Chapter 69: The First Negotiation
In the early morning of the next day, the scorching winter sun was rising, and the two civil and military officials in the Liao mission, accompanied by two guards, finally lowered their prices and entered the city lightly according to the wishes of the people in the city.
"It's changed, this hell city has changed," from the moment they entered the city gate, the two of them didn't come to the official position of hell city for the first time, and they felt the changes in this city.
The houses are still those houses, the road is still the same as the original road, but the invisible breath is making you really feel his change.
"Yes, it's the breath of life, in the past, Hell City was filled with the breath of death, it was the breath of depression, but now in the air, people's faces are filled with a vibrant and fresh breath."
The two officials, led by the reception staff in the city, walked slowly, while secretly thinking, they didn't know what this breath of death and life meant to the city, but they vaguely realized that this breath of life was definitely not a good thing for them.
The Sentinel led the two distinguished guests into the room, and the hostess served hot tea, and the two were looking up at the different layout of the room, when a young man with an iron mask walked in.
"The two adults have worked hard all the way, please use tea first?" As Fugui'er spoke, she stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation, sat down, and spoke again.
"The contemptible surname is Sun Ming Hailong, and now he is the new city lord of this hell city, it turns out that Lord Yin Yan of this city is killed by me, yes, don't be surprised, just kill it. The reason why I dare to kill the officials of the Qi country is because from now on, my Stone City will not belong to any country, of course, I will not accept death row prisoners from any country, you want my weapons, my cast iron, you need real money to buy, of course, it can be exchanged for cattle and sheep food, I don't know if the two adults can understand my words? ”
Fuguier doesn't want to be ripped off in the negotiation, since everyone is rushing to do business, it is better to get straight to the point and open the skylight to say something bright.
"Dare to ask City Lord Sun, why do you wear a mask and don't show your true face?" Looking at the iron mask on the face of the Sun City Lord in front of them, the two officials of the Liao State had an inexplicable feeling of depression in their hearts, and among the two, General Xiao was more straightforward, and said after a little thought.
"It's ugly and unsightly, the two of you are here to do business, not to go on a blind date to find Fengyue, why do you care about my appearance?" About this iron mask, Fuguier pondered for a long time, since the position of the city lord is elected, it must not be a person to sit down, for the lonely city that survives by trading, it is not conducive to maintaining a stable source of customers for a long time, so this mask is the mask of the city lord, no matter which city lord in the future, when receiving foreign guests to negotiate business, he must wear this face, and this mask is the guarantee of credibility.
"Haha, City Lord Sun knows that this Hell City was built by combining the power of the Three Kingdoms, and you occupy it so easily, aren't you afraid that the Three Kingdoms will join forces to block you?" This squire, with a sharp tongue, is extremely good at negotiation, whether it is military negotiations or trade negotiations between the two countries, first of all, he can't lose to the opponent in terms of momentum, so saying this can be regarded as putting pressure on the opponent.
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I'll be forced to have no bottom line as a man, I'm afraid I'll be forced to be unscrupulous. Since I can occupy this city, how can I not want the three kingdoms to join forces to block it, but I really forced it to that share, I can only pull out the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor for the way of heaven, and call the heroes and heroes of the world, everyone calls them brothers, drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl, if there is no meat to eat, go to your Liaozhou to grab some, if there is no food, go to Qizhou to attack a few grain stations, and if there is no melon, fruit and vegetables, go to Xizhou to blow up his iron horse, that kind of life is not very bad. ”
Fugui'er finished her words in one breath, and suddenly felt that her words were a bit too much, when she put on this mask, she wanted to play a concise and low-voiced master, and now it seems that playing a master, it is not that it can be said that it can come, at least it takes some time to rehearse.
"Why does City Lord Sun have such a statement, is it the confidence given to you by martial arts, or the confidence given to you by your team, competing with the Three Kingdoms, it is not the Three Cities?" General Xiao listened to Fugui'er's words, his face could not hide the meaning of ridicule, and he secretly felt in his heart that this young man was a little self-conscious.
"Haha, it's my artillery that gives me confidence, not the boast of the city lord, just those soldiers and horses you brought this time, there are 2,000 people, right? Destroying you is just a cup of tea, well, at most it's just a cup of tea, and it can't be any more......"
General Xiao listened to Fugui'er's words, slapped his palm on the table, stood up and shouted angrily, "Don't be quick to speak, and you will know which is stronger and which is weak." ”
"Hit? Let's go, I'll let you out of the city immediately, and when you're ready, let me know, and see if I blow you up in minutes...... In fact, no matter in the past and present life, whether it is rich or noble, Sun Hailong, he is not very old, the biggest characteristic of this young man is that he can't hold back his anger, he originally thought well, and he wanted to negotiate calmly, but after a few words, the two sides were tense, and there were signs of war immediately.
"Oh, Shao'an is not impatient, Shao'an is not impatient, since we have already sat down to talk, why should we be so angry?" When Lord Squire saw the two rough men colliding with each other, he hurriedly spoke out to comfort him.
"Hmph......" Fugui'er and General Xiao each snorted softly, glared at each other, but still sat down again.
"City Lord Sun, since you want to do business, then let's talk about buying and selling today, since it is a business, then you must be your genuine, my real money, why don't City Lord Sun take out your goods and let us inspect the goods?" This squire understands in his heart that today he is coming for the artillery of Hell City, no matter which country it will return to in the future, as long as the artillery is in hand, go back to find a skilled craftsman to crack the method of production, he can make artillery in Hell City, can't I build it with the power of a country?
"Go, bring some of our newly developed weapons and show them to these two buyers," Fuguier confidently gave the order to the herald, and the little soldier quickly left the conference room, and after a while, he led a group of soldiers carrying weapons into the conference room.
"That's all? City Lord Sun, are you humiliating us? Looking at the swords, arrows, bows, crossbows, armor and shields placed on the conference table, General Xiao, who was easy to suppress his anger, lost his temper again.
"What do you mean by humiliating you, I'm really doing business, okay, why don't you look down on me as a bright maker?" In Fugui'er's imagination, this hell city will be called Guangming City in the future, so the new weapons and equipment are engraved with the words "Made by Light".
"What we want to buy is the artillery, as well as the stray bullets with smoke that were thrown from the city two days ago, just this ordinary sword, arrow, armor and shield, will my Da Liao's smelting and casting technology be much worse than yours? What are you not humiliated? "The Liao Kingdom has developed rapidly in recent years, and every year it eats the New Year's coins of the Qi State and the Xiding Kingdom, so the arrogant and proud emotions are immersed in the hearts of every Liao people, so when they see what Fuguier took out, even the introverted Lord Lang couldn't help but be a little moved.
"Can you make my weapon? Go over and talk to them," Fugui'er glanced at the four Liao people on the other side of the table, muttering to Chu Jun, who was negotiating with him.
"Woo ......" Chu Jun grabbed the waist knife on the table, pulled it out with a sigh, and walked around to the Liao State guards with the knife.
The Liao soldiers and guards were not ambiguous, this sword could not be timid in the first place, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, rounded his arm with the handle of the knife in both hands, and slashed it diagonally with a fierce knife.
Chu Jun secretly thought in his heart here, you, a barbarian, don't pay attention to your mother's attention, you can't shout one, two, three, and work together? How can he slash without saying a word, thinking only for a moment, and the movements of his hands dare not be slack.
The scimitar in the hands of the guards of the Liao soldiers slashed obliquely from top to bottom, and Chu Jun slashed obliquely from the bottom to the top, both of them used their strength to eat, and now General Chu, who has cultivated himself since childhood, has spilled blood on the battlefield, and died in the hands of this Liao soldier, and the hatred of the Chu army was sprinkled out with this knife.
The two blades collided, only to hear the crisp sound of "......", and when I looked closely, the scimitar in the hands of the Liao soldiers was cut off alive, and now the treasure knife has become a residual knife.
"How could this be?" The two negotiators of the Liao State could not believe their eyes at this time. After sitting stupidly for a moment, General Xiao suddenly stood up and snatched the steel knife from Chu Jun's hand. Gently touched, looked carefully, and gently tapped with his fingers, with the crisp and pleasant sound of the knife, this military general who had been in the army for half his life and had three grades of official residence finally showed a look of admiration on his face.
"Good knife, good knife, dare to ask City Lord Sun, can the smelting and casting technology of this treasure knife be sold to me in Da Liao? Money, land, women, Sun City Lord can open his mouth, that is, in exchange for the city, we can also discuss...... "The officials of the Liao State are actually coming with artillery today, but the artillery has not been seen, the power is not known, how to operate it is unknown, and whether it can be closely matched with the combat mode of the Liao army is not known, but the knife in front of him is the basic weapon that every soldier and general is using, if the soldiers of the Great Liao have such a treasure knife in their hands, it is like a tiger with wings invincible."
"Haha, you are spying on my core technology, I sold this technology to you Liaoguo, and in the future, what will I eat and drink for the people in the city? You have already seen this waist knife, twenty taels of silver, not much inventory, if you want to place an order quickly, if you don't want me, you will put it away to be sold to Qi Xidingguo. ”
As Fugui'er spoke, he gave Chu Jun a look, and Chu Jun hurriedly began to clean up the waist knife on the table.
"Wait, you can talk about it, you can talk about it......" The civil official squire didn't know whether this weapon was good or not, but he knew that this knife was more than twenty times more expensive than before, but the military general Xiao knew the superiority of this weapon.
"City Lord Sun, is there any negotiation on the price of this knife?" When Lord Shirou saw that the general was finally seated, he stabilized his mind and spoke again.
"Damn, you think this is to buy cabbage and radish and bargain, to you simply reveal a loss, as the saying goes, ten catties of wool iron, half a catty of steel, the steel edge of this knife is good, it is more sharp. As far as the construction technology is concerned, forging, molding, quenching, tempering, normalizing, annealing, shovel filing, hot forging, cold forging and grinding, inlay/carving, polishing and other cumbersome processes, you say it is worth the price, the key is quenching, the last step of the blade quenching, once not quenched, the knife will be scrapped......"
What Fuguier said is just the most basic operation in the process of sword building, what really improves this steel mouth, one is the smelting technology of the blast furnace fire, which greatly refines the impurities in the iron, and then the repeated folding and forging technology is to remove the impurities in the iron again, and the last step of the mud sealing edge quenching technology can not only maintain the sharpness of the blade, but also maintain the overall hardness of the entire blade.
