Chapter 47: Li Shimin's plan
At this time, several blacksmith apprentices who heard the movement hurriedly ran over, ready to help Blacksmith Feng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Blacksmith Feng waved his hand and said impatiently: "Go, go, it's none of your business here, why should you go." ”
Blacksmith Feng pulled Xiaoxiaosheng's sleeve and walked into the room, he sat on the chair, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit." ”
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Xiaoxiaosheng saw that Blacksmith Feng was also old, and he didn't want to go too far, so he could only snort coldly and sit down.
"Old man, tell me, what do you mean, what do you want to do?" Xiaoxiaosheng couldn't help frowning and asked, he wanted to see what this old miscellaneous hair had to say.
Blacksmith Feng took out his cigarette stick from his back without hurry, lit it leisurely, and took a deep breath.
After a while, he exhaled the smoke and said lightly: "You have seen the environment inside." ”
Xiaoxiaosheng nodded: "That place doesn't look simple, I didn't expect you, an old man, to have some means to have such a deep connection with those people of unknown origin." ”
Blacksmith Feng took a puff of his cigarette, smacked his lips and said, "Heh! It seems that you little ghost still have some complaints about my old man. However, it is no wonder that anyone who is sold will be dissatisfied. However, don't worry, my old man will definitely give you an explanation today. ”
Xiaoxiaosheng sat quietly in place, took out a roast duck with fat from his bag, and ate it like this, he said vaguely: "Okay, you say, I'll listen." ”
Blacksmith Feng pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke: "There, it was originally a place for exiled prisoners, and the imperial court wanted to rely on them to collect ore. However, since Liu Hong took control of the exiled land...... There, it was out of the control of the imperial court. ”
Xiaoxiaosheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in his heart: This Liu Hong is really a good skill. In the past, there was a plot to kill the officials of the imperial court, and the substitute was an official, and then he grasped the key points of the imperial court for personal gain. It's really impressive.
"The court doesn't care?" Xiaoxiaosheng asked softly, he didn't believe that the imperial court would let Liu Hong go, after all, it was an iron tool.
Blacksmith Feng smiled dumbly, feeling a burst of amusement: "Hehe, how can the imperial court not care." But that Liu Hong not only connived at the prisoners under his rule to run rampant, but also raised a large number of private soldiers, and all the strongmen from all walks of life who heard the news couldn't help but go to Jiangzhou and defect to Liu Hong0, and the court had no idea about him for a while. ”
"It's just a group of local chickens and dogs, just line up a few masters to go over, won't they be wiped out." Xiaoxiao asked puzzled.
Blacksmith Feng took another puff of his cigarette, slowly exhaled his turbid breath and said, "Whew...... It's not that simple, there are backers behind Liu Hong, like the Demon King Village and the Difu, all of whom have a deep friendship with him. After all, he was able to provide the other party with a steady stream of weapons and equipment, how could those people watch him being taken down by the imperial court. ”
Xiaoxiaosheng felt speechless for a while, and only after a while did he ask, "Then let it go?" I see that he is about to make himself king. ”
Blacksmith Feng hurriedly covered his mouth, looked around carefully, and after seeing that no one was paying attention here, he whispered, "Hey! Don't talk nonsense. If people hear it, you and I will not be able to avoid a prison sentence. ”
Xiaoxiaosheng only felt a burst of amusement: Hehe, do you know that you are afraid? When you sell your master, why don't you know that you're afraid?
"After all that, you still haven't told me, why did you sell me." Xiaoxiaosheng raised his eyebrows and asked.
Blacksmith Feng smiled and touched his head, explaining, "This...... In fact, it is also what His Majesty meant. Your Majesty has heard that you are a rare genius among the aliens, so he wants you to take over part of the arms manufacturing and provide regular arms for the imperial court, so as to reduce the pressure from all sides for the imperial court. ”
Xiaoxiaosheng's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" How is this possible. It's not that you don't know that there are only a few people in our Yiren Academy, so how can we compete with that Liu Hong for the market. ”
Blacksmith Feng pressed his hand, signaling Xiaoxiaosheng not to be impatient, he smiled and said: "Actually, the imperial court is reluctant to move Liu Hong, firstly, because he is afraid of causing turmoil, and secondly, he is also safe, and he will send a lot of equipment to the imperial court every year. But...... In the past few years, his appetite has grown and he wants more and more things. ”
"Your Majesty and the ministers of the court are all dissatisfied, so they want to suppress him. It just so happened that because of your appearance, His Majesty hit the idea on you. ”
Xiaoxiao muttered dissatisfiedly: "What does this have to do with me, I do my business, he gets his equipment, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Blacksmith Feng took a puff of his cigarette, glanced at him, and said nonchalantly, "You really don't want to do it?" ”
Xiaoxiaosheng became more and more dissatisfied: "You didn't say what I was going to do, how could I answer you." ”
"This matter is actually very simple, as long as you can control a mine, and then gather people to create a hundred refined iron, and provide enough hundred refined iron for the imperial court, you can naturally make the imperial court reduce its dependence on Liu Hong."
Xiaoxiaosheng pointed to his nose and asked in shock, "You said I should take control of a mine?" You don't have a fever, do you? It's still daytime, can we stop dreaming? ”
Blacksmith Feng was speechless for a while by Xiao Xiaosheng, and he said with a very angry smile: "Little ghost, what if the imperial court intends to give you a mine?" Isn't this a lot simpler? ”
Xiaoxiaosheng frowned and thought hard, Li Shimin must have some plans if he did this, if he wanted to get it, he had to pay something, so he didn't believe that Li Shimin would be so kind and give himself a mine for nothing.
"I'm afraid, it's not that simple, right?" Xiaoxiaosheng asked with a look of disbelief.
Blacksmith Feng was speechless, and after thinking about it, he still planned to explain the matter: "Ahem...... As for this, I know that although you Inhumans need a lot of materials to build equipment, the attributes of the equipment you make are extremely high, which is incomparable to our aborigines. So...... Your Majesty and his old man hope that you can use your influence to gather some strangers to build equipment for us. ”
"Naturally, since we are a business, Your Majesty will definitely not let you suffer. We will buy this equipment at 10 percent above the market price. ”
Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, "It's that simple?" ”
Blacksmith Feng nodded: "It's as simple as that. ”
"You let me think about it."
Blacksmith Feng nodded, he also knew that the other party would not accept it for a while, so it was better to let the other party think clearly. However, for the sake of his future, he had to negotiate this business, so he reminded him in a whisper.
"Ahem...... If you can win this business, no matter what you do in the future, you will get the support of the imperial court. Anyway, you can do it yourself. ”
Xiaoxiaosheng felt speechless for a while, what's the matter, this is even used as a lure? How short of weapons is there in this prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.
Xiaoxiaosheng frowned and thought hard, and thought silently in his heart: Li Shimin must have seen the appearance of the player, breaking the balance between the imperial court and Liu Hong, so he wanted to use the player to balance Liu Hong in order to obtain enough benefits. If I'm caught in the middle of it...... Although he will get Li Shimin's support, he will also anger Liu Hong because of this, and he must be careful of his revenge in the future.
Troublesome...... What a hassle.
