After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 186
Tian Chang came to visit that night, and after the meeting, he said with some dissatisfaction on his face.

"How can the Marquis of Han treat one another so favorably? My Tian clan and the Marquis of Han have always had a good relationship. How come the Marquis of Han asked Guo clan for help instead of my Tian clan for such a big matter as buying and selling armor?"

For Tian Chang's questioning, Meng Di had already responded, so he said with a smile.

"Because the Guo clan and the Gao clan have a good relationship, this way they can persuade the Marquis of Qi to live in peace with our Han country. This king, Mr. Tian, ​​you can also imagine that if the Qi country defeats the Jin country in the future."

"In order to show force to the outside world, it is very likely that we will attack the Han country. Now that the army is about to be dispatched, there is not much time left for this king, so I can do this helpless thing. Please forgive me, Mr. Tian."

In fact, this time Tian Chang didn't really come to ask questions. After knowing the result of today's sword test, Tian Qi and his son got together to discuss for a long time. They wanted to buy ironware privately to enhance their strength.

Unexpectedly, soon there was news that Meng Di actually asked the Guo family to sell iron armor and weapons to the Qi State. This made Tian and his son unable to sit still, so after listening to Meng Di's explanation Afterwards, Tian Chang did not question, but said.

"Then I, Mrs. Tian, ​​also want to buy a batch of armor. I wonder how much Hanhou can sell here?"

Hearing this, Meng Di showed some helplessness on his face, and said after thinking for a long time.

"If this is the case, the king will give up to [-] sets per month. As long as Tian can pay enough money, then naturally he will ask for as much as he wants."

To expand production requires a lot of money. Although armor and weapons are precious, with the improvement of smelting technology, it is very likely that steel knives and steel armor will be refined in the future.

And as long as sales are controlled so that Qi cannot equip troops in large quantities, then Mengdi can maintain its own advantages, and can even establish good relations with other vassal states in this way, which can ease the pressure on Han. Disadvantage.

After Tian Chang listened thoughtfully, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked in a discussing tone.

"Could it be possible to increase it a little more, say fifty sets per month? Thirty sets is too little, and the waiting time is too long. The expedition is about to begin. At least my generals of the Tian family must have one manpower." Set it up?"

Tian is well-known for raising scholars in Qi State, among other things, it will take about a year to give him those bonuses per person, but on this issue, Meng Di has no interest in giving in.

This opening can't be opened, Tian Chang may not be probing, so he just refused.

"If the State of Qi buys armor, then it can only give so much to the Tian family. Of course, if the production of evil gold increases in the future, this king can naturally increase it, but I hope that the Tian family can exchange it with grain."

The meaning of this is obvious. If you, Mr. Tian, ​​want more, you can. You don’t need money to buy it with food.

In order to get the wine party, Tian had hoarded a lot of food before, and he couldn't finish it in a short time. It was for this reason that Meng Di proposed this condition.

After all, the population will grow rapidly in a stable environment, and everything must be prepared for a rainy day.

And now Huaicheng has begun to build large granaries, the purpose is to maintain future wars, and take into account the rations of the people when natural disasters strike. After all, the foundation of the Han Dynasty is too weak, so there is no way to do so.

After hearing this, Tian Chang quickly understood what Meng Di meant, and he frowned and thought for a while.

"If this is the case, I will discuss it with my father after I go back. If it is feasible, I will come to the door in person."

It was so embarrassing to say, but Meng Di had already known Tian's details from Chen He, so he said it.

"Of course you can. However, Mr. Tian needs to move quickly. I am afraid that within a few days, this king will leave Linzi and return to Han to prepare for the war. If you can get a reply before this king returns, you can make arrangements in advance." .”

But the next day, Zheng Shenggong came to the door in person with only one purpose, which was to buy ironware.

Like Lu Hou, he had just succeeded to the throne not long ago, and the relationship between Zheng Guo and the surrounding small countries was very tense. Under such circumstances, he naturally wanted to improve his own strength.

After the two met and sat down, Zheng Shenggong said directly without any hesitation in addressing him.

"Hanhou, I, Zheng Guo, intend to buy the Armor and Weapons of Evil Gold, but I don't know how much Hanhou can provide?"

For a country like Zheng Guo, Meng Di will naturally not treat Lu Guo the same way, and it can be seen from the title that Zheng Guo doesn't care about the current Zhou Tianzi in Luoyi, so there is more to talk about, so immediately Said.

"If Zheng Guo can send envoys to Huai City to meet the emperor, then I will sell Zheng Guo the Evil Gold Armor and Weapons for [-] gold each. Thirty sets can be given out every month. I wonder what Zheng Hou wants? "

In fact, this time, Zheng Shenggong came here just to test it out. Unexpectedly, Meng Di agreed directly, and the relationship between Zheng Guo and Luoyi's Zhou Tianzi was tense. They had just fought a battle not long ago, so they had no doubts about such conditions. psychological pressure.

So Zheng Shenggong's face was full of smiles, and he said in a very grateful tone.

"Since this is the case, after the king returns to Zheng, he will send envoys to Huai City. I hope that Zheng and Han can maintain a good relationship and help each other in the future."

Zheng Shenggong's father, Zheng Xiangong, actively expanded abroad when he was in power. After Zhibi came to power, he maintained a suppressive attitude towards Zheng Guo.

It will attack Zheng Guo, so this is very active in forming an alliance with Qi State. The purpose is to give him a chance during the civil turmoil in Jin, so that he will be devastated from then on, so that Zheng Guo can annex other countries. small country.

If at that time Chu State calls, Zheng State will switch to Chu State. On this point, Zheng State has a good style. After all, the geographical conditions are there, and it is sandwiched between two big countries. Naturally, which side is stronger? Which side falls.

In any case, Zheng Guo gave such an attitude, it was finally a vassal country that recognized the identity of Ji Dynasty, this was a good start, Meng Didang said.

"It's natural. Jin has been in power for many years, and now it's becoming more and more arrogant and domineering. It's time to decline."
