Chapter 205

"Emperor, forgive me

The ministers never saw Xiao Wenxuan so angry. Cui Hao was so scared that he immediately pleaded guilty.

"Well, you all stand on dry shore with high sounding. Do you think I'm really a fool? If you can't take back the land of Youzhou, it's the territory of the barbarians. " Xiao Wenxuan continued.

Then he scanned the whole Chengqing hall and said, "since you don't agree with the method of the king of Qi, now I'll give you a chance. No matter who won the land of Youzhou, I'll give it to anyone. Do you dare?"

The civil servants headed by Cui Hao immediately shrunk their heads and did not dare to speak. They could only make profits on their lips, but when it was their turn to go to the battlefield, they were already shaking.

After waiting for a long time, no one spoke. Xiao Wenxuan sneered, "it seems that no one else is willing to fight for me in the grassland. In this case, I promised the request of the king of Qi. As a reward, I promised the king of Qi."

"Thank you, father!" Xiao Ming said with a bow.

I have to say that just now Xiao Wenxuan finally looked like an emperor, domineering side leakage.

Xiao Wenxuan sat down on the Dragon chair again, then looked at the king of Wei, "king of Wei, what kind of reward do you want?"

"Emperor, I just want to know if the king of Qi can sell some guns to me." The king of Wei hesitated and said.

Hearing the words, the third prince was alert and said, "Uncle Sanhuang, King Zhao, King Liang and other northern vassal kings need artillery to resist the barbarians. It's understandable. I don't know why Uncle Sanhuang wants this artillery?"

"King Wei, the third prince is right. What do you want this gun for?" Xiao Wenxuan also frowned.

The king of Wei sighed at this time and said, "the emperor doesn't know. My younger brother wants this gun to defend against Japanese pirates coming from the sea. In recent years, my younger brother's merchant ships on the sea are often plundered by Japanese pirates. Moreover, Japanese pirates are rampant along the coast. My younger brother is miserable. And every time these Japanese pirates go ashore, they are thousands or tens of thousands. After plundering, they go back to the sea. It's really a headache."

Speaking of the Japanese pirates, the third prince immediately stopped talking, because the fiefdoms of the king of Chu had also been harassed by Japanese pirates, which was a reason. He said: "father, there are Japanese pirates in the fiefdoms of the king of Chu. In this case, I think the third emperor's words are reasonable."

The king of Wei looked at the three princes and thought that the three princes were really smart. At this time, he immediately changed his support, which means that the king of Chu was able to purchase artillery successfully.

Xiao Ming stands on the sidelines. The more artillery he needs, the more money he makes.

However, the Japanese pirates mentioned by the king of Wei made him frown.

This Japanese pirates naturally refers to an island country. In history, Japanese pirates harassed the coastal areas frequently. It seems that there are also Japanese pirates here, but Xiao Ming has few memories of them.

"Well, let me think about it again." Xiao Wenxuan didn't promise the king of Wei at the first time.

At this time, he was a little annoyed. Xiao Ming and the king of Wei were not fuel-efficient lamps. The reward of zhengbajing was a problem for him.

As if a little tired, Xiao Wenxuan said a word to Feng Deshui. Feng Deshui immediately said, "if you have something to play, you have nothing to retreat."

This time in the early Dynasty, Cui Hao made a blunder. Not only did he not use the gun technology, he was also scolded by Xiao Wenxuan. People with clear eyes can see Xiao Wenxuan's attitude towards barbarians.

It can be seen that the main battle faction will become the most vocal group in the court for some time in the future.

After the court broke up, the ministers left one after another.

This time Xiao Ming got what he wanted, and naturally he was satisfied. The king of Wei was a little worried and depressed. He exchanged greetings with Xiao Ming and said that he would invite Xiao Ming to have a drink some other day.

Xiao Ming laughs in his heart that it is not true that the king of Wei asked for the gun to resist the Japanese pirates, but it is true that he used the gun to threaten the king of Chu and the king of Yan.

Out of Chengqing hall, Xiao Ming was about to leave the palace when Feng Deshui suddenly came over and said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, the emperor is waiting for you."

Xiao Ming follows Feng Deshui around to the back of Chengqing hall. Xiao Wenxuan stands in a pavilion.

"Father Xiao Ming bowed and said,

Xiao Wenxuan turned around, looked at Xiao Ming and slowly asked, "there are only you and my father and son here. Tell me the truth, what is the power of this gun?"

"My father and my son dare not talk nonsense. This gun is evolved from the fire tube. It is more than ten times powerful in both power and range. With the help of the city's strong artillery, the soldiers will not retreat. It is generally no problem to defend the city."

Xiao Ming tells the truth.

After nodding, Xiao Wenxuan said: "you must know the situation of Dayu now. The reason why I dare not send troops to help you is that I am afraid that King Zhao and others will take the opportunity to make trouble, not that I am merciless. Today, with Cui Hao's words, I don't know who gave him the idea."

"My father had already seen it, and my son was worried that my father would really let my son hand over the gun technology." Xiao Ming said.

"If it had been 20 years ago, my father would have asked you to hand it in." Xiao Wenxuan suddenly sighed, "but now that his father is old, he should always think about the foundation of the Xiao family. The gun is in your hands. I can rest assured that you are royal after all."

After a pause, Xiao Wenxuan continued: "but this time, although I don't force you to hand over your artillery technology, your first batch of artillery will be handed over to the guards. Do you understand?""Yes, father." Xiao Ming said.

Xiao Wenxuan continued: "so when will the first batch of artillery arrive in Chang'an?" He was also very interested in the gun.

"Half a year." Xiao Ming said.

"Half a year?" Xiaowenxuan smell speech gas is not light, "how need such a long time?"

"Father, the production of this gun is very complicated, and my son's gun in Cangzhou city is not enough. He must come to Cangzhou first. Besides, this gun needs a lot of coal and iron, and it's hard for a skillful woman to make a meal without rice." Xiao Ming complained.

for Xiao Ming, what he just gave a big pie to others, he agreed to sell artillery, but when to provide him has the final say.

"No, it's too slow. I'll see the first batch of artillery in three months. You don't have coal and iron, I can give you, and I can allocate silver to you. The artillery must be equipped with the Imperial Army as soon as possible, and be equipped in the city of Chang'an." Xiao Wenxuan said sternly.

Xiao Wenxuan's eagerness for artillery seems to be his hatred for the humiliation of the barbarians and the vassal kings of different surnames.

He said: "in this case, my son can only try his best, but in three months, my son can only provide 24 guns, and each gun has 10000 taels of silver. I hope my father can give my son the silver first..."

"Hum, I know you will take advantage of the opportunity to ask for a price of 821. You can make up for it without you." Xiao Wenxuan said wildly.

Xiao Ming pretended to be in a dilemma. "In this case, I'll take some losses." He thought to himself that he would have raised the price a little earlier.
