Comprehensive martial arts: Summon the thunder and lightning general, I will rule the world

"Your Majesty Ming Emperor, I wonder if Ming Dynasty can conduct another transaction!?" Immediately afterwards, Zhao Shirong asked Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhao Shirong with some doubts: "Tell me about it?"

"Your Majesty seems to have new iron-smelting technology, right?" Zhao Shirong asked.

"Well, the Ming Dynasty has indeed mastered the new iron smelting technology, but does Princess Zhao think that I will hand over this technology?" Zhu Houzhao chuckled and asked, "For any country, such a Our technologies are top priority and cannot be shared even with friendly forces."

"Of course we know this, but we don't know if His Majesty can sell us some weapons. Similarly, we are willing to buy them with iron ore." Zhao Shirong was not annoyed and asked directly.

"Iron ore?" Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows. Zhu Houzhao was also mining iron ore, but he didn't expect that Zhao Shirong actually proposed to exchange iron ore for weapons.

"There is actually a lot of iron ore in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, if you are willing, I can also use this method to trade, but our processing fees are not cheap!" Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and said: "Of course, if you are not willing, If so, forget it.”

“We know this.

Your Majesty's iron smelting technology is already far ahead of other countries. Whether it is weapons or armor, we need to order them. For this, we understand that we have to pay some price, as long as we can give us one-third. "Zhao Shirong said with confidence.

"One-third?" Zhu Houzhao tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was thinking about something, and every time his fingers tapped on the table, it pulled Zhao Shirong's heart.

She did appear very confident before, but she didn't have much confidence inside.

The iron smelting technology of the Ming Dynasty was much more advanced than that of the Southern Song Dynasty. The weapons newly produced by the Ming Dynasty were at least twice as good as the weapons they equipped in the Southern Song Dynasty. If the weapons of the Ming Dynasty were used, the loss ratio of their weapons would be It will drop a lot.

Moreover, with more good weapons and armor, the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty will also be greatly improved.

One third is already considered a good number, after all, this is just the processing fee.

However, there is no guarantee that Zhu Houzhao will not be dissatisfied because of this! !

After all, they can tacitly agree on some things. Even though the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty seems to be pretty good on the surface, no one knows when they will go to war.

Maybe in the next year or two, they will go to war, or they will fight against Dayuan together in the future, no one knows this.

The key still depends on the attitude within the Southern Song Dynasty. Even Zhao Shirong himself knew that there were actually differences in the attitudes towards the Ming Dynasty within the Southern Song Dynasty.

Some people want to unite with Ming Dynasty to fight against Dayuan Dynasty, while others want to use Dayuan Dynasty's hand to weaken Ming Dynasty, or even backstab Ming Dynasty at critical moments.

Nowadays, these two voices are almost competing against each other in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, and no one can have the upper hand.

These are two kinds of contradictions. One is the contradiction between the imperial power and the scholar-bureaucrats and the official and gentry groups, and the contradiction with the Yuan Dynasty is a national contradiction.

If the Ming Dynasty now forges weapons for the Southern Song Dynasty, no one can guarantee that these weapons will not be used against the Ming Dynasty in the future.

"It's not impossible to cast weapons for the Southern Song Dynasty, but you can only take one-fifth of it. Of course, the transportation will be borne by the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment and then continued: "You pile up the iron ore at the port. , or just wait until you annex the Northern Song Dynasty and send the iron ore to the border between the Ming Dynasty and the two Song Dynasties."

Speaking of the latter, Zhu Houzhao also glanced at Zhao Shirong meaningfully.

This glance made Zhao Shirong's heart sink. Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao knew everything. For the Southern Song Dynasty, this was not a good thing, but they didn't know how the Ming Dynasty would stop them in the future.

This is inevitable. If it were them, they would secretly stumble upon Da Ming.

Of course, the Southern Song Dynasty had already prepared for the possibility that Zhu Houzhao knew about this matter.

We even made some preparations for this.

"What did your Majesty say? If our Southern Song Dynasty could annex the Northern Song Dynasty, we wouldn't have been able to watch them split up." Zhao Shirong said with an embarrassed smile.

"Hmm, maybe!" Zhu Houzhao smiled noncommittally: "I'm not afraid that you will say that I am arrogant. In fact, I am not afraid that you will come against Ming Dynasty.

Of course, if you seek death, you can't blame me.

Daming can customize weapons for you, but the benefits must be sufficient! "Zhao Shirong sighed lightly, but she also understood what Zhu Houzhao meant. She also said quickly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Ming, there is no need to worry. I, the Southern Song Dynasty, have no intention of starting a war with Ming Dynasty for the time being. "

"Maybe!" Zhao Shirong's words were very sincere, and they were only used temporarily. This can make people believe Zhao Shirong's words.

As for this time, Zhao Shirong said that the Southern Song Dynasty would never have the idea of ​​​​going to war with the Ming Dynasty. This sentence was used to fool Zhu Wuwu, and Zhu Wuwu didn't believe it!

Naturally, Zhu Houzhao would not easily believe Zhao Shirong's words. As for the future relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, who was Zhu Houzhao afraid of?

"Shirong needs to go back to discuss this matter. Please forgive me!" After some consideration, Zhao Shirong said this.

There is no way, Zhu Houzhao is really too open-minded.

Although Zhu Houzhao borne the transportation costs, one-fifth was too much.

In other words, for every five weapons Zhu Houzhao produced, only one belonged to their Southern Song Dynasty.

On the contrary, this will greatly strengthen the Ming Dynasty's army, which is very detrimental to the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Shirong said that he is not so stupid.

"Well, you can just discuss it slowly. I'm not in a hurry. After all, Ming Dynasty is not particularly short of iron ore!" Zhu Houzhao spread his hands and chuckled: "It's just that the mining speed is a bit slow."

Zhao Shirong's heart sank. What Zhu Houzhao meant was that as long as there was iron ore, they could smelt it into metal?
So to what level has Ming's smelting technology improved?
It seems that we need to discuss it with the country as soon as possible. This matter is not something I can decide!
"By the way, do you know where Zhao Guangyi is?" Seeing Zhao Shirong's worried look, Zhu Houzhao asked again.

"Why did His Majesty Emperor Ming ask him?" Zhao Shirong couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

Of course, she asked this question because she knew the relationship between Li Canghai and Zhao Guangyi.

According to Zhao Shirong's understanding of Zhu Houzhao, this guy is still affectionate and righteous. For Li Canghai, Zhu Houzhao may indeed take action against Zhao Guangyi.

Moreover, in order for a land immortal to return to his heart, something must be sacrificed, and Zhao Guangyi is likely to become the victim. (End of chapter)
