Li Shimin looked at the big crater on the small hill in the distance that could be clearly seen from such a distance, and his mouth couldn't close.
"This... this... this... this... brother, this..."
Li Shimin was so excited that he pointed at the mountain in the distance and pointed at the red cannon in front of him, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
But fortunately, when Zhang Nuo was in elementary school, there was a question type in the Chinese test paper called talking with pictures, so he probably could figure out what Li Shimin was thinking, so he answered directly,
"You are right, this is the power of artillery, and this is the simplest and most primitive artillery of the first generation. We will have all kinds of more powerful artillery in the future!"
"Artifact, this is the Zhenguo artifact!"
Before Li Shimin had time to say anything, Du Ruhui's face flushed with excitement, but he expressed his evaluation firmly.
However, not only did he think so, Changsun Wuji also nodded excitedly. At the same time, Changsun Wuji also discovered a problem that no one else thought of. This thing is made of cast iron.
As the largest iron merchant in the entire Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wuji not only discovered the military value of this thing, but also discovered the commercial value contained in it.
Judging from the current situation, the power of this cannon is undoubtedly astonishing, then Datang will inevitably manufacture it on a large scale, so as the largest iron merchant in Datang, he can earn a lot of money just by supplying the imperial court .
Although he could earn some money by supplying goods to the imperial court before, the Tang Dynasty only needed so many weapons, and no matter how much money he made with a knife, he only needed so much iron.
But now this cannon is different. A cannon like this is probably worth hundreds of knives in terms of the steel it consumes.
Moreover, Changsun Wuji, who has a sharp vision, has discovered before that the barrel of this cannon, the shelf below, and those weird things are not made of ordinary pig iron, but are much higher in price and quality of stainless steel.
Then the value here is even greater. As long as such cannons are equipped in large quantities, it will be a long-lasting business. Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji found Zhang Nuo at the first time, and asked with a smile,
"Master Xiao Zhang, this red cannon is just as Master Du said, it can be regarded as an artifact of the kingdom, but it is the simplest according to what Master Zhang said just now? Then what will it be like in the future?"
Zhang Nuo is quite satisfied with Changsun Wuji's question. I didn't expect Changsun, the old fox, to be quite discerning. I know that I look forward to a more powerful version.
Unlike Lao Li and the others, who seemed to be shocked when they saw the iron lump, they never thought that this was actually just a temporary version.
From Zhang Nuo's point of view, a cannon without explosive shells is scum, and only a cannon that can fire explosive shells and blow up a large area is called a real artillery.
At that time, Zhang Nuo will be able to let the world see what real artilleryism is, and what is the lack of firepower phobia.
So Zhang Nuo was particularly pleasing to Zhang Sun Wuji, who was thinking about the next generation of artillery just after seeing the artillery in front of him.
"Brother Changsun, you are right. The artillery in front of you is actually only used to fight against Korea. Its power is far from enough. Wait for a year or so, and you will see it later. That's when the artillery really astounds!"
Changsun Wuji was completely excited, what the fuck, this power is just a trivial matter?Will it be the real artillery in the future?Will you be shocked then?How powerful is that?
But the power is great, how can the court purchase if the power is not strong, how can it persuade others if the power is not strong?
And only the frighteningly powerful cannons will make all the troops of Datang replace them, and when he thinks that Datang will replace them with a large number of cannons, Changsun Wuji's eyes are about to glow green at this moment, and he said directly ,
"Brother Zhang, hurry up and tell me what the next generation of artillery will look like!"
Zhang Nuo looked at the excited grandson Wuji and Lao Li and Lao Du beside him who were clearly interested, and replied with a smile,
"The artillery, the current version, can obviously only be used to siege the city. To put it bluntly, it's just hitting the wall with a big iron lump. This kind of power is not bad against the city wall. A few more hits will always bring results, but It has no effect against fast-moving cavalry or scattered infantry!"
"It can't be said that it doesn't work, but it's not worth it. Maybe it won't kill a few people with one shot!"
"However, the next-generation artillery that Jinhe is currently researching is different. Not only will the firing speed be much faster, but the power will also be many times greater. At that time, whether it is attacking a city wall or a moving target, it will definitely go down the landslide with one shot. Crack!"
"Okay, okay! Brother, I'm waiting for your landslide!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin became more and more happy. The first-generation artillery in front of him was actually beyond his expectations, but he didn't expect that such a mighty artillery was just the beginning, and there will be much more powerful artillery in the future. Things, what else to say, I definitely support it!
What Changsun Wuji couldn't forget at this time was his iron business, because His Majesty had already seen the power of this artillery, so he didn't have to worry about the installation at all.
Don't worry about the affairs of the imperial court, just worry about your own affairs. This is clearly a money-making business!
"Brother Zhang, my eldest grandson's family is the largest and most powerful supplier of ironware in Datang, and it also has the most iron ore. I think you will need a lot of pig iron when you manufacture this artillery. Do you want to follow me?" The eldest grandson's family is in partnership, and you will definitely not suffer!"
Zhang Nuo really didn't expect Changsun Wuji to speak so directly, earning business for himself in front of the emperor, but he really didn't feel disgusted, because it would be more convenient for him to build it himself from mining, smelting, and casting. It is convenient, but also too tiring.
The key is where did he find so many craftsmen and stewards? It can be seen from this that it may be a good plan to cooperate with the eldest grandson's family!
Chapter 454
Looking at the excited Changsun Wuji, Zhang Nuo suddenly came up with an idea. It seemed that Changsun, the old fox, was an arms dealer.
For such an arms dealer, they should like to see the invention of new weapons and the emergence of wars, and there are probably many people like arms dealers.
Regardless of whether they are grain merchants or medicine merchants, these people will make a small fortune because of the war, but if the previous model of the Tang Dynasty is followed, then Zhang Nuo can only spend the money for nothing, which makes Zhang Nuo a little Distressed.
Is it possible to treat this war as a business like Changsun Laohu said just now, and then recruit people into the group?
The idea that Zhang Nuo got in a flash of inspiration instantly occupied his brain like a storm!
Then the more Zhang Nuo thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was really all right!
And if we follow this line of thinking, not only he can participate, but Lao Li can also participate. Everyone has money to earn, and it's a lot of money!
Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo excitedly said to Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji,
"Two, go back with me first. I just thought of a good idea. We'll think about it later. If it works, then we will all make a lot of money this time, not just the family. Even Datang is about to make a fortune!"
Hearing Zhang Nuo's words, Li Shimin and others' eyes lit up instantly.
Although Zhang Nuo usually likes to make some jokes, and even play some small pranks to tease people, but only when it comes to money, Zhang Nuo never jokes.
Zhang Nuo said a long time ago that if you joke about money, it's easy for friends to turn into enemies, so it's better not to joke around.
Because of this, when Zhang Nuo said that everyone can earn money and even Datang can earn benefits, why not do it?
