A cold wind blew, and the young man in white shivered in the cold wind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Ming noticed this, combined with the young man's thin skin and tender meat, and his weak appearance, it is estimated that he lives in the south all the year round.

His words just now were a bit heavy, if King Wei was in front, he would probably have jumped to his feet and scolded.

As the saying goes, distant friends and close attacks, Xiao Ming still understands this truth, although he knows that King Wei's motives are not pure, but in the current situation, he still has to join forces with King Wei.

After all, the vassal kings with different surnames are eyeing each other, and they are also of the same root and the same clan no matter how they say it.

So he said: "Don't be surprised, just now this king is talking nonsense, since the Third Emperor Uncle sent you over, this time it must be for the artillery, let's make a long story short, how many artillery does the Third Emperor Uncle need, and how much silver does each artillery plan to make?" ”

The white-clothed man breathed a sigh of relief, he missed the electric turn, this King of Qi was different from the other princes he came into contact with, there seemed to be a killing aura on his body, and his tone of voice also contained a hint of majesty.

The words just now caught his mind for a while, and he reacted, and he said: "King Wei said that he needed 300 artillery, and His Royal Highness gave King Zhao 20,000 taels of artillery, whether it can be cheaper for the sake of the clan, but King Wei also said that if His Royal Highness feels at a loss, he is willing to buy it at the same price as King Zhao." ”

"Uncle Sanhuang is really atmospheric, since this is the case, this king can't help him if he doesn't let some prices, so let's do it, I will let five hundred taels per artillery, and one cannon will be nineteen thousand five hundred and twenty." Xiao Ming said.

The white-clothed boy smiled bitterly in his heart, King Wei was really right, this King Qi is very picky, and he won't let too much profit.

He said: "Yes, Your Highness, I have come this time, and I have brought money with me, and I only ask Your Highness that you can deliver the artillery immediately after the forbidden army, so as to solve the trouble." ”

Xiao Ming said in his heart that this King Wei is really rich, much happier than that King Zhao, he said: "Uncle Three Emperors are happy, since this is the case, after providing the first batch of artillery to the forbidden army, this king will immediately send someone to send it to Uncle Three Emperors." ”

"Your Highness." The man in white smiled.

In fact, this is not what King Wei meant, but he is in charge of himself, in a few words, he has already seen the character of King Qi, he does not recognize people, only money.

This Zhao Yuanliang suffered a loss in Qingzhou, and the bad thing was that he was not happy enough.

So after a little thought, he decided to pay immediately, so that Xiao Ming would definitely be happy in his heart, after all, although Qingzhou made a lot of money this year, it was only a drop in the bucket compared to the rich King Wei.

And the king of Qi has made a lot of moves in the six states, so he must be in need of money.

"Xie doesn't have to, in this way, it's not early, Xiao Changshi might as well stay for a meal and go back." Xiao Ming said with a smile, he has always been very polite to send money.

The smile on the face of the white-clothed boy became stronger and stronger, and he said: "No need, I have been waiting for His Royal Highness in Qingzhou for a month, and King Wei is estimated to be very anxious, so he has to rush back." ”

"Well, it's okay, go back and wait for me to say hello to Uncle Sanhuang, this widow is 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 will definitely convey it." ”

Then Xiao Qi told Xiao Ming about the silver again, it is definitely unrealistic to take out three million taels of silver at once, Xiao Qi brought one million taels of silver tickets and one hundred thousand taels of gold this time, and the one hundred thousand taels of gold are now at Tuojiang Wharf, as long as someone collects them.

The remaining 1 million silver was to continue to be offset by goods, and the bulk transactions of the Great Yu Kingdom were probably the same.

In view of the fact that the military workshop will need a lot of iron in the future, Xiao Ming also asked for some coal and iron, in addition to 500,000 stone of grain, 30,000 pieces of cloth, and saltpeter and the like.

As for him, he liked this bartering method, after all, real money cannot be eaten in the event of war.

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

Agreeing on the number of various goods, Xiao Qi bowed and left.

Looking at Xiao Qi's figure, Xiao Ming always had a feeling of being obedient, which was like suddenly seeing his own family that had been lost for many years.

However, he has no dislike for Xiao Qi, this person is polite, neither humble nor arrogant, and he seems to be an extremely smart person.

The only thing that made him wonder was why King Wei would use such a young and handsome young man to make a long history.

Suddenly remembering the special habits of some princes in ancient times, Xiao Ming shivered all over, and goosebumps appeared on his body.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming no longer thought about it, but asked Aster to send someone to find Fan Zeng.

There's still business to be done.

……

Tuojiang Wharf.

Xiao Qi asked the boatman to unload all the gold in the ship, and at this time, there were already people from the government office receiving these materials on the dock.

This time he came to Qingzhou for more than a month, and when Xiao Ming went to Cangzhou, he almost turned around all over Qingzhou.

In the past month, he has seen too many scenes in Qingzhou that are different from Jinling City.

One of the biggest differences is that there is no Hao clan in Qingzhou, and the people's life has become relaxed and comfortable without the oppression of Hao clan.

And the most important one is that the people of Qingzhou have supported the king of Qi to the point where they only recognize the king of Qi and do not know the king.

No one in Qingzhou talked about Chang'an, and no one talked about the emperor back then, and the people of Qingzhou didn't seem to be interested in these.

They are only interested in what government decrees King Qi has issued, what new products he has made, Bowen College, commerce and so on.

Especially when the locals say that the king of Qi is not, the people of Qingzhou will often rush up, and if it is light, it is a reprimand, and if it is heavy, it is a beating, so the people's heart, is what he really fears.

"Uncle Three Emperors, how can such a King of Qi be so easy to deal with." Xiao Qi looked in the direction of the Qi Palace, and suddenly sighed deeply.

He has been by King Wei's side all these years, and he understands King Wei's persistence, but this attachment is now extremely dangerous in his opinion.

When he goes back this time, he must persuade him again to let King Wei give up that crazy plan and become a vassal king with peace of mind, after all, Xiao Ming has become a threat now.

"Pick up the boat." A trumpet sounded.

The merchant ship flying the banner of King Wei slowed down, and Xiao Qi turned around and returned to the cabin at this time.

This time, he came to Qingzhou, on the one hand, for the artillery matter, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see Xiao Ming, so that he could see the seven princes of the powerful Yu Kingdom.

Now that he has seen it, he has a preliminary understanding of this King of Qi in his heart, and he is more and more worried about the situation of King Wei.

However, he also knew very well that Xiao Ming's advantage now was only to defend the city with artillery, and if the two armies really fought in the field, Xiao Ming would still not be the opponent of King Wei.

And it's not impossible to deal with Xiao Ming, just rely on the superior forces to besiege the city for a year and a half, which is enough to defeat him.
