Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 7
【One night without words.】

Concubine Chen's beautiful eyes stared at Zheng Kezang, who was getting up carefully, her pretty face flashed blank for a moment. From her point of view, Zheng Kezang had changed too much these days, and she couldn't understand this childhood sweetheart more and more. Grown up man.

He always utters words that she doesn't understand but thinks they are powerful, and runs to the suburban construction sites and military camps all day long, mixing with civilian husbands and soldiers, and it is always difficult to find him.

She is very busy, but she still knows how to be considerate of her wife. Recalling what happened last night, Concubine Chen's face was covered with red clouds, and she was a little shy.

It turned out that in order to make Concubine Chen happy, Zheng Kezang specially prepared a homemade perfume for her, and told her that if he sprayed the perfume, his combat effectiveness would be stronger, which was really embarrassing.

Concubine Chen said in a low voice: "Husband, don't be so careful, the concubine is ready to get up."

"My concubine seemed to like the perfume I gave you last night." Zheng Kezang said cheerfully.

"Husband, don't tease me, it's getting late, hurry up and say hello to grandma." Concubine Chen said with a small fist blowing on his chest.

"Okay, I'm going to pay my respects to my grandmother now, and I'll have breakfast with you when I come back." Zheng Kezang responded with a smile.

These few days, Zheng Kezang is in a very good mood, because the British guy Thomas sent the first batch of 5000 taels of silver, and a batch of heavy-duty matchlock guns that paid for the payment. He sold the beauty incense for a tael of silver and two taels of water. s price.

The European heavy-duty arquebus gun, known as the Turtle Dove Foot Fire Gun in the Ming Dynasty, is powerful, with a range of up to 360 meters. It can shoot through plate armor at close range, and can still shoot through wooden boards or light armor at a distance of 150 meters.

The Ming Dynasty was not as self-sufficient as the Qing Dynasty. In the second year of Chongzhen, Xu Guangqi, who was familiar with the West, proposed to Emperor Chongzhen to introduce heavy matchlock guns from Portugal.

In the third year of Chongzhen, it was successfully imitated by Wang Zunde, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and named it the turtledove gun.

The reason why Zheng Kezang did not exchange with the system for how to make a bayonet is also because the current Ming Zheng army is mainly equipped with matchlock guns, which are not suitable for bayonets.

Because the shooting speed of arquebus guns is slow, arquebus soldiers will always follow hand-to-hand soldiers (except for position defense battles). The combat sequence of the arquebus era is such as the Spanish phalanx, Morris phalanx, and Gustav phalanx. Without exception, they are equipped with 6% of hand-to-hand soldiers, such as spearmen, who can stop and kill approaching enemies, forming a flesh and blood wall, and providing arquebus soldiers with time to shoot slowly.

In this case, it is very meaningless to design a weapon that is hardly used. Instead of getting a bayonet, it is better to equip them with secondary weapons: short soldiers such as swords (Europe) and knives (China) are more effective in combat.

However, Zheng Kezang does not intend to use these old tactics. After the construction of the Heroes Monument is completed and there is a surplus of brilliant points, he can purchase the technology of flintlock gun and bayonet.

As usual, Zheng Kezang paid respects to his grandmother Dong Guotai on time. Although the two are relatives, their relationship is not very close. The reason can be traced back to Zheng Kezang's mother Chen Zhaoniang.

Zheng Kezang's biological mother, Chen Zhaoniang, was the wet nurse of Zheng Jing's fourth younger brother Zheng Rui. Because of this incident, Guo Xingye was so angry that he ordered to execute Zheng Jing, Dong Guotai, Chen Zhaoniang, and the newly born Zheng Kezang and others.

It's just that nothing happened later. Dong Guotai might not be very affectionate to his grandson Zheng Kezang because of this incident, which is understandable.

After inviting An to Dong Guotai, before walking a few steps, he met his good second uncle Zheng Cong.

This Zheng Cong walks in a fluffy way, his breath is weak, his eyes are sunken, and he looks like a person whose body has been hollowed out by wine and sex.

"Qinshe, I heard that you have a magical perfume here, do you think Second Uncle can help you?" The voice had already arrived before the person arrived, and it could be seen that he was in a hurry.

Zheng Kezang knows the elegant meaning by hearing the strings, this guy must have an eye for money, and wants to get a foot in the perfume trade.

"Second Uncle, this perfume is a collaboration between me and Westerners. They provide technology, and I provide people and raw materials. If Second Uncle wants to participate in this business, it will not be easy." Zheng Kezang said with great interest.

Hearing this, Zheng Cong became anxious, "My good nephew, Second Uncle, I really want to share the worries of the palace. You have to ask Second Uncle to help you with the perfume business, right?"

"Second Uncle, the sky is falling and there is a tall man holding it up. Don't worry, our palace is fine now." Zheng Kezang, who is 1.7 meters six and well developed, looks down on his good Second Uncle.

"How can this be so? I see that the Tartars are flourishing day by day, and my Yanping king's family has sunk to the west. My heart aches. If I don't do anything, I feel uneasy." Want to rejuvenate the country through industry?

Good guy, Zheng Kezang said that he has never seen such a brazen person. No wonder Feng Xifan dared to do such rebellious things in history as soon as he took care of him.

However, Zheng Kezang, who is relatively short of funds at this stage, believes that this "good second uncle" may be able to take advantage of it, but the perfume business cannot be given to him, and he is his future "enemy".

"Second Uncle, I know what you mean. How about this? I have a big business, but it's not perfume. Second Uncle, do you want to do a big one?" Zheng Kezang said mysteriously.

Zheng Cong's eyes lit up: "Qin She, come quickly, Second Uncle is very interested."

Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Zheng Kezang said immediately, "I have a plan with the Englishman to jointly establish a Dongning Brewing Company. If the second uncle wants to partner, I will not cooperate with the British. The wine is delicious."

"Second Uncle will do my part in this partnership matter, but I can't let Second Uncle participate, otherwise it will chill my heart." Zheng Cong began to talk nonsense.

"I've already discussed this matter with the Englishman. If the second uncle really wants to participate, it must be paid in real money, otherwise it won't make sense."

"Second uncle, you have also dealt with the Dutch, and you know what a joint-stock company is, similar to their Dutch East India Company, whoever owns more shares will get more money. So, second uncle, you find a way to take out 20 Ten thousand taels of silver, I'll give you [-]% of the shares." Zheng Kezang pretended to be very generous and asked for the price directly.

Zheng Cong knows a little bit about the joint-stock company. [-]% of the shares may not seem to be much, but after the brewing business becomes bigger and stronger, it is impossible to know how much silver it will make in a year, and it is not too much to make money every day.

But Zheng Kezang's asking price was too high, and Zheng Cong couldn't accept it. In business, you have to bargain.

"20 taels of silver, even if you sell the second uncle, you can't get it back, can you just give 5 taels of silver." Zheng Cong gritted his teeth.

"Second Uncle, after passing this village, there will be no such store. To be honest, I and other partners do not need 20 taels of silver to open this brewing company. If you don't want to participate, forget it." Zheng Kezang waved his hand.

"If the second uncle doesn't get in the car this time, there will be no chance." Zheng Kezang shook his head, as if to leave.

"Qin She, don't leave yet, and then have a good chat with Second Uncle." Zheng Cong hurried forward to hold Zheng Kezang.

"Look at me here."

The two parties came and went, and finally the two reached an agreement. Both parties took a step back. Zheng Cong invested 10 taels of silver, and Zheng Kezang gave him [-]% of the shares. Both parties felt that they had made a profit and left satisfied.
