Chapter 543: Demand
It is actually not difficult for Xu Yuan to make money, but it is still difficult to get such a large sum of money in a short period of time, and it is very great.
Looking around at the antique halls around him, Xu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and said tentatively to Hua Hong:
"Old man Hua. If I want to buy it, can I defer the payment of this money? ”
"I can't."
Hua Hong replied with a chuckle, and then asked rhetorically: "Didn't you just say that you have a little money on hand?" ”
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan cheekily smiled and said:
"It's because it's a small amount of money that I want to discuss it with your old man."
"Small business, no credit."
Hua Hong can see that this kid doesn't even have enough of this batch of ordnance: "The old man in Huizhou County will handle it for you, but this batch of ordnance. When you have enough money, come back to the old man. ”
After that, Hua Hong simply stood up neatly.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan directly took two quick steps and grabbed the other party's sleeve, lowered his voice, and said quickly:
"Old man Hua, you should know that my layout is a big deal, so you can't be accommodating?"
"Big deal? Scold. Boy, do you have to tell the old man to break it? ”
Hua Hong glanced at Xu Yuan, who was blocking in front of him, and his voice seemed to be smiling:
"The Xiangguo Mansion has no idea of sending troops to interfere with Dongying for the time being, so why do you want the Xiangfu to pay for it? If you have to contribute to the Xiangguo Mansion, you can go to Xu Yinhe, and your father will speak, and the old man will immediately coordinate the following to mobilize the ordnance for you. ”
“.”
After being quiet for a while, Xu Yuan coughed lightly and continued talking:
"Old man Hua, it's not that this silver is not for you, with the credit of my identity, I can't even exchange the ordnance of two battalions? And we have decided on the settlement of the remnants of the underground palace, can they still escape? ”
Hua Hong glanced at Xu Yuan up and down, snorted lightly, and spit out two words:
"Nope."
Xu Yuan smashed his mouth and asked:
"Then with your status as the president of the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce, this favor should be able to help, right?"
Hua Hong did not deny it, and replied businesslikely:
"Yes, yes, but the old man is unwilling to help, in the matter of Dongying Island, the old man has the same attitude as your father, as far as the interests of the prime minister's house are concerned, there is no need to follow up with the royal family."
As he spoke, Hua Hong glanced at Xu Yuan deeply:
"You should be able to figure out why."
“.”
Xu Yuan was silent.
Di'an City was almost burned to the ground, although it was the cause of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was the face of the Tianjia surnamed Li.
Li Yaoxuan was framed.
If he does nothing, or only symbolically sends troops, this weak attitude will make many people in the territory want to move, so in order to maintain the majesty of the royal family, he must send troops to teach a lesson.
And this is exactly what the Prime Minister is happy to see.
Although the imperial family and the Xiangfu are still in the united front, there is already a hidden front in this cooperation, and it is impossible for Li Yaoxuan to leave the behemoth of the Xiangguo Mansion to his successor.
And once the imperial family sends troops to the east, its strength in the Great Yan territory will inevitably be weakened to a certain extent.
To fight a war is to fight a country's strength, not to mention an expedition overseas.
Gently patting Xu Yuan's shoulder, Hua Hong glanced at Bai Muxi, who had been listening with his head down, and said softly:
"Changtian, what do you want to do with your private soldiers, the old man doesn't want to care, and he can't manage it, but as long as it involves the interests of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old man will follow your father's orders.
"Of course,
"If you can go through the normal purchase process, the old man can also give you some support."
“.”
Xu Yuan's eyes drooped slightly, and he said softly:
"Okay. I know. ”
Hua Hong exhaled softly:
"In that case, then let's follow the old man's suggestion, and the six battalions of ordnance will be delivered to you on the summer solstice next year."
"Wait a minute, I didn't say I didn't have the money to pay for the ordnance."
“.” Hua Hong.
Xu Yuan smiled lightly:
"Old man Hua, you should mobilize the ordnance of these two battalions as soon as possible, and I will be able to settle the money for you within half a year."
It is not difficult for Xu Yuan to make money, it is rare to get such a large amount of silver in a short period of time, but on the first day of the new year, his grandfather revealed the information about the Feng family's relics to him, plus some other secret treasures along the road to arm two battalions of soldiers is more than enough.
Looking at Xu Yuan's fearless appearance, Hua Hong suppressed the impatience in his heart and said quickly:
"If you want to raise armaments, it is still far from enough to only have a tattooed spirit blade, demon horses, chariots, military birds, etc. are all indispensable, and you also need to be equipped with auxiliary weapons such as the sun and the sky."
"I know all this, and the ordnance is purchased according to the regulations of the Fengtian Battalion in the Heilin Army."
"Mukden Camp?"
Hua Hong narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure you can afford it?" ”
"I'm sure." Xu Yuan did not hesitate.
Each battalion in the Heilin Army has its own battalion name, such as trapping, quenching, and first, but the word Fengtian is not a fixed number of a battalion of the Heilin Army, but a military system, in which the proportion of rationed heavy cavalry and military birds far exceeds that of ordinary battalion headquarters, and belongs to the elite of the elite.
Hua Hong frowned and paced back and forth in the spacious hall twice before he looked back and said:
"According to the military system of the Fengtian battalion, it needs to be equipped with three heavy cavalry songs, two crossbowmen songs, and one heavy weapon song, among which the heavy riding one person and two horses, that is, three thousand demon horses and heavy beast armor, one crossbowman with two crossbows, and one hundred spirit arrows."
"Alright, I know all of that."
Xu Yuan interrupted Hua Hong's words and said directly:
"You just have to prepare, and the silver will not be less than you."
"Squeak-"
Hua Hong sat directly back on the wooden chair in front of the tea table, pressed his temples and didn't speak again, but his gaze still swept towards Xu Yuan and Bai Muxi from time to time.
All of a sudden, there was silence in the huge waiting hall.
Hua Hong is considering.
Consider the credibility of Xu Yuan's words.
According to the scale of the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce, the ordnance of the two Fengtian camps can be regarded as a large-scale business, involving almost all types of ordnance.
Because of the war in the north, the ordnance workshop that the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce has accumulated for decades has initially released its production capacity, but even so, the ordnance of the two Fengtian camps needs to occupy one-third of the entire chamber of commerce's ordnance production capacity for half a year.
If Xu Yuan can really deliver the payment on time, everything will be fine, after all, there is still a lot of room for the war in the north to support the war in the north with the current release of ordnance production capacity of the Tianan Chamber of Commerce.
The existing ordnance stockpiles would be able to fill this void without affecting the supply of soldiers on the northern front.
But if Xu Yuan fails to deliver, the capital chain of many small chambers of commerce under the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce will be directly broken, which will lead to a series of bad things, all the way down, even if he can control it, his old bones will not be able to help Xu Yuan cover up, if it causes the dissatisfaction of the high-level with this kid.
Pondering for a long time,
Hua Hong slowly raised his eyes and exhaled softly, and his voice was full of emotion:
"I can promise you this, but there is something that the old man needs to make clear to you first."
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and bowed slightly:
"You say."
Hua Hong gently knocked on the back of the chair, and his face was unprecedentedly serious:
"Although the Cheonan Chamber of Commerce belongs to the Prime Minister's House, many small and medium-sized chambers of commerce under the Cheonan Chamber of Commerce belong to local families.
"Ordnance production is inseparable from them in many ways, we need them to provide raw materials, we need their metallurgical workshops to quench gold and iron, and even need their pattern masters to engrave formations for ordnance.
"So for decades, even if we have a subordinate relationship with them, we will guarantee that we will give them a piece of the pie, and only then will they serve us faithfully."
Speaking of this, Hua Hong paused for a moment and said:
"Do you know this?"
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan suddenly chuckled and asked:
"Are you afraid that my empty gloves white wolf will annoy this group of people?"
Hua Hong stared at him for a few breaths, and his voice was very soft:
"The old man just wants to tell you that in the past few decades, they have actually been trying to unite to form a force that can influence high-level decision-making, and now that the war has started, you don't leave any truth for them, and we can't carry out another large-scale purge on them until it's over.
"If you understand, the old man can arrange your purchase needs today."
