When Huang Jia heard that Song An was willing to hand over such an important matter to him, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt on the ground and said with excitement on his face.
"My subordinates will definitely live up to the prince's love, but I am weak and weak, so I am afraid I will not be able to convince everyone!"
"No problem, Cheng Bao. When the time comes, you can follow Huang Jia and forge those seven hundred sets, no, forge another three hundred pieces of light armor, and collect a thousand sets. Huang Jia will be solely responsible for the sales. You can lead
There are over a hundred people responsible for his safety." Song An ordered.
"Yes!" Cheng Bao glanced at Huang Jia. As a native of Tai'an County, he also knew Huang Jia. He didn't expect that this little-known businessman could still be appreciated by the prince.
However, he had no other thoughts. Now that they were not short of armor, it would be a good choice to sell them for money.
"Huang Jia will definitely live up to the prince's instructions!" Huang Jia's face was firm. He knew that the three thousand taels of silver last time was a stepping stone to meet Song An. Now this matter is a test for him. If this matter can be handled well for Song An,
, it can be regarded as the first step on Song An's ship.
Although Song An's ship is still small and broken, as a businessman, he deeply understands what speculation is.
After Huang Jia and Cheng Bao left, Song An was not in a hurry to take the next step. What he lacked now was time. His soldiers and horses needed time to train, and the armor needed time to take action. However, his opponent would not let Song An live in peace.
On the fourth day after Song An seized the Beishan mine, Taizhou finally got the news. Mu Qingniu was furious immediately. He had been working hard for the mine for several years, but he was intercepted not long after the harvest.
Already?
Before Song An took over the mine, he did secretly transport several batches of armor weapons, but he could only assemble them for a maximum of three thousand people.
Three thousand sets may seem like a lot, but in fact it is useless. For those who want to do big things, this amount is simply not enough.
Therefore, he will never give up on concentrated iron ore...
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission - taking control of a county and being rewarded with a thousand gold random heroic soul order!" At this moment, a system reminder suddenly sounded in Song An's mind.
Song An was slightly startled. He had almost forgotten about this side mission. Why was he reminded of it now?
Shouldn't he have been reminded when he took the concentrated iron ore?
Song An suddenly remembered something and looked in the direction Huang Jia left. Could it be because of that guy?
It seems that this guy is very unusual!
Thinking about it, Song An looked at the random Thousand Gold Heroic Soul Token in the system and clicked on it without any hesitation.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the wealthy civil servant Zhao Kuo!"
"The general is condensing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of light gathered in front of Song Lian.
Zhao Kuo?
When Song Lian heard this name, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely. Zhao Kuo was talking about war on paper? Zhao Kuo who ruined Zhao's 400,000 troops and was no longer able to compete with Qin?
For the first time, Song An felt that the system was too confusing. He actually got such a thing out of his one thousand gold random hero order!
"My subordinate, Zhao Kuo, has met my lord!" When Song An was depressed, Zhao Kuo had already condensed into shape and stood respectfully in front of Song An. He looked like a man in his twenties and had a strong bookishness about him. He didn't look like he knew anything about it.
Lord of braggarts!
"System, are you sure that Zhao Kuo can only brag?" Song An lost his composure and began to ask the system if it was a mistake.
"Sure!"
Song An's mouth twitched, it seemed like this guy was just showing off and was trying to bluff people!!!
"Zhao Kuo, please get up quickly. I'm so lucky to have your help!" Song An showed a smile on his face and hurriedly helped Zhao Kuo up.
"Lord, that's a ridiculous compliment!" Zhao Kuo's face turned red, obviously a little embarrassed by Song An's praise.
While talking to Zhao Kuo, Song An opened Zhao Kuo's attribute panel.
Name: Zhao Kuo.
Intelligence value: 85.
Talent; not locked.
Looking at Zhao Kuo's attribute panel, Song An was a little stunned. The divisions between civil servants and generals seemed to be different. The force value was replaced by intelligence value. Zhao Kuo's intelligence value of 85 was not sure whether it was low or high, nor did he have a personality.
Reference!
Shaking his head, Song An decided that he would never leave important matters to Zhao Kuo in the future.
Taizhou Prefecture.
"Prefect Mu, I heard that there is something wrong at the iron ore mine?" A man covered in gray robes said coldly and wetly.
"Sir, there is indeed something going on over there. That idiot prince suddenly recovered, and then he recruited a group of soldiers from nowhere and robbed the iron ore!"
"But don't worry, sir, I will arrange for someone to go over and solve this matter, and we will definitely recapture the iron ore!"
If there were any outsiders here, their jaws would definitely drop. Mu Qingniu, the governor of Taizhou, did not even dare to sit in front of the gray-robed man, and his whole body was trembling as he spoke.
"That seventh prince? It seems that the people in the dark cave are really unreliable. Things that could have been solved by just killing him have become so complicated, and now they involve me. Don't mess with me. I'll give them all to you then.
Kill!" The man in gray robe knocked on the table, his voice cold.
"I don't care what means you use, you must get the iron ore back within half a month. If Taizhou can't get 50,000 pieces of armor by the end of the year, there's no need to keep your head!"
After that, the man in gray robe left the prefect's mansion without looking back. Mu Qingniu's face was so gloomy that it could drip with tears.
Song An, such a king of Chu, has turned into a fool and wants to come over to harm him.
"Come here, let Chen Yuanliang lead a thousand military guards to Tai'an County to arrest the King of Chu. How dare you murder the official? Even if he is the prince, he cannot be soft at all!"
"If you dare to resist, you will be punished as treason!" Mu Qingniu's face darkened, and he was willing to fight this time.
According to the laws of Daqi, even if the prince is guilty, it is not his turn as the prefect to take care of it. But if Song An is treason, the matter will be different. Not only is he not guilty, but he has merit...
Song An didn't know all this. He had just arranged for Zhao Kuo to accompany Wang Kang to help manage Tai'an County. There was news from Huang Jia that someone was willing to receive these one thousand pieces of light armor!
The other party was a family of bandits gathered in the southeast of Tai'an County, at the intersection of the two states. When they heard that there were armors for sale, they agreed immediately and were willing to buy them all for a price of one hundred taels. Huang Jia wrote back and asked Song An to decide.
In this matter, after all, the other party is not an ordinary person but a bandit!
Song An didn't hesitate at all after hearing the news, and of course he chose to sell it.
As for strengthening the bandit forces, Song An's thinking is completely out of the question, because after completing the side task of controlling a county, the system released another side task - taking control of a state!
Since we want to control a state, all bandits must be eliminated. Selling the armor to the other party now is to make the other party happy for a while and then get it back later.
A set of one hundred taels, a thousand sets is one hundred thousand taels of silver, a huge profit!
After receiving Song An's reply, Huang Jia directly began to communicate with the other party.
Just when Song An was secretly happy, the scout sent a message.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military report. Taizhou has sent a thousand troops towards us."
