"Morality doesn't matter at all."
In response to Zhao Jun's teasing gaze, Zhao Duan shook his head and said indifferently.
I have been the emperor for so many years. He is no longer as innocent as he was when he was a prince.
As long as it can bring benefits to the Song Dynasty in the end, then morality can be let go.
Besides, this thing is not immoral as they say, it’s just a little packaged. The victim might have been sold by himself and he would have to pay himself some money.
It's just packaging. Da Song knows this stuff very well.
But what really worries Zhao Duan are the officials in the court.
The method is a good one, but it is people who implement it. As for this year's military pay, those guys can make so many mistakes.
If the arms trade really starts with Luo Luo, can these officials hold back the money and food involved during that period?
They only need to make some adjustments in terms of quantity, and then they can squander the court's money all over the world.
Even if the other party gives enough, these officials may even dare to resell the new weapons in the Song Dynasty army.
Don't think that Zhao Jun is exaggerating because of their temperament. Zhao Duan has strong confidence that they will definitely do this.
Looking at his father's sad face, Zhao Jun chuckled and said, "If you, father, are worried about those ministers, you can cooperate with me!"
"Cooperate with you?"
Zhao Duan said in surprise.
Zhao Jun nodded: "I have nearly a hundred ships under my command. As long as Father, you open the port of Caiyun County, the ships from there can go directly to Shunluo to do business.
And the only thing you need to do, father, is to let them hand over the weapons to your subordinates. You can rest assured that we will buy as many weapons as you give us, and we will never be greedy for your money.
only……"
"Just what?"
Zhao Duan knew that this boy was definitely not that kind, so he asked angrily.
Zhao Jun rubbed his hands and said hehey: "Yiha Ti Te, you see, we have taken care of all the transportation transactions and so on. Old man, you have to pay us the cost.
Otherwise, let me work in vain, and I will never die here. "
"How many do you want?" Zhao Duan asked after glancing at him.
"Not much, not much! Just four or five will do it!"
"Huh? Who's four and who's five?"
"Of course it's your four sons and five ministers!"
Zhao Duanteng stood up in an instant, looked at his sixth son, and said with a gloomy face: "You are too cruel. I am responsible for all the weapons, and I want to open the port for you.
As a result, you only gave me 40% of the income, while you took 60%. Is that okay? "
Zhao Jun said matter-of-factly: "Father, you can't just look at the price of the weapons, you also have to think about the manpower and material resources we need to consume along the way to transport these weapons, as well as transportation capacity and other miscellaneous things. The silver was brought back.
We only charge 60%, which is a very favorable price. "
Zhao Duan sneered: "Haha..."
Shaking his head firmly, he slowly sat back in his seat and said decisively:
"Sixty percent impossible!
I must not take the little head! "
"Then how much do you want to take?" Zhao Duan asked.
"Ninety-one! I am ninety-one!"
"That's impossible!"
This time it was Zhao Jun's turn to jump.
He stood up suddenly and said: "Father, how many ships do I have to call in order to transport your rags to Zuluo?
How much manpower will be needed?
There is also the consumption of materials during transportation. These are not a small number. It is absolutely impossible on September 1st. You should let the ministers sell it to you. I am afraid that you will not be able to get it in Chengdu by then.
Ten weapons were sold, but believe it or not, they dared to tell you that only half of them were sold! "
"Rags? How dare you tell me that everything in my treasury is all rags!"
"That's not the point!"
"That's the point!"
"Well, they sure are just a bunch of junk!"
"Okay, if you don't tell me something today, I will let you experience what it means to have a father's love like a mountain!"
Zhao Duan had a gloomy look on his face, stood up and was about to take off his belt.
Zhao Jun was startled and hurriedly said: "Father, if it were a normal government, the weapons in its inventory would definitely be good weapons, but are you sure that the weapons in the arsenal for civil servants are still the same as before?
In recent years, whether they are Japanese pirates, Tatars or Huns, they have used weapons from the Song Dynasty to fight against the Song Dynasty. Those weapons are not the active-duty weapons that have been issued.
Where did that all come from? "
Having said this, Zhao Duan stopped taking off his belt, and Zhao Jun breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "I am sure that the weapons in the treasury have been resold by them a long time ago. The treasury either doesn't have enough weapons, or they've all been replaced with junk.
A tenth of a weapon that can still be used intact is considered a high incense! "
The more Zhao Jun said, the more gloomy and terrifying Zhao Duan's face became, because he knew that these were most likely true.
But those are the military equipment of the Song Dynasty!
"At least the weapons in the capital's arsenal should still be usable!"
Zhao Duanyu said stubbornly.
Zhao Duan shook his head speechlessly, and then said: "Is it under your nose, or is it for the Forbidden Army? They really don't dare to go too far, but believe it or not, at least two-tenths of it is problematic.
I dare to bet you five hundred thousand taels of silver on this!
It depends on whether you dare to gamble! "
The corner of Zhao Duan's mouth twitched, he snorted and stopped talking. Zhao Jun grinned.
You still want to compete with me, humph, I will win if you compete with me!
After a while, Zhao Duan snorted coldly: "Humph, since they are all tatters, how can you sell them to the Taoluo people?" I'm not stupid, why would I want a tattered weapon? "
Zhao Jun rolled his eyes at him and said: "You are completely out of touch with this world, although those weapons are indeed broken in our opinion.
But at least they still have iron weapons in Piao and Qianluo!
Just like a sword that was damaged in battle and full of rust, we can call it the Tetanus Blade!
Anyway, those flatterers didn’t know him, so we told them that the knife was made like this on purpose, and it would be impossible to save the immortal with one blow.
We can say this for any weapon that can still cut impressively.
There are no products that cannot be sold in this world, only merchants who don’t know how to package them! "
After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he laughed quite proudly.
After he finished laughing, he realized that Zhao Duan was looking at him with a strange look on his face.
Suddenly he asked shyly: "Old man, why do you look at me like this? I'm not as good as Long Yang. Besides, I'm your son. What are we doing..."
"Shut up! I'm not as good as Long Yang!"
Zhao Duan's face was already covered with black lines. He just thought that when he was a child, he just didn't realize that this bastard was so suitable to be a profiteer. He dared to use a tetanus blade to fool people even with a rusty weapon.
Fortunately, he was born into a royal family. If he had been born among the people, I don’t know how many people would have had their families ruined by this bastard and would have to help him count his money!
But I didn't expect that this bastard actually thought he was so good as Long Yang!
Gan!
