Chapter 423: It's Done

The next morning, Du Dalei and Li Jilong were practicing boxing, and Pang Xu hurriedly walked over and said: "Old Du, He Tuiguan from Kaifeng Mansion is here, saying that you should prepare to enter the city immediately, and Kaifeng Mansion Yin wants to see you." ”

Du Dalei wiped the sweat on his face, "Pang Xu, he didn't say that Zhao Guangyi was looking for me something?" ”

"I didn't say it, and he didn't know why Zhao Guangyi sent him."

Du Dalei put on his clothes, and Li Jilong came over and said, "Brother, I'll go to Kaifeng Mansion with you, if my uncle wants to deal with you, I'll find a way to get you out." ”

Du Dalei was very moved, and he patted Li Jilong's shoulder vigorously: "Good brother, I'm fine, it is estimated that Zhao Guangyi wants to talk to me about business, and there should be no threat." ”

"Then I'll follow you too, I don't have anything to do anyway."

"Okay, let's go pack up and leave in a moment."

About half an hour later, everyone gathered in front of the gate, and He Tuiguan was already waiting a little impatiently. But he was very self-contained, and he didn't get angry, just greeted Du Dalei lightly, turned over his horse, and left the village.

Du Dalei hurriedly pulled Li Jilong into the carriage, and Pang Xu and the guards walked outside, protecting the carriage and marching towards Bianliang City.

Inside the carriage, Li Jilong asked puzzledly: "Brother, why don't we ride horses?" It's so stuffy in the carriage! ”

"Stupid, I'm a celebrity now, if I ride into the city, I guess the little lady in Bianliang City will eat me alive. Do you want to keep a low profile? ”

Li Jilong smirked: "Brother, what you said is too exaggerated, right?" That is, Pan Lou's little lady knows you, right? You can't just be known by just one person on the street, right? ”

Du Dalei took out a pair of pokers from his arms: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's hurry up and play two blackjacks, Lao Tzu will clean up all the money on your body!" ”

An hour later, the convoy came to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

Du Dalei jumped down from the carriage and stretched his waist.

"Ah, I'm fucking tired!"

Li Jilong jumped down with a blue face: "Brother, you must be out of the old man." Otherwise, why am I losing money every time? ”

Du Dalei patted Li Jilong's shoulder: "Boy, you are still too tender." It's not that my brother and I are out of the woods, it's that you are inexperienced. Play a few more times later and you'll learn. ”

He Tuiguan took the two into Kaifeng Mansion and went straight to Zhao Guangyi's study.

Zhao Guangyi was reading the case file in the study, and when he saw Du Dalei and Li Jilong coming in, he nodded lightly: "Sit down, wait for me to finish reading this document." ”

He Tuiguan went out, and the servants of Kaifeng Mansion brought tea to the two.

After another ten minutes, Zhao Guangyi put down the paperwork, and when he saw Du Dalei looking like an old god, he coughed lightly:

"Mr. Du, this time the official came to you to talk to you about ordnance."

Du Dalei smiled: "Lord Fu Yin, let's just open it up, can't you imitate it?" ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervisor really can't imitate your weapons. ”

"Of course, if you don't have diamonds, you don't have porcelain work. The high-quality steel we produce can be said to be unique in the world. And the quality is so high and the price is very low, no one can beat us. ”

Zhao Guangyi was very helpless, in the past few days, the ordnance supervisor has summoned the top craftsmen in Quankaifeng, and everyone is studying the ordnance brought by Du Dalei without sleep or food, but the conclusion is that even if it is imitated, it cannot reach the quality of others, and the cost is extremely high, so it is not cost-effective at all.

Zhao Guangyi was instructed by Zhao Kuangyin to be responsible for negotiating with Du Dalei, striving to reach an agreement as soon as possible, and doing his best to purchase Du Dalei's ordnance in large quantities.

He asked, "Mr. Du, if Da Song wants to buy a large number of your ordnance, can you supply them on time and as soon as possible?" ”

"Then it depends on how much you want?"

"We will first * have 1,000 swords, 1,000 bows, 5,000 spearheads, 5,000 half-body plate armor, and 10,000 leather armor. Other auxiliary equipment is also in great demand. How long do you see the delivery? ”

Du Dalei lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "In five months, these things can be shipped to Kaifeng." ”

Zhao Guangyi gasped: "Hey, five months? You're not mistaken, right? ”

Du Dalei smiled slightly: "There must be no problem, if we can't deliver on time, we won't take a penny." Well, I'll stay in Kaifeng as a hostage until these ordnance are shipped to Kaifeng, what do you think? ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded: "Mr. Du is extremely cool, and the official admires him." If you are able to supply on time, the official will allow you to sell spirits and other of your goods in Bianliang City. ”

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin estimated that if Du Dalei could transport these ordnance within a year, it would be completely acceptable. Zhao Guangyi didn't expect that Du Dalei would say that it would be available in five months! Do they have such a huge production capacity?

Du Dalei saw Zhao Guangyi's thoughts, so he said happily:

"Lord Fu Yin, do you have any doubts about whether we can supply in a short time?"

Zhao Guangyi nodded: "Yes, this official is a little suspicious." ”

"Lord Fu Yin, have you ever wondered why we were able to produce these ordnance in large quantities in a short period of time? And it's still very cheap? ”

"Yes, according to the craftsmen of the Ordnance Prison, it takes a long time to build a hundred steel knives. And the cost is huge, so the steel knife is very expensive. And the war knife you provide is very cheap, but it is better than the hundred steel knives produced by the Great Song Dynasty Weapons Supervisor, why is this? ”

"Lord Fu Yin, we have the most advanced weapon production technology, so we can create the best quality weapons in a very short time. This reduces the cost, so the price of our weapons is very low. ”

Zhao Guangyi made waves in his heart, if the Great Song Dynasty could get such an advanced weapon manufacturing method, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?

Du Dalei seemed to see through Zhao Guangyi's thoughts, and he said with some playfulness:

"Lord Fu Yin, we will not transfer weapons production technology, so you don't have to speak. If you want to hold me hostage, I have no problem. You've got to take care of the food anyway, right? It's not bad for me to stay here. Maybe my brothers will sell these weapons to the Liao State, the Northern Han Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Later Shu State in a fit of anger, and you guys will not be good, right? ”

Zhao Guangyi felt very angry, and he didn't dare not ignore Du Dalei's threat. If they really sell weapons to the great enemy Liao, it will be very dangerous.

The Liao State originally had a large number of cavalry, and if they got these excellent ordnance, they could deploy troops under Kaifeng City within a few days. With the terrifying power of the Divine Arm Bow, it is not difficult to capture Bianliang City.

Du Dalei continued: "Actually, we are all Han Chinese, and our brothers don't want to sell these weapons to the Liao State at all. The reason why we came to Bianliang City is to strengthen the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, so that you can take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the future. After all, it is the territory of our ancestors, and now it is controlled by the Hu people, and our brothers feel very unhappy, so they want to sell weapons to you. ”

Zhao Guangyi's face was cloudy, he thought for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Du, this official is inclined to agree with your suggestion. You wait here for a while, I will go into the palace now to report this matter to the imperial brother, and I am expected to be back soon." ”

Zhao Guangyi left in a hurry, and Du Dalei took the bored Li Jilong to the yard to practice his fists and feet.

The two began to practice Tai Chi for a while, then took off their coats and began to train in martial arts.

After a while, the two of them were sweating like rain.

Du Dalei simply took off his shirt and fought with Li Jilong shirtless.

Li Jilong saw that Du Dalei was so arrogant, so he took off his shirt and went into battle shirtless, fighting against Du Dalei.

The officials and officials of Kaifeng Mansion passed by here, and when they saw that the two of them were fighting to the flesh and fighting very excitingly, they all stopped to watch, and soon dozens of people gathered.

Everyone pointed at the two of them, and applauded loudly from time to time.

After another half an hour, both of them were a little tired, so they stopped to rest. The servants brought tea, and the two hurriedly poured it.

After a while, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion saw that the two were no longer fighting, so they dispersed.

Du Dalei rested enough, so he took out his poker and continued to play with Li Jilong.

When the two of them were rumbling with hunger, Zhao Guangyi came back.

His face was full of joy, and he said loudly to the two: "It's done, the imperial brother agreed." Mr. Du, you should quickly send someone to send a message back and ask your brothers to speed up the production of these ordnance. ”

Du Dalei was also very happy, his main task of coming to Bianliang City was completed, and he didn't expect it to be so fast. It seems that Zhao Kuangyin is very atmospheric! This is the bearing that the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty should have.

Zhao Guangyi continued: "Mr. Du, my imperial brother said that in order to show the sincerity of our Great Song Dynasty, you can immediately sell the things you brought in Bianliang City, including spirits. But the royal brother said that you can only sell alcohol in a fixed place, and we must send someone to supervise and keep accounts. Because you have to pay the liquor tax. ”

Du Dalei nodded: "No problem, it's natural to pay taxes, I don't know how much to pay?" ”

Zhao Guangyi stretched out two fingers: "Ercheng." ”

Du Dalei was happy: "It's fair, I have no opinion." ”

Zhao Guangyi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Du Dalei.

"This is what my imperial brother wrote to you, I hope you can make more money, and our Great Song can also collect more taxes."

Du Dalei opened it and saw that the three big characters 'Wuliangye' were written on the paper, as well as Zhao Kuangyin's private seal.

This character is not very well written, but this is the imperial pen of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! With this talisman, Lao Tzu can walk sideways in Bianliang City! Hehe, this business is good! However, spirits may not be popular in the Great Song Dynasty, so Lao Tzu has to use his brains and think of a good way to come out.
