Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

The purchase of ordnance is related to the future of the Zhaowu Army.

In order to discuss the matter with the Lan family, Li Zhao, Yang Zhi, and Wang Zichen came to Nanzheng.

Wang Zichen looked around, came over for a while, and said with emotion: "Ten years ago, I came to Nanzheng once, and I remember that the city was full of people at that time, and it was very lively. Ten years have passed, and the people in this city still feel less than before.

Li Zhao was a little surprised, he thought that Wang Zichen had been staying in Chang'an.

Yang Zhi chuckled and said, "This is all due to the stupidity of Wang Jing. Some shops have been closed, and the owners behind some shops have long been replaced by local tyrants. These Haoqiang had a good relationship with Wang Jing, so the officials did not dare to suppress them. Otherwise, there would be fewer people in the city.

"I don't know why, after coming to Nanzheng, I always think of Chang'an. Wang Zichen said casually.

Li Zhao smiled and said: "Zichen, don't worry, I will return to Chang'an sooner or later." "

Yang Zhi has lived half his life and has seen all kinds of people. Although Li Zhao concealed it well, Yang Zhi always felt that his smile was unnatural, and there was a faint trace of anger in it.

After the three of them arrived at the place, Yang Zhi said to the subordinates of the Lan Mansion: "My surname is Yang, and I have made an agreement with Steward Zheng before, and I will come to visit your mansion."

"Go to the back door and wait, someone will call you." "The subordinate has a cold attitude.

Yang Zhi frowned, "I have something important to discuss with Steward Zheng, please tell me on my behalf." "

Are you deaf? The servant scolded.

"Let's go to the back door. Li Zhao called back Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhilu scolded: "It's really a cheap thing that fights people."

Li Zhao was expressionless and didn't say anything.

The three of them came to the back door and saw that there were two more people in line in front of them.

Li Zhao waited until the evening before someone informed them to enter the mansion, and only Li Zhao was allowed to enter.

Under the leadership of his subordinates, Li Zhao met with Steward Zheng in the mansion.

"In Xia Li Zhao, I have seen Your Excellency. Li Zhao saluted.

Steward Zheng didn't greet Li Zhao, his attitude was a little arrogant, "I know very well your intentions, a long knife is twenty taels of silver, a spear is five taels, and a pair of armor is eighty taels, can you accept it? If you can't accept it, get out of here."

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Li Zhao's eyes, "The price is indeed a bit expensive, can it be cheaper, you can buy it in large quantities." For long knives alone, at least 10,000 are required. "

Huh........ You're fooling me. How can you have so much money if you stay in the mountains and forests all day?"

"If you don't believe me, I can pay part of the deposit first.

Steward Zheng's expression gradually became serious, and he asked again, "You really have so much money?" He just received the master of Dongfu Lingzhai, and the other party only needed two hundred long knives;

"Of course, I am willing to cooperate with your government for a long time. In order to show his sincerity, he was willing to purchase 1,000 long knives and 1,000 pairs of armor first. After receiving it, we will continue to purchase large quantities.

"Yes, but you want a little too much, and you won't be able to make it for a while.

"I'm willing to wait. After they are made, I hope your government can help and send them outside the city. "With so many ordnance, it is difficult for Li Zhao to transport them out of the city.

"Of course, you don't need to worry about that. "

...........

The two discussed for a long time, and agreed that Yang Zhi would be responsible for contacting the Lan family in the future.

After the matter was negotiated, Li Zhao and the three of them left Nanzheng immediately without delay.

On the way back, Yang Zhi said unhappily: "This Lan family is really greedy, a long knife actually costs so much money.

"Today's disgrace will be rewarded tenfold by him." Li Zhao was also uncomfortable in his heart, but he really didn't know where to buy so many ordnance? If he counted on Liu Yi's blacksmith shop, he would not be able to beat Hanzhong in his life. Lan is now willing to sell, and has the strength of mass production, no matter how much money, he can only accept.

"In the next suggestion, the marshal can recruit a group of craftsmen to build their own ordnance. Yang Zhidao.

"It's not easy, and I'll think about it in the long run when I go back.

Wang Zichen glanced at Li Zhao, his brows furrowed slightly, some things seemed to be different from what he thought.

..........................................

At night, in the study of the head of the family, Lan Wenjian, Steward Zheng talked in detail about the day's events.

Lan Wenjian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Interesting! With so many long knives and armor, these people have a lot of plans!"

"Yes, I was surprised at first. "

A couple of workshops sped up and helped them build. But there is a condition, you can only buy ordnance from the Lan family. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Lan Wenjian didn't care what Li Zhao was going to do, in his opinion, no matter how much ordnance Li Zhao bought, he would not be able to avoid the fate of defeat in the end; What's more, he is a businessman, and it is natural to make money. As long as someone buys it, there's no reason not to sell it.

Steward Zheng's expression was slightly hesitant, "Lord Wang, naturally he won't say anything." It's just that General Chu and General Shi seem to have noticed something. They had already approached Lord Wang and demanded that the source of the weapons in the hands of the mountain bandits be strictly investigated.

Lan Wenjian's face was displeased, and he said coldly: "In Nanzheng City, it's not just my Lan family who is doing such a thing. You don't have to worry about it, I have my own way.

"Yes. "
