Chapter 151 [Ten Million Military Funds!] 】
Wei Ying was very satisfied, and Lao Qin Ken dispatched the old army of Yongdu, which shows the importance of this battle. The world knows that the strongest military strength of the Qin State is not in Liyang, but in Yongdu, because after Yiqu annexed the Northwest Zhurong, the whole country was led from the Longxi Plateau to Longdong, built a city and expanded the country, looking at the Weishui Basin, where the root of the old Qin was located, and looking at the Shandong countries at a glance. The Rong people, who also cultivate and herd, are the most terrifying, they will establish a base area, and they can also ride horses in the Central Plains at any time, even the Wei State will have a headache for it; In order to protect the fundamental land, the Qin State did not mobilize this semi-professional army even during the Battle of Hexi.
The old army of Yongdu is the most elite warrior of the Qin State, they don't have to produce, they have their own serfs to support, they have distinct armor and weapons, they don't have to prepare themselves, many of them are from the old family, they have a natural sense of belonging and honor to the Qin State, they will viciously bully the Yongxi serfs, and even don't treat them as people, but they will shed the last drop of blood for the old Qin at a critical moment.
The military cost of mobilizing this elite is huge, basically three times that of the 'garrison', and the cost will be millions in January of the war, Lao Qin is not ready to live? Wei Ying looked at Ying Lian very suspiciously, what he was worried about was not that Lao Qin was poor, but that Lao Qin had hidden a treasure that he didn't know, and the bitter cold on the surface was actually rich in the world. Qin Mugong was also one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, so he had to be guarded against.
"The king of Wei doesn't have to look at his duke like this, in the first battle of Hexi, Lao Qin spent a lot of money, and now unless Bengong is willing to give a 'requisition order', he can't make up millions of military funds"
Ying Lian looked at Wei Ying with a smile, this old opponent is very similar to the deceased Wei Wuhou, the more you say that you are poor. The happier he will be. I can't help but show the demeanor of a great country. Anyway, Wei is not short of money. After the madman Pang Juan became a general, he fought some meaningless battles everywhere and did not see the poor Wei State, and he was a fool if he did not pretend to be poor.
Hearing Ying Lian call poor, Wei Ying really laughed, it turns out that no matter how powerful your old Qin's divine beast is, it is useless, a poor ghost is a poor ghost, in front of Angel Zhou, this king still has the upper hand: "Duke Qin." Since it is an alliance, Wei naturally has the responsibility of helping its allies. In this way, Wei Guo will pay 500,000 yuan, don't worry, you don't need to return it. This king has always been merciful, how can he bear to see the soldiers of the Qin State go to the battlefield with bare legs? ”
"Hehe, how can 500,000 be enough? 30,000 elites attacked Longdong, but they faced the elite soldiers of Yiqu, and it would take at least more than a month to fight this battle. I'm afraid that three million military funds will be enough. ”
"Qin Gong don't be greedy, 500,000 can't be more. Although Wei is rich, there is no endless gold and copper mountain. Unless it's "
Wei Ying glanced at Bai Dong: "The palace has begun to use the pen, ink, paper and inkstone of Dr. Bai Wu, and the king has also read the book "Kindergarten Jungle", which is all good things, but the best is 'printing'." It's a pity that this method is confined to Lao Qin, if it can be exchanged, it is worth it if it is three million, even five million. ”
Bai Dong was slightly stunned. Wei Ying is not stupid, is he? I can actually see the huge momentum behind printing, this thing is not just to make money, one day to monopolize this technology, one day to grasp the right to speak in this era. If the sons of the hundred schools want to publish a book, which one of them must not ask the Bai family? Now the Bai family is strong and strong, and every day they have to lay out open stakes and secret sentinels, and even Jing Jian has mobilized many masters to secretly protect them, just for fear that various countries will have different intentions and want to spy on printing technology. Fortunately, although Lao Qin is not a strong country in the world, he is not weak, even a strong country like Wei Qi, and he can't even think of snooping on anything with secret agents.
"King Wei is bad, my country has promulgated the "Invention Patent Law", and the printing process is patented by the public loser, and then transferred to the Bai family free of charge, so even the widow cannot peep at will, unless it is the consent of Dr. Bai."
Seeing Wei Ying looking at him, Bai Dong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Dong heard that a real gentleman will not win people's love, and printing is what Dong loves, so he will not be used for exchange, not to mention that Wei has a prosperous style of learning, and there are talented people on behalf of him, so it is more appropriate to stay in Lao Qin as a means to promote literary affairs; However, if the king is willing to contribute tens of millions of military funds, there is something to be offered to the king. As he spoke, he took out a small sheepskin bag from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Ying, which contained purified refined salt.
Wei Ying took the leather bag with some doubts, and first asked the guard to take out some that had been tested to be non-toxic, and then put some in his mouth. Just like when Lao Yinglian first saw the refined salt, Wei Ying didn't have much interest, and when the refined salt entered, his face was suddenly shocked, and he was extremely excited to send the refined salt to his uncle's hand: "Doctor Shang will also come and taste it!" ”
Uncle Acne and other courtiers tasted it separately, except for Pang Juan, who was only interested in fighting and killing, the rest were all excited, and Uncle Acne Huo Ran got up: "Your Majesty, such a wonderful thing is really worth tens of millions!" ”
Bai Dong glanced at his old uncle, he really didn't guess wrong, Wei is used to being a superpower, and when he encounters this epoch-making technology, he will only think about how much benefit it can bring to himself, and he will never consider the reactions of other countries, let alone worry about becoming the target of public criticism, who has Wei been afraid of?
Wei Ying laughed, stepped down from the throne, and took Bai Dong's hand cordially: "What a white doctor, what a disciple of Qingxi, the widow is very happy." Fifth doctor, your senior brother Pang Juan is a minister under the widow's seat, why don't you also come to Wei? Isn't it a joy in life for brothers and sisters to face each other day and night? "This is going to dig the foot of the wall, and it is still picking a hoe in front of Lao Yinglian.
Pang Juan is not a big beauty, what am I doing with him day and night? When the time came to show loyalty, Bai Dong shook his head decisively with a clear face and said: "Your Majesty, Dong is a Qin person. It was the water of Jingwei that raised me, and it was the chestnut porridge that fed me to grow up, so I was born as an old Qin person and died as an old Qin ghost, and this matter will never be mentioned again! ”
Just this paragraph, the moved Lao Ying almost shed tears, Yingquliang looked at Bai Dong, his eyes were full of color, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"The five doctors are really loyal ministers of the country, and the son is even lucky!" Wei Ying nodded again and again, still holding Bai Dong's hand and refusing to let go: "How can the public teach me such methods?" ”
"Just wait for Wucheng to return to the Qin State and tens of millions of military resources to enter the Qin realm, Dong will report this law to the Wei State, and will never break his word!"
This conversation is about the method of refining salt, but it doesn't mention the word refined salt, Bai Dong and the monarchs and ministers of Wei are not stupid, the more secret this method is, the more valuable it is, there is no need for Han Zhaohou and Zhou Angel to hear it.
***
In Wei Ying's opinion. Tens of millions of military funds were exchanged for Bai Dong's salt refining method. Wei undoubtedly took a big advantage. With this sharp weapon in hand, it will not take three years to control the salt cities of Shandong countries, and in another two years, even the Chu State will have to bow its head. As for whether Yan Zhao will jointly raise the price of basic salt, so that Wei has no salt to refine, in Wei Ying's opinion, this is not a problem at all, and he dares to disobey the overlord of the world. Let Pang Juan lead the troops to fight directly, anyway, fighting is his greatest hobby.
Wucheng is to be handed over, tens of millions of military resources are to be sent to Qin, Pang Juan wants to work with the fungus to change the Yingqu Liang and they draw up a plan to attack the Yiqu, which will take a certain amount of time, Lao Yinglian and Gan Long and other Wenchen will return to Qin first, but Bai Dong will stay and wait for the news from Qin to pass on the law of salt refining to the salt officials of Wei; According to the salt official, Wei had begun to secretly build large salt farms, preparing to mobilize 10,000 slaves and thousands of troops to refine refined salt.
It seems that Wei Ying is very anxious, and at this moment, he is probably already thinking about the plan to dominate the world after conquering Yiqu. Bai Dong was even a little skeptical that he would miscalculate. The Wei State is too powerful, and the alchemy technique must not become the last straw for Wei Ying to completely crush the countries. I thought that the Wei state in the historical records would prosper and decline. Qin Qi will rise up one after another, only to feel relieved in his heart, this era is still the balance of power in the world, although the Wei State is strong, a salt refining method cannot help it break the balance of the world, I really think too much.
Accompanied by the young officer of the son, Hum took his 'Royal ~ Sister' back to Qin first. People are now Wucheng Order, the beast is sealed, there is a set of grand ceremonies to be held, in the future, Wucheng Order adults can no longer sleep in the grass nest, people have to build a house, Bai Dong has already planned, this money has to be won by the old man, a city is not earned for nothing, it should be expressed.
There was no news back from the country for a long time, Bai Dong was extremely bored, and he also went to participate in several 'military meetings', and found that he couldn't intervene at all in front of a contemporary famous general like Pang Juan, and occasionally expressed his opinion, which also made the old face red, and finally he was kicked out.
Forget it, if you don't participate, you won't participate, and if you get 10 million military funds, his task will be completed, and in the future, he will follow the army to conquer, but he will just make some military merits at will, so that Lao Yinglian will not be too guilty; It is better to walk around when you have this time, Mianchi is the junction of Qin, Wei and Korea, the city is prosperous, and the business travel is like a cloud, and you can see a lot of things that you can't see in the court here.
Accompanied and protected by Nie Zhu, Bai Dong took a turn in Mianchiguan City. I am very satisfied, the Bai family's pen, ink, paper and inkstone have been transmitted here, and even "Kindergarten Jungle" is available, and the price is even higher than that of Wenhua Supermarket. It's all profiteers, should they follow the example of future generations and open a supermarket chain or something? It's a little more difficult, in this era, the countries are like forests, today you can wear the same pants, tomorrow you may turn against each other, in wartime, there are rebellious soldiers and bandits, it's too headache.
Unconsciously at noon, there was a sudden gurgling sound in his ears, but it came from Nie Zhu's stomach. This guy still blushes? Bai Dong laughed, pointed to a restaurant in front of him and said, "This restaurant is also unique, and it actually has a signboard." Well, Fan's restaurant, could it be that South Korea has also learned our "Trademark Law"? ”
"Probably not, the signboard is engraved with a lotus pattern, indicating that this is the world-famous Fan family trading company. The Bai family of Qindi, the Fan family of Qidi, and the Chen family of Ludi are all famous trading companies in the world; Before you implemented the trademark law, the Yongdu Bai family, like this Fan family, had to display signboards. ”
"I see. I heard that Fan Li is not more and more into the Qi, or continue to be his big businessman, could it be that this Fan family trading company is presided over by his descendants? ”
Nie Zhu nodded: "Exactly." ”
"That's interesting, I'm very curious about this Fan family trading company. Let's go, let's go in and see if there is any world-famous Yellow River carp in the store? ”
Bai Dong glanced at Nie Zhu with a smile, I'm afraid this thing has been hungry for a long time (to be continued......
