Please ask me to be the emperor

When Wang Qingzhi saw Zhang Shun, he was also stunned. He never expected that the famous "King Shun" would turn out to be "Optimus Prime" himself.

After the two parties decided on the host and guest and sat down, Wang Qingzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that Wang rode a donkey to look for donkeys, asked for connections and favors, but it turned out to be old acquaintances."

Zhang Shun couldn't help but laugh, and asked: "In the past, when we were separated from Runcheng, where did Qingzhi make a fortune? Are you all well?"

When Zhang Shun captured Runcheng before, he met Wang Qingzhi, and the two of them discussed the sale of firearms. However, later on, rebels moved back and forth, and Zhang Shun's nickname was changed from "Optimus Prime" to "King Shun", and there was no contact between the two sides.

After two years of training, Wang Qingzhi's temperament is quite different from before. Except for the fact that his face is pale, his steps are sloppy, and he still looks like he has been drained of alcohol and wine.

Wang Qingzhi saw that Zhang Shun was not as hard to get in touch with as rumored, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's okay, I'm still responsible for the resale of grain and ordnance in Xuanda! I don't know what happened to this unfortunate world. I am a smuggler and you are a bandit." Boss, everyone’s business is booming, and we all have a bright future!”

Zhang Shun was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Not to mention how well I did, you, a second-hand dealer, only sold a town's worth of military supplies. How much can you have?"

"King Shun, don't underestimate Xiao Ke's business. It can be resold, ranging from red cannons to cloth, grain and cotton. If they really can't even sell these, I can help them resell them with conscience. Sell ​​your master, sell your country!"

"As a businessman, as long as someone dares to sell and someone dares to buy, why wouldn't I do it?"

"That's really unscrupulous!" Zhang Shun didn't know what to say, so he could only shake his head and said, "As a bandit leader, I feel that many things I do are still rough. But I didn't expect that in comparison, Chaoting Gun Lord Gon actually doesn’t even have the lower limit.”

"It's upside down and yin and yang are reversed. If the world can't change hands, then it's called being unreasonable!"

Wang Qingzhi has lived in Xuandabian Town for a long time and has a deep understanding of the corruption and darkness in it. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "I know that King Shun knew the soldiers and killed Tong Yin and Chen Qiyu of Song Dynasty. He is famous in the world. In fact, in my opinion, King Shun is not a good fighter!"

Zhang Shun was very interested when he heard this and couldn't help but ask: "In your opinion, who is good at fighting? Did Cao Wen's imperial edict? Man Gui?"

Since the Shaanxi rebel uprising, Cao Wenzhao has killed and injured countless rebels and dyed his crimson official robe red. And Na Mangui was generous and heroic in the battle of Ningjin, and both of them were called "good generals".

I never thought that when Wang Qingzhi heard this, he smiled and shook his head and said: "These two people are like King Shun. They both lead elite soldiers, have good food and weapons, and don't care about life and death. They are mediocre people. As for those who are good at using soldiers, Xuanda Da at that time The generals of the two towns are all short of pay and troops; they resell arms and food, the soldiers are not full of food, and their weapons are not skilled. They face the Northern and Eastern Tartars without changing their expressions. They claim to be great and have not lost. They can be famous generals in the world!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help crying or laughing when he heard this. The general of Xuanda was so black that he couldn't even see his fingers. However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt horrified and frightened.

No wonder the Ming Dynasty fought against Mongolia and Hou Jin Dynasty. Small-scale battles were often unsuccessful, but once large-scale battles occurred, they were completely defeated.

When the relationship is small and the scale of the battle is small, they can still make up for it and barely support it. Once the scale expands, the empty pay and troops under the generals cannot be made up, and the gap between the two sides is revealed. Having nothing to say, Zhang Shun could only praise: "Talent!"

The two chatted for a long time. In this era, people were not very interested in keeping secrets, so Zhang Shun took the opportunity to get some information out.

It was only then that Wang Qingzhi got down to business and asked: "Now I have brought two hundred blunderbuss, a thousand quick-fire spears and three-eyed blunderbuss, one hundred thousand catties of gunpowder, and thirty thousand shi of grain. I wonder what price King Shun wants to give me?" "

"The bird gun is worth one tael of silver per shot, the gunpowder is one cent and five cents per kilogram, and the grain is one stone and one tael per shot. The rest of the quick guns and the three-eyed gun are worth four cents of silver per shot. I wonder what Qingzhi thinks?"

Wang Qingzhi frowned when he heard this and said: "The cost of the bird gun was only nine yuan, but I made a profit. But I lost money on the quick gun, three-eyed gun and food."

"I know you don't like fast guns and three-eyed guns. If you lose, you will lose. I admit it. But the price of food here is not as good as in the mainland. The cost of transporting food thousands of miles is only about one, two, three or four yuan."

Zhang Shun heard the words and said with a smile: "Qingzhi is one of our own, and I am not afraid to tell you the truth. The price of this grain was originally about one tael of silver, and it was worth the autumn harvest, so silver is expensive and grain is cheap. In addition, now everyone has to pay attention to the price of grain." I, King Shun, have gathered in Luoyang to buy grain. If I were willing to lower the price, I might not be able to buy it for only seven or eight coins."

"Now that I am willing to give you one or two cents, it is considered a good relationship. What's more, it is all about selling military rations and ordnance, so what is the cost?"

When Wang Qingzhi heard this, he knew that Zhang Shun was not a person who was ignorant of business transactions, and the price he gave him was considered favorable.

He made a rough calculation in his mind for a long time, and then responded: "Since King Shun has spoken, Qingzhi will sell King Shun a favor and offer thirty-eight thousand one hundred taels of silver. I will give you a zero, and you will pay me thirty-eight thousand." A thousand taels will make it."

"In addition, I will give you another hundred dendrobiums of lead, large and small, which will be enough for you for several months. I just hope that if King Shun has business again in the future, please never forget Qingzhibensi."

Doing business is all about hello and me and hello to everyone. Zhang Shun was very happy to see Wang Qingzhi recognize him, so he agreed and asked his subordinates to take over the handover.

Now that the official discussion was over, Zhang Shun suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and asked casually: "I wonder how the military rations are doing in the Second Town of Datong, Xuanfu? I wonder if they can still be sold in the future?"

Wang Qingzhi was quite familiar with this, and responded casually: "The Xuan Mansion collects about 130,000 shi of grain a year, and the Datong government collects about 70,000 shi of grain in a year. The total is about 200,000 shi. As for whether to continue selling it, I have decided No, I have to wait until I return to Xuanda University to see what you gentlemen have to say!"

Wang Qingzhi is just a businessman, so naturally he doesn't know the key. As the head coach, Zhang Shun knew the number was wrong as soon as he heard it.

He asked strangely: "How can we feed so many soldiers with only 200,000 shi of food?"

Wang Qingzhi only said that Zhang Shun didn't understand, so he smiled and said: "How can it be possible? If these were all, wouldn't the frontier army have rebelled long ago? In addition, there are also two hundred pieces of silver per year, silver from salt, and two hundred silver per year. More than 10,000 yuan is barely enough."

Zhang Shun was so shrewd that he immediately understood the drawbacks. There is less food and more silver in the border areas. If there is a shortage of food, wouldn't it mean that the world would be in chaos? Not to mention that the border troops secretly smuggled food to Mongolia and Houjin.
