Chapter 276. Arms dealers
To say that politics is really a wonderful game, just now he was still domineering, but listening to Lian's inquiry, Tian Cheng's expression obviously became a little strange again, and he kept squeezing his eyebrows, as if he wanted to look at Wang Hou, and some things even he, the head of the family, didn't know, and he looked confused there.
Wang Hou didn't really come to do business and dig your corner, and bought your people as slaves, so that you couldn't develop, pretending to be deep, he nodded solemnly, and also pulled out the tiger skin of Emperor Han Xian, and shook it as a banner.
"The Celestial Empire is rich, and the four are poor, so I am ordered by Your Majesty to bring goods to communicate with your country!"
The Lian clan who obviously listened to this, the black-bearded fat man with the official position above, and the head of the local minister of Yamatai who accompanied the banquet at the bottom all showed a look of disappointment, and they didn't give up, so the Lian clan hurriedly hugged his fists and invited him.
"General of the Celestial Empire, my Evil Horse Tai Kingdom is the queen of the Wu Kingdom of China, and my heart is to educate and educate the people! It is Emperor Guangwu who is the master of the Han and Japanese slaves! And the dog slave country on the other side of the sea is extremely vicious and does not accept indoctrination! Repeatedly plundering our land, burning our fields, and attacking and killing our people is really heinous! Under the respectful request of the generals of the Celestial Empire, send the troops of the Celestial Empire to help our country, kill this heroic path, and the country of the East China Sea will be grateful for the kindness of the Great Han! ”
After a long circle, speaking of this, Wang Hou understands a little, this Evil Horse Terrace and the dog slave country who don't know where they are are fighting, it is estimated that they are evenly matched, you can't kill me, and I can't kill you! Three years ago, when Tian Cheng came to do business, he estimated that he had blown about the strength of the Han Empire, so these ministers of Yamatai were thinking about it and wanted to ask for help from the Han Dynasty.
So this trip to learn that he, the general of Qingzhou, was coming, and the great widow and the Lian clan were very excited.
But how many taels of silver is gratitude worth? In later generations, the United States Emperor drew territory everywhere in the world, and he didn't rely on gratitude, looking at this thing and the girl of Huaichun looking at him so eagerly, Wang Hou was not salty and made a procrastination trick, and said slowly.
"This matter is very troublesome, and I will allow this official to return to the court to report to His Majesty the Emperor! Think long-term! ”
"As the general said!"
was very disappointed, and muttered a few words to the fat man with the black beard, and then Lian nodded helplessly, and pulled the matter back to the present.
"I don't know what Celestial Empire treasures the general brought with him when he came to our country this time?"
This time it was Wang Hou who went out on the ship, Wang Hou organized a voyage, and he also prepared the goods, what goods did he bring, Tian Rang Tian Cheng and the two of them really didn't know, they looked at each other, Wang Hou was like the underworld boss in the later generations, he waved his hand behind him very arrogantly, Zhuge Ying, this girl immediately went out of the door, and after a while, he brought back a big box, and when he opened it, the cold light was reflected in the sky, not only the big Japanese family, but even Tian Chengtian made the eyes of the two brothers straight.
"Eight hundred leaves of the spear! 500 knives, 2,000 halberds, 200 steel crossbows, and 200 armor! ”
Especially in order to show the quality, Wang Hou stretched out his hand and copied out a spear, and stabbed it heavily on the table, bang, the thick table top was actually pierced, and the steel spear head of the cold light flickered was not rolled at all.
However, after all, the Lian family often goes on diplomatic missions, and the family background who presided over the diplomacy of the Evil Horse Taiwan Kingdom in the era is more thoughtful, he turned his head and muttered two sentences, slightly calmed the black fat man who was about to move, and immediately held back his excitement, and asked Wang Hou in plain words as much as possible.
"Are the blades brought by the general as good as those in this box? Also, what does the general want in exchange? ”
"The goods that came this time are all on my ship in the outer harbor, and even my brother can take someone to inspect it, as for what in exchange? It doesn't seem like there's a lot of Yamatai to exchange, right? How many pearls in the East China Sea can be exchanged for how much to win the pleasure of His Majesty the Emperor of my family, and the rest will be made up by slaves! How much you can exchange, how much you can exchange! ”
"It's a deal!"
This time, the Yamatai diplomat also responded in one bite.
…………
Unlike the British and Yankees of later generations, who talk about a business argument and are red-faced and angry, we Orientals pay attention to elegance, and give the transaction a sentence or two, and the rest is just a matter of talking about the wind and snow.
In the Yamatai Palace, this afternoon was a pleasure for both the guests and the hosts, and the Lian clan was there for a while to boast about some ghosts and gods of the Wa Kingdom, and Wang Hou was actually talking about some big men's food, what iron pot stewed river fish, soft fried small river shrimp, and a group of Yamatai ministers who listened to it.
Although the specific number was not discussed, Wang Hou was confident that the ancestors of these little devils would not dare to deceive him, because only he dared to smuggle weapons outside, and for those Yamatai people outside with soft bronze spears, steel weapons really had a fatal temptation for them in the war.
However, the weapons were not only red by the Japanese people, but even by the Tian brothers, they followed Wang Hou to the fart of the big Japanese musician, and specially allocated it to his post palace.
"Prince! Superior blades! Why give these barbarians? Just get some cloth hoes, farm tools, clay pots or something to send them away, why bother giving them these! In addition, the prince actually promised to bring them a set of "Four Books" next time, the important weapon of the country, how can you give these barbarians? It's ......, oops! ”
As he spoke, he patted his thighs and whimpered.
Wang Hou, who heard this, grinned and asked directly.
"And these blades are for you?"
"Okay...... huh? What does the old man want these blades for? The state pastor laughed! ”
almost said what was in his heart, Tian Rang hurriedly waved his hand again, and Wang Houzhi, who listened, rolled his eyes.
"Since you don't want it, the production capacity of Rizhao weapons is so strong, and the weapons are the most valuable, why don't you sell them to these Yamatai people, they can still cross the sea by boat?"
"And books, don't you scholars shout for edification in all directions? Sell them books and let them learn on their own? ”
Wang Hou said of course, the Tang Dynasty embargoed swords in later generations, these little devils have not learned Tang swords and developed their own Japanese samurai sword technology, now if they are supplied enough, and hit the smelting industry that they have just developed, in the future, the steel market of the Japanese country will be monopolized by his Wang, how much silver will he have to make?
There are also books, and later generations have to cry and shout to launch Confucius Institutes to foreign countries, and now people spend a lot of money to buy them, why not sell them? Not to mention the money earned, it also beat the cultural invasion, killing two birds with one stone.
But his words were obviously not in line with the values of the time, the main ** god, his stomach was bulging like a toad, and he wanted to fight with Wang Hou for another 300 rounds when he opened his mouth! Use the three-inch incorruptible tongue to have a "fierce tongue battle" with Wang Hou, but at this juncture, an almost fox-like chirp suddenly sounded beside him, which frightened Zhuge Ying immediately, and suddenly pulled out the short handgun from where Wang Hou was mixed up, and shouted sharply at the fox-like shadow in the corner.
"What people! Hugh is going to be a ghost! Come out! ”
"The day is at the head! The sea is red! The general from the Great Han Yo! Don't sell your blades to the Dalian clan, or you'll be in trouble! ”
"Where did the madman babble!"
With the "Five Thunder Rectification" in his hand, Zhuge Ying was the first to rush out, but the corner of the wall where the fox shadow was swaying just now was empty, and there was nothing left!
"Brother Wang! No one, no ghosts, right? ”
The woman's family is most afraid of these things, and after looking around left and right, this girl trembled and turned around and asked.
But in Wang Hou's ears, he glanced solemnly at the corner of the wall, but he suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Forgot something!"
"Governor, what's the matter?"
I forgot the title, Tian Rang asked nervously and hurriedly, but with a sad face, Wang Hou spread his hands sadly.
"Forgot to ask them! Veal is not served for dinner? Venison will do the same! ”
"Forehead ......".
In an instant, the corners of Tian Rang's mouth twitched as if he was about to have a stroke, and a stream of green tendons jumped on Zhuge Ying's white and tender forehead, and he gritted his silver teeth, and the girl roared sadly and annoyedly.
"Kill you!!"
