Of course, Li Shimin pretended not to hear Zhang Nuo's direct statement just now that he would double the cost before letting people buy shares.

Naturally, the cost cannot be real. If you really want to release the cost of the artillery and other things, it will be leaking the secrets of the court. Just doubling it is considered Zhang Nuo's conscience.

In addition, how could it be possible to buy shares based on the cost alone?

On the contrary, Empress Changsun thoughtfully asked a question,

"Uncle, let's say my eldest grandson's family wants an iron mine, and they have to work hard to mine it. At that time, the money spent will be more than what they get, so don't they have to pay for it?"

Zhang Nuo nodded very calmly,

"What my sister-in-law said is naturally true. If the eldest grandson's family wants iron mines and slaves, and the quantity is relatively large, it is inevitable to pay for it!"

"Besides, to be honest, there will definitely be someone prospecting for minerals at that time, and maybe the Changsun family will have to compete with others!"

Chapter 458 Zhang Nuo's Difficulties

What Zhang Nuo said was very true, although at present, Changsun Wuji relied on Li Shimin's favor and became the biggest arms dealer in Datang.

But there are still many aristocratic families who are also doing this business, but the scale is not as large.

The prospects that Changsun Wuji can see will be seen by everyone at that time, so maybe someone will jump out and compete with the Changsun family at that time.

Empress Changsun frowned when she heard this, but Li Shimin took the conversation calmly,

"Don't worry about the queen, the competition is inevitable. Not only your eldest grandson's family wants to develop, but other families also want to. If the iron ore reserves are as rich as what my brother said, maybe the eldest grandson's family will not be able to eat it. At that time, we have to unite with other talents!"

"Also, the number of slaves for mining alone is probably not a small number, all of which cost money!"

"But only if the grandson's family takes out the money, they can feel at ease that the iron ore is occupied. Otherwise, after this incident, no one will dare to deal with the grandson's family!"

Empress Changsun nodded, understanding what Li Shimin meant.

However, Empress Changsun understands that Zhang Nuo has something else to do here.

"Old Li, who are you going to let in as a shareholder? You can make up your mind quickly. Besides, there is no debt in this matter. It must be paid out in real money!"

"I don't have any good things like empty-handed white wolves here. Except for our two brothers, everyone else has to pay for it!"

"Besides, the most important thing is that we all pay attention to voluntariness. If you want to come, do it in a down-to-earth manner. Don't talk too much after you come. Don't blame my brother for my temper!"

Li Shimin laughed, slapped the table domineeringly and stood up,

"Who dares! You and I, brothers, have made an appointment this time, and that is a fixed number. If you don't come, it's okay, if you come, you are still tired, and there will be a dilemma for him!"

Zhang Nuo nodded with a smile. With Lao Li's assurance, it seems that there will be less talkative things by then.

"Lao Li, in that case, you don't have to pay. You will get [-]% and my brother will get [-]%. In this way, my brother and I will get [-]%, and others will get the remaining [-]%!"

"After all, we still have to rely on those people to take care of and operate it in the future. If we occupy too much, they may not be willing to do it!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded slightly to agree, horses have no night grass, no fat, no windfall, no wealth, if there is no real benefit in front of them, who would be willing to dig out the money hidden under the pigsty?

Seeing that Li Shimin did not object, Zhang Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief!

He was worried that Li Shimin's appetite was too big. After all, Li Shimin didn't pay a penny, and getting [-]% was already giving him face as an emperor. He would complain that Li Shimin's food was too ugly, and maybe he would get Zhang Nuo into trouble.

Now everyone is safe and secure, working together and waiting to make a fortune.

Now that the benefit distribution plan has been negotiated, Zhang Nuo simply left the remaining shareholder issues to Li Shimin. Anyway, he only needs to see that the money is in place, and the twists and turns inside will make Li Shimin a headache.

He still has two important things to do now.

One is artillery training. Artillery is different from ordinary infantry. It is not only about being brave, it requires not only physical strength, but also extremely high requirements for brains and knowledge.

Although the artillery does not need too much at present, the artillery cultivated today is undoubtedly the seed and foundation of the huge artillery team in the future.

No matter how the artillery is updated and iterated in the future, the knowledge has not changed after all, and the calculation methods of those angles and distances are still the same, and the method of use is the same.

Therefore, the recruitment and training of the first batch of artillerymen, as well as the appointment of the chief officer, required Zhang Nuo to put in more thought.

If the recruitment and training of artillerymen is a matter of quality, then the recruitment of slave catchers is purely a matter of quantity.

The slave hunting team said that they only need to capture slaves, but in fact it is not that simple. When attacking the city, even if the artillery blasted the city walls and gates, the cavalry cannot be the only team that really attacked. In the case of street fighting in the city, only the cavalry will be sent to death.

However, the slave hunting team was not formed casually. Although Li Shimin had already nodded his head, Zhang Nuo's team with a target of 20 soldiers was a headache because of the lack of officers.

Not to mention the need to maintain this team from the very beginning, not to let them make trouble, but also to keep them fighting, accept training and command, it takes a lot of effort.

Raising soldiers and training is fine. After all, not to mention the money that the shareholders are about to send, Zhang Nuo alone can support him for a period of time.

But this officer's affairs are not so easy to deal with!

Thinking of this, looking at Li Shimin, who is full of ambition and secretly counting small accounts with the queen, Zhang Nuo suddenly feels bad, Nima, I am not proud of being the initiator and executor of the project, you are actually starting to feel proud up.

No, you can't make Lao Li too easy, this matter has to be handled by him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo said directly,

"Old Li, there are two more things you need to do. After all, you can't just rely on your royal name to take advantage of it, right? Even if others don't say it, they will complain in their hearts!"

"After all, there may be a few countries to fight in the future. Are you really just watching?"

Li Shimin was taken aback by what Zhang Nuo said, what does it mean?Could it be that I can still control the conquest?

Li Shimin is not the brainless emperor of Sui Yang. Although as an emperor, he also has a problem with being overjoyed. It's not that you think about it like a fool.

So, when Zhang Nuo said that just now, he was a little puzzled. What does this mean?
