"Yes! Father! Shang Ying hurriedly raised his head and agreed.

"Say! What's up? Get up! Sit down and speak! Don't kowtow to me at every turn! No! You are an official, and I am just a businessman! ”

"Daddy! You're an official too! You're a white official! Shang Ying said as he climbed up.

"Hehehe!" The surrounding guards laughed when they heard this.

The guards brought by Shang Ying were all sent outside by him to prevent the people in the pavilion from approaching. And Bai Gui's guards are all in the room.

In the inn, Bai Gui's guards are not allowed to move around casually. So! You can only follow by your side.

And the staff in the pavilion can only be controlled by Shang Ying's guards holding tokens.

Furthermore! Shang Ying didn't want the scene of his meeting with his father-in-law to be seen by the guards, worried that there would be other people's eyeliner among them.

"White officials! You're an official too! A guard chimed in. Of course! It's a joke, it's a coax, and it's livening up the atmosphere.

"Hahaha!" When they heard this, they laughed again.

Shang Ying sat down on the seat and looked at the old man.

After Bai Gui smiled, he kept looking at Shang Ying.

Seeing that Shang Ying said that he was also an official and a white official, he felt that this son-in-law was not so iron-faced and ruthless, and he talked about everything. He is also very humorous and has an unrestrained side.

The law is a hard and fast rule, and it is dead. And man is sentient and alive.

The law is not used to restrain people's normal life, but to maintain people's normal life, to restrain bad people and our improper behavior.

"Daddy!"

"Say!"

"Daddy!" Shang Ying said: "Thank you, Dad! I have already equipped the army with 180,000 horses that my father gave. Right now! Training is intensifying. These are wild horses, and it will take time to train them into war horses. ”

"Oh? Good! Bai Gui agreed.

He asked Uncle Wu to prepare 11,000 horses, which was to prevent the horses from being injured, dying, escaping, stolen, etc. Outcome! Very good! Only two hundred horses were lost, and another ten thousand and eight hundred, which did not affect the son-in-law's plan.

The number of horses traded is calculated by the number of horses traded. As for how many horses were traded to Qin State this time, Bai Gui didn't know for the time being. The 1,800 horses that Shang Ying said meant the number of horses that were equipped into the army. Maybe! The amount when it was traded to the Qin State may be more. Or! There is no loss.

"The new weapon has also been equipped in the army, and its hardness and toughness are very good. In weight, I just fit hands. Iron wheels, which we have also tested, should be more durable than copper wheels! Father! ”

"So what's the difficulty?"

"Weapons!"

"Weapons?"

"Daddy!" Shang Ying nodded and said, "Weapons are far from enough!" In our Qin State, there are currently 30,000 cavalry. ”

"Thirty thousand?"

"I only have 10,000 equipped for the time being, and I still have 20,000. At present, the national strength of our Qin State is limited, and it is simply not fully equipped. The same is true for infantry and other arms. We've formed an army, but! but there are no weapons.

When the army trains in peacetime, it is all in batches. As many weapons as there are, as many people as there are to train them. If you have any weapons, you will train them. Other soldiers, train other skills. Alas! Father! We really can't help it! ”

"What do you mean? Do you want me to equip you? ”

"Daddy!" Shang Ying looked at the old man with pleading eyes.

"I'm a businessman!" Bai Gui said: "Don't talk about making money, I want the capital!" It's still the same sentence! I don't have any money, it's not what the legend says: rich and rival the country! I don't have any money! The caravan's money belongs to everyone, not to me! Son-in-law! ”

Talking! Bai Gui looked at Shang Ying.

That means: I can help. But! I can't help unconditionally and without limits?

I've got you covered! It's okay to help Qin Xiaogong! But the hereditary nobles of the Qin State, they are impersonal! They have only their own interests, no idea of the state and the people! If you or Qin Xiaogong are unlucky, my capital will be lost.

What if that's really the case? I'm really stupid!

"Daddy! Hehehe! Shang Ying saw the sad look of the old man, and said with a wry smile: "Where can I deceive the old man?" Father! Am I not? Settle accounts for you? We are Qin! What is needed now is to open up the trade lane. Not only to transport the goods from the outside, but also to transport the east and east of the Qin State! Father! ”

"You say?"

"I need my father to come forward now, and then make do with it on the Wei side, so that they can open the business road as soon as possible. We will transport the grain of the Qin State and wait for something, and exchange some Dongdong back. Father! You know it! Who do I trade with? Not to trade with your caravan yet? ”

"Hmm!"

"I have already discussed with Gong Qin, we owe you too much, in order to reassure you, in order to prevent accidents. So! We have to cash in on some first. We will send our grain and other land out to you. ”

"Good!" Bai Gui nodded with satisfaction.

"But now! The checkpoints of the Wei State are still not open, us? ”

"Isn't Duke Qin already allied with Wei Jun?"

"Who is Wei Jun? Daddy, you know! When did he ever count? ”

"That's just as well!" Bai Gui nodded.

"I discussed it with Gong Qin, in order to prevent accidents, we will do our best to try not to let you suffer! These years! With the increase in the population of Qin, the enthusiasm of the people increased, and the food! Not only solved the problem of eating, but also had a surplus.

I heard that natural and man-made disasters occurred in many places in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there was a shortage of food. If Qin Guo gave all this extra food to his father, his father would definitely be of great use to take it! Father? ”

"Just food?"

Bai Gui thought to himself: Just food? How much grain do I need to exchange for my eighteen hundred horses? And what about weapons? What else is there?

To know! These more than 10,000 horses are all equipped, not just horses. They are equipped with halters, bridles, stirrups, and saddles.

"Yes! Yes! We are Qin! And wood! Good wood! ”

"Wood?"

"Wood!"

Bai Gui nodded and asked, "Are your timber ready?" Felled? Or dry goods? ”

"Dry goods! Father! It's dry goods! I cut it down in the early years, and I've been cutting it for a few years, so I'm going to sell it for money! Isn't it? Is business broken? Can't sell? On the side of Chu, they are not short of wood. The nomads of the Northwest, they don't need it either. ”

"Hmm!" Baekyu snorted again.

For the opening of the trade route from Qin to Wei, he also had no bottom in his heart. After all! King Wei Hui is not a good person! It's hard to get him to talk and count!

But! If you think of a way, it's not impossible!

"Plus! Father! We, in the Qin State, still have a lot of woodware. And! How many times have they been painted. If only it could be sold? The aristocrats liked it very much. ”

"Wood?"

Wood is furniture!

The state of Qin was always looking for business opportunities and manufactured many products. But! For a long time, it has been sanctioned by the Wei economy and cannot be sold.
