The minds of the delegates of the nations were mixed.

But he couldn't allow the kneeling Dongying envoy to think too much.

With a flattering smile, he agreed to Li Shimin's terms.

The representatives of the other countries looked at it, spitting in their hearts and expressing great contempt.

"Hahaha Dongying envoy is really happy, I salute you!"

Li Shimin laughed happily.

Raise your glass and look at the kneeling emissary.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The envoy of Dongying took advantage of the situation and returned to his position to raise a glass to greet him.

After drinking a glass, the Dongying envoy's face was a little calmer, and he sat down slowly, not caring at all about the eyes of the people around him.

"Guys, go on."

Li Shimin spoke again.

The smile is noticeably much bigger than it was at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, I'm here this time for the fire."

"May I ask if your country's firecrackers are sold, and our Khan is willing to buy them at a high price."

Xue Yantuo's envoy stood up and said.

"That's what the Western Turks mean!"

"That's what Goguryeo means!"

"That's what Silla (Baekje) means!"

The rest of the country got up and said what they really thought.

They all came because of the firecracker, and they all wondered if there was a chance to buy the firecracker?

Showing weakness to Datang is secondary.

"They all want firecrackers."

Li Shimin smiled and said indifferently.

Sure enough, they all came with firecrackers.

But how can they be sold to them with such great lethality?

"Please fulfill His Majesty the Heavenly Khan!"

The representatives of the various countries saluted one after another, and they were very sincere.

"I already know what you mean."

"But the fire bolt is very lethal, I can't sell it to you at will, lest you fight each other, let me and my servants discuss and discuss."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

It is unwilling to sell, but there is no need to say no to it.

Now it is uncertain whether the five surnames and Qiwang already have those thirty firearms.

If they have, it will be a matter of time before the countries have it, and maybe they should earn that money.

But this matter still has to be discussed with Fang Yuan to see if Fang Yuan wants to sell some defective products to the countries.

"Thank God Khan, Your Majesty."

The delegates of various countries thanked Li Shimin one after another.

But he complained in his heart and scolded Li Shimin for being shameless.

Obviously, because of the huge lethality, he didn't want to sell it to them against Datang, but he said that it was to prevent them from fighting each other.

War itself is death, does it need to be said so hypocritically?

The banquet continued.

The representatives of the countries once again expressed their national intentions.

In the ensuing banquet, everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very strong, and it did not end until the evening.

After the feast, the delegates were sent out of the palace and returned to the Honglu Temple to greet them.

As for Fang Yuan and the others, they were left behind to have a simple meeting.

"Do you think it's worth selling?"

Li Shimin drank a cup of sobering soup and asked indifferently.

Eldest Sun Wuji and the others did not speak, but looked at Fang Yuan on the side.

As we all know, the fire gun has always been under Fang Yuan's control, and Fang Yuan knows the fire gun best.

Whether it can be sold or not, whether it can be sold or not, Fang Yuan has the final say, so there is no need to volunteer and save shame.

"It's better not to sell!"

"If I have to sell them, I'll pick some obsolete products for them!"

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

The firecrackers must have flowed out.

There are so many people in the four-way army, and there are many people from families.

After the war, many people died, and many guns were lost.

Although Fang Yuan secretly meant that people could die, the fire gun must be recovered.

But despite this, thousands of muskets were lost in this four-way battle.

Therefore, the fire gun is no longer unique to the research institute, and it will soon be available outside.

But it will take them a year or two to really master the technology of firearms, and they will not be able to sell them to foreigners in a short time.

"In that case, I think it's better to sell them some obsolete products and make a lot of money for them."

Li Shimin said after a moment of silence.

Now it is difficult for the imperial court to be short of money, very short of money.

At this time, the nations wanted firearms, so they sold them to them.

Anyway, it is an obsolete product, and it is very different from Datang's, and it is not an opponent at all.

After all, even if Datang doesn't sell it, within a year or two, there will be others to sell to them.

This money is not earned in vain.

"I think I should sell it!"

Fang Xuanling said solemnly.

It is already known about the possible loss of firecrackers.

This kind of thing will definitely not be carried by himself, so as not to be responsible for it in the future.

"The same is true of ministers."

The eldest grandson Wuji and others expressed their opinions one after another.

Since there will be firecrackers to be studied by others in the near future.

At this time, if you can make a lot of money from the nations, it is better to make this one.

"Fang Yuan."

Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan and said.

On the matter of the firecracker, Li Shimin respected Fang Yuan's opinion very much.

"There are not many eliminated products, maybe less than 10,000."

"When Your Majesty wants to sell to them, a maximum of two thousand per country will be sold."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

Obsolete items of the Torch are destroyed every once in a while.

After destroying the furnace, the furnace is rebuilt, and the raw materials are reused to make new firecrackers.

"I understand."

"Fang Xiang, eldest grandson, let the two of you handle this matter."

"Remember, don't worry, it's them, not us."

Li Shimin nodded, looked at Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a smile.

"Obey the order!"

Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, the two of them, should be respectful.

Then, after the meeting, everyone left the palace and returned to their homes.

After Fang Yuan returned, it was already dark, and Du Miaoyan and the others had already finished eating.

As soon as he sat down and told Du Miaoyan about what happened in the palace, the guards came in to report that the Goguryeo envoy visited.

"Nope!"

Fang Yuan refused without even thinking about it.

An envoy of a country asks for a meeting late at night, and is known about it?

So it's best not to see.

"They said they had an urgent matter to see, so please be sure to see them."

"I see that they are dressed secretly, and if it weren't for their self-destructive identity, I wouldn't have known that they were Goguryeo people."

The gatekeeper said truthfully.

"No, let them go back."

"If you receive the benefits from others, you will give them back."

Fang Yuan was unmoved, he wouldn't see them.

Seeing this, the guard at the gate smiled and left obediently.

But soon, he returned.

"Sir, they won't go."

"They said they had to see you, but they forced their way into it if you didn't know it."

The gatekeeper said embarrassedly.

They tried to forcibly drive each other away, but the other party was dead-faced.

With the identity of the other party, the guards and others did not dare to forcibly drive them away.

"Hmph, still forged in?"

Fang Yuan's eyes sank and he sneered.

As an envoy of a country, it is right to give face.

But to forcibly break into the mansion of Minister Tang, this is excessive.

Even if it was to chase them away with a stick, it would make sense.

"Husband, if you don't see you, maybe there's something urgent."

Du Miaoyan suddenly spoke.

"See you then."

Fang Yuan frowned, and said after a moment of silence.

He didn't want to see it, but Du Miaoyan opened his mouth, so let's see it.

As Du Ruhui's daughter, Du Miaoyan's political consciousness will definitely not be lower than herself.

She realized that there might be something urgent, or that there really was.

Soon, the Goguryeo envoy was secretly introduced into the Fang Mansion and arranged in the study.

Soon, Fang Yuan saw the other party.

It was the young man I had seen at the palace during the day.

But this time there was more than one person, there were two young girls wearing hats.

"I've seen Fang Shangshu!"

The young man saluted politely.

The two women behind him also saluted.

"The third prince is polite, please take a seat."

Fang Yuan politely returned the salute and invited the other party to sit down.

The young man has a different identity, he is the third prince of Goguryeo, Gao Tianzhi.

"I'm really sorry to interrupt me late at night."

"But the matter must not be announced to the public, so this is the only way to make a decision."

Gao Tianzhi apologized to Fang Yuan again.

"If the third prince has anything to do, just ask."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

"This is my thousand-year-old ginseng from Goguryeo, He Shou Wu, Angelica, please smile."

"And the two of them, they will stay with the adults in the future and serve the adults."

Gao Tianzhi first showed his sincerity and pointed to the two women behind him and said.

The two women also cooperated, and brought two boxes to open, which were full of some precious medicinal herbs.

I can't see anything on the outside of the big night, but judging from the size, it is indeed vintage.

At least those two ginseng were the largest Fang Yuan had ever seen.

Look at these two girls again, their skin is as white as milk, and their posture is superior.

"The third prince hasn't said anything yet."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Didn't take it, and didn't reject it.

The medicinal materials are all good medicinal materials, and the Fang Mansion has these medicinal materials, but I have never seen such a good one.

If it's a trivial matter, it is in line with your own heart, you can help or can, listen to it first and then decide.

"I want to ask Lord Fang to support me in becoming the next king of Goguryeo!"

Gao Tianzhi said in a deep voice.

His eyes stared at Fang Yuan quietly.

"It's not for me to get involved!"

Fang Yuan frowned, shook his head and said.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be supporting Gao Tianzhi to become the next king of Goguryeo.

This surprised Fang Yuan.

At the same time, understand that this is not your own intervention.

Although Goguryeo was nominally a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the king of Goguryeo would also nominally notify the Tang Dynasty when he took office.

But that was all in name, and the Tang Dynasty had not been able to intervene in the inauguration of the king of Goguryeo.

"It only takes the help of the adults to provide the fire gun support at the critical time."

Gao Tianzhi said in a deep voice.

He looked at Fang Yuan.

The change of dynasty is mainly a matter of strength.

As long as he has Fang Yuan's support, plus support at home, it will not be a problem to defeat the eldest prince and ascend to the throne.

"It's still a firebolt after all, right?"

"To tell you the truth, the imperial court has decided to sell you firearms, but the number may be about two thousand."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

Saying this, the medicinal materials sent by Gao Tianzhi were Fang Yuan's.

It can be regarded as selling intelligence to the other party, regardless of whether the other party receives it or not.

"Decided to sell?!"

"No, how can you sell it?!"

Gao Tianzhi was surprised, and couldn't believe what Fang Yuan said.

"You'll find out in a few days."

Fang Yuan said with a smile undiminished.

"Even so, there are only about two thousand, and it is impossible to hold them in my hands."

"Lord Fang, can you support me to ascend to the throne, if I ascend, Goguryeo will give you ten beauties every year, give you one percent of the financial income every year, and these precious medicinal materials will also be available every year."

Gao Tianzhi said in a deep voice.

Even if Datang decided to sell firecrackers, it was not something he came into contact with.

When the time comes, it will be used by the king, then to the eldest prince, then to the second prince, and the third prince himself estimates nothing.

In this way, Fang Yuan's support is even more needed to become the king of Goguryeo.

"So many benefits?"

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, a little incredulous.

Goguryeo is a small country, but compared to Dongying Xue Yantuo, it is a big country.

One percent of a country's fiscal revenue is a large amount, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions.

The main thing is that there is a lot every year, and the business that is earned lying down is indeed a bit exciting, and there are beautiful women and precious medicinal herbs every year.

"Please also ask Lord Fang to do it!"

Gao Tianzhi's eyes also lit up, thinking that Fang Yuan would agree.

"It's not impossible to promise you, but I have conditions."

Fang Yuan said after pondering for a while.

"Please."

Gao Tianzhi slowly regained his composure and said in a deep voice.

"First, I want to have a place in Goguryeo, a county like that, and the control is completely mine."

"Second, after you take the position, you must fully implement paper money, and paper money must be printed and distributed by Huaxia Bank."

"3. No third person shall know about the matter between us."

Fang Yuan put forward three conditions.

In fact, it only said two conditions.

The third condition is not a condition at all.

"No problem!"

Gao Tianzhi gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice.

The first and second conditions are very mean, not much different from betrayal.

But if you can't be the king, then everything in Goguryeo has nothing to do with you.

Not only is it irrelevant, but he may suffer a big blow, and he will never be prosperous or rich from now on.

"In that case, then you should go back first."

"I'll come back to you after I've written the detailed treaty."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Whether this matter is a matter of great importance, Fang Yuan has to consider it carefully.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Gao Tianzhi nodded heavily.

After putting on his hat, he left the study and was escorted out of the Fang Mansion by the security guard.

The two girls he brought were left behind and disposed of by Fang Yuan, whether they lived or died.

"Fang, Lord Fang, are you going to kill us?"

Suddenly, one of the two girls turned pale.

The other girl was also pale, and her eyes were already ruddy.

They had just heard Fang Yuan say that no third person could know, so they guessed their fate.

"You're smart, do you have any last words?"

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled evilly.

"My lord, we don't want to die, we'll keep our mouths shut."

The girl who spoke immediately knelt down and choked up.

The other girl did the same, begging for mercy again and again.

"Only the dead can really keep their mouths shut."

Fang Yuan's smile deepened and said coldly.

"Big, adult, I, I can do acupuncture, I can massage, I am useful."

"If you don't kill me, I can't do it, I can swear not to leave the Fang Mansion for the rest of my life!"

The girl said tremblingly.

He looked at Fang Yuan pitifully, full of pleading.

The houses of the ancient magnates were very large, and there were many who did not go out in their lives.

"What's your name?"

Fang Yuan asked curiously.

I feel that this girl is surprisingly calm and intelligent.

"Little woman Xu Changjin, please spare the little girl's life, the little woman must be grateful to Dade for serving you."

Xu Changjin pleaded with red eyes.

Xu Changjin?

Fang Yuan blinked, thinking of a historical figure.

It's just that Xu Changjin doesn't seem to appear in this era.
