"My lord, your highness the prince is here." The soldiers at the door came to report.

Needless to say, Xiong Wuliang had already heard the shouts of Wangcai outside and Huang Xie's angry scolding.

Xiong Wuliang chuckled, it really made the unscrupulous young man feel refreshed that his own wealth could bully the future Chun Shenjun like this.

Soon, everyone came to the study room.

Prince Mi Heng praised: "In the battle of Hulukou, Wang Di's Quyang Army was really impressive. Even my prince's Imperial Army felt inferior. Their combat power was no less than that of the former Quyang Army!"

These were purely polite words, but Xiong Wuliang accepted them all: "Everywhere, they are all relying on some strange skills, how dare they compare with the imperial guards."

Xiong Wuliang could vaguely guess the purpose of Prince Mi Heng's visit.

Definitely not just here to congratulate myself on my victory.

The Chu State had a vast territory and a large population. Coupled with the political chaos and constant border frictions, there were numerous bandits within the territory.

Although the scale of a thousand bandits like this is not small, killing them is not a great achievement that would alarm the government and the public.

At least, in the eyes of the future heir to the throne, it must be just a trivial matter.

Then, it must be for Lian Nu.

Sure enough, Mi Heng said sternly: "Brother Wang, your repeating crossbow is not some fancy skill, it is a real work of magic weapon!"

"I want to get some repeating crossbows from Brother Wang, and take them back and equip them as the standard weapons of the Imperial Army of Chu. I wonder if Brother Wang can part with them?"

Xiong Wuliang was startled for a moment, and then he became happy!

What is most important to Quyang County today?

Of course it's an order!

Quyang County's production capacity is constantly expanding in a snowballing manner. Arrows and cloth, as Quyang County's trump card export products, are creating huge output values.

But these two things have little technical content, and the profits are naturally not too high.

So what is the most profitable thing?

America's brain exploded when she heard this: High-precision ordnance!

However, iron weapons such as Bailian swords and armors are difficult for Quyang County to keep for its own use, let alone sell them outside.

Some people say, can't we sell these things, use the money to buy more iron materials, and make a profit from the price difference?

It should be noted that the sale of iron ore is strictly restricted by various countries. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. If you sell iron products, you may not be able to get them back. Moreover, the sale of iron products to other countries is also expressly prohibited in Chu State.

Felony.

Although Xiong Wuliang has a distinguished status, he does not want to get into trouble.

As for the repeating crossbow - although this kind of thing is a good thing, once it is disassembled, the principle behind it is not complicated.

As long as the enemy country gets it, it can quickly produce a large number of imitations!

This magical weapon is different from consumables like arrows - Xiong Wuliang doesn't want it to be used by other countries.

In this era, there is no awareness of protecting property rights, and there is no such thing as patent fees.

But the imperial army sold to the prince was just right! It made money without letting Lian Nu fall into the hands of potential enemies!

"How many repeating crossbows do you want, Brother Wang?" Xiong Wuliang's eyes lit up.

If you look closely, you can see that Master Mi Liang's pupils have turned into the shape of copper coins.

"Yingdu has a thousand forbidden troops, plus five thousand city defense troops, let's count it as six thousand people." Mi Heng said carelessly: "I want six thousand hand-held repeating crossbows. I wonder when they can be built?"

Originally I just wanted to equip the Imperial Army with repeating crossbows.

But then I thought about it, there are still 5,000 city defense troops in Yingdu. If everyone can have one, wouldn't our Yingdu be impregnable?

As for the price of the Liannu, Mi Heng didn't take it seriously at all.

Xiong Wuliang's eyes shone and he reminded: "Brother Wang, this repeating crossbow is not easy to make. We can't let the efforts of my craftsmen in Quyang County go to waste!"

Mi Heng laughed twice: "You need to pay for buying and selling goods. Do you still want to explain this? Just make a list of the amount and send someone to the prince's house to withdraw it later."

Huang Xie, who was on the side, heard that the smell was not right, and interrupted with a dry cough: "Mr. Mi Liang, uh... let's talk about the number first."

After observing in Quyang County these days, this Xiong Wuliang is a guy who has no profit and cannot afford to get up late.

It is better to say that he is a big businessman than a big noble!

He is also a black-hearted profiteer.

He only thinks about how to get money into his fiefdom!

This Xiong Wuliang is obviously Xiong Wuliang!

Seeing the prince agreeing so decisively, Huang Xie had a vague premonition in his heart.

really.

Young Master Mi Liang counted on his fingers, with a businesslike expression on his face: "Let me think about it..."

"My repeating crossbow is not for sale. If Brother Wang hadn't asked for it, I would not have sold it anyway."

Prince Mi Heng nodded carelessly: "There is no reason to sell such sharp weapons to outsiders. Brother Wei knows that you are in trouble, so Brother Wang can just ask for the price."

Xiong Wuliang was overjoyed: "Ahem, a repeating crossbow only costs 100 yuan, and six thousand is 600,000 yuan."

"Equivalent to six thousand gold."

"Brother Wang, when do you think we will pick up the goods? I can work overnight to ensure quality and quantity!" Xiong Wuliang said, patting his chest.

It's time for our workers to work overtime.

What is the concept of six thousand gold?

In Quyang County before grain production increased significantly, the grain collected from farmers in a year was only worth a few hundred gold.

Even if Quyang County's agricultural production capacity has doubled today, six thousand gold is still an astronomical figure!

If this big deal is negotiated, it will be enough for Quyang County's farming income for ten years! With this windfall, Xiong Wuliang can purchase iron materials at any cost, quickly expand his Quyang army, and make a profit in the great war.

Big pen!

"Huh?" Huang Xie was confused. He thought he heard wrong for the first time: "How much did you say?"

Xiong Wuliang: "Six thousand gold..."

Huang Xie laughed angrily: "You evil-hearted person, six thousand gold? Why don't you go and grab it? Do you know what six thousand gold is?"

Young Master Mi Liang blushed.

In terms of cost, these repeating crossbows are only worth ten cents each.

After all, the raw materials are all wood, only a small part of the bow body needs mulberry wood, and the other parts are all broken wood, so the bow string is worth some money.

Today's processing factories are very skilled in producing this stuff. In Quyang County, even the militiamen are equipped with repeating crossbows.

The lion asked for a hundred dollars, which was indeed a bit cruel.

Even Prince Mi Heng, who never knew the value of money, was stunned: "Six thousand gold? I may not have that much money in my treasury..."

Xiong Wuliang said plausibly: "Imagine that six thousand repeating crossbows can fire sixty thousand arrows in an instant!"

"What kind of scene is this?"

"With these six thousand repeating crossbows, the capital city of Ying can be said to be impregnable! Even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops besieging Ying, it will be difficult to defeat it easily!"

Huang Xie sighed: "Stop talking nonsense!"

If the Chu State was reduced to the point where hundreds of thousands of troops attacked the capital of Ying, it would probably be close to being destroyed.

Xiong Wuliang smiled coquettishly: "In short, using six thousand gold to ensure that the royal city is not lost is definitely a good deal."

"In this way, for the sake of our deep brotherhood, I will suffer some losses."

"Five thousand gold, only five thousand gold! If you can't buy it, you'll suffer a loss, and you can't buy it if you're cheated!"

"If Brother Wang doesn't have enough money, you can send over slaves, food and corn, cloth and brocade, lacquerware and ancient swords... anything will do!"
