"That's ......" Xiao Yichen showed a look of embarrassment, and it took a long time to raise his head and look at Li Yao, whose beautiful eyes were shining, gritted his teeth and said, "Since the princess asked, then the king will tell you." The Imperial Star Army will be reequipped with a tenth-generation starship, not an improved version of the ninth-generation. Hey, princess, this king has said everything that shouldn't be said, so you must not ask this king again, such as performance, otherwise it will be really embarrassing. ”

"Yao'er is not a person who doesn't know what to do, so naturally she won't embarrass His Highness. With a smile, even the palace was saved, Li Yao said crisply: "It's just that the empire is going to replace the tenth-generation starship, so can the production line of the ninth-generation starship be given to our country?"

"Oh, princess, your appetite is too great. The daily production line is priceless, not to mention that the tenth-generation starship can also be assembled with the existing production line, not to mention a gift, even if it is sold in the court, it will be besieged by a bunch of courtiers. Xiao Yichen shook his head again and again, waving his hands, as if he didn't even want to think about this question.

"Your Highness. Li Xian came to Xiao Yichen's side and said with a pleasant face: "I naturally know that His Royal Highness is embarrassed, my little sister is not sensible, and she is a gift when she opens her mouth, so you should have heard a joke." It's just that I waited for this time to come here, and I really want to negotiate with your country about the starship production line, I wonder if Your Highness can talk about it?"

"Brother Xian, princess, this king treats you as true friends, so he doesn't want to agree indiscriminately. Xiao Yichen looked at the two people around him with an embarrassed face, but found that they had a flattering smile, but their eyes never changed, and finally he could only sigh and say: "This king will tell you the truth." Now that the empire is too large, seven ships are no longer enough, so my father decided to add more than five new ships in the next ten years. ”

"Oh, so Long Han is going to expand his armaments?" Li Xian's eyes picked up, and he immediately grasped the key point.

"Prepare for war or not, this has to be decided by the father, and the king is at most to listen to an order. However, if you want to expand the size of the Star Army, this should not change. Speaking of this, Xiao Yichen paused, and then said: "This expansion."

The army, not all of them are equipped with 10th generation starships, they can't catch up in time, and they lack resources. Therefore, today's starships will be selected and retained. In other words, today's ninth-generation starship production line still needs to be preserved for future repairs and spare parts production. What's more, even now, the ninth-generation starship still has a certain technological advantage over other countries, and the ninth-generation primary production line sold to your country in the early years has already been hard to speak, and now it is going to give the final improved production line to your country, so ...... Hey, it doesn't work. ”

"Whether it will succeed or not, Your Highness has not tried, how can you know?" Li Xian approached Xiao Yichen and said in a slightly lowered voice: "As long as Your Highness does your best, even if it is in vain, I will definitely not treat Your Highness badly." ”

Instantly staring sideways at Li Xian's smiling face, Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, who do you think of this king?

Seeing that Xiao Yichen was about to leave as soon as he gave up his hand, Li Xian looked slightly stunned, but Li Yao had already stepped forward, and the water snake-like jade arm immediately wrapped around Xiao Yichen's arm, and said in a coquettish voice: "Your Highness, the eldest brother can't speak, it's not to humiliate His Highness." Your Highness and I are good friends, and everyone knows this. But His Royal Highness is upright and upright, and he will never betray the country for small profits, who doesn't know this? No matter how stupid the eldest brother is, he will not talk about this. ”

"Yes, yes, they are all lonely and stupid, and they still look forward to the virtuous brother Haihan. Li Xian climbed along the pole and immediately came over to apologize.

After glancing left and right, Xiao Yichen sighed and said, "Hey, okay, okay." This king can try, but whether it can be done in the end depends on the courtiers and the emperor's intentions. However, this king can tell you that the production line will not sell more than 20% at most. As for the price, hehe, it is estimated that even your country's financial resources will be distressed. Therefore, I still want to persuade you to take a break from this thought for the time being, and after a hundred years, when the Star Army is fully equipped with the tenth generation starship, it is better to give it to you directly to the production line of the ninth generation. ”

Li Xian, who nodded again and again, glanced at his sister, and saw Li Yao holding Xiao Yichen's arm and frowning slightly

, Jiao Sheng said: "Your Highness doesn't know, I want to buy a new production line in a hurry, but I am actually forced to do so." ”

"Oh, what does this mean?" Xiao Yichen seemed to be interested, and when he saw that he was about to walk near the beast cart that greeted the team in Northern Qi, he slowed down, as if he wanted to hear it.

"Hey, it's all those mediocre officials who are incompetent. Li Yao sighed lightly, and then said: "The production line of your country that I purchased before has always been produced in the central star field of Daqi. But the problem is that since about ten years ago, several officials in charge of ordnance have been secretly enriching their own pockets, only to find out that the quality of the starship is extremely poor in the army, and only then can the root cause be found. Nowadays, the star thieves in the east are rampant, the equipment is getting stronger and stronger, and the military strength of the countries on the west side has begun to recover slowly. What's even worse is that a few officials actually put their hands on those production lines, resulting in a greatly increased proportion of damage, and now there are not enough production bases to replace those tofu dregs starships. For this reason, although the father made a big fuss and cut down those wastes, the problem is that there is still no way to solve the problem of starships in a short time. No, I'm waiting for my brother and sister to ask His Highness to help. His Royal Highness also knew that if Daqi suffered a loss in the north, it would also have a great impact on Long Han. You and I are two families, sharing weal and woe, and please ask Your Highness to help you more. As long as your country is willing to cut love, the price is always easy to say. You see, in order to show sincerity, all the ministries in the envoy corps are accompanied by the chief officials, and will never let His Highness make an effort, but the final result is far away. ”

"There is such a thing. Hey, it seems that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Xiao Yichen stopped, arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, the king knows it in his heart, so he will find time to enter the palace to show his father." He will definitely try his best to persuade his father and courtiers to come up with some production lines to solve the urgent needs of Daqi first. ”

"Yao'er, on behalf of my father, thank you, Your Highness. Li Yao was deeply blessed, and her delicate face seemed to be a little more happy. Li Xian on the side naturally thanked him again and again, as if he was extremely moved.
