    "Duke Brand, Lord Lopez!"

    "This bullet is indeed not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I think your Spanish army can sweep across Europe, and our Ming Dynasty's arms and weapons are also indispensable."

    "The reason why the rifles of our Ming Empire are very accurate, fast-firing, and long-range is entirely because we have made new innovations in bullets, which has led to the rapid progress and development of rifle technology."

    "If you think it's expensive, we also have traditional muskets and gunpowder here, and that one is much cheaper."

    ¡¾To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu recently to read and catch up on books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.yeguoyuedu.com is available for Android and Apple.  ¡¿

    Xie Yunshan listened to the two shouting "gui" and explained with a smile.

    "That's true!"

    After hearing this, Duke Brand had to admit one thing, that is, the quality of the arms and weapons of the Ming Dynasty is really impeccable. The rifles of the Ming Dynasty have completely surpassed the muskets produced by the Europeans in Europe.

    The Spanish Empire was able to achieve its current results entirely because of the rifles of the Ming Dynasty. Especially at the beginning of the war, relying on powerful rifles to fight against the enemy's muskets had a very obvious advantage and a very significant effect.

    ??Almost defeated the armies of France and the Holy Roman Empire. Despite fighting on multiple fronts, the Spanish Empire still won many major battles.

    Not only did it complete the strategy of attacking France from the north to the south, but it also won successive victories on the side of the Holy Roman Empire. It also defeated the maritime coalition of England and France at sea. Even in the Mediterranean battlefield, the Spanish Empire's army was about to reach the Italian peninsula.  went.

    "So this is a deal where you get what you pay for. Although things are expensive, they are worth every penny."

    Xie Yunshan smiled and said.

    "Mr. Xie, can this be cheaper? We want a larger quantity."

    Pelos thought for a while and asked.

    "It depends on how much you want."

    "Of course you can get discounts if you want more. I can also give you some arms and weapons as gifts."

    Xie Yunshan said cheerfully.

    "There are 10,000 rounds of artillery shells and 100,000 groups of bullets!"

    ¡°In addition, we also want to purchase some more arms and weapons, including 50,000 Type 26 rifles and 500 Miyun cannons!¡±

    "In addition, there will be 20,000 sabers, 20,000 pairs of armor, 100,000 sets of military uniforms, and 30 ships of food!"

    Pelos took out a shopping list with a lot of things listed on it. He simply reported the most important needs for arms and weapons.

    Now during the war, Charles V of the Spanish Empire is still conscripting and expanding the army on a large scale. Not only the new army, but also the traditional cavalry and infantry using muskets are also constantly expanding.

    This requires a lot of things, from arms and weapons to food and grass, to soldiers' clothes and boots, etc., these are all businesses.

    On the one hand, Spain is working hard to produce, and on the other hand, it is buying directly from the Ming Empire, because buying many things directly from the Ming people is faster and cheaper.

    In terms of military clothing, Daming people's clothing is very cheap, and they can also design it beautifully for you. After wearing it, you will feel more energetic and have a sense of military honor. They can also put a Spanish army label on it, etc.  .

    "If Spain produces it itself, it will not only be slow and costly, but the quality will also be far inferior to what was produced by the Ming Dynasty. How will it be done if everyone is there?"

    As for food, the people of Ming Dynasty sell special military rations. They are all packed in bags. It is also very convenient to use. Just boil water and put it in to cook.

    Not only is the quantity large, the quality is good, and you are full, but the key is that you can eat well. It contains not only dehydrated dried vegetables, but also beef cubes, pork cubes, fried fish cubes, etc., which are very delicious.

    Compared with the horse bread that has always been popular in Europe, black bread is much better. Spanish soldiers reported that they like to eat this military grain and do not want to eat bread.

    These military rations, made according to the needs of the Ming Dynasty's army, are well packaged, easy to transport, simple to use, taste good, have guaranteed nutrition, and are cheap.

    It doesn¡¯t work if you don¡¯t buy it.

    "10,000 rounds of artillery shells are worth 200,000 taels of silver, 100,000 sets of bullets are worth 1 million taels of silver, 50,000 Type 26 rifles are worth 15 million taels of silver, 500 Miyun cannons are worth 10 million taels of silver, which adds up to 26.2 million  Two pieces of silver."

    "20,000 sabers and 100,000 taels of silver, 20,000 pairs of armor and 100,000 taels of silver?? is particularly excessive.

    This huge order of 30 million taels of silver not only crippled the Tianjin Ocean Trading Company, but also stretched the Ming Dynasty Military Factory to its full capacity. The profits were too huge.

    As for those military uniforms, military rations, sabers, armors, etc., they are cheap, and the profits therein are relatively limited. After all, the Spaniards can also make them themselves.

    Selling these things cheaper can not only absorb their own production capacity, but also dampen the enthusiasm of Europeans to produce by themselves. They gradually become dependent on Ming's products and become an important dumping ground for Ming's products, solving the problem of Ming's increasing production capacity.  Expansion leads to unsalable problems.

    "Refreshing!"

    Seeing Xie Yunshan readily agreed, Peros and Brand also waved their hands happily. Soon, officials and soldiers came in carrying large boxes, which contained neat boxes of silver dollars and banknotes.  , all of them are understood to be exchanged in the First Bank of Ming Dynasty.

    ¡°The blood of countless French nobles is flowing inside this silver.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
