Considering that Li Changfeng did not suffer any losses, there is no need to hold on to this matter and completely turn the face of the Holy See, which is not in the interests of the country.

Therefore, all the civil and military officials chose to remain silent and set their eyes on Li Changfeng.

In the end, how to deal with the Holy See depends on Li Changfeng's attitude.

Emperor Qianwu also looked at Li Changfeng: "Changfeng, what do you say about this?" ”

Lawrence, along with the other messengers, looked them up and down.

Li Changfeng didn't want to continue to entangle with the Holy See, so he smiled slightly: "Since this envoy has said so, the minister will believe his words, and the matter will be stopped." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lawrence looked at Jessica.

After hearing the translated content, Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Highness the Nine Emperors!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Emperor Qianwu again.

"Honorable Emperor Daqian, we want to buy the gunpowder formula of Daqian, the technology of muskets, artillery and hot air balloons, His Majesty the Pope said, we are willing to pay any price for this, and ask Your Majesty for permission!"

After speaking, he bowed deeply again.

Emperor Qianwu's face suddenly became gloomy.

That's too much appetite!

Even if it is a heavy amount of money to buy a finished product, he may not be willing, and now the other party is directly asking for technology, it is a fool's dream!

How did he know that since the cardinal archbishop and the chief inquisitor of the Inquisition were lost one after another, the prestige of the Holy See has suffered a huge blow in the Western world, and its sacred status has been shaken.

The Pope desperately needs these terrible weapons to stabilize his dominance, which is why he grovels so much.

Not only him, but other envoys also came to Daqian with the same purpose.

Emperor Qianwu was about to open his mouth to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again and looked at Li Changfeng.

"Changfeng, what do you think?"

Swish!

Everyone turned their attention to Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng looked indifferent, and said with a slight smile: "Daqian is an open and tolerant country, as long as you can afford the price, there is nothing that cannot be sold." ”

Emperor Qianwu's face suddenly sank, and the ministers of the Chinese martial arts also looked incredulous.

They didn't expect that Li Changfeng really agreed to sell it.

Lawrence and the other emissaries of the empire were a little jubilant, and even began to imagine a bright future.

Emperor Qianwu still held back and did not speak.

He chose to believe that Li Changfeng would not really sell the technology as easily as he said in words.

Sure enough, after the envoys took a few excited breaths, Li Changfeng spoke again.

"But ......"

After saying two words, Li Changfeng stopped.

When everyone's attention was on him, he smiled and continued: "However, technical output is not an easy thing, you need to learn from scratch, do you have talents in this area?" Can you read the technical information? For example, if you make a car, do you think you can learn it just by looking at it? You're thinking too simply. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lawrence and the messengers fell into deep thought.

When Benjamin returned to the Western world in three ironclad warships, they were shocked and immediately sent their best craftsmen aboard to observe and learn, hoping that they could build such a warship themselves.

But soon they were desperate to find out that they couldn't build it at all.

The hull structure is so simple that experienced shipbuilders can follow it when they visit it.

But.

They couldn't build the steel needed for the hull frame.

Corrosion-resistant steel coatings and paints for hull shells, they did not have, materials and technologies for house repair on wooden ships, were simply useless on ironclad warships.

And then there's the steam engine, which is at its core.

The complexity of its structure, the precision of the parts, and the number of parts, do not need to be disassembled, just counting from the outside, it makes all craftsmen's scalps numb.

At that time, some craftsmen said that even if the steam engine was dismantled, they would not be able to build it in a while and a half, except that there was no steel with sufficient strength, and the forging processing technology was beyond their reach.

As for more sophisticated motorcycles and cars, that's not to mention.

The only thing they think is relatively simple and can be imitated in a short period of time is the bicycle.

After pondering for a moment, Lawrence asked again, "The gunpowder recipe shouldn't be that difficult, right?" I think the structure of the musket is more complicated, but the artillery does not look difficult, Your Highness, you can sell these to us first. ”

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "That's right, the artillery is indeed not difficult, the musket is only a little more complicated, the difficulty is the steel required for manufacturing, without steel smelting technology, you can't make it." ”

Lawrence nodded and said, "Then you can sell us the steel smelting technology, by the way, and the gunpowder formula." ”

Because of his desire for these technologies, Lawrence's tone and expression were a little out of shape for a while, and he had a little bit of arrogance in the Western world.

Li Changfeng was not used to him, the smile on his face slowly retracted, and he said coldly: "Why don't you move the scientific research institute directly to your Holy See, what do you want to make for you." ”

Lawrence knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I was too greedy!" ”

Li Changfeng said indifferently: "Remember, this is a big cadre, not the Western world that you are used to being high, you need to keep speaking in a measured manner, otherwise this prince will expel you." ”

Lawrence bowed even lower: "Yes, Your Highness! Please forgive my sins, Your Highness! ”

Speaking of this, Li Changfeng didn't bother to continue to patiently guide the explanation, and directly threw out the conditions.

"If you want to get these technologies, no problem, the prerequisite must be a country that is friendly with the big cadres to be eligible, I think everyone can understand this, who will help the enemy develop? As for which countries are considered friendly countries, this should be judged by future exchanges. ”

The messengers nodded in agreement.

Li Changfeng looked at Lawrence: "In view of the friction between the Holy See and this prince before, you are currently on the unfriendly list, and you are only eligible to purchase technology transfer, and the Germanic Empire, which has several economic and trade contacts with this prince, has the right of first refusal." ”

Lawrence's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and the envoys of the other empires were excited, especially the envoys of the Germanic Empire, whose faces turned red with excitement.

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu subconsciously glanced at Feng Quji.

They are well versed in political skills and understand Li Changfeng's sinister intentions.

This will create a gap between the major empires of the Western world and the Holy See.

As long as they are eager for the advanced technology of the Great Cadres, they will continue to be suspicious of each other, and they will fight openly and secretly in support of the Holy See and those ambitious empires.

Sooner or later, the power of the Holy See will fall apart.

Even if the Pope crushes it strongly, it is still out of tune.
