Iron Dynasty

Chapter 266

The young man in white shivered in the cold wind.

Xiao Ming noticed this point, combined with the young people's delicate skin and delicate appearance, he estimated that he would live in the south of China all the year round.

What he said just now is a little heavy. If the king of Wei was in front of him, he would have jumped and scolded.

As the saying goes, Xiao Ming still knows this truth. Although he knows that the motive of the king of Wei is not pure, he still wants to unite with the king of Wei under the current situation.

After all, the vassal kings of different surnames are covetous, and they are of the same family.

So he said: "don't be surprised, just now it's just the king's nonsense. Since uncle Sanhuang sent you here, it must be for the sake of artillery. Let's make a long story short. How many artillery does uncle Sanhuang need and how much silver does he plan to pay for each artillery?"

The young master in white was relieved. He missed DianZhuan. The king of Qi was different from the other princes he contacted. He seemed to have a kind of killing and cutting spirit, and his voice also contained a trace of dignity.

What he said just now caught his mind for a moment. He said: "the king of Wei said that he needed 300 guns. His highness gave the king of Zhao twenty-one guns. Whether it could be cheaper for the sake of his clan, but the king of Wei also said that if his highness felt a loss, he would like to buy them at the same price as the king of Zhao."

"Uncle Sanhuang is really generous. In this case, I'm sorry that I won't let some prices. Well, I'll give you five hundred taels of each gun, and nineteen thousand five hundred taels of each gun." Xiao Ming said.

The prince in white had a bitter smile in his heart. The king of Wei was right. The king of Qi was very stingy and would not make too much profit.

He said: "yes, your highness. I have brought some silver with me this time. I only hope your highness can deliver the artillery immediately after the forbidden army, so as to solve the Japanese invasion."

Xiao Ming thought that the king of Wei was really rich and much happier than the king of Zhao. He said, "Uncle Sanhuang is happy. In this case, after providing the first batch of guns to the Imperial Army, I will send someone to send them to Uncle Sanhuang immediately."

"Thank you, your highness." The young master in White said with a smile.

In fact, this is not the meaning of the king of Wei, but his own decision. In a few words, he has seen the character of the king of Qi. He does not recognize people, but only money.

Zhao Yuanliang suffered a loss in Qingzhou. The bad thing was that he was not happy enough.

So after a little thought, he decided to pay immediately, so Xiao Ming would be happy. After all, although Qingzhou made a lot of money this year, it was just a drop in the bucket compared with the rich king of Wei.

And the king of Qi did a lot in Liuzhou, so he needed money.

"No need to thank you. It's getting late. It's better for Xiao to stay for a meal and go back." Xiao Ming said with a smile that he was always polite to those who sent money.

The smile on the young master's face became more and more intense. He said: "no, I have been waiting for your highness in Qingzhou for a month. The king of Wei must be very anxious. I'm going back."

"Well, well, I'll go back and say hello to Uncle Sanhuang. The Japanese pirates are a disaster along the coast. Maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future." Xiao Ming said.

Xiao Qi nodded, "yes, your highness, I must convey."

Then Xiao Qi talked to Xiao Ming about the silver. It must be unrealistic to take out three million taels of silver. This time, Xiao Qi took one million taels of silver notes and one hundred thousand taels of gold. The one hundred thousand taels of gold is now at the Tuojiang wharf. Just someone needs to collect it.

The remaining one million silver will continue to be offset by goods, which is mostly the case with the bulk trading of Dayu.

In view of the large amount of iron needed by the military workshop, Xiao Ming also asked for some coal and iron, as well as 500000 stones of grain, 30000 pieces of cloth and nitrates.

For him, he liked the way of barter. After all, real gold and silver can't be used as food in case of war.

In ancient times, grain, cloth and various resources were the real stable currency.

Agree on the number of various goods, Xiao Qi bows away.

Looking at Xiao Qi's figure, Xiao Ming always has a kind of obedient feeling, which is like suddenly seeing his own family who has been lost for many years.

However, he has no antipathy to Xiao Qi, who is polite, modest, and seems to be a very intelligent person.

The only thing that puzzled him was why the king of Wei used such a young and handsome young man to make a long history.

Suddenly thinking of the special habits of some ancient princes, Xiao Ming shivered and got goose bumps.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming no longer thought about it, but asked the aster messenger to find fan Zeng.

There's business to do.

....

Tuojiang wharf.

Xiao Qi asked the boatman to unload all the gold in the boat. At this time, people from the government were already receiving these materials on the wharf.

This time, he came to Qingzhou for more than a month. Taking advantage of Xiao Ming's visit to Cangzhou, he almost went around Qingzhou.

In the past month, he saw many different scenes from Jinling City in Qingzhou.

The biggest difference is that there is no Haozu in Qingzhou, and people's life is easy and comfortable without the oppression of Haozu.The most important one is that Qingzhou people's support for the king of Qi has reached the point of only recognizing the king of Qi, but not the king.

In Qingzhou, no one talks about Chang'an, and no one talks about the emperor. It seems that the people in Qingzhou are not interested in these things.

What they are interested in is what kind of decrees the king of Qi issued, what new products he produced, the school of blog and literature, business and other topics.

Especially when the local people say that the king of Qi is not the king, the people of Qingzhou tend to rush up, light is a reprimand, heavy is a beating, such popular feeling, is what he really reveres.

"Uncle Sanhuang, it's so easy to deal with such a king of Qi." Xiao Qi looked at the direction of king Qi's house and suddenly sighed deeply.

All these years, he has been around the king of Wei. He knows the persistence of the king of Wei, but it is very dangerous for him now.

After all, Xiao Ming has become a threat.

"Get out of the boat." A bugle sounded.

The merchant ship with the flag of the king of Wei set sail slowly. At this time, Xiao Qi turned back to the cabin.

On the one hand, he came to Qingzhou for the purpose of artillery, on the other hand, he wanted to see Xiao Ming, so as to see the powerful seventh Prince of the state of Chongqing.

Now after he met him, he had a preliminary understanding of the king of Qi, and he was more and more worried about the situation of the king of Wei.

However, he is also very clear that Xiao Ming's advantage today is only to defend the city with artillery. If the two armies really fight in the field, Xiao Ming is still not the opponent of the Wei king.

What's more, it's not impossible to deal with Xiao Ming. We only need to rely on our superior forces to encircle the city for a year and a half, which is enough to defeat him.
