The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 439 From the Fortress Age to the Industrial Age
The fact that Japanese pirates owned rifled guns made Jiang Chuan feel an urgent sense of crisis.

He dismissed everyone and stayed alone in the room to communicate with the system.

"System, please tell me, what are the conditions for upgrading the current Suifa muzzle-loading musket to a breech-loading rifle?" Jiang Chuan asked eagerly.

The system quickly replied: "First of all, you need to upgrade the base from the current fortress age to the industrial age. After the system is upgraded to the industrial age, all arms can be upgraded once. And there will be a new unit arsenal. In the arsenal Inside, you can choose to upgrade existing muskets and cannons, increasing their accuracy and range power."

Jiang Chuan thought for a while, and then asked: "So what kind of conditions need to be met to upgrade from the fortress era to the industrial era?"

The system quickly replied: "Similar to the conditions for your first upgrade, you need to meet the two conditions of reputation and gold coins. After these two conditions are met, the system will start to upgrade."

"So how much reputation and gold coins will be consumed for this upgrade?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"100 million reputation points and 100 million gold coins," the system said.

After Jiang Chuan listened to the system's answer, he silently inquired about the existing reputation value.

He found that the current reputation has reached more than 110 million.And this huge prestige value was mainly obtained by defeating the Dashun army several times after entering the customs and a series of measures after entering the capital.

According to the entry details of the prestige value displayed in the background.

After entering the capital, the prestige gained from a series of measures such as forcing the emperor, beheading Wei Guogong Liu Lin and other rebellious parties, rehabilitating Yuan Chonghuan and Zhou Yunyi, cracking down on speculators and profiteers, adjusting grain and stabilizing order far exceeded that of defeating Dashun Jiang Chuan was a little surprised by the prestige points the army got.

But if you think about it carefully, you can actually understand the truth of this,

After all, compared to the Manchu Tartars, the combat effectiveness of the Dashun Army is really not too high, and Jiangchuan's current strength in defeating the rogues is really not much credit.

As far as the system is concerned, Jiang Chuan's current reputation is focused on stabilizing the government after he takes over the capital.A series of means to win people's hearts is the fundamental way of a lord, so the reputation points earned in this way will far exceed the reputation points obtained from defeating the Dashun Army in several battles.

After Jiang Chuan saw this data, he was both secretly happy and grateful.

It seems that the first condition of slow system upgrade has been fully satisfied.

What about the second condition?

Jiang Chuan took a look. Currently, there are only about 50 gold coins in the system account.

Because during this period of time, it is basically a large amount of gold coins consumed, and there is not much income.Although the output of the system can be supplemented, because the daily consumption is too large, the daily increase in money is not too much.

After Jiang Chuan watched it, he thought about it carefully and understood the reason.

After all, after defeating the rogue bandits, most of the trophies captured were actually worthless, far inferior to what was obtained after defeating the Manchu Tartars in Liaodong.

After entering the capital, although it is said that selling grain has made a lot of money, because the price of grain is too low, the amount earned is actually quite limited, and it is far from enough to achieve the system upgrade.

Seeing this data, Jiang Chuan frowned.If you don't have enough 100 million gold coins, you can't satisfy the system upgrade.At present, all material storage in the system has reached a warning line.

If the trade continues, there will be a material crisis in the system, so this deficit can only be made up from the outside.

Jiang Chuan thought for a while, and soon came up with a way to quickly replenish the 100 million gold coins.

Last time, Liu Lin and other seventeen family properties were copied, not to mention the fixed assets, it was a huge sum.

Among them, there are more than 400 million taels of silver, and more than 50 taels of gold.

These gold can just add up to 100 million taels of gold coins, which meets the conditions for upgrading.

And this batch of seized property is now sealed in the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs.It seems that the user can only take this batch of gold and hand it over to the system for upgrading.

After thinking of a way, Jiang Chuan asked the system again: "If the two conditions are met, how long will it take for the upgrade to complete?"

The system estimated and replied: "It will take ten days to complete the upgrade."

Jiang Chuan thought about it for a while, and if it is ten days, it is acceptable.

For the time being, let those Japanese pirates live a few more days. After all, the Qin army in Qingzhou is already prepared. It will not be so easy for the Japanese pirates to launch another surprise attack.

After the system is upgraded, Jiang Chuan will fully upgrade the existing firearms, and at that time will form an overwhelming overall advantage over the Japanese pirates.

Then it is time to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates.

And this period of time is just enough for Heibingtai and Di Qing to collect information about the Japanese pirates, find out the distribution of Japanese pirates' forces and where their lairs are, and then they can command the army to attack Huanglong and wipe out the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.

After figuring this out, Jiang Chuan ended the communication with the system, walked out of the room, called Bai Mu, and asked Bai Mu to take his handbook and lead a pair of personal guards to the household warehouse to extract the more than 50 taels of gold, and told If Bai Mu dares to obstruct and disobey the king's order, he can be killed on the spot.

Bai Mu took the order and went straight to the bank of the household department with a team of personal guards.

The officials in charge of guarding the household department's bank treasury became nervous when they saw the menacing and vicious guards of the regent prince who didn't know what happened.

When Bai Mu showed Jiang Chuan's letter, the official in charge said with a look of embarrassment: "General, if you want to withdraw such a huge amount of money, you need a warrant signed by the Minister of the Household Department and the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet before you can withdraw this batch of gold." .

Because the amount is too huge.Bai Muchu felt that this person was dedicated to his duties, so he told him patiently that this was the military pay to be transported to the front line. If the military affairs were delayed, the regent blamed him, a little treasury officer, who could not afford it.As for the warrants of the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet and the Secretary of the Household Department, they can be made up later, and the matter is urgent, and I hope to open the door as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, this person is really greedy, and he has always been used to eating cards. Although he saw that the pair of armed and vicious guards were extraordinary, but the habit of greed he had developed over the years still wanted him to get some fuel from it, so for Bai Mu's explanation still shook his head and refused. While rubbing his fingers, he continued to talk about the warrants of the Chief Assistant and the Minister of the Household Department, and even added a Minister of the Ministry of War. Only after the signatures of the third party are complete can they be withdrawn. batch of gold.

It was only then that Bai Mu realized that this guy was really daring, his greedy look was really disgusting, he was furious instantly, the long sword was unsheathed, and after the sword light flashed, the man's head flew up, and he spun a few times in the air circle, and then landed on the ground with a plop, a pair of fish bubble eyes still widened in horror, apparently not believing that people like themselves would actually kill as soon as they said it.

The rest of the treasury officials and soldiers guarding the treasury were taken aback, and all put on a look of alert, Bai Mu shouted violently: "If anyone dares to obstruct again, he will suffer the same fate as this thief."

Looking at the ferocious head on the ground, the others finally retreated, and no one dared to stop it.The deputy of the bank ambassador hurriedly and tremblingly took the key from the corpse to open the door of the bank for Bai Mu.
