Xiao Letian's army is about to change clothes again, which is not good news for the Qing Dynasty, but it is great good news for some people within the Qing Dynasty.

The enslavement rule of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years completely cut off the development of natural science in China. At present, China's backwardness is no longer as simple as lacking a few new technologies.

The key is that the entire country does not even have the basic concept of science and technology!

Take the simplest rifle manufacturing, and human weapons have fully entered the era of double-tracking, that is, the era of rifling, but the Qing Dynasty was still the most primitive smoothbore gun.

Because no one in the Qing Dynasty knew how to create rifles!

In fact, Xiao Letian doesn’t understand either. He is not a engineering student. He just dabbled in some basic principles in his previous life because he loved some military history.

In other words, Xiao Letian just knows where a technology is produced and where we are going to find such technology!

In other words, Xiao Letian knows where a technological breakthrough is, and which breakthrough he will spend money!

That's all, Xiao Letian also needs countless foreign domestic engineers and scientists to assist him in completing a series of industrial upgrades.

The manufacturing of gun barrels seems simple, which is for people in the 21st century, but in the mid-to-late 19th century and even the early 21st century, the manufacturing of gun barrels was only a patent for Western factories.

Even Western factories only have a few countries with the most advanced technology, and other countries are also very backward.

Why did Xiao Letian stay in Europe for so long this time? Military and technological inspections are also very important!

When occupying France, Xiao Letian and his team of scientists visited the French arsenal. He was surprised to find that the French were still using the original rifling technology of single-point hooking.

Only a small number of factories can use multi-point broaching!

However, both technologies are technologies in the early stages of rifling invention, and it is conceivable how low the efficiency of French military industry is!

In fact, it was not France. At that time, most European countries adopted such technology!

Including Xiao Letian's Northern Industrial Special Zone, two sets of single-point hooking and boring machines in the arsenal, and a set of multi-point bending and boring machines, they are already the most advanced equipment in Asia.

It is precisely with such equipment that Xiao Lotte can restore the drawings of Spencer and Remington and other rifles. At present, the number of rifles produced in the Northern Industrial Special Zone has reached 3,000 per year.

Of course, it cannot be compared with the Prussians, but in Asia this is already an outrageously efficient.

But such technology is not enough, and Xiao Letian cannot be happy at all. What he wants is the technology of the United States and Germany!

In this era, Americans had just invented the die-pressing method to produce barrels, while Prussia and Germany are even more powerful, and have begun to use advanced hammer forging to produce barrels.

There is another very famous name for this method, which is cold forging!

The Chinese have been bleeding in Europe. The process of German reunification has the power of Xiao Letian, and these efforts have been rewarded. The Bersmad and the German royal family have all given the green light to the outflow of new technologies.

The cold forging barrel technology that the British do not have has been transported to the Tanggu Special Zone. In another five months, Xiao Lotte's arsenal can produce Mauser rifles in large quantities!

Xiao Letian predicts that Mauser will become a fixed weapon that will not change for 80 years in Chinese infantry, and the Chinese will enter a very long era of Mauser rifle!

Cold forging is a very efficient technology. By then, the production of Mauser rifles in the arsenal will definitely exceed 10,000 yuan a year, but the equipment from the past cannot be lost!

The yield of 3,000 Remingtons a year also needs to be digested!

Only the real core of rights in the Qing Dynasty knew about this news. Xiao Letian was going to gradually relax the arms trade in the Special Administrative Region. Heard that more than 3,000 cheap and affordable rifles flowed into the market a year.

This is a big business that I never dared to imagine before, and the huge profits in it are simply unimaginable!

From ancient times to the present, technological blockade has been a hotbed of huge profits, because no one in the Qing Dynasty could produce such a good barrel. Even if you can produce all other parts of the rifle independently, you can't create this barrel.

Because of monopoly, huge profits!

The ancients also understood this principle!

The news spread from Fuqing. The Industrial Special Zone is going out. This is a weapon made by the country. The quality is not worse than that of Europe. The price is much lower...at least the transportation cost is left.

However, the retail price is not much lower than that of European goods, and the profit in the middle is even higher!

The sales in Tanggu Industrial Special Zone mostly adopts a distribution system. Fuqing is the highest-level distributor in the Qing Dynasty, and Yili and Yiqiu are even lower.

Yili has made a fortune by just obtaining the second-level distribution rights of industrial products in the northwest region. What if it were the arms business?

I dare not think, I really dare not think, Yi Li's eyes are blue!

A handful of Remington is priced at 200 taels of silver in the northwest region, but if you get goods from the Industrial Special Zone, at most twenty or thirty taels of silver... a profit return of 100 times is enough to make everyone in the world crazy!

Listening to the deciphering of Xiaowu Ye Yi Qiong, Yi Li's greed flames completely broke out, and he had long since thrown the matter of the Ministry of Revenue asking for an official in Java.

"Fifth Brother! Are you talking about it? The amount of three thousand rifles flowing out a year? It's too small, too small..."

"It's only a plate of more than 300,000 taels, it's not enough to divide it!"

"You are stupid! You don't know that the Special Administrative Region needs to be expanded! Five months later, Prussian equipment has arrived, and the output has to be rolling upwards!"

"Thirty thousand pieces are possible at that time! What you want to grab now is the distribution rights, and you have to get the distribution rights first!"

"You are stupid!"

"Yes, yes... Brother is right. I'm robbing the distribution rights first, and then making money... But... But that boy Fuqing doesn't give me face!"

When Xiaowu Master Yi Qi became angry when he heard this, he said, "You are short-sighted, aren't you just going to the end of your way?"

"Two years ago, Fuqing was raising funds and said he wanted to expand the telegram network... How much did you pay? It's embarrassing. You are Prince Qing after all, so you're so embarrassed to pay 30,000 taels?"

"It's not that Fuqing doesn't pay interest, and he doesn't ask for your money for nothing. If you're embarrassed, just give it 30,000?"

"This is to give the Qing Dynasty National Repair Telegram Network, to seek benefits for our court. You have no intention at all? You have to do it even if you give it money for nothing!"

Yi Li made a big blushing face, "Oh... brother, why did you mention this? Didn't I transfer the purchase funds at that time?"

"Bad! You bought the entire opera troupe and spent more than 30,000 yuan. Would you have no money?"

"You're short-sighted! You don't think about it. Even if you spend money to get Fuqing's relationship closer, it's worth it! Are you stunned now?"

"To apply the famous quotes of Ryukyu, you are just a fool!"
