannons were also covered with oil cloth. Their cannons could not be seen at all. Those who really saw their cannons were the ones who were against them, but they were beaten very badly beaten by the sea wolves.
Chen Xun and Yan Siqi have long been curious about the sea wolf's cannon, but they have never found an opportunity to see what is good about the sea wolf's cannon. Today, they have talked about this level. He hasn't seen the goods yet, and he can't explain it when he goes back! So when Yu Xiaotian said he wanted to show him the goods first, Chen Xun quickly agreed, followed Yu Xiaotian and walked out of the stockade.
The sea wolf used to have a test gun field on Nanri Island, but later there was too much movement here. After the number of immigrants increased, they closed the test gun field here and transferred the test gun field to a small island north of Nanri Island, which is uninhabited, so they can toss around as much as they want.
Yu Xiaotian did not let Chen Xun watch the cannons on the wall of the village, but casually chose a ship moored on the dock, boarded Chen Xun, and immediately sailed out of the bay of the wolf cave village and headed for the sea.
At this time, someone uncovered the gun coat of a cannon on the ship and exposed a six-pound cannon below. Chen Xun immediately rushed up and looked up and down like a wolf smelled blood. He quickly lay on the cannon and couldn't help touching the cannon with his hand.
