The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"We only need the armored mouse crossbow. If we don't give it, we will leave and go home!"

The envoys from various countries started to object one after another, and they almost had two words of displeasure written on their faces. Some envoys even let go of their cruel words. As long as the armored mouse crossbow is not sold by the Great Qin, they will not buy it. It is like the Great Qin Empire forced They buy the same.

They can understand this emotion. After all, the gap between the two short crossbows is too great. Three hundred steps were cut into one hundred steps, shortening a full two hundred steps. The distance between these two hundred steps is enough for soldiers to shoot ten more. several enemies.

Chang Zifei smiled disdainfully at the objections from the envoys of various countries. Under the disapproving eyes of everyone, Chang Zifei smiled disapprovingly and said, "You are not fools, and neither is Daqin. If Daqin sells the armored mouse crossbow to you, how can it be?" Instead of shooting yourself in the foot with a rock, can you guarantee that you will never be an enemy of Daqin forever?"

"The truth does not lie to you. Daqin is just worried that you will use the armored rat crossbow to deal with me, Daqin. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the interests between countries are even more elusive. For example, the good days of Qin and Jin were widely spread all over the world, but It was under such a good name that Daqin was stabbed in a muddleheaded way, and almost subjugated the country!"

"As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, Daqin has already suffered a loss once, and will never suffer a second time. The truth is put here today. Daqin only sells B-rat crossbows. You guys It is your freedom to buy or not to buy!"

Love to buy or not, if not buy get out!

The faces of the envoys from various countries were extremely ugly, and the father and son of the Chou family looked as if they had eaten shit.

Just say what you say, why bother with the Great Jin Empire!

"Ah..." The chief envoy of Yue, Zhang Yao, sighed heavily first, with a rather helpless expression on his face, he said: "May I ask Mr. Chang Xiang, what is the price of the B-rat crossbow?"

It's better than nothing, and it can be used with a hundred steps. Isn't the Xiongnu's swimming technique only a hundred steps?Still awesome.

The envoys of the various countries also stopped talking, yes, Daqin is not afraid of whether he buys it or not, it is better to buy it, it is better than nothing.

"Ten taels!" Chang Zifei said without thinking.

In fact, the cost of the short crossbow was not high, it was only fifty dollars. The reason why Chang Zifei said it was so high was because he wanted to make more money.

"What? Twelve taels!"

"A war horse is only ten taels, and a mere gadget sells for ten taels. Mr. Chang Xiang, are you too black-hearted, or the Great Qin court is too black-hearted!"

"Too expensive, too expensive!"

"Master Chang Xiang, you are going too far. We waited with great anticipation for the news from the Great Qin Court, but in the end we let them hear the news. Ten taels of silver, why not grab it!"

"Master Chang Xiang, are you treating us as fools, or is it the Great Qin court treating us as fools!"

Chapter 505 Selling ordnance!

As soon as they heard about ten taels and a handful of B-rat crossbows, all the envoys of the various countries exploded, and the envoys of the 28 princes were overshadowed. Too expensive.

Twelve taels is indeed very high. In the Qin Empire, it is compared to a young man's salary for one year, and in their country, it is even compared to a family's harvest in two or three years.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient!" Chang Zifei raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet. Seeing this, the envoys from various countries subconsciously closed their mouths and looked at Chang Zifei intently. They saw Chang Zifei's expression He smiled lightly:

"The truth is that the price of ten taels is really high, but do you know how much my Daqin spends on ordnance every year? You definitely don't know, now I tell you the truth, my Daqin spends 1000 million on ordnance every year Two silver!"

"What is the concept of 1000 million silver? Compared with the annual fiscal revenue of your country, my Daqin investment is so high, is it possible that I have to sell it to you at a loss? There is a saying that is good, who will do business at a loss!"

"Hey" Zhang Yaoxian, the chief envoy of Yue, sighed heavily again, and said with a hint of pleading in his eyes: "I can understand Daqin's difficulties, but can it be cheaper, it is too expensive!"

"The more you make it, it really can't be cheaper. The truth tells you that if you buy a short crossbow, you can definitely keep the Wei army out of the country. By the way, the truth wants to promise you one thing here. The crossbow made in Daqin It is absolutely impossible for the Yishu crossbow to be imitated!"

"So, you don't have to worry about the enemy capturing your short crossbows and imitating them to use against you. You can rest assured that only the Great Qin Empire can make short crossbows in the world!" Chang Zifei's face was full. promised with a bright smile.

"This....."

When the envoys of the various countries heard these words, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes, because the news that could not be imitated was not good news for them, so they wanted to buy some finished products and take them back to the empire for further investigation. Imitation, large quantities of equipment for the whole army!

If it cannot be imitated, it means that it can only be bought from Daqin, and if it is bought from Daqin, it means that it will cost more money!

Next, the envoys of the various empires expressed that they needed to submit a letter to their own court and could not make decisions without authorization. Chang Zifei understood this very well. The Yishu crossbow.

Some vassal states bought a thousand, some vassal states bought a hundred, the quantity was uneven, but on average, 28 vassal states each bought two hundred B-rat crossbows, the reason why these vassal states bought B-rat crossbows so readily Rat crossbow, because they have long been insecure.

The vassals are weak, and the weakness of the country makes them like ants. The empire can bruise them all over their bodies. Now that the B-rat crossbow gives them a sense of security, why not buy it? As for why they can make decisions without authorization, it is naturally because The chief envoys of the vassal states are all prime ministers, and they are fully capable of being the master.

Although the vassal states are weak, they can still get tens of thousands of taels of silver.

A Yishu crossbow cost ten taels, and a hundred Yishu crossbows cost 1000 taels. Calculated according to the average purchase of two hundred Yiraus crossbows in various countries, the 28 princes only sold 2000 taels of silver, and the total amount was 6000 taels of silver.

According to the rules, half of the deposit needs to be paid, which adds up to 8000 million taels of silver. After Chang Zifei collects the money, he will register them, and then let them stay in Xianyang City for a period of time. Send the Yishu crossbow to the Ministry of Rites and let them take it back by themselves. Daqin does not include delivery.

After this meeting ended, many imperial missions went back directly, such as the Great Shu Empire, the Great Xia Empire, the Great Chu Empire, and the Great Korean Empire. These four empires are located in the central part of Kyushu and are not threatened by the Wei Empire for the time being. It doesn't matter whether you buy the B-rat crossbow or not.

Moreover, their affiliated countries have all bought the B-rat crossbow, and they can take some from the affiliated country to study it and try to see if it can be imitated. These envoys who plan to imitate are all people who don't believe Chang Zifei's words.

At night, in the Ministry of Rites Hall, in a certain house!

In the house, Wei Tianlan, Qiao Rong, and Wei Shuyi were sitting at a table next to the wall. All three of them were silent and their eyebrows were slightly frowned. In the end, Qiao Rong was the first to break the silence, looking at the frowning Wei Tianlan and said: " Your Majesty, what shall we do?"

Since the people next door to this room had already left, Qiao Rong didn't have to worry about being heard, and directly called Wei Tianlan His Majesty.

"Oh." Wei Tianlan sighed softly, without saying a word.

The Great Qin Empire sold the B-rat crossbow to other countries, which really caught them off guard. Originally, they wanted to win Emperor Qin's favor through Wei Shuyi and buy the Qin army's armor-rat crossbow at a low price. Emperor Qin, if you say provocation, you can provoke it. We are happy to see this, but why did the Qin Empire force the Qin Empire to sell short crossbows? For this reason, the Qin Empire specially made a kind of B-rat crossbow.

Wei Tianlan knew very well that it was impossible to obtain the Jiashu Crossbow from the Qin Empire now, at most the B-rat Crossbow at a low price. Wei Tianlan really couldn't arouse the slightest interest in the efficacy of the B-rat Crossbow.

Wei Tianlan was silent for a while, then said expressionlessly: "How about this, you send someone back to Dayue, send someone to Zhongshan Kingdom to get some Yishu crossbows for research, and see if they can be imitated. If they can be imitated, we will There is no need to stay here anymore, if it is true what Qin Xiangchang Zifei said, it cannot be imitated, then we have to rely on Shuyi to please Emperor Qin and gain the greatest benefit for the Crown Prince!"

The 20 army of Taiwomen and the 30 army of Dayue add up to 30 troops. The 30 army needs 30 Yishu crossbows, and the 300 Yishu crossbows need 300 million taels of silver. For the empire, this is not a small number.

Da Yue's annual financial income is only 700 million taels of silver. Just buying 30 B-rat crossbows will consume half a year's fiscal revenue, and Da Yue can't support it.

"Obey!" Qiao Rong got up from the stool, saluted Wei Tianlan respectfully, and then walked out of the house to do what Wei Tianlan told her just now.

Not long after Qiao Rong left, Wei Shuyi looked at Wei Tianlan eagerly and asked, "Can I go see Chang Qing now?"

These days, she has been anxious and can't wait!

Hearing the words, Wei Tianlan couldn't help but fell into deep thought, thinking, the envoy of Wei has already left, and the envoys of various countries don't know when to leave, so it's not a bad idea to go now.

"Be careful!" Wei Tianlan exhorted softly with a solemn expression.

Chapter 506 Wei Shuyi has acted!

The voice fell, Wei Shuyi showed a smile on her face, and then quickly changed into a black brocade robe, put on a silver crown and silver hairpin, and disguised herself as a man. After changing her clothes, she couldn't wait to run out of the house. Wei Shuyi walked out of the house with her front feet, and Wei Tianlan walked out with her back feet However, he did not continue walking, but stood at the door of the house and silently watched Wei Shuyi leave.

"Oh..." Wei Tianlan shook his head and sighed bitterly, thinking to himself, what a poor princess, she ended up having to please others. After sighing, Wei Tianlan went back to the house, took off her shoes and lay on the bed, closed her eyes Eyes, Wei Tianlan suddenly thought of someone.

This man is handsome and unrestrained, with a majestic majesty in every gesture!

"Why would I miss him?"

Wei Tianlan was so frightened that she opened her eyes, her red and phoenix eyes were full of doubts, she didn't think too much, and she didn't sleep, but fell into deep thought, thinking whether the fate of the Great Moon Empire would be reversed because of Crown Prince Wei Gong.

She also has conditions for helping the crown prince Wei Gong, otherwise, how could she be so kind to help the crown prince Wei Gong raise soldiers and horses, and her condition is the land of the four counties north of the Great Yue Empire. Some people may ask, this is the interior of the Great Wei Empire. Dou, how did the Moon Empire acquire the land of the four counties of the Dayue Empire.

As I said before, the next step of the Great Wei Empire is to destroy Yue. According to Wei Shang's urgency, he will kill the Yue royal family just like the Jiwu royal family. To regain the throne, the Yue Empire, which had been destroyed by Wei Shang, would become a land without an owner. The Palace of Wei would hand over the four counties north of the former Great Yue Empire to the Empire of the Moon in accordance with the conditions previously agreed. In this way, the Palace of Wei would regain Taking the throne and avenging his father, the Moon Empire won the four counties north of the Dayue Empire without a single soldier.

Double win!

But this sounds good to say, but it is difficult to do. It is easy to talk about defeating Wei Shang. It is precisely because of this that Wei Tianlan decided to come to the Great Qin Empire in person, and try his best to increase the success rate of Wei Gong's success!

......

It was late at night, the stars were shining, and the moon was shining in the sky. Thousands of households put out the candlelight, and watchmen walked on the street and beat gongs and shouted, bringing sound to the quiet night.

On the east street of Xianyang City, it was dark at this time, the road was empty, and the silver-white moonlight shrouded the whole street. On this night-shrouded street, a man in brocade clothes and black robe was walking cautiously on the street. .

"stop!"

When the brocade-clothed black-robed man passed by the yamen of the Criminal Ministry, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the Criminal Ministry immediately scolded him. The brocade-clothed black-robed man tightened his body, looked up at the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate next to the Criminal Ministry, and ran straight to the Metropolitan Procuratorate without saying a word door.

The officers and soldiers at the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were about to chase after him, but when they saw the man in brocade clothes and black robe running to the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they stopped moving, but kept their eyes on the latter.

"stop!"

"Who are you, dare to trespass on the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

The two officers and soldiers of the Ming Division guarding the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate reached out their hands to stop the man in black robe in brocade, and scolded him. At the same time, they reached out and held the blade at their waist, as if they would kill him if he took a step forward. on the ground.

And this person in brocade clothes and black robes is Wei Shuyi who disguised herself as a man. Originally, according to the original plan, she went to the Chang Mansion to meet Chang Qing, but after inquiring about the news, I learned that Chang Qing usually did not return to the Chang Mansion for the night. He stayed overnight in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"My lord, please report to Mr. Du Yushi, saying that he is an old friend asking to see him!" Wei Shuyi said, looking at the two Ming Division officers and soldiers with a relatively indifferent expression.

As the Ninth Princess of the Great Wei Empire, although she didn't say that Mount Tai collapsed in front of her and she didn't change her face, she wasn't afraid to see officers and soldiers who were about to draw their swords.

"female?"

The two Ming Division officers and soldiers were taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Although Wei Shuyi disguised herself as a man, her voice could not be disguised, and the reason why Wei Shuyi disguised herself as a man was not to deceive the officers and soldiers that she was a man, but simply felt that it was a bit weird for a woman to walk on the street in the middle of the night.

"Xiao Liu, look at her!"

One Ming Division officer said something to another Ming Division officer, then quickly opened the door and walked into the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then closed the door again after walking in.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Division named Xiao Liu had a solemn expression, and looked at Wei Shuyi covetously, thinking, this girl looks good, why did she come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the middle of the night and yelled to see Lord Du Yushi, could it be this little girl Is it Lord Du Yushi's lover?Come here for an affair?

Xiao Liu, who had a big brain, began to think wildly, as far as the outrageous thoughts were, while Wei Shuyi stood there quietly, without saying a word. She seemed indifferent on the surface, with a calm demeanor, but in fact she was also Very nervous, because this is about revenge!

In the courtroom of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chang Qing was wearing a black golden pheasant Buzi official uniform and a jade inlaid official hat, and was at the top of the list. At this time, he was holding a thick book in his hand. This book was dedicated to recording corruption cases. The book records the history of corruption in Kyushu for more than 1000 years.

Every case in it is very detailed, and every corrupt official in it is also extremely shrewd. For example, the kiln is specially ordered to burn hollow bricks, and then melt gold and silver into them, and use them to build houses as a means of hiding dirty money.

And each case has a detailed record of the process of solving the case, and this history of corruption was written by Wei Guangming, the Minister of Criminal Affairs of the Great Wei Empire. Wei Guangming was a child of the Wei royal family.

Wei Guangming lived for a long time, a full 120 years. In the first 40 years, he traveled around Kyushu and other countries. In the next 20 years, he served as Minister of the Criminal Department of the Great Wei Empire. In the last 60 years, he wrote this book. This book has been hidden in the treasury of the Great Wei Empire. Here, the Ninth Princess Wei Shuyi secretly stole it from the treasury and gave it to him.

tread... tread...

There was a sound of footsteps, Chang Qing looked up, and saw a Ming Division officer striding into the courtroom, Chang Qing saw that it was a Ming Division officer, so he didn't care, and continued to look at the book in his hand, but his ears It has been erected, ready to listen to the report from the officer of Ming Division.

After the Ming Division officer walked to the center of the courtroom, he bowed down respectfully and made a report: "Master Yushi, there is a woman disguised as a man outside the door, saying that she is an old friend of yours, and she wants to see you ?”

Chang Qing frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, old friend?Where is my old friend!

Could it be her?impossible!too far!

Chang Qing put the thick book in his hand on the desk, looked at the Ming Division officers and soldiers expressionlessly and said, "Did she say her name?"

"Uh..." A look of panic appeared on the faces of Ming Division officers and soldiers, it's over, forget about it!

PS: "Please book in full!"

Chapter 507 Changqing's Shock!

In a hurry to come in and report, I forgot to ask the other party's name.

Chang Qing took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel helpless, she was really careless enough to forget even this.

Chang Qing hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Let her in, don't make an exception!"

He wanted to see who this disguised woman who called herself an old friend was!

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Division breathed a sigh of relief secretly, fortunately Lord Du Yushi didn't pursue it, otherwise, there would be a lot of suffering.

"Yes!" Ming Division officers and soldiers responded, and quickly turned and left.

After the officers and soldiers of the Ming Division left, Chang Qing was not in the mood to read anymore, and sat quietly on a chair waiting for the so-called old man. While waiting, he was also guessing who the old man was.

After a while!

Ming Division officers and soldiers led Wei Shuyi to the courtroom. When Chang Qing saw Wei Shuyi for the first time, he was stunned for a moment, his face full of disbelief. Wei Shuyi also had a complicated expression. Knowing that the two were old acquaintances, he immediately withdrew from the courtroom and left space for the two.

Chang Qing raised his hand and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After confirming that it was really Wei Shuyi, Chang Qing hurriedly got up from the chair, walked around the desk and walked in front of Wei Shuyi. The author saluted with a surprised expression: " Chang Qing has met Her Royal Highness Ninth Princess!"

Before Wei Shuyi could reply, Chang Qing continued to laugh and said, "Just now Chang Qing was still guessing who this old man is, and she also guessed the Ninth Princess, but I didn't expect it to be the Ninth Princess!"

The first person he thought of just now was Wei Shuyi, but he thought it was impossible, because Qin and Wei were too far away, thousands of miles away, and the road was dangerous, it was unlikely to come to Daqin, but the thing was so interesting, this self-proclaimed old friend The author was none other than Wei Shuyi!

Wei Shuyi forced a smile, and said with a wry smile: "Chang Qing, don't call me the Ninth Princess, I am not the Ninth Princess anymore, and now I am just a wanted traitor!"

Hearing this sentence, Chang Qing's expression became heavy, and he sighed softly: "I have heard about your experience in Daqin, and Chang Qing is both indignant and helpless about this, but it is a pity that His Royal Highness, the benevolent Prince Chu!"

Wei Shuyi lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Ninth Princess, sit down, let's sit down and talk!"

Chang Qing hurriedly asked Wei Shuyi to take a seat, Wei Shuyi was not polite, she just sat on the nearest chair, and Chang Qing also sat on the chair next to her, after the two sat down, they were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little bit Awkward.

Chang Qing turned her head to look at Wei Shuyi, and asked curiously: "Dare to ask how the Ninth Princess went to Qin?"
