Lord Liu, Master Hou, please say a few kind words from you, this batch of weapons is very important to our tribe. ”

In Liu Bang's office of the Tax Department, a Hu businessman nodded and stuffed a box full of gold, silver and jewelry into Liu Bang's arms, nodded and said.

The benefits of the alien race are naturally not in vain, Liu Bang put the box under the table, and said unhurriedly: "I will mention the matter to the Hou Ye, but I can't be the master of whether this weapon can be taken out and sold, you must know that this court is not the Hou Ye's Yiyantang, and the weapons sold to you will have problems sooner or later." ”

"Lord Liu, please rest assured, our Grizzly Bear Department has always been close to Great Qin. If Master Hou can sell us weapons, I guarantee that these weapons will never be contaminated with the blood of the Qin people. Hu Shang cursed and swore an oath.

"It's not been a day or two since your Grizzly Bear Department and Lijiazhuang have been doing business, so I naturally believe in your Hou Ye, but the mouths of the princes of this court are not easy to block."

"Let's go back and wait for the news first, I will help you talk over there, I will send someone to tell you whether it is successful or not." Liu Bang said lightly.

"Lord Liu is a celebrity in front of Hou Ye, Wan Wang will help me say a few more good words to the Grizzly Bear Department, this time the amount is large, it is really not good, the price is more expensive than in the past, and it is okay." Hu Shang of the Grizzly Bear Department said with some trepidation.

This Hu merchant is the local tyrant Hu Shang yesterday, this person is a merchant from the Xiongnu Grizzly Bear Department. Since the Xiongnu were beaten by the Qin army led by Meng Tian in the Hetao Plain, the many tribes of the Xiongnu were also divided into two factions, one was the anti-Qin faction that advocated fighting with the Great Qin to the end. The other faction believes that it is a dead end to be the enemy of Daqin, who has many soldiers and vast resources, and only by getting close to Daqin is the only way out.

The Grizzly Bear Department is the faction close to Great Qin in the Xiongnu, and it turns out that since the Grizzly Bear Department started trading with Great Qin, the Grizzly Bear Department has also changed with each passing day. It is precisely because the Grizzly Bear Department is developing so fast these days that the surrounding tribes have become hostile to the Grizzly Bear Department.

The grizzly bear is like a sheep that has suddenly fattened, and he is surrounded by wolves. The trade with Great Qin has allowed the Grizzly Bear Department to rise, but it is difficult to massively increase its combat power to protect its property in a short period of time. The surrounding tribes are becoming more and more hostile to the Grizzly Bears, and the pressure from all around the Grizzlies is also increasing. He has brought almost all the surplus war horses of the Grizzly Bear Department when he comes out this time, and the war horse is also the most popular item in the transaction with Daqin, whether he can get enough weapons and armor in this transaction determines the fate of the Grizzly Bear Department.

"Kick, kick, kick."

After Hu Shang walked away, a figure walked in from the side room, this figure was not a bystander, it was Li Chen.

"Master Hou, this is something left by that Hu Shang." Liu Bang took out the wooden box under the table, which was the gift that Hu Shang had just come to bribe Liu Bang.

Li Chen nodded, obviously very satisfied with Liu Bang's current performance, and said: "I will reward you with things, you go to talk to him at night, weapons and armor can be sold to him, and the price does not need to be pressed." You can give him as much as you want, even on credit. I can give him weapons and equipment, but I don't want them to use for defense, I want the Grizzlies to take the initiative to attack. ”

As for the war strategy of the grassland, it is now the economic war and the trade war that are eroding the grassland step by step, and for the grassland people, Li Chen is also pulling one faction to fight one faction and let them fight among themselves. The internal war will divert the attention of these alien races, and after being distracted by the war, it will be difficult for them to find that the grassland is getting poorer and poorer, and the grassland is becoming more and more inseparable from Daqin. Because of the existence of war, even if someone finds signs that something is wrong, most people will probably attribute it to the after-effects of war.

This grizzly bear tribe is a model worker tribe close to Daqin among the Xiongnu tribes, and Li Chen naturally will not sit idly by and watch the grizzly bear department be eaten. Weapons and armor are naturally to be bought, but Li Chen also has to make a lot of money in terms of price. You must know that the arms business is one of the most profitable transactions, and in the previous life, the criminal arms trafficking country became the world's number one in just 200 years from a small country that could not be ranked.

"Master Hou, how do you know that he will come to us to buy weapons and armor." Liu Bang asked with some puzzlement.

"The amount he wanted, no one but the people in the army could provide. However, the people in the army who can provide so many weapons and armor are not stupid, and it can be said that the amount is normal for them to be reduced on weekdays. There is no way to put such a big business in the dark, and we are the only one in the entire Xianyang City who can do a pile business in the bright place. Li Chen smiled and said.

That night, Liu Bang personally came to the courtyard rented by Hu Shang.

"Lord Liu, please take a seat, there is an answer from Master Hou's side."

Seeing Liu Bang coming in person, Hu Shang hurriedly helped make a cup of tea and brought it to Liu Bang.

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Bang sat on the chair and said lightly: "The Hou Ye has agreed to everything you want, and the Hou Ye will give you twice as much as the things, and the price will be increased by 30% according to what you said." ”

"This ....."

"I naturally want twice as many things as the grizzly bears, but I'm afraid the grizzly bears can't afford to pay for the time being." Hu Shang's face was a little ugly, which was really more uncomfortable than entering the kiln and finding that he didn't bring any money.

The materials that Hu Shang of the Grizzly Bear Department reported to Liu Bang at the beginning were the same as the materials of 3,000 horses, and if the price rose by three layers, I am afraid that these weapons and equipment would have to be reduced. This is twice as much material, and he really can't eat it.

It was precisely because he knew that the Grizzly Bear Department could not eat such weapons and equipment that Li Chen wanted to sell them to him, and if the Grizzly Bear Department could really eat them, Li Chen would not sell them to him.

Seeing this Hu Shang's expression, Liu Bang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Hou Ye was really clever. After a half-sound, Liu Bang said slowly: "The three thousand war horses will be counted as the first payment, and the rest of the money will be given you three months of interest-free repayment time." ”

"Interest-free repayment?" Hu Shang was a little puzzled.

"That means that if you can repay the grizzly bear within three months, there will be no interest." Liu Bang explained.

As soon as he heard Liu Bang's words, Hu Shang inevitably made some changes, but he thought about it and said: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to use the Grizzly Bear Department in three months." ”

"With the war, the population of the hostile tribes, cattle and sheep are not all from your grizzly bear department, and when the time comes, I Liu Bang will be in charge of these things, and all of them can be offset by the market price." Liu Bang said seductively.

"Cheng, let's take a look at the weapon." Hu Shang slapped his thigh and said.

Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, weapons warehouse. The storage in this warehouse are all bronze weapons eliminated by the Qin army, although the eliminated products of the Qin army are rare good weapons in the people and grasslands of Daqin.

"Zheng."

Liu Bang waved the bronze sword, and a bronze cold light flashed, and a wooden stake the thickness of a small arm was cut in two.

"Good sword."

Hu Shang couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Everything is here, Qin Jian, Qin Ge, Bronze Arrow." Liu Bang pointed to the wooden box in front of him and spoke.
