For example, there are twenty-four types of scented soaps, glassware of different shapes, ranging from full-length mirrors to hand-held cosmetic mirrors, glass brushes, glass pen mountains, glass windows, etc., as well as table salt, Chinese patent medicines, and matches.
, nails, farm tools, etc.
In short, Zheng Guoqi was a little dazzled by the hundreds of products.
Fortunately, he knew what he wanted, looked at the catalog, and then turned to the firearms page.
Black cannons and firearms full of murderous intent immediately appeared in his eyes.
The price is definitely very expensive, but after experiencing a fiasco, Zheng Guoqi felt that the price is not a big concern, the key is to get the goods well!
After some mental struggle, Zheng Guoqi chose 10,000 Thunderbolt 1646 export version rifles and 50 Napoleon cannons. With the remaining loan amount, in addition to buying part of the ammunition, he also chose some glassware, firecolor, and Chinese
Medicines and other commodities.
He is not stupid, he knows how well these goods will sell in Cochin.
You must know that he has dealt with Franji merchants for a period of time, so he has some understanding of making money from trade.
With the signing of an agreement between the Zheng regime and the Xinghai Kingdom, the Xinghai Kingdom is equivalent to having two more younger brothers in this area.
After careful selection, the Zheng regime sent five thousand people as the first batch of new army seedlings to Black Coal City to receive training from the Xinghai Kingdom.
Of course, this training is free, but food and accommodation cost money.
Fortunately, the fees charged by the Black Coal City are not high, otherwise, the Zheng regime would probably require another recruit training camp.
Time flies by like water, and in a blink of an eye, the New Year is here on Nanhai Island.
Compared to the last New Year, the naturalized residents of Nanhai Island feel as if they are in a dream.
Last New Year, those tenant farmers were still worried about how to pay off their debts, which made the new year sad.
But this New Year, every household on the South China Sea Island, including naturalized citizens working in factories, farms, and various departments, received some gifts before the New Year.
One is the year-end bonus, which is one month’s salary.
Well, most naturalized citizens don’t understand this year-end bonus. They feel that the elders are stupid and actually gave them white stainless steel coins for nothing.
The second is a 15 yuan coupon issued by the Ministry of National Development in order to activate the domestic economy.
Simply put, for every 5 yuan spent in those shops and supermarkets, you can use a 2 yuan coupon.
Coupled with the promotions being carried out by those shops and supermarkets near the New Year, those naturalized citizens who have learned some mathematical knowledge can easily calculate that if they buy something worth 5 yuan, they only need to spend 2 yuan!
This seems to be the benefit of picking it up for free!
Therefore, under the dual stimulation of coupons and preferential activities, naturalized citizens who used to keep their salary bonuses at home or store them in the bank and were reluctant to spend them will now go to major stores with their wives and children after get off work these days. , in the supermarket, faced with a dazzling array of products, I carefully calculated how many coupons I had left and how many products I could buy.
In short, there cannot be one yuan left in the coupon, it must be used completely, otherwise, they will feel that they have lost 100 million.
It has to be said that coupons have indeed played a significant role in stimulating economic activity.
At least those naturalized citizens are willing to use their saved money, so the chain growth effect produced is not as simple as a 15 yuan coupon.
Of course, this is not just to collect taxes and fees from economic activities to supplement the national finance, but to activate the economy as much as possible, enhance the happiness of the people, and thus stimulate the vitality of the entire country. This is the most fundamental reason.
The advantage of doing this is that naturalized citizens can be more energetic when studying and working, which greatly improves learning efficiency and production efficiency.
There is no need to mention these for now. After tasting the benefits of new firearms, the Zhaowu regime of Nanming immediately set off a craze to promote the purchase of new firearms.
It was not just Emperor Zhaowu here, but also the governor, who held great power, invited gentry families from all over the country to have dinner, and collected some money in the name of serving the country.
Of course, those gentry families are not without their benefits. At least their children can directly enter the Imperial College if they cannot study well.
Well, the current sacrificial wine in the Imperial College is the son and daughter-in-law of Governor Liu.
It may be said that the Imperial College is no longer as popular as it used to be, but it is still a shortcut to becoming an official.
After getting the money, the governor immediately recruited a group of elite soldiers from various places to form the second division of the new army.
Well, since the Xinghai Kingdom defeated the Qing army twice in a row, and the Qing army lost its armor and returned with a huge defeat, learning the Xinghai Navy system, tactics, etc. became the hobby of the generals in the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Under the influence of various reasons, the previous military system was completely changed to a star navy system.
What is commander, captain, sentry officer, general, garrison, etc. all turned into squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, etc.
It has to be said that after the military system was changed, when those officers heard their soldiers calling themselves company commander, battalion commander, etc., they felt an inexplicable feeling of great strength, and even the order of the entire military camp was invisibly changed.
It's gotten a lot better.
In addition to the governor, local governments also require the purchase of Xinghai firearms to prevent bandits, bandits and bandits from causing trouble, etc.
These are all procurement requirements on the surface, and maritime merchants and wealthy merchants from all over the country are also trying their best to purchase Xinghai firearms.
Chen Liuxiang was really happy that Xinghai Firearms suddenly sold so well.
But he is not an ordinary traveler after all. As a member of the Commercial and Trade Affairs Committee, he still has some overall perspective.
He raised this issue when Chief Executive Zheng Xiangdong convened a joint meeting of commerce, construction, and public security, whether the sale of firearms should be fully opened, whether a sales hierarchy and a sales sanctions list should be formulated, etc.
Zheng Xiangdong undoubtedly took his issue very seriously, and immediately informed the Ministry of Military Affairs of the matter, asking the Ministry of Military Affairs to evaluate the matter and formulate corresponding measures.
After Sun Xuebin learned about this matter, he took it very seriously and immediately handed the matter over to the staff room for discussion.
The final result of the discussion in the staff room was to allow the opening of the sales restrictions of the Thunderbolt 1646, but it must be uniformly trained by instructors sent by the Xinghai Kingdom. At the same time, except for the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Zheng family regime of Jiaozhi, the Thunderbolt 1646 sold to other forces
type, further castration is required.
No way, this was mainly to prevent excessive loss of firearms to the Qing army.
Obviously, after experiencing two consecutive disastrous defeats, no matter how much the Qing army advocates individual martial prowess, at this time, some smart people will turn their attention to the firearms of the Xinghai Kingdom.
