Entertainment Qin Shi

Chapter 160
War horses and refined iron are both controlled products, and it is impossible for any country to sell them on a large scale, because they often represent the national strength of a country.

War horses represent chariots and cavalry. No matter how bad they are, they can also escort food, grass and luggage. There is no doubt about its importance, but fine iron is even more critical. Nowadays, the weapons of various countries have gradually changed from bronze to iron, and the most representative one is the Yan Kingdom And Zhao Guo, followed by Qin, Qi, Chu, and finally South Korea.

Because of the scarcity of land in South Korea, there are very few resources and manpower, not to mention the so-called war horses and refined iron.

Of course, South Korea doesn't care either.

In this embarrassing position, apart from occasionally being able to bully country bumpkins in the land of Baiyue with the big brothers from various countries, or jointly attacking Qin and fighting against the wind, most of the time, South Korea is on the defensive side and dare not send troops to attack other countries. , Naturally, there is no need for a large number of horses to develop cavalry.

Even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the strength.

This is how Korea survives.

As for ironware, all countries are developing. Although ironware is limited by forging technology, it is not as mature as bronze ware, but it cannot be supported by its abundant resources, cheapness, durability, and hardness!
It is for this reason that agricultural tools in various countries are all made of iron.

Yan Guo also eliminated the bronze wares because of this. Of course, the most important reason is the terrain, so that it does not lack such strategic resources at all, and it is not afraid of coveted by other countries. This is obviously not the envy of South Korea. The younger brother in the Seven Kingdoms is not joking. , the geographical location is comparable to that of Wei, and it can be called a difficult brother.

If there are really good things, how can we keep them!
Zhao Jia has learned a lot about these things recently, and he has some ideas because of this. He has too many forging technologies ahead of this era in his mind. The steel frying method alone is enough to change the weapon pattern of this era.

Enough to outlaw bronzes altogether.

Of course, Zhao Jia doesn't think that a method of frying steel can change anything. If you want to develop industry, you need someone with time and resources.

This span is at least three to five years, or even ten years, and Zhao Jia must sit in a high position and control the overall situation. Right now, he obviously does not have this condition, and he does not want to make a wedding dress for Qin, so naturally he has to be tactful.

Let's save some money first.

The Emerald Tiger naturally understood what Zhao Jia said meant. Businessmen from all over the world would dare to touch what the other party said. If no country supported them, any businessman who dared to put his hand on it would die without knowing it. how to die.

He was very clear about this and was very rational, so his expression returned to normal after being shocked for a while.

The smiling tiger didn't answer Zhao Jia's question, but instead looked at Zi Nu with small eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss Zi Nu, please go out and prepare some delicious food. I want to entertain you tonight."

The current topic is obviously not suitable for Zi Nu, an outsider, to know about. Even if an agreement is really reached with Zhao Jia tonight, Zi Lanxuan may not be erased from Xinzheng.

At this moment, he thought a lot.

"It's useless, Miss Zi Nu is mine."

Zhao Jia smiled, shifted his gaze from the jade cup to the emerald tiger, and said softly.

Emerald Tiger was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in surprise: "Oh? Could it be that Zi Lanxuan is also related to the young master, this villain has never heard of it."

He has heard that there is a descendant of Guigu behind Zilanxuan, but he has never inquired about the others. Could it be that the descendant of Guigu has already taken refuge in the person in front of him? The other party may have already deployed in South Korea a few years ago.

Thinking of this, Emerald Tiger's heart tightened, and its hairs stood on end.

I have to say that brain supplementation is terrible.

A look of astonishment flashed across Zi Nu's deep and charming purple eyes, she gave Zhao Jia a coquettish look, and patted Zhao Jia's shoulder with her slender fingers: "Master, you really like to joke, how could the little girl ever belong to you, both of you?" Let's talk, I'll take my leave first."

As she said that, she wanted to turn around and leave, but she never thought that Zhao Jia's dog's paws would come over, grab her soft hand, and pull it into her arms with a little force.

Zi Nu's arms tightened, and she wanted to resist, but thinking of the conversation between Zhao Jia and Jade Tiger, the idea of ​​resistance was instantly suppressed.

With such hesitation, she was undoubtedly pulled into Zhao Jia's arms, with her big hands clinging to her slender waist.

The fiery hands made Zi Nu's body tense, her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhao Jia, but fortunately Zhao Jia didn't go too far.

He looked down at Zi Nu's beautiful purple eyes, and smiled lightly: "Isn't it a matter of time? You just stay and listen, and give me advice by the way, maybe you will need to be responsible for this business in the future."

"?!"

After these words fell, both Zi Nu and Jade Tiger were shocked.

Zi Nu was surprised by what Zhao Jia said.

Emerald Tiger was certain that Zi Lanxuan had something to do with Zhao Jia.

"Sit down and talk."

While Zhao Jia was talking, he walked towards the wine table with his arms around Zi Nu, acting as if he was taking the lead. Naturally, Emerald Tiger had no objection to this. He gave the maid beside him a look, and then followed Zhao Jia.

"Young master, please~"

The Emerald Tiger respectfully invited Zhao Jia to take a seat, and then knelt down opposite him, his posture was a little more formal than the casual one before.

Without him, if all his guesses are correct, then the eldest son of Zhao State in front of him is undoubtedly more terrifying than Ji Wuye. The status of the other party is placed here. If the other party can inherit the throne of Zhao State in the future, then... dare not Think more.

Zi Nu obediently sat down with Zhao Jia, she also wanted to see what tricks Zhao Jia could come up with.

"When I was young, I had a teacher, Li Mu, the general of Zhao State. You should know his prestige in Zhao State's frontier fortress. I can write a book. As long as you can contact him, it should not be a problem if you want a batch of high-quality war horses. , As for Jingtie, there is no rush, it depends on your ability first."

Zhao Jia looked at the Emerald Tiger peacefully, without any sense of nervousness about discussing important matters, only a kind of calmness and composure.

As for whether Li Mu will agree to this matter, Zhao Jia thinks it is not a big problem, because the frontier army of Zhao State is too miserable, most of the time they are self-sufficient, and satisfy themselves by plundering Hu people. To be honest, Zhao State is Among the Seven Kingdoms, the country that has the least shortage of war horses, especially after Zhao Wuling Wang Hufu's riding and archery reform, the entire Zhao Kingdom's army is extremely good at riding and shooting!
This is also the reason why Zhao Guoneng confronted Qin Guo head-on.

It's a pity that the Battle of Changping... don't mention it.

As for the inflow of war horses into South Korea, which has enhanced the national power of South Korea...Even if a child has a knife, it is still a child.

Of course, the main reason is that there is no dispute between South Korea and Zhao, and the relationship has always been good. In the past, Big Brother Zhao helped South Korea’s younger brother a lot. Unfortunately, after the Battle of Changping, Zhao Guo was too busy to take care of himself. How could he have the strength to help South Korea? He is not even interested in forming an alliance, for fear of being targeted by Qin.

In addition, Zhao Wangyan is also an egomaniac, it is impossible to form an alliance, I am invincible!

Therefore, even if Zhao Wangyan found out about this matter, it would not be too much trouble. Of course, the premise is that the appetite of God of War Guo Kai is satisfied, so that he does not hold back.

"Ability? Please speak clearly, my lord?"

The Emerald Tiger's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice.

Zhao Jia said unhurriedly: "I can provide you with a relationship, but it happened in Zhao State at this time, no matter how hard it is, it is impossible to hide it from Zhao State's eyes and ears, but with the relationship between Korea and Zhao, my King Father will not be too furious when he knows about this matter, the premise is that you have to convince the prime minister, Guo Kai, and this matter can only be done in secret, it is best not to make a scene known to the world, otherwise, it will be difficult for Qin State to explain it.”

He needs to rely on South Korea's manpower to establish a relationship with Li Mu, so that he can proceed to the next step.

As for those people in Handan, many of them are Zhao Jia's elders, and they value him very much. Unfortunately, Handan is the territory of Guo Kai and others, so it doesn't make much sense to intervene rashly, so let's start with Li Mu. Even better, we can unite with Yandan in the future.

Yan Guo's iron ore is quite good, and it is worth sucking a wave of blood.

"Guo Kai?"

Emerald Tiger's eyes flashed, he hesitated for a moment, he naturally knew who Guo Kai was, and knew more about the hostile relationship between Zhao Jia and Guo Kai.

That Guo Kai is the teacher of the current Prince Qian, and even the Prime Minister of Zhao!

"In Shangyanshang, I only provide connections for this matter, and I hide it behind the scenes. On my father's side, my teacher Li Mu is in charge, and on Guo Kai's side, you need to clear the way yourself. Although this matter has nothing to do with Guo Kai Big, but this person is narrow-minded, greedy for money and profit, if you don't give him certain benefits, he will definitely make small moves."

Zhao Jia said calmly.

This matter seems to be cooperating with Emerald Tiger, but it is actually cooperating with Ji Wuye, it depends on whether Ji Wuye dares or not.

But with Ji Wuye's character, he must be willing. No general can refuse a war horse. Regardless of Yemu's cooperation with Luo Wang, as long as Zhao Jia can give greater benefits, he can let Yemu call him daddy!

Emerald Tiger now understands that Zhao Jia is not doing business with him, the other party wants to represent Zhao Guo in doing business with South Korea, it should be a cooperation, but he is afraid of Qin Guo, so he spared such a big circle,

Could it be that the opponent's dismissal of the crown prince was just a game? !
wrong!

Guo Kai is the teacher of Prince Qian, and it is well known that Zhao Wangyan dotes on the queen and concubine.

The Emerald Tiger pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Young master, such a big matter, a villain can't be the master."

If it really involved the cooperation between Han and Zhao, how could he, a merchant, be in charge. In the final analysis, among the four evil generals, he had the lowest status and was just a special pawn.

"Then ask someone who can be the master."

Zhao Jia said softly.

"Little man understands!"

The Emerald Tiger got up slowly, saluted Zhao Jia respectfully, and then wanted to leave, but when he saw the maid holding the brocade box, he hesitated a little, looked at Zhao Jia, and said with a naive smile: "Master, come far away. In South Korea, it’s impossible to have no one around to serve you, so this girl will be given to the son.”

"it is good."

Zhao Jia glanced at the beautiful maid whose hand was severed in the original novel, and nodded.

This woman has good looks and figure, and it would be nice to take her back to be a maid for the startled salamander. As for whether the other party is a spy arranged by the Emerald Tiger, he is really not worried about it. Li Wu can easily suppress someone like the maid in front of her, not to mention Da Si Ming, Jing Xi and others.

Those women in his fish pond are all the cruelties in the ocean!

Zhao Ji, who has the simplest temperament, has an extremely terrifying status.

Emerald Tiger saw that Zhao Jia did not hesitate to take it, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He became more confident in Zhao Jia's confidence, cupped his hands again, turned and left.

After the Emerald Tiger left, only Zhao Jia, Zi Nu, and a trembling maid were left in the house.

"The little girl will not disturb the young master's elegant mood~"

Zi Nu glanced at the maid, and then got up to leave. As for testing Zhao Jia, the conversation between Zhao Jia and Jade Tiger had already revealed too much, so she had to go back and have a good chat with Wei Zhuang. If her guess was right, Perhaps something big is about to happen in South Korea.

And this young master of Zhao Guo in front of him, what kind of situation the other party will stir up is really unpredictable.

"You are by my side is the greatest pleasure."

Zhao Jia stretched out his hand to grab Zi Nu, held it firmly, and said with sincere eyes.

"Young master's matter, the little girl dare not participate."

Zi Nu struggled for a while, looked at Zhao Jia helplessly, and said softly: "The little girl only wants to manage this Zi Lan Xuan, but she dare not participate in the transactions of you big men."

"Okay, stop pretending, let Wei Zhuang come out."

Zhao Jia smiled when he heard this, and said directly.

"?!"

Zi Nu blinked her eyes, the charming smile on her face suddenly subsided, her delicate and beautiful eyes were slightly lowered, and she said in a low voice: "Master, do you know?"

"Gai Nie, another descendant of Guigu, is a sword master beside Qin Wangzheng, do you think I know?"

Zhao Jia looked at Zi Nu with a smile, and blinked, a little mischievously.

Zi Nu didn't find it interesting, she looked at the hand held by Zhao Jia with beautiful eyes, and said angrily: "The young master has been teasing me these days?"

"I'm serious. Compared with these trivial matters, meeting you is the biggest reward for me in Korea. I am very happy to meet you."

Not only did Zhao Jia not let go, but he clenched his hand a little bit, and said seriously.

Zi Nu looked at Zhao Jia's very deceptively handsome face, and felt a little twitched for a while, but reason kept her extremely calm, and the smile on the corner of her mouth did not diminish, and she joked: "Young master, the little girl is getting more and more serious now. I can't believe it."

"I never lied to you."

Zhao Jia let go of his hand, and if he continued to hold it, it would be a bit hooligan, but since Zi Nu didn't resist his physical contact, it already showed that the other party had a good impression of him.

Zi Nu withdrew her hand gracefully, glanced at Zhao Jia with a smile in her beautiful eyes, twisted the water snake's waist, pointed the peach at Zhao Jia, and walked out of the house.

The scorching heat in Zhao Jia's eyes flashed away.

Treating beautiful women with feelings proves that he is a man, and restraint represents quality.

He looked at the maid holding the brocade box, and asked, "What's your name?"

"If you go back to the son, the slave girl Hua Ruo."

Hua Ruo lowered her head and said respectfully, she didn't dare to look up into Zhao Jia's eyes.

"Hua Ruo? Good name."

Zhao Jia made a comment.

……

……

On the other side, the Emerald Tiger urged the carriage towards the General's Mansion.
