Yang Wen did not comment, but asked: "What's the discount on the price?"
"Tell the clan leader and you'll get a 50% discount." Yang Chang replied respectfully.
Yang Wen continued to ask: "50% off, the price is okay, but I wonder how the performance is?"
"It's more expensive to blow hair and make quick decisions, but it's cheaper to cut copper like clay." Yang Chang's voice was full of pride. These are not only good in performance but also mass-produced. Only Zhaojiazhuang can do this.
Before Yang Wen could speak, Yang Lei had already jumped out: "You don't have to make a draft when you brag. I believe that a sword can have such performance, but many of you will never believe it."
Not only him, but the eyes of every room in the Yang family also showed suspicion.
"Come with the sword, come with the sword." Yang Chang shouted behind him.
Someone immediately agreed and brought twenty swords each.
Everyone looked at Yang Chang without blinking.
Yang Lei put down the tea cup and kept laughing while looking at Yang Chang.
Yang Chang pulled out a knife, pulled out a piece of hair, and blew it gently, and it was indeed broken into two pieces.
Yang Lei's face suddenly changed. He didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.
This was not over yet. Yang Chang picked up another sword and blew it gently with his hair, breaking it into two pieces.
Yang Lei's face was uncertain, and he winked at one of his subordinates.
This man named Yang Cheng came out immediately, bowed his hands to Yang Chang and asked, "May I ask Rongzhi, how much does it cost?"
"Fifty percent off, five hundred guan." Yang Chang replied with some pride while returning the gift.
After all, he is the only one who has this channel for this peerless sword.
He thinks so, but others don't.
Yang Chengkou was stunned and immediately shook his head: "It's so expensive, too expensive."
These people just like to play the right role for you, even if you say 50 guan, they still think it's expensive.
This means that the party is united and opposes dissidents. It is not their group and they always find reasons to oppose.
"Expensive, the price of purchasing it from Qi Country is one thousand guan." Yang Rong replied lightly, and then bowed to Yang Wen: "Tell the clan leader, the price is like this, please make your decision."
Yang Wen pondered and asked, "Didn't Rongzhi say that there is another cheap one? How is its performance?"
As a clan leader, he must consider all aspects and try to balance these interests.
"It's no problem to cut off the copper coins." After saying that, he pulled out another knife, stacked a few copper coins, and cut them down with one knife, and the coins broke with a sound.
Yang Wen was also observing carefully, with a look of satisfaction on his face. While stroking his beard, he asked, "What's the price?"
"Only fifty strings, fifty percent off." Yang Chang retracted his scimitar and bowed to Yang Wen.
Yang Wen didn't speak. He glanced at each room with majestic eyes and saw each room looking at him, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Yang Wen was extremely satisfied. No matter how his men fought over it, he still had to make the final decision.
He nodded, and a majestic voice slowly came out of his mouth: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. We have already had these weapons since the Qi Kingdom, how can the Yang family fall behind? Besides, the little saint is still Give the Yang family a 50% discount."
After hearing this, many members of the Yang family were overjoyed, with smiles on their faces.
Yang Lei and Yang Cheng were actually happy in their hearts, but they and Yang Rong and Yang Chang were from two different factions, and their expressions did not show it, but were a little solemn.
This is a faction, and the dignity of the faction must be maintained.
As a result of the discussion, Yang purchased 10,000 thunderbolts, 150 Hu-killing swords and 1,000 Polu swords.
Seeing that the family meeting had all passed, Yang Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to build the military fortress of Hailongwei. The cost was at least ten times more than this.
Most of the Hu people live in the golden autumn of October, and the leaves are as red as the flowers in February due to frost.
Mengge Khan convened the Golden Horde Conference, which was equivalent to the enlarged conference in later generations and had the highest standards.
Although the scenery outside was nice, no one was in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
Because the Hu people were defeated, and they suffered such a heavy defeat for the first time.
Sixty thousand soldiers and horses were lost at one time, including 15,000 cavalry and 2,000 archers.
But when they heard that Wang Dechen suddenly "married his country", some Han officials suddenly felt a chill deep in their hearts.
The Hu people, who have always been invincible, were almost completely wiped out by the enemy with an army of 100,000. This was the first time in the world.
Except for the Hu people who were a little indifferent, all the Han officials were thinking, what happened to the Hu people this time?
Aren’t the barbarians invincible across the world? Why did they encounter iron nails this time?
However, these Han Chens have doubts in their hearts, but they will never say it out loud.
After all, they are the subjects of the Hu people, not the Han people.
Even so, when they looked at the Han courtiers, they all noticed doubts in each other's eyes.
Since these Han courtiers could not speak, they only communicated with their eyes, nodded, and then walked away.
Kublai Khan, Tahai Hetu, Ali Hague, A Shu, Shi Tianze, Guo Kan, Dong Wenbing, Lian Xixian, Zhang Wenqian, Liu Honghui, Zhao Bi, Yao Shu, Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Rou and other civil and military ministers gathered together.
The Golden Account Conference is completely different from the usual meetings. The last time it was a relatively casual meeting of some ministers regarding Zhao Ping's "War Theory", then the Golden Account Conference is a meeting to discuss state affairs.
Although the entire western army had a total of 600,000 men, the loss this time was more than 10%, which was enough to attract the attention of the Hu people.
After all, this was the first time that they had lost so many troops and a general, and Wang Dechen, affectionately known as "Brother Tian", was deeply appreciated by the former Great Khan.
Meng Gehan glanced at these one by one without missing even a trace of expression.
Although Han Chen concealed it well, Meng Gehan still noticed the confusion in their eyes.
"Reporting to the Great Khan, I think it's not that the warriors of the Khanate are incompetent, but that the Han people are incapable of attacking." Kublai Khan looked at Shi Tianze, Zhang Rou and others coldly.
Don't think that you Han people are so great. This battle has exposed your secrets.
Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou looked at each other with blazing anger in their eyes.
Shi Tianze's eyes widened: "Then let's go out and have a duel."
But he could only think this way, but he couldn't say it.
Among the Hu people, the Mongols are a thousand people, the Semu people are second-class people, and the Han people are only third-class people.
Since he is a third-class person, it is natural for him to be scorned by a first-class person.
The two looked at each other and found that each other was deeply unwilling.
This was not the end, Tahai and Tu also came out, bowed their hands to Mengge Khan and said: "I would like to report to the Great Khan that the last general suggested that Han people should not be used to attack the Southern Barbarians in the future. Their force is really not good enough."
"Report to the Great Khan that the Han people and the Southern Barbarians have the same ancestry. They are unwilling to fight and have no intention of doing so." Ali Hague also came out to add insult to injury.
Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou also wanted to jump out and defend themselves, but the opponents were not only three of them, but also first-class Mongolians.
The two thought for a while, then bit their mouths tightly, almost biting their lips.
Ah Shu looked at Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou with disdain and came out to report: "Great Khan, although the Han people are not good at fighting, Tian Geer has always been invincible and has never been defeated before. He is loyal to the Khanate and should be given a posthumous title. "
Although Wang Dechen was a Han before, he has become a Mongolian and should enjoy this treatment.
The key point is that Wang Dechen worked so hard for the Khanate and made great contributions. If he was not given a posthumous title, wouldn't it be a chill for the barbarian generals present.
Ah Shu's words were immediately supported by everyone present. No matter how dissatisfied Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou were, they also agreed.
Don't think that only literati like to leave their names, military generals also like to have their names go down in history.
This is easy to understand. As long as you are a human being, who doesn't like to live in glory, otherwise what is the meaning of life?
A posthumous title is a coffin evaluation given by the court to a person who has made contributions and status. It is an extraordinary person who enjoys this kind of treatment.
Since it is a posthumous title, who has a posthumous title?
Let's take a look. Only after the death of emperors, princes, ministers, and high-ranking officials, the court will give them a title based on their behavior during their lifetime to praise and criticize good and evil, that is, a posthumous title.
Meng Gehan nodded and asked Yang Weizhong, the acting prime minister, to give him a posthumous title.
"I report to the Great Khan that Brother Tian has been loyal and brave throughout his life," Yang Weizhong thought for a moment, came out and bowed his hands and replied: "Wei Chen suggested that the posthumous title be "Zhonglie"."
Meng Gehan thought for a while and nodded: "Yes."
After giving Wang Dechen the posthumous title of Brother Tian, the morale of the generals increased.
Although the morale of the generals is higher, there is still confusion in the eyes of the literati, and this must be eliminated.
He looked around with fierce eyes and said coldly: "My Huren Great Khanate has millions of people who can control the strings. Its territory is more than fifty times that of the Southern Barbarians. It spans the world and sweeps across the Liuhe. What about the Kingdom of Jin, the Kingdom of Liao, and the Kingdom of Huazizi?" The Mo, Ruos Kingdoms, Kipchak Khan, Lihe, Moscow Grand Duchy, Burial Kingdom, Hungary, Poland, etc., these were all destroyed under the iron heel of our Khanate. The army of our Khanate threw itself into the Chuanjiang River of the Southern Barbarians. , can stop the flow of the Sichuan River. Now how can it be stopped by a small firearm of the Nanman?"
The civil and military ministers were originally a little afraid of Zhao Ping's unknown firearms, but when they thought about it, weren't these large kingdoms such as the Jin Kingdom and Huacizimo, which had far larger territories than the Southern Barbarians, also wiped out under the iron heel of the Khanate?
It was only a matter of time before the Southern Barbarians were destroyed. The Jin Kingdom was particularly fierce. Its territory was twice that of the Southern Barbarians and its population was almost the same as that of the Southern Barbarians.
Thinking of this, all the civil and military ministers couldn't help showing happy expressions on their faces.
Seeing that the stimulating effect had been achieved, Meng Gehan changed the topic, and then handed the memorial to Yang Weizhong to read out, and then asked the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to express his views.
Kublai Khan was the brother of the Great Khan and recommended Meng Ge to become the Great Khan, so he was naturally the first to speak.
"Great Khan, my brother thinks that the archers of our Khanate are invincible in the world. The reason why Brother Tian failed was because he encountered firearms for the first time. The fact that his mount still survives proves that horses are very adaptable." He thinks that the barbarian archers are the best in the world. Invincible, he stood up and said, "If the archers of our Khanate are familiar with and adapt to the bombing sound of firearms, they can give full play to their long-range shooting capabilities and kill Zhao Ping Shuzi's so-called thunder cavalry. Therefore, my brother suggested that we can order Craftsmen made explosives to adapt the bow-riding horses to the sound of bombing, giving full play to the bow-riding capabilities of our Khanate."
After Yang Weizhong finished reading the memorial, he already had an idea.
"Report to the Great Khan, Wei Chen agrees with the prince's opinion and prepares craftsmen to make firearms. Wei Chen feels that although they are firearms, Zhao Ping's firearms are not the same in power. He must have improved his method. We can let people buy Zhao Ping's firearms. Let the craftsmen study and improve their own firearms by imitating Zhao Ping's firearms." He, the acting prime minister, then spoke. Although he agreed with Kublai Khan, he actually added some of his own ideas.
After all, Kublai Khan was a prince, and he was just a Han official. Even if he had his own ideas, he had to mix his own private goods with his approval.
Zhang Dehui was a die-hard supporter of Kublai Khan and still firmly supported Kublai Khan's memorial.
He was older and stood up slowly and said: "I'd like to tell you that firearms have two essential shortcomings. First, they cannot be thrown from long distances. Second, they are afraid of moisture. In the past, the Jin Kingdom's firearms were discovered by themselves. With these shortcomings, how can Zhao Ping's firearms be avoided? As long as we choose the right time to attack in the future, the Southern Barbarians will still be crushed by the iron hoof of our Khanate."
This man was very knowledgeable, and he clearly explained the weaknesses of firearms.
Zhang Dehui's words were supported by many Hu generals such as Wu Liang He Tai, Ta Hai He Tu, Ali Ha Ha, A Shu and many other generals.
After all, they rely on personal force and bow cavalry to conquer the world.
If the Khanate attaches great importance to explosives, wouldn't it make the Han people who master firearms look up, and maybe they will decline. This conspiracy must not let Zhang Dehui succeed.
At the same time, the only person who supported Yang Weizhong was Liu Bingzhong, a learned and talented Hanchen.
Mengge Khan nodded. He himself also advocated force and always looked down on the weak Han people. It happened to unify his thoughts through this Golden Horde Conference.
At this time, a timid Xue Jun came in, knelt on the ground with one leg, and handed over a battle report.
The eunuch took the battle report from Qixue Jun and presented it to Meng Ge Khan with respectful hands.
When Meng Gehan saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his hands were trembling a little.
Some civil and military ministers couldn't help but be shocked as to what could have caused the Great Khan to lose his composure.
It wasn't over yet. Meng Gehan suddenly stood up and stretched out his right foot.
With a bang, the table in front of him suddenly fell to the ground.
Immediately, the tea was poured out of the cup, spreading from the memorial to the marble floor of the hall.
When the eunuch saw it, he wanted to step forward to deal with it, but when he saw that the sweat was still angry, he had to lower his head and did not dare to look at the sweat, the case, and the memorial.
All the ministers looked at each other, wondering why the Khan was so angry.
Yang Weizhong winked at Kublai Khan and motioned for him to come out and ask questions.
Although he is acting prime minister, he is still a Han Chinese and is inherently disadvantaged.
And Kublai Khan was not only a barbarian, but also a prince.
Kublai Khan was a little unhappy. Even though you are the prime minister, you can order me, a prince, as if you didn't see it.
Yang Weizhong couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw Kublai Khan motionless.
Thinking of this, he saw Zhang Dehui.
Not only is Zhang Dehui ten years older than him, but he is also his political enemy. Their political views have always been at odds with each other.
This is very normal. Yang Weizhong is not only younger than him, but also has a higher official position than him.
The reason why Zhang Dehui praised Kublai Khan's bad feet was that he had no intention of investing in him.
Yang Weizhong had no choice but to think about it and had no choice but to bite the bullet and salute Zhang Dehui, hoping that he would persuade Kublai Khan.
