Chapter 676 The Opened Pandora's Box(2/2)

Even the craftsmen of the Iron and Industrial Institute in Dabai Gaoguo will suffer huge losses when forging.

But 150 kilograms of fine iron were enough for him to forge a pair of wart armor in any case.

And as long as there is wart armor, there is iron kite!

In other words, how could the Nanman foreign relative named Xiang Zonghui do such a stupid thing unless he was kicked by a donkey?

If he is really so stupid, then Liang Yi will immediately throw all the young, strong, women and children to the other party.

On average, a single child is 150 kilograms of fine iron, a woman is 120 kilograms, and even a child is worth 75 kilograms!

He sold with his eyes closed!

He could even join forces with Wei Ming Po Chou and throw all the tribes in Tiandu Mountain to the Southern Barbarians without any burden.

Liang Ziqing shook his head slowly and said, "Reporting to the prime minister, Xiang Zong said that the coins cast by the simplified iron were specially given to the generals of Xihe by the emperor of the Southern Barbarians. The rewards from the soldiers were extremely precious! If it were not for the leader of the Qiang tribe who cried day and night, he would never want to take them out!"

"Now, because of the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, the sages of benevolence and forgiveness, I was moved by the separation of husbands and wives from various tribes, father and son separated, and grandchildren lost their connection, so I resolutely took it!"

"So, he can only pay according to the cap..."

"Every time the prime minister of the country has a son-in-law, a son-in-law, a son-in-law, and a child, Xiang Zonghui was willing to give the prime minister a kind of iron coins, and the rest would pay the old iron coins."

Liang Yibu listened, his eyes flashing.

"Is it true?" he murmured.

It is always about two and a half pounds, and a pair of wart argent requires at least one hundred pounds of fine iron as raw material (the cold forging method used in Western Xia wart argent is recorded by Shen Kuo: no fire is used, cold calcination is made, and the thickness is reduced by two parts by three parts to reduce the thickness of the Yuan! Naturally, this craftsman is very testing the craftsman's skills and heat mastery. If you are not careful, it will be scrapped. The loss rate is amazing. Although there is no record, I personally estimate that the yield rate should be less than 30%.). In other words, at least forty people are needed to exchange the raw material that will be enough for a pair of wart argent.

Liang Yiqi suddenly hesitated.

He looked at Liang Ziqing and asked, "From you to see, can the Southern Barbarians still pay more?"

Liang Ziqing shook his head and said, "Reporting to the Prime Minister, this matter may be difficult."

Liang Yi nodded. Indeed, the value of Jingtien is not to mention much, it is the hard currency of the whole world.

To him, it is even more valuable than gold and silver.

Because of gold and silver, you can't win a battle, but Jiang Zijia can!

As long as there are enough wart armor, such as one thousand pairs and two thousand pairs.

That would be enough to make him invincible!

but……

Liang Yibu played with the coin of fine iron in his hand, and then he looked at Liang Ziqing and asked, "Why is Xiang Zonghui willing to use fine iron coins to redeem Ding Zhuang?"

Even in the Southern Barbarians, fine iron is not cheap!

So, why?

Liang Yi was eager to know the answer to this question.

Liang Ziqing bowed his head and said, "Since I entered the territory of the Southern Barbarians, I was placed under house arrest in Kangu City... Until recently, I was summoned by Xiang Zong, a border financial company in the Southern Barbarians... I don't know anything else..."

Liang Yibi nodded and said, "Then Xiang Zong will have a sinister intention!"

What did the Qiang leaders cry and complain? What did the Confucius and Mencius saints teach benevolence and forgiveness?

Who believes it?

Anyway, Liang Yibi doesn’t believe it!

Ruo Nanman is as good as what they said.

Why did Emperor Jingzong rebel against Taizu back then?

If the noble generals of the Southern Barbarians really look at the Qiang in Hengshan.

How can the Great Kingdom of Dabai defend Hengshan?

I've been pushed to the Southern Barbarians long ago, okay?

Over the past century, the Southern Barbarians who have been discriminating against the Qiangs of Hengshan suddenly one day took the Qiangs of Hengshan and took the Qiangs of Hengshan and came to pay attention to the Qiangs of Hengshan.

I am also willing to use the most strategically valuable iron to redeem all the Qiang, the strong, the women, the children, and the children?!

If there is no trick in this, who believes it?

Liang Yibi remembered the things that happened to the Hengshan Qiang tribe since this year.

Countless tribes, under the influence of drought, fled to the Xihe River in the Nanman area.

A large number of young men and women helped the elderly and the young, crossed the border and entered the southern barbarian territory.

In the past, once such a thing happened, the southern barbarians guarding the border would immediately block the border, and then ruthlessly drove away the Qiang - the stinky beggars, and came to the Song Dynasty to ask for food again!

But this year, the situation reversed.

The fleeing Qiang people were not only not blocked, but were welcomed.

The Southern Barbarians even took the initiative to enter the territory of Dabaigao Kingdom, responded and escorted the fleeing Qiang people.

Such things also happened in Tubo.

It is said that the Tubo people's situation is even worse - Xiba Wen and Wen Xixin blatantly organized their troops to penetrate into the tribes, abducting, coaxing, and even forcibly encroaching on the population!

This is also the fuse of this war.

The Tubo people can no longer bear it!

Ali Gu and Qing Yi’s ghost-making seal were both determined to remove the two nails, Xige City and Miaochuan City!

So, he took the initiative to contact him, and Qing Yi Jieguizhang even sent his own son and heir Jie Wazi as a proton to win his trust.

Yes...

Liang Yibu remembered more information that he had ignored.

When he was protons here, he seemed to have said that the Southern Barbarians had reclaimed wasteland in Xizhou, Hezhou, Huizhou and even Lanzhou, and they were planting something called Kapok.

And this kapok planting requires a lot of manpower.

So, is this the truth?

Liang Yi-bing pursed her lips.

"Kapok?" he murmured to himself.

"It's a pity that Weiming Ami, Meladubuk and others have been speechless since they went to the Southern Barbarians. Otherwise, I might have known the details of this!"

Before and after the war, he sent more than a dozen detailed works to go deep into the Xihe River of the Nanman to find out the news.

However, everyone is gone forever!

It was like ink dripping into the paper, soaking it in instantly!

Even if he sent the two young men he admired most, Wei Ming Ami and Meladubuk, it was the same, he didn't know life or death, and there was no news!

Thinking of this, Liang Yiqi decided to test it.

He looked at Liang Ziqing and said, "Ziqing, please go to the Southern Barbarians again and pass on my message to the Southern Barbarians..."

"They are willing to redeem the Qiang tribe, the women, children, and children, and they can agree!"

He now has more than 100,000 young men under his command!

Too many!

Now that they have been defeated and are about to withdraw their troops, these people have become a huge burden.

It’s okay for the Qiang people to go back to Nanmu and just disband directly.

But the recruitment of the troops recruited by the various departments of the Party and Xiang departments is a little troublesome.

Because according to tradition, the lost people must be compensated and pensioned.

This is a national policy!

It is also the fundamental reason for maintaining the cohesion of each part.

If there is no reasonable compensation, there will be no fools to respond next time there will be war.

But Liang Yibi can't provide compensation now.

Once this is the case, Liang Yibu understood in his heart that the sister of Xingqing Mansion would definitely jump out and announce that Wu Zu would pay compensation.

If this is the case, his national prime minister's appeal and prestige among various ministries will be cleared.

So he had to compensate these people for their losses and pay the deceased.

Just in time, doesn’t the Southern Barbarians need population?

Then take the opportunity to knock them down!

Liang Yibi looked at Liang Ziqing and said, "But the price they gave was not enough!"

"You have to add more money!"

"At least everyone has to add a dou of rice!"

Food is also the hard currency today!
