Hearing that Yin Xin estimated the high price of Wanguan, Huang Jie couldn't help but laugh secretly, but turned his gaze to Yao Sheng, who also looked salivating, and said, "What does Uncle Yao think?" ”

Although Yao Sheng is only expensive because of a woman, as the uncle of Goryeo, he still has vision, and he doesn't think that such a chariot can be worth 10,000 yuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And he has seen the information brought by the spies, when Huang Jie surrounded Pyongyang City, he put out more than 100 chariots, and if one is 10,000, this cannot be more than 1 million.

After thinking about it, Yao Sheng said: "The subordinates think that Wan Guan may really be a little ...... Taller? ”

Huang Jie also smiled: "It's really high!" A naked car is 2,000 crossbows, and each car bed crossbow is 1,000 crossbows, and three bases are distributed with a total of 36 crossbow arrows, in addition to 1,000 crossbows per set of external armor in the vehicle. That is to say, the total price of a well-armed chariot is only 6,000 yuan. ”

"Shhh Yao Sheng and Yin Xin gasped together, although they did estimate the high price of 10,000 guan, but when they heard that each chariot was only 6,000 guan, the first thought that flashed in their minds was "really expensive", and the second thought was "really cheap".

It is true that 6,000 guan is really a lot of money for ordinary people, but if you want to cover it with the annual fiscal revenue and military expenditure of the Goryeo court, it is obviously not an excessive price. The two even thought together that if the Song army system was used, 100 chariots could form the size of an army, and the hardware investment of such a chariot army would only be 600,000 yuan.

Although 600,000 guan is not a small number, the problem is that this crossbow can easily fight seven or eight hundred steps!

Not to mention the kung fu of being stunned, how did the two of them calculate in their hearts, but Yao Sheng first turned in his mind, and suddenly remembered the previous agreement between the Great Song and Goryeo, the Great Song Dynasty subsidized Goryeo with a one-time subsidy of 200,000 yuan and 3,000 sets of infantry heavy armor and corresponding weapons, crossbows, arrows and other accessories, and gave another 100,000 yuan per year at the price of "annual gifts", obtained two enclave garrisons in Yiju and Inju Haikang (that is, Incheon Port) north of the Datong River, and permanently ceded Bailing Island to the Great Song Dynasty.

At that time, the two enclaves and Baekryeong Island had no value to Goryeo, Yiju was actually controlled by the Jurchens, Haikang was a small fishing village, and Baekyeong Island was an uninhabited desert island, so this business was literally Goryeo picking up a lot of money for nothing.

However, although the 200,000 yuan of money in the Great Song Dynasty could not be touched even by Yao Sheng, he had a deep memory of the 3,000 sets of infantry heavy armor handed over to Goryeo by the Great Song Dynasty, because after the Great Song Dynasty sent the armor to Goryeo, in addition to the Goryeo Imperial Court issued most of the equipment to the forbidden army and the Shenbu army, Wang Kai also left a small part as a reward to the important ministers of the court.

According to his observation at the time, the workmanship of these heavy armor of the Great Song Infantry Army has been quite fine, but at this time, it is not comparable to the armor worn by Huang Jie's personal guards, thinking that these armor sent to Goryeo should be the "ordinary armor" in Huang Jie's mouth, since the Great Song Dynasty can take out armor of this quality and trade with Goryeo, and now he is talking to them about the price of the chariot, there may be some way to follow.

Thinking about it, Yao Sheng was bold, and a bold idea instantly took shape in his mind, so he boldly asked: "The subordinates dare to ask King Song, I don't know if Da Song is willing to grant such a sharp weapon?" ”

After Yao Sheng said this, his eyes looked at Huang Jie very firmly, and he was stunned to observe Huang Jie's facial expression, and he didn't dare to miss a moment.

In his opinion, after Huang Jie heard this, he obviously saw that the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and then he said with a smile: "There is nothing in the world that cannot be bid!" Whether to grant or not depends on how sincere Goryeo is? ”

"There's a door!" Suddenly, the sweat on Yao Sheng's head began to come out in an instant, and his brain suddenly began to spin at high speed.

Didn't Huang Jie have already reported the price composition of each part of a chariot just now, and the total price is already 6,000 guan, and he can't pay back the price of 5,000 guan, but he can't give a price that is too high, so Yao Sheng thought about it quickly, and said: "Gao Li is willing to pay 7,000 guan as a price, and beg the Great Song Dynasty to grant ten ...... chariot No, twenty! ”

Huang Jie pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, although Gao Yu has fallen now, the chariot workshop in Tokyo and the chariot workshop in Huangzhou are still operating normally, as far as the current price of a chariot is only 800 yuan, and the vehicle-mounted bed crossbow produced by the ordnance supervision is only 300 yuan, and the total price of a chariot is actually less than 2,000 yuan.

However, now that the Goryeo people have come up with such sincerity at the price of 7,000 yuan, how can Huang Jie have any reason to push the money out, so he also smiled and said: "Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty have reconciled, and they are friendly neighbors with a strip of water, and 7,000 is 7,000!" It's just that how can twenty chariots form an army? It takes at least fifty to form an army! ”

When Yao Sheng heard this, his back spine was so excited that he was about to get wet, and he immediately replied, "Fifty crosses are also completed, but for a while, I am afraid that it will be difficult to raise them!" ”

Huang Jie smiled and said, "It's okay, you can pay in installments!" ”

After explaining the meaning of the disagreement payment to Yao Sheng, he also said: "It is not necessarily necessary to force the payment of money, but it can be converted into equivalent things, such as grain, livestock, labor, and so on." ”

As soon as he heard that there was such a settlement method, Yao Sheng immediately agreed, but Huang Jie said: "In addition, this king is also straight to the point, if Goryeo gets such a sharp weapon as the Great Song Dynasty, he must promise not to imitate private property, and second, not to give it to others, I don't know if Goryeo can do it?" ”

When Yao Sheng heard this condition, he didn't feel that there was anything harsh, after all, what he was selling now was a weapon of the country that could be used to attack the city and plunder the land, and it was also a precaution not to imitate and not to be with others, so he also promised: "This matter will be taken care of by the ministers!" ”

Huang Jie didn't talk nonsense, so he said: "In this way, it will be a word!" What is the success or failure of this business, and this king will only recognize you as opening the Beijing Yao clan in the future, how about it? ”

Yao Sheng also agreed: "It should be so!" ”

I want to say one more thing here, before Yao Sheng became the uncle of the country, he was not an ordinary person, first of all, the Yao family was not a grass house in Goryeo, but it could be regarded as a unique Wangshi family, this is the Yao family in Kaijing.

The ancestor of the Goryeo Yao clan, Yao Bo, a former Tang Hanlin scholar who crossed to Silla to escape the war of the Huangchao Rebel Army (so Yao Bo was the ancestor of the Yao family in Gyeongju, South Korea), settled in Jincheng (now Gyeongju, South Korea) after Yao Bo crossed to the east, and was treated with courtesy by King Jeongkang of Silla. Because Yao Bo came from the illustrious Wuxing Yao family, he was named Wu Xingjun, and later served as King Dingkang of Silla, Queen Zhensheng, King Xiaogong, King Shende, King Jingming of the five dynasties, and the official to Situ. After Yao Bo's death, he was posthumously awarded the title of "Gongjing Han Xinghong Wenwude Loyal Hero" by King Jingai of Silla.

His eldest son Yao Renhui was the founder of Goryeo so he was named the king of Haedong by King Taejo of Goryeo, and the official was the secretary of Wuzangqing, and later moved to Kaegyeong, the capital of Goryeo (now Kaesong, North Korea), with his family, so Yao Renhui was the ancestor of the Yao family in Kaijing.
