Chapter 830 Persuasion (Part 2)
Then, we also have supporters here, and we are also very energetic father, smiled faintly: "Although Gao's words are reasonable, I don't think so. If I refuse because of a little difficulty, this does not seem to be the style of my Tang Dynasty, nor does it mean that your Majesty's style."
Uncle Li smiled and nodded slightly, but he didn't say anything. He casually glanced at the four important officials who had not spoken yet. Changsun Wuji agreed with Mr. Gao's opinion. After Li Daozong hesitated for a moment, he actually agreed with Mr. Gao's opinion. Uncle Li Ji stood on Li Jing's side, and only the old man was silent.
The old man closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the couch, not seeming to see anyone looking at him, and continued to nod his head slowly at the information in his hand.
Uncle Li couldn't hold it in the first place: "Old Old Fang, I want to hear your opinion."
"Your Majesty, I think it's better to listen to the opinions of the person in charge first. After all, he has had many interactions with the Persian prince and the envoys of Central Asian countries in the past few days. I think he should have some opinions or suggestions." The old man turned his eyes, nodded slightly to Uncle Li, and then looked at me.
The old man also put everyone's attention and eyes on me with one word. Uncle Li smiled softly: "Yes, it seems that I am too impatient. Son-in-law, please tell me your opinion."
"I obey the order." After receiving the order respectfully, I stood up and saluted the old ministers: "Your Majesty, you all, you may have any false statements at your order. Please ask all the great masters and your majesty if you have any questions. You must do your best to answer them."
Seeing that no one objected, the first thing I raised was the issue of weapons trading. First, according to the real estate capacity of the Tang Wushen Institute, it can completely replace all the local equipment of the Tang Dynasty's military forces within ten years. However, what if the replacement is completed? Does the Wushen Institute no longer exist? It is impossible, but the court spends a lot of money every year to research and develop and produce new weapons at the Wushen Institute. If there is only output, there is no profit. This is something that any businessman or even a state agency does not want to see, so it is imperative to sell weapons.
------------------------------------------------
"Well, what you said is a bit reasonable. Most of the military supplies in the Tang Dynasty are produced by the Wushang Institute. Every year, the investment from the court to the Wushang Institute, if raw materials, figures, freight costs, etc. is added. As for the need for 1.5 million guan, although the local tax of the Tang Dynasty has been rising steadily in recent years, such a high investment has been criticized by the size of the Wushang Institute and suggested that the court reduce the scale and expenses of the Wushang Institute. Some people even believe that the Tang Military Academy invests hundreds of thousands of guan every year, which is also a useless contribution. All the troops in the world can train themselves, so why do you need this courtyard?" The old man spoke first.
"Hmph, they are all short-sighted people, or ulterior motives. If someone really impeached my Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty, this person has a strange intention. Please kill him!" Uncle Li Jing suddenly opened his mouth with a glaring voice. "Don't worry, my dearest friend, I know in my heart. I have already scolded those who dare to impeach my Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty. Military Academy is not only my intention, but also the foundation of the establishment of the state and army for thousands of years of our Tang Dynasty. No one can stop him!" Uncle Li said the last sentence in a sinister and cruel manner.
Uncle Li is definitely not joking or comforting Uncle Li Jing. Now, it is impossible to see that the Tang Military Academy has almost all blind people for the country's education and mastery of the army. Uncle Li and the civil and military officials of the court are definitely not, but this does not mean that some people with dissatisfaction and ulterior motives are resistant and resistant to the academy. These people clearly want to be self-respecting, and hope that their soldiers will only obey their orders, not the court. But how could Uncle Li tolerate such people?
From the 19th year of Zhenguan to the present, Uncle Li has sought countless excuses to replace no less than ten people with border guards in the Tang Dynasty, in order to punish some people's opposition and resistance to the rotation of officers. These middle and lower-level generals are the backbone who truly grasps the will of the Tang Dynasty's military power. The Tang Dynasty Military Academy happens to be the starting point for transporting these fresh blood. With the Tang Dynasty Military Academy, the Tang Dynasty can eliminate the possibility of future vassal states, Jiedushi and other senior military personnel in the Tang Dynasty's future vassal states, the Jiedushi, and other senior military personnel in the Tang Dynasty have taken over the possibility of self-respecting themselves.
But at this time, Mr. Gao said to me: "Mr. Xiaofang, how can you guarantee that those who obtain my Tang Dynasty's weapons will not fight against me? How can you guarantee that the technology of my Tang Dynasty Wushu Research Institute will not be leaked, especially gunpowder, because I saw that there are not only ordinary weapons on this list, but also gunpowder weapons such as grenades."
Mr. Gao's words also made Uncle Li frown and squinted at me. What should I look at? Since I dare to do this,
There is some support. "My elder, the gunpowder ratio of grenades and ammunition are compared. After a long period of research, the old craftsmen of the Wushang Institute and the ministers of the Wushang Institute have been revised. The secrets of the masters do not need to be explained one by one. However, the Wushang Institute once conducted such a set of experiments to allow dozens of senior craftsmen of the Ministry of Works who had just come to the Wushang Institute to crack these gunpowder that we carefully prepared. It took nearly a year for them to gain nothing, and even the things they prepared cannot even burn." I am proud that gunpowder is no longer as good as in later generations or in the Song and Yuan dynasties. Now, not many people in the world can know what gunpowder is, and there are even fewer people who know the composition. As for those who know the best ratio, there will be no more than ten people in the Tang Dynasty.
Zhong stood up and distributed the tests of the old craftsmen in his hands for more than a year. The important officials and Uncle Li explained: "Our Wujian Institute has provided the most advanced equipment and facilities for these old craftsmen, but it still cannot break the formula of gunpowder. Therefore, I also think that even if the gunpowder specially made by our Wujian Institute falls into the hands of the enemy, even if they want to imitate it, they cannot imitate it at all, unless they have accurate gunpowder formulas in their hands."
In addition, this sale and Gentile gunpowder have not only been re-formulated, but also weakened its power.
Uncle Li also looked at the information handed out by the clock in his hand in detail. After reading it for a long time, he pondered for a while before he looked up at me and said, "What are you going to do?"
"There are some wooden equipment that is useless to my Tang Dynasty, such as crossbows, chariots, trenchers, catapults, etc. I can sell samples and drawings of my Tang Dynasty, but I don't send craftsmen. In addition, among the standard weapons, my Tang Dynasty's sabers, round shields and horizontal swords are the most sought after by envoys from these thousands of miles of land, and grenades, ammunition and other objects are something that the Persian princes are eager for. I think these sales are not a big deal. As for knives, the hundreds of refiners are for sale, they cannot be sold for sale. As for round shields, chain armor and armor, some can also be sold. The lower officials have calculated that the cost of a fifty refiner of my Tang Dynasty is about 700 yuan per cent, and I am planning to sell twenty coins."
------------------------------------------------

"The cost is 700 yuan, and it sells twenty yuan?" Uncle Li whispered, and he started to make his fingers and gesture, then looked up at me. "Son-in-law, are they willing to sell your way of doing this?" Not to mention Uncle Li, even the old ministers next to him also raised their ears. Nonsense, they heard that selling weapons can be so many times more. How could they not worry about it?
"I will definitely want it! Although there are skilled craftsmen in Persia. The Uz scimitar they created is comparable to the Blade of the Tang Dynasty's Hundred Refinings, it takes a lot of time. It takes about two months for a smelting iron ore to bend and bent." I nodded and affirmed: "And the assembly line production method of the Tang Dynasty, a scimitar of a scimitar or a scimitar, takes only ten days, and the daily output will not be less than two hundred. The difference is different. As for fifty refinings, you can get the finished product in six or seven days."
"My dear nephew is right. What the Persians lack is time. They have to buy it. I once bought a sword made of Uzi Steel. The effort it took was indeed amazing and it was okay to play with it. If it was a war, producing swords at such speed would be just a drop in the bucket." When Uncle Li Ji mentioned Uzi Steel, a sour smell always sprayed in his mouth. How could the people next to him not know what it meant, and Uncle Cheng's shameless smile would appear in his mind.
As for the steel crossbow, I also told the key points to these Tang tycoons, and finally I made a summary: "If these equipment and standard weapons can be sold, at least in the next two years, it will be able to achieve a profit of 5 million yuan for our Tang Dynasty."
