"Oh?" I squinted my eyes, this guy seems to be enough to deceive, although he said a lot of money, but it was a surname transaction, and the production method of the weapon naturally fell into their hands in the future, but, after thinking about it again, those wooden broken things are almost useless for Datang, the range is not as good as mortars and artillery, and the power is even less, and it is indeed useless to stay, if the drawings can be sold for a million, I am afraid that even the interest will be hundreds of times.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, Xiao Wang is willing to pay ten towerents of gold to buy the blueprints of those large instruments that I have seen today." The Persian prince narrowed his eyes, and his eyebrows shrugged into a strange arc. I've got a bunch of question marks in my head, what's that? Ten Talentes? Seeing my confused face, the Persian prince hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, blame Xiao Wang, this is the weight that our Persia uses, converted to about ......" The Persian prince began to count with his fingers, and only after a long time did he say: "About more than five hundred and twenty catties of gold in the Tang Dynasty." ”

Although my eyes lit up, but there was not much fluctuation in my expression, it was not that I didn't like money, more than five hundred and twenty catties of gold, that is more than five thousand two hundred taels of gold, it looks like a lot, put it in the future generations, one gram of gold is worth one hundred and eighty yuan, more than five hundred catties of gold is equivalent to nearly five million yuan of purchasing power, but unfortunately, now it is Datang, the price of gold is not high, one tael of gold is equivalent to six or seven thousand yuan, that is, six or seven guan money, more than five thousand two hundred taels of gold for Datang, It's not worth much money at all, but it's more than 300,000 yuan.

In the past, I might have admired it, but now, I don't have much interest, because gold doesn't mean much to Datang at all, at least until Datang's monetary system reform, it is not very useful.

When the Persian prince saw my disapproving face, he thought I was too little, so he gritted his teeth and added two hundred catties of gold. I finally couldn't help but say, "Your Royal Highness, although this gold is a valuable thing, it is not something that my Tang Dynasty urgently needs. ”

"What do you mean, sir? Adult, you just have to say, as long as Xiao Wang can do it, it will definitely be exchanged. The Persian prince scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry. However, I still said slowly: "Don't be in a hurry, your palace, everything has to be done slowly, we have a saying in the Tang Dynasty, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so ah, you still wait with peace of mind, you are relieved, and Ming, the lower official will personally go to His Majesty to say Xiang, and strive to give His Royal Highness the prince a satisfactory answer as soon as possible." ”

Fishing, big fish, always have to put down enough bait and line, and then gently, very gently swinging, to static braking, for example, now, I just hang the bait on the hook slowly, but the small fish in the water are already in a hurry to jump out, but we are not in a hurry, we must have enough patience, in order to have a rich harvest.

------------------------------------------------ evening, we rushed back to the house, but I was not drunk, because there was also a big matter to consult with my father, and on the top floor of the Twin Towers, the soft light illuminated the dome in a warm yellow hue, and the old man sat down in front of me, and I was still telling my opinion, trying to convince the old man.

“…… This is indeed very difficult, but father, if everything in the world is easy, why did the previous dynasty need to raise millions of troops to attack Goguryeo, and three expeditions and three folds? "I'm still very persistent.

"Erlang, it's not that my father doesn't agree with your idea, but because he doesn't like your idea, do you know that although my Datang has launched foreign wars for many years, which battle is untargeted? Which time was it just for the sake of so-called morality, and spent money and soldiers' lives in vain? The old man said in a deep voice: "Just like you said, sell my weapons to Persia, as long as the control is good, do not give artillery and other things, and ensure that the formula does not go into the hands of others, these are naturally in favor of the father, after all, my Datang's finances are not rich, if it is a weapon production, it can also make a profit, and it can be regarded as allowing the ministers in the court to oppose the army's change of clothes and waste the country's taxes to shut their mouths, after all, it is profitable." But this dispatch ......"

"Thousands of miles away, rashly sending troops, what will the soldiers think? What about the court? Erlang, you have always instilled in the court that profit comes first in everything, so my father will ask you a game on behalf of His Majesty, send troops to Persia, where does the profit come from? The old man spread his hands and looked at me with burning eyes.

"Father, it is not without reason that the child supports sending troops, and there are three reasons...... "I also looked directly at the old man, and slowly made a detailed and rigorous analysis of the relationship between the Central Asian countries and the strong enemies around the Tang Dynasty, as well as the concept of sending troops and the composition of soldiers, including the benefits and long-term benefits that can be obtained by sending troops to the Tang Dynasty.

Until late at night, I finally finished discussing with the old man, and at this time, the old man also noticed the seriousness of the matter, his eyebrows were twisted, and he muttered for a long time, Fang Zi nodded: "Erlang's words are not exaggerated, the Western Turkic tiger and wolf have become surnames, and the ambitions of the Tibetan wolf are not good. And you are relieved, and you will say that the Father will say something from it. ”

"Thank you, father." I bowed respectfully to the old man, worthy of my father, my heart is still towards me, with this powerful old man on my side, it is more convincing than me dancing with Uncle Li and other monkeys.

"In this case, the child will retire first, and go back to the official office first to prepare all the materials, so as to wait for Ming Yue and Your Majesty." I stood up and said goodbye to my father. The old man also stood up, patted me on the shoulder, and nodded kindly: "Okay! You should be perfect in doing things, and you should be well prepared, so that you can be invincible, and it is very cold at night, so you can put the old man's fox fur on it and go again. ”

"Take care, father, the child is gone." I took the soft and warm robe handed by the old man, and my heart was so warm that it was hot, and many times, the occasional words of concern from my family would always appear in my mind in the future.

As I approached the gate, I looked back at the Petronas Twin Towers, and on the transparent glass window was a majestic and familiar figure. "Childe, what are you looking at?" Bernarjin asked curiously, as he tuged his hand into his glove.

I smiled at him, "It's nothing, let's go!" Subconsciously lifted the fox fur, so that the neck also felt the warm warmth.

In the palace, Li Jing, Uncle Li Ji, and Li Daozong, the important ministers of the military, and the civil representatives were Gao Shilian, the old man, and the eldest grandson Yinren, all of whom fell to the couch, and He Zheng, the chief officer of the main and guest department who had negotiated with me with Persia and other countries, had already arrived. In addition, after my request and Uncle Li's permission, Zhong Hua, the chief officer of the Martial Arts Research Institute, also sat here.

Uncle Li's personnel selection is quite cautious, these people are Uncle Li's henchmen, and they have always focused on the overall situation, and they are also the makers and participants of Datang policies. Besides, they are all people who do not have crooked mouths and talk nonsense, because the major matters to be discussed today must not be leaked to the outside world until the results are out.

------------------------------------------------ I distributed the information in my hand to the officials present one by one, naturally, Uncle Li's case has already been put in front of it, Uncle Li sat firmly in the center, supported his forehead with his hands, and looked at the materials on the desk, these are all materials that I made after a morning of summarizing with the officials of the main and guest divisions and Honglu Temple, and obtained from contacts with Persia and Central Asian countriesIn addition to the materials that had been distributed, I carried in my bosom a thick pad of paper on which the situation of each of the small Central Asian countries and Persia was given a detailed description, even of the main specialties and minerals of these countries. These are the ones I'll use as a ramming hammer when things don't go my way.

The people brought by Wang Xuance have sent back a lot of things to Datang in the past two years, coupled with the intelligence personnel who were originally sent over, so that my Datang dare not know the details of the Central Asian countries well, but at least it is very detailed. In the same way, it makes me more determined that the long-term goal of the Tang Dynasty should be extended to the West.

“…… These are the news that Wechen found out from the Persian princes and envoys of various countries. In fact, it is nothing more than two requirements, please ask my Datang to send troops to help Persia and other countries resist the attack and annexation of the Great Cannibals, and the other point is that I hope to obtain various standard weapons and equipment from my Datang, of course, this requires them to pay for purchase, or it can also be traded in the form of barter. Seeing that these people were studying the information in their hands in detail, I continued to explain after everyone had closed the folder and looked up one after another.

"Two requests? If these two demands are really granted, I am afraid that the DPRK and China do not know how much turmoil will arise. Gao Shilian, the old man, shook his head slightly, and it seemed that he did not agree.
