Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 374 Inferior Fire Guns, Ideas Against Japan
The envoys of various countries were silent.

They had to consider the consequences of offending Datang.

The Tang Dynasty, which had firecrackers, wiped out Tuyuhun with only [-] firecrackers, and was fully capable of going to war with other countries.

"So, we have to buy it?"

Lu Dongzan said with a calm face.

Since ancient times, Tubo has a high terrain and has never worried about the invasion of the Central Plains.

After Songtsan Gampo dominated the plateau, Tubo had plans to invade the Tang Dynasty.

But before the plan was implemented, a powerful weapon such as the firecracker appeared in Datang.

Tubo personally experienced the power of firecrackers, and knew that there must be firecrackers to resist Datang.

In the end, everyone negotiated and came to a conclusion, buying Datang's firecrackers.

Not long after, everyone made an appointment with Fang Yuan to meet.

Fang Yuan booked a private room on the fifth floor of Yipin Building in the name of the emperor.

From here, Chang'an City is full of traffic, bustling and bustling, and you can have a panoramic view.

The representatives of various countries still saw Datang in such a comprehensive way, and couldn't help but yearn for it.

It was the first time they had seen such a bustling scene, and they had never seen it in their own country.

"Is it lively?"

"This is Chang'an City, a place that many of you covet."

Fang Yuan sat down, drank and ate meat slowly.

Needless to say, the ambitions of the various countries are known, there is no need to hide them.

Saying it now can shock them and blow their minds.

"Master Fang is joking, how dare we spy on Chang'an City."

"That's right, there are a million lions in the Tang Dynasty, we dare not even think about it."

"That's right, now that Datang has left us far away, we are still worried that Datang will attack us."

The envoys from various countries withdrew their gazes and returned to their seats.

Everyone sat around, and the food and drinks for the guests were already placed in front of them.

"Have you all figured it out?"

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

"Master Fang, we have always wanted to buy firecrackers."

"But we don't have that much money, so we can just buy part of it."

Lu Dongzan spoke on behalf of the envoys from various countries.

Datang firecrackers are too expensive, they can't buy that many.

So we agreed to buy a few hundred pieces and study them carefully after we go back.

"Sorry, the minimum is [-] sticks. If it's too low, we won't buy it, and we won't make any money."

Fang Yuan was taken aback, then shook his head and said.

Just kidding, it is rare to find [-] low-quality firecrackers, how can we not sell them all.

"A minimum of two thousand?!"

"Master Fang, we don't have that much money."

Lu Dongzan and others felt embarrassed.

There is so much money that their country cannot afford to pay.

And I didn't buy so many back, it was a waste of money.

Because two thousand firecrackers can't do it for defending the Tang Dynasty, and they can't do it for attacking neighboring countries.

"It's okay, you can borrow it from Huaxia Bank."

"You are all envoys from various countries, just sign your names."

Fang Yuan laughed.

It's just money, nothing to borrow.

For Datang, there is no need to worry about these countries borrowing money and not repaying it.

If they don't return it, the army will kill them directly, and the firearms army will sweep their country.

"Lord Fang, we really don't need so many firecrackers, two or three hundred are enough."

Xue Yantuo's envoy said awkwardly.

Envoys from other countries also nodded one after another, unwilling to borrow money from Datang.

Once the money is borrowed, it will be subject to Datang from then on, and it will be difficult to be stable until the money is repaid.

"Sorry, no."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said firmly.

"I, we need to contact the king."

The envoys of various countries looked ugly, and in the end they could only delay the time first.

The asking price is too high for them to decide, and they don't want to make such a decision.

Signing a loan with Datang, if there is no domestic consent, if something happens in the future, they will take the blame.

"casual."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Next, Fang Yuan continued to eat.

A few of them didn't leave, and they left after eating.

During the period, they asked Fang Yuan about the loan interest and time, etc.
After a few days, the envoys from various countries met with Fang Yuan again and agreed with Fang Yuan's opinion.

Yes, news came from their country that they agreed to buy [-] firecrackers, but only [-]% was given, and the remaining [-]% were all borrowed.

Regarding this, Fang Yuan naturally has no objection.

And take them to the research institute to see the firecrackers prepared for them.

Seeing the firecrackers in the warehouse, the dissatisfaction of the envoys from various countries disappeared a lot, and their eyes lit up.

The envoys from various countries touched the firecracker one by one, feeling the coldness coming from the firecracker, their bodies trembled slightly with excitement.

This is the firecracker!
A murderous firecracker!

But soon, someone noticed something was wrong.

"Master Fang, why is this firecracker rusty?"

It was first discovered by the Japanese envoys.

He carefully observed the firecrackers in the box and noticed the difference.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the firecracker in Dongpu envoy's hand, and at Fang Yuan, asking Fang Yuan for an explanation.

"Some firearms have been stocked for a while, so there are slight rust spots."

Fang Yuan looked at the fire gun and explained.

Everyone suddenly realized and agreed with this statement.

It is normal for ironware to have rust spots after being placed for a long time.

"Here, why does my gun feel like it's about to fall apart?"

"I also feel a little bit wrong with this one, it makes a noise when shaken."

"Me too, the feel is obviously different than others, it can't be inferior, right?"

Soon, envoys from various countries found some defective products in the boxes.

In an instant, several people had bad thoughts in their hearts, that is, these batches of firecrackers were defective products.

"You can't say that."

"There may be some minor problems among them, but they can be used normally."

"Besides, to be honest, Datang's current firecrackers are all these, and I have no intention of fooling you."

Fang Yuan said with a sigh.

"Then, can I test it?"

Everyone listened, dubious.

I have never personally used the firecracker, I only know that the firecracker is very lethal, but I don't know what the firecracker is like.

Maybe it's really the same as what Fang Yuan said, maybe it's like this.

But whether it is or not, you only need to test to know.

"nature!"

"Go, ask the giant to come over."

Fang Yuan nodded and said.

Ask the followers to invite the giant over.

Juzi can adjust the firecracker to ensure that the first shot will not explode.

Soon, everyone moved to the shooting range, and the firecrackers were also moved there.

Not long after, Juzi came with seven or eight people.

"Everyone, please pick some tests at random."

Fang Yuan invited.

Let Lu Dongzan, Gao Tianzhi and the others choose firecrackers.

Seeing this, the envoys from various countries were not polite, and they only picked out those firecrackers that seemed to have problems.

But they didn't go too far, they just chose more than 30 to spend. After all, Juzi and others only had nine.

Soon, Juzi began to load the lead bullets from the lead bullets on the side, and adjusted the firecracker.

It was the first time for the envoys of various countries to watch it, and they all watched it carefully to learn something.

"Your envoy to experiment, or my people to experiment?"

The giant looked at the envoys from various countries and said.

"Let's come!"

Lu Dongzan and the others looked at each other with a smile, and finally stood up.

"Bang, bang, bang"

There was a sound of firecrackers.

The envoys from various countries were pleasantly surprised to find that the shields above them had been smashed.

If it is a bow and arrow, at most the bow and arrow are shot on the shield.

Obviously, firecrackers are countless times more powerful than bows and arrows, and their power is also countless times more powerful.

Holding the blunderbuss, the envoys from all over the world felt their blood boil, as if they had become omnipotent.

After trying two more shots, the envoys of various countries forgot the problem they just discovered.

It's okay to have minor problems, as long as it really works.

"Everyone, since there is no problem, let's sign the contract!"

Fang Yuan laughed.

Have someone bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and write down the loan agreement.

The envoys from various countries no longer hesitated, although they still felt distressed, they all signed their names.

Cooperation is reached.

Looking at the seven loan agreements, Fang Yuan smiled in satisfaction.

Although I only get [-]% of the money, the contract period is to pay it off within two years.

Given the condition of these inferior firearms, they should not be able to imitate them in two years.

If the money is not paid back at that time, the Fire Gun Army will sweep their country and get more money.

Even if they imitate the firecrackers, there will be new weapons in Datang, so there is no need to worry.

"Farewell!"

"Master Fang, thank you."

"Master Fang, we will leave Chang'an City soon."

The envoys from various countries took the firecrackers they bought, bid farewell to Fang Yuan and left.

Among them, the Japanese envoy was the last to leave, and he stopped when he reached the entrance of the research institute.

"Master Fang, can we have a chat?"

The Japanese envoy spoke with a flattering look.

"this way please."

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, but did not refuse.

He doesn't like Japanese people, but it's okay to chat.

Soon, Fang Yuan took the Dongpu envoy to another place.

During this period, Fang Yuan learned that the Japanese envoy was named Yohji Yamamoto.

"Master Fang, I, Dongpu, want to buy some more firecrackers, better firecrackers."

Yohji Yamamoto said with a smirk.

Saying that, he took out a small box from his bosom and pushed it towards Fang Yuan.

He thought that although Fang Yuan controlled the firecracker, he couldn't be the main firecracker after all.

So give Fang Yuan some benefits, let Fang Yuan sell some firecrackers to himself.

"How much?"

Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

Dongying is a small country, and it can be said to be the smallest country among all countries.

Such a small country wants to buy more firecrackers. What do you want to do?

"It's like eight thousand again."

Yohji Yamamoto said awkwardly.

"Why so much?"

Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly sank.

There is only one possibility for so many firecrackers, and that is to fight.

So is Japan going to war against its neighbors, or against what country?
"Lord Fang, you don't know that Baekje is too deceitful. It kills, burns, and loots our Dongying fishermen. I Dongying suffers from the past."

"Now that the firecrackers appear, the ordinary heavens will send nectar, giving me the hope of getting rid of the plundering of Baekje in Dongpu, and please Master Fang to buy me the firecrackers!"

Yohji Yamamoto said with a sob.

Tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, looking very aggrieved.

"Eight thousand guns, does Ni Dongpu have that much money?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

Baekje is stronger than Japan, but not as Yohji Yamamoto said.

On the contrary, the emperor of Dongying was ambitious and often stared at Baekje to make troubles.

Another eight thousand guns must not be to get rid of Baekje's plunder, but to annex Baekje.

I know that there are surrounding Silla and Goguryeo, etc.

"Can't you borrow it?"

"I will definitely give it to Japan."

Yohji Yamamoto said awkwardly.

The money and the others, Dongpu, definitely won't be able to get that much at once.

But Huaxia Bank can borrow it, so just borrow from Huaxia Bank, anyway, it will not be repaid when it becomes stronger in the future.

"The previous two thousand can be borrowed."

"The [-] cents you bought again cannot be borrowed!"

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

I will give you Dongying for free, you think it is beautiful.

With [-] firecrackers, it would be difficult for Datang to attack Dongpu with the advantage of being close to the sea.

"This, is this accommodating?"

Yohji Yamamoto took out a small box from his arms and pushed it in front of Fang Yuan.

The box is about the same size as the one just now. It doesn't look special, but it looks simple.

"The amount is too large, I can't accommodate, and I can't call the shots."

"But I have an idea, I wonder if you want to hear it?"

Fang Yuan shook his head and refused.

But a thought suddenly flashed in my mind, asking the other party if he wanted to listen.

"You say."

Yohji Yamamoto felt a little regretful.

Indeed, Fang Yuan should not be able to make the decision, after all there are so many firecrackers.

I regret that I gave away such a precious thing, I really regret it.

"I can't sell it, but I can borrow it!"

"Not only can you borrow guns, but you can also borrow people!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Dongying probably wants to destroy Baekje and annex Baekje.

Then Datang can take advantage of this opportunity and wipe out Dongying as well.

Dongpu has not yet settled the matter of laying poison on the top officials of Datang.

"Is this true?!"

Yohji Yamamoto's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly.

If you can use the manpower and material resources of the Tang Dynasty to destroy Baekje and Silla, it will definitely be a great thing for Japan.

Finally, if we cooperate with Goguryeo, Datang must not dare to attack Dongying or Goguryeo.

"really!"

"As long as you provide food, there will be compensation for the soldiers."

Fang Yuan nodded and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang, thank you, Mr. Fang!"

"I'll write back to the Emperor to confirm the time, how about it?"

Yohji Yamamoto stood up excitedly.

He wanted to pass the news back to China as soon as possible.

With Fang Yuan's help, Dongpu will usher in a new era.

"can."

"By the way, I also went to the palace to explain to the emperor."

Fang Yuan also stood up.

After parting with Yohji Yamamoto, Fang Yuan entered the palace.

"Ten percent, it's a little less after all."

"But we are not at a loss. As long as they don't pay back, we have an excuse to attack them."

Li Shimin laughed.

In the short term, Datang did not make a profit, but lost a bit.

The timeline of Dao was enlarged for two years, and Datang also earned two years of benefits.

If any country does not repay the money after two years, Datang will use it as an import to attack them.

In two years, Datang must have cultivated his health and health, and he had enough food and grass.

"East Ocean also wants to buy another eight thousand guns. I think he wants to start a war against neighboring countries."

"I didn't agree, but I said that I could lend him the firecracker together with the person."

Fang Yuan told Yohji Yamamoto that he wanted to buy additional firecrackers, as well as his own guess.

"It's very likely."

"After making an appointment, you tell me that I support your idea."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said.

What Datang lacks most now is food, and there is no food to support the war.

It would be the best thing if Dongying could "help" him with the grain datang.

Help Japan to achieve the situation of killing two birds with one stone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fang Yuan was grateful for Li Shimin's trust.

After leaving the palace, someone brought news to Yohji Yamamoto and expressed his expectation of good news from him.
