After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 211 Deepening Cooperation
What Mengdi said is of course not the truth. He needs a population, but the rice planted around Huaicheng can completely achieve self-sufficiency in food, and there is still a surplus.

The reason why I said this was just to confuse Tian Chang and make him feel honored, so he fell into his own calculations.

Tian's ambitions are now fully revealed. As a big family in Qi, what do you want to do with buying so many armors at this time?Obviously not for the purchase of Qi, but for future consideration.

Now that Gongsun Ye has produced hundreds of iron smelting, iron armor and weapons will gradually be eliminated, but in this way, elite troops are needed all the time, which is naturally for the future infantry.

To a certain extent, cavalry don’t need very good armor, as long as they can resist the enemy’s long-range crossbows, so it is not a big problem to sell more now, and the overall quantity is not large. The opponent wants to equip a For the army, it will take a few years.

By then, the cavalry's weapons would have been updated long ago, so there would be no threat at all.

After Tian Chang heard this, he thought that Zhizhu was in his hands, so he thought for a while before speaking.

"It's not as good as this. Our Tian family provides a total population of [-] slaves within a year, and the Marquis of Han will also give us a step back and give us one hundred sets of evil gold armor and weapons every month. The price will remain the same. If you can If so, we can make a deal."

But Meng Di frowned and pretended to be in thought, and after a while, he let out a sigh of relief and said.

"It seems that Mr. Tian is really good at doing business, so let's settle it down. Now that we have negotiated this matter, there is another business deal. I wonder if Mr. Tian is interested?"

After hearing this, Tian Chang thought about it for a while, and a look of interest appeared in his eyes.

"Hanhou, please tell me first. It would be best if we can cooperate. If it's too troublesome, I can't make a decision on the spot. I need to discuss it with my father after I go back, and then I will talk about it at the end."

Hearing this, Meng Di just smiled, and didn't say what the voice was, but asked.

"Mr. Tian, ​​how about Huai City today? After expansion, the scale of Huai City is getting bigger and bigger. In the future, the king plans to build an outer wall around Huai City. In this way, it can be divided into inner and outer cities. More merchants will come."

Tian Chang naturally felt this point in his heart. Every time he came to Huai City, he had a refreshing feeling, so he said.

"The Marquis of Han has managed Huai City in an orderly manner, and it will surely become a big city more prosperous than Linzi in the future. There is no doubt about this. Why does the Marquis of Han ask such a question? But it has something to do with this business?"

Meng Di smiled and nodded, at this moment Bai Gui explained.

"Huai City is now just a place for distribution of goods, and there is no industrial support in the surrounding area, so I thought that the Tian family could send more craftsmen to set up workshops here, so as to avoid the fatigue of long-distance trafficking. The land can be sold."

"In this way, Tian is able to live, and Huai City will become more prosperous. This is a double win. I wonder what Mr. Tian wants?"

Hearing this proposal, Tian Chang's heart moved, but he didn't immediately agree, and asked after thinking for a while.

"This point can be considered. I'm afraid that if something happens in the future, my Tian family's interests in the Han country will not be guaranteed, so it is difficult to make a decision."

But at this time, Meng Di took the words, with an unclear smile on his face, and said.

"I heard that the state of Qi is now planning to conquer the state of Jin for the second time. If this is the case, the state of Han and the state of Qi must be able to guarantee each other's safety, so as to avoid any conflicts in the future."

"So in a short period of time, the money earned by Mr. Tian from investing here can not only offset your costs, but also earn more. Could it be that Mr. Tian can't figure this out?"

Be obedient and listen to the sound, what Meng Di said made Tian Chang immediately think of Guoyuan, and from this tone, he could tell that they had already met each other, if this was the case, then there was nothing to worry about.

With the current scale of Huai City, as long as two years of safety can be guaranteed, they can earn back their capital with interest. However, this also made Tian Chang realize that the Guo clan seems to have a stronger relationship with Meng Di than he imagined. close.

This is not a good phenomenon. If something happens in Qi State in the future, Meng Di will turn to support the Guo family. It will definitely not be a good thing for the Tian family. Thinking of this, Tian Chang gritted his teeth and said.

"In order to protect the interests of my Tian family, I am willing to take [-]% of the share to cooperate with the Marquis of Han. All the goods sold to Qi will be handled by my Tian family. The workshop established here will be owned by the Han country after three years. , I don't know what Hanhou wants?"

In Tian Chang's view, only when everyone's interests are bundled together can they be more intimate with each other. Among the Guo clan, only Guoyuan and Mengdi have a good personal relationship, but this kind of personal relationship is compared with interests. It was too far away.

So he also decided to make a heavy investment, hoping that through this method, Meng Di could get closer to Tian's.

Meng Di had a strange expression on his face after listening, but then he laughed and said.

"Since the Tian family is so sincere, the king has no reason not to agree. I hope that our two families can work together in the future. If something happens to the Tian family in the future, the king will definitely express it."

"In addition, this time, the king will not hide the truth from Mr. Tian. The state of Qi wants the king to send troops, but the king wants to put forward two conditions. The first is that the state of Qi will give up the city of Nanju, and the second point is to sell it to us at a low price. food."

"I hope Mr. Tian will tell Mr. Tian to help you with this matter when he returns. The reason why he asked for Nanju City is to hope that the Han Kingdom can have a barrier, and he has no other thoughts."

Tian Chang nodded thoughtfully after listening to it. Nanju City is not really what he wants, and Qiguo can only play a certain role in restraining him, and he is hanging out alone, which is relatively tasteless.

Moreover, the Han State has now taken the land of Huaiyi, and since the Qi State cannot go south, it is not difficult to give up Nanju City, and it can also be a favor, so Tian Chang no longer hesitated, and immediately expressed his position .

"Since the Marquis of Han has requested something, Mrs. Tian will definitely do it personally, but I am afraid it will take some time to operate this matter, and the Marquis of Han still needs to be patient. Since we have already negotiated cooperation, I am not here. It's been a long time."
