"In Xiayuan Laixin, I have seen the prince of Wuyue in the Great Song Dynasty." Fluent in the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty.

At this moment, in addition to Zhao Weiji, his wife Chai Yu, and Wang Dayuan were also present at the meeting, and Yuan Laixin's fluent Dasong official language made everyone present a little surprised.

"Yuanjun Da Song Guan's words are really good and admirable." Although Zhao Weiji knew that the nobles in District 11 at this time probably spoke some Chinese, but he spoke it so well, Zhao Weiji couldn't help but admire it.

"The prince praised it falsely, and was appointed by his elder brother to take charge of Tsuruga, and Tsuruga has a large number of Central Plains merchants who come to do business all the year round, and after a long period of contact, he will naturally be able to speak some official dialects of the Great Song Dynasty. I heard Xu Jun say that the prince came from afar and brought us a big business, I don't know what kind of business it is? ”

This source Laixin did not grind, and directly clarified the meaning of the intention.

"The business is naturally a big business, but I don't know if you Yuanjun can call the shots, the things I bring are not something that can be bought casually, nor can it be bought with ordinary gold and silver."

Seeing Zhao Weiji's very mysterious look, Yuan Laixin's curiosity was hooked, what is so mysterious.

"This? Naturally, the elder brother is mainly in charge of the affairs of our Genji, but if the prince doesn't show you something, I won't be able to report it to the elder brother. "Yuan Laixin is also a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, if you don't take out something, don't think about getting something from me.

Knowing what kind of calculation Yuan Laixin is playing, but Zhao Weiji doesn't plan to show all his things at this time, Zhao Weiji knows that the thing that can be displayed in his hand can impress Yuan Laixin.

So he glanced at Wang Dayuan, and then Wang Dayuan took out an iron-gray thing from a box in the room and placed it in front of Yuan Laixin.

"What is this?" At first glance, this thing seems to be just a piece of iron.

"Let's try it." Zhao Weiji also knew that this thing couldn't be seen just by looking at it, so he asked Yuan Laixin to try it.

After getting Zhao Weiji's permission, he saluted, and then picked up the piece of iron.

"It's ......." As soon as he got started, Yuan Laixin immediately found that this inconspicuous piece of iron was not so pressing, and it was lighter than an iron block of the same size.

District 11 has always had good iron casting technology, so even the aristocratic Minamoto Yoshishin has a certain level of understanding of such things as iron.

At this time, Yuan Laixin had already realized that this iron was not ordinary.

Indeed, Zhao Weiji did not bring iron, but steel, now after Xinhuacheng has a steam engine, the iron-making capacity has been greatly improved, coupled with the combination of Zhao Weiji's later converter steelmaking technology, Xinhuacheng at this time can already produce high-quality steel.

"This is steel, you should be familiar with it."

Steel, of course, the people of District 11 are no strangers, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the people of District 11 had already learned the technology of refining into steel from Datang, but such a whole piece of steel Yuan Lai Xin had never seen it.

Of course, Minamoto Yoshishin knows what kind of changes this kind of steel brings, and the process of making a knife in the past is very cumbersome, and the biggest reason is that the blade is repeatedly beaten to make the original iron into steel. And this process is simply too long and too long.

But now, if you use the steel in front of you to build a katana, you can save the process of tempering and directly build the blade to form, so that the time spent to build a knife can now be made at least five knives, which is naturally a tiger for the 11th District, which has excellent forging technology.

"Lord Wang, are you going to sell this thing to us? How many more do you have? Thinking that this thing was going to be sold to himself Genji, Minamoto Yoshishin was a little excited when he thought about it.

"Yes." Zhao Weiji knew that Yuan Laixin had already taken the bait.

"How much more steel is there?"

"That's a lot, at least enough for you to build five thousand knives." Maybe five thousand knives is not a big number for the Central Plains, but five thousand is already a big number for the sparsely populated 11 districts. Five hundred years later, Oda Nobunaga's famous battle in the 11th district, the Battle of Barrel Sama, and the number of Oda family members participating in the battle was only 4,000.

"This, this ......." As soon as he heard that it was enough to build at least five thousand knives, Yuan Laixin was completely moved.

After seeing that Yuan Laixin was completely moved, Zhao Weiji was ready to raise again, "Not only that, I have other things, which are what you need most now." Can you do these things to the Lord? ”

At this time, Yuan Laixin hesitated, if Zhao Weiji really had other things, it was really not something he could do, because he didn't know what kind of things he had to pay to get these things.

"It seems that this really has to be the elder brother to make the decision, I wonder if the prince can move to Heianjing to chat with the elder brother?"

Finally came, Zhao Weiji naturally would not refuse Yuan Laixin's proposal, so on the third day of the 11th district, they were ready to go to Heianjing.

……

"This is the capital of Dongying?" At this time, Zhao Ling'er, who had just entered Heianjing, looked east and west with some curiosity.

"That's it." At this time, Zhao Weiji was also very curious, because the legend said that Heianjing was very similar to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and it was said that it was built in complete imitation of Chang'an.

"Lord, we have arrived, this is our Genji's mansion." Just when Zhao Weiji was still looking at the scenery outside the carriage with his daughter, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then the words just now came from outside the carriage.

"Let's go." Zhao Weiji lifted the curtain, jumped out of the carriage first, and then hugged his family.

"Lord Wang, the head of the family is already waiting for you there." After getting out of the car, the coachman raised his hand to signal Zhao Weiji, Zhao Weiji followed the coachman's gesture and saw a heroic man leading a small group of people waiting at the door of the mansion.

"Welcome to the Great Song Prince, in Xiayuan Laiguang." Compared with Yuan Laixin, Yuan Laiguang's Chinese is even worse.

"Hello General."

"This is Uchiko, let Uchiko take your family to rest first, let's talk about the transaction first." Because the things brought by Zhao Weiji were too tempting, Yuan Laiguang also lost his previous stability.

"General, you're really anxious, I originally wanted to visit Heiankyo." At this time, Zhao Weiji felt a little funny in his heart, but he didn't expect that this little thing could cause the head of the Genji family to be so anxious.

In fact, this is Zhao Weiji's little understanding of this matter 11 District Regent politics, although the current Fujiwara family is in Guanbai, a family and three queens, but the position of the Fujiwara family is not so stable, once Genji strengthens his military strength, it is possible to attract the attention of the emperor, so as to wait until the qualification to wrestle with the Fujiwara family.

Yuan Laiguang naturally heard the ridicule in Zhao Weiji's mouth, but for the sake of Genji's future, he couldn't care so much.

"Well, since the general asked for it, let's talk."

Hearing that Zhao Weiji agreed, Yuan Laiguang was naturally very happy, and hurriedly introduced Zhao Weiji and his party into the mansion.

After entering the mansion, the ladies were led to another room by Yuan Laiguang's wife, while Zhao Weiji, Wang Dayuan and Xu Fei were directly led by Yuan Laiguang to his study.

After the group sat down in the study, Gen Laiguang, who was originally sitting, straightened his waist and said very earnestly: "I don't know what the prince mentioned when he negotiated with his brother what can provide me with Genji in addition to good steel. ”

was really in a hurry, and Zhao Weiji was not ready to tease Yuan Laiguang anymore, so he immediately asked Wang Dayuan to take out another thing.

Yuan Laiguang saw that Zhao Weiji's entourage took out a large box, and then took out a lot of parts from the box, and assembled these accessories there.

After a while, a repeater was displayed in front of Yuan Laiguang.

"Lord Wang, what is this?" People in Repeater Area 11 are not very familiar.

"This thing is called a repeater, you know the crossbow, right?"

"Know."

"This thing is a crossbow machine that can fire continuously, do you have a bow field here?"

"Yes, yes."

"Take us there, and we'll show you there."

So Yuan Laiguang led Zhao Weiji and his party to a bow dojo in his own mansion.

After arriving there, Zhao Weiji took the crossbow from Wang Dayuan's hand, loaded a box of arrows, and started a continuous shooting towards the target stack, and shot a box of arrows to the target in just a few faces.

Although they didn't all hit the bull's-eye, they were still amazed to see so many arrows hit the target in a short period of time.

After shooting, Zhao Weiji handed the crossbow machine to Yuan Laiguang's hand, and then asked: "What is the effect, can it still enter the eyes of the general?" ”

At this time, Yuan Laiguang was still immersed in the powerful power of the crossbow machine just now, and he didn't react at all at the first time, "Ah, this thing is amazing." Is this another thing that the prince said? ”

Zhao Weiji nodded.

"This, this ......." For a while, Yuan Laiguang was a little speechless, because if he had this weapon, even if it was not much, he could have about five hundred crossbows, and he would be able to form a quite powerful squad, and in a country like District 11, which was even more lacking in cavalry, this kind of crossbow squad would not be too comfortable to attack.

However, what Yuan Laiguang didn't expect was that this kind of crossbow machine was about to be eliminated in Xinhua City, even in the Great Song Dynasty, this was not the most advanced, and Zhao Weiji had transformed the crossbow machine twice after the Northern Expedition of Yongxi.

Zhao Weiji fully learned the practice of the American imperialists in later generations, and always sold the weapons that were a generation behind, so that he could not only make extra money, but also not be afraid of any military threat to himself from others.

Because Zhao Weiji plans to return to Xinhua City this time, he will take advantage of the replenishment of a large number of laborers this time to directly get muskets and artillery, directly ahead of other regions by several generations.

But Yuan Laiguang didn't know this, what he knew now was that he was going to take down the two things that Zhao Weiji showed at all costs.

"Lord Wang, you can make an offer, I hope our Genji can meet your offer."

Zhao Weiji was waiting for this sentence, so he smiled at this time.
