Gu Lina thought Li Zhen's idea was feasible, but it was a bit unpalatable.
These two twins are really lucky!
Gu Lina leaned behind Li Zhen, her breasts squeezed Li Zhen's back, she put her hands around Li Zhen's waist, and said softly: "No wonder you don't come to accompany me, it turns out there are two exotic girls hiding in the house.
Twins. General, how does it feel to have two twins accompanying you? How about I also find a pair of twins, and I will accompany you with them. Let you experience the strange feeling."
The corners of Li Zhen's lips curled up, secretly saying that Gu Lina's ideas were really advanced.
This is more than double flying!
Li Zhen said with a serious look: "Gu Lina, the twins were given to me by Ali Guo, but I have not touched them. So far, I have not even touched them with my fingers. Alas, they are also two poor people.
, I can’t take advantage of others’ danger.”
"really?"
Gu Lina didn't believe it and felt that even a saint would be unstable.
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Although your man is not a good person, he still has basic principles."
Gu Lina smiled and said: "My man is naturally the best."
Li Zhen said with a smile: "You are in the arms business, and Sister Alice is in the ordinary business. This is the real business." Regarding the fields that Alice needs to cover, Li Zhen thinks that the market will be bigger, because it is not only Shanghai.
, will affect Jiangsu, Nanjing, Guangzhou, and even all over the country. These places will set off a storm caused by underwear. The two of them lingered for a while before eating together.
After dinner, Li Zhen returned to the topic of weapons and said, "Gulina, can we still get cannons?"
Gu Lina shook her head and said: "Not yet, muskets are easy, but artillery is difficult to transport. Most of the artillery sales are in the hands of powerful people. It is difficult for me to occupy a large share just by virtue of my reputation as a countess.
.”
Li Zhen said: "In this case, we can only wait. Hope it's not too late."
At this moment, Li Zhen's mood became a little heavy.
Li Zhen has been counting the time, and it is now the fourth year of Xianfeng. Starting from this year, the Second Opium War has actually begun, but it is still in the stage of various wranglings. Britain, France and the United States have been seeking to amend the treaty, and there is no need for it for the time being.
A war will be launched. This year will be the year for Li Zhen to vigorously develop his strength, otherwise it will be difficult to change the outcome of the Second Opium War.
For Li Zhen, military industry, commerce, etc. must be developed in Shanghai to increase strength.
Gu Lina rolled her eyes and asked, "What's too late?"
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Nothing happened!"
Gu Lina did not ask further questions, and she and Li Zhen had some private words.
Li Zhen left Gu Lina's residence, returned to the house, and went directly to the study.
Li Zhen asked someone to find a pencil and used it to outline the pattern of the new underwear. After he was ready, he entered Alice and Gu Yili's yard. Li Zhen excitedly placed the underwear he had just drawn on the table and said, "You want
Business, arms, mining, etc. are all out of reach, so your buyers start with women.”
Gu Yili stared at the drawing, her cheeks suddenly blushed, and she whispered: "Why does this picture look similar to underwear? However, this can only cover the breasts, but not the rest. It's too little."
Li Zhen said: "This is very useful. You two find a reliable foreign woman who can speak Chinese to help you, and then find some reliable tailors to make such underwear and sell it. As long as you build a reputation, it will definitely become popular.
.”
Alice nodded and said: "Thank you, General!"
Li Zhen took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and placed it on the table, saying: "Here are one hundred thousand taels of silver notes, which I will give to you as the starting capital. If the money is not enough, come to me again."
But Alice kept saying: "Enough, enough, enough!"
Li Zhen said: "Underwear is one piece, and I think perfume is also good. You know that the scent of lavender is good, why not get some rose perfume? Or some other plant perfume? Just blend it slowly and adjust the smell.
It comes out. It may be rich, light, or long-lasting, which is definitely a way to attract money.”
Gu Yili said: "General, you are so powerful."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "The money and methods are entrusted to you. Next, it's up to you."
With a firm look on her face, Alice said with certainty: "General, don't worry, my sister and I will not let down the general's cultivation."
Li Zhen said: "It's good if you have something to do. Now that it's done, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After saying that, Li Zhen strode out of the room and left Alice and Gu Yili's yard.
Alice glanced at Li Zhen's back resentfully and sighed in her heart.
Gu Yili had a look of reluctance as she watched Li Zhen's back gradually disappear. However, both of them quickly adjusted and worked hard for the next thing, both wanting to do something great.
Li Zhen returned to his study and returned to the construction of the army.
Now, the army has begun to formalize, but its strength is not enough.
In this era, military power is king.
Li Zhen knew that if you have a gun, you are a grass-headed king, and it was impossible to give up training soldiers. Li Zhen began to think about increasing the number of troops and wanted to further strengthen his strength. Not to mention expanding the number of troops to 10,000, but at least forming another battalion.
There are three thousand people together. With three thousand musketeers, it is already a very powerful team.
Historically, during the Second Opium War, more than a thousand British troops easily captured Guangzhou. Such a situation showed that the Qing Dynasty was weak, but it also showed the arrogance of the British. For several days,
Li Zhendu was planning the construction of the army and even wrote a drill outline.
In the outline, some training methods of Li Zhen's later generations were listed, such as goose-stepping, standing in military posture, long-distance running and other things, all of which were used to train soldiers so that they could have higher quality.
Outside the study, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Seeing that there was no sound, Li Zhen frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
"General, it's us."
Alice's voice came from outside the study.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhen said: "The door is not closed, come in." With a creak, the door opened, and Gu Yili and Alice walked in one after another. Although they were still as beautiful as flowers, they both had beautiful eyes.
They were bloodshot, a little haggard, and had a troubled look on their faces. However, their chests were much higher than before, and the weapons on their chests were highlighted, making them turbulent and eye-catching.
Li Zhen asked: "What's wrong?"
Alice said: "My sister and I followed the general's method and found ten reliable tailors and foreigners who could speak Chinese. Everything was ready, and hundreds of sets were made according to the drawings given by the general.
Underwear. However, when we sell it in a rented store outside, apart from those who look at it, few people are willing to buy it. So far, there have been no more than five."
Gu Yili's eyes were red and she was very sad.
When Li Zhen heard this, he laughed and said, "It's just a matter of promotion. This is actually very simple."
Alice's eyes sparkled and she asked: "General, is there anything you can do?"
