was already slapped by Liu Qi, and one side of Ji Bo's face was already red and swollen.

Now, after being slapped by Ji Kang again, in an instant, the other half of his face also turned red, just forming a symmetry.

"Uncle! You! ”

Ji Kang's attitude changed quickly, and he looked at his nephew coldly.

"Either you apologize to the prince immediately, or you stay here and let the prince take you away!"

Ji Bo couldn't figure out what was wrong with his uncle, and suddenly began to speak to Liu Qi.

But he had no choice, if Ji Kang left, no one would be able to save him, so he could only lower his head and face Liu Qi stupidly.

"Yes... I'm sorry, His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Although Ji Bo said it very reluctantly, Liu Qi didn't care, he could say this, it was enough.

"General Ji, this king is in this Pingcheng, waiting for your good news."

"Okay, don't worry, the prince can rest assured, this idea of yours, this general will definitely convey it to our emperor, and try his best to make this happen."

"As for this foundry, I will have someone prepare it, and tomorrow you will send someone to fetch it."

"Thank you, General!"

In this way, Liu Qi took a group of subordinates and swaggered out of the foundry in South Korea.

As soon as they returned to their residence, Zhao Wenhui and Qin Wei couldn't help but ask the prince.

"Your Highness, what did you say to that Ji Kang, how did you change as if you were a person in a blink of an eye?"

Liu Qi chuckled.

"That's because the king made a deal with him?"

"Deal?"

Qin and Zhao glanced at each other, their eyes full of doubts.

"Do you still remember that the plan of this king's attack on the Xiongnu this time was to give the land of Bayanna to the female empire, right?"

The two nodded.

Recalling, I remember that what I said at the beginning was that on the day of Daqing's dispatch of troops, after defeating the Xiongnu, the female empire could take the opportunity to march from the east to the Xiongnu Garusin Hetao.

Daqing will contain and help the Female Empire seize this important place.

At the same time, the Daqing troops will make a detour to take the Bayana tribe of the Xiongnu, take the benefits, and then give them to the female empire.

Of course, this is not in the covenant negotiated with the female empire.

As for whether to send it or not, it is all in the prince's thoughts.

"In fact, on the way to this time, this king has already thought about it, a Garuqin River Loop, given to the female empire, is completely enough for them to be tempted."

"Giving one more Bayanna, although it can distract the energy of the female empire and threaten South Korea, it is also equivalent to standing on the opposite side of South Korea."

"Lu Liang's idea is right, since it is cooperation, let's cooperate more thoroughly, so that the female empire can see the sincerity of our desire for an alliance."

However, according to the king's thoughts, this favor is too much, and it may not be a good thing. As the saying goes, cups of rice raise grace, and fighting rice breeds hatred. I gave too much, I'm afraid it will make the female empire feel that I Daqing is very dependent on her. ”

When she heard this, Zhao Wenhui was already stunned.

"So, His Highness is planning to give the place of Bayana to South Korea, right?"

Liu Qi smiled and nodded.

"Exactly!"

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket, this one is broken, there's another one."

"Moreover, this king not only wants to give Bayanna to Korea, but also to Korea with all the cattle and sheep there, and all other goods."

Qin Wei was stunned.

You must know that the products of cattle and sheep are still very precious to Daqing. Because there are very few large pastures, basically a large part of them rely on imports from other countries or the Xiongnu.

Bayanna is a prosperous living area of the Xiongnu, not to mention, how can there still be tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

Giving it to South Korea like this really made Qin Wei a little incomprehensible.

"Your Highness, the last general will be able to understand that you sent Bayana to Korea, firstly, for mutual alliance, and secondly, to contain the female empire."

"Bayana and the Garuqin Loop are not particularly far apart, and this will inevitably lead to many disputes between the two countries."

"In this way, it would be good to give away the land, why should you give away those cattle and sheep and other belongings to South Korea? The benefits of this are probably too great. ”

looked at Qin Wei with a somewhat anxious look. Liu Qi chuckled.

"General Qin, you have been with this king for so long, when have you met, and this king has made a deal that loses money?"

"Isn't the foundry the benefit that this king has won for?"

Zhao Wenhui knew that Liu Qi had said before that he wanted to use it to cast the weapons he wanted.

But the problem is that it costs money to cast weapons, and it may not be possible to say whether there is the technology Liu Qi wants.

In this way, taking a place that does not generate benefits and exchanging tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, Zhao Wenhui really feels that it is not cost-effective.

Zhao Wenhui couldn't help it, so she said the doubts in her heart.

After hearing this, Qin Wei looked at the prince with a slight frown.

"Your Highness, did Ji Kang promise you to give us the foundry for Daqing?"

"No, it's just a loan."

Hearing what Liu Qi said, the two were stunned. Rent? In other words, it still has to be returned to South Korea when it expires.

Wouldn't that be even more cost-effective?

"What's the panic? Although it is a lease, there is a king who has not agreed on a lease period with him, and it is also a lease for one year and a rent for two years. ”

"Even if it is South Korea, if you want to lease it, then set it for eight years and ten years, or it won't be that long, South Korea will become my Daqing land, how can you say that the lease period."

Looking at the prince's confident appearance, Qin Wei couldn't help but think to himself, the prince's tone is too big, right?

In eight years and ten years, South Korea will be destroyed?

Although South Korea is not big, it also has a combat power that cannot be underestimated, and even if General Leji is still here, he may not be able to say so.

At this time, Zhao Wenhui suddenly spoke again.

"Your Highness, even if this place can be attributed to our Daqing forever, but if you can't make it, the weapon you want, isn't it just in vain, blind tens of thousands of cattle and sheep?"

"Even if we don't make weapons, like South Korea, they are used to produce utensils, so when will we be able to earn back."

Zhao Wenhui still said it tactfully.

Even if it is converted into the production of utensils, it will only become more complicated.

If you want to sell the utensils, you must find a good sales channel, and you must be able to have someone to manage it, be responsible for transportation, sales, and so on.

Together, these can be said to be quite complex.

But Liu Qi didn't care.

"It doesn't matter, even if you can't make the weapon that the king wants, this land will be of great use, in short, it won't lose money."

"If you can make the weapon that this king wants, hum, it is far more precious than the tens of thousands of cattle and sheep."

As soon as the words fell, there was movement outside the door.

"Your Highness, the county guard brought a man, saying that he is the foreman of the Korean foundry."
