Kelly sneered, "You also know that the goods you sell are from my Datang, or you are trafficked from outside my Datang!"

Looking at Meiren and many businessmen in Taiwan puzzled, Wang Keda said, "When the imperial court promulgated the decree, it was clearly written that a certain tax was charged for goods entering and leaving China’s Datang border. Since your goods are all made in China’s Datang, they are not from outside the Datang. How did you get the so-called increase? Do you have nothing to do but take your trafficked goods outside the Datang before you come back? If this is the case, the official would also like to thank you for your contribution to Datang tax revenue, but this cannot be the reason for your price increase! "
Kelly’s words provoked everyone in Taiwan to burst into laughter. Just now, I was still very nervous, which eased a lot. However, for Meiren, this is not a good thing. I suddenly came up with a reason from slack. In front of Kelly, just like a three-year-old child who wants to fight a strong man, Kelly knocked himself down with a gentle touch, and there is no room to fight back.
Now MeiRenCai realized that he had been completely cornered by Kelly, but he couldn’t find any reason to argue. It was also because he could easily say that he had won, but he couldn’t think of it. It was untenable for him to come up with a reason to say that he was dumb than himself.
Meiren’s heart is sinking to the bottom now, and he also feels that he can’t pass this today.
As MeiRen paranoia ear again Kelly that cold voice "mei big boss have any questions? Officer, I’m here today to see what you have to say. You want to plead not guilty, but don’t even think about it! "
Kelly’s words are malicious, so people will know that he spent time with Meiren today. However, Taiwanese people are so-called. Anyway, it is good to watch more meetings. Anyway, this idleness is also idle, and Taiwanese people are also holding the so-called mentality. For Kelly, they have never seen it. With a mouth and nothing special in their eyes, it is really amazing to be able to make people speak the truth.
Meiren is helpless now, and his face is getting paler and paler. At this time, he has lost his fighting spirit and feels that he and Wang Ke will not have their own good.
Meiren knelt on the stage and said dejectedly, "Adults and Wang pleaded guilty and begged adults to see that Wang was a first-time offender and could be given a lighter punishment!" Say that finish constantly kowtowing to Kelly.
Kelly also knew that Meiren was telling the truth at this time, so he would no longer ask questions. Let Meiren sign the words directly. After seeing the bright red handprint on the paper, he waved to the chief to wear a cangue for Meiren, and then waved to Zhang Yingying to announce Meiren’s guilt. He went to the back chair and sat down.
Now that he has finished the next task, it is brinton. At this time, Wang Ying slowly stepped forward and took out the manager’s good judgment and read it again. At that time, he had not thought about how to deal with it strictly, that is, he had to confiscate the income and punish Meiren twice, and then he was released on bail by his family. But now brinton remembered that he had been treated and punished, and immediately he was severely punished. I heard that Kelly was sweating.
Zhang Ying read aloud with a verdict: "The profiteer Meiren used the imperial court’s decrees to make him lose his wits in an attempt to drive up prices, which seriously disrupted the social order and increased the burden on the people. Now the evidence is conclusive. According to the law of the Great Tang Dynasty, a judgment was made to confiscate the illegal income, and the base of the illegal income was ten times. After three months, the offender was sent to the mine to be released on bail by his family, and he was not allowed to leave Chang’ an for three years and report his whereabouts every five days."
Meiren collapsed on hearing this punishment. It’s all right. It makes him a miner, which is a bit torturous. Meiren inherited his ancestral industry and has never suffered since he was a child. What about his business if he wants to dig wells and mines? But today, I’m too ignorant to offend these big ye, or I’m resigned.
Taiwanese people dispersed in a hubbub when they saw the verdict was finished, but everyone’s psychology was different, especially those businessmen, who were thinking of raising their prices and lowering the prices of their goods quickly after returning home.
Aside, the chief has been idle for most of the day. At this time, he dragged Meiren into the prison car and took Kelly away. This was the only time to say goodbye to his home with Brinton. Brinton rushed back to the yamen to write the case file.
Chapter DiErSiEr test flight
When I got home, Kelly was stopped by Nanping. It was a complaint that Kelly didn’t make it clear to them in advance, and they had to raise prices. It was really troublesome to come down again!
Kelly didn’t expect that this matter had just ended, and they knew that it was not too white to reduce the price of horses. What do you mean, have all those shops already reduced their prices?
Kelly smile apologetically said, "the wife is not I don’t say this thing didn’t finish the trial you call me how to say! Besides, isn’t this good now? Why do you want to reduce the price! "
Kelly said this is actually looking for reasons for himself. When he gave them advice, he actually knew that the whole thing was going. At that time, he was thinking about how to tell them whether to raise the price or not, and it was not related to the trial. All of them forgot that Nanping said it now and remembered to find a reasonable reason for himself.
Where can Nanping not know Kelly’s mind? With a sneer on his face, he said, "When did the general get so serious? We have to wait until the matter is over. Now it’s okay, general. Everyone has restored the original price in the first instance. The general said, should we also reduce the price?"
Wang Ke stayed for a while, but he didn’t expect that it was really immediate today. It was just after the trial, and then these people resumed the original price. If this is the case, it is really a shame for Nanping to adjust the price.
Kelly hurriedly said, "Are the prices reduced? Then you also drop it. What’s the matter? Let’s put out a notice to tell you why and when to restore the original price or lower it on the previous basis. You can discuss it yourself. What’s there to say? This also shows that you are honest and not arbitrarily raising prices. This is a good thing! "
It really feels like this when Nanping is said by Kelly. Think about it, too. This price increase is also due to the fact that I bought raw materials that are more expensive than before. Now my mind has dropped back to the previous price. When I raised the price, I posted it in the notice. It was also plain that I wanted to lower the price of raw materials. Now another notice says that there is nothing wrong with it. Just like Kelly said, I still seem to be honest and didn’t deliberately raise the price. Maybe this will really bring some benefits to my store.
After figuring this out, Nanping smiled at Kelly and turned to think about the kitchen without talking. She still had dinner in her heart today.
Kelly stared at Nanping’s back, and it was Nanping’s smile just now. It’s not that Nanping didn’t smile at Wang Ke before, but just now Nanping was still complaining about Kelly’s brilliant smile at Kelly in an instant, which made Kelly feel that the gap was too big, and there were still some reactions at the moment.
Just when Kelly became speechless, Li Ke came in and looked at Kelly. wait for a while was there alone. What was he doing? Li Ke looked around and made sure that there was no one else except Kelly before he waved his hand in front of Kelly.
Kelly felt dark at the moment and turned to see that Li Ke was coming. He didn’t good the spirit and asked, "The temple is coming. Why didn’t you eat at home and come to my place to rub rice?"
Li Ke was not angry with Kelly’s words. He knew that Kelly was just teasing himself and smiled and said, "It depends on how B-brother decides whether to eat or not. If I go to see it with my younger brother, it’s no problem for me to have a meal at B-brother’s house. If B-brother follows my younger brother now, I just want to eat and I can’t eat."
Kelly couldn’t finish saying this to Li Ke. He didn’t know what he was going out to do with Li Ke at this time. Li Ke used to be ridiculous to have fun everywhere, but he has become very honest since he started working in the imperial court. Every day, except when he was in his office to deal with a necessary business farewell, he was squatting in the weapons preparation bureau. He didn’t go anywhere except to come to his own house for something. What’s going on today?
Kelly unknowingly said some doubts, "Slow down the temple or make things clear. It’s getting dark. Where is the temple going?"! To put it bluntly today, I dare not follow the temple around. "
Li Ke saw that Kelly really didn’t understand what he meant. Think about it. He also asked Kelly to go out with himself at this time, but he didn’t say what it was. He didn’t do it before. Anyone else would not understand it.
But Li Ke still doesn’t want to tell Kelly things now. He doesn’t know if it’s a good thing to show Kelly today. If it’s a good thing, it’s just that if what he did was scolded by Kelly at Kelly’s home, he would be humiliated. How can he come here after so many people have seen it?
Li Ke was a whole said "b-brother still don’t believe the younger brother? I must have something important to find my brother at this time. My brother believes that I will go and see it with Ke once! "
Kelly heard Li Ke’s words in front of him and thought about asking Doby Li Ke to say that he wanted to come to his home for dinner. But Li Ke’s words behind him really made Kelly unable to say anything. Plus Li Ke’s serious face, Kelly knew that Li Ke was looking for himself today and really had business to do!
Kelly hurriedly said, "is it urgent? Do you have to do it today? If you wait for me to say to my family, we will leave! "
Kelly and MeiRenDou mouth came home today just feel a little tired, this Li Ke came to join in the fun again. If it’s urgent, Kelly also can’t say anything. He must go with Li Ke to see it. If it’s not urgent, he still wants to take a rest and go to see it early in the morning.
Li Ke listened to Kelly’s question to free himself from his joy. He was embarrassed to say, "It’s not very urgent. I want to make a few little things for B-brother to decide whether it is suitable for B-brother. If it doesn’t work, I can go to see it in the day."
Kelly a listen to the original is the way it is, can’t help but stared at Li Ke and said, "Isn’t something great happened? You were so nervous just now, and what happened to me! Forget it, just have a meal at my house today. I’ll pick you up at your house early in the morning and we’ll go and see. Now, tell me what you’ve made first. "
It’s no big deal. Kelly is not in a hurry. He said hello to Li Ke and sat down.
Li Ke sat down and said, "Let’s not talk about this. You’ll know when you go to see it. Now, if you want me to say it, I can’t tell you clearly. Let’s go and see it yourself."
Wang Ke saw that Li Ke also punched Li Ke gently on his chest and said, "What’s so hard to say? Have you developed any new weapons there?"
When Li Ke saw that Kelly was adamant, he knew that he couldn’t get through without revealing a little today. "Well, at this time, craftsmen there were thinking about a problem. Now we have made a lot of artillery pieces, big and small. But even if these artillery pieces are small, they must be operated by several people. Can you develop some personal weapons according to the principle of artillery now?"
Kelly a listen to this horse jumped up from the sofa, he never thought that Li Ke they would have such an idea. If this idea can be realized, it doesn’t mean that muskets were born! However, Kelly knew that the musket made according to the principle of artillery was not the kind that he had seen in later generations. It can be said that he had seen the firing of the musket from the front of the barrel in a film and television drama. It seemed to be called the matchlock musket, and even the flintlock musket was not as good as the original musket. He had never thought about making such a thing for a long time, but he also knew that it was impossible to make a gun like that in later generations without precision equipment. He never said it. I didn’t expect Li Ke to think of it himself.
Li Ke saw that Kelly was so frightened that his words made Kelly not believe that he was lying. He hurriedly explained, "Don’t worry, B-brother, we have already made this thing and tested it. Although it is not very good, it is still ok. All I want to do is let B-brother go and see if there is anything that needs improvement."
As soon as Kelly heard everything, he also made a test firing, which means that this gun is sure to work. It is also white in Kelly that this weapon is definitely not firing fast, but it is quite good to be able to make such a thing in this situation.
Kelly immediately sat down and asked, "Is this kind of firearm more complicated than artillery and its shooting speed is slow? Although the whole firearm can be moved by a soldier, it still looks heavy!"
Kelly words startled Li Ke. Li Ke didn’t understand that Wang Ke didn’t see this thing. It’s a bit weird to say so much. Can this Kelly pinch it?
Looking at Li Ke with a puzzled face, Kelly knew what Li Ke was thinking and said with a smile, "Well, I’ll explain it to you. Now my ironmaking skills are not very high, and I can’t refine the fine iron needed for this kind of firearm. There is also a need to make this kind of firearm. Now, if you want to make it and prevent it from exploding, you can thicken the whole pipe wall, so the weight will increase a lot. Because you are imitating the principle of artillery, this projectile loading is a big problem. After each launch, you have to turn the muzzle to load it from the muzzle, which will slow down, won’
Li Ke a foolish muttered, "Say yes! It turns out that B-brother knows what’s going on! But what did Brother Wang say about the muzzle? "
Kelly ha ha smiled. "This kind of firearm is called musket house. I call the shooting mouth the muzzle, and the iron pipe for firing projectiles is called the barrel."
Li Ke also ignored what Kelly knew and said eagerly, "Brother, just tell me how to improve this and muskets. I am so happy to see this thing. It would be great if it could be used conveniently!"
Kelly certainly knows what the appearance of musket means, which will be of epoch-making significance, and it will make cold weapons lose their value and hot weapons enter the stage.
But this thing is not just a touch, and there is still a long way to go. It is a very troublesome thing to make this steel smelting. Just now, when Kelly said refined iron instead of steel, he thought of Li Ke. They probably have never heard of the word steel, let alone seen it.
Now it seems that it is time to make it clear to them that it is time to develop this matter, and the problem of sewing steel pipes must also be solved, otherwise there will be nothing to do with guns
But what about this equipment? I can’t do it without equipment. I know that I can’t make the hand-cranked machine tool tired, but I can barely make it. But I don’t know anything about the machine tool. It’s not that simple to build it. It seems that there are so many things to do. There are a lot of hot air balloons and airship materials there, and I don’t know what to do. Now it’s really annoying for me to come out with another thing.
Kelly looked bleak and said, "Forget it today. It’s not easy to say this for a while. Let’s go there together earlier. It’s also easier to say it when watching you make physical objects."
Li Ke see Kelly now also don’t have the mind to say this thing, also know that Kelly has a lot to say, but now I don’t know how to start, and I don’t want to ask any more questions. I hope I can hurry over at this moment so that Kelly can tell himself everything he wants to say.
Chapter DiErSiSan What’s it like to be a day?
Get up early, Kelly told Wang Si that as soon as he went back, he came to Li Ke’s house to meet Li Ke, and went to the Weapons and Equipment Bureau to catch him. Now he is anxious to see what Li Ke’s muskets are like when they come out.
Li Ke’s mood is the same as Kelly’s. I haven’t slept since I came back from Kelly’s home yesterday. I’ve been waiting for Wang Ke to pick me up and go to see it together. Even now I’m sitting in Wang Ke’s car, and I still can’t wait.
The two men came all the way to the Weapons and Equipment Bureau. This time, Li Ke was no longer accompanying Kelly himself. As soon as he entered the gate, he asked someone to call the person in charge of musket development. He took Kelly directly to the place where muskets were placed.
Kelly walked into the room and didn’t care what Li Ke said. In a few steps, he jumped to the table where the musket was placed. Kelly didn’t immediately start to pick up the gun but looked around the table.
It can be seen that these muskets are made of metal with thick barrels. Kelly doesn’t want to be white. The barrel must be made of the same material as the artillery. There is nothing, that is to say, there is no sight, and there is no gap in the sight. If it is not a grip, it will be a large artillery pocket.
It seems that Huang Cancan’s handle must be made of copper or wrapped in copper, which seems to play a hand-holding function without any aesthetic considerations, let alone ergonomics.
Kelly carefully reached out his hand to this so-called musket. Just when I remembered it, I felt that this musket was not generally heavy, so I couldn’t really pick it up. Kelly shook his head and tried to take it into his hand and read it in four miles.
As soon as Li Ke saw Kelly shake his head, he knew that Kelly was not satisfied with this thing and came in a hurry and asked, "B-brother, is this wrong?"
A listen to Li Ke ask yourself Kelly very anxious to put this musket a hit in Li Ke head this thing can? And ask yourself if it’s right.
Kelly said grumpily, "It’s good for you to have this idea about what, but you’d better come and tell me before you do it!"! Now it’s not much. "
Li Ke muttered, "I tried, but it’s ok, but as you said, it takes a long time to load ammunition every time I shoot. Don’t seem to have nothing."
