Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 385 Barbarian Procurement Plan
This day was not the time for the imperial meeting. Emperor Qianwu met Habul in the imperial study.

As for Namuga, he did not come.

For him, it was absolutely unacceptable to kneel down and pay homage to Emperor Qianwu.

Habur knelt down respectfully and performed three bows and nine kowtows in accordance with the highest etiquette of Daqian. His movements were meticulous.

"Barbarian envoy Habur, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Daqian. Long live your Majesty!"

In the past, he would never have lowered his attitude so low.

But now that Daqian has become extremely powerful because of Li Changfeng's existence, he has to lower his posture to avoid making Emperor Qianwu unhappy.

Emperor Qianwu didn't have a good impression of the barbarians. When the barbarians invaded with the power of evil beasts, Nangong Changming was defeated, killing and injuring more than [-] people. Emperor Qianwu always kept this account in his heart.

Therefore, Emperor Qianwu did not give Habul a good look and said coldly: "Get up."

Habul stood up, but still bowed at the waist to show respect for Emperor Qianwu.

With a flattering smile on his face, he began his routine flattery.

"Dear His Majesty the Emperor of Daqian, you are truly a wise emperor. Daqian has undergone earth-shaking changes under your rule. The foreign ministers were all shocked by what they saw and heard along the way..."

If envoys from other countries were so flattering, Emperor Qianwu could still listen patiently, then say a few words of self-effacement and then praise the other country's emperor.

But Emperor Qianwu had no patience at all for the barbarian envoy and interrupted him directly: "Okay, no need to talk nonsense, let's get down to business."

Habur looked a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty is really quick to talk, and since this is the case, I will say it straight, my king hopes to purchase a large number of refined salt, tea, penicillin, bicycles, motorcycles, muskets, artillery, grenades and other items .”

It was okay at the beginning, but when Habul talked about motorcycles, Emperor Qianwu's face became a little ugly. Later, when he heard about muskets and artillery, his expression turned gloomy.

When the barbarians invaded and Li Changfeng defeated the barbarians, the relationship between the two countries fell below freezing point and official contacts were completely cut off. Even Li Changfeng did not take the initiative to open up the market there.

The exchanges between the two countries are only some non-governmental businessmen exchanging information.

Now that the relationship has not been repaired, the barbarians are simply wishful thinking in purchasing these powerful weapons to suppress the country.

Seeing the gloomy expression on Emperor Qianwu's face, Habul quickly bowed and said seriously: "Dear Majesty, Emperor Daqian, our royal court had no control over the war between the two countries back then. Think about it, how can we control the evil beast?"

What he said was half true and half false. The invasion of Daqian was actually fueled by the royal court's dominance of the barbarian temples.

However, Emperor Qianwu believed it somewhat when he said it under such circumstances.

After all, this is not the first time that the Immortal Sect has done this kind of thing. Daqian Fushen Temple does have a reason to invade.

Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but look a little better.

Habul struck while the iron was hot: "In order to express my apology to your country, my king specially asked his ministers to bring some small gifts. Please accept it with your Majesty's approval."

As he said that, Habr gave a look to the attendants who were carrying three large boxes behind them. The attendants opened the boxes, and they were full of exquisite gold jewelry.

Emperor Qianwu glanced at it, his mood not much disturbed.

He has shares in many of Li Changfeng's properties, earning a few 10 taels a month. Although these things are valuable, they are not enough to make him happy.

However, his mood improved a lot.

For the barbarians to send such a heavy gift, it can be regarded as showing the importance they attach to him and Dagan.

Seeing him like this, Habul secretly sighed: Daqian is so rich and rich that he can't even look down on such a great gift.

He did not expect that he could repair the relationship with Daqian with just this gift. He smiled charmingly and said: "Your Majesty, my king has said that he hopes to establish a good-neighborly and friendly cooperative relationship with Daqian. The purchase of materials from Daqian by our barbarians is very important. It is also beneficial to go big, and I hope your majesty will give you permission!"

Emperor Wu didn't pay attention to the nonsense about good neighborliness. If the barbarians didn't have temples, he would have ordered the army to bulldoze the barbarians.Where there is any friendship between countries, there are only interests.

So the second half of Habr's sentence aroused his interest.

Daqian's subsequent construction of more railways and hydropower stations, the army's purchase of motorcycles, and the expert vehicles and tanks that Li Changfeng said would appear in the future will all require money.

There is no reason not to earn the money that is delivered to your door.

He already had calculations in his mind.

Just when he was about to express his thoughts, an idea suddenly popped into his head.

Why not ask Li Changfeng?

He understood that when the barbarians came to purchase these materials, they could not simply use them. They must also have the intention of researching and imitating them. Li Changfeng had reminded him of this before.

These things were all created by Li Changfeng. No one knows the impact of these materials on a country better than him. He must have his own ideas, which can be compared with his own decisions.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qianwu said calmly: "I want to ask my ninth son Li Changfeng about this matter."

After speaking, he looked at Gao Dali: "It is reported that Li Changfeng has come to the palace to pay an audience."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Dali went to arrange for someone to deliver the decree.

Habr looked stunned.

Emperor Qianwu couldn't even make the decision on matters like trade between the two countries?
Even if you didn't pay attention, you should still ask the important ministers in the court. Why ask a prince who has no official position?

Is it just because these things were invented by Li Changfeng?
For a time, Habr had a deeper understanding of Li Changfeng's position in Daqian.

Emperor Qianwu had no interest in chatting with Habul, so he picked up the memorial and started reviewing it, as if he didn't exist, and didn't even give him a chair.

Habr looked embarrassed and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit, so he could only stand obediently.

After a long time, Li Changfeng rushed over in a hurry and paid homage to Emperor Qianwu.

"My son sees His Majesty!"

Then he looked at Habr: "Are you a barbarian envoy?"

Habr quickly knelt down and paid homage: "Barbarian envoy Habr, I pay my respects to His Highness the Ninth Prince of Daqian. His Highness is a thousand years old!"

Li Changfeng did not rush to let him get up, and looked at Emperor Qianwu again: "Father, why did you summon your ministers here?"

This time the person who went to deliver the order to him was his old acquaintance Eunuch Zhang. On the way, he found out clearly that the barbarian envoy was coming to court, but he didn't know the specific reason why he was summoned to the palace.

Emperor Qianwu glanced at Habul and said calmly: "Tell Changfeng the purpose of your trip."

"It's Your Majesty!"

Habr bowed and looked at Li Changfeng: "My king hopes to purchase a large amount of refined salt, tea, penicillin, bicycles, motorcycles, muskets, artillery, grenades and other items."

Li Changfeng was slightly startled, then smiled.

"Okay."
