Realm of Power

The sunlight shines on the spreading tiger pattern on the gorgeous window sill. The water of the girl's fountain in the center of the courtyard is like a waterfall falling down from the three-tiered round platform. Circles of water hit a hand, sparkling and swaying outward.

The person who stretched out his hand to explore the water was a middle-aged man with thin cheeks. He was wearing a Central Asian-style robe. His thick eyebrows were as sharp as knives. Looking at Shui Mu who was blocked by his own hand, the ends of his eyebrows were slightly twitching. The eyes under the raised eyebrows are extremely rare for men to have long eyes.

The middle-aged man looked at the water curtain spreading in his hands, his eyes cold and tough, as if he wanted to turn into a knife to split the scattered water curtain and see the secret inside.

"Sir, this is the rumored fountain. It is the most common decoration in the courtyards of Western barbarian nobles. Most of the statues are made by famous artists. They are completely driven by the mechanism under the base. The water flows continuously and never stops. It is a masterpiece. "A Central-Bian businessman explained with a flattering face next to the man.

"The things of the Western Barbarians are just show-offs. I don't think there is anything in the Central Bian Empire. Such strange and ingenious things cannot be used as food or clothing. So much thought has been spent on them, that is, An ornament not worth showing off." The middle-aged man shook the water on his hand vigorously to the ground, curling his lips in disdain.

Hearing the dissatisfaction in the man's tone, the Central and Bian businessman, who had a fat face and sparkling eyes, hesitated for a moment and said cautiously.

"My Lord, this is not entirely the case. Although the Western Barbarians are barbaric, they still have many interesting things. For example, the Thunder God in this negotiation. I heard that His Majesty ordered the purchase of fifty gates from the Falcon Empire. This It’s not a small number. According to the current market price of Thor or Opalo, this is a big deal of nearly three million!”

"Three million? Are you sure that's the price?"

The middle-aged man known as Bu Ge raised his head, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his eyes narrowed into a thin line. The already narrow and cold eyebrows looked even more like a knife. The businessman's words made the middle-aged man feel pressure. This time, the court gave them less than one million yuan despite their full budget. Everyone Everyone thinks that since the Thunder God was created by the Western Barbarians, it will naturally become cheaper as you go west. When the Western Barbarians sold it to Zhongbia for 20,000 per door, then when it comes to the land of the Western Barbarians, the Thunder God will die for only 10,000. door price.

Who would have thought that the price Thor paid here was three times what it was sold to in China!

With the little money I brought, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete even half of the task. How will I explain it then? The emperor and all the generals were eagerly looking forward to the early arrival of these thunder gods. Time waits for no one. Who knows how long a Yanzhou can hold back the grassland people, and the consequences of abandoning Yanzhou. Everyone knows very well that to give up Yanzhou is to give up the sky of the central land.

If Yanzhou had stood up, he might have survived this difficult period. The imperial court may be able to return to the imperial capital, which is haunted by dreams. This kind of thing is not unfamiliar in the central land, and has been in the past dynasties. The current dynasty is not the only one who was forced to move to Beijing because of the people from the grassland moving south.

But that time, after the arrogant prairie people plundered. They have to return to the grassland. They come like locusts. After gnawing, they will naturally disappear. After all, there are only so many people in the grassland. If they die, they will be more than two million. They are completely unable to compete with those who control the central land. Compared with the more than 200 million people in Central and South Africa, the fear of the huge population in the central land has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the grassland people for eighteen hundred years. The grassland people are just a gust of wind that can blow the grass, touch the woods, and even turn into dragons. The volume stretches straight through the sky and the earth, forming a rather spectacular The sky is overwhelming, but for the extremely strong earth, the wind, apart from lifting up some wind dust, is only in vain and finally disappears. There has never been a grassland regime that has truly controlled the central land, but this time is different, Yeluhong Tai came with wind and thunder, uprooted the newly resurrected military power of Central Asia, established the Yelu Royal Court, shocked the surrounding areas, controlled more than 60 cities in the central region, with a population of more than 10 million, and vaguely established a ruling kingship in the central land. meaning,

This time, the Zhongbia court was really panicked. If Yeluhongtai had been on the north bank of the river, wouldn't Linhang be under the shadow of the opponent's troops at any time!

"Don't you know the price of Thunder God in Oparo?"

When the Zhongbia businessman saw the middle-aged man's face, he didn't know why such an idea flashed through his mind. He secretly guessed that the clan had sent a letter saying that the court had ordered the abandonment of Yanzhou, and took advantage of the grassland people on the north bank of the river to take care of themselves. Build an iron wall on the hundreds of miles of river in the back that can block the prairie cavalry from going south, just to temporarily stabilize the situation, and slowly move towards Bei Tumou, this Tang Han master came here just for this matter. I don’t know where the grassland people got the thunder god. For a long time, they really attacked the city and conquered all the strongholds. The people everywhere were panicked and the grassland people were in trouble. We will cross the Yangtze River at one point and approach Linhang City, the new imperial capital. We will reenact the brutal killing of the grassland people in the hundred-mile long court of the imperial capital.

If it weren't for the critical moment when Long Yang, the empire's number one general, ordered the two most elite field groups of the Long Family's Western Army to move to the flanks of the prairie people, and Yelu Hongtai had to withdraw his troops, who knows whether another collapse would have occurred! The gentleman who came here is named Tang Han. He is the second-in-command of the Tang Clan, known as the Emperor’s Moneybags, among the four great lords of China. He is also the chief minister of the internal cabinet of the China-Bia Empire. He is also the special envoy to the Falcon Empire on behalf of the China-Bia court. , in China, this Tang Han was mainly responsible for matters related to arms sales, and was sent by the emperor to deal with Negotiating with the empire is considered to be within the responsibilities, and the deputy of Lord Tang Han is actually a member of the Li family who has been scolded for the defeat of the imperial capital, Li Bolong. Since that turmoil, the Li family has not only lost its prime minister, We also lost the head of the military department, which can be said to be empty-handed with money and money, and the aura of the most powerful family in the empire.

"Haha, I know something about it, but I didn't expect that the Thunder God of Ximanzi would be so valuable."

Tang Han coughed dryly without changing his expression. He had covered up his brief lapse, but he was thinking secretly in his heart. He might not be able to complete the purchase of Thor. If it was an ordinary matter, at most he would just explain it, and the emperor wouldn't do it. Too much pursuit, but not this time

The purchase of the Imperial Thunder God is related to the construction of the long river iron wall that the emperor has high hopes for. This is a red line that the emperor cannot touch. In fact, everyone knows that the emperor consciously lost Yanzhou and was hit by Yelu Hongtai's series of fierce attacks. The area was already in disarray. I don’t know why but I followed the advice of General Luo Yayang, who had disgraced the court last year, and used manpower and material resources to build a Yanzhou barrier in front of Linhang.

The emperor is holding back his strength and wants the whole of China and Bia to see that the emperor is not someone who is greedy and afraid of death! You must arrange your own defenses, and the mistake of abandoning the Baili Changting Palace will never happen again! At present, the military strength is tight, and the empire's finances have shrunk significantly. The emperor is counting on the thunder god, a powerful weapon to cheer up the people of the country. If he does not bring enough thunder gods, any explanation will be a dead end!

"Actually, not all Thors are so valuable. Only the Thors of the Falcon Empire have such outrageous prices."

The businessman looked around and saw that there was no one else, then he carefully whispered, "If you are willing, you don't necessarily need to buy the Falcon Empire Thunder God. As I said before, the Western Barbarians don't It’s just the Falcon Empire. Weapons like Thor are not unique to the Falcon Empire.”

"My lord, with all due respect, as your lord said, Ximanzi's things are just fancy and pretty. To put it bluntly, Thor is just like that. On the contrary, it's the price difference. Have you ever thought about it?"

"Price difference?" Tang Han's eyes flashed with light,

The Central Asian businessman took a deep breath with burning eyes and slowly said word by word, "The Falcon Empire's Thunder God can be sold in Obarro for 60,000 gold coins, while the Thunder Gods of other countries can sell for at most 60,000 gold coins." That’s three to four thousand gold coins, a difference of twenty times. If you get it during this period, it will be a huge profit that cannot be counted. As for Thor, is it not a matter of your words whether he belongs to the Falcon Empire or not?”

"Oh? You mean not to buy from Falcon Empire, but from other countries?"

Tang Han's expression changed, his eyes flickered, and he looked thoughtful. The twenty-fold difference was indeed very touching, but it was also too risky. What if he was found out?

Seeing that Tang Han was moved, the businessman struck while the iron was hot and said, "I heard that the princess of the Li family was the one pulling the strings this time. If that is true, then even if there is a problem, it is also the problem of the Li family. What does it have to do with you, sir?" ( To be continued)
