Shen Jianzhong turned a blind eye to the killing intent and hatred that unconsciously flowed out of Wang Kangxin's eyes. Since he came here, he had already put life and death aside, but he knew that Wang Kangxin wanted to skin himself and cramp him, eat flesh and sleep on his skin. But this person is an extremely tolerant and restrained person. As long as his goal is not achieved and he is still valuable to him, then he is safe around him... ···
"What do you want from me?" Looking at Wang Kangxin, Shen Jianzhong asked calmly:
Resisting the urge to draw a knife and kill Shen Jianzhong, Wang Kangxin asked in a deep voice:
"How many people has the Black Dragon Society recruited into our army?"
Shen Jianzhong seemed to be prepared for Wang Kangxin's question, and casually handed Wang Kangxin a list of names.
Looking at the names on the list, Wang Kangxin's heart suddenly tightened, but in front of Shen Jianzhong, he still managed to remain calm and said:
"You these?"
Shen Jianzhong sneered and asked:
"General Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Kangxin pondered for a moment, and for some reason he shook his head. Instead of continuing to entangle with Shen Jianzhong on this issue, he asked:
"How are the preparations for the firearms factory going?"
Shen Jianzhong introduced:
"Production has begun. Now the factory can produce fifty pieces of Polu guns per month. As for the craftsmen of Weiyuan guns, they are getting better at it. In one to two months, they will be almost ready for mass production... ··············”
When Wang Kangxin heard this situation, his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled and he said very dissatisfied:
"Why so little?"
Wang Kangxin chose to suppress the hatred in his heart this time and agreed to the deal with Shen Jianzhong. Part of the reason was that Shen Jianzhong could bring him advanced firearms technology and promised to continuously produce firearms for him.
It is precisely because of Shen Jianzhong's promise that Wang Kangxin provided all the resources related to making firearms in his hands to Shen Jianzhong, hoping that Shen Jianzhong could help him form an army made of firearms, but now a month The output of fifty pieces is obviously not enough!
Fifty guns a month is only 600 guns a year. Even if the firearms are not equipped to the new army in Gongdu, but only to the Anton Army, at least one to two thousand guns are needed to complete it at the current speed. This goal will take years of the monkey and months of the horse?
Feeling Wang Kangxin's dissatisfaction, Shen Jianzhong shook his head and said:
"I told you, Mr. Wang, don't be unhappy! With the level of the palace craftsmen you found for me, it's pretty good to be able to make fifty tubes a month now!"
"Although the technology of Polu Gun and Weiyuan Gun is not much different from that of Bird Gun in principle, compared with Bird Gun, they also have many improvements in details and manufacturing process. Gong Du's Help the craftsmen. They have never even made blunderbuss before. If it weren’t for the craftsmen I brought to teach them the skills step by step, I’m afraid they would still be in a hurry now and don’t know what to do... ···”
After being defeated by Ye Mingsheng and fleeing to avoid being chased by the Coordination Office, Shen Jianzhong had been thinking about the reason why Ye Mingsheng was able to rise in such a short period of time.
After repeated thinking, Shen Jianzhong believed that the biggest factor in Ye Mingsheng's rise, apart from Ye Mingsheng's ability to know people well and his ability to grasp opportunities accurately, was that Ye Mingsheng didn't know where he got people like Polu. Guns, powerful firearms such as Weiyuan Guns have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of his troops!
Although he didn't know where Ye Mingsheng got these firearms, Shen Jianzhong, who couldn't get the answer, tried every means and found the finished products of Weiyuan Gun and Polu Gun through various channels.
In the past year, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of his troops, Ye Mingsheng ordered the craftsman battalion to operate at full capacity and work overtime to produce firearms. In one year, nearly 20,000 two kinds of firearms were produced. So many firearms Quantity is a matter of competition in a war, so for a big intelligence leader like Shen Jianzhong, it is not difficult to get a few muskets.
After getting the firearm, Shen Jianzhong secretly found some craftsmen in the firearms field and asked them to imitate it. After a long period of unremitting efforts, Shen Jianzhong really got some results, and this became the basis for Shen Jianzhong and Wang One of the bargaining chips of Kangxin’s transaction·····················
The explanation given by Shen Jianzhong at this time did not improve Wang Kangxin's mood in any way. He stared at Shen Jianzhong and said word by word:
"Shen Jianzhong, I don't care what you do, the firearms factory's output must reach at least one hundred guns per month!"
Seeing that Wang Kangxin did not respect objective laws at all and wanted to double the output as soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Jianzhong also frowned. Before setting up a firearms factory, he, like Wang Kangxin, thought that by investing manpower and material resources, he could easily make firearms. come out.
But when he actually prepared, he discovered that things were not as simple as he imagined. Many technical problems could not be solved simply by a brave man under a heavy reward. Even if you have a master to teach you the technology, those palace All craftsmen also have a process of learning and practice. It does not mean that if you hand over your skills to him today, he will immediately become a skilled worker tomorrow... ·
Although he really wanted to explain it to Wang Kangxin in detail, seeing that Wang Kangxin had made up his mind and refused to listen to anything, and I will fall out with you if you dare to compete with me again, he wisely gave up and persuaded Wang Kangxin Kang Xin’s plan, but said:
"In that case, Mr. Wang, you are looking for a hundred firearms craftsmen to come back to me!"
After hearing Shen Jianzhong bargaining with him, Wang Kangxin suppressed his anger and said:
"There are craftsmen in the whole palace who can make firearms. I found them all for you last time. Now where do you want me to go to find you another hundred craftsmen?"
Shen Jianzhong said calmly:
"I'm talking about Wang Zongbing, Lord Wang! Please don't be so smart and be more lively, okay? I can't find the palace, why don't you go back and look for it elsewhere? You don't need me to tell you where there are skilled craftsmen, right?"

Dongning, Governor's Mansion.
Yun Hanjie represented the Yun family for the second time and came to Ye Mingsheng's study to negotiate with Ye Mingsheng. In line with the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, it was also a respect for the Yun family behind Yun Hanjie. Ye Mingsheng was still the same as last time. , and asked the guards to move a seat for Yun Hanjie to sit down and talk.
After chatting with Yun Hanjie for a few words and doing some household chores, Ye Mingsheng looked at Yun Hanjie with a smile on his face. As expected, Yun Hanjie came to him this time for the purpose of public-private partnership, so Ye Mingsheng was very worried. He hopes that Yun Hanjie can bring him a satisfactory plan...
Feeling Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Yun Hanjie, who had already understood Ye Mingsheng's style, organized his words and said;
"Your Majesty, in order to support your public-private partnership reform, our Yun family is willing to donate 20% of the shares of Jin Fusheng Company, 30% of the shares of Chenji Grain Store, 35% of the shares of Sunji Salt Store, and 20% of the shares of Guangtaichun Company. , 20% of Quan Ren Tang’s shares!”
Listening to the names of these five companies that Yun Hanjie announced in one breath, Ye Mingsheng picked up the tea cup and slowly sipped the tea, but in his mind he was quickly calculating the value of these shares.
The public-private partnership launched by Ye Mingsheng this time was not a slap on the head and copied from the policies of later generations. Before launching this policy, Ye Mingsheng had asked the government and the Coordination Office to analyze the current business status of Liaoyang and the issues related to people's livelihood. Key Industries came up with an in-depth investigation report for him.
In this report, the government introduced to Ye Mingsheng in detail the current business, scale, etc. of various large firms in Liaoyang. If Ye Mingsheng remembers correctly, this Jin Fusheng firm is the leading large firm in Liaoyang, covering all walks of life. All covered...
However, as can be seen from the name, Jin Fusheng's main business is gold, silver, jade, and antiques. Especially in the field of gold, silver, and jade, his family nearly occupies about 30% of the market share in Liaoyang!
Their gold, silver and jade wares are of good quality and exquisite workmanship. Countless old women, young ladies and daughters-in-law in Liaoyang are proud to own a piece of jewelry produced by Jin Fusheng. In addition to gold, silver, jade wares and antiques, Jin Fusheng’s The account business also has a good reputation and goodwill, and all the traveling merchants who come and go are willing to trust them.
As for Chen Ji Grain Store, there is no doubt that it is a large grain trading company. Although it is called Chen Ji and the owner's surname is Chen, it is Chen Wanan, but such a large grain trading house must have a backer behind it!
The three clans of Liaoyang all have shares in their business, but the most important backer is still the Yun family. Chen Wanan's wife is Yun Hanjie's second daughter, and the majority of the profits of Chen Ji Liang Store were also taken away by the Yun family.
According to rough statistics in the survey report, Chenji Grain Store’s market share in Liaoyang is about 20%. Most of their sales stores and grain storage warehouses are concentrated in Dongning Prefecture, Guangning Prefecture, and Xuantu Prefecture. , in other Bosa Prefecture, Lelang Prefecture, and Changqing Prefecture, they have very few stores and warehouses...
The situation of Sunji Salt Shop is similar to that of Chenji Grain Shop. It is also deeply tied and married with the Yun family. However, the dominant market share is slightly larger. It accounts for about 25% of the sales of Liaoyang Salt Industry. Every year Sales revenue of nearly six figures in silver.
As for Guangtaichun, they are mainly engaged in the cloth and leather business. They have several weaving factories and dyeing factories in Liaoyang, with hundreds of workers working for them. It is said that for every three pieces of cloth sold in Liaoyang, one Horses belong to their family, and the leather business is even more powerful. Half of the cowhide and sheepskin business is owned by their family, and the most powerful is the mink business. Guang Taichun is almost the leader in the mink business in Liaoyang. The state of monopoly firmly controls the market pricing power, which can be described as very domineering!
The last one, Quanrentang, is no worse than the above four. They are the largest pharmacy in Liaoyang. Many of the top-quality medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antlers are obtained by the mountain people and sold to Quanrentang, which is then used by Quanrentang. Rentang distributes the medicinal materials. The medicinal materials they collect may cost only one tael or even a few taels of silver, but when they sell them, they may cost you several taels or even dozens of taels of silver. But in terms of profit margin, Quanren Tang is probably the tallest among the five companies!
The five shares donated by the Yun family together are conservatively estimated to be worth at least 600,000 taels of silver. It can be said to be very sincere... ··
Looking at Ye Mingsheng who was slowly sipping tea, Yun Hanjie seemed to want to see some clues from his facial expressions. At this time, Yun Hanjie was also a little nervous. He didn't know if he could make Ye Mingsheng make this list. Mingsheng is satisfied!
Since hearing Cui Shao's thoughts during the last meeting, Yun Hanjie has also had many feelings. Among the three clans in Liaoyang, the Cui family has the strongest overall strength, the Gongsun family has the greatest influence in the military, and The Yun family has the most money. However, it is a pity that after thousands of years, they have experienced countless dynasty changes, and the emperor has changed one after another, but the one thing that has never changed is the official-based society.
Therefore, although the Yun family has the strongest financial resources among the three clans in Liaoyang, their political status is the lowest. The ancestors of the Yun family only reached the fourth rank position at the highest, which is far behind the Cui family and the Gongsun family. Therefore, whenever the three clans of Liaoyang are mentioned, everyone regards the Yun family as the youngest.
Despite this, the Yun family did not interfere with the status quo. Several generations have wanted to change this situation. However, unfortunately, their efforts have never broken the fate of their family. After hearing Cui Shao's thoughts that night, Deeply touched, Yun Hanjie drove back to his family late at night and discussed with his nephew Yun Guanjing. After the two discussed, they anxiously discussed with other important figures in the family.
It is precisely because of this that Yun Hanjie has not come to Ye Mingsheng until now to discuss the public-private partnership with Ye Mingsheng.
Although before meeting Ye Mingsheng, Yun Hanjie thought that his plan was enough to impress Ye Mingsheng, but now looking at Ye Mingsheng's calm face, he still felt a little nervous and uneasy... ········
Ye Mingsheng, who was unaware of Yun Hanjie's inner activities, was a little surprised by Yun Hanjie's plan, but he also sensed the Yun family's caution from the plan. The Yun family gave the largest shares to Chenji Grain Store and Sunji Salt Store. , are all industries closely related to the government and require strong support from the government to survive.
Jin Fusheng, Guang Taichun, and Quan Ren Tang's business transactions had relatively few connections with the government, so they only gave Ye Mingsheng 20% of the shares!
