Chapter 1291 Transaction

In the following time, Xiahou Dun, accompanied by Bai Feng, played in Hanzhong City for a few days.

During this period, Xiahou Dun also realized more clearly that the development of Hanzhong was different from that of Yizhou.

However, after saying goodbye to Bai Feng and returning to Chengdu, Yizhou, Xiahou Dun did not reform the existing development model of Yizhou.

In Xiahou Dun's opinion, the model of Hanzhong is difficult to replicate.

After Bai Feng sent Xiahou Dun away, he came to the explosives production workshop and asked Wei Boyang and others who had rested for a few days to continue working.

Then he went to see the improvement of the steam locomotive made by Geng Zhuzi and others in the R&D center.

At the same time.

After reporting the situation of Yamatai to Cao Cao, Wen Pin, the general of the Wei Navy, was also somewhat moved by the transaction proposed by Yamatai.

So under Cao Cao's instruction, Wen Pin will lead the fleet to Yamatai again and make the first ore transaction with Himiko.

Cao Cao also instructed Wen Pin to let the navy soldiers go to the towns of Yamatai for a walk while trading with Yamatai.

Since they had come to Yamatai again according to the route left by the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao certainly wanted to incorporate the land of Yamatai into the territory of Wei.

Now they started trading with Yamatai in order to get familiar with the situation of Yamatai through continuous trade.

To prepare for the final occupation of Yamatai.

After receiving Cao Cao's instructions, the navy commander Wen Pin summoned the navy soldiers and maintained the ships, preparing to go to Yamatai again.

Cao Cao expected Wen Pin to bring back the details of Yamatai to Wei as soon as possible.

At the same time, for Cao Cao, the day he set to read the edict of the prince's enthronement was getting closer and closer.

After the navy commander Wen Pin was ready, he set sail again for Yamatai.

Himiko in Yamatai was preparing craftsmen to build ships, and Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie were also maintaining the training of the Yamatai army.

Because the last time the fleet of the Great Wei arrived at Yamatai was quite sudden, Li Cunxiao built observation towers at several ports in Yamatai that were suitable for large ships to dock.

On this day, the observation tower of one of the ports discovered that the fleet led by the naval commander Wen Pin had come to the port of Yamatai again.

"Go and report to the adults, the fleet of the Great Wei is coming again!"

The soldier in charge of observation said loudly to the soldiers on duty below.

Himiko couldn't help but smile when she learned that the fleet of the Great Wei had come to Yamatai again.

It seems that there is a great chance that the task of buying ore from the Great Wei that Bai Feng entrusted to her will be completed.

Of course, the premise is that the Great Wei navy that came to Yamatai this time did not make any intention of starting a war.

Finally, Himiko personally received the naval commander Wen Pin at the port.

Wen Pin enjoyed the treatment of a great power this time and was quite happy.

And because he was responsible for finding out the news about Yamatai, and he might attack Yamatai himself in the future, Wen Pin was very humble and polite to Himiko.

"General Wen, you are so honored to come. Please come with me to the city to rest first."

"The soldiers on the ship, as long as they don't enter the city, they can also rest on this beach."

Himiko smiled at Wen Pin.

"Thank you, Queen, for your arrangement."

Then Wen Pin took only two guards and went to the palace in the city with Himiko.

After the two arrived at the palace, Himiko first asked Wen Pin:

"General Wen, I wonder what the Emperor of Wei thinks about the iron ore trade I talked about with you last time?"

"Yamatai is not short of silver, but it is very short of iron ore. Most people don't have iron pots at home."

In order to promote the iron ore trade between Yamatai and Wei, Himiko began to use the living conditions of the people of Yamatai to sell misery.

Of course, the people of Yamatai are not so poor that they don't need iron pots.

Although Yamatai is not rich in mineral resources, it is still no problem to ensure that the people living in Yamatai now have iron pots and kitchen knives to use.

It is worth mentioning that iron pots also became popular around Bai Feng.

After hearing this, Wen Pin couldn't help but say to Himiko:

"I didn't expect that Yamatai was so short of iron ore, and there were people on the island who didn't have iron pots to use?"

This was indeed a bit beyond Wen Pin's expectations.

It happened that Wen Pin also had a task arranged by Cao Cao, so he said to Himiko with great sympathy:

"Please don't worry about this matter in the future, your majesty wants to trade with Yamatai!"

"In the future, everyone in Yamatai will definitely be able to use iron pots."

Himiko said to Wen Pin in surprise:

"That's great, thank you General Wen for speaking well of Yamatai in front of your majesty!"

After that, Himiko stood up and saluted Wen Pin to express her gratitude.

"Queen, you don't have to do this, this is what I should do."

Then Wen Pin stood up and said to Himiko.

"If it weren't for the Queen who provided us soldiers with food and water after we arrived at Yamatai, we might not have been able to return to Wei smoothly after encountering a storm at sea."

"If we really want to thank someone, we should thank you for your generosity, Queen!"

Wen Pin then said to Himiko sincerely.

And Wen Pin was still thinking in his heart that if Yamatai was captured one day, he would do everything he could to save Himiko's life in front of Cao Cao.

But what Wenpin didn't know was that he was now planning to capture Yamatai.

When Himihu provided food and water to Wenpin and other Wei navy officers, it was also based on the ships in the Wei fleet.

"General Wen is too polite. In that situation, how could I have done nothing to save him?"

"Besides, Yamatai has been inextricably linked to the Central Plains in the past. My Central Plains dialect was also taught by my elders in the family."

After the two showed off their acting skills, they finally got down to business.

That's the price at which iron ore is traded.

"All the ships we have coming here this time are loaded with iron ore."

"As long as the price is right, I can sell it to you, the Queen."

In order to let Yamatai relax against the Wei fleet as soon as possible, Cao Cao actually asked Wenpin to transport a lot of iron ore to Yamatai this time.

Even if Cao Cao knew that Yamatai would use this batch of iron ore to make armor and swords, he was not particularly worried.

Wei's armor forging and sword forging techniques were enough to surpass Yamatai by a hundred streets.

Of course, what we are talking about here is the previous Yamatai. With Bai Feng as the big boss behind the scenes, Yamatai is no longer what it used to be.

"That's great! Whatever price General Wen thinks is suitable? We can negotiate!"

After hearing this, Himihu happily said to Wenpin.
