When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Zixun turned his head and saw a convoy slowly approaching from behind, and then saw the soldiers on the four-horse chariot.

The chariots on the left, the right, and the charioteers all perform their duties. Their golden armor, carved lacquer bows, shields, and utensils are all of the best choice.

This is something Xin Qu uses to show off, and it is also the latest export product of Yan State.

And it’s a top product!
The defense is definitely there, but it's nowhere near as good as iron armor.

But at this moment, it attracted the attention of the crowd, and everyone was extremely excited.

Who wouldn’t want such good equipment?
But only Zixun saw the carriage with three people standing on it. Did he feel the threat immediately?
Compared with the two-man tanks or single-man tanks commonly used by the Shang clan, is the deterrent power displayed by Xin Qu's three-man tank in front of him the most terrifying?
This means that Yan State has mastered better car-making technology, especially the bearing problem, which has been solved by them!

The only possible solution to this problem is the further evolution of the bronze formula.

"It seems that you have a lot to hide."

There was a cold look in Zixun's eyes, he really wanted Xin Qu to offer it directly.

But...it's impossible.

Since Xin Qu wants to sell, it means that it is impossible to rob him openly, because the money and food earned by Xin Qu after doing business are often given to local county construction.

If I use this income now, I'm afraid it will arouse the hatred of the entire Yan Kingdom.

The more he understood the political system of Yan State, the more Zixun knew that Yan State could not completely force them to oppose each other.

Yan State... still has to find a way to consume it.

After all, Yan State now relies entirely on the military merit system to support the promotion of everyone at the top and bottom. The power of nobles and other nobles is all controlled by Xin Qu alone.

As long as Yan is given a short period of time to develop, conflicts will definitely arise in the future due to uneven distribution of interests.

Therefore, procrastination may not necessarily lead to death, but it will certainly lead to late death.

If the Shang people want to defeat the Yan State, they still need to make themselves stronger first.

"Buying and selling is OK, but... I need the proportion of raw materials for smelting bronze."

Zixun said to Xin Qu, with firmness in his tone: "Of course, you have to give me a cheaper price."

"It's no problem to give you the formula." Xinqu laughed, "Ten thousand female slaves between the ages of twelve and twenty, or three thousand tribes of craftsmen."

Zixun was choked and looked at Xinqu unhappily: "You are not sincere. If the price is so high, I don't believe in the raw material ratio. I can't test it."

Xin Qu clicked his tongue and said, "Yes, but have you thought about it?
How long does the trial take? How much does it cost?

My experiment alone, with my full support against all opinions, still cost 10,000 people, three years, and one million catties of rice.

If this money and food were used for construction, the entire city of Beiping could be built. "

Zixun's face turned dark, because when he thought about this amount of expenditure, not to mention three years, just one year, if ten thousand people were not engaged in production, he might be scolded to death.

But Xinqu didn't finish speaking. He said with a smile: "Besides, I don't necessarily want to sell it to you. I can also wait for you to test it out and sell it to the clans in various places as soon as possible.

In this way, you will not be able to walk faster than others, but you will also spend more than others. In this way, you will be laughed to death by the nobles in the country. "

When Zixun heard this, he pointed at Xin Qu with trembling fingers, very angry but helpless.

Because this seems like something Xinqu can do.

To be honest, until now, Xinqu has not paid tribute to the court because he had no intention of putting himself in danger from the beginning, so others did it for him.

But no one thought there was a problem.

Because the Yan State is strong enough, so what if the Yan State now shows its disobedience?
Can't beat!
If you want to find an opportunity to beat Yan Guo, he will find an opportunity to trick you.

Just like now.

Xin Qu continued indifferently: "As for business, let's talk if we can. After all, bronze is related to military service and sacrifice. It is the true foundation of life and death and the foundation of a strong country. Therefore, this kind of business should be left to the world and let everyone learn.

Or monopolize and buy my formula.

I will give you a guarantee, as long as you monopolize it at a high price and pay a patent fee every year, with a maximum cap of ten years.

As long as you pay enough for the annual patent, which can be slaves or food supplies, I can guarantee that the formula will not be sold to the outside world within one year after you pay.

At the same time, I will only sell my bronzes to members of the Trade Alliance. I will not sell them to anyone in the South who is not a member of my Trade Alliance. How about that? "

Zixun stared at Xin Qu with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through this guy.

Insidious, philistine, cunning, and ruthless. This guy, like himself, is a person who knows how to maximize the benefits of the cards in his hand.

But the difference between him and himself is that he almost started from scratch, and he is still limited by his status as a prince and cannot rectify the Amish merchant nobles.

"Ten years?" Zixun took a deep breath, "Are you sure that as long as you follow your deal, you won't sell weapons southward within ten years?"

"As long as you don't join my trade alliance." Xin Qu emphasized the prefix, "Of course, it's limited to weapons and bronze recipes. What I hope is that we both have a monopoly.

If there are nobles below who have learned it and don't dedicate it to you, you can join forces with me to send troops to protect the patent.

I am happy to let the world know that patents can only be controlled by the royal family. The patents of nobles must be dedicated to the king or sold to the king. Everyone can make money together, otherwise it will be harboring evil intentions and killing without mercy. "

Xin Qu dropped these words with great arrogance. Zixun breathed rapidly for several minutes, then pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Aren't you afraid of backlash?" Zixun just felt that Xin Qu was crazy.

Xinqu disagreed: "Backlash? What a joke! Some skills must be protected, but some skills are only used to protect the rule.

In fact, anyone can imitate the current patent.

But when necessary, this is an excuse to hit someone.

Even if you don't protect them, don't you still protect those clans that feed on skills?

Isn't the internal fighting between the Weishao and Changshao clans just about competing for bronze smelting technology to consolidate their own clan's technocratic status?

I think you should be unhappy with them, right?
Now, if I sell you the bronze formula, you can directly sacrifice their leaders because of their incompetence, and then distribute the Tail Spoon and Long Spoon as technical clans to tribes that are friendly to you.

You have the best, and the second line is used to enrich your direct lineage, which can not only expand your own power.

You can also use cooperation with me as an excuse to attack disobedient nobles.

Why not do this to soothe people's hearts and lay the foundation for your throne? "

Zixun took a deep breath to stop himself from being so excited.

It was obvious that Xin Qu had taught him the strategy to break the situation.

If Yan State enters the situation, not to mention anything else, the situation in Hebei will be squeezed because of Yan State's entry into the situation.

With pressure, there is motivation to be overturned.

"Okay, after talking for a long time, let Dianke and the others talk to your people later. Let's talk about the subsequent discussions. I need you to open up mutual trade with me." Xinqu pulled Zixun back from his thoughts, "As long as After opening up the mutual market, three to eight tanks can be sold to Amishang every year. Do you want it? "

"Yes!" Zixun said urgently, "Only sell it to me!"

"You should know that I have too many places to spend money. Therefore, in the past two years, I can sell 70% of the sales directly to you, but the other 30% will be auctioned.

After two years, the calculation will start from 50%, and then it will be sold directly at a reduced rate of 10% year by year.

how is it? "

"You!" Zixun looked ugly, but he didn't expect Xinqu to still be like this.

"Don't worry, my auction here is not a bidding. The bidding must hide the price, but the bidding is naked. When the time comes, arrange for someone to record it to see who bought it, and then calculate the strength of each house, and you will understand whose house it is. How many chariots are there? Who has the most armor? Then keep an eye on these people. If they need to be cut off, don’t you know? "

Xinqu put this on the table, leaving Zixun speechless.

This is strength.

If Zixun is the king who has centralized the power of the entire Shang clan, then he can really refute Xin Qu's fallacies, because he has enough power to confront the Yan State. If he cannot defeat the Yan State, he can also make the Yan State suffer to death.

Instead of being ridiculed by Xin Qu and helpless like now.

"You are so scary. If I could, I really want to kill you right now." Zixun gritted his teeth and said to Xinqu.

"Both each other. In fact, now that you are gone, it will be of great help to me to go south to destroy the merchants." I uphold justice for heaven and punish the people for their sins.”

The two stared at each other until the sunset, and suddenly laughed at the same time.

Obviously, neither side is strong enough to kill the other side now, and both sides are pretending to be snakes.

Then, everyone who was guarding outside saw Xin Qu and Zixun walking out arm in arm, talking and laughing, very intimate, as if they had already discussed a lot of good things.

But beneath the smile, there was only murderous intention. (End of chapter)
