Daqin: I can become stronger by killing the enemy

Wu Luo has been tinkering with glass for some time, and the craftsmen around him are becoming more and more familiar with the entire process.

Yesterday, they received Bai Zhong's suggestion and switched to using coal to heat and melt the sand. They also made some technical adjustments and started working on it overnight. Finally, they made the first complete piece of colored glaze just now.

Wuluo was overjoyed. His hard work and dedication were not in vain, he could really succeed.

With these colored glazes, let alone giving Bai Zhong free meat and grain for two years, he thinks he will still make money after two more years.

Bai Zhong took the glass and looked at it for a while. It was not very good. There were some impurities inside and it looked slightly yellow on the surface. But according to their technology, it was already a big breakthrough.

"good!"

"Master Wu Zhuang finally got his wish. Doesn't it prove that I didn't lie to you?"

Bai Zhong smiled and returned the glass.

Wu Luo took it back carefully, for fear of accidentally breaking it, and said with a smile: "I have never doubted General Bai. Now that Liuli has been successfully created, I have a suggestion that I would like to discuss with General Bai."

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Master Wu Zhuang, please tell me."

"General Bai, please go into the palace and tell the king. I won't charge you any money for the coal, iron ore, and the craftsmen who made the swords."

"The price of war horses will be reduced by another five hundred yuan, and from now on they will be five thousand yuan each."

"Just think of it as my gratitude to General Bai once again, and my gratitude to the King for supporting me."

Wu Ruo felt that he would not lose money, and began to think about how to maximize his profits.

The greatest benefit, of course, is to get Ying Zheng's approval.

In the future, if he wants to sell colored glaze, he will inevitably have to deal with various officials. If his reputation can be raised again and he can be recognized by Ying Zheng, it will be much easier to do other things, and there will be less obstacles to doing business.

If you pay a little benefit now, you can reap greater benefits later.

Small wealth cannot come out, and big wealth cannot come in.

For example, the widow Qing later gave Ying Zheng a lot of cinnabar and mercury, and even provided money to help Ying Zheng build the Great Wall, etc.

These are the considerations of their businessmen.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Luo changed his mind and said: "No, the war horses are still too expensive. I will lower the price to 2,000 yuan a piece. If the king needs war horses in the future, I will pay this price. Please go back and help me, General Bai."

.”

From the initial price of 6,000 yuan, he took the initiative to lower the price to 2,000 yuan, making Bai Zhong wonder if he had heard wrongly.

This is considered a broken bone.

But when his eyes fell on the glass in Wu Luo's hand, Bai Zhong suddenly realized that he probably understood Wu Luo's little thoughts and asked: "Is Wu Zhuang serious about doing this?"

Wu Luo affirmed: "Of course it is true, I am sincerely doing it for Da Qin."

Whether he was really for Da Qin, Bai Zhong was dubious, but he did not reveal his thoughts, and said: "Then I would like to thank Wu Zhuangshi for his generosity. I plan to go to the palace to see the king tomorrow, and then I will help Wu Zhuangshi with it."

"It's me who thanks General Bai!"

Wuluo laughed.

The two returned to the ranch.

Wu Luo wanted to host another banquet and send some jewelry and property.

At the same time, he was thinking that thanks to Zhao Gao's recommendation at that time, General Bai was more reliable than anyone else. He would have to find time to go to Xianyang and thank Zhao Gao properly.

"I still have to train my troops when I go back, so I won't have to drink at the banquet."

"If Mr. Wu Zhuang wants to cooperate with me in the future, it's best not to harm me by sending money."

"Goodbye now!"

Bai Zhong rejected all his solicitude.

If it is related to military interests, such as iron ore without charging money, Bai Zhong can accept it, but property sent in private must be rejected. It is already the limit for Lan'er to accept those jewelry.

Of course he also wants to be rich, and no one would despise money.

But Bai Zhong has considered that the way he can get money can only be related to Ying Zheng, and the source is fair and square, such as rewards for military merit, etc. He cannot ask for anything else to avoid any problems in the future.

After leaving the Zangjun Valley Ranch, Bai Zhong rode his horse back to Lantian Camp.

But halfway through, he took out a saddle and stirrups, fixed them on the horse's back, and then took out the crossbow provided by the system and hung it next to the saddle.

Back at Lantian Camp, Bai Zhong went directly to see Wang Jian.

"General Bai, let me give you a suggestion. You should have less contact with Wuluo in the future."

When Wang Jian saw him coming, he said seriously: "First of all, the status of a businessman is not high, and it will have an impact on you in the future. Secondly, you have interacted with businessmen a lot and you are still young. I am worried that you will not be able to withstand the temptation and get something from Wuluo."

We should not ask for things, but our Qin law still imposes very severe sentences on the crime of accepting bribes."

The more frequent interactions with Wu Luo, the more attention it will draw to others.

Bai Zhong thought of what Zhao Gao had said that if he wanted to open up his own connections in Luoyang, he could start with businessmen, but Wang Jian reminded him not to interact with businessmen.

He thought for a while and thought that what they said made sense.

Zhao Gao started from the perspective of financial interests, etc. He wanted to have dealings with Wu Luo without leaving any clues, and he wanted to get as much benefit from Wu Luo as possible without involving political affairs.

Wang Jian's reminder was out of concern for Bai Zhong's reputation being damaged and for long-term development considerations.

Bai Zhong said: "Thank you, General, for the reminder. However, the reason why I went to see Wuluo was not a personal matter, but for the sake of the Iron Eagle Warriors, and also for the army of Great Qin. Does the General still remember that I wanted to make a sword?"

Wang Jian understood that he also had his own considerations, so he put aside his worries for the time being and said, "Of course I remember."

The knife was sharp and hard, and Wang Jian was deeply impressed.

"Wuluo said that he would give us the iron ore for making weapons without taking any money."

"Another thing is that the iron eagle warriors of those days could fight against the Zhao cavalry when mounted, and the Hun cavalry when dismounted could fight against the Wei soldiers."

"I want a group of war horses to train the Iron Eagle warriors in their riding skills. When we destroy Zhao in the future, we will inevitably have to fight against the Zhao cavalry. I plan to use the Iron Eagle warriors to fight against Li Mu's cavalry."

"So I went to Wuluo to buy a horse. He just told me that he would sell us a war horse for two thousand yuan, and it will be the same price from now on."

Bai Zhong briefly explained what happened just now.

I heard that a horse is as cheap as two thousand dollars.

Wang Jian asked excitedly: "General Bai, are you serious?"

A war horse costs two thousand yuan, which is two-thirds cheaper than before.

For the price of one war horse before, you can now buy three, which greatly saves the cost of cavalry.

Bai Zhong said: "It's true."

He then briefly explained the reason behind the glass.

Wang Jian said: "I thought Wu Luo was really doing it for Da Qin, but it turned out he just wanted to get more benefits."

"Most businessmen are like this. When they see benefits, they will flock to them."

Baizhong said lightly: "There are not many businessmen who are really for Da Qin. We can use Wuluo now to give him some benefits. We must control this person in time in the future, otherwise I am worried that he will betray our Da Qin for other interests."

Wang Jian clapped his hands and said, "General Bai's words make sense. It seems that my reminder just now is unnecessary."

He didn't expect that Bai Zhong, at such a young age, could see so clearly into these things.

"General Bai, what is that thing on this horse?"

At this time, Wang Ben came from the school grounds and happened to spot Baizhong's saddle.

Hearing this, Wang Jian also looked at the horse's back and said in surprise: "General Bai, your saddle pad is very special. It's bigger than ours."
