Chapter 245: Dead Japanese are good Japanese
"Okay, but I have another business to talk to General Chen!" Zhang Zhongjian, a bearded guest, looked at Chen Ying and said, "If General Chen Ying agrees, Zhang will not take any money for this batch of goods, but can give General Chen another 50 million yuan!"
Chen Ying was slightly stunned when he heard this. He was secretly surprised just now. According to later novels, the bearded guest established a force overseas and was also known as the Fuyu Kingdom. However, he was not very clear about when the Fuyu Kingdom was founded and where it was founded. However, one thing is certain, Zhang Zhongjian is definitely the one who is not short of money.
Therefore, in terms of transporting this batch of armor, Chen Ying increased the commission by hundreds of times, for fear that he would not impress the bearded guest. Fifty million yuan is 50,000 jin. This money is a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but it is definitely nothing to put on Zhang Zhongjian.
Zhang Zhongjian smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang has a heartless request, and I hope General Chen will fulfill it!"
Chen Ying said: "Hiss Zhang, but it's okay!"
"I heard for a long time that General Chen has a general who works as a battalion. He is good at making weapons. His swords and guns are extremely sharp and his armor is extremely strong. Zhang wants to purchase a batch of armor from General Chen!" The bearded guest smiled and said, "The quantity does not need too much, just like the black armor under General Chen!"
As he said that, Zhang Zhongjian pointed at the Mo Dao Army soldiers beside Chen Ying and said, "Their armor is good, and I think the Mo Dao in their hands is also good. Zhang wants to buy 3,500 pairs of armor, 5,000 Mo Dao, and 10,000 horizontal swords. I wonder how much it costs?"
"It's easy to say about the price!" Chen Ying remembers that some novels say that the so-called Fuyu Kingdom was actually in Japan, and I don't know whether it is true or not. If the Fuyu Kingdom built by Zhang Zhongjian was really in Japan, Chen Ying really didn't mind fighting a proxy war. With Zhang Zhongjian's help, Chen Ying provided equipment, and both sides showed their strengths and fought with Japan. This kind of thing was common in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Africa during the 20th century.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying smiled and said, "I heard that Zhang Daxia still has a strong presence overseas. Is he in Japan?"
"Wa? It used to belong to Japan, but now it's not!" The bearded guest smiled and replied.
"Water?" Li Xiuning asked in surprise: "It is the Japanese that angered Yang Guang because of the 'the sun is from the emperor to the day of the book'?"
The so-called "The sun is coming from the emperor and the letter is not there" actually refers to the fact that during the former Sui Dynasty, the Japanese sent envoys to pay tribute. However, the king of the Japanese called himself the sunrise emperor and called Yang Guang the emperor and the Japanese emperor. His tone was very arrogant, which also angered Yang Guang and cut off contacts with Japan.
"That's right, that's the country of Japan!" The bearded guest nodded and replied, "Water is located in the eastern seas of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. It is only a small strait in the middle. There are three islands in Japan, with Honshu Island. The largest one. My place is located in the southernmost part of Japan. The area of this island is about the size of Zhongzhou. It is just like a big place, and more than a dozen countries have been established... Hehe!"
Hearing this, Chen Ying felt relieved.
In his heart, only the dead Japanese are good Japanese. Anyway, Chen Ying is not very clear about what Zhang Zhongjian did in history, but Chen Ying is happy to let Zhang Zhongjian harm the Japanese. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty has no strength and mind to take care of the offshore seas. In fact, it means that the Tang Dynasty will completely restore the unified territory until the fourth year of Zhenguan. In other words, the Tang Dynasty will not have the energy to take care of the East for at least the next ten years.
Chen Ying's biggest advantage in the Tang Dynasty was actually not fighting. The Tang Dynasty's most undesirable army was elite soldiers and generals. Even without Chen Ying, the Tang Dynasty could still beat the surrounding countries all over the ground. However, Chen Ying's best area was actually large-scale industrial production. Once Hebei was pacified, Chen Ying would focus on industrial production for a long time. With Chen Ying's ability, it only takes about three years to update the equipment of the entire Tang army. The equipment production capacity would be oversupply within five years. How can there be a consumption channel like Zhang Zhongjian that allows Chen Ying to quickly collect funds and complete the transformation from military industry to civilian fields.
"I'm afraid that Mr. Zhang can't afford it!" Chen Ying pointed to the Mingguang armor on Mo Daojun's body and said, "This armor is made of high manganese steel, and the hardness of the Bailian steel can be 40 or 50 higher than that of the Bailian steel. Just the guys in your hands can't hurt them at all. Zhang Daxia thought how much does it cost to sell for such a treasure armor?"
Zhang Zhongjian has actually seen it before. During the Battle of Paomaling, Zhang Zhongjian accidentally saw the Mo Dao Army lined up into a knife wall, advancing like a wall, killing the Xia army to defeat. While Chen Ying was cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Zhongjian relied on his skillful and bravery to quietly take over a set of Mingguang armor made of high manganese steel and a Mo Dao. After repeated trials, Zhang Zhongjian finally admitted that ordinary horizontal swords could not slash this Mingguang armor. The most amazing thing is that this pair of armor is lined with cork, which can effectively buffer the force on the armor and raise the impact force of the soldiers on the soldiers.
Zhang Zhongjian thought at that time that if he had such armor and Modao, he could have swept across the three islands of Japan (note, during this period, Japan did not form a unified country and Yamato nation). Zhang Zhongjian frowned and said, "How come he would sell for one or two hundred stakes of armor, right?"
In fact, Zhang Zhongjian didn't tell the truth. Such armor should be hard to find, but Chen Ying can produce it in batches and his defense is not reduced at all.
"Yes, a pair of armor is only 100 guan, and 3500 guan is only 350,000 guan. The price of Modao is only higher than that of armor!" Chen Ying's cost price at this time was only more than ten guan. Of course, he just wanted to sell it to Zhang Zhongjian, so that the two parties could reach a mutually beneficial relationship.
Zhang Zhongjian said: "This batch of equipment requires millions of stakes?"
"Yes!" Chen Ying nodded seriously and said, "And this is still the cost price, I have no profit at all."
"That's it!" Zhang Zhongjian said: "Is General Chen checked the cash?"
"Of course!"
Zhang Zhongjian smiled and said, "Just check the cash, just check the cash. If General Chen is willing to trade in silver, then I will double the high-manganese steel Mingguang armor, 10,000 Modao and 10,000 pairs of Mingguang armor. As for the horizontal sword, 30,000, all of them will be only 5 million taels. This time, I went to Qinglin to transport goods. Zhang transported General Chen for free, without taking any penny. As for the deposit, I hope General Chen will send him a count."
"Oh..." Chen Ying remembered that although Japan was a resource-scarce island country, they seemed to be God's darlings. From the 16th century to the Edo period, Japan's Ishimi Silver Mine in Ota City, Shimane Prefecture, Japan was the largest silver mine in Japan and even the world. Japan became one of the few silver producers in the world, so one-third of the world's silver was produced in Japan at that time, and Japan was therefore called the "Silver Islands" by the Ming Dynasty. At that time, when the output was the highest, Japan produced as many as 200 tons of silver a year. If it was converted into two, it would be 6.4 million taels.
Although Zhang Zhongjian did not occupy the three islands of Japan in full, it was obvious that his hand had reached to Honshu Island. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take out five million taels of silver without blinking.
Of course, it is impossible to take out the five million taels of silver in a year, and it will take three years to deliver it in installments. However, if five million taels of silver pour into the Tang Dynasty, this is not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty. Instead, it is likely to cause a new round of inflation. Such a large amount of money pouring into the Central Plains will not only impact the Central Plains' agriculture, handicrafts, but also the textile industry, which may cause the earliest economic crisis in history.
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "This is not possible. You must not deliver it all with silver. We can use the method of silver six, grain two and wood two to deliver it. I want as much wood as the three islands of Japan, and I also want the grain. Of course, Japan's rice production is limited, but since Zhang Daxia has a ship, he can completely cross the Indochina Peninsula from Zhuzi Island!"
"Indochina Peninsula?" Zhang Zhongjian thought about it, but he really didn't know that there was still this place.
Looking at Zhang Zhongjian's face full of confusion.
Chen Ying took a branch and gently sketched the location map of the four islands of Japan on the ground, and then drew simple graphics of Ryukyu and the Indochina Peninsula.
Looking at the Central and Southern Half drawn by Chen Ying, Zhang Zhongjian smiled and said, "So it's Lin Yi!"
After Emperor Wen of Sui destroyed Chen, the world was peaceful. It happened that Lin Yi did not pay tribute for a long time. The ministers all said that there were many strange treasures there. Emperor Wen felt itchy after hearing this (hehe, the story of Liu Song was very attractive), so he sent General Liu Fang to the south to fight at the end of Renshou. King Linyi led the giant elephant to fight, but the Sui army could not defeat him. Liu Fang came up with a plan, so he dug many traps on the battlefield, then pretended to retreat, and Linyi soldiers pursued him relentlessly. As a result, all the elephant soldiers fell into chaos and were defeated. Liu Fang fought to the capital, and the eleven gold gods were plunders. In the first year of Daya, Emperor Yang of Sui (605), Yang Guang sent troops to fight south to destroy Linyi and divided the land into three counties. The people were dissatisfied and repeatedly resisted, and finally restored the country successfully.
Chen Ying drew the terrain of the Champa Kingdom in later generations and said: "In Champa Kingdom, there is a kind of rice called Champa rice that can grow three seasons a year, and the harvest can reach up to five stones per mu. Zhang Daxia can send people to Champa Kingdom to transport the rice back. As long as it is transported to Chang'an, I will settle the rice price for you at the Chang'an rice price!"
Because Li Tang established the country at this time, and the food price in Guanzhong was rising steadily, and now it has exceeded 200 citrus per stone. Zhang Zhongjian calculated silently that he had more than 3,000 ships of all sizes, and each time he could transport about 600,000 cirrels of rice. It was also worth tens of thousands of cirrels.
As for the name of the timber from Japan, Chen Ying was not kind. If all the forest trees in Japan were cut down at this time, once the ecological balance was broken, it would be a question whether Japan could grow grass in the future.
Zhang Zhongjian and Chen Ying were having a casual conversation. In a few words, the fate of Japan and Champa was already destined.
However, under the promotion of Chen Ying, a butterfly in another world, a new round of bloody storm was set off in Japan.
Chen Ying did not have any conscience. He always believed that only dead Japanese people would be good Japanese people.
