Chapter 265: thought

A cold wind blew by, and the white-clothed youth shuddered in the cold wind.
Xiao Ming noticed this, and combined with the youth's delicate skin and tender flesh, and the weak manner, it is estimated that he lived in a place with strong culture in the south all the year round.
What he said just now is a bit heavy. If Wei Wang were in front, he might have jumped and cursed.
As the saying goes, Xiao Ming still understands this truth. Although he knows that Wei Wang's motives are not pure, he still wants to hug Wei Wang under the current situation.
After all, feudal kings of different surnames looked at me, and how they said they were all of the same root.
So he said: "Don’t be offended. Just now, I was just talking nonsense. Since the Three Emperors sent you over, this time it must be for artillery. Let’s make a long story short. How many artillery the Three Emperors need, and how many artillery we plan to produce. silver?"
The white-clothed prince took a sigh of relief. He missed the teleportation. This King Qi was not the same as the other princes he had contacted. He seemed to carry a murderous air, and his tone of speech also contained a hint of majesty.
The words just now caught his mind for a while, and reacted, he said: "Wang Wei said that he needs three hundred artillery pieces. His Royal Highness gave King Zhao 22,000 artillery pieces. Whether it can be regarded as a clan's sake. It's cheaper, but Wang Wei also said that if His Royal Highness feels at a loss, he is willing to buy it at the same price as Wang Zhao."
"Uncle Three Emperors is really magnificent. If this is the case, I can't blame him for not letting some prices. Let's do this, I will let you buy five hundred taels for each artillery, and 19,520 cannons," Xiao Ming said. .
There was a wry smile in the white-clothed young man's heart. Wang Wei was really right. The Qi Wang was very stingy and would not make too much profit.
He said: "Yes, Your Majesty, come here this time and bring money here, so that your Highness can deliver the artillery immediately after the Forbidden Army to solve the Japanese trouble."
Xiao Ming said in his heart that King Wei is rich, and he is much happier than King Zhao. He said: "Uncle Three Emperors are happy, in that case, after providing the first batch of artillery to the Forbidden Army, this king immediately sends someone to Uncle Three Emperors. go with."
"His Royal Highness." The white-clothed boy smiled.
In fact, this was not what Wei Wang meant, but he was in charge of himself. In a few words, he had already seen the character of Qi Wang. He didn't recognize people, only money.
This Zhao Yuanliang suffered a loss in Qingzhou, but it was not good enough.
So after a little thought, he decided to pay immediately, so Xiao Ming would surely be happy in his heart. After all, although Qingzhou made a lot of money this year, it was nothing but a drop in comparison with the wealthy King Wei.
And Qi Wang has a lot of actions in Liuzhou, so he needs money very much.
"You don't need to thank you. In this way, it's getting late. Xiao Changshi might as well stay for a meal and go back." Xiao Ming said with a smile, and he was always very kind to the one who sent the money.
The smile on the white man's face grew stronger, and he said: "No, I have been waiting for the next month in Qingzhou. Wang Wei is probably already very impatient, so he has to hurry back."
"Well, it's okay, go back and wait for me to say hello to the three emperors. This Japanese pirate is a disaster on the coast. Maybe we still have a chance to cooperate in the future." Xiao Ming said.
Xiao Qi nodded, "Yes, Your Highness, I must convey it."
Then Xiao Qi talked to Xiao Ming about the silver. It would be unrealistic to take out three million taels of silver. Xiao Qi brought one million taels of silver bills this time, and one hundred thousand taels of gold. This one hundred thousand taels of gold is now available. At Tuojiang Wharf, someone only needs to collect it.
The remaining 1 million silver will continue to be offset by goods, which is probably the case for the large transactions in Dayu.
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 stones of grain, 30,000 pieces of cloth, and saltpeter and the like.
For him, he likes this way of bartering goods. After all, real money cannot be eaten if it encounters war.
In ancient times, food, cloth and various resources were truly stable currencies.
After agreeing on the number of various goods, Xiao Qi bowed and left.
Looking at Xiao Qi's figure, Xiao Ming always had a kind of obedient feeling. This feeling was like suddenly seeing his family who had been lost for many years.
However, he didn't dislike Xiao Qi. This person was polite, neither humble nor overbearing, and seemed to be a very smart person.
The only thing that puzzled him was why Wang Wei would use such a young and handsome young man as a long history.
Suddenly remembering the special hobbies of certain princes in ancient times, Xiao Ming shuddered all over, and got goose bumps on his body.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ming stopped thinking about it, and instead asked Aster to find Fan Zeng.
There is still business to be done.
...
Tuojiang Wharf.
Xiao Qi asked the ship to unload all the gold in the ship. At this time, people from the government office were already receiving these materials.
This time I came to Qingzhou for more than a month. Taking advantage of Xiao Ming to go to Cangzhou, he traveled almost everywhere in Qingzhou.
In the past month, he saw too many scenes different from Jinling City in Qingzhou.
The biggest difference is that there is no rich family in Qingzhou, and the people's life becomes relaxed and comfortable without the oppression of the rich family.
And the most important one is that the Qingzhou people’s support for King Qi has reached the point where they only recognize the King of Qi and not the King.
No one in Qingzhou talks about Chang'an, and no one talks about the emperor. The people of Qingzhou seem to be not interested in this.
What they are interested in is only what decree Qi Wang has issued, what new products he has produced, such topics as Bowen Academy, commerce and so on.
Especially when the locals said that King Qi was not, the people of Qingzhou often rushed forward, reprimanding if he was lighter, or beating him if he was heavier. Such popular support is what he truly fears.
"Uncle Three Emperors, how can it be so easy to deal with Prince Qi like this?" Xiao Qi looked at the direction of Prince Qi Palace and suddenly sighed deeply.
He has been around Wei Wang for these years~EbookFREE.me~ He understands Wei Wang's obsession, but this obsession is extremely dangerous to him now.
This time he went back, he must persuade again, let Wang Wei give up that crazy plan and be a feudal king with peace of mind. After all, Xiao Ming has become a threat now.
"Get off the boat." A trumpet sounded.
The merchant ship with the Wei Wang flag set sail slowly, and Xiao Qi turned and returned to the cabin.
This time he came to Qingzhou, on the one hand for the artillery matter, on the other hand, he also wanted to see Xiao Ming, so as to see this arrogant Seventh Prince of the Great Yu Kingdom.
Now that he met, he had a preliminary understanding of King Qi in his heart, and he became more worried about King Wei's situation.
However, he also knew very well that Xiao Ming's current advantage was to defend the city with artillery. If the two armies were actually fighting in the field, Xiao Ming would still not be King Wei's opponent.
And there is no way to deal with Xiao Ming, just relying on superior forces to besiege the city for a year and a half, enough to defeat him.
