Zhu Yunwen planned to sell each rifle for 100 taels of silver, with each rifle carrying 100 bullets, and could sell 1,000 rifles.
Although this deal wasn't large, only worth 100,000 taels, Zhu Yunwen wasn't primarily in it for the money.

After all the important matters were discussed, Zhu Yunwen, accompanied by the princess of the Women's Kingdom, began to tour the Women's Kingdom with Zhao Qingzhu.
