In the Dingzhou Marshal's Mansion, on the wide school field, a high platform has already been erected, and the back and both sides have been pulled up with curtains, and a blazing brazier has been placed every few steps in the platform, although the weather outside is very cold, but the high platform is warm. The snow in the school yard was swept away, and there was not a single mud in the school yard compacted with burnt cinders, and rows of Dingzhou soldiers stood solemnly around the school yard.

On the high platform, the representatives of the major forces of Great Chu are nervous, the battle of Yi'an, the scene of a hundred crossbows shooting the barbarian cavalry like cutting leeks has made it clear to the people sitting through various channels, and the scene of ten thousand arrows in an instant makes everyone shudder, no matter who can have this weapon, they can occupy the advantage of long-range strikes on the battlefield, effectively killing the opponent and reducing the pressure on their own side. However, Dingzhou divided this kind of 100-round crossbow that only sells 100 units a year into several shares, 40 percent, 2 percent, 2 percent, 1 percent, half percent, half percent, that is to say, one party can get 40 of the 100 crossbows, and this is the goal of everyone here. The rules and regulations set by Dingzhou make the people here very strange, not everyone openly bids, but everyone writes a price by themselves, and hands it over to the relevant personnel in Dingzhou, the person with the highest bid can get forty percent, followed by two two percent, and so on, which makes some of the representatives of the family who are ready to smash people with silver are very disappointed, you don't know how much money others pay, how to take money to smash people, maybe others have more than you.

In the light of everyone's attention, one after another repeating crossbow cabinets were pushed out, in order to show all parties that what Dingzhou sold was worth the money, Dingzhou would publicly demonstrate the power of this hundred-round crossbow. At the other end of the school yard, about two or three hundred paces, rows of targets covered with cowhide were erected, and on this side, two repeating crossbows were ready to fire. With an order, everyone only had to swish endlessly, the crossbow arrows continuously shot out of the cabinet crossbow connected the two targets of the hole, and only then did they penetrate deeply on the third target, everyone's faces changed miserably, just now the rain of arrows that rushed out like flying locusts completely subverted their imagination of repeating crossbows, what is the effect that everyone dares to imagine is that if there are hundreds of such repeating crossbows continuously launched, what will be the effect?

The two of them are Li Yunzhi, the commercial manager of the Li family, the God of Wealth of the Li family, he doesn't care who this kind of Baifa crossbow is sold to, because the Li family has already obtained the matter of the Shaolin abbot of the post-80s from Li Qing, after he came, he only listened to the officials of the Department of Commerce and Trade roughly talked about it, and his eyes were already shining, and he was very generous as long as a commission, but the only requirement was that these goods should be exclusively operated by the Li family. Of course, he also had to ask Li Qing why he wanted to sell these things that should be kept secret for the old man Li Huaiyuan, and after getting the answer from Li Qing, he was purely here to see the excitement today.

The person sitting next to him is indeed the representative of the imperial court, Yuan Fang's deputy Ding Yu, he came to see for the emperor whether he wants to buy these sharp weapons in large quantities, in the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, since Li Qing sold these weapons on a large scale, it shows from another aspect that Li Qing is a guy with no ambitions, a loyal minister who is loyal to the court to plan to pacify the barbarians, fighting the barbarians is a money-burning thing, of course the Emperor of the Apocalypse knows that with the gradual advancement of the front to the grassland, the logistical pressure will become more and more great, It seems that Li Qing is very short of money, and even a big killing weapon like a hundred-shot crossbow is taken out and sold for money, at this moment, Tianqi even feels that handing over Fuzhou to Li Qing can also make the best use of everything, so that he can raise more money to pacify the barbarians for himself, although the descendants of the royal family will lose a lot of income because of this, but compared with the immortal work of pacifying the barbarians, what is this money?

"Go and see for me who bought these 100-round crossbows on a large scale." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said to Ding Yu hatefully, "As soon as Li Qing makes this move, some people will definitely be tempted to jump out, let me see what kind of goods they are." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ding Yu agreed loudly.

"Well, I'm going to Dingzhou and tell Li Qing that I trust him very much, since he is very short of money, then Fuzhou will let him rest assured and boldly run it, anyway, the dowry of Allure will be handed over to him in the future, and then ask him for a batch of such a hundred rounds of crossbows, of course, I don't miss him a penny, I will give him the highest price."

Ding Yu, who came to Dingzhou with a mission, had met Li Qing in private and expressed the emperor's goodwill, for the emperor's request, Li Qing of course agreed, and the emperor's promise made him happy, so that he was even more justified and had a legal basis to run Fuzhou by himself.

"His Majesty the Emperor is very gracious, Li Qing has nothing to repay, but Dingzhou really has no money, and has been fighting with the barbarians for many years, Dingzhou can be said to have no surplus food, with Fuzhou as the backing, Dingzhou is more sure to fight the barbarians, and he will definitely lay down the barbarians for His Majesty the Emperor within three years." Of course Ding Yu will not take Li Qing's crying poverty seriously, since he entered Dingzhou, the situation he has seen, combined with the staff spies in Dingzhou, knows that the people of Dingzhou are only afraid that they are richer than most of the people in other states of Dachu, of course, he will not expose Li Qing in person, everyone understands in their hearts, not to mention that Li Qing secretly stuffed a lot of things into him.

"Commander Ding, I still have something to present to His Majesty the Emperor, and I also ask Commander Ding to bring it back to Luoyang for Li Qing on the return journey and present it to Your Majesty." Li Qing smiled and took Ding Yu to see the extremely luxurious carriage made by Dingzhou craftsmen, which made him speechless, Li Qing let him get on the car to experience the peculiarities of this car, and he was even more surprised to close his mouth.

"Li Dashuai, this carriage is so stable, how did you do it?" Li Qing smiled and didn't answer, but said: "Commander Ding, this is a specially made style in Dingzhou, this style is only made in a total of 1,000 cars, all of which are numbered, and this carriage dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor is numbered one, Commander Ding, please take a look." Guide Ding Yu to appreciate the difference of this carriage one by one.

"Li Dashuai's loyal fist heart made Ding deeply moved, and after returning to Beijing, he will report to His Majesty the Emperor one by one." Ding Yu was very emotional, Li Qing smiled like a flower, "Thank you Commander Ding for your kind words for us, Commander Ding is a military general, I have also prepared a small gift here, and I also ask Commander Ding to accept it with a smile." ”

Waving his hand, Tang Hu immediately held a black and heavy waist knife, the appearance was very inconspicuous, just when Ding Yu was surprised, Li Qing had already pulled out the knife, signaled Ding Yu to also take out the waist knife he was wearing, and held the two knives, Li Qing struck each other, the two knives collided, and there was a soft sound, Ding Yu's original knife choked, and it was broken into two, Ding Yu couldn't help but gasp, the knife he wore in his waist was not ordinary, it was made by the most clever craftsman in Beijing with the best fine iron, how could it be so vulnerable, Holding the knife handed to him by Li Qing, he couldn't put it down, as a military general, having such a sharp weapon is equivalent to one more life.

"Thank you Li Shuai, thank you Li Shuai!" Ding Yu thanked him again and again, there must not be a few such sharp weapons in the state.

Sure enough, Li Qingdao: "I only have two of these knives in Dingzhou now, one is now with me, and the other is him, so I will give it to Lord Ding, and I hope Lord Ding will not refuse!" ”

Ding Yu couldn't help but be grateful, "This, this is too precious, how can I thank Li Shuai, there is nothing to repay, there is nothing to repay!" ”

Li Qing laughed, patted Ding Yu's shoulder and said, "Lord Ding is too polite, you often accompany His Majesty the Emperor, just say a word, and I will be inexhaustible in Dingzhou!" ”

"Of course, that's of course, Li Shuai rest assured, if there is anything in the future, Ding will never forget to speak for Dingzhou." Ding Yu smiled.

Ding Yu, who was sitting on the stage, stroked the new knife in his waist while talking to Li Yunzhi about some boundless nonsense, at this time, the bidding on the stage had begun, and everyone who had the intention of buying and selling got a piece of paper and an envelope, but they hesitated and didn't dare to put pen to paper. If you want to buy a 100-round crossbow, you will have to wait until next year, the key is that if this 100-round crossbow can be replicated, then it will be a year late, how much impact will it have!

Zhong Ziqi, who was sitting on Li Qing's side, picked up the pen, and wanted to fall down several times, but hesitated, no matter what Li Qing's intentions were, Zhong Ziqi was desperate to get the biggest order, forty hundred crossbows, but Li Qing's strange bidding rules made him hesitate for the first time in his life.

"Lord Zhong?" Li Qing looked at him with a smile.

Zhong Ziqi raised his head, saw Li Qing's smiling eyes, his heart was shocked, and he raised a wave of enlightenment, picked up the pen, quickly wrote down a line of words, and then folded it and put it in the envelope.

"Lord Zhong is sure, huh?" Li Qing said with a smile.

"Don't dare, Li Shuai's rules and regulations are unique, and Zhong is also the first time to talk to Wen, so I can only try my luck."

At this time, the people on the stage have already written the price, the envelope was put away, Dingzhou Tongzhi Lu Yiming opened it one by one in front of everyone, and the scribe on the side took up the pen to record, everyone was worried, and they were all staring at Lu Yiming intently, and everyone was not worried about Lu Yiming cheating, because it had been made clear in advance that anyone who had any doubts could check everyone's bid book on the spot.

Lu Yiming was ecstatic at this time, a hundred-shot crossbow, the cost of stainless steel in Dingzhou aside, the cost of the cost is only a few dozen taels of silver, less than a hundred taels, but seeing the highest price now, it is Lu Yiming, who is extremely calm, and his face can't help but change color.

"The first batch of forty percent of the shares!" Lu Yiming picked up the list written by the scribe and read it aloud, and the audience instantly fell silent. "Belong to the Ningzhou Zhongzi period." Lu Yiming's stop turned to Zhong Ziqi on Li Qing's side, "Bid a thousand taels each!" ”

There was a buzz, and there was a discussion on the stage. Everyone's eyes turned to Zhong Ziqi, Zhong Ziqi stood up with a smile, and hugged his fists in all directions as a salute, "Accept, accept!" ”

Ding Yu looked at Zhong Ziqi coldly, his eyes were cold and full of murderous intent, the greed he had shown in front of Li Qing before was gone at this time, which shocked Qingfeng, who had been observing him, to be the deputy of the Ministry Division, it would be the appearance he had shown before, but he was deceived by his previous appearance.
