Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 386 You are the one who joked first

Habr thought it would be difficult for Li Changfeng to speak. After all, it was Li Changfeng who led the army against the barbarian army and saw countless wounded and countless graves.

Who would have expected that he would agree so happily.

Habul was worried that Li Changfeng was playing tricks on him, so he tried: "We want [-] kilograms of refined salt!"

Li Changfeng smiled: "You can have as much refined salt as you want."

Habul was overjoyed: "Ten thousand catties of tea!"

"can."

"Ten thousand penicillins!"

"no problem."

"Bicycles... um... five thousand!"

"The inventory is not that much. It will take a while. Can you wait?"

"Of course we can wait. I also want motorcycles, um, a thousand of them."

"There isn't that much motorcycle inventory, and it will take some time. You may have to wait."

"Ok, Ok!"

When he heard that Li Changfeng had promised to sell refined salt, tea, bicycles, etc., Emperor Qianwu's expression had not changed much. These things would not make the barbarians stronger.

When he heard that Li Changfeng promised to sell a thousand motorcycles to the barbarians, he couldn't help but look a little ugly.

You know, the Daqian military has only purchased a thousand motorcycles in total, and Li Changfeng directly promised to give the barbarians a thousand motorcycles. Doesn't this increase the prestige of the barbarian army?
Moreover, if the barbarians engage in research and development based on the motorcycles they bought back and build their own motorcycles, wouldn't they threaten Daqian in the future?

In his opinion, things like this should be safe in Daqian's own hands.

However, out of trust in Li Changfeng, Emperor Qianwu thought for a moment without refuting, and quietly observed the two of them.

Habr also knew how important motorcycles were to Daqian. He originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to buy one, but he never expected that it would go so smoothly, and he was even more happy.

He quickly continued: "We want a thousand muskets!"

Li Changfeng nodded: "No problem."

Emperor Qianwu was shocked. Dare you sell this thing?

He almost couldn't help but stand up and refuse, but thinking that Li Changfeng couldn't be aware of this, he endured it.

Habr looked surprised: "We want a hundred artillery pieces!"

Li Changfeng's smile remained the same: "No problem!"

"Grenade...five thousand!"

"No problem!"

At this time, Emperor Qianwu finally saw the clue.

Earlier, Li Changfeng was selling bicycles and motorcycles, but he also said that there were not so many ready-made products and we had to wait.

It's good now, let's not mention this problem and directly agree.

Emperor Qianwu knew that Li Changfeng had stopped producing muskets and artillery because Daqian's military had purchased enough, and now he only produces ammunition.

This is clearly teasing Habul.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

Habr also realized that things seemed to be going too smoothly, and asked in surprise: "Your Highness, when are you going to deliver the muskets, artillery and grenades?" Li Changfeng looked like he was thinking seriously: "I guess. About ten years."

Habul was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly and said: "Your Highness, how can you joke about this kind of thing?"

Li Changfeng put away his smile and said coldly: "You were the one who made the joke first, and you actually want to buy my Dagan's muskets, artillery pieces and grenades. Do you think this is possible?"

Li Changfeng has always been very strict and cautious about the control of thermal weapons.

If this thing is sold casually for takeout, who can guarantee that it will not fall into the hands of the enemy and point the gun at him?
Moreover, during his southern expedition, he saw too many soldiers killed by barbarians, and the seeds of hatred had already been planted in his heart. How could he sell such murderous weapons to them?
Only then did Habul realize that Li Changfeng was playing tricks on him. He was already filled with rage and couldn't keep the smile on his face, which turned ugly.

However, given his courage, he didn't dare to have an attack here and could only endure it.

He still had a way to make Li Changfeng compromise, but it was not the right place to say it, so he laughed dryly and said: "As for selling motorcycles... Your Highness, are you kidding me?"

Li Changfeng nodded: "No, but the price is a bit high. One thousand cars is still the lowest configuration. Can you accept it?"

Habul had already inquired about the price of the motorcycles sold by Li Changfeng. The lowest price was 700 taels. The price of 1000 taels was indeed a bit high, but considering Daqian's relationship with the barbarians, he still tolerated it.

"acceptable."

He originally wanted to buy the military version, but it seemed impossible based on the current situation. He decided to talk to Li Changfeng in private when Emperor Wu was away.

Therefore, he did not discuss the prices of other supplies, and said goodbye to Emperor Qianwu: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister needs to go back and calculate the purchase quantity of refined salt, tea, and penicillin. After that, he will go to His Highness the Ninth Prince to discuss it in detail. Please give your permission."

Emperor Qianwu couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Habul bowed respectfully, and then bowed to Li Changfeng: "The foreign minister will pay homage to His Highness soon."

"understood."

After Habul retreated, Emperor Qianwu asked: "Changfeng, why did you sell the motorcycle to them?"

Li Changfeng asked strangely: "Why not sell it to them?"

Emperor Qianwu expressed his worries with a somewhat ugly face, and Li Changfeng burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Father, our motorcycles are for sale to the public. Even if you order not to sell them to the barbarians, won't they buy them from others at a high price?"

"Of course they can, but they can't buy that much, and even if they equip the army, they won't be able to form combat effectiveness."

"Will selling to them help them form a fighting force?" Li Changfeng looked enigmatic.

Emperor Ganwu was a little annoyed: "What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, hurry up and tell me, don't be a secret!"

Li Changfeng smiled slightly: "Father, don't forget that we have gasoline in our hands."

Emperor Qianwu was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized, he laughed and said: "How come I forgot about this!"

A motorcycle without gasoline is just a pile of scrap metal. Daqian controls the gasoline. Whether to sell or not to sell, to sell more or to sell less is not something that the barbarians can have the final say.

This is tantamount to pinching their lifeblood.

Emperor Qianwu laughed for a while, then thought of another thing, and his expression became worried again: "But what if they have a motorcycle and copy it?"

Li Changfeng said helplessly: "It is inevitable that motorcycles will be sold to the public and people will buy them to study and imitate them, but it is not that easy to make. By the time they imitate them, I will already have better motorcycles, and the army will even It’s possible that you’re using a car, do you need to worry?”

Emperor Qianwu was completely relieved at this time, and he laughed and said: "Young boy has his own tricks. It was right to ask you to come over. The price of the motorcycle must be higher, and I will kill them hard!"

"Of course."

Li Changfeng nodded and said with a smile: "There are a large number of unqualified engines in the factory that have not yet been remanufactured, which can be used to build motorcycles for them."
