Chapter 833: If you want a firearm, exchange it for something
The Sith's head melon is very useful, and while admiring the power of those firearms, this kid also began to secretly calculate in his heart how much he would have to pay to be able to take down a firearm.
Because the different power and range of each firearm are destined to be limited in their use, it can be said that these firearms have their own uses, and the Sith is a firearm that they don't want to miss.
Until the last firearm, the catapult cannon, was displayed, the Sith was still a little stunned and looked at the broken hill hundreds of feet away, with a capital letter written on his face!
"How's it going, Prince Sith?" Li Yuanba looked at the Sith with a faint smile and asked.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wang, I have heard that there is an idiom in the Tang Empire, called the frog at the bottom of the well. Looking at it today, the Sith knows that he is the frog at the bottom of the well, the martial arts of the Tang Empire, and I am afraid that he is no longer invincible in the whole world! ”
The look of envy on the Sith's face, even fools can see that the Sith is already very moved at this moment.
Looking at the expression of the Sith, Li Shimin and Li Yuanba looked at each other and smiled, it was a very proud feeling, after all, the things of his empire can be praised by others, even if this person is about to become an enemy, it is enough to be proud.
"Why should the Sith prince be so praised?" Li Yuanba took over the conversation and said: "The knight of this king's view of the Great Food is also a brave and fierce person, but he lacks some powerful weapons, if he is equipped with some powerful weapons, it is easy to attack the city and plunder the village!" ”
Either Li Yuanba's words really worked, or maybe the Sith was now full of Datang's firearms, so after hearing Li Yuanba's words, his eyes immediately lit up:
"Your Majesty, my Arab Empire is very far away from the Tang Dynasty, and all I want is Changping at home and deterrence from the outside world! Therefore, Xiao Wang is very interested in these firearms of the Tang Empire, if he can get these things. Xiao Wang is willing to pay any price, but please ask Your Majesty to speak! ”
Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanba and said: "Prince Sith, you have also seen the strength of these firearms, and my Datang also has the difficulties of my Datang, so if you want to buy it, please show sincerity, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain to my subordinates and the soldiers of Datang!" ”
Sith frowned, and said to Li Shimin with a calm face: "Your Majesty." Xiao Wang did not demand that Datang be able to sell all kinds of firearms to the Sith, the Sith only wanted to ask for the catapult artillery used in the siege, the fire gate gun, the hand cannon, and the ground artillery used only by the two armies......"
Sislin came up with six or seven types of artillery, and each of them was powerful, and he didn't want any of the less powerful ones.
"I can take out these in Datang, but in terms of price, ......" Li Shimin pondered slightly, but the rest of the words did not come out.
"Your Majesty, for every firearm, the Sith is willing to pay the price of ten pounds of gold. As long as your country has enough productivity, as much as there is, the Sith will be as much! ”
The Sith is really a lion's mouth, and he says as much as he wants. The local tyrant is capricious!
Hearing Sith's words, Li Shimin didn't say anything, but Li Yuanba's eyes suddenly lit up, but the expression on his face did not fluctuate much.
This is not because Li Yuanba does not like gold and silver. After all, in this world, there is no one who does not love money, even if it is a saint. I'm afraid it's not exempt from vulgarity.
Ten catties of gold, for Datang, that is more than a hundred taels of gold, which seems to be a lot, after all, when Li Yuanba was in his previous life, one gram of gold was worth two hundred and sixty or seventy Grandpa Mao, and more than ten catties of gold was equivalent to the purchasing power of nearly 300,000 Grandpa Mao.
But it is quite a pity that in the previous Datang, the price of gold was not high, one or two gold was only six or seven thousand yuan, which was converted into six or seven guan, and more than one hundred taels of gold was not worth much money at all for Datang, but it was only six or seven thousand yuan.
In addition, before Li Yuanba found a mountain of gold and silver on the territory of the destroyed Wa Kingdom, in the continuous mining, the price of gold continued to depreciate, until now, one tael of gold is only equivalent to four thousand yuan.
Even though the Sith wants enough firearms, what does Datang want so much gold for? Unlike Li Yuanba's previous life, gold reserves are a manifestation of comprehensive national strength.
Therefore, Li Shimin had a disapproving expression on his face.
Seeing this, the Sith thought that Li Shimin was too little, so he gritted his teeth and added five catties of gold to the value of each firearm.
In the end, Li Yuanba was kind enough and said to the Sith: "Prince Sith, this gold may be an extremely valuable thing in your big food, but it is not too precious in our Tang Dynasty, especially for our royal nobles in the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Your Highness, what do you mean? Your Highness, if you can put it forward, as long as Xiao Wang can do it, it will definitely be exchanged with you. ”
As soon as he heard Li Yuanba's words, Siston was anxious, after all, these things played an extremely important role in the Great Food, and if they couldn't buy them, they were afraid that they would all die miserably.
This is the characteristics of buying and selling transactions, who occupies the first opportunity, who wins the advantage, who will win the greatest benefit between the buyer and the seller.
So when the Sisi was about to jump and shout, Li Yuanba said slowly:
"Prince Sith, for our Datang, money and wealth are no longer of much use to us, what we need is minerals, all kinds of minerals, whether it is gold, silver, copper, iron or other minerals, as long as you can collect enough minerals, my Datang is naturally willing to sell you firearms."
Minerals, it's really thanks to Li Yuanba's idea that with minerals, you can smelt anything that can be made from any metal, so Li Yuanba's request is really for the sake of the descendants of the Tang Dynasty.
"Minerals?"
Hearing Li Yuanba's words, Sith was stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly:
"But Your Majesty, my lord, my Arab Empire is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, and all kinds of ore-producing mines, although they produce a large output, are immovable. When enough ore is collected in my empire and sent to Datang, I am afraid that it will waste a long time, then I am afraid that it will be ...... then."
"Isn't that easy?"
Li Yuanba glared at the guy and said, "This king knows that you Dashi have a lot of merchants in my Datang, and the number of minerals they sell to me Datang every year is too much, you just need to buy from these Dashi merchants, I believe they will be happy to sell the minerals to your Dashi!"
