Chapter 504 Twelve!
"If this happens, I'm afraid Lord Jia will have a headache, haha!" Zhang Feizi said with a strong smile on his face, making a rare joke.
Ying often smiled but said nothing. Not to mention Jaro's headache, he had a headache. Education is not a small fuss, but a real gold-swallowing beast.
"Okay, that's all about this. I will give you a note later. It contains my concept of Zhongshu Academy and Academy. You should think carefully about it and improve it, and then start preparing for the affairs of Zhongshu Academy. I will not interfere with the affairs of Zhongshu Academy. I will give you the full responsibility. After the preparation is made, the previous note will come!" Ying Chang said calmly.
"Abide by the order!" Zhang Feizi bent down with a respectful expression and then looked up at Ying Chang and said, "If Your Majesty has nothing to do, then I will go down and prepare to hand over the preparation camp first!"
"Go!" Ying Chang waved his hand gently.
Zhang Feizi gave the bow and quickly left the imperial study room. After Zhang Feizi left, Ying Chang sat on the dragon chaise, stretched his waist, twisted his neck, cleared his muscles and bones, and then began to review memorials and entered the busyness.
Time passed quickly. After Zhang Feizi handed over the reserve battalion to the Ministry of War, he began to stay in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion and stayed in the door, concentrating on the Zhongshu Academy. The Ministry of War could be said to be a flawless handover. There was no mistake in the middle, and everything went as usual.
At the same time, after Yang Ze asked Fang Zi, he also learned about the cost of a short crossbow. In fact, whether it is a short crossbow or a weakened version of a short crossbow, the cost is the same.
After Yang Ze knew the cost, he informed Chang Zifei of the cost price. After Chang Zifei learned the cost price, he immediately went to the Ministry of Rites and convened the chief and deputy envoys of the forty-one countries to discuss matters.
Department of Rites, Association Hall!
Because there were too many people, Chang Zifei placed the meeting place in the large courtyard in the guild hall, which made it convenient for envoys from all countries, because the house they lived in was around the large courtyard, and the door opened was the large courtyard in the guild hall.
The large courtyard was filled with neat chairs. The chiefs and deputy envoys of the forty-one countries sat quietly on it. A chair was also placed in front of the envoys of the various countries. The person sitting on the chair was Chang Zifei, the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty.
Chang Zifei was wearing neat and clean black white crane tutu court robes, looking around the envoys of the countries with expressionless faces. The envoys of the countries had different expressions, nervous, worried, and anticipated. Chang Zifei did not pay much attention to the expressions and emotions of the envoys of the countries, and directly said to the envoys of the countries with straightforward words:
"After my discussion with Your Majesty, the Qin Dynasty decided to sell short crossbows to all countries, but one thing must be mentioned. The short crossbow sold by the Qin Dynasty was not the standard short crossbow equipped by the Qin army. It was the weakened version of the short crossbow developed by the Ordnance Department. It has a range of only a hundred steps and a range of thirty steps. The craftsmen of the Ordnance Department called it the B-rat crossbow, and the Qin army's standard short crossbow is called the Armor Rat Crossbow. Before you buy it, you must be cautious. Don't blame me for selling inferior goods after you buy it!"
In order to distinguish between two types of short crossbows, the Ordnance Department took the two crossbows one title each.
When the envoys from all countries heard the previous sentence, they all smiled excitedly, but when they heard the latter sentence, the smiles on their faces instantly solidified. The promised range was 300 steps and 200 steps of armor-piercing? How did you get a thing with a range of only 100 steps and a range of 30 steps of armor-piercing?
The commander of the Yue lord Zhang Yao frowned first and couldn't help but ask, "Sir Chang Xiang, what does Da Qin mean?"
"Yes, yes, why sell these low-level weapons to us!"
"What we want is the Qin army's standard short crossbow, not a rat crossbow!"
"Yes, we want a rat crossbow, otherwise we won't buy it!"
"We only need the armored rat crossbow. If we don't give it, we will leave and go home!"
The envoys of various countries began to object, and they almost wrote two words "unhappy" on their faces. Some envoys even made ruthless words, as long as the armor, rats and crossbows were not sold, they would not buy them, making it like the Qin Empire forced them to buy them.
They can understand this emotion, after all, the gap between the two short crossbows is too big. Three hundred steps were cut into one hundred steps, shortening a full two hundred steps. These two hundred steps were enough to make the soldiers shoot more than a dozen enemies.
Chang Zifei smiled disdainfully at the opposition of the envoys of various countries. Under the unhappy eyes of everyone, Chang Zifei smiled disapprovingly: "You are not fools, and Daqin is not fools. If Daqin sells armored rat crossbows, wouldn't it be a stone to shoot himself in the foot? Can you guarantee that you will never be enemies with Daqin forever?"
"I am not lying to you. Daqin is just worried that you will use armored rat crossbows to deal with me Daqin. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the interests between countries are even more elusive. For example, the love of Qin and Jin in the past was widely spread throughout the world, but under this beautiful name, Daqin was stabbed in a confused manner and almost destroyed his country!"
"As the saying goes, once you are bitten by a snake for ten years, you are afraid of a well rope. Daqin has suffered a loss once, and will never suffer a loss a second time. I will put it here today. Daqin only sells B-shift crossbows. Whether you buy it or not is your freedom!"
If you like to buy, don’t buy, get out if you don’t buy!
The envoys from all countries looked extremely ugly, and the three enemies, father and son, seemed to have eaten shit.
Just say it, why do you have to get involved in the Great Jin Empire?
"Oh~" Yue Zheng Zheng Zhang sighed heavily first, and said helplessly: "I dare to ask Lord Chang Xiang, what is the price of the Rat Crossbow?"
It is better to have it than not. It can be used even if it is a hundred steps. Isn’t the Huns’ sporting arts only a hundred steps? It’s still awesome.
The envoys from all countries stopped talking. Yes, whether to buy it or not, the Qin Dynasty was not afraid of it. It would be better to buy it. It would be better to have it than not.
"Ten taels!" Chang Zifei said without thinking.
In fact, the cost of a short crossbow is not high, it is only fifty yuan. The reason why Chang Zifei said it is so high is just to make more money.
"What? Ten taels!"
"A war horse is only ten taels, but a mere little thing is sold for ten taels. Lord Chang Xiang, are you too unscrupulous, or are you too unscrupulous in the Qin Dynasty?"
“It’s too expensive!”
"Mr. Chang Xiang, you are too much. We waited for the Qin Dynasty to give the news with anticipation, but we asked them to listen to the news. Why don't we rob the ten taels of silver?"
"Sir Chang Xiang, are you treating us as fools, or do the Qin court treating us as fools!"
