The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 300

At least a dozen families did not dare to target the Zheng family from outside, but targeted the Nanling mountain people, saying that the mountain people were unfamiliar wolves and not worthy of trust.

Liu Yu was a little annoyed, and when he was about to argue, he was held back by Guiyan, who said in a low voice, "The defeated dog is just barking. If the dog bites you, do you still plan to bite it?"

"Of course not." Liu Yu smiled reluctantly, he understood some truths, but he couldn't figure it out at all when things came to an end.

Liu Yu is not an aristocrat, he fights everything with his fists, and there is a certain inferiority complex hidden in his heart, especially in this era when the rich are rampant and the poor have no upward channels, it is difficult to wash away all the natural inferiority complex .

Chu Qianhan was unmoved by the protests of the wealthy family at the end, he could not be a supporter, he was not qualified to negotiate conditions, and he would not care about one thing and lose another, hurting the interests and face of his brothers.

Shangguan Qing would not deliberately show the face of the wealthy family.

When the meeting was coming to an end, Zhu Qing walked in and reported to Guan Qing in a low voice: "Princess Wang has arrived from the capital and is already waiting outside."

Shangguan Qing looked at Chu Qianhan, and after getting the acquiescence, asked Zhu Qing to invite the special envoy in.

Shangguan Qing guessed that the special envoy should be Chu Yu who had met several times, and the one who came in with Zhu Qing was indeed Chu He, a strong Tianyuan from the Senate.

Chu Qianhan and Shangguan Qing got up to salute.

"Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a few months, so don't come here to be safe." Chu Qianhan treated each other with courtesy.

"Brother, you are being polite."

There is no backup among Tianyuan powerhouses, they only arrange the relationship between seniors and brothers according to the order of promotion. The founding patriarch Chu Kaiyuan came here, and he was only a senior.

Shangguan Qing ordered people to place three chairs under the throne, and Chu Qianhan invited the guests to sit down.

"Senior brother, what's the matter here?" Chu Qianhan asked directly.

The war is imminent, and mutual politeness is avoided.

Chu He said: "I'm here for the weapons. Except for the part of the previous transaction, we interrupt the additional order."

Before the enemy came, the Tianyuan people looked down on the gunpowder weapons produced by Qiongya, thinking they were too low-end. When they really encountered a big battle, they realized that the weapons were not enough.

When it comes to trading, Chu Qianhan is also in a dilemma, and he has nothing extra.

This time Shangguan Qing took the initiative to intervene and said: "Brother, forgive me, the previous contract was signed with the imperial court, 120 muskets, [-] rounds of bullets, [-] [-], and [-] flying bird missiles. Delivered every quarter Once, the last quarter has already been delivered, and this quarter has not yet reached the settlement date."

The quantity stipulated in the contract is only a guarantee number, all of them are traded at a fair price, and the price is negotiated once a year, and there are double-priced premium goods outside the contract. In the past, the imperial court wanted as much as they had. Single-shot guns are used to equip the peripheral guards.

During this period of time, the quality of weapons produced by the Beijing Firearms Bureau has been getting worse and worse. Chu Huaitian even beheaded a few craftsmen to no avail, and was about to die of worry.

Before Chu He came, he learned something about it. He knew that it was not easy to get equipment from Shangguan Qing, and he was ready to buy it at a high price. He also realized for the first time that those secular coins that are usually despised reach a certain amount. Great power.

He thought that if he had money, he could exchange it with valuable items, but after listening outside for a while, he heard that the production of weapons in Qiongya was not unlimited, and the distribution of weapons inside Qiongya was also restricted. He could buy There won't be many weapons available.

As soon as Shangguan Qing started talking, Chu He knew it was going to be bad.

Chu Qianhan would talk about affection when dealing with his family, but Shangguan Qing had no scruples at all, and all kinds of extortion were done by Shangguan Qing.The right to operate postal services from Jingcheng South Road to Qiongya, the construction right of Wujiangkou Wharf, the construction right of Dajiangkou Wharf, the sea road tax mortgage credit, etc.

At first Chu He couldn't understand it, but after listening to someone explain it, he understood the value of these rights.

Shangguan Qing managed all these into a big business worth hundreds of millions.

Chu He was thinking on the road, how can a person study the matter of making money so thoroughly, and he also obtained the knowledge inherited from Tiangong, but he really didn't understand it at all before being pointed out.

"Siblings, just say what you want." Chu He felt that it was very difficult to say.

"The war is imminent, and our weapons are not enough. The current plan is to increase production as much as possible. If the imperial court wants weapons beyond the contract, they need to exchange them with items. We need animal fat, sulfur, saltpeter, and paraffin, a total of 23 kinds of materials. I will make a list for my brother, and then plan to negotiate prices according to different material prices and stipulate the exchange ratio."

Shangguan Qing's brains turned sharply, and she already had a countermeasure.

"Is it okay to use cash? Pills and precious materials can also be exchanged." Chu He proposed another plan, and he took out a list to Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing looked at it, and found that it was full of precious materials needed for vitality cultivation, many of which were hard to find, but there were many listed on the list, it seemed that the Senate had spent a lot of money.

Shangguan Qing closed the list and shook her head: "Brother, forgive me."

"Siblings also discuss with junior brother." Chu He wanted to ask Chu Qianhan for help, but he was in a hurry.

Chu Qianhan looked down at his fingers and said nothing.

Shangguan Qing said: "The things on the list are indeed precious, but they cannot be turned into weapons, nor can they fill the stomachs of the people. I only want supplies."

Chu He turned his head and asked, "Is the food okay?"

"Brother, with all due respect, you are exchanging food for weapons now, and you will need to exchange those materials for food in the future. We can live by breathing in the world, but the people can't. Why not exchange the materials I want, as long as the supply of materials can be guaranteed, we To produce more weapons, a elixir on this list is worth less than smoldering coal."

"Need supplies?"

"It must be material."

"Siblings, look at this again." Chu He took out another list, all of which were Tianyuan-level treasures, including many Tiangong equipment.

Shangguan Qing closed the list, still shook her head and insisted, "I just want supplies."

Chu He felt that Shangguan Qing was crazy and didn't even want the Tiangong's equipment, these were the fundamentals to save his life.This kind of business can't be negotiated. The inventory of the Senate is not as good as these junk goods. Emperor Chu Huaitian will definitely not cooperate. It will be very troublesome to equip the private soldiers of the Senate.

It was Jiang Sixue who came over and stood aside, Shangguanqing asked what was the matter, Jiang Sixue replied: "My lord, my concubine, the share is over."

"Everyone is gone, and the results will be sent in seven days."

After Chu Qianhan gave the order, everyone did not dare to say anything and left one after another, leaving only a few people in the hall for chatting.

They didn't intend to change places, Shangguan Qing ordered someone to bring refreshments to continue the topic just now.

After leaving the palace, the two Patriarchs of Feng and Zheng walked side by side for a while, Patriarch Feng asked: "Did you hear what the concubine said clearly just now?"

"It's so transparent, I didn't see those people and stopped making trouble."

"The princess also said that a full box of gold, silver and jewelry can't fill my stomach. The next time we negotiate the price, the princess will ask us for food and supplies."

"It's better than being robbed by the court. It's a fair deal here, and the price is on the surface."

"Yes!"
