Outside the Qi Palace, Cao Zhengyang looked at the three big bronzing characters on the plaque in a daze.

Now that Yue Yun and the others have returned to Qingzhou, they are equivalent to fulfilling the Cao family's promise. Naturally, he came to Qingzhou again this time to open the Cao family bank in the Qi king's fief.

At the same time, he brought two million stone grains that the King of Chu sold to King Qi.

It can be said that these tangible profits are the sincerity of the Cao family this time.

After waiting outside the door for a while, a royal family member led him into the Qi Palace. He looked at this place along the way, and was a little surprised to find that the Qi Palace must be too simple.

When he arrived at the main hall, he saw King Qi who was already waiting there. He walked a few steps quickly and bowed and said, "Your Highness."

"Last time you told your father about the northern barbarians, how did you discuss it?" Xiao Wen held the scroll in his hand and looked a little tired.

"Back to your Highness, this time your Highness is going to expedition to the Barbarian Clan, our Cao family is willing to give out five hundred thousand taels of supplies, and hope that your Highness can win the victory." Cao Zhengyang said loudly.

"Five hundred thousand taels?" Xiao Ming suddenly smiled. This Cao family was really lavish, and the five hundred thousand taels were enough for a quarter of the barbarians' military expenditure in the Northern Expedition.

Cao Zhengyang nodded, "His Royal Highness, are you satisfied with this number?"

"Satisfied, of course satisfied." In fact, after Xiao Ming announced the Northern Expedition fundraising plan in the Chamber of Commerce, few foreign businessmen responded to this matter except for local businessmen in Qingzhou.

After all, many people didn't believe that Xiao Ming was able to win the conquest of the barbarians.

Cao Zhengyang agreed with a smile and put forward the real purpose of this time, "His Royal Highness, what about the Cao family bank?"

"Since I have promised you, this king will keep his promise, and your Cao family can open a bank in this king's fief."

Qingzhou Bank has not yet been established, and the government lacks money. Although this Cao family bank will have some impact on Qingzhou Bank in the early stage, in the long run, the Cao family bank will not be able to compete with Qingzhou Bank in the later stage.

After all, Xiao Ming's ultimate goal is to establish a gold-based monetary system, and the Cao family bank is just a silver-based original bank. It is only a matter of minutes to kill the Cao family bank when he issues currency.

Playing finance with him, this Cao family is still far behind.

It was for this reason that he would allow the Cao family to enter Qingzhou to open a bank, because the current Cao family bank can promote the development of Qingzhou and provide financial support to the people and businessmen of the fief.

And his positioning of the Cao family is only here. If the Cao family wants to stifle him like Western capitalists, then the Cao family thinks too much.

"Thank you, your Highness. In addition, during this time, we will provide two million shi of food to His Highness. Together with the food of the Cao family, the total is 2.5 million shi of food to His Highness. We hope to solve His Highness's urgent need. "

This grain is also the condition that the Cao family promised him at the beginning, and the purpose is to establish a bank as a condition.

It can be seen that the Cao family is very interested in the banking industry. In this era, such thinking is beyond many merchants in Great Chongqing.

Xiao Ming nodded and smiled slightly to express his satisfaction.

Now the tentacles of the Cao family have extended to Qingzhou, he has to make good use of the richest man in the country.

After making this decision, Cao Zhengyang left thankfully. According to his plan, he was ready to buy real estate and establish a bank in Qingzhou.

Watching Cao Zhengyang leave, Xiao Ming smiled. A local rich man did not know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Sending away Cao Zhengyang, Xiao Ming went to Qingzhou camp without any problems. Now the number of flintlocks installed by the Qingzhou army has reached 3,000, and more flintlocks will be installed in the next few months.

It is based on this that he is confident that he can launch an offensive against the barbarians in the fall.

"His Royal Highness, let's practice well."

Lu Fei walked over with a waist knife. After placing the flintlock rifle, Lu Fei and other generals still carried the sabre.

In this era of mixed hot and cold weapons, sometimes cold weapons will also play a stable role in hand-to-hand combat.

Looking at the soldier Xiao Ming who was training the hollow square, he nodded.

"The changes in this formation look a little bit different, but the speed at which the soldiers fill bullets needs to be improved. This is too slow." Xiao Ming said as he looked at the soldiers who were simulating loading bullets.

At this speed, it would be good for a soldier of the Qingzhou Army to fire two bullets a minute, and his requirement is a minimum of three.

Lu Fei scratched his head, "The main formations that I practice these days, this filling is a bit less, and I will focus on strengthening it below."

Xiao Ming continued to look at the other captains, some of whom were taking soldiers to practice bayonet.

Scarecrows have been **** on the school field. Soldiers are practicing bayonets against scarecrows with bayonets.

Another school lieutenant distributed wooden sticks with cloth on the head to the soldiers. The soldiers were competing with the sticks~www.ltnovel.com~ This wooden stick represents the bayonet.

"Yes, it seems that what you have learned in the school has been applied." Xiao Ming said.

Lu Fei laughed and said, "It's better to teach your Highness."

"Don't be humble about this. You still need to come to the actual operation. By the way, where are the chariots of the chariots? How about going to see the chariots made by the military workshop?"

"His Royal Highness, this chariot is really good. Today, the military workshop just sent three of them, saying that it is for us to familiarize ourselves with the structure in advance." Lu Fei said.

They talked all the way to the east of the schoolyard, and Niu Ben was also here at this time.

Speaking of this chariot or Niu Ben proposed it, he just made it clear at the meeting, after all, he is better at dealing with cavalry Niu Ben, he just designed a chariot.

"Your Highness." Niu Ben was explaining the car formation to the soldiers.

Xiao Ming looked at the chariot at this time. This chariot was not his own creation, but a historical Husse chariot. It was this chariot that once severely damaged the German cavalry.

This kind of Hussian chariot relies on the terrain during wartime and arranges the chariots into square or circular formations.

Moreover, at this time, the chariots are all chained from wheel to wheel, so these vehicles will be placed at an angle to quickly put on the horse.

In addition, there is a thick layer of iron plate armor on the wall of the Hussian chariot, and holes are reserved in the armor room for shooting.

On the whole, this Huss chariot looks like a box, like a mobile fortress, attacking and defending equally sharp,

When attacking, you can place the Husse chariot close to the enemy and use artillery to provoke the enemy to attack.

At this time, the Musketeers hiding behind the vehicle will attack with firearms, further weakening the enemy.

Once the enemy appears to collapse, the cavalry and musketeers in the center of the cart will swarm out to harvest the enemy's life.
