"His Majesty the Ming Emperor, I wonder if the Ming Dynasty can conduct another transaction! ?"Immediately afterwards, Zhao Shirong asked Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhao Shirong with some confusion:"Tell me?"

"Your Majesty seems to have new iron smelting technology, right?"Zhao Shirong asked

"Well, Ming Dynasty has indeed mastered new iron smelting technology, but does Princess Zhao think that I will hand over this technology? Zhu Houzhao chuckled and asked:"For any country, such technology is a top priority, and it cannot be shared even by friendly forces.""

"We naturally know this, but we just don’t know if His Majesty can sell us some weapons. Similarly, we are willing to buy them with iron ore."Zhao Shirong was not annoyed at all and asked directly.

"Iron ore?"Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows. Zhu Houzhao was also mining iron ore, but he didn't expect that Zhao Shirong actually proposed using iron ore to exchange for weapons.

"There is actually a lot of iron ore in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, if you are willing, I can also use this method to trade, but our processing fees are not cheap! Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and said,"Of course, if you don't want to, forget it.""

"We know this.

Your Majesty's iron smelting technology is already far ahead of other countries. Whether it is weapons or armor, we need to order them. For this, we understand that we have to pay some price, as long as we can give us one-third."Zhao Shirong said confidently.

"One third?"Zhu Houzhao tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was thinking about something, and every time his fingers tapped on the table, they were tugging at Zhao Shirong's heart.

She did appear very confident before, but she didn't have much confidence in her heart.

The iron smelting technology of the Ming Dynasty was much more advanced than that of the Southern Song Dynasty. The weapons newly produced by the Ming Dynasty were at least twice as good as the weapons they equipped in the Southern Song Dynasty. If the weapons of the Ming Dynasty were used, the loss ratio of their weapons would be It will drop a lot.

Moreover, with more good weapons and armor, the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty will also be greatly improved.

One third is already a good number. After all, it is just a processing fee.

However, it is difficult to guarantee Zhu Houzhao will not be dissatisfied because of this!!

After all, they can tacitly agree on some things. Even if the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty seems to be pretty good on the surface, no one knows when they will Start a war.

Maybe in the next year or two, they will start a war, or they will fight against the Meng Yuan together. No one knows this. The key depends on the internal attitude of the Southern Song Dynasty. Even Zhao Shirong himself knows that in fact, the Southern Song Dynasty There are also differences in the internal attitude towards Ming Dynasty.

Some people want to unite Ming Dynasty to fight against Meng Yuan, while others want to use Meng Yuan's hand to weaken Ming Dynasty, or even stab Ming Dynasty in the back at critical moments.

Now these two voices, in the Southern Song Dynasty, The court was almost divided into separate courts, and no one could take advantage.

These were two kinds of contradictions. One was the contradiction between the imperial power and the scholar-bureaucrats and the official and gentry groups, and the contradiction between the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties was the national contradiction. Contradiction.

If the Ming Dynasty now forges weapons for the Southern Song Dynasty, no one can guarantee that these weapons will not be used against the Ming Dynasty in the future.

"It's not impossible to forge weapons for the Southern Song Dynasty, but you can only take one-fifth of it. Of course, the transportation will be borne by me, the Ming Dynasty! Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment and then continued:"You can just pile the iron ore into the port, or wait until you annex the Northern Song Dynasty and send the iron ore to the border between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.""

After talking about it, Zhu Houzhao also glanced at Zhao Shirong meaningfully.

This look made Zhao Shirong's heart sink. Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao knew everything.

For the Southern Song Dynasty, this was not a good thing. I just don’t know how the Ming Dynasty will stop them in the future.

This is inevitable. If it were them, they would also stumble the Ming Dynasty secretly.

Of course, the Southern Song Dynasty had already done this, and Zhu Houzhao knew about it It's possible.

We even made some preparations for it

"What did your Majesty say? If the Southern Song Dynasty could annex the Northern Song Dynasty, we would not have been able to watch them split up."Zhao Shirong said with an embarrassed smile.

"Hmm, maybe! Zhu Houzhao smiled noncommittally:"I'm not afraid that you will say that I am arrogant. In fact, I am not afraid that you will come against Ming Dynasty."

Of course, if you seek death, you can't blame me.

Daming can customize weapons for you, but the benefits must be sufficient!"

Zhao Shirong sighed lightly, but she also understood what Zhu Houzhao meant. She also said quickly:"Your Majesty, Emperor Ming, there is no need to worry. I, the Southern Song Dynasty, have no intention of starting a war with Ming Dynasty for the time being."

"maybe!"Zhao Shirong's words are very sincere, and they are only used temporarily. This can make people believe Zhao Shirong's words. As for Zhao Shirong's statement at this time that the Southern Song Dynasty never had the idea of ​​​​going to war with the Ming Dynasty, this sentence was used to fool Zhu Wuwu, and Zhu Wuwu didn't believe it.!

Zhu Houzhao naturally would not believe Zhao Shirong's words easily. As for the future relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, who was Zhu Houzhao afraid of?

"This matter requires Shirong to go back and discuss it. Please forgive me, Emperor Ming!"After careful consideration, Zhao Shirong still said this.

There is no way, Zhu Houzhao is really too big.

Although Zhu Houzhao has borne the cost of transportation, one-fifth is too big.

In other words, For every five weapons Zhu Houzhao produced, only one belonged to the Southern Song Dynasty.

This would greatly strengthen the Ming Dynasty's army, which was very detrimental to the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Shirong said that he was not that stupid

"Well, you can just discuss it slowly. I'm not in a hurry. After all, Ming Dynasty is not particularly short of iron ore!"Zhu Houzhao spread his hands and chuckled:"It's just that the mining speed is a bit slow."

Zhao Shirong's heart sank. Hearing what Zhu Houzhao meant, as long as there is iron ore, they can smelt it into metal?

Then to what level has Daming's smelting technology improved?

It seems that we need to discuss it with the country as soon as possible. This Things are not something you can decide!
