Chapter 26 Where there is money, there are weapons!
Saying that, Zhao Xi took out a banknote and placed it in front of Wang Hengyue. Wang Hengyue only glanced at it, and his eyes lit up.
A banknote worth thirty thousand taels!
Help when needed, help when needed!
We have our own people, but what we lack most now are weapons and money! With money, we can get any kind of weapons!
It is obvious that this is for him, but when dealing with these celebrities, he must not show any joy on his face. Wang Hengyue pretended to glance at him: "What does Xiang Gong mean?"
"Your Majesty Wang is loyal to the country and does not care about death. Now that he is training a new army, how can we not help him with all our strength? When your Majesty was recovering from his injuries, Zhao Xi convened the gentry of Rong County to discuss the matter. Zhao Xi took the lead in donating 20,000 yuan in silver.
Two, each gentry pledged donations one after another, and received a total of thirty thousand taels of silver. I am willing to help you!"
Having said this, Wang Hengyue was no longer polite. He stood up and bowed half-bow, regardless of the pain of the wounds on his body: "Heng Yue will bear in mind Mr. Xiang's righteousness! When the new army is trained, I will definitely invite Mr. Xiang to be present.
review!"
Zhao Xi was very proud when he thought that he had played a part in training the new army.
After sending Zhao Xi away, Wang Hengyue hurriedly called all his men over. Now that he had money, it was time to find a way to get weapons. The most beautiful way was to get an arsenal and produce weapons by himself, but this idea is a fantasy now.
They talked about where to get weapons and everything. Wang Hengyue listened carefully. Suddenly he slapped his head and shouted, which shocked his subordinates. They didn't know what happened to the captain.
"Fang Yun!" Wang Hengyue said to Yang Fangyun anxiously: "You will go back to Chengdu tomorrow and bring ten thousand, no, fifteen thousand taels, and then go to shopkeeper Qin and tell him to help me use these fifteen thousand taels.
With silver, you bought me all the white cloth you can buy in Chengdu!"
He spoke quickly, and Yang Fangyun took a while to identify and think before he understood what he said: "Sir, what do you want with so much white cloth?"
White cloth is usually of little use. Some small cloth shops may sell a piece of white cloth for a year or a half. At this time, Wang Hengyue made such an inexplicable request. No wonder Yang Fangyun was surprised.
"Don't worry, I'm going to make a big deal!" The more Wang Hengyue thought about it, the more proud he became: "Tell shopkeeper Qin that he must believe his brother's words and ask him to buy as much white cloth as possible, and all the spare money in his hand will turn into white cloth. Chengdu
If you are short, go to the neighboring prefectures and counties to buy. If Sichuan is short, go to Yunnan and buy any fine, medium or inferior white cloth. In short, buy as much as you can!"
Sir, you are crazy! This is the unanimous thought of Wang Hengyue’s men!
I'm afraid that after buying so much white cloth, I won't be able to use it in this lifetime! Fifteen thousand taels of silver, just wasted like this?
Wang Hengyue was still not at ease and repeated: "You must remember every word of the following words and tell shopkeeper Qin exactly. 'Brother Qin, no matter what, you have to handle this matter. I guarantee you will make a lot of money."
In the last transaction, even if the eldest brother doesn't want to buy goods, all the brothers' silver must be exchanged for white cloth. Even if there is no loss of a tael of silver, brothers will be grateful to you, thank you very much.'"
"Yes, I will tell Shopkeeper Qin exactly what you said!" Now that the master had made up his mind, Yang Fangyun said nothing more.
Wang Hengyue breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had an idea and came up with such a money-making idea. Now everyone regards himself as an idiot. In the future, everyone may regard themselves as geniuses.
After explaining the matter about Bai Bu, he turned the topic to weapons. Seeing everyone explain the methods one by one, Peter said calmly: "My lord, if you want weapons, it will be easy to handle."
"Oh, do you have any idea?" Wang Hengyue was surprised.
Pete looked proud: "My uncle Willy is a very big businessman. He does business in Chongqing and has an office in Chengdu. He deals in weapons. How much do you need?"
Wang Hengyue was stunned for a long time before he cursed: "Damn it, since you have such a relationship, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Peter spread his hands: "My lord had no money before, why should I say that? No money, no weapons. If you have money, you have weapons. Now that you have money, of course you have weapons. Moreover, you said before that you have two hundred sticks and
The same gun you use has to be shipped from the United States, are you bragging?"
"You, you bastard foreign devil!" Wang Hengyue was so angry that he laughed out loud. These foreigners really showed no mercy at all when doing business.
The word "doggy" made Pete think a lot: "I have two dogs at home in the United States, but I have nothing to do with them. I don't like dogs. I am not a doggy."
There was a "boom" and the people around burst into laughter.
Wang Hengyue couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, I'm convinced of you. Damn it! Fang Yun, you take Peter back to Chengdu. Peter, you invite the person in charge of your uncle's office to Rong County, and say that I have business to do with you."
Talk to him!"
"No problem!" Peter patted his chest and said, "Although your business is not big, we are very good friends. For your sake, I will bring you here."
Wang Hengyue was furious, I gave him business, but I owed Peter a favor?
But I can't offend this damn foreign devil now. I'll have to rely on him to negotiate the price of weapons in the future. And I only have so much money, so I have to buy weapons and make military uniforms, which may not be enough. If there is a shortage of money, it will be necessary.
It was up to Pete, his "best and best friend", to mediate the situation.
After thinking through this link, Wang Hengyue felt comfortable: "Everyone, we have some ideas about the weapons. When you return to the army, each platoon must step up training. Let's discuss together more and see how to practice. Liu Sihai is studying abroad.
When you return, you can ask him any questions you have. Another point is that military discipline is the most important. You must strictly monitor your subordinates and don't cause any trouble for me and be kicked out by the people of Rong County!"
"I will obey your orders!" the subordinates replied in unison.
Yu Lei suddenly asked: "Everyone, who is the captain of this first team?"
Everyone was startled, and Yu Lei said calmly: "Remember, the officer of the first team is Wang Hengyue. When we first came to Rong County, we didn't have any people or money. It was all done by Mr. Wang with his life."
, students, please keep this in mind. Others in our first team cannot interfere."
Everyone was silent, then nodded slowly.
Yu Lei suddenly came again, catching Wang Hengyue off guard.
Now he doesn't quite understand Yu Lei. Is this person shameless, or is he really loyal to him? Or maybe Yu Lei is planning some other ideas that he doesn't know about?
He shook his head slowly and put this thought aside for the time being!
