The golden sunlight shrouded the temple, and the palace seemed to exude a strong auspicious color in the early morning.

Luo Quan's words made Xiao Ming nod slightly, he did not agree with handing over this artillery to the forbidden army, but agreed with Luo Quan's distrust of the vassal kings.

This is what a loyal general should say, and it is also a reason worthy of his wooing.

"This artillery production technology, this king will not give anyone."

Xiao Ming replied to Luo Quan's words in a firm tone.

"Your Highness...... You ......" Luo Quan showed a puzzled look, and even a little angry, it made sense for Xiao Ming, the other feudal kings, to say this, but he really couldn't understand what he said to the Praetorian Guards directly under the royal family.

Lu Fei was relieved when he heard Xiao Ming's words in the back, he was really worried that Xiao Ming would accept it, and Luo Xin seemed to be thinking about something.

Luo Quan's reaction was expected by Xiao Ming, and if he said this in the court, the reaction of the ministers would definitely be greater than him.

But before that, he needs to win Luo Quan's support for him in the court later.

He explained: "The general's court is no longer the royal court, how can this forbidden army be the royal forbidden army, the general asked himself, are all the forbidden army loyal to the royal army now?" ”

Luo Quan was speechless for a moment, and he said: "No, most of the generals in this forbidden army are noble children from other feudal countries. ”

"In that case, what is the difference between handing over artillery technology to the forbidden army and handing over artillery technology to the vassal kings?" Xiao Ming said lightly.

Luo Xin echoed: "Yes, Dad, Your Highness is right, this artillery technology is in the hands of the vassal kings, it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before this barbarian tribe gets the artillery technology, and at that time, the artillery plus the barbarian cavalry, the Great Yu Kingdom will be even more difficult." ”

"But is Your Highness going to keep the technology of this cannon private?" Luo Quan was still a little unwilling.

The main station faction finally saw that the war against the barbarians would be tilted because of the artillery, and now Xiao Ming was about to destroy his hope, which made him lose for a while.

Laughing lightly, Xiao Ming said: "General, don't worry, this king's words have not been finished yet, whether it is the forbidden army, or the vassal king who resists the barbarians in the north, what is needed is artillery rather than artillery technology, in order to prevent the artillery from being stolen by the barbarians, this king feels that it is safer to stay in Qingzhou, as for artillery, this king can be sold to the imperial court and the three vassal kings in the north, this king is already benevolent and righteous, after all, artillery is related to the life and death of Qingzhou." ”

Luo Quan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Ming at least hasn't done anything yet, so there is still some truth in saying this.

If this artillery technology is disseminated, it will not be a big benefit, but a big harm, after all, this Chang'an is very complicated now.

"Your Highness is righteous, the last general will misunderstand Your Highness." Luo Quan said.

"It doesn't matter, the reason why I told the old general is that this king still hopes that the old general can explain his strength in front of his father in the court, after all, this king is weak, and it is inevitable that he will fall into the hands of others when he says it."

"Your Highness, rest assured, this time in the court, the last general will fight for His Highness." Luo Quan said.

In Luo Quan's opinion, when Xiao Ming said this, he must be ready to bite the artillery technology above the court and not let go, and he can sell personal favors with his own help.

Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Regarding artillery, it is impossible for Xiao Ming to monopolize it after this exposure, which he sees very clearly.

Because even Xiao Wenxuan will not remain calm at this time, he must want to equip an artillery unit to maintain deterrence against the Golden Horde, and at the same time he will have confidence at the negotiation table.

Moreover, this artillery is related to the general interests of the country, although Xiao Ming has made a great contribution, but if he makes a mistake in this matter, he will still be scolded by tens of thousands of people, which is very detrimental to the development of his fiefdom.

So after discussing with Zhan Xingchang, Pang Yukun, Niu Ben and others, Xiao Ming decided not to give technology and only sell artillery, so that the past is enough to block the mouth of the world.

At the same time, what has been the most profitable since ancient times, of course, is the sale of arms.

After the cannon is sold, the shells and gunpowder of the additional artillery are consumables, and the subsequent maintenance of the artillery is also money.

The military workshop became profitable, and he had the money to continue to upgrade industrial technology, buy materials, and develop other weapons and equipment.

And these northern vassal kings must have some scruples about Xiao Ming after buying Xiao Ming's arms, after all, Xiao Ming is not happy to sell it, and they are not crazy, after all, the forbidden army at this time must be equipped with artillery first, and for them, this will lead to the destruction of the military balance.

In a word, it is equivalent to Xiao Ming pinching their lifeline.

However, Xiao Ming is not stupid, he will definitely not sell artillery with the same power, and like modern arms sales, he will definitely make a foreign trade version of the artillery to ensure his military superiority.

For example, the range of his artillery is three miles, and the range of the artillery sold only needs one mile, and two miles is enough.

When the range and power of his artillery further increased, he sold Sanli again.

And the constantly upgrading artillery will inevitably lead to a new round of purchases, which will make him rich.

Talking about artillery along the way, the four of them arrived in the Chengqing Palace.

At this time, before the time for the court meeting to begin, the ministers gathered in the Chengqing Hall to speak.

Xiao Ming's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the ministers, and many generals immediately flocked over to greet Xiao Ming.

Many of the generals Xiao Ming didn't know each other, but they still returned the salute one by one.

"Virtuous nephew, virtuous nephew!"

When Xiao Ming was greeting a group of generals, a familiar voice suddenly came, and then Xiao Ming saw a fat man squeezing in, it was none other than King Wei.

"Virtuous nephew, I've been waiting for you in Chang'an City for many days." King Wei came up and patted Xiao Ming's shoulder vigorously, looking intimate.

Xiao Ming was patted on the shoulder by King Wei, and Xiao Ming was the first to win in Cangzhou, and this King Wei was also stained.

He had already heard from Feng Deshui that King Wei had told Xiao Wenxuan all the things about providing coal, iron, saltpeter and other materials, and the taste of asking for merit between the lines was strong.

So now what King Wei wants to see most is Xiao Ming, for fear that Xiao Ming will not cooperate with him in the court.

In fact, he wanted to visit Xiao Ming yesterday, but Xiao Ming was always in the palace, and when Xiao Ming came back, Chang'an City was already curfew, and it was inconvenient for him to come out.

"Uncle Three Emperors, if it weren't for the delay yesterday, I would have wanted to visit Uncle Three Emperors, thanks to Uncle Three Emperors for their support in Cangzhou." Xiao Ming was naturally clear about King Wei's thoughts.

Cangzhou is defended, and he will engage in economic and great development next, which is also necessary to have a relationship with King Wei.

Although they hate each other to death, they still have to do the harmony on the surface, after all, who wants to get along with silver?
