Lin Yun stepped into the palace gate and saw an old man with five willows and a long beard sitting upright on the Grand Master's chair.
He is said to be an old man because he is quite old. After all, Qi Rui is already thirty years old.
Qi Changyun is also in his fifties this year.
However, as an admiral of the Nine Sects, he is in his prime at this age.
When Qi Changyun heard the voice, he suddenly opened his eyes. He was wearing a general's aura.
Especially those slightly cloudy old eyes, the moment they saw Lin Yun, there was a glimmer of light.
Lin Yun sighed inwardly. This old man was definitely a figure. Before he said a word, he already felt strong oppression.
At this time, the momentum can only be cultivated by living in officialdom for a long time and leading troops to fight all year round.
Lin Yun quickly stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed, "I'm Lin Yun, I've met Mr. Qi!!"
Qi Changyun raised his head and laughed, quickly stood up and helped Lin Yun, saying with approval: "Not bad!" Sure enough, a hero comes from a boy! Mr. Lin, I have mentioned your deeds before, but I didn’t take it seriously. Today during the pilgrimage, I realized that I was ignorant and almost missed a hero like Mr. Lin! ! "
Lin Yun said with a smile: "Lord Qi, you are exaggerating! I am just a concubine from the Lin family! Now, thanks to the emperor's favor, I have gradually risen to prominence, and it is also inseparable from Commander Qi's help. How dare I show off in front of you? If we talk about heroes, , then it has to be Mr. Qi! If it weren’t for your support back then, our Daduan Dynasty would never be as prosperous as it is today!”
On the side, Qi Rui twitched the corners of his mouth, sighing secretly that Lin Yun was so awesome, he couldn't even say such a shameless flattery.
But it was also the first time I saw Lin Yun talk so well.
Qi Changtian nodded and smiled and said: "Okay, let's stop flattering each other! I have no other intention of coming here this time, I just want to make friends with Lin Xiaoyou, that's all!"
Lin Yun obviously paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "How can I be so virtuous and capable as to be able to talk to Master Qi as my equal! I am really ashamed of myself! You are the elder, and I am younger than Commander Qi, so I should call you uncle." of!"
Qi Changtian looked at his son with bright eyes and said in a deep voice, "You brat, did you hear that? If you were half as capable as Young Master Lin, my Qi family would have been a proud ancestor long ago!"
Qi Rui smiled awkwardly and could only nod in response.
After the guest of honor took his seat, Lin Yun tentatively said, "Master Qi, you are here so late, maybe you are just here to make friends with me? If you have anything to do, just say it. If I can help you, I will do my best."
Lin Yun is so scheming, he naturally understands that if he wants to gain something, he must first make sacrifices.
Moreover, taking the initiative to clarify his position will only benefit him now, without any harm.
If you are arrogant because of your favor and make arrogant remarks just because you have met the emperor, you are seeking death.
Qi Changyun let out a long sigh, nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Lin is quick to speak, so I won't hide it anymore! I do have something to ask for when I come here this time!"
Lin Yun leaned forward slightly and asked, "I wonder what Master Qi wants?"
"I heard from Quanzi that Mr. Lin has a new type of weapon in his hands. It is very lethal and will be extremely powerful when used at this time! I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to give up his love? Can you provide some for my infantry commander's yamen?"
Lin Yun had already guessed that this would be the case, so he pretended to think deeply and said: "Master Qi, it stands to reason that this weapon is developed for human use, but... the weapon I developed is different! Don't do it easily I hope Master Qi won’t blame me for giving it away!”
Qi Changyun also expected that Lin Yun would not agree easily, and smiled slightly: "Master Lin, I will never take your weapons in vain! I heard Quanzi said that he wanted to sell minerals, if you can provide me with new weapons for the infantry commander's office Weapons, then...I can help with this matter!!"
Lin Yun was secretly happy. Using new weapons to bribe the nine admirals could not only make money, but also make favors. This was a great thing.
But Lin Yun knew that the purpose of negotiation was to maximize benefits, so he fell into deep thought again.
When Qi Rui saw Lin Yun's expression, he thought he wanted to refuse. When he was about to speak, Qi Changyun stopped him with his eyes, signaling him not to speak.
After that, both father and son were silent
wait.
After a cup of tea, Lin Yun said: "Mr. Qi, I can indeed provide this new weapon, but... the quantity is not large! It's not that I can't bear to part with it, but it's extremely difficult to make it! Even if I do, now There’s no way to mass-produce it!”
"No problem! Mr. Lin, can you come up with a specific amount?"
Qi Changyun was very anxious at the moment and kept chasing after him, hoping to make Lin Yun express his position as soon as possible.
Lin Yun smiled slightly, raised his right palm and said, "Give me three months, I can provide you with this number!"
Qi Changyun frowned and said, "Five branches? Is this too few?"
"Lord Qi, I don't know. The new weapons are good, but I have also said that they are extremely difficult to manufacture. Many precision parts need to be made by hand by skilled masters! It takes a lot of time! If it can be really big By mass manufacturing, our private army in Niubei Village has already been armed! Commander Qi also knows this!"
Qi Changyun looked at his son, and Qi Rui nodded.
At this moment, he naturally did not dare to open his eyes and tell lies.
Qi Changyun nodded and said: "Okay, in that case, we can make as many new weapons as we can. In addition, prepare another hundred bamboo guns for me! As much silver as you need, let's get it one by one!"
Seeing that Qi Changyun was still honest, Lin Yun nodded and said: "Normally, a bamboo gun costs fifty taels of silver, but since Master Qi wants it, I will give you a family price of ten taels of silver for a bamboo gun. , as for the ammunition required, it’s only one tael of silver per ammunition!”
Qi Changyun made some calculations and then nodded with satisfaction.
Qi Rui also calculated silently, seeming to realize something was wrong, and asked: "Mr. Lin, when you talked to Mr. Cui during the day, didn't you say one hundred taels of silver and one bullet?"
Lin Yun raised his head and laughed, saying, "Commander Qi, I told you that the price I paid to Mr. Qi is the price of family affection! How could I accidentally injure friendly troops?"
Qi Changyun also laughed and said, "Chi'er, you are also the commander of the Imperial Guards now, why can't you listen to me?"
Qi Rui was embarrassed and at a loss, so he could only smile and nod.
Lin Yun continued: "What's more, what Mr. Cui is asking for during the day is bullets for new weapons. The manufacturing process of the bullets is complex and very difficult, so the price is bound to be high. However, ordinary bamboo gun ammunition is not that difficult and the price is low. That’s what it should be!”
Only then did Qi Rui suddenly realize. .
The three of them were chatting happily. At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and a palace maid said through the palace door: "Mr. Lin, Princess Baguio outside the palace wants to see you!"
