Chapter 231: The lion has a big mouth

"The messenger of King Zhao?"
Pang Yukun nodded and said to Xiao Ming: "Yes, this person claims to be the eldest son of King Zhao, Zhao Yuanliang."
"Is it him?" Xiao Ming groaned.
Then he said to Yue Yun: "You continue to follow Zhang Liang to understand the structure of the Galen ship and how to manipulate the Galen ship. After that, someone will arrange board and lodging for you, and you will learn this sailing skill at Bowen Academy in the future. "
"His Royal Highness, there is no need to learn this, we are all experts." Yue Yun believed.
"Hey, don't talk about this big story now. When this king teaches you what sailing is, you will know the difficulties of sailing." Xiao Ming said.
Leaving Yue Yun and the others, Xiao Ming asked the children in the fishing village who were unwilling to stay and let them go back on their own. He ran his horse back to the Qi Palace.
In the Prince Qi's mansion at this time, a young man who was slightly older than Xiao Ming was waiting in the main hall.
Outside the main hall, the maple leaves in the Prince Qi's mansion were as bright red as sunset clouds. Looking at the servants in the palace, Zhao Yuanliang's eyes were lightly worried.
"His Royal Highness, this Prince Qi Palace is much shabby compared to our Liangzhou Prince Palace, and this Qingzhou is nothing but a terrible. I think there are more people in the city than the people in Liangzhou."
Next to Zhao Yuanliang was a scribe in a gray gown and a square top scarf. He was Zhao Kuan's adviser under King Zhao.
"This Qingzhou was looted by the barbarians three years ago. How can it happen overnight? In three years, there has been no disaster in these six states. He also eliminated the local tycoons. It can be said that this Xiao Ming is extremely difficult. This time, the father specifically explained that we should not neglect him. After all, we have to ask for him this time." Zhao Yuanliang said.
"Yes, the next official remembered." Zhao Kuan said.
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard movement outside the door, but it was King Qi who walked in with a civilian-looking person.
"Yuanliang, it's been a long time." Xiao Ming shouted before reaching the door.
Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan hurriedly greeted them and said with a smile: "Zhao Yuanliang, see Your Highness."
"No gift." Xiao Ming helped Zhao Yuanliang and stepped into the main hall, Zhan Xingchang followed him into the main hall.
Signaling the two of Zhao Yuanliang to sit down, Xiao Ming asked with an interested look: "Yuanliang, we haven't seen you for about five years. I remember the last time I saw you, it was when you came to Beijing with Zhao Wang."
"Exactly, Yuan Liang was ignorant at that time and ran into His Royal Highness in the palace. He hoped that His Highness would forgive him." Zhao Yuanliang said.
Five years ago, he entered the palace with his father and met Xiao Ming who had been irritated by Xiao Wenxuan. He accidentally touched Xiao Ming and was scolded by Xiao Ming.
At that time, both young and energetic, the two naturally refused to give up to each other, so they fought in the palace.
Later, Xiao Ming was pulled out by Xiao Wenxuan to make a board.
If it wasn't for the artillery matter this time, his father would not send him to Qingzhou in order to show his importance. After all, the two are still celebrating the festival, but now, seeing Xiao Ming's appearance, it seems that he doesn't care.
"It's okay. At that time, this king was not sensible, but Yuan Liang laughed." Xiao Ming said. Knowing the purpose of Zhao Yuanliang's visit, he directly asked after greeting: "This time Yuanliang is going to Qingzhou, I don't know why? "
Zhao Yuanliang said: "His Royal Highness, it is for the artillery matter. On the court, the father promised that all the northern kings can purchase artillery from his Royal Highness to resist the barbarians. Like His Royal Highness, Zhao Di is now facing the threat of the barbarians, and Zhao Di is It is a barrier to the north of Great Yu. I hope that His Highness can take care of the safety of Great Yu and sell the artillery to us."
The purchase of this artillery was originally planned by Xiao Ming, but the artillery of the Forbidden Army had not yet been found, how could it be sold to King Zhao artillery now.
He said: "Father and the emperor said this, I should naturally follow the artillery matter, but now my king is producing artillery for the imperial army, I am afraid there is no extra artillery for sale."
Zhao Yuanliang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, what is the difficulty? If your Highness does not have enough manpower, why not sell me the artillery technology and return to Zhao Di to produce it ourselves."
When he came this time, Zhao Yuanliang naturally negotiated with Xiao Ming for the artillery, naturally holding several sets of methods in his hand.
"Yuanliang made a joke. At the meeting, the father said very clearly that this artillery technology can only be in my hands. I don’t believe you, but now the barbarians are meticulous and seamless, if this artillery falls into the hands of the barbarians. I am afraid that Zhao Di will not even have the advantage of defending the city."
Zhao Yuanliang rolled his eyes. Although he knew this was impossible, he still wanted to try, and continued: "His Royal Highness, if you sell the artillery technology to us, we will naturally try to keep it secret, and the father promised to take five. Thousands of good horses, five million taels of silver in exchange."
I have to say that this price makes Xiao Ming quite tempted, but it is impossible for him to hand over the artillery casting technology.
Although he knew that without high-quality steel, he couldn't forge artillery of the same level, but once the technology spreads, the quantity is enough to make up the quality gap.
"Yuan Liang, it's because my king disagrees, but if this artillery technology leaks, my father will really kill me." Xiao Ming shook his head, "Let's talk about something else."
Xiao Ming refused again, this method seemed to be unworkable.
Zhao Yuanliang continued: "In this case, your Royal Highness can provide artillery for the imperial army and Zhao Di at the same time. Your Highness does not know. Since His Highness repelled the barbarians, now the barbarians seem to want to find face in Zhao Di. Recently, the barbarian cavalry has been active outside the city frequently. , My father and I are quite nervous."
"This..." Xiao Ming pretended to hesitate.
Now that the iron mold casting technology is mature, the military workshop also has a group of professional artisans~EbookFREE.me~ Whether the production can be increased depends on whether the materials are sufficient.
And he also wants to use this sale to expand the production scale of the military workshop. After all, if the military workshop can make a profit, he will naturally use this opportunity to expand the production line and maintain such a scale. Once the war comes, it will be as short as dumplings. Produced a lot of artillery.
However, Xiao Wenxuan’s imperial order was ahead, and Xiao Ming did not dare to disobey. He pondered for a moment and said,
I can provide you with the artillery in the second month after the first batch of artillery. The silver taels needed."
"One month?" Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan looked at each other.
"This is the shortest time. The guns of the Forbidden Army must arrive first." Xiao Ming said firmly.
Seeing that Xiao Ming's tone was so tough, Zhao Yuanliang stopped struggling with this question, but asked: "In that case, your Royal Highness, how much silver tael does one gun need."
"This is not expensive, twenty thousand taels of silver." Xiao Ming Lion said loudly.
