When Liu Bianque and Miao Xiuxiu left the palace first, Jing Hedi recruited Liu Mingqi in again.

At first, the emperor was still stern, "Why are you talking to others everywhere? Can't I really give birth to it?"

Liu Mingqi didn't care and said with a smile: "Isn't this the miracle doctor back? I'll let him show you. Isn't it a good thing?"

"Go and go, you will know that it's so troublesome all day long!" The emperor scolded him while taking the tea handed over by Zhao Shou.

After opening the lid, the boy smelled a scent of medicine, "What is this? The prescription Liu Bianque prescribed for you?"

"Well, this is a drink from soaking water, and there is also a bunch of Chinese medicine. I have to give me a needle every day to recuperate." Jing Hedi said while drinking, "I have a hard life!"

He said that, but his expression was smiling, and he was obviously very satisfied.

He even heard of Liu Bianque's reputation, but before that Liu Bianque was erratic, he couldn't invite Liu Bianque directly. In addition, he was so busy that he forgot about this matter.

As a result, he didn't need to ask now, and Liu Mingqi brought him.

This filial piety is really good!

If this time still doesn't work, why don't Mingqi be the prince?

That little guy Mingguan is so active, it’s very uncomfortable!

This thought just flashed and the emperor immediately abandoned it.

no.

I must let my son ascend the throne as emperor, and Mingqi and Mingguan can only be his good assistants!

After thinking about it, Jing Hedi changed the topic and said, "Have you agreed on the business with the Chen family? Have you chosen the staff?"

"Yes!"

Liu Mingqi said, "In addition to the fifty guards who returned from bloody battles, I also selected two thousand teenagers about sixteen years old to go, plus the thousand scoops on Miao Yan's side, they are the seeds of my Dakang Navy."

Emperor Jing He was not very interested in the navy, but he still hated pirates.

If there weren't so many pirates helping the Japanese, it would be impossible for the Japanese to land in Fujian, and then burn, kill and loot all the way, causing more than one million people to be displaced and hundreds of thousands of casualties, causing huge losses to Dakang.

So this is the first time the Chen family went to sea to find pirates to practice, which is something he likes very much.

For this reason, he also sent an edict to Miao Yan, asking him to draw a thousand elite soldiers to Liu Mingqi.

You should know that Miao Yan's 30,000 canal soldiers are now left with more than 10,000, and he also needs to be transferred everywhere to others to train a new defensive army, so it is very in short supply.

Liu Mingqi wants another thousand people to leave, which is like cutting the flesh of Miaoyan.

Miao Yan would probably be reluctant if it wasn't for Emperor Jing and Emperor himself.

Speaking of which, Liu Mingqi was quite sighing.

It was a huge challenge for me to recruit some people, but Miao Yan recruited 50,000 new cannon soldiers in Yiwu in one breath. As a result, the court did not say nonsense and even gave encouragement.

Jiangnan Governor Liu Renhuai expressed his joy even more.

After all, with such 50,000 people guarding Huaian, Jiangsu can rest assured.

As soon as he was thinking about it, Emperor Jing He mentioned the relevant matter: "You Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Yi's Mansion... have you started training with such five Prince's Mansions?"

"here we go."

Liu Mingqi said first: "It is better to follow the special forces model I wrote, and at the same time make them familiar with the "Qi Jiguang Array", and Mingjing and my personal bodyguards will train."

The personal bodyguard refers to the remaining twenty-one people. Although they are more or less disabled, they have no problems in daily life and no problems in training people.

The reason why the five guards from the royal palace trained together is that the more than 200 guards and the Royal Rugby team brought out by Liu Mingqi were so powerful that they were simply sweeping away the Japanese slaves and Shiwei people.

Although only a few dozen people were left to come back in the end, they had first-class military achievements.

If it weren't for their commanders, Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing, each of them would be more than enough to be a baron.

Such a powerful guard team, of course other royal palaces want it too.

Originally, Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing were going to train for Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Yi's Mansion. Now that the remaining three uncles and uncles have joined the royal palace guards, it can be considered by the way.

The number of guards trained together reached one thousand, with 200 people in each palace.

This amount is tolerated by the emperor and the court, and it is also a powerful force that can protect the family.

If there are more, it may be a bit taboo.

There is no need for everyone to rebel, so naturally they won’t ask for more.

So overall, this is a happy thing for everyone.

As for the Qianniuwei and Yulinwei, the issue of the fact that they also have to receive training at the same time, but they still have to wait until Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin come back in the past few days.

Because they are legitimate imperial guards, they are in charge of training, but better than Liu Mingjing is not a matter of ability, but a different identity.

no way.

Dakang has many things to pay attention to.

Emperor Jing He also knew this, and he said: "These training methods are indeed good, but they are too expensive. Only your royal palace can bear it. Even the Yulin Guard and Qianniu Guard must be weakened to train!"

The first batch of special forces guards trained by Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing were the one hundred thousand Niu Guards and two hundred Yulin Guards retreated.

Their food, drink and various training equipment were provided by Liu Mingqi.

When they arrived on the battlefield, they all had various weapons, individual combat equipment, etc., and they were also armed by Liu Mingqi to their teeth.

If this method is small-scale training, it would be fine. If it is done on a large scale, training one soldier is equivalent to cultivating five imperial guards, which is really unworthy.

"In a few years, our Dakang will become better and better, and the money will be more and more abundant, so we can still retrain it." Liu Mingqi smiled, "But you don't have to worry. Not to mention anything else, our 20,000 special forces soldier costs half of each burden of the court and the Southwest Governor's Office. The Yu Palace will borrow interest-free first to buy the weapons and equipment from the Yu Palace Workshop for them, so there is no hurry."

"hehe!"

Jing Hedi glared at him with a slight smile, "You guys have made a fortune this time, right?"

"Small money, just small money." Liu Mingqi called out.

He knew that the emperor would never think that they made too much money and became dissatisfied.

In fact, Jinghe Diba's family members were obsessed with doing business and did not interfere with anything in the court.

"Your Prince Yu's Mansion has you, but you will be worry-free for dozens of generations." Jing Hedi remembered another thing, "Your hand cannon has passed their test and can be distributed to the Chen family fleet... In the future, they will have to go to sea for this thing?"

"In theory, this is the case." Liu Mingqi said, "Your Majesty, look, isn't this another way of wealth? The better the sea trade business, the wider the wealth of the court will be. Maybe it can be comparable to sea trade and commercial tax!"

Wood-handled grenades must be used only by the military. Although the procurement cost is a little expensive, no matter the civil and military ministers, even the poor Ministry of Revenue, they grit their teeth and insist on buying more wooden-handled grenades, which are constantly being exported to or are preparing to export to important frontier towns.

The remaining weakened wooden grenade newly developed by Liu Mingqi, which is what he calls the "hand cannon", is only one-fifth of the power of the wooden grenade, and the explosion killing range is only two meters in a radius.

This hand cannon cannot be sold directly to others. It is manufactured by Prince Yu's Mansion and sold to the court, and then the court will sell it to the merchants who go out to the sea.

For example, when the Chen family went to sea, it was the first to use it. They had to apply to the Governor's Office of Jiangnan. Only after obtaining permission could they buy the number of hand cannons based on the size of the fleet and the distance of the navigation.

This makes it a bit funny.

The Chen family’s business is actually from Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Hand cannons were also made by Prince Yu’s mansion.

It is equivalent to leveraging the right hand with the left hand, but you can't give it to yourself. There must be a middleman to make the difference.

But this is the best for Dakang as a whole.

A weapon with a powerful lethality like a hand cannon must be monitored by the state to ensure that there is no problem. Otherwise, the whole society will be in chaos, just like the United States, and you will never be able to confirm that after entering the hotel room, the beauty took out a condom from her bag or a big guy.

According to Liu Mingqi's suggestion, after the Chen family's overseas experiment, all caravans did not have much restrictions on purchasing.

Apart from the exaggerated number, they can buy more, such as one thousand, two thousand, etc., but if they dare to sell the grenades to pirates, robbers and bandits on the land, the court will definitely kill the caravan from top to bottom, all families will be searched, males will be killed, and women and children will be sent to the bitter and cold areas.

Note that everyone who goes to sea in the fleet will be killed, without any exception!

If someone reports and obtains confirmation, this person can not only be exempted from punishment, but also receive one-tenth of the wealth of all the people who were searched.

The court even encouraged all buyers to report on their own, or even enforce the law by fishing. Anyway, no matter what, they can also get one-tenth of their wealth.

With such a two-pronged approach, I believe that those businessmen who are brave enough to sell hand-made cannons to pirates, Japanese people, etc.

As long as the number of enemies is not too large, Dakang's army, navy and merchant fleet will not suffer a great loss.

But it may be difficult to completely eliminate it.

Since ancient times, greed has surpassed everything. Driven by profit, there will always be people who will take risks.

Come back to your eyes.

Emperor Jinghe naturally understood Liu Mingqi's intention.

First, it emphasizes that the court's absolute dominance over the control of weapons, and cannot let things like hand cannons fall out in an orderly manner, otherwise it will be a nightmare for the Dakang army that defended the city.

Secondly, this is also an increase in income to the court.

The price they bought from the Yuwang Mansion Workshop was one tael of silver per piece, and the price was five taels of silver per piece for sale to merchants.

The profit is 400%, which can be regarded as huge profits.

Even if the costs of transportation, warehousing, management and other costs are eliminated, there is still 300%.

Moreover, this money belongs directly to the central finance, and is managed by the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War, and is handed over to the Governor's Office for sale. Finally, the money is paid to the account of the Ministry of Revenue.

In this way, a hundred hand cannons are 500 taels, and two hundred is 1,000 taels.
