Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 4 Chapter 88: Make a deal

   "Let's go, this officer will take your envoy to see the weapons and equipment provided by your country to your country." Without a word, Zhou Yi got up and walked outside the door with Babu.

   Logically speaking, this kind of incident should be negotiated by the Foreign Affairs Department of the Administrative Office, but because of the special status of Naturalization City and the distance of more than 700 kilometers away from Apocalypse City.

   And because Guihua City is also a window of foreign trade, there are many things that need to be dealt with in time, so Yang Song also gave the chief official of Guihua City some diplomatic power. Zhou Yi said he was the mayor, rather than a "governor."

   If everything needs Apocalypse City to make a decision, the passing of letters and the distance can make Xia Guo's diplomat collapse!

Soon they found Liu Yan at the gate of the city. Zhou Yi and Liu Yan said that they needed to borrow the military camp’s schoolyard. After using them, they were accompanied by Liu Yan to the military camp and saw two sets of equipment neatly arranged in the middle of the schoolyard. .

"This...this is..." Babu looked at the unique military camp and the weapons and equipment placed in the open space. He was taken aback. He couldn't believe it and said to Zhou Yi: "This is not your Xia country's weapon. Equipment? Are you selling now?"

It’s no wonder that Babu was so surprised. You must know that Fulimet has always been greedy with Xia’s army’s weapons and equipment, but no matter what they say, Xia is not selling it. I didn’t expect that Xia would be willing to sell it now. Why not? Shocked him?

   "Haha~ Look at what you said, aren't these weapons and equipment placed in front of your Excellency?" Zhou Yi saw Babu's expression and was very satisfied.

  Bab slowed down, watching the weapons and equipment placed on the stand, his eyes lit up, and after looking at it carefully for a while, he discovered the nuances in it.

   "Your Excellency, how come these equipment are old? And there are only two, what about other types of weapons and equipment?"

   Facing Babu’s question, Zhou Yi calmly replied: “These are the weapons and equipment replaced by the fighters of the country. Of course they are old. As for the types of issues, currently only these two are sold in the country.”

   These two sets of weapons and equipment are the shield soldier suit and the pike soldier suit. They are all melee equipment. There are no heavy equipment, no long-range equipment, and even relatively cheap bows and arrows.

   As for why Xia Guo sells these weapons and equipment now, of course Yang Song wants to change outfits for the entire army!

   The intelligence from the plundering battlefield showed that the performance of the Shenji Camp on the battlefield was very good, which made the Guards following them look enthusiastic. Zhou Wu immediately sent a message to Yang Song that he would equip the Guards with guns.

   "Okay." Looking at these equipment, Babu thought to himself that he must exchange for these weapons and equipment, but the price must still be talked about: "But the price is still too high. It's still old equipment."

   "The price is not high anymore. These weapons and equipment are all made of stainless steel. Have you ever seen such cheap stainless steel weapons?" Zhou Yi doesn't take this set, anyway, he has the initiative.

   "Then the price of food is too high, the quantity is still so small." Babu again bargained from the food aspect.

  ……

   After a long period of bargaining, the transaction was finally reached with five gold coins and a set of equipment, and five thousand people were given food for one hundred days. If these food were bought with money, it would cost a thousand gold coins.

   However, for Xia Guo, it is very cost-effective to exchange some obsolete equipment for a large number of indigenous labors. The wealth that these indigenous labors can create for Xia is not comparable to this 20,000 gold coins.

  Moreover, the weapons and equipment traded are selective, such as medium-sized armors that are nearly scrapped, melee weapons, not even a bow and arrow, let alone strong crossbows and crossbows, these equipment will not be sold.

In the course of the transaction, Babu saw that Xia Guo was willing to sell these weapons and equipment, so he tentatively asked Zhou Yi: "I don't know if Xia Guo's fire-breathing and explosive weapons can be sold. If you sell it, No matter how many slaves the home country can provide, your advantage will be indispensable at that time."

   "Can breathe fire? Can breathe fire? Your messenger is talking about artillery, right?"

   "Artillery? Yes, yes, yes, it is artillery." Because of Xia's secrecy and relatively isolated country, until this moment, people in this world learned the name of "artillery" from Zhou Yi's mouth.

   Zhou Yi looked at Babu who wanted to buy artillery at all costs and even bribed him. Zhou Yi was very disdainful and even amused.

   But after all, the other party is a "customer", Zhou Yi still replied: "You can't think about it, the artillery messenger. Even if you sell the entire Fulimet country to your own country, your country will not sell artillery."

   Bobu looked at Zhou Yi's determined attitude, and even got a little angry. He was changing his place and thinking about it. If Fulimet had artillery, he would definitely not sell it, and he would no longer be entangled with artillery.

   After the negotiation is completed, the contract is signed, the goods are handed over, and all the procedures are completed in the middle of the same day, and this transaction is considered to be completed.

   After the transaction, Zhou Yi hosted a banquet with the restaurant to receive Babu. When the next day, Babu was afraid of long nights and dreams, and immediately decisively took 5,000 soldiers, 5,000 sets of equipment and some food on his way home.

   Because of the limited transportation capacity, the remaining grain can only be shipped slowly in the future. Anyway, the transaction with Xia Guo is not once or twice. There is still trust in this point.

The first thing that Zhou Yi did after completing the transaction was to report to Apocalypse City, and he released a pigeon marked with the Apocalypse City logo~www.novelmtl.com~ and Xia Guo’s pigeons are roughly divided into two types, one is medium. The short-range fast carrier pigeon can fly as far as 500 kilometers and can fly more than 150 kilometers per hour.

The other is the long-range homing pigeon released by Zhou Yi, which can fly thousands of kilometers, but the speed per hour is much worse. It looks like 120 kilometers per hour, plus mid-course foraging. , Time will come longer.

However, Xia Guo has perfect measures for homing pigeons. The people are strictly prohibited from hunting and killing homing pigeons. Offenders are severely punished. In addition, a fixed feeding point is set up at intervals so that the homing pigeons can easily forage, instead of allowing the homing pigeons to forage. And delay time.

   Even in order to protect the homing pigeons, one of the duties of the city guard is to hunt wild birds of prey along the road. In order to ensure the rapid circulation of information, Xia Guo put a lot of effort into it.

   And after Yang Song got the news of the 50,000 indigenous labors, he counted the existing indigenous labors in Xia State.

In addition to the 50,000 people just obtained through the transaction, there are more than 10,000 young and strong labors plundered by the army, plus the young and strong labors obtained from the scattered trades of Guihua City, and there are more than 60,000 in total. .

   Yang Song immediately summoned Liu Ji, Xun Yu, and others to see him, and the first thing he said to Liu Ji who hurried over was: "You can start building the railway!"
