Qin Meng put down his wine glass and said very solemnly, "Brother, now that the Great Sui is dominating the world and the world is peaceful, do you think that, as the world's ordnance manufacturing yamen, the Shaofu Supervisor is still necessary to study new types of ordnance? Will it be rewarded as usual there?"
Du Yu frowned as if choked.
Du Yu really didn't think about this issue.
but. Qin Meng mentioned it today. Du Yu was a wise man. After a little thought, he immediately understood what Qin Meng meant.
Yup. The world is peaceful, and swords and guns are in the warehouse. When the horses are released in Nanshan, there are no killings, let alone weapons, and those who are accustomed to warfare. What can they do? Isn't it disarming and returning to the field and letting go to the countryside
Don't think about it for too long. Du Yu soon became reluctant, and had to shook his head again.
Qin Meng filled Du Yu's wine glass with wine, then poured it on himself, raising the glass and saying, "Now, in peaceful times, all we need is stability. No one likes swords, lights, and shadows. This is the case for the common people, the saints, and so on. ."
Du Yu was a little at a loss. When Qin Meng clinked a glass with him, seeing Qin Meng drank a drink, he also took a drink.
"Brother, since I'm talking about it, I must have taught you something?"
Qin Meng put down the wine glass and said sincerely: "Brother, now, Jiangnan is not yet fully stabilized, and the Shaofu Supervisor is still useful, but in the future, as the world becomes more stable, the Shaofu Supervisor may not be so important. From my younger brother’s opinion, the Superintendent of the Young Master should use the manufacturing technology he has mastered to benefit the people’s livelihood. Only in this way can he be favored by the Holy Supreme."
Du Yu frowned, did not speak, picked up the jug, pouring one cup after another.
After a long while, Du Yu put down his wine glass and said, "The old man has some truth in what he said. Could it be that what he said outside is something for civilian use?"
Qin Meng smiled and said, "Brother, what the younger brother thinks is really not for the people's livelihood. However, what the younger brother imagined. At present, only the young man can make it, and it is a huge profit."
"Great profit? What a huge profit method?"
"Nowadays, the people are stable, and everyone has a lot of savings when they are running around for their livelihoods. When there is no worries about their livelihoods, they must have spiritual needs. Especially the capital, the place where the great Sui meritorious deeds gather, and the sacred master The rewards are more than huge? As long as they can create stimuli that they have never had before, they are willing to spend how much money."
Du Yu laughed at once: "My brother. I really can't see your routine a bit. You said there are good things to make trouble, is it for the rich children to have fun?"
"Brother, you really don't look down on eating, drinking, and having fun. In the future, whoever has money will be able to live freely. Today, my little brother puts the words here and pursues profit. It will become the daily life of all people. Brother, you have a young government supervisor. He has the power of function, and my brother has the power of local management of Jingzhao Mansion. When we work together, not only will you and my brothers get rich, but the surrounding brotherhoods will follow, and the taxation of the Sui Dynasty will also make the saint's face relieved."
Du Yu was silent for a long time without speaking.
Qin Meng knew that Du Yu was skeptical, so he smiled and said, "Brother. Brother, I didn't expect to convince you at once. In this way, let's work together on one thing. You can see what the future holds before you make a decision. Okay. ?"
Du Yu pondered for a long time and said: "Could it be that the good things you said outside are referring to this?"
"Well, what the younger brother is referring to. At the moment, only the young government supervisor can supervise the manufacture of gunpowder. This thing can not only be used to make ordnance, but also can be used to make fireworks and firecrackers. It is a must-have for civilian use. Brother, you Think about it, gunpowder is monopolized by the Shaofu Supervision Department. This thing can only be used with the authorization of the Shaofu Supervision Department. The world's fireworks and firecrackers are sold to our family. This profit is not much more than salt and iron. If it is made well. It’s even higher than the profit of salt and iron! At that time, the bulk of the profits will go to the country, and the small profits will go to our brothers. By the way, let our brothers and brothers follow the points. Isn't it hello and me? How are you?"
Du Yu could understand Qin Meng's idea, but. He also saw the key to this.
One of them is the need for the supervisory power of the Shaofu Supervisor. The other is the basis of all Qin Meng's descriptions, that is, the things he made, the things called fireworks, which are attractive enough to really become a necessary fashion for people.
Qin Meng knew that Du Yu was hesitating, and then said: "Brother. Didn't you say that, let's try first. If it succeeds, let's go ahead. If it fails, you can immediately turn your face and deny it, and you will not lose. What, why not do it?"
Du Yu was completely moved and nodded, "Okay, then try. Brother, what do you need your brother to cooperate with?"
"Everything else is easy to discuss. The most important thing is that you must have the authorization of the Shaofu Supervisor, Secretary Yamen. As long as there is authorization, we are legal and no one can pick something up." (End of this chapter)
