Chapter 544 Demand

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 at the antique halls, Xu Yuan rubbed his brows and said tentatively to Hua Hong:

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

"cannot."

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 smiled cheekily and said:

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

"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: "I will take care of the matters in Huizhou County for you, but for this batch of ordnance, come back to me after you have collected enough money."

After saying that, Hua Hong stood up directly.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan took two quick steps and grabbed 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:

"The Prime Minister's Office has no intention of sending troops to intervene in Japan for the time being. Why should you decide for yourself why the Prime Minister's Office should pay the bill? If you have to ask the Prime Minister's Office to contribute, you can go to Xu Yinhe and speak to your father. I will immediately coordinate with the people below to mobilize the weapons for you. "

"."

After a while of silence, 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 uttered two words:

"no."

Xu Yuan slapped his mouth and asked:

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

Hua Hong did not deny it and replied businesslikely:

"It's possible, but I don't want to help. Regarding the Japanese Island matter, I hold the same attitude as your father. In terms of the interests of the prime minister's house, there is no need to follow up on the royal family's move."

As he said that, Hua Hong looked at Xu Yuan deeply:

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

"."

Xu Yuan was silent.

Di'an City almost burned down. Although it was caused by the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was the Tian family surnamed Li who 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 the Prime Minister is happy to see.

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

Once the royal family sends troops to Japan, its strength in Dayan 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's 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 control it, but as long as it involves the interests of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will follow your father's orders.

"certainly,

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

"."

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes slightly and said softly:

"ok, I get it."

Hua Hong exhaled softly:

"In that case, just follow my suggestion. 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 weapons of these two battalions. I can pay you off within half a year."

It was not difficult for Xu Yuan to make money. It was rare to get such a large amount of money in a short period of time. But on the first day of the new year, his grandfather revealed to him the information about the Feng family's legacy, plus some other secrets along the way. It is more than enough for the Tibetan armed forces to raise two battalions of soldiers.

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

"If you want to raise weapons and equipment, it is not enough to have a tattooed spirit blade. Demon horses, chariots, military birds, etc. are all indispensable. Furthermore, you also need to equip auxiliary weapons such as sun-shielding and sky-blazing weapons. ”

"I know all this. Ordnance is purchased according to the regulations of Fengtian Camp within the Black Lin Army."

"Fengtian camp?"

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

"I'm sure." Xu Yuan didn't hesitate.

Each battalion in the Heilin Army has a name, such as Fengzhen, Quefeng, and Xianjun. However, the word "Fengtian" is not a fixed number for a certain battalion of the Heilin Army, but a military system in which rationing is used. The proportion of heavy cavalry and military birds far exceeds that of ordinary battalions, and they are among the elite among the elite.

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

"According to the military system of Fengtian camp, it needs to be equipped with three heavy cavalry, two crossbowmen, and one heavy weapon. Among them, there is one heavy cavalry person and two horses, which are three thousand demon horses and heavy beast armor. , a crossbowman, two crossbows per person, and a hundred spiritual arrows."

"Okay, I know all this."

Xu Yuan interrupted Hua Hong and said directly:

"Just prepare, you won't be short of money."

"Squeak——"

Hua Hong sat back on the wooden chair in front of the tea table, pressing his temples and not speaking again, but his eyes still swept to Xu Yuan and Bai Muxi from time to time.

For a moment, the huge waiting room fell into silence.

Hua Hong was considering.

Considering the credibility of Xu Yuan's words.

According to the scale of Tianan Chamber of Commerce, the weapons of the two Fengtian camps are also a large-scale business, and the categories involved almost cover all types of weapons.

Because of the war in the north, the weapons workshop accumulated by Tianan Chamber of Commerce for decades has initially released its production capacity, but even so, the weapons of the two Fengtian camps will occupy one-third of the weapons production capacity of the entire chamber of commerce for half a year.

If Xu Yuan can really pay the money on time, everything will be fine. After all, with the current military equipment production capacity of Tianan Chamber of Commerce, there is still a lot of surplus to support the war in the northern border.

The existing military equipment inventory can fill this gap and will not affect the supply of soldiers on the northern frontier.

But if Xu Yuan fails to deliver, the funding chain of many small chambers of commerce under Tianan Chamber of Commerce will be directly broken, which will lead to a series of bad things. Even if it can be controlled, his old bones can't help Xu Yuan cover up. If it causes dissatisfaction of the top management with this kid.

After thinking for a long time,

Hua Hong slowly raised his eyelids and exhaled lightly, his vicissitudes of life voice without emotion:

"I can promise you this, but there are things I need to clarify with you first."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly:

"You say."

Hua Hong knocked on the back of the chair lightly, his face more serious than ever:

"Although Tianan Chamber of Commerce belongs to the Xiangfu, many small and medium-sized chambers of commerce under Tianan Chamber of Commerce belong to local families.

"Many aspects of military equipment production cannot be separated from them. We need them to provide raw materials, their metallurgical workshops to quench gold and iron, and even their array pattern masters to engrave array patterns for military equipment.

"So over the past few decades, even though we have a subordinate relationship with them, we will ensure that they can have 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 by getting something for nothing?"

Hua Hong stared at him for a few breaths, and said in a very light voice:

"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 just started, you must not leave them any excuses. Before everything is over, we cannot carry out another large-scale purge of them.

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