Facing the angry emperor, Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes sharpened. "Your Majesty, that was the quotation in the past. Now affected by the war, costs in all aspects are increasing.
The price of thirty high-grade spiritual stones is already a sincere price.
Currently, Zhangjiadu sells black iron specially used for alchemy, and the price in some places has reached as high as 50 high-grade spiritual stones. "
"Oh" The emperor nodded slowly, "What about the steel? Although it looks good, I heard that at least 20,000 legions in your country have completely changed their equipment. I think the price of this steel should be very low, right?"
"Your Majesty, the twenty thousand legions are divided into two parts. The first part is the legion of the royal family of the Kingdom of Qixia. In exchange for the arms of these ten thousand people, the Kingdom of Qixia successively rewarded the Zhang family with eight towns of land. It is almost a piece of land. Territory with a radius of 300 miles.
The second part is the 10,000 civilian armed forces of the Dayang Group. In order to support this army, the Dayang Group has done its best. The Dayang Group includes almost half of the civil forces in Qixia Country.
??In other words, in order to arm the 20,000 legions, the Qixia Kingdom almost emptied their wealth. "
"Ohhow much did your Zhang family earn?"
Zhang Hao's face suddenly became serious: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. At this time of crisis, the Zhang family dare not speak out for benefits."
The emperor nodded affirmatively: "The artillery you provided is good. But the price of five hundred thousand is still too high. And the artillery is made of steel, so it doesn't cost fifty thousand high-grade spiritual stones! Five hundred thousand is an exaggeration. point."
Zhang Hao said loudly: "Your Majesty, the reason why artillery is expensive does not lie in the materials used, but in the processing technology and its effect.
The material cost of the artillery is just over a ton of steel. The cost price does not exceed 50,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
The most precious thing about artillery is its processing technology. Knowing how to make this product is far more expensive than the cost price. This is worth 300,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
Finally, there is the battlefield effect of artillery. Its effect, especially in boosting morale, far exceeds that of war weapons in the traditional sense. This is worth 150,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
Therefore, the artillery price is 500,000 high-grade spiritual stones, which is a reasonable price. "
The emperor frowned slightly, but had to nod: "What you said makes sense. But it's not enough to convince me to accept such an expensive price."
Zhang Hao was already prepared: "Your Majesty, one of the core technologies of artillery is the barrel; Dayang Group can also sell the barrel separately.
Now that your country already has the blueprints, I believe that your country¡¯s foundation can fully replicate the complete artillery. "
"What's the price of the barrel?"
"80,000 high-grade spiritual stones."
"Ohthe price is about the same. If we trade with elixirs, we can get a 10% discount, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Hao frowned slightly, and he found that he was at a disadvantage.
The emperor stopped talking, but looked at Huang Shaoxian; Left Prime Minister Huang Shaoxian said to Zhang Hao: "Master Zhang, let's talk about the price of the elixir now. Hey, the country of Canglan is also very nervous now."
Zhang Hao's heart sank slightly, but he just looked at Huang Shaoxian without speaking or making any expression.
Huang Shaoxian continued: "I heard that the Peiyuan Pill in the Kingdom of Qixia has increased to one hundred spirit stones, and the slightly better Foundation Establishment Pill has increased to five thousand spirit stones. Is this true?"
Zhang Hao glanced at Fu Yun, but still had to nod.
Huang Shaoxian smiled: "Master Zhang, look, our Peiyuan Pill is priced at 80 spirit stones and the Foundation Establishment Pill is priced at 3,000 spirit stones. How about it?"
Zhang Hao's heart skipped a beat, and then he became furious; but in the next moment, Zhang Hao calmed down: "Prime Minister Zuo is joking. If you really want to buy it at this price, I'm afraid that before the Kingdom of Jinyang attacks, the Kingdom of Qixia will It¡¯s unsustainable.¡±
"Ha, I was just joking. Let's see, we are indeed in a difficult situation, but we can't treat our friends badly. So the price of this elixir should continue to be the price before the war.
The Peiyuan Pill costs 20 spirit stones, the Foundation Establishment Pill costs 1,000 spirit stones, and the other pills remain at their original prices.
How about it? "
Zhang Hao frowned and spoke slowly: "What Zuo Xiang did was unreasonable. The Zhang family's black iron is almost always supplied at cost price, which is lower than the price of black iron from Kunlun Continent. And Zuo Xiang's quotation is still expensive . It is difficult for Qixia Country to pay now!"
Huang Shaoxian's expression suddenly changed, and the smile on his face instantly turned sinister, even a little ferocious. "Master Zhang, although I am not in business, I know that business cannot be separated from the country.
In the current Qixia country, except for our country of Canglan, who is willing to?In addition to lending a helping hand, are there any other countries that are willing?
I don¡¯t dare to say none, but it¡¯s probably very few!
To put it bluntly, the Qixia Kingdom now has little power to fight. Apart from relying on external support, it will be difficult to last.
"If you want to develop towards the sea, there is actually no other way. You will be driven into the sea!"
"When you talk about opening up a road to the ocean, you just want to be a turtle in the sea!" "
"Haha" All the officials around laughed.
Zhang Hao¡¯s face was livid, and veins popped out in the hand holding the wine glass. Zhang Hao wanted to roar and kill, but he had to sit here and quietly listen to the ridicule around him.
At this moment, a sentence suddenly appeared in Zhang Hao¡¯s mind: A weak country has no diplomacy!
Yes, this is not a deal or diplomacy at all. I am hereto ask for help!
Zhang Hao is very reluctant to admit it, but he has to admit it. It is a very painful realization to admit that you are here for help and that you are inferior to others.
Amid laughter, Huang Shaoxian continued: "Let's talk about our country of Canglan. Master Zhang doesn't really think that our country of Canglan is in danger, right?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? That¡¯s impossible! This is the difference between a small country and a big country.
So far, the country of Canglan has not lost an inch of land, and all the levels are intact.
The country of Jinyang is actually unable to advance eastward, and the pressure on us is almost non-existent. From the beginning of the defense of the Kingdom of Jinyang to now, we have not added a single soldier on the western front.
There were also several warlords from the Kingdom of Shaoze who attacked, but these warlords were unable to follow up. Until now, their combat effectiveness has begun to decline.
The only threat is the country of Langya in the east. But Langya Country is also an ant on the hot pot now. They occupy the more than 300,000 troops in Qianlong Port, but they are unable to advance or retreat!
It¡¯s not that we can¡¯t defend Qianlong Port, but we took the initiative to let it go. Three hundred thousand elites from Langya Kingdom were trapped.
So far, we have won the initiative in the battle with Langya Kingdom.
In addition, in the east of the Langya Kingdom, there is also the "Southern Tang Kingdom". Just the day before yesterday, we had established contact with the country of Southern Tang. It is expected that in about half a month, the Kingdom of Southern Tang will send troops to attack the Kingdom of Langya.
We have already discussed that in the future we will send troops together to destroy the Langya Kingdom, each of us will share half of it! "
Zhang Hao was stunned. He suddenly discovered that poverty limited his imagination. Well, to be precise, I have been wandering around this corner of Qixia Country, forgetting the vastness of the outside world.
In this vast world, war has never been a matter between one or two countries. Every war is a game between several countries, or even more countries.
What Huang Shaoxian said may be a bit exaggerated, but it will never be outspoken.
Zhang Hao felt that Qianlong Port was not thrown away by the Canglan Kingdom on its own initiative, but a choice made out of necessity. However, Qianlong Port was also used to the extreme, trapping 300,000 elites from the Langya Kingdom¡ª¡ª Of course, Zhang Hao was skeptical about how many elites there actually were.
But no matter what, Zhang Hao agrees with one thing: the country of Canglan is not in danger of being destroyed. Therefore, the country of Canglan can develop slowly; but the country of Qixia cannot!
But Zhang Hao did not give up. He endured his anger and tried his best to gain enough benefits. And Zhang Hao also has some reasons. Once the west is unified by the Kingdom of Jinyang, it will also be a disaster for the Kingdom of Canglan.
Finally, Zhang Hao said to Huang Shaoxian: "A unified and powerful country in Jinyang will never be content with being ordinary!"
Huang Shaoxian paused for a moment, looked at the emperor for the last time, and finally nodded to Zhang Hao: "How about this? The price of the elixir will remain unchanged. This is a national policy that cannot be changed. But for every 100 elixirs, we will give away 10 additional ones of the same type. ."
"make a deal!"
So a deal that was later filled with controversy was signed. What will be disputed in the future is not the price, but the calculation of the discount:
The Zhang family promised to trade the elixir at a 10% discount on the price;
??And the Kingdom of Canglan stated that for every 100 pills, 10 more pills will be given away, which is 110 pills.
So the question is, who has the biggest discount (concession)? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
