Even if Wang Qing and Du Yan only took one sip every time someone toasted, they couldn't stand the large number of people in the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, and after half an hour, the two of them were a little overwhelmed......

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the two sides officially launched negotiations in the Zhuangyuan Building. At the negotiation table, Zhao Chongyang spoke first: "The two sides will first take out the boundaries drawn by each of them, take a look, and the places that are not disputed will be directly determined, and the disputed places will be agreed on city by city." I believe that everyone is willing to sit together for the purpose of solving problems and peaceful coexistence, and will not care too much about the gains and losses of one city and one place. So, sometimes, both sides have to make appropriate concessions. ”

Wang Qing nodded yes. After more than four hours of verbal warfare, the following consensus was finally reached:

The first is the business community of the two sides in the Huaixi region, bounded by Nanyang, Lushan, Ruzhou, Dengzhou, and Xingyang, and below Nanyang, bounded by Xinye County, Xiangyang Fu, Nanzhang, Anyuan, Xiaoyang and other places. To the west of this line, Wang Qing's Huaixi Zongzhai sent people to operate, and on the line and east of the line, the trade of various places is responsible for Wantong Commercial Bank or designated agents.

Second, if the two sides cross the line, they can only purchase the necessary materials and cannot sell any goods.

Third, when the two sides purchase materials within each other's territory, they will give priority to meeting them under the same conditions, especially the materials in short supply and the best-selling materials.

Fourth, when the two sides purchase materials from the other party, the other party has the obligation to ensure the safety and security of its personnel and materials.

With no objection from both sides, Wang Qing and Shi Bao signed and pressed their fingerprints. The treaty shall be made in duplicate, one for each party. After the negotiations, everyone was happy.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Qing set up a banquet in the Zhuangyuan Building and invited Zhao Chongyang and others. In addition to a few people on the first day, there was also Yuan Lang, the iron-armed bear, who participated in the banquet. The day after the negotiation, Wang Qingyou returned to Funiu Mountain in advance, leaving Du Bai to purchase materials from the Wantong Chamber of Commerce.

On this afternoon, Zhao Chongyang, Shi Bao, and Yuan Lang quietly asked Du Bai to meet. As soon as Yuan Lang saw Du Yan, he affectionately said: "Brother Du, it's the junior brother, I mentioned that you are a hero in front of Zhao Gongzi and Brother Shi, everyone thinks that you follow Wang Qing, it is like a pearl cast into the dark, and in the end there is no way out." It is better to vote for the Lord at the right time. So who is the master? In today's Great Song Dynasty, it is not Zhao Gongzi Mo said. In addition, I want to tell you now why I lost the bet with Zhao Gongzi, and I lost convincingly. Next, Yuan Lang gave a detailed introduction to the bet that day, and showed Du Yan the three wooden shields that day. Du took the wooden shield and saw that these wooden shields were made of hard wooden inch board materials, and it was not easy to smash through with stones, but two hundred steps away, they were actually pierced by the musket that Yuan Lang said, if it hit a person, even the gods would not be spared. Could it be that the musket they spoke of was really that powerful? Du fell into deep thought for a moment.

Zhao Chongyang saw Du Yan bowing his head and was silent, knowing that he didn't fully want to believe this matter. Then he said to Du Yan: "I just built a temporary shooting range outside the city two days ago, you might as well follow us to the outside of the city to take a closer look at the power of the musket to know that what Brother Yuan said is true." ”

Several people drove to a manor three miles away from the south gate of Nanyang City, this manor covers an area of dozens of acres, a wealthy family surnamed Ying in Nanyang in order to obtain the monopoly of Wantong Commercial Bank in Xinye, the manor and more than 200 acres of barren beach behind the manor were discounted by 20,000 yuan to Yue Chongyang, Zhao Chongyang is not interested in this manor, but values more than 200 acres of barren beach, which is convenient for re-planning and utilization. Therefore, its practical price is quite large, in order to better connect with these local forces, Zhao Chongyang asked Shi Bao to add an extra county seat to the Ying family.

Now, the base camp of Zhao Chongyang and Wantong Commercial Bank is here. Zhao Chongyang asked Shi Bao to set up the headquarters of the Nanyang Branch of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce here, which will integrate material distribution, commerce, catering and entertainment in the future, just like the wharves and trade cities in Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Xinyang and other places. There are restaurants for travelers from the south to the north to stay and eat, and there are teahouses for listening to storytelling, playing cards, and playing chess. There is a free market for the trading of goods, shops and supporting warehouses for the retail and wholesale of goods, a place where snacks and fast food are concentrated, and a residential area where staff and their families live. There is also the largest high-level liquor workshop and perfume workshop in Huaixi. After the repair of this place, it was collectively called Wantong Trade City. In short, this will be an independent small town with Wanshang as the core in the future, and as long as it is the materials of Wantong Commercial Bank, you can buy them here.

The temporary shooting range was located at the manor's racecourse, which is now the training ground of the Ziwantong Chamber of Commerce. After they arrived, Pang Wanchun arranged for people to prepare guns and ammunition and brought a team of musketeers who were training to perform.

The first group, five musketeers, shot a wooden shield 250 steps away, after the wooden shield was ready, Shi Bao, Zhao Chongyang, Du Bai, Yuan Lang four people together to check the authenticity of the wooden shield, Du Bai personally picked up two wooden shields, knocked with his hands, it was indeed made of hard wood. The first group test-fired three conical rounds each. Of the 5 people, one hit three shots, one hit two shots, and three people hit one shot. In the second group, five people shoot a wooden shield target 150 paces away, and each performs three bullets. As a result, two people were hit three times, two people were hit by two shots, and one person was hit by one shot. The third group shot at the wooden target from 80 paces away, with three shots per person, three of all of them hit, and two of them hit two shots.

Zhao Chongyang asked Du Yan to personally test shoot the wooden shield eighty steps away. Du Bai gladly accepted, and under the guidance of Pang Wanchun, he personally tested three shots and hit one. The wooden shield he had struck was also pierced.

Zhao Chongyang said: "Most archers need the enemy to reach within 70, and the hit rate only reaches half. Our well-trained soldiers can shoot the enemy two hundred paces away. At that time, whether it is Wang Qing, Tian Hu or Jin Ren, they will not be the enemies of my Wantong Chamber of Commerce, and if they want to snatch the Central Plains, they are not qualified. To put it mildly: Who will calm down the troubled times in the future? Who else is me? ”

Pang Wanchun took over the conversation and said: "The reason why you follow Wang Qingbang with all your heart is that I believe that with the support and help of the Jin people, he can steadily seize a piece of territory in the troubled times in the future, and then call the king and the emperor, you are the founding hero, and you are rich and noble." Because you all know that the combat power of the cavalry of the Liao State is unmatched by the Central Plains army. When the Jin cavalry encounters the Liao cavalry, they can often win more with less, and the Liao cavalry who kill the strong has no power to fight back, so the Central Plains army has no chance of winning in the face of the Jin people's iron cavalry. We also admit that the cavalry of the Jin State is indeed an invincible existence now. Therefore, Wang Qing and you are convinced that with the support of the invincible cavalry of the Jin State, it is a matter of nine out of ten to seize the Great Song Dynasty. But now with the presence of my brother-in-law, in a few years, the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom will be nothing. Because, ten years later, if our musketeers are trained, the world will be my brother-in-law's, and no one can compete with them, not good for Jin Wushu, not good for Wanyan Xiyin, not for Sticky Han, Wanyan Gao, Wu Qimai and even Wanyan for a bone fight. And Tian Hu, Wang Qing and the like only have the share of being killed. Because we have something more powerful than muskets, and that is artillery, which can strike the enemy at a distance of five hundred or even a thousand paces. ”

Pang Wanchun's words made Du Yan nod again and again. Now, he was really impressed by Zhao Chongyang's musket, and when he heard that there was a more powerful artillery than the musket, he was even more shocked. Zhao Chongyang struck while the iron was hot: "Brother Du is a smart person, you know very well what the reason we are looking for you today." I know that Wang Qing treats you well, and you can't bear to abandon him. But Wang Qing is greedy and lustful, and he is not a person who has achieved great things. And he shouldn't have taken the benefits of the Jin people, and colluded with the Jin people to seek the splendid country of my Central Plains. Also, you all admit that the Jin people are invincible, if Wang Qing and Tian Hu help the Jin people defeat the Great Song Dynasty, with the insatiable nature of the Jin people and their wolf-like ambitions, will Tian Hu and Wang Qing be allowed to get a piece of the pie? Therefore, these two people are destined to be wiped out in the end, and all your efforts are ultimately just to make a wedding dress for the Jin people to enter the original plain. I am telling you this now, not to ask you to defect to me now, but to ask you to be in Cao Ying, have the Han family in your heart, and maintain the Han family. His subordinates must master some of their henchmen, and when they want to fight back, they will deal a fatal blow to Wang Qing and Jinren. You also know that Li Zhu is a spy of the Jin people, he is good at swordsmanship, his skills are high, and he used the money given by the Jin people to bribe a group of cronies and establish his own intelligence system.
