Needs

Making money is actually not difficult for Xu Yuan, but it is still difficult to get such a large sum of money in a short period of time, and it is very difficult.

After looking around the antique halls, Xu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and said tentatively to Hua Hong:

"Mr. Hua, if you want to purchase it, can the payment of this money be deferred?"

"Can't."

Hua Hong replied with a chuckle, and then asked, "Didn't you just say that you have a little money on hand?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan said with a cheeky smile:

"It's just because it's a small amount of money that I want to discuss it with you, old man."

"Small business can't be done on credit."

Hua Hong finally figured it out. This guy probably didn't even have enough money for this batch of ordnance. "Huizhou County, I will take care of the matter for you, but for this batch of ordnance, you can come back to me when you have enough money."

After saying that, Hua Hong stood up directly.

Xu Yuan saw this and took two quick steps to grab the opponent's sleeve, lowered his voice and said quickly:

"Mr. Hua, you should know that my plan is a big deal, why can't you be accommodating?"

"A big deal? Hehe. Boy, do you really want me to tell you the truth?"

Hua Hong glanced at Xu Yuan who was standing in front of him, and his voice sounded like a smile but not a smile:

"Prime Minister's Estate has no intention of sending troops to interfere with Eastern Isles. Why do you want Prime Minister's Mansion to pay for it? If you have to ask Prime Minister's Estate to contribute, you can go to Xu Yinhe and speak to your father. I will immediately coordinate with the following to mobilize the weapons for you."

"."

Be quiet for a while, Xu Yuan coughed lightly and continued talking:

"Mr. Hua, it's not like I won't give you this money. With my status and credit, I can't even exchange it for two battalions of ordnance? Moreover, we have decided on the settlement of the Underground Palace survivors, can they still run away?"

Hua Hong looked Xu Yuan up and down, hummed softly, and spit out two words:

"No."

Xu Yuan slapped his mouth and asked:

"Then as the president of Tian'an Chamber of Commerce, you should be able to help me with this, right?"

Hua Hong did not deny it and replied in a business-like manner:

"Yes, you can, but I don't want to help. Regarding Dongying Island, I hold the same attitude as your father. As far as Prime Minister's Mansion's interests are concerned, there is no need to follow the royal family's move."

Saying that, Hua Hong took a deep look at Xu Yuan:

"You should be able to figure out the reason for this."

"."

Xu Yuan Silently.

Di'an City almost turned into a torch. Although it was caused by the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was the Li Tian family that was hit in the face.

Li Yaoxuan was held up.

If he does nothing or only sends troops symbolically, this weak attitude will make many people in the country ready to take action. Therefore, in order to maintain the majesty of the royal family, he must send troops forcefully to teach him a lesson.

And this is exactly what Prime Minister's Mansion is happy to see.

Although the royal family and Prime Minister's Mansion are still on a united front, there is already a hidden edge in this cooperation, and it is impossible for Li Yaoxuan to leave the behemoth Prime Minister's Estate to his successor.

Once the royal family sends troops to Eastern Isles, its strength in Great Yan will inevitably be weakened to a certain extent.

To fight a war is to fight for national strength, let alone an overseas expedition.

Gently patting Xu Yuan on the shoulder, Hua Hong glanced at Bai Muxi who had been listening with his head down, and said softly:

"Changtian, I don't want to care about what you want to do with your private soldiers, and I can't. But as long as the interests of the Prime Minister's Mansion are involved, I will follow your father's orders.

"Of course,

"If you can follow the normal purchasing process, I can also give you some support."

"."

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes slightly and said softly:

"Okay. I get it."

Hua Hong breathed out gently:

"In that case, just follow my suggestion just now. The six battalions of ordnance will be delivered to you at the summer solstice next year."

"Wait a minute, I didn't say I didn't have money to pay for the ordnance."

"." Hua Hong.

Xu Yuan smiled softly:

"Old man Hua, please hurry up and mobilize the ordnance of these two battalions. I can pay you off within half a year."

It was not difficult for Xu Yuan to get money. It was rare to get such a large amount of money in a short period of time. However, on the first day of the new year, his grandfather revealed the information Feng Family had left to him. Plus some other secrets along the way, it was more than enough to arm two battalions of soldiers.

Seeing Xu Yuan's confident appearance, Hua Hong suppressed the impatience in his heart and said quickly:

"If you want to raise weapons and equipment, only the Spirit Blade tattoo is not enough. Demon Horse, chariots, military birds, etc. are all indispensable. Furthermore, you need to equip auxiliary ordnance such as Sun Veil and Sky Blaze."

"I know all this. Ordnance is purchased according to the regulations of Heaven-Serving Battalion in the Black Scale Army."

"Heaven-Serving Battalion?"

Hua Hong narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure you can afford it?"

"I'm sure." Xu Yuan said without any hesitation.

Each battalion in the Black Scale Army has its own battalion name, such as Formation-Breaking, Edge-Tempering, and Vanguard. However, the word "Fengtian" is not a fixed number for a certain battalion in the Black Scale Army, but a military system in which the proportion of heavy cavalry and military birds allocated is far higher than that of ordinary battalions, making it the elite among the elite.

Hua Hong frowned and walked back and forth in the spacious hall twice before looking back and saying:

"According to the military system of Heaven-Serving Battalion, it needs to be equipped with three heavy cavalry, two crossbowmen, and one heavy weapon. Among the heavy cavalry, there is one person and two horses. That is the Demon Horse with three thousand horses and heavy beast armor. The crossbowman has two crossbows and a hundred spiritual arrows."

"Okay, I know all this."

Xu Yuan interrupted Hua Hong and said directly:

"Just make preparations and you won't be short of money."

"Squeaky-"

Hua Hong sat down directly on the wooden chair in front of the tea table, pressed his temples and said no more, but his eyes still glanced at Xu Yuan and Bai Muxi from time to time.

Suddenly, the huge waiting hall fell into silence.

Hua Hong is considering.

Consider the credibility of Xu Yuan's words.

According to the scale of Tian'an Chamber of Commerce, two Heaven-Serving Battalion's ordnance can be considered a large-scale business, and the categories involved include almost all types of ordnance.

Because of Northern Border's war, the ordnance workshop accumulated by Tian'an Chamber of Commerce for decades has initially released its production capacity, but even so, two Heaven-Serving Battalion's ordnance will still need to occupy one-third of the entire chamber of commerce's ordnance production capacity for half a year.

If Xu Yuan can really deliver the payment on time, it will be fine. After all, with Tian'an Chamber of Commerce's current release of ordnance production capacity to support Northern Border's war effort, there is still a lot of slack.

The existing ordnance inventory can fill this gap without affecting the supply of soldiers on the Northern Border front line.

But if Xu Yuan fails to deliver, the capital chain of many small chambers of commerce under Tian'an Chamber of Commerce will be directly cut off, thus triggering a series of bad things that will spread all the way. Even if he can control it, his old bones cannot help Xu Yuan cover it up, if it causes high-level dissatisfaction with this kid.

Thought for a long time,

Hua Hong slowly raised his eyes and exhaled gently, his vicissitudes of voice without emotion:

"I can promise you this, but I need to explain something clearly to you first."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly:

"You said."

Hua Hong gently knocked on the back of the chair, his expression more serious than ever:

"Although Tian'an Chamber of Commerce belongs to the Prime Minister's Mansion, many small and medium-sized chambers of commerce under Tian'an Chamber of Commerce belong to local Aristocratic Clan.

"Many aspects of ordnance production are inseparable from them. We need them to provide raw materials, their metallurgical workshops to quench gold and iron, and even their array masters to engrave array patterns for ordnance.

"So in the past few decades, even if we have a subordinate relationship with them, we will ensure that they can get a share of the pie. Only in this way will they serve us loyally."

Speaking of this, Hua Hong paused and said:

"Changtian, do you understand this?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan suddenly chuckled and asked:

"Are you afraid that I will offend these people with nothing?"

Hua Hong stared at him and counted his breaths, his voice was very soft:

"I just want to tell you that in the past few decades, they have actually been trying to unite to form a force that can influence high-level decision-making. Now that the war has begun, you must not leave them any excuse. We cannot carry out another large-scale purge of them until everything is over.

"If you understand, I can arrange your purchase needs today."

The first day of continuous updates.
