You must know that at that time, the number of people on Fang La's side may have grown to seventy or eighty thousand or even more, and they can't be allowed to go to the battlefield with wooden sticks and cloth clothes, right?

Of course, for this reason, they have tried all kinds of ways to buy equipment everywhere, but this time they want too much, and they have bought almost all the goods near Yangzhou; Second, this is originally a prohibited item in the imperial court, and all links are strictly controlled, and if you want to smuggle dozens or hundreds of pieces, it is obviously extremely difficult to buy in large quantities; Third, other forces now, especially direct competitors such as Tian Hu and Wang Qing, are becoming more and more strict with Fang La, and the price is getting higher and higher, almost ten times over, so even if Fang La is rich, it is a little unbearable.

Therefore, Fang La's convening of this conference is indeed to establish his authority and show his strength; But on the other hand, he was also looking for someone who could trade with him, and at this time, when he heard that Du Jia actually took the initiative to mention it, Fang La was surprised and naturally very happy.

Du Jia saw Fang La's expression in his eyes, and his smile became even brighter: "It seems that the king also has this meaning, that is really good, but today has wasted a lot of the king's time, you still have to meet with the king leader, we have a chance to talk in detail." ”

Fang La hurriedly waved his hand and said to Li Tianyan: "Tianyan, you go and arrange it first, just say that this king has something important, and no one should come to disturb him." ”

Then he affectionately grabbed Du Jia's arm and said, "Jia Shao doesn't have to worry about time, if you have anything to say, please feel free to say it, this king will listen to you." ”

Du Jia saw that Fang La's appetite was almost gone, so he said seriously: "King, there are a few iron mines near our Liangshan, and I don't tell the king that we still have a lot of extra equipment after the last Zhujiazhuang, I don't know if the king is interested?" ”

Fang La was pleasantly surprised: "Yes, of course there is, although the price is small, as long as it is not more than five times the market price, no matter how much, I want it." ”

Du Jia smiled faintly: "Five? The king said with a smile, what I want is a long-term covenant with the king, I won't do this kind of pit friend thing, I just need the standard price of the market, but the king needs to find a way to take the goods away, of course, if the king can have the patience to wait another year or two, then we can trade directly. ”

Fang La keenly captured the meaning of Du Jia's words, and his eyes lit up and said, "Oh? Isn't Jia Shao planning to make a big move in the next two years to open up the direct roads between Qingzhou and our Yangzhou? ”

Du Jia nodded and said seriously: "Why not?" Now that the court is dark, internal and external troubles, and the sea is crossing, Fang shows the true character of the hero, and the king has set an example, and my generation will naturally follow closely. ”

The smile that Fang La had always maintained on his face also disappeared, and his expression was much more serious - Du Jia understood that Fang La's previous smile was just a habit of his, making others think that he was amiable, but in fact, he was not really happy, and now it was his real expression.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, they suddenly laughed at the same time, Fang La patted Du Jia on the shoulder and said: "Okay, what a hero, Xiao Wang remembered that Cao Mengde once said to Liu Xuande back then, the hero of the world, only the king and Cao Er, Xiao Wang now has the same feeling, Jia Shao, this ally, I have handed it over, come on, let's talk about the specific cooperation plan in detail." ”

Then Fang La called Du Jia to sit down, and the two began to discuss carefully, at this time they said very substantive things, both of them were eloquent people, only talking about the general direction and not talking about those trivial things, and soon set a cooperation plan.

First, Liangshan will provide 10,000 sets of equipment and weapons and 1,000 war horses for Fang La's side in the next two years, and then continue to increase by 20% every year from the third year, while Fang La's side will provide Liang Shan with grain and other supplies of the same price, and the difference will be made up with cash.

Second, the two sides have formed a strategic partnership to share intelligence and resources

Third, Liangshan respects the status of King Wu of Fangla, but if Liangshan captures Qingzhou in the future, Fangla must also respect Dujia's status, the two sides will not attack each other, and if one side encounters a foreign enemy, they will help each other

Of course, these are only in the strategic direction, and the specific details are not of interest to either of them, and there will naturally be professionals such as Wu Yong to negotiate in more detail.

This covenant can be said to be very beneficial to both sides, Fang La and they got the most needed armaments, and there is also one more way to trade in the future, and Du Jia naturally does not suffer a loss, on the surface he seems to be very stupid, after all, now Fang La's side is in urgent need of equipment, he could have sold it for an astronomical amount, but after all, it is only a short-term benefit, it seems that he can get a lot of silver taels in a short time, but it is undoubtedly impossible to get the friendship of Fang La's side.

You must know that Liangshan is not one of those small cottage forces, if you can earn a vote, you can earn a vote, they are also continuing to grow and develop, and if you don't get it a year or two, the scale will expand to 10,000 or even 20,000, then it should be replaced by their embarrassment, after all, just like Yangzhou has no mineral deposits, Qingzhou is not a place to produce grain, and now Liangshan's grain is barely enough, and it will be far from enough at that time, which is a more serious problem than the lack of equipment.

And if there is Fang La's assistance, it will be different, now Du Jia is equivalent to helping Fang La a lot, solving his urgent need, and then Fang La will definitely have to repay the favor, such a relationship is long enough, so in the short term, it seems to be a loss of tens of thousands of taels of silver, but in the long run, it is definitely a discount of hundreds of thousands or even millions of silver, and it is a win-win situation.

In addition, intelligence sharing is also very helpful to Liangshan, it is just polite to say that it is shared, in fact, it is equivalent to letting Fang La's side share unilaterally, with the current financial and material resources of Liangshan and Fang La, the information they have is definitely not of an order of magnitude, even if Fang La They will not tell Liang Shan the core secrets, it is also a great help to them, not to mention anything else, just the information of the vast majority of the forces in the world is extremely valuable.

Of course, in the end, the mutual non-aggression and even mutual assistance agreed by the two sides can only be a kind of constraint on paper, and it will change with time and the comparison of the strength of the two sides.

How sad can you be, just like a group of eunuchs going to the Qinglou, I really admire these tens of millions of fathers-in-law on the Internet, they have been swept away like a broom, and they can still come up with the theory that Lao Zhan is better than Jordan
