It is undeniable that Master Li is definitely a man with very strong discipline, and after receiving this gift, he naturally has to talk about business, but Goryeo is different from the envoys of other countries, some of the previous riddles they just asked to see, and did not directly say that they wanted to buy weapons, so Li Qi was not good to speak first, so several people began to talk about the trade between the two sides.

Talking about business, talking about patience, Li Qi is really not in a hurry, he is smiling from beginning to end, and he does not show a trace of impatience, as if he has forgotten about the arms.

After talking for a while, Park Zhiqian and the others began to be a little unable to sit still, if this conversation continues, then this rill will be wasted, the conversation changed, and he said: "By the way, I heard that your country plans to sell weapons to foreign countries, I don't know if this matter is serious?" ”

Wow! You are really hypocritical, Lao Tzu has made a few big deals, don't you know? Li Qi secretly despised himself, but said: "It's something, what?" Could it be that Brother Park also has an idea? ”

Park Ji-qian also secretly scolded Li Qi for hypocrisy, thinking, I have been looking for you several times, if I don't have no ideas, I can do it. But he still didn't show it, and said curiously: "Supervisor, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, this weapon is the foundation of the country, and its importance is self-evident, why did your country suddenly sell weapons to the outside world?" ”

"What Brother Park said is extremely reasonable, butβ€”alas."

Richie terminated the sentence early with a lament full of helplessness.

Park Zhiqian's curiosity was immediately hooked, and he hurriedly said: "Isn't there something unspeakable about the supervisor?" ”

It's not hard! It's not hard at all! If you ask a few more times, I will naturally sue you. Li Qi rubbed his face, made himself more distressed, and sighed, "Alas. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read! ”

This cook still likes to sell guanzi. Park Jiqian hated it so much, but there was nothing he could do about Li Qi, so he could only be cheeky and continue to ask: "What is the matter?" Can you tell me below? ”

Li Qi pretended to hesitate and muttered, as a chef, it is a basic skill to arouse people's appetite.

When Park Zhiqian saw it, he was secretly annoyed in his heart, and retreated as a way forward: "Since the supervisor has something unspeakable, then he should have not asked." ”

Depend on! How can this work, you have asked, how can you not count, too insistent. Li Qi shook his head and said: "Actually, there is nothing that can't be said, it's just that I always thought that the reason why I sold weapons in the Great Song Dynasty should be known to everyone!" ”

"We know?"

Park Jiqian was stunned for a moment, and made eye contact with his companion, and the three of them shook their heads in unison, indicating that they didn't know.

Li Qi glanced at them quickly, let out a long sigh, and suddenly said, "A few of you should know about the alliance between our Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, right?" ”

Park Zhiqian was shocked and blurted out: "Is it related to Jin Guo?" Speaking of this Jin country, his heartbeat began to accelerate, and now the whole country of Goryeo is panicked, why? It's not because of the newly rising Jin State, they always wanted to incorporate the Jurchens' territory into their territory, so they repeatedly launched wars, and the Jurchens were still the people of the Liao State at that time, that is, the confrontation between the Liao State and Goryeo, but in this way, the Jurchens were even more innocent, it was really a natural disaster.

Now that feng shui is turning, the country of Jin has become stronger, and it is out of control, Goryeo is naturally afraid of the revenge of the country, and since last year they have been wandering around, trying to avoid the revenge of the country, so the word country of gold has been challenging the nerves of the Goryeo people.

Li Qi naturally knew this very well, nodded and said, "Then you should have heard about the economic construction of our Song and Jin countries, right?" ”

Park Ji-hue nodded solemnly, as if he had guessed something.

Li Qi saw that his appetite was almost hanging, and said: "The so-called economic construction is that my Great Song Dynasty went to invest in Jinguo, but the amount involved is very huge, and I don't want to think about it. ”

Park Zhiqian frowned when he heard this, and said, "Your country is a big country in the Central Plains, why do you want to curry favor with the Jin country?" ”

Your trick of sowing discord is also bad. Li Qi raised his hand and said: "I don't deny that the Jin country is indeed very strong now, and no one dares to be an enemy of it, but our relationship with the Jin country is like a brother, this move is definitely not to curry favor with the Jin country, we are just trying our best to fulfill the covenant, after all, my Great Song Dynasty is a country of gentlemen, how can I not believe what I say." ”

This is not that he is afraid of the Jin country, and he has been forced to be a seller. Park Zhiqian was worried when he heard it, and even the big country in the Central Plains dared to admit the strength of the Jin State, which shows how scared the Jin State was, and said: "Yes, yes, I lost my words, don't blame the supervisors." ”

Li Qi shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I also know the grievances between your country and the Jin country, I can understand this." ”

Park Zhiqian sensed that Li Qi had something to say, and asked cautiously: "What does the supervisor seem to mean by this?" ”

Li Qi sighed and said, "Noβ€”no, Brother Park is too worried." ”

Is this still called? Park Zhiqian said: "Supervisor, you and I also have some friendship, and today it should be a private exchange, and the supervisor has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Li Qi smiled and said, "I'm just hearsay, don't say it." ”

Sure enough, there is a secret. Park Jiqian smiled: "It's okay, just make small talk, and I will just treat it as hearsay." ”

"That's it!" Li Qi rubbed his nose a few times and hesitated for a while before he said: "Actually, this is the case, when I went to the Jin Kingdom as an envoy, I heard some remarks. ”

"What remarks?"

"It's some gold people who said it, and I don't know who it is. They say that the Jurchens have two major enemies, the first is the Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, and the second is -! ”

"Who's the second?"

Li Qi scratched his head and said, "The second is your country." It is said that at the beginning, your country robbed the Jurchens of their territory and population many times, and also abused them. ”

When Park Ji-qian heard this, he almost didn't slip off the chair, and stammered: "Is this true?" But then he expressed his particular anger and said righteously: "How can this be true, who is slandering us, it is too bullying." ”

If you haven't done it, why are you so excited? Li Qi shook his head and said, "How do I know this, I am also hearsay." After a pause, he suddenly said: "Brother Pu, is there anything else, if not, I have to go to the Commerce Bureau to deal with some things." ”

Park Zhiqian is now a frightened bird, and he hurriedly said: "Supervisor is slow, there is still something I want to discuss with the supervisor?" ”

Hold on! If you have the ability, you will hold it to the end, it is really a swollen face and a fat man, if you are afraid, just say it, I won't laugh at you, after all, I am also afraid. Li Qi was "surprised" and said, "I don't know what else is going on with Brother Park?" ”

Park Ji-kyun said with a smile: "That's the case, we in Goryeo heard that your country wants to sell weapons, and we are also very interested in this, can the supervisor tell me more about it." ”

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Park is also interested, let's talk about it earlier, hurry up and show Brother Park the price list."

Yu Qi hurriedly took out the price list and handed it to Park Zhiqian and the others.

The three of them only looked at it for a while, and Park Zhiqian exclaimed: "This god arm bow and bed crossbow cost so much money?" ”

A stick is a stick, or you don't make a move, and you want to do it in one step as soon as you make a move, I really like doing business with sticks too much. Li Qi said, "Is it much? To tell you the truth, Brother Park, I didn't call your price at all, this price list can be said to be our cost price, if we weren't short of money, it would be impossible to sell this price, deputy supervisor, you take another price list and give it to them. ”

"Yes."

Yu Qi took out another price list and handed it over, but he thought in his heart that this supervisor had really done business, and he could prepare two price lists in advance.

Is there really a second price list? Park Zhiqian and the others were stunned for a moment, and then took it, and the price on it was even more shocking to them.

Li Qi began to flicker: "The three of them have also seen it, this second part is for countries that have no friendship with my Great Song Dynasty, and the first part is for countries like your country that have always maintained diplomatic relations with my Great Song Dynasty." Let's talk about the Divine Arm Bow, ordinary bows are still worth four or five times, if the Divine Arm Bow that I have always been proud of in the Great Song Dynasty is also sold for this money, not to mention how much I lose, it will be an insult to my weapons supervisor. ”

Park Zhiqian was puzzled: "But you can sell a divine arm bow for forty times, and the bed crossbow has reached one hundred and twenty times, not including arrows, which is too expensive." ”

Li Qi said: "Brother Pu, just by virtue of the friendship between you and me, I won't tell you anything about it, come on, carry our latest bed crossbow up." ”

"Yes."

After a while, I saw six soldiers walking up with a bed crossbow. But see that this bed crossbow is more than three meters long, two meters wide, with three large bows on it, once superimposed, different from the past, now has been placed in the arrow system, from the arrow chamber, a bow can shè three arrows, the shortest arrow should reach one meter long, and the bed crossbow is also equipped with wheels, a device similar to a wheel in front.

In fact, this bed crossbow is an ancient cannon, and the shè and power are very powerful, shouldn't it be too cumbersome, and it also consumes a lot of manpower, after all, there is no perfect weapon.

Li Qi came forward and introduced: "A few of you, please see, this is our latest transformation of the bed crossbow, a xing can send nine arrows, six more arrows than the original, heavy can shΓ¨ thousand steps away, like this medium-sized can also shΓ¨ three hundred steps away, and we have also perfected the hair shΓ¨ system, originally needed fifteen people to turn the roller, pull the bowstring, but now only ten people are needed, heavy needs sixty people, in addition, the previous hair shΓ¨ is to hit the wooden stick with a hammer, so that the probability of accidents is higher, and, Now we have changed the device, please look here, there is a cylinder here, we are commonly known as a button, as long as you use a hammer to look at this button, you can shΓ¨ out, the safety xing is higher, in addition, now the bed crossbow can be transported by donkeys and horses, which greatly improves the convenience xing, not that I boast, in the defense of the city, the role of the bed crossbow, that is irreplaceable, especially in the face of cavalry, if an army is equipped with a god arm bow and bed crossbow it is definitely offensive and defensive. I'll just tell you the math, a bow costs four times, and the weight alone, this bed crossbow is also worth the price, and the bed crossbow has high requirements for materials, and one hundred and twenty crossbows are really cheap enough. ”

Park Zhiqian nodded in disdain, did not rush to answer, and carefully looked at the bed crossbow, in fact, they came here for this bed crossbow and the divine arm bow, and what they valued was the advantage of the bed crossbow in defending the city.

After a while, Park Ji-qian said, "Can you go more--less?" ”

Li Qi said: "Brother Pu, we pay attention to your love and my wishes in doing business, this price really can't be less, since the three of you are not satisfied with this price, then you can look at others, our ordinary bows and crossbows are very cheap." ”

It's cheap but not good! Park Zhiqian frowned and said, "Supervisor, can you allow us to discuss for a while?" ”

"Absolutely. I'll go to the back and deal with other things first. ”

Li Qi said that, Yu Qi and the others left.

Half an hour later, Li Qi was in the hall again. Park Ji-kyun immediately arrived at the bill of goods they had prepared a long time ago.

Li Qi picked it up and looked at it, and was secretly taken aback, what a big deal! The bed crossbow alone has been ordered for 2,000 pieces, and the god arm bow is as many as 4,000 pieces, just these two things together, it accounts for about 400,000 pieces, and there is a good point in selling bows and crossbows, that is, you have to sell arrows, and the bed crossbow and the arrows of the god arm bow are matched, and all the arrows on the manifest add up to nearly 900,000 pieces, which shows that Goryeo is ruthless this time. In fact, they ordered so many weapons, not all for the sake of Jinguo, since the reunification, they have always hoped to open up the north, so the demand for armaments is very large, but after all, they have limited resources and technology, and no country has been willing to sell weapons before, so they don't want to miss this good opportunity at all.

In the face of such a big business, Li Qi's face immediately changed, and he almost regarded Park Zhiqian as his own brother, hooked his shoulders and backs, talked about nothing, and very boldly exempted the fractional number, and distributed them nine arrows according to the crossbow of each bed, and the two sides were more and more happy to talk, and soon finalized the contract.

Wait until everything is negotiated. Li Qi said: "By the way, Brother Park, we have recently developed a bow and crossbow called the Charge Crossbow, which is very easy to use, and I like it very much, and I have ordered a lot, do you want to take a look?" ”

Park Zhiqian was stunned and said, "Charge crossbow? Why is it not on the price list? ”

Just kidding, if I put it on first, how can I trick you into buying more! Li Qi said: "This assault crossbow has just been developed, and our Great Song Army has not yet matched it, so I didn't want to sell it, but I asked for the sake of the friendship between our two countries, if you don't want it, it doesn't matter." ”

Park Ji-kyun thought it would be okay to take a look, and said, "Can you take a look?" ”

When Master Li heard this, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the money had fallen into his pocket steadily. (To be continued.) )
