Ice Country?

Qin Shan suddenly thought of the ninth and tenth numbers, and it seemed that the two of them were from the Cold Ice Country.

"How much does our Shengtian Dynasty have with the Cold Ice Country?" Qin Shan asked.

"The Cold Ice Country is a country with a long history, hundreds of years ago it was the overlord of Dongzhou, but it completely declined due to a series of reasons, and in recent years, it has been in the midst of internal strife, and it rarely interacts with the outside world, let alone with our Shengtian Dynasty. The minister briefly introduced.

"We don't have much contact with the Ice Nation, which means there's a good chance they won't provide us with cheap materials. Qin Shan touched his chin and said.

"It's not a possibility, but it's certain, after all, the Ice Nation is going through civil strife, and they don't have time to care about other things, even if they send envoys there, they may not have the heart to discuss this matter. Prime Minister Yue Zhijian spread his hands and said.

"Then is there any other method besides this method?" Qin Shan asked.

"Is it possible to assist Your Majesty with the financial resources of the Dingtian Commercial Bank?" another minister proposed.

Qin Shan shook his head and said, "Although Dingtian Commercial Bank is the richest man in our Shengtian Dynasty, its financial resources have not yet reached this point, even if they go bankrupt, it will only be a drop in the bucket. ”

"Your Majesty, there really is no other way. Yue Zhijian shook his head and said helplessly.

In this regard, Qin Shan also has no good way, although there is a red envelope system, but the red envelope is only random, it is impossible for you to want hundreds of thousands of sets of equipment and he will explode directly.

In other words, there is only one way to expand armaments without emptying the treasury, and that is to get cheap refining materials from the Ice Country.

However, the Ice Kingdom has almost no contact with the Shengtian Dynasty, and the Ice Kingdom is experiencing civil strife, so it is not so easy to get cheap materials from them.

However, it must also be tried, so Qin Shan has so far ordered the envoy to go to the Cold Ice Country to discuss this matter, but unfortunately the envoy did not see the Imperial Family of the Cold Ice Country at all and was blocked by their rebels.

Even if he finally met the Emperor of the Ice Kingdom, the Emperor said that he would wait until the civil strife was over to discuss the matter.

In this regard, Qin Shan was very helpless.

If the military strength of the Shengtian Dynasty is not improved as soon as possible, once the surrounding countries have bad intentions, it will be a very painful consequence, especially since there is also a wave of forces that make Qin Shan jealous, that is, the prosperous empire behind the black-robed envoy.

Therefore, Qin Shan had to get a large number of cheap refining materials from the Cold Ice Country.

However, the envoy has already been sent and there is still nothing to be done, Qin Shan is very helpless.

The depressed Qin Shan had no choice but to find Tang Jie, the little brother, to drink together to mediate his mood.

At this time, Qin Shan pretended to be an ordinary person and sat in the restaurant with Tang Jie chatting and drinking.

"Boss, you've been very busy all this time, why do you have time to ask me for a drink today?" Tang Jie asked as he poured a full glass of wine for Qin Shan.

"When you encounter some troubles, drink some wine to relieve your boredom. Qin Shan said helplessly.

"It turns out that the boss still has troublesome problems. Tang Jie said in surprise.

"I'm not a god, so how can I not have troubles. Qin Shan pouted and said.

"Boss, why don't you tell my little brother what is bothering? Maybe my little brother still has ideas, and even if he doesn't have ideas, he can be a qualified listener. Tang Jie said with a smile.

"During this time, I want to expand the country's armaments, but if I expand, it will inevitably cause the treasury to be empty, in order to reduce the burden, I am going to get a large number of raw materials for refining weapons from the Cold Ice Country, the raw materials of their country are cheap, but the Cold Ice Country is now in civil strife, and I don't have the energy to talk about this matter now. ”

"The boss is talking about the cold ice country in the north of Dongzhou?"

"Otherwise, what other country do you think there is in the Ice Country?"

Tang Jie suddenly laughed, patted the table and said, "Boss, this is too coincidental, it just so happens that our Dingtian Commercial Bank opened up the market of the Cold Ice Country not long ago, and has some business dealings with the royal family of the Cold Ice Country. ”

"Really?" Qin Shan looked at Tang Jie in surprise.

"Yes, the business of the Cold Ice Country was negotiated by my third uncle with a lot of energy. Tang Jie nodded in response.

"Your third uncle is really powerful, he has just left the Shengshi Empire and established a business in the Cold Ice Country, which means that the Royal Family of the Cold Ice Country is willing to contact your Dingtian Commercial Bank. Qin Shan was a little surprised by this.

"Well, at least they're willing to do business with us. ”

"That's very good, the Shengtian Dynasty has very little contact with the Cold Ice Country, and the Cold Ice Country is not willing to negotiate with the envoys I sent, but they are willing to do business with your Dingtian Firm, it seems that this time I need to use your Dingtian Firm's help." Qin Shan said with a smile.

"It's absolutely no problem to help, as long as we can do it, absolutely go all out to help the boss. Tang Jie patted his chest and promised.

"I need a large number of refining materials from the Cold Ice Country, so this time I want to use your Dingtian Commercial Bank to contact the Imperial Family of the Cold Ice Country, and I will personally go to the Cold Ice Country to discuss this matter!" Qin Shan said with a serious face.

"Boss, now that you are the emperor, how can you go in person, what if you encounter danger?" Tang Jie asked in surprise.

"The stakes are very high, and it must be foolproof! And if I go over in person, I can also show my sincerity, and then with the help of your relationship with the Imperial Family of the Ice Country, it should be no problem to win this matter. Qin Shan said with a resolute expression.

Tang Jie understood Qin Shan's character, so he naturally knew that there was no persuasion, so he nodded and said: "Since the boss is so insistent, then I won't advise anymore, we need to send a batch of pills to the Cold Ice Country in two days, if the boss wants to go, he can come with us." ”

"That's very good, it seems that today's wine was drunk correctly, come, keep drinking, you can settle the bill when you're done!" Qin Shan raised his wine glass and smiled.

Tang Jie was speechless for a moment: "Boss, you are already the emperor now, when will you invite me to a drink!"

"Haha, let's talk about it later. ”

Two days later, a group of people from Dingtian Commercial Bank set off to deliver the pills to the Cold Ice Country.

Qin Shan was mixed in, he was worried that those ministers would dissuade him, so he sneaked out of the palace secretly, and only a few people knew about it.

This time he went to the Cold Ice Country, Qin Shan just took Zhao Zilong and Lu Bu, Tsunade and Xiao Hei and they all stayed in the palace, after all, his mother was in the palace, and if they were there, they could not only protect the queen mother but also deal with emergencies.

This time, the delivery of the elixir was personally handled by Tang Jie's third uncle, Tang Yexing, and when Tang Jie took Qin Shan to join it, he was immediately frightened.

"Your Majesty, why did you come to me? Xiao Jie, you are so presumptuous, you actually took Your Majesty to the Cold Ice Country with us, do you know that this is very dangerous!" Tang Yexing kept blaming Tang Jie.

"It doesn't matter, I'm going to go to the Ice Country to deal with important matters! As for the danger, there is no danger or anything. Qin Shan said disappreciatively.
