Yang Tinghe's heart sank, and he replied: "The Soul-Chasing Gun is complicated in technology. All you need is good steel. You also need to rifle the car, which is the most labor-intensive. It costs about 100 taels of silver!"

Han Wen bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, the Jinling Gun Factory supplies the imperial court's soul-chasing gun pattern silver, but the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is as high as 25 taels more than the Jinling Gun Factory. Your Majesty, the New Division has more than 30,000 people, and at least 10,000 soul-chasing guns. This is 250,000 taels of silver! I think it's better to buy it than to make it!"

This is the tacit understanding between civil officials. Liu Daxia pulled out a little thread at will, and Korean could pull out a big tiger from the thread. Is this a serious problem? Of course it is serious! Zhu Houzhao never expected that the gap in the counterfeiting of soul-chasing guns between the Jinling Gun Factory in Jiangnan and the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau was so big! It was so big that the Xuanfu border army could be maintained for one year!

Yang Ting and Khan emerged, the amount was so huge. Those who knew the inside story knew that the price difference caused by craftsmanship and scale. Those who didn't know thought they were doing it, and they were very greedy. He couldn't sit still and quickly stood up: "The machine tool originated from King Wu, and all the machine tools of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau came from Jiangnan. The cost of this soul-chasing gun is determined by scale, wages, and mechanical level. The industrial level of Jiangnan is higher than that of Beijing, and the cost of this soul-chasing gun is naturally much smaller than that of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau. But sirs, if the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau does not catch up, when will it be able to catch up with Jiangnan? If there is no chance to practice, wouldn't the court be controlled by Jiangnan?"

Han Wen shook his head: "The reason is this, but the price difference is too big and the court can't afford it! I think this is the case. If you practice one-third of the orders of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, the court can lose less, and the new division can form combat effectiveness earlier."

Yang Tinghe was anxiously about to refute, but Ma Wensheng nodded in agreement with Han Wen: "Okay! Lord Han proposed to be very mature and steadfast, taking into account the progress of the machinery manufacturing bureau, and saving the court such a huge amount of silver. You can also see the attitude of the King of Wu towards the court."

Li Dongyang also smiled and nodded: "What I said is, meddleman, you don't have to hurry up. Everyone knows your difficulties and the importance of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau to the court. But if you can save money, you should be careful!"

Yang Tinghe had no choice but to say yes, Zhu Houzhao smiled and comforted: "Menman, don't worry! Your main energy is to expand the scale now. Master Li, can you add a portion of the budget to the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau?"

】

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, okay, who told me that I just said it? Another 100,000 taels!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, and was about to praise Li Dongyang, but Ma Yongcheng hurried in: "Long live the prince, Jinon Balsborough of the little prince and Zhu Shanqing beside the King of Wu have entered the pass!"

Everyone was stunned, and Zhu Houzhao asked, "How many people?"

"Five hundred people!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. What could the five hundred people do? It would be better if the northern invaders went south to collude with the King of Wu!

Zhu Houzhao also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask easily: "I remember what Balsborot Wei's name was Ga Nao? What did he do when he entered the pass?"

Ma Yongcheng said hesitantly: "I didn't fully understand, I just heard intermittently that they were going to sea!"

Going out to sea? Ma Wensheng's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Okay! What a king of Wu!" Everyone's eyes were all focused on him. Ma Wensheng shook his head in praise: "So amazing! Your Majesty, the King of Wu is very clear about the meaning of the new Penglai. Most of the new Penglai is grassland, so we must completely solve the border problems!"

Ga Nao asked Zhu Shanqing worriedly: "Brother Zhu, isn't this okay? Jinling is thousands of miles away from here. What if... what is it?"

Zhu Shanqing smiled contemptuously and shook his head: "Our family has already sent a letter to inform the prince. I guess the brothers of the Inspection Department have been dispatched. What are you afraid of?"

Ga Nao sighed: "Your Han family is very powerful infighting. Otherwise, there would be no incident where the grassland people entered the pass? I am afraid that Zhu Houzhao will send out a large army, and our few manpower will not be enough!"

Zhu Shanqing shook his head: "You don't know the prince's nature. If the emperor offends the prince, the prince will not be angry. If the emperor attacks us, the prince, haha, he won't spoil him."

Ga Nao obviously didn't believe that Hua Houwei would turn against the emperor for a eunuch or for his past rival. He forced himself to nod: "I hope this is the case!"

This time, the Jinyiwei was dispatched to intercept 500 people, which was an unattainable target for the East Factory, especially without the help of the local government's power. Qian Ning personally took action and led the Jinyiwei's core forces to Jingxing.

After the small dynasty meeting in Wenhua Palace ended, Zhu Houzhao received a report from Ma Yongcheng and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I am still at ease with Qian Ning to do things. Except for Ga Nao and Zhu Shanqing, the rest are alive and dead!"

After Yuci, Zhu Shanqing took Ga Nao straight to Shouyang. After passing Beiheliu, Jinyiwei stopped them in Yangquan!

Zhu Shanqing looked at Ga Nao with such anger. He snorted coldly: "Listen to the official army in front, our family doesn't want to talk nonsense to you, don't want to die and get out of here!"

The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi walked up to accompany him and smiled: "Father-in-law, we are also responsible, otherwise the guys who eat will not be protected. There are many grandpas, please wait a moment. If a hundred households come, you can leave, don't make things difficult for the younger ones."

Zhu Shanqing had a blue face and took out the rotary hand gun and shot it at the foot of the small flag: "Get out! I only said it once, and I will nag again, hum! The gun in my hand is no matter what the Jinyiwei is or Jinyiwei!"

The little flag didn't dare to say anything else, but waved his hand and made a clear way, bowed and smiled: "I dare not, don't dare, father-in-law, as long as I stop a little, I will have no responsibility, father-in-law will take it more!"

Facing the hob meat, Zhu Shanqing had no good idea. He could only turn around and leave in anger, and became highly alert.

"Brother Zhu, there is the Madam's Pass ahead. I guess I'm afraid something will happen if I pass Madam's Pass!"

Shanxi has many mountains and rivers and passes. If you want to go south, you either go to the Party or Fenglingdu, or Niangzi Pass. Apart from these places, there is no way out. Zhu Shanqing was a little hesitant for a while, but if you change to the Party, you will not talk about detours, and Jinyiwei can also intercept it at any time. It would be better to take a risk and go out of the mountainous area from Niangzi Pass Jingxing. At that time, you can walk from Hebei or Henan.
