Careerists are usually some very cheerful people, and there is a great demand for Zhen Qian's weapons and equipment, but unfortunately this time Zhen Qian brought really not many weapons and equipment, except for his own use, Zhen Qian gave Shao Erdong Shang a list of weapons, with a total value of more than 20,000 yuan, Shao Erdong Shang bought them all without thinking about it, and was willing to pay some more money as a deposit for the next weapon.

"Thirty oil bombs, fifty yuan each, the total price is 1,500 yuan!"

"Twenty thunderbolts, each eighty pieces, the total price is 1,600 pieces!"

"Ten launchers, each with 200 pieces, a total price of 2,000 pieces!"

"Two hundred strong crossbows, each thirty crossbows, the total price is six thousand!"

"200,000 crossbow arrows, 10 wen each, the total price is 2,000 yuan!"

"Ten sets of all-steel chain mail, each set is 1,200 guan, and the total price is 12,000 guan!"

Zhen Qian handed over the list of weapons to Shao Er Dongshang, and gave Shao Er Dongshang a discount and said: "A total of 25,100 yuan, and the actual income is 25,000 yuan, what does Shao Erjun think?" ”

Shao Erdong still said with some pain: "Aren't you afraid that I won't admit it, or won't give you money?" ”

"Twenty-five thousand is not a fortune that cannot be paid for Shao Erjun, and for me, these are just the beginning of the transaction between us? I'm sure Shao Erjun won't fail to see this? ”

For Zhen Qian's attitude of giving the goods first and then taking the money, Shao Erdongshang was very surprised, 25,000 guan is not a small amount, according to the gold price of the Wa Kingdom, there is no problem in exchanging 5,000 taels of gold, I didn't expect Zhen Qian to give him such a fluttering sentence.

Shao Erdong didn't know that the weapons and equipment that Zhen Qian sold to him were in accordance with the armed ratio of a Linglu country, and if he sent some more swords and guns, he could just arm an army of 500 people.

Shao Erdong is still a little embarrassed, he needs these weapons and equipment very much, but it makes him very painful to take out so much money at once, these weapons and equipment are only the first money, like fire oil bombs, thunderbolt bombs and crossbow arrows are all consumables, a small-scale war will be exhausted, and he will continue to buy them from Zhen Qian in the future.

"Zhen Lang, I wonder when the second batch of weapons and equipment will arrive?"

Zhen Qian looked at the list of the second batch of weapons needs issued by Shao Er Dongshang, in addition to chain mail and launchers, there were also individual weapons such as Mo Dao, and the total number was more than ten times more at once, it seemed that Shao Er Dongshang had made a bloody investment this time.

Zhen Qian thought for a moment and said, "Young Erjun, are you preparing to provoke a war in the West Sea Road?" ”

Shao Erdong said disapprenously: "Zhen Lang, didn't you say that you were talking about business before?" Since I'm willing to pay so much money, what I do has nothing to do with you! ”

Zhen Qian smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right! However, the next transaction will have to wait until half a year later, and in case of a storm along the way, will the time be postponed? ”

"No problem!" Shao Er Dongshang said very generously: "I have a request, the arms transaction between us cannot involve a third company, and your weapons and equipment can only be sold to me in the future, especially ...... fire oil bombs and thunderbolt bombs." ”

Shao Er Dongshang's conditions were very rude, which made Zhen Qian very embarrassed, "I can only guarantee that the Zhen caravan will not sell weapons and equipment to other Japanese people, but I can't prevent other caravans from selling weapons and equipment as well?" ”

Shao Er Dongshang also knew that his request was a bit difficult, after all, there were Tang merchants selling weapons in the Wa Kingdom before Zhen Qian, and now Zhen Qian was just trading with himself as a businessman, and he could not represent the Wa State, so he thought about it and said: "Can I pay for all the weapons and equipment of the Tang Shang?" ”

Zhen Qian felt that Shao Er Dongshang's idea was very advanced, this was the early monopoly model, and it was very difficult to control the arms trade between the Wa State and the Tang Dynasty through Zhen Qian, and the result of a monopoly was unprofitable, and this was not beneficial to the Tang merchants, only the more chaotic the Wa State was, the weapons and equipment business could become more and more prosperous.

"This time, the maritime merchants who went to the Wa Kingdom have rented a seaport in Nagasaki Town, and in the future, the trade between the Tang Merchants and the Wa Kingdom will be carried out in Nagasaki Town, and the Fujiwara clan will not allow the Tang merchants to sell weapons and equipment to you, so it is better to think about this matter in the long run?"

Shao Er Dongshang immediately became anxious, knowing that Zhen Qian's words were not sensational, so he said without thinking about it: "In the future, I can also open up a seaport for Tang Shang as a trading port, what do you think, Zhen Lang?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Zhen Qian laughed twice, making Shao Erdong Shang laugh uncomfortably, "I will discuss this matter with other maritime merchants, it is difficult to say whether it will succeed or not, I can only do my best!" ”

Shao Erdong still knew that his current status could not get any commitment from Zhen Qian, and he didn't mention this matter with interest, but introduced to Zhen Qian the customs of the Wa Kingdom and Xikaidao, there were many things that Zhen Qian had never heard of, and Zhen Qian's eyes were about to fall out.

"Todaiji Temple cast a large bell, thirteen feet high and weighing forty-nine tons. The Buddha is made of 968,000 kilograms of copper, 870 kilograms of gold, 16,827 tons of tin, 1,954 kilograms of mercury, and lead, silver, etc., 53 feet high, and the total weight is said to have reached 460 tons. ”

"The Fujiwara clan has an absolute advantage in the Wa Kingdom, because the Fujiwara clan does not belong to the imperial family, so although the Fujiwara clan sends their daughters to the court, these women cannot be made queens. But this shortcoming was later cleverly ruled out by Fujiwara. The Fujiwara clan first married the daughter of the imperial lineage Genji, and then made the daughter born to their wife a puppet to the descendants of the emperor born to the daughter of the family. ”

"The Bohai State has sent envoys to the Wa State many times, and the relationship between the two sides is very friendly, and the Bohai State is particularly active in exchanges, but it is worth noting that in the political relations between the Bohai State and the Wa State, there has always been such a contradiction, that is, the Wa State regards itself as a "superior country" and demands that the Bohai State submit to the Wa State, while the Bohai State adheres to reciprocal diplomacy. ”

“……”

"The powerful Fujiwara Nakamaro plans to conquer Silla again, in an attempt to relive the dream of invading Silla. He had already quietly ordered Dazaifu to draw up a war book for the conquest of Silla, ordered each province to build more than 500 warships within three years, sent many people to learn the Silla language, and the task of drawing a map of Silla had been completed, and the time to launch it should be within a few years? ”

In these years, the Wa Kingdom would launch a war against Silla almost every ten years, because the strength of the two sides was about the same, and the naval divisions of Silla were superior to those of the Japanese State, so the Wa Kingdom did not get any cheap from Silla.

Zhen Qian heard Fujiwara Zhongmaro's ambition from Shao Er Dongshang's words, Fujiwara Nakamaro wanted to put himself on the throne of the Wa Kingdom through a big victory, of course, Shao Er Dongshang told Zhen Qian these things, and he didn't ...... any good intentions.
