Chapter 153 Sell or not?

Yun Hongxiao sent away the palace servants.

"My dear ministers, what do you think of the request of the Second Prince of Loulan?" Yun Hongxiao asked directly.

"Brother, our Flame is not the strongest among the four countries. For the sake of good neighborliness, we should consider it carefully." Yun Hongchen said, but did not clearly express his opinion.

"Father, I think we can give him the antidote, but we have to make a big deal out of them. Nearly 9,000 soldiers died in this battle. Their consolation money came from Loulan.

As for the blueprints of the ten-shot crossbow, we must not give them. Moreover, the ten-shot crossbow played a big role in helping me beat Loulan back this time.

If we lose the advantage of having the ten-shot crossbow, Loulan may invade our country again." Yun Xinglu said passionately.

He was the direct leader of this war and had the most profound experience.

Weapons are very important on the battlefield.

The strength of a single soldier cannot play a decisive role. Therefore, the five people brought by Loulan this time, even if they participate in the war, cannot greatly affect the outcome of the war.

What matters on the battlefield is the tactics of war, the coordination of soldiers, and the effective use of formations.

In this war, Yun Xinglu used the ten-shot crossbow very effectively to force the enemy back.

"Lu Er is right," Yun Hongxiao affirmed.

"Your Majesty, the second prince of Loulan is actually the eldest son of Emperor Loulan. The queen of Emperor Loulan was banished to the cold palace because she attacked the second prince's mother, Concubine Luo Guifei, and there has been no new queen until now. Concubine

Luo Guifei is the daughter of General Luo Lao, the great general of Loulan. It is very likely that Lou Haotian will succeed to the throne in the future.

Although he was defeated this time, the power behind him is very strong. His main purpose is to gain military merit for himself so that his right of inheritance will not be threatened in any way.

Although his two younger brothers are already adults, the power behind them is still far behind him. If we can make friends with Lou Haotian, it will still be of certain benefit to us, Yanyan." Feng Zuwen analyzed.

"So, Lord Feng, do you mean that we can give him the blueprint of the ten-shot crossbow?" Yun Hongxiao asked.

"If Loulan and Yanyan sign a peace agreement and there is no war within 20 years, then it's okay to give him the blueprint of the ten-shot crossbow.

We can't keep it secret for such a long time. There will be no benefit at all, as they will learn it anyway." Feng Zuwen thought that giving it away would not have much impact on the country.

After listening to Feng Zuwen's analysis, the people present fell into deep thought.

Indeed. If there is no war between Loulan and Yanyan. Then there is no point in hiding the ten-shot crossbow, and every country has spies, and sooner or later they will secretly learn it. It is better to take this opportunity to sell it for a good price.

Besides, if Yanyan has such a weapon, the other two countries will soon know about it. The spies will be active soon. The other two countries will learn sooner or later.

If Yanyan is sold to Loulan, the other two countries don't have to keep their eyes on Yanyan, and they can also divert some of their attention to Loulan.

"My dear Minister Chen, what is your attitude?" Yun Hongxiao asked Chen Zhizhong again.

"Your Majesty, I feel sorry for the dead soldiers. If I can get more consolation money for them, I will feel relieved. So I agree with Lord Feng's point of view."

"Do you have any other opinions?" Yun Hongxiao asked again.

"I also think that Lord Feng is right. Among the four countries, our Yanyan's military strength, territory, and population are not as good as theirs. We are indeed at a disadvantage. We should try to sign a peace agreement. It would be even better if we can form friendly relations. If another country invades one day, we can still ask for support." Yun Hongchen said.

But his idea was a little naive. Unless Yanyan is willing to be a vassal state of Loulan and pay tribute to them every year.

But no one wants to be a vassal state of another country unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Brother Chen, your idea may be a little difficult." Yun Hongxiao shook his head.

"Your Majesty, that ten-shot crossbow is really useful. It would be a pity to give it away." Yun Xinglu wanted to object.

"Lu'er, you have to understand that it is a crime to possess a treasure.

If we don't sell it to Loulan, the Water Dragon Kingdom and the Ice and Snow Kingdom might launch a war against our country and rob us.

They only need to get a sample from us to make it. The structure of the ten-shot crossbow is not complicated.

It may take less than half a year. The spies of the two countries will learn from us. Although we have taken perfect confidentiality measures, we can't help but use it. So now that Loulan wants it, sell it for a sum of money."

Yun Hongxiao also thought clearly about the interests involved and made the most favorable decision for the Flame Kingdom.

Yun Xinglu was speechless and made up his mind.

"My dear Feng, what about the antidote?" Yun Hongxiao asked about another request of Lou Lan.

Feng Zuwen had discussed this issue with Feng Tianxing last night. He

would only sell him the antidote, but not the formula.

Even if he was given it, he couldn't make it.

It was made from the spiritual medicine of the cultivation world, and there was no such medicine in the mortal world.

"Your Majesty, the antidote formula cannot be given to them. Even if you give it to them, they can't make it. You can sell the antidote to Lou Haotian." Feng Zuwen stopped there and didn't say much else.

He would not say that the medicine was from his daughter.

"Then how much do you plan to sell it for per pill?" Yun Hongxiao knew that the person who made the antidote was Feng Zuwen's man, and the price would be decided by Feng Zuwen.

"Your Majesty, how much do you think is a suitable price? We'll split it fifty-fifty." Feng Zuwen was very generous, and this was also the approach he had discussed with his concubine.

Upon hearing this, Yun Hongxiao's eyes lit up.

There is such a good thing?

Feng Zuwen was indeed always generous. He liked such ministers.

"Then it will be 100,000 taels of silver. And 200,000 taels of silver for the ten-shot crossbow. What do you think, my dear ministers?"

"Your Majesty, isn't it too cheap? Double it. They will definitely bargain." General Chen was a little unhappy.

Hearing the others laughing.

"Yes, my royal brother, double it. I support it."

"Okay, then double it. All right, my dear minister Feng stays, and you all can leave."

It was decided happily.

After everyone else left the study, Yun Hongxiao stood up from the dragon chair, walked to the window and sat down beside the tea table, and asked Feng Zuwen to sit down with him.

"My dear Feng, I have never asked you for so long. Did you really ask Doctor Zhou to cure my dear Chen's poison?

Don't treat me as a fool. My not asking does not mean that I know nothing.

You were injured and recovered so quickly. Your two sons were half dead and are now alive and well. Your niece was hemorrhaged during childbirth and was also saved...

I won't list them one by one. I just want to hear the truth from you."

As the king of a country, how could he not have his own eyes and ears?

Feng Zuwen listened to Yun Hongxiao's words and stared at him for a long time.

Only Feng Zuwen had the courage to look the emperor in the eye.

"Your Majesty, I have a very disrespectful request."

"What request?"

"If possible, please treat my concubine better. The better, the better it will be for you."

Yun Hongxiao narrowed his eyes when he heard it.

Sure enough, it was similar to the news he had received.

Everything was caused by the little daughter of the Feng family.

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that my concubine once said that your fourth prince was a god who came down to earth to experience disasters?"
