The most powerful tyrant of the Sui Dynasty

"A ballista cart, a million taels. "

Liu Hua stretched out a finger and said.

Outcry.

It's so expensive, since it costs one million taels.

"What are you yelling about, is it too expensive? One million taels can help you block the Tang Army, and you think that the Northern Song Dynasty is rich, so you will delay time!"

Flicking his sleeves and turning around, Liu Hua was in an uproar when he saw these courtiers who thought they were big countries.

Liu Hua's face was angry, what are you kidding, one million taels is still expensive, if the price was not set before coming, Liu Hua would rather offer a price of 10 million taels, and at the same time, Liu Hua believes that there will definitely be countries willing to give money.

For example, the Jin Kingdom, and the Ming Dynasty.

"Sui envoy and slow, Sui envoy. Stop, stop him!"

Zhao Defang saw Liu Hua scolding loudly, then turned around and left.

Finally, he came back to his senses when he heard the sluggish expression of the ballista of one million taels, and immediately asked the palace guards to stop Liu Hua and prevent him from leaving.

"What, you still want to offend my Great Sui and fail to start a war with Sui?"

Liu Hua turned around and looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and then, he knew that he had misunderstood.

Because in the crowd, he also saw a golden figure, yes, it was Zhao Defang.

Zhao Defang personally came down from the dragon chair, and what he represented was only sincerity.

"Sui envoy a little peace, a little peace, not too expensive, not too expensive, only a million taels, not expensive, really not expensive. Come on, come on. "

As he spoke, since Zhao Defang directly pulled this Liu Hua, who was younger than himself, back to the center of the hall, at this time, the courtiers also knew how unwise it was to provoke the Sui envoy just now.

The other party is young, but the identity of the representative is different, if you really want to talk about age, wouldn't it be beating the Northern Song Dynasty's own face.

"What, I have a few doubts, and I am a little puzzled. Is the Sui State really going to sell the ballista cart to the Northern Song Dynasty?"

This was the first question that Zhao Defang thought of.

Weapons, the sharp weapons of the country. No country will sell weapons, let alone an artifact like a ballista car, let alone a million taels, even if Liu Hua really drove 10 million taels, Zhao Defang will definitely buy it, of course, it must be to buy a few less.

"Emperor Sui's golden mouth, is it a joke!"

Liu Hua looked at Zhao Defang in surprise, and felt that the sincerity of the right seemed to be discounted, and even asked this kind of question.

"No, no, of course, Emperor Sui's integrity is still very good. That's not what I meant, don't misunderstand. "

Zhao Defang behaved very sophisticatedly, and he seemed to understand a little, why the Sui Kingdom sold them ballista carts, naturally so that the Northern Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty could consume each other.

But this is a conspiracy, you can choose to die if you don't.

Or maybe you can stop it yourself.

Now the situation is that the Northern Song Dynasty is losing and retreating, and now there is such a good thing, Zhao Defang will naturally not miss it, even if he understands Emperor Sui's thoughts, he doesn't want to jump into this pit, but also jumps deeper.

"That's the case, the Northern Song Dynasty wants a hundred, I don't know if the Sui Kingdom has it?"

Zhao Defang changed his way and said that the Northern Song Dynasty not only wanted to buy, but also bought a lot.

This is a strategy for doing business, showing that he wants a large amount, hoping to make Sui envoy Liu Hua give a discount or something.

"It's only a hundred, of course. Well, do the math, it's 100 million taels of silver, let's exchange it for gold, it's easier to calculate, it's only 10 million taels of gold. "

Liu Hua waved his finger and immediately counted out the money.

When he looked up at the same time, he looked at Zhao Defang, and the meaning in his eyes was revealed, to see if Zhao Defang wanted to add a few more, it was best to directly 100 million taels of gold.

"Yes, yes, we need a hundred units first, let's try it first to see if it works. "

Zhao Defang wiped his sweat, and he suddenly found that Liu Hua, who looked like a scholar, was also very good at doing business.

In this way, Zhao Defang didn't even dare to say anything about the counteroffer, in case Liu Hua was angry, this business would not be done, and the hope of the Northern Song Dynasty blocking the Tang Dynasty would be gone.

"Okay, let's make a pact first. The deposit can be dispensed with, this is what the Sui Emperor said, wait for a hundred crossbow carts to be delivered and pull the silver back at one time, I believe that the Northern Song Dynasty will not rely on such a little silver. "

In the Great Sui, the people are rich now, although 100 million taels of silver is a lot, it is not rare, at least the silver taels of the four imperial merchants do not know the geometry.

It is inevitable that Liu Hua will not look down on this bit of silver.

This time, Yang Guang was unwilling to earn too much silver from the Northern Song Dynasty, his purpose was not money, fundamentally, it was to let the Northern Song Dynasty block the Tang State, so that the war would continue to be anxious, and the two countries would fall into the quagmire of war at the same time, consuming each other's national strength.

This is Yang Guang's fundamental purpose.

Soon the agreement was completed, and Liu Hua said before leaving that a week later, he would let the Northern Song Dynasty receive the goods.

Now the railway to the Northern Song Dynasty is almost built, and it will not be long before a hundred ballista cars arrive in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"The Northern Song Dynasty didn't dare, the Sui envoy walked slowly, Lord Xiangguo, say hello. "

Very open, sending Liu Hua away, Zhao Defang's face showed a vicious face.

One million taels, one car, what a concept of this. It's not expensive, if you send it and it doesn't have the desired effect, I'll return it!

Obviously, Lai Yinzi Zhao Defang would not dare, but if Da Sui cheated him, he would never admit it!

"Your Majesty, can't you allocate so much silver from the treasury now?"

The head of the household is still in the list, and he looks worried.

From the time when the Northern Song Emperor and Liu Hua were talking about business just now, he gave Zhao Defang a hard look, seeing that the business had been signed and completed, the head of the household department saw Liu Hua leaving, so he hurriedly came out of the ranks, and then said with a bitter face.

"How much more can be allocated from the treasury?"

Zhao Defang was also stunned when he heard this, he never cared about the situation of the treasury, and always thought that the Northern Song Dynasty was rich.

But now the Northern Song Dynasty has been at war with various countries, and it cost a lot of money when the Five Kingdoms attacked the Sui, and now it is a lot of silver against the Tang Dynasty.

"A maximum of 50 million taels can be transferred. "

The household department carefully calculated, the soldiers on the front line need food and grass, and some of them must be set aside.

In the end, he broke his head, and only then did he say such a number that the Hubu Shangshu thought was the most.

That's it?!

Zhao Defang was angry, what are you kidding, now the treasury is just a little silver, is this still called the treasury.

"I don't care! Whether it is a tax increase or private fund-raising, we must get 100 million taels of silver within seven days!"

It's not just a broken skeleton country, now it's okay, there is not even silver, thinking of this, Zhao Defang suddenly missed his uncle Zhao Guangyi very much, this mess, or let you clean it up.

"Minister, Commander. "

Hubu Shangshu understands that this silver must be taken out no matter what, after all, now that the agreement has been signed, it is still the same as the Great Sui, if it is really repaid, I am afraid that the Northern Song Dynasty is likely to die overnight.

At the same time, Zhao Defang is also thinking about how to inspect the goods.
