Chapter 837: Conditions
Wang Mang is not surprised by the arrival of Hua Jieyu, with Wang Mang's current strength, although not to mention the sound of wind blowing and falling leaves within a radius of several miles, even if a needle falls on the ground within a radius of 100 meters, Wang Mang also knows, so as early as when Hua Jieyu appeared outside the tent, Wang Mang already knew.
Hua Xie walked in in magnificently, saluted Wang Mang, and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty is now in a big trouble." ”
"You can't just tell me about this, right?" Wang Mang said, "If you tell me this, then you can go." ”
"Why doesn't Your Majesty listen to me?" Hua Xie said, "Maybe Your Majesty will think that I am here to solve your Majesty's troubles." ”
"Then I'd like to hear what you're going to say. Wang Mang said.
"I heard that Your Majesty seems to have had some unpleasantness between Lin Cheng and Cihang Jingzhai, I don't know if it's true or not?" Hua Xie said.
"Since you asked, it is naturally true, otherwise what would you do. Wang Mang said.
"Originally, it wasn't for Cihang to come here to find Your Majesty, but since I met it, I naturally stopped by to see if I could resolve one or two things for Your Majesty. Hua Xie said.
"Resolve the contradiction between me and Cihang Jingzhai?" Wang Mang said with a smile: "Hua Jieyu, it's not that I don't look down on you, it's really that although your painting boat is not small, it doesn't seem that you are qualified enough to resolve the matter involving Cihang Jingzhai." ”
"It's one thing to be qualified or not, it's another thing to be able to do it. Hua Xie said: "It is true that our painting boat is not qualified to solve the trouble between His Majesty and Cihang Jingzhai, but we can find someone who can solve the conflict between His Majesty and Cihang Jingzhai." ”
"What's in it for you?" said Wang Mang.
"Can't you do things that don't benefit you?" Hua explained.
"Whether you're a painter or a painter, you're not a person who is eager to help others. Wang Mang said.
"Who made us allies? Hua Xie said: "To tell the truth, Cihang Jingzhai is the leader of the righteous path in the world, and the power is unfathomable, when I heard that there are many contradictions between Your Majesty and Cihang Jingzhai, I was really shocked, but I have invested a lot of energy in Your Majesty, and I don't want to give up halfway, so I am willing to help Your Majesty resolve it, I just hope that Your Majesty should think twice before doing things in the future, and never do such impulsive things." ”
"How are you going to resolve it?" Wang Mang said.
"Although Cihang Jingzhai is the leader of the righteous path in the world and has a huge power, it is precisely because Cihang Jingzhai is too powerful that Cihang Jingzhai has already lost the heart of external expansion, and has turned into internal competition, in this internal competition, there will always be enmity, His Majesty has a conflict in Lincheng, the Elder Li is not without opponents within Cihang Jingzhai, as long as it is said that Elder Li's opponent, the death of a saint who is still in the virtual realm, the huge Cihang Jingzhai does not care. Hua Xie said.
"Then what price do you want to resolve this matter for me?" Wang Mang said.
"The right to sell war horses in the country of Yiqu. Hua explained: " Originally, I came here for this matter, His Majesty wants to attack the Yiqu country, can't hide people, with our understanding of the Majesty, Your Majesty never fights uncertain battles, that is to say, this battle Yiqu country is almost bound to lose, and they are lucky to end up with the same fate as the country of Xu, and it is normal to end up with the same fate as Xu Guo, in our opinion, the Yiqu country is gone, and the sales of high-quality war horses in the hands of Yiqu country will fall into the hands of His Majesty, and we are here to ask for the right to sell war horses in the hands of His Majesty. ”
"But the problem is that the foundation of the war horse sales of the Yiqu country is the secret horse taming method of the Yiqu country, and the Yiqu country has been destroyed by me, and his horse taming method is naturally gone, and without the horse taming method, there will be no high-quality war horses, and if there is no high-quality war horses, where does the war horse sales right come from?" Wang Mang spread his hand towards Hua Xie Yu and said: "You want to take away the right to sell the war horse in my hand, but the question is that I don't have the right to sell the war horse?"
"Your Majesty, you are wise and martial, and never do things that you are not sure of, the war horses of the Qin State basically come from the Yiqu State, and the Qin State killed the Zuoxian King of the Grassland in a battle in Cloud City, and decided that the way for the Qin State to obtain the war horse from the grassland, the future Qin State only has the way to get the war horse from the Yiqu State. Hua explained: " As we all know, the war horses of the Yiqu country are extremely good, the biggest reason is their family's horse taming method, as long as they can get the horse taming method, anyone can train high-quality war horses, His Majesty has now openly decided to attack the Yiqu country, and even decided to destroy the Yiqu royal family, indicating that His Majesty has ten percent certainty of obtaining the horse taming law of the Yiqu country, otherwise once the Qin State destroys the Yiqu country, it will not be able to get a good war horse, it is difficult for the Qin State to form a strong cavalry, there is no powerful cavalry, and it is difficult for His Majesty to win in the future war for hegemony, these things are one ring after another, so I think His Majesty must have obtained the horse taming law of the Yiqu country, even if there is no horse taming law, Your Majesty also has a steady stream of channels to get excellent war horses, otherwise Your Majesty would not have come to attack the Yiqu Kingdom anyway. ”
"Is this your guess or the speculation of the painting boat?" Wang Mang said.
"Is it important?" Hua explained.
"Of course it's important. Wang Mang said: "Because if this matter is your guess, it proves your potential." ”
"So Your Majesty has admitted to obtaining the Yiqu Horse Taming Method?" Hua Xie said.
"I didn't say that. Of course Wang Mang denied it, he had to admit that he hadn't even had a word about it, especially for a person like Hua Jieyu who was born in an intelligence spy force, if he admitted it, maybe Hua Jieyu still felt that it was fake, and only by not admitting it could Hua Jieyu believe that he did have a horse taming method in his hands.
Of course, Wang Mang didn't have a horse taming method in his hands, Wang Mang only knew that there was a relationship between the Yiqu State horse taming method and the Guloulan horse taming method, so he felt that after conquering the Yiqu country, he might be able to get the Yiqu horse taming method.
Hua Jieyu looked at Wang Mang's expression, of course he didn't believe that Wang Mang didn't know the horse taming method, that was simply to cover up, Hua Jieyu gave Wang Mang an expression that I understood, and then said: "Your Majesty, the rights and interests of the Yiqu Kingdom War Horse Sales Thirty Percent, as long as Your Majesty agrees, this war painting boat can give Your Majesty the greatest assistance." ”
"What is the greatest aid?" Wang Mang said.
"The military salary is 10 million silver, and the grain and grass are 1 million carts. Hua Xie said.
Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, the painting boat is an intelligence agency, and it is normal to give money, where did they get millions of carts of grain and grass, and looked at Hua Xie with a strange face: "Is this a robbery of a big grain merchant?"
"It's not, but it's pretty much the same. Hua explained, this matter is also a coincidence, the painting boat was doing business some time ago, accidentally robbed a group of people who could not see the light, and accidentally got millions of carts of grain and grass, these grains and grass for other forces may cry with joy after getting it, but for the painting boat is completely a big burden, after all, the painting boat is just an intelligence agency, they are used to light and easy to carry things, for millions of carts of grain and grass such bulky things that need to be stored in a special warehouse, they are really powerless.
When the high-level officials of the painting boat were having a headache, they happened to hear that Wang Mang planned to conquer the Yiqu Kingdom, so they paid attention to making a deal with Wang Mang, and happened to sell millions of carts of grain and grass to Wang Mang.
Wang Mang was excited, a million carts of grain and grass are enough for a million troops to eat for a year according to the standard car calculation, enough for a million troops to fight long distances and are not afraid of running out of food, it is even more important for the Qin State, everyone in the world knows that the Qin State is barren and has low grain production, so the Qin State has a small population and a smaller army, and even in a strategic place such as Cloud City, the military system must be implemented, and the army must be sent out in wartime, and the grain and grass supply of the army will be ensured in the spare time, Qin State is now completely counting on the survival of the grain obtained from the Korean grain and grass warehouse after the destruction of Korea, and now the painting boat directly sends millions of carts of grain and grass to the door, which can be described as a great gift to Wang Mang.
But where did the boat come from?
Wang Mang couldn't figure out where the grain and grass got from the painting boat after a turn in his mind, so he said, "Is your grain and grass safe?"
"Your Majesty, do you think we can get the things from the regular way?" Hua Xie said.
"If you can give me millions of truckloads of grain and grass every six months, I can hand over this business to you exclusively. Wang Mang said.
Hua Jieyu's expression changed, she just planned to find Wang Mang to ask for a part of the war horse transaction, although the price was thirty percent, but in fact, Hua Xie Yu knew very well that it was impossible to get thirty percent of the war horse trading rights from Wang Mang, and now Wang Mang was going to hand over all the war horse trading rights to the painting boat, Hua Xie Yu was immediately moved.
But think about what Wang Mang said about giving Wang Mang a million carts of grain and grass every six months, Hua Jieyu's heart is half cold, and now almost all the major forces on the continent know that the war will start at any time, as the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, although the war has not started, but countries have begun to hoard grain and grass, and the grain and grass are directly managed by the military of various countries, and even some countries have made slogans, all the grain and grass only go in and out, and now the difficulty coefficient of getting a million carts of grain and grass from other countries has directly increased several times than before.
Hua Jieyu wanted to refuse, but thinking about the benefits obtained after monopolizing the war horse transaction, Hua Jieyu gritted his teeth and said, "I can't give Your Majesty a clear answer to this matter for the time being." ”
"When will you give me a clear answer?" Wang Mang said.
"Seven days later. Hua Xie said.
"Yes. Wang Mang nodded and said, "But I want the millions of carts of grain and grass you have in your hands now, and I can spend money to buy it, and I won't let you suffer." ”
"This million carts of grain and grass will be given to Your Majesty. Hua explained: "Millions of grain and grass will be sent to Hangu Pass in three days, how to deal with Your Majesty's watch, about the monopoly of war horse trading that Your Majesty said, I will go back to find someone now to see if it is feasible, if it is feasible, I will give Your Majesty an answer as soon as possible." ”
Hua Jieyu said goodbye to Wang Mang and left, and when Hua Jieyu left, Huo Qubing said on the side: "Your Majesty, isn't it too cheap to hand over the war horse trade of Yiqu Country to her." ”
"Actually, they didn't look for me, I originally intended to look for them. Wang Mang said.
"Why is that?" Huo Qubing wondered.
"When the Yiqu State was here, the war horse trade of the Yiqu State could be carried out as usual, but when the war horse trade of the Yiqu State fell into the hands of the Qin State, this kind of war horse trade could not be carried out. Wang Mang said: " All countries in the world now regard our Qin State as a great enemy, how can they do business with Qin State and send the materials urgently needed by Qin State to Qin State, and after Qin State destroyed Yiqu State this time, Yiqu State's previous war horse trading channels cannot be used, and new channels must be opened, which is why I went to Lincheng before, because the Lu family has some war horse trading channels in his hands, but as the so-called eggs cannot be put in one basket, I naturally will not put the war horse trade in the hands of the Lu family, handing over the war horse trade to them is the best thing to do. ”
"But the painting boat is an intelligence agency, an underground force, can they still traffic war horses on the surface?" Huo Qubing said again.
"Of course not. Wang Mang shook his head and said, "Do you think that the official forces of the mainland countries dare to buy war horses from me?"
"What?" Huo Qubing was stunned.
"I am a competitor to the countries of the mainland, especially the major powers, I have no intention of trading war horses to them to make them strong, nor do they plan to do business with me to send the materials I need to the Qin State, I have never targeted the target group at them, and the target group that I have always valued is only one force, that is, those ambitious people in the secret of each country. Wang Mang said lightly: "Only these ambitious people have the courage to do business with me, so what I planned to do at the beginning was black market trade and smuggling transactions."
"Then why don't you keep the war horse for your own use?" Lu Bu said on the side.
"Because I can't run out. Wang Mang said: "The Yiqu country is now producing no less than 200,000 war horses every year on the surface and secretly, this is because they control the production of war horses in order to keep the horse taming law secret, and when I take the Yiqu country, the existing war horse domestication will at least double, and 400,000 war horses are kept a year, and the Qin State cannot use them, and these war horses that cannot be used are just used to exchange grain and grass with other countries, not to mention ......"
Wang Mang paused, and said around: "Besides, the real elite cavalry of my Great Qin does not need the war horses of the Yiqu Kingdom, we have the war horses of the Yelang Kingdom, and the Yelang people are the best at training war horses, and their war horses are fifty percent higher than the combat effectiveness of the Yiqu war horses of the same rank, so the Yiqu war horses are only useful for the Qin State in exchange for strategic materials and arming the local army." ”
Yigan was stunned for a moment, but Bai Qi said on the side: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the combat effectiveness of the Yelang cavalry and the Yelang war horse is not trivial, the minister once did an experiment, let the Qin cavalry ride the Yelang war horse to fight, and the combat effectiveness has increased by no less than fifty percent compared to the previous riding of the Yiqu war horse, for my Qin State, the Yiqu war horse is really useless." ”
Wang Mang said: "This is the top secret of my Qin State, and it is not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world for the time being." ”
"The ministers obeyed. The crowd nodded yes.
