Chapter 0341. Deals, ambitions, accidents
In terms of weapons and equipment, this era of the Tang Dynasty is the United States of later generations, more than one step ahead of the surrounding world, more than 200 years of war and chaos in China, the Tang Dynasty 13 armor has developed quite perfectly, especially after the rule of Zhenguan, beauty and practicality tend to be balanced, iron-smelting technology Datang is higher than the Japanese State for several lifetimes, the early Tang Dynasty was still at the end of the slave society, and the difficult struggle in politics was used, and the sword used was even inferior to Silla Baekje.

Therefore, don't look at the very Japanese envoys in the morning, they pretend to be extremely disdainful of the Tang Dynasty's military equipment, but in fact, they are still very eager, the gold and silver brought by the Japanese envoys on the ship are actually items outside the transaction, in order to buy off the Tang Dynasty officials and open up some arms exports, and now Li Jie seems to be relieved again, and the Japanese envoys look at the ten Tang army men who came to show up, and their eyes have changed.
was watched endlessly by a few bearded dwarfs like beauties, and the ten Tang soldiers were all chrysanthemums, and they retreated half a step back.
However, after watching it for a long time, the dwarf envoy of the Su family suddenly shook his head with a treacherous smile and said: "King Min is good, but my sunrise country is peaceful, and I don't really need these armor and battle equipment, and I don't plan to exchange precious food for too much armor." ”
Wang Xuance's nose was almost crooked when he heard this, just now he opposed the export of war equipment to the Japanese country, hey, this time is good, the little man is still hypocritical.
Wang Xuance turned his head to look at Li Jie suspiciously, but he didn't want Li Jie to smile and say nothing, didn't answer, just smiled and looked at the little man, and the atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing.
After waiting for a long time, the little man didn't see Li Jie bargaining, so he couldn't help but start the price again.
"My father likes Datang armor, why don't you do this, two stones of grain, for Datang armor and a collar, once the grain is exchanged for a knife?"
"You should buy Chinese cabbage!" Wang Xuance jumped up directly in anger, but the cabbage was discovered and cultivated in Suzhou not long ago, and it was famous for its low price, and it didn't care if the Japanese people could understand it, Wang Xuance roared directly, and he didn't want Li Jie to smile and stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder to press him back, so he said unhurriedly.
"In that case, it's the king's own passion, and the matter of war equipment, don't mention it."
Suddenly, the face of the short man of the Japanese Kingdom became wonderful, and before he was depressed, Li Jie added with a smile.
"Anyway, this king doesn't have to worry about selling, in the pirate guild under this king, many Japanese pirates can propose to buy armor for a long time, and a few days ago, the emperor expelled back to China, the middle student Kamazu also asked my brother King Qi to buy war equipment through his association with the Tang people......"
"Can't be sold!"
In the surprised eyes of Wang Xuance and Lao Yang Yi, the Japanese envoy actually jumped up and blurted out, but looking at Li Jie's smiling expression, after shuddering, the dwarf of the Su family had to say in a low voice: "No matter how much the Zhongchen Kamakzu bids, my Su family will pay double, and all the cloth brocades that were originally exchanged for these grains will be gone, and all the Su and my family want to replace them with armor and combat equipment." ”
Even after saying this, the dwarf of the Su family was still shocked, on the one hand, he was surprised that Li Jie knew the inside story of the Wa Kingdom deeply, and on the other hand, he was even more surprised by the Zhongchen Kazu.
No matter which country, infighting is indispensable, today's Wa State, Su I into the deer father and son is equivalent to Goguryeo's Yuangai Suwen, the power is monstrous, almost monopolizing the court, but after all, there are still many forces loyal to the emperor, especially the envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty before returned to China early because of the official severance of diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, which has strengthened its power.
Zhongchen Kamazu is one of the representatives, and now the old-fashioned faction represented by Su I into the deer and the imitation Tang style reformists led by the mountain back brother, the middle brother, and the Zhongchen Kamazu have been sharp to the extreme.
Every move on both sides has to make the other party vigilant for a long time, not to mention such a sensitive matter as buying Tang armor and battle equipment.
It's a pity that Su I think it is very good, but Li Jie does not agree, haha smiled and shook his head, Li Jie still said so easily: "No, this king said that this king is a trustworthy person, the agreed price is as much as it is, and it will not increase or change." ”
"But ......"
Just when Su and I were anxious, Li Jie dragged a long voice and sold a pass: "Didn't your envoy cross the sea with 300 catties of silver and 22 catties of gold?" This king also likes these gold and silver, like this, one pound of silver, one collar of armor, or two handles of knives, a good fifty practice of Tang Army-style war knives, gold and silver are converted according to the ratio of fifty to one? ”
This price has doubled according to the domestic gold and silver prices in Datang, Lao Yang Yi still frowned, and Wang Xuance also shook his head secretly.
Originally, these gold and silver were to be spent, and Su I Delf immediately nodded in surprise: "In this case, I will do what King Min said." ”
Although gold and silver are equally valuable, gold and silver are produced in the mountains of Su and my family, and when the time comes, it can be excavated, and there is strength with armor, which is fatal!
The next wine banquet was much more enjoyable, knowing that the powerful Japanese envoys also converged back, not only did they not ask the Tang beauties to accompany the wine, but also contributed a few Japanese girls to come up, but unfortunately, I don't know if the level of the Su I envoy who claimed to be the son of Su I into the deer was not enough, or it had not gone through a large-scale cultivation with the Song Dynasty, the Japanese women were like this, all of them were mediocre and incomparable.
After sending away the Japanese envoys, Lao Yang Yi finally couldn't help frowning and stood up, bowed and admonished: "Your Highness, although the gold and silver are good, when the food is not good, the war is not the sword, we have not yet established a foothold in Fujian, how to waste the war equipment resources for these yellow and white things, the old minister is brave, please Your Highness take the example of Sui Yang's previous car, do not fall into extravagance and waste the good foundation." ”
"Yes, Your Highness, if a precedent is set now, and the Japanese people exchange gold and silver for armor, how should they do it?" Wang Xuance couldn't help but stand up, only Wang Wei was still at the table, he knew Li Jie very well, and knew that Li Jie would never do meaningless things.
Sure enough, he smiled and waved his hand. Li Jie asked rhetorically: "Uncle Yang, Brother Wang, do you know me alone?" ”
Old Yang Yi and Wang Xuance shook their heads together in surprise, but Li Jie's eyes burst out with a brilliant light.
"Now the tribal system of the Wa Kingdom has been terminally ill, the tribal elders have developed into the nobles of the clan are extremely poor and luxurious, and a large number of palaces and Buddhist temples have been built, and a lot of people's power has been spent on the failure of the development of the Silla Peninsula, and a large number of people have fled, and today's Wa State is the same as the late Han Dynasty in the past, and the Su I clan who came tonight is the main representative of maintaining the old system of the people."
"If he gains power, the Wa Kingdom will continue to be chaotic, if the reformists led by the Zhongchen Kamazu win, the Wa Kingdom will settle down, because the Zhongchen Kamazu who returned from studying abroad imitates the system and political pattern of my Tang Dynasty."
"But what does this have to do with us?" Wang Wei couldn't help muttering in confusion, but Li Jie slapped the table and roared excitedly: "That's a big deal, if the Wa Kingdom is not chaotic, what do we use as an excuse to invade the Wa Kingdom?" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Wang Wei was stupid, but Wang Xuance and Yang Yi were also stupid, and their own lord's appetite was too big, didn't they have a foothold in Fujian, and the poor jingling 8,000 soldiers in their hands wanted to invade a country?
"Lord, is this plan ......" Old Yang Yi was still in a cold sweat, compared to Li Jie's ambition now, he would rather his lord like gold and silver luxury goods, why wasn't Emperor Yang of Sui in the previous dynasty so smart and ambitious.
"It's too ambitious, isn't it? Don't worry, my Uncle Yang, the Wa Kingdom is far from chaotic enough, and this king will not do it if he doesn't have enough strength. ”
"Besides!" With a gloomy gaze, Li Jie looked at his advisors seriously and said: "Life is short, just a few decades, if you don't even dare to think about it, what else can you do?" ”
After returning home, Wang Xuance was still thinking about Li Jie's last sentence, looking at the map, and then thinking about Li Jie's plan, Wang Xuance couldn't help but become more and more excited. Fame aside, follow His Royal Highness to expand the territory and seal his wife and son, how rich should he be?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, Wang Xuance simply lost the map, got into the carriage and went to the Min Wangfu overnight, at the gate of the mansion, Wang Wei's carriage also arrived almost at the same time, and Lao Yang Yi waited for a long time, the three of them glanced at each other, smiled and entered the mansion together.
"It's so late, Your Highness is still working!" Looking at Li Jie's room with the lights on, Wang Xuance couldn't help but say with emotion, and Lao Yang Yi also nodded with satisfaction: "If the Lord is like this, we can't do something great, aren't we sorry to God?" ”
"Let's go and meet Your Highness!" Wang Wei finally nodded emphatically.
With a surging heart, Wang Xuance walked in front first, reaching out to knock on the door, but before his hand fell, Wang Xuance's arm suddenly stiffened, and a strange look appeared on his face.
"Wow, that's a lot of gold and silver! Qingqing, let's get rich! In the room, Li Jie vulgarly picked up a large handful of broken gold and threw it into the air, and Qin Qing, who was also a fan of wealth, was also very excited, his beautiful bright eyes turned into a heart shape, and he was jubilantly making trouble.
"Yes, a lot of gold and silver, how many gold hairpins can be played, I still need birdsong incense balls, and I need ......"
The three passionate strategists at the door couldn't help but jump with bruises on their foreheads, and after glancing at each other, Lao Yang Yi directly kicked the door open, and Li Jie, who was buried in the pile of gold, was immediately dumbfounded.
"Eh, it's so late, Uncle Yang, do you have anything else? Hey, what are you doing, Wang Wei, you kid dare to sneak attack this king, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up! ”
In the strange scream, Li Jie, Wang Wei, and Wang Xuance fought together, and outside, Lao Yang Yi rolled up his sleeves, revealing his old arms and legs, and shouted to join the battle group, looking at this chaotic mess, Qin Qing couldn't help but hold a piece of head-sized dog's head Jin and shook his head helplessly.
"Man, inexplicable."
In the early morning of the next day, Li Jie, who had a blue left eye circle and a broken right corner of his mouth, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, staring at a few boxes of gold and silver that had been sealed for a long time, and then depressedly handed the letter to Qin Qingxiao, who was giggling.
"Give it to my fifth brother, so that he can come to Fujian when he is free." “
"Got it, long-winded." Picking up the letter in a funny way, Qin Qing turned his head and went out in a hurry, leaving Li Jie alone looking at a large number of boxes with a straight toothache, and after a while, bursts of laughter suddenly came from outside.
"Jiurou, look who's back!" Quite happy, Wang Wei took the lead in entering the house, and when he saw the people who followed, Li Jie's brows couldn't help but stand up.
"What are you doing back?".
