Chapter 829 Persuasion (1)

Oh?" I narrowed my eyes. This guy seemed to be treacherous. Although it was gold, it was just a one-time transaction. The weapons were naturally controlled in their hands. However, when I thought about it, those wooden broken things were almost useless for the Tang Dynasty. The range was not as powerful as mortars and artillery, and the power was not as good as that of mortars and artillery. It was indeed useless to keep them. If the drawings could be sold for a million chunk, they would probably have increased hundreds of times even with the capital and profit.

"Don't worry, sir, Xiao Wang is willing to give out ten tarantes gold to buy the drawings of the large equipment I saw today." The Persian prince narrowed his eyes and his eyebrows were raised into a strange curve.

??A lot of question marks popped up in my head. What's the thing? Ten Tarants? The Persian prince saw that I was confused and quickly smiled and said, "Oh, my bad guy, this is the weight used in Persia. After counting it, it's probably..." The Persian prince began to count, and after a long time, he said, "It's about 520 kilograms of gold from the Tang Dynasty."

Although my eyes lit up, there was not much fluctuation in my expression. It was not that I didn’t like money. More than 520 kilograms of gold were more than 5,200 taels of gold. It looked a lot. In later generations, a gram of gold would be worth 180 yuan. More than 500 kilograms of gold was equivalent to nearly 5 million yuan in purchasing power. Unfortunately, it is now the Tang Dynasty, and the price comparison of gold is not high. One kilogram of gold is only equivalent to six or seven thousand coins, which is six or seven jin. More than 5,200 taels of gold are not worth much money for the Tang Dynasty, but only more than 300,000 jin.

In the past, I might have appreciated Ruokuang. But now, I can't raise much interest, because gold has no meaning to the Tang Dynasty at all. At least before the reform of the local goods system of the Tang Dynasty, it was not very useful.

Seeing that I looked dissatisfied, the Persian prince thought I was too little, so he gritted his teeth and added 200 kilograms of gold. I finally couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, although this gold is a valuable item, it is not something I urgently needed in the Tang Dynasty."

"Sir, what do you mean? Sir, just say that as long as Xiao Wang can do it, it will definitely be used for exchange." The Persian prince scratched his ears and his forehead anxiously. However, I still said slowly: "Don't be anxious in the prince's palace, everything must be taken slowly. There is a saying in our Tang Dynasty. It means that you can't eat hot tofu when you are anxious, so you should wait for peace of mind first, and be content with peace of mind. Tomorrow, the official will personally go to His Majesty to talk to you. Try to give Your Highness a satisfactory reply as soon as possible."

When fishing for big fish, you have to put down enough bait and line, and then swing gently and gently to calmly and drive. For example, now, I just hang the bait slowly on the hook, but the small fish in the water are almost popping out, but we are not anxious. We need to have enough patience to gain a rich harvest.

------------------------------------------------

At night, we rushed back home, but I was not drunk because I had to negotiate with my father for a big deal. The soft light on the top of the Twin Towers illuminated the dome in a warm yellow tone. The old man sat in front of me, and I was still telling my point of view, trying to convince the old man.

"...This matter is indeed very difficult, but if everything in the world is easy, why did the previous dynasty need to raise a million troops to attack Goguryeo? Three battles and three losses?" I was still very persistent and said.

"Erlang, it's not because I don't agree with your idea for my father, but because I don't like your idea. Do you know that although my Tang Dynasty has launched wars for many years, which battle is aimless? Which time is just for the so-called morality, and only spending money and the lives of soldiers?" The old man said in a deep voice: "Just like what you said, selling my Tang Dynasty weapons to Persia, as long as you control them properly, do not give artillery and other things, and ensure that the recipe will not be included in the hands of others, these are naturally strongly agreed by the father. After all, the finances of my Tang Dynasty are not rich. If we make weapons, we can make a profit. It can also be regarded as allowing the ministers in the court who oppose the army's dress and consume only the national tax to shut up. After all, it is profitable. But this issuance of troops..."

"After a thousand miles away, what will the soldiers do? What will the soldiers think? In the court? Erlang, you have been instilling in the court that profit is the first in everything. Then, I will ask you a game on behalf of Your Majesty. Where will the soldiers from Persia come from?" The old man spread his hands and looked at me with bright eyes.

"Father, there is not no reason for the child to support the dispatch of troops. There are three reasons..." I also looked directly at the old man and slowly conducted a detailed and rigorous analysis of my relationship with the powerful enemies around the Tang Dynasty, as well as the idea of ​​sending troops and the composition of soldiers, as well as the benefits and long-term benefits that the Tang Dynasty can obtain.

Until late at night, I finally finished discussing with the old man, and at this time, the old man noticed the seriousness of the matter.

All of them twisted and pondered for a long time, Fang Zi nodded: "Erlang's words: Zhang, the Western Turks are born with tigers and wolves, and the ambitions of Tubo wolfs are not good people. If they are willing to fight against each other, they must not be good people. If they really let them take control of the land, it will be really not good news to me, the Tang Dynasty. I am afraid that I will pay more in the future. Please be content with it. Tomorrow, I will talk about it for my father."

"Thank you, father." I saluted the old man respectfully. It was worthy of being my father, but my heart was still on my side. With this huge energy, the old man stood by me, which was more convincing than me dancing in Uncle Li and others.

"Since that's the case, I will leave first, go back to the government office to prepare all the information, and wait for tomorrow to report to Your Majesty." I stood up and said goodbye to my father. The old man also stood up, patted my shoulder, and nodded kindly: "Okay! You should be sure to do things and prepare carefully before you can stand invincible. It's very cold at night, so just put on my fox fur and go."

"Take care, the child is gone." After taking the soft and warm fur clothes handed over by the old man, my heart was so warm. Many times, the occasional concern for family members will always come to mind in the days to come.

As I approached the mansion, I looked back at the Twin Towers. There was a majestic and familiar figure printed on the transparent glass window. "Young Master, what are you looking at?" Bornarjin asked curiously while stuffing his hand into his gloves.

I smiled at him: "It's nothing, go quickly!" Subconsciously lifted the fox fur, letting my neck feel the warmth.

In the palace, the military officials Li Jing, Uncle Li Ji and Li Daozong, and the civil servant representatives were Gao Shilian, the old man and the Changsun Yinren. They all fell to the couch, and He Zheng, the head of the host and guest department who negotiated with Persia and other countries, was also present. In addition, after my request and Uncle Li's permission, Zhong, the head of the Wushu Institute, was also sitting here.

Uncle Li's personnel selection seemed quite cautious. These people were all Uncle Li's confidants, and they were all those who always put the overall situation first, and they were also the makers and participants of the Tang Dynasty's policies. Moreover, they were all people who would not be slutty and talk around, because the major events to be discussed today must not be disclosed to the public until the results were achieved.



------------------------------------------------

I distributed the information in my hand to the officials present one by one. Naturally, Uncle Li had already placed a copy of it before his case. Uncle Li sat firmly in the center, supported his forehead with his hands, and looked at the information placed on the desk. These were all the information I made after summarizing with the officials of the Home and Guest Department and Honglu Temple after a morning summary. They were obtained from contact with Persia and Central Asian countries. In addition, in addition to the distributored information, there was a thick pad of paper in my arms, which gave detailed explanations on the situation of each small Central Asian country and Persia, and even the main specialties and minerals of these countries were explained in detail. These were the ones that I would use as a door hammer when things did not develop in the direction I expected.

The people Wang Xuance brought over have sent back a lot of things to the Tang Dynasty in the past two years. In addition, the intelligence personnel sent in the past have made my Tang Dynasty not know the details of the Central Asian countries, but at least it is very detailed. Similarly, it makes me more determined that the Tang Dynasty's future long-term goals should be extended to the West.

"... These are the news that I learned from the Persian princes and envoys of various countries. In fact, it is nothing more than two requests. I asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help Persia and other countries resist the attack and annexation of the cannibals. Another point is that I hope to obtain various standard weapons and equipment from the Tang Dynasty. Of course, they need to invest in purchasing, or they can also trade in barter." Seeing that these people were studying the information in detail, and after everyone closed the file folders one after another, I continued to explain.
