"Who else could it be? Yan, Wei, or Chu!"

"There is also the Qi State which is not short of money!"

Yan Yan did not hide anything.

The amount of iron ore required to make armor is several times that of other military equipment. Even Bingzhou cannot produce armor every day.

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. This news was not good news for the Qin State.

But he couldn't let Bingzhou stop producing and not do this business.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Although the relationship between Qin and Bing is good, it does not mean that Bingzhou cannot do its own business.

So Ying Zheng didn't say much, but was thinking in his heart how to prevent the batch of weapons produced in Bingzhou from being delivered to the princes.

"Should the princes come to pick up this batch of military equipment themselves or will Bingzhou be responsible for delivering it to the princes?" Ying Zheng thought for a moment and continued to ask.

This is very necessary. If Bingzhou is responsible for the escort, then if Qin State intercepts it, it would mean being inimical to Bingzhou. The princes can also use the excuse that they have not received the weapons and refuse to pay the balance.

"The Qin State can't take it away!" Yan Yan shook his head.

"The Mohists will be responsible for escorting this batch of military equipment and delivering it to the princes." Master Xu also guessed Ying Zheng's thoughts and spoke hurriedly.

If the Qin State went crazy and sent out a large army to rob, it would not be a good thing for the Mohists.

"But..." Yan Yan hesitated.

"But what?" Ying Zheng asked hurriedly.

"After the delivery is completed, whatever happens will have nothing to do with Bingzhou and Mohism!" Master Xu finished speaking for Yan Yan.

"The group from Yan will be escorted by Commander Qiu Jiu, the group from Wei will be escorted by Commander Dao Zhi, and the group from Chu will be escorted by the Wei navy." Master Xu continued.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and he understood what Yan Yan and Master Xu meant.

They would not directly tell Qin the delivery location, allowing Qin to take advantage of them.

But they can tell Qin who will be responsible for escorting them. Then Qin has Luowang and Shadow Guards, which can keep an eye on these people and find the delivery location.

As for what happens after the delivery, that is Qin's business.

After all, compared to the one-time deals of the princes, Qin was the biggest customer of Mohism and Bingzhou.

"Bingzhou and Mohism can rest assured that Qin will not implicate both parties!" Ying Zheng promised with a smile.

Bingzhou and Mohism revealed intelligence to Qin and gave Qin what it wanted, so Qin naturally would not make things difficult for both sides.

It takes time to transport a large number of military equipment. The Qin State can send out a large army to wait until both sides have completed the delivery and then send out troops to rob them.

This way, Bingzhou and Mohism will not suffer any losses.

As for the source of intelligence, Qin was best at bribing the enemy's ministers and would never expose Bingzhou and Mohism.

In addition to the Liuli Workshop and the Military Workshop, Ying Zheng also followed Master Xu out of the Beiye Royal Court to visit Bingzhou's bedding factory, cashmere workshop, cattle and sheep slaughtering bases and major horse farms.

Of course, Ying Zheng did not just go there to visit, he also went there to place an order.

This is the main reason why Yan Yan took Ying Zheng to visit.

Isn't the purpose of visiting to let customers know the quality of their products and then get huge orders.

In addition to ordering large quantities of colored glaze and military equipment, Qin's greatest demand was for cold-resistant cotton bedding, war horses, and meat products produced in Bingzhou.

And the order quantity is also huge.

Military equipment and war horses were ordered in tens of thousands, which was not considered a large quantity, but other items such as meat, bedding, etc. were ordered in millions.

"It's easier to do business directly with national-level clients like this!" Mr. Xu sighed.

How much can the major chambers of commerce buy? Hundreds, thousands, or at most tens of thousands.

But the money we negotiated directly with Qin was in the millions. The most important thing was that the money was returned quickly.

"..." Li Yao, the Shaofu who came with Ying Zheng, was silent. How much money was there in the national treasury?

During this trip, Ying Zheng almost spent all the national treasury.

Almost every time we visit a factory, we place a large order.

It just so happens that these things are really easy to sell in the Qin State and are of great use to the Qin State.

So, looking at the bills he kept issuing, Li Yao just felt numb.

Li Yao didn't know how much he could earn, but he knew that he had almost spent all the national treasury on this trip.

"Who said Bingzhou was founded on military power? This is simply a profiteer!" Li Yao sighed.

Bingzhou clearly calculated the psychology of its customers and was determined to take over the Qin State.

Take the bedding factory for example. When you see bedding that can keep out the severe cold, can you, the Qin State, turn a blind eye to it?
No, what to do? Buy it!

Do you soldiers and civilians want to be strong and eat meat every meal?

Think! What to do? Buy!
The most annoying thing is that even the fodder had to be purchased by the Qin State from Bingzhou.

To put it in Bingzhou dialect, the reason why Bingzhou's war horses are stronger than those of other princes is because of the pasture.

Are you, the Qin State, afraid that the war horses you bought won't be able to adapt to the local climate?
So, Li Yao could only continue to pay money, one word: buy!
"Yao Qing!" Ying Zheng glanced at Li Yao.

"Buy!" Li Yao was already numb.

"Huh?" Ying Zheng, Madam Xu and the person in charge of the Bingzhou manure factory were all stunned.

They just brought Ying Zheng and others to see how Bingzhou dealt with these filthy things.

Ying Zheng's original intention was to let Li Yao write it down and bring this hygiene management experience back to the Qin State.

Who would have thought that the numb Li Yao would even buy the cow and sheep dung from Bingzhou!
Li Yao also reacted, but the words had already been spoken, could she change them?

After all, he is one of the Nine Ministers of Qin.

"This..." The person in charge of Bingzhou Environmental Sanitation Plant looked at Master Xu hesitantly.

"Sell!" Master Xu also knew that Li Yao was probably numb, but why not sell it if he could? At most, the price could be lowered, just as a way to give Li Yao a way out so that they could get along better in the future.

"Can this thing be bought?" Ying Zheng was puzzled.

"Yes!" Li Yao casually found various reasons to buy it.

Unlike Bingzhou, which had few planting areas, Qin had more arable land and a greater demand for fertilizer, and cattle and sheep manure was recognized as the best fertilizer.

So...it's worth buying!

"Okay!" Ying Zheng thought about it and decided that professionals should do professional things.

Since the Shaofu said that Qin also has a demand for manure, then there must be a real demand for it!

After the trip, Li Yao completely transformed into a purchasing expert.

Before, Ying Zheng was being advised to spend less money, but now Li Yao took the initiative to purchase.

In Li Yao’s own words, if you don’t spend money, what’s the point of earning it?

Moreover, Li Yao also felt that his Ren and Du meridians were opened.

In the past, the Shaofu and Zhisu Neishi would save as much as possible, for fear that the treasury would be empty.

Now Li Yao's idea is different. Save? How much can be saved?
If I spend all the money, I can earn it back with several times the profit!
The factory price of a quilt in Bingzhou was only thirty coins, and with the transportation to Qin, it would cost at most fifty coins. So he could set the price at eighty coins in Qin, which was affordable for the people.

Who doesn’t need a quilt to keep out the cold in winter?
