Chapter 1123: I'm here to do business
The imperial court killed Cui Ding last year, and it has already lost the support of the Cui family.
Cui Yuanye's second purpose is to touch the bottom of the court.
The strength of Wudu City is definitely not weak, Cui Yuanye knows this.
The Beiying Army now has more than 100,000 troops, plus the Praetorian Guard, more than 200,000 troops, which is quite large.
But what about combat effectiveness?
Before, Tang Jingze personally led his troops to Yuezhou and was defeated.
This shouldn't be the real strength of the Beiying Army, right?
If the imperial court really wants to send troops, Cui Yuanye will definitely oppose it.
Cui Yuanye didn't want to talk too deeply to Su Xuan, although everyone was divided, Su Xuan's status was higher than him.
If Yanzhou sent troops over at this time, Cui Yuanye would not be able to stop it.
"The imperial court has already come to mediate, and the Chitose Lord came here today, it must not be to mediate the grievances between Jizhou and Zezhou, right?" Cui Yuanye said with a smile.
"You're really right, my family just said that he came here for money." Xu Ershou said.
Su Xuan glared at Xu Ershou.
"I'm not wrong, that's what you said on the road, sir, you said that you can take as much silver as you can from Cui Yuanye's pocket." Xu Ersan muttered.
His muttering voice was louder than the sound of ordinary people tearing out their voices.
Cui Yuanye thought to himself, these two people are afraid that they are singing double reeds.
However, it is really possible that Su Xuan came here for money.
If it's all messed up today, Su Xuanqing has his back against Zhu Xuanqing, who is indeed rich.
But Cui Yuanye had been to Yanzhou, and he knew that Zhu Xuanqing had invested almost all of his silver in the construction of Pingyuan City.
So now Zhu Xuanqing almost has no money.
And now that the whole country is in turmoil, even the signboard of Fuyao Tower does not dare to do business outside at will.
If you are targeted by the rogues and bandits, who cares what building you belong to? Let's grab it first.
"Er, let's not talk like that. We're not robbers, how can you say that we took the money out of Mr. Cui's pocket?" Su Xuan smiled faintly.
"Ah, yes, yes, it should be Mr. Cui who voluntarily took out the money and dedicated it to the adult." Xu Ershou said.
"What if they don't want to?" Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Don't want to? My family has opened Chrysostom, who dares not to? I don't want Lao Tzu to rob his mother." Xu Ershou said indignantly.
Cui Yuanye was embarrassed.
This young 9,000-year-old does have something.
Is this beating him?
Are you really here to steal the silver?
However, Su Xuan really had the strength to snatch the silver from him.
But Cui Yuanye definitely didn't want to spend too much, and it didn't matter if he paid hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy a peace.
"Mr. Cui, don't listen to his nonsense, he doesn't understand anything. The purpose of this Chitose visit is to discuss a business with Mr. Cui." Su Xuan said.
"Talking about business? Chitose Lord, what kind of business are you talking about? Cui is not a businessman, are you looking for the wrong person?" Cui Yuanye said with a smile.
Of course, Cui Yuanye is not a businessman, because his money does not need to be earned, but only exploited.
After all, the entire Jizhou is their Cui family's territory.
"No, I don't."
Su Xuan said, took out a firecracker, and put it on the table.
"Does Mr. Choi recognize this?" Su Xuan asked with a smile.
Huo Gong, Cui Yuanye hasn't seen the real thing yet, but he's already seen the portrait.
How could a person with such great powers as Cui Yuanye not know Huogong?
"Chitose-sama, what do you mean by that?" Cui Yuanye asked.
"I've been shy lately, so I'm really here to talk to Mr. Cui about business." Su Xuan said.
"Chitose is trying to sell me the firebolt?" Cui Yuanye asked.
"Yes, but it depends on how much you can pay." Su Xuan said.
Cui Yuanye was horrified.
In Su Xuan's eyes, the firebolt was a very outdated weapon. But in Cui Yuanye's eyes, this is a magic weapon!
With this kind of guy, the combat effectiveness of the army is directly raised by a notch!
Cui Yuanye would never have thought that Su Xuan would actually take out the fire gun and sell it.
"This ...... Cui has never done this kind of business, and he really doesn't know how to negotiate with Chitose Ye." Cui Yuanye said.
"Simple, you give me five million taels, the silver is not enough, you can use food to make up. However, your Mr. Cui is the head of the Qinghe Cui family, so it shouldn't be a problem to pay five million taels of silver." Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Five, five million?"
Cui Yuanye was a little surprised.
He can indeed take out five million, but this is not a small amount of money for him.
"Five million taels of silver, and buy a firecracker?" Cui Yuanye asked.
"Mr. Cui, you have to understand that you are not buying a firearm. If you buy the gun, I can give you the blueprint of the gunpowder and the recipe for the black powder. The most precious thing is not the gunpowder or the gunpowder, but the process of starting something from nothing." Su Xuan said with a smile.
Cui Yuanye gasped.
Su Xuan was right, he didn't have a fire gun at this time.
If you spend five million taels of silver to buy the firecracker, it is equivalent to buying the method of building the firecracker.
Of course, this firearm is not difficult to build, and the structure looks quite simple. There are many craftsmen in Jizhou, and their skills are very good, and it is not a problem to imitate firearms.
The harder part is gunpowder.
If there is no gunpowder, the fire gun is not as good as the burning stick.
But with gunpowder, this firearm is a different matter.
"Mr. Cui, five million taels is not much for you. For five million taels, you'll have the most advanced weapons in the entire Great Yan Dynasty." Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Is there any price to be discussed?" Cui Yuanye asked.
Su Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"This ......"
At this time, Xu Ershou spoke again.
"Hey, Cui Yuanye, I'll give you an idea. If you don't want to spend money, and you want to take the fire, you can calculate my family and keep him, how about it?" Xu Ershou said with a smile.
Cui Yuanye felt that Xu Ershou was looking down on him.
Not to mention whether Cui Yuanye dared to calculate Su Xuan, he couldn't calculate Su Xuan.
Su Xuan dared to come, if he couldn't go back, Yanzhou would send troops over.
"Chitose Lord, I bought this firearm and gunpowder." Cui Yuanye made up his mind.
"Very well, that's right, I brought three hundred firecrackers this time. 10,000 taels of silver each, is Mr. Cui interested in buying it?" Su Xuan said with a smile.
Cui Yuanye squinted slightly.
"Ten thousand, too expensive." Cui Yuanye said.
"As the saying goes, buy late to get a discount, but buy early to enjoy. If you spend an extra sum of money and buy 300 firearms, you will be ready to use in no time. When the time comes, you will be able to fight the Zezhou Wang clan on the battlefield in Jizhou, and you will be caught off guard." Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Ah......h Chitose Lord, you are serious, we have a truce with Zezhou." Cui Yuanye said.
"Yes, you've stopped fighting, but your troops haven't withdrawn. Sooner or later, it is better to fight early than late, and it is better to fight slowly than to fight quickly. Mr. Cui can rest assured, only you and I do this business, and I can ensure that you have no worries in the rear. When the time comes, you can let go of your hands and feet to deal with Zezhou." Su Xuan said with a smile.
