Emperor Tianqi came in since Zhang Jingyi and Deng Jian, and his eyes fell on Deng Jian.

He tried hard to be calm, but at this time, it was hard to ask Deng Jian about it first.

Therefore, he looked calm and composed and said, "Zhang Qing is here just right..."

Emperor Tianqi paused: "Now the martial arts lecture hall and the Shenji camp report to me, asking me to give them firearms, and also the excellent firearms from your military academy... I hope to buy them from you, what do you think?"

Zhang Jingyi immediately said, "Okay, okay, I wonder how much Your Majesty wants?"

Emperor Tianqi never expected that Zhang Jingyi would agree.

After all, people are selfish. Isn’t this unique secret of the military academy just this firearm?

If even this was sold to the martial arts hall and the Shenji camp, wouldn’t this military academy be the same as everyone else?

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Zhang Qing was indeed selfless. Fortunately, the martial arts lecture hall and the officials were sarcastic and sarcastic every day, but belittled the Donglin Military Academy.

Compared with humans, people are really different from humans and dogs.

Several cabinet ministers originally thought that Zhang Jing was looking for reasons to make excuses, but unexpectedly, Zhang Jingyi agreed immediately.

All of a sudden, they all looked at Zhang Jing with admiration.

How could they know that Zhang Jing was already very happy when she heard that someone wanted to come to purchase arms, but she didn't expect that she would become an arms dealer one day.

This is a great thing. With orders for your workshop, you can recruit more skilled craftsmen. With better profits from craftsmen, they will be more motivated to continue to start construction.

Workshops need to make money, and they cannot always become vassals of military academy. Only by opening the door to do business can a military industry system be established.

So Zhang Jingyi said, "How much does Your Majesty want?"

Seeing Zhang Jingyi so enthusiastic, Emperor Tianqi was even more annoyed by Huang Liji and the others. Look... see what Zhang Qing looks like, and then look at you guys...

Not to mention Emperor Tianqi, even these cabinet ministers couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

They were cabinet ministers and saw many things clearly. When the martial arts lecture hall was built, countless scholars showed off their power, but Zhang Jingyi was so generous.

Zhang Jingyi is completely different from the rumor outside the world. He acts more ruthlessly, but he is devoted to the public, but he is not comparable to some people.

So Huang Liji reported a number.

Zhang Jingyi said, "The price of a musket requires a hundred taels per piece. If it is eight thousand pieces, it is 800,000 taels of silver. If it is a cannon, it is 1,500 taels of silver. If it is fifty, the price is cheap, only ten thousand taels of silver. As for gunpowder... My gunpowder has a special formula, and one pound is not expensive. Ten taels of silver is enough. If it is 10,000 pounds per month, it is 100,000 taels of silver per month."

"But... I think that this cannon alone must have special shells, and the musket also needs special bullets. The bullet looks like it is just a lump of iron, but if it is not polished carefully, it may be dangerous to get stuck and explode. Why not even the bullets are supplied from me. Musket bullets are cheap, and a hundred dollars are expensive, and the shells are expensive, and it costs five taels of silver. What do you think?"

When Zhang Jingyi quoted this price, he looked calm and actually felt a little worried.

Sure enough, when the cannon fired, it would cost tens of thousands of taels of gold. In this way, buying guns and cannons alone would cost millions of taels of silver, and there would be a steady stream of ammunition every year. After a year, I was afraid that it would be close to one million taels again, so I seemed to be a little unscrupulous.

Therefore, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but blurt out... Or could he get a discount?

After all, you can't be too ruthless.

But who knew that Emperor Tianqi, Huang Liji and others looked at each other.

Emperor Aoki subconsciously said, "This is cheap?"

"Ah..." Zhang Jing opened her mouth wide.

Huang Liji was also overjoyed and said, "Just this price, Duke of Liao, don't regret it."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

Huang Liji, Sun Chengzong, Li Guo, Fang, and Liu Hongxun were all happy, as if they had taken off a huge burden all at once.

At this time, Liu Hongxun couldn't help but be moved by Zhang Jingyi's noble sentiment, and raised his thumbs up and said, "The Duke of Liao is indeed noble and noble. Not only is he dedicated to the Duke of Liao, but he is also willing to give in to profits. He created a musket that can only be made by 130 or 50 taels of silver. Your musket is even more sophisticated. I didn't expect that he would only sell a hundred taels of silver. I had prejudices against the Duke of Liao before, but today I saw the Duke of Liao's righteousness and wealth. I have good luck with the Duke of Liao, and I am very lucky!"

Zhang Jingyi was going to be numb.

I really want to say a little bit, how much corruption has the dogs in the making of the game have been?

The cost of this musket will definitely not exceed fifteen taels of silver. This is the cost of Zhang Jingyi's meticulous work. Just selling 100 taels of silver, he felt guilty. He didn't expect that the trick would be even more ruthless.

How do these guys settle the accounts?

If he had known this, he would have doubled the offer.

Make a lot of money!

It seems that I, Zhang Jingyi, is indeed not suitable for arms trading, and I am too kind-hearted.

It's no wonder why when I copied the Shenshu Camp military warehouse, I found that there were a large number of muskets inside, which can even be traced back to the Yongle period, two hundred years ago. The muskets had long been rusted, and the rust fell down as soon as they touched them. However, there might not be even a hundred new muskets. It turns out that the court could not afford it at all.

But when he said something like the water that was poured out, he could not be taken back. At this time, Zhang Jingyi could only maintain his character as a sermon, and smiled and said, "Building guns and cannons for the court is an honor for the Zhang family. Silver is a small matter, mainly for the country."

Emperor Tianqi still felt a little distressed and sighed, but seeing Zhang Jingyi selling arms at a low price for the sake of Shenji Camp, what else can he do as the emperor?

So he had to say, "Very good, then hurry up and prepare the required weapons. How long will it take to arrive?"

Zhang Jing said: "I have already reserved some of them, which are used for replacement. If the Shenji Camp is in a hurry, I can first move the guns and cannons from the military arsenal, and I will order people to supervise the construction on the other side."

Emperor Apocalypse smiled and said, "It's so good."

As he said that, Emperor Tianqi looked at Deng Jian and said, "Deng Qing family, are you back?"

His question was light and quiet.

Deng Jian then stepped forward: "I have met Your Majesty."

“How about the errands?”

Deng Jian said: "I have worked hard these days, running around, day and night, and finally... I have done the matter. Speaking of which, this matter is complicated and I am too disturbed. Whenever I am in trouble, I think of Your Majesty's kindness, so I am a hundred times more energetic. Therefore, I dare not say that this job is done well. I can only say that under the grace of Your Majesty, I have a little bit of a look. I am born stupid. Not only does your Majesty not dislike it, but entrusted with important tasks. Now..."

Emperor Tianqi heard a lot of words and couldn't wait for the point, so he cursed impatiently: "Stop talking about these, how many families have you copied, how much money have you converted?"

Seeing Emperor Aoki furious.

Deng Jian was startled and immediately said, "I copied everything I should copy, and I will give you silver... I will give you silver..."

Emperor Tianqi held the imperial desk with both hands, and his heartbeated in his throat.

Deng Jian said: "I got 145 million taels of silver..."

Emperor Apocalypse's breathing began to be heavy.

Zhang Jingyi had already started to open his mouth wide.

To be honest, this number is really scary! At least in the Ming Dynasty, such a number was rarely heard. Only in the late Qing Dynasty did the indemnities signed by the Qing government and the powerful people have hundreds of billions of taels of silver.

Among the income of the Ming Dynasty, 10 million taels were a huge number. You must know that in order to maintain Liaodong, the court had to try every means to collect Liao pay and borrow everywhere in order to maintain Liaodong. In this way, they had to owe the border troops the money.

Good guy, it's just over 100 million.

Huang Liji and others were all dumbfounded and stunned on the spot.

Emperor Aoki was even more like being struck by lightning.

Thanks to his rich experience in this area, he held the imperial case with both hands in advance, but even so, at the moment Deng Jian reported the number, his hands still couldn't help but start to tremble, and then the imperial case began to vibrate.

"What's 145 million taels?"

Deng Jian said: "Your Majesty, silver is silver... not copper coins."

Emperor Tianqi's face turned red, but then it began to turn purple.

In his mind, countless pictures have passed by.

They are all kinds of strange things, but those things are all golden.

As if he felt it wasn't true enough, he confirmed again: "Speak louder."

So Deng Jian said again: "Your Majesty, it's 145 million taels of silver... This is the approximate amount, and there are some final payments that have not been settled..."

"Huh..." Emperor Tianqi felt like a hammer in his heart, and suddenly jumped. It took a long time to react from the shock. He shouted: "You scared me to death..."

After saying that, his body suddenly tilted and fell from the dragon chaise.

Zhang Jingyi and others' pupils contracted. Seeing all this happening, they were all frightened to the point of being so scared.

Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian, who was aside, had quick eyes and hands. He caught Emperor Tianqi and howled in horror: "Hurry, call the imperial doctor."

"No need to scream..." Emperor Tianqi said in a rage: "It's useless to call those quack doctors. I... I just can't bear it for a while, I need to slow down..."

Then Emperor Tianqi ordered: "Deng Jian scared me and deserved to die. He ordered him to read those words to me a hundred times in the palace and teach him to shout them out loud. See if he dares to scare me like this in the future!"

Wei Zhongxian was worried. After hearing these words, he confirmed that Emperor Tianqi should not have much problem. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and then hurriedly said: "Yes, yes."
