Chapter 342

Li Shi took a few breaths, took a few deep breaths, looked up at Wei Renshi, and asked, "What kind of way can you win a single shot?"

Wei Renshi smiled and said, "Privately switched the market and sold weapons to the Uighurs and Tubo. This is a serious crime of losing one's head. How could those eunuchs not know? But they still have to touch the risk of losing their heads and do this. What does it mean? It explains the horror of profits in it."

Wei Renshi said: "The weapons of the Tang Dynasty have always been the best. Today, the only ones that can compete with the weapons of the Tang Dynasty are the Persia in the past and the current Dashi Dashi's Wuzi steel knives. However, it is very troublesome to make Uzi steel. It takes at least half a year to make a weapon of Uzi steel. The weapons of the Tang Dynasty only take more than a month. So the weapons of the Tang Dynasty are the most snatched."

"What does Wei Qing mean?" Li Shi sat up and asked.

Wei Renshi said again: "At present, we have a more advanced new steelmaking method. The casting weapons are good and fast. The hundred-steel-making weapons are already eliminated. In the future, as the imperial court increases more and more money, all the troops of the Tang Dynasty and the weapons in the army will gradually be replaced with new steelmaking weapons. If these retreating hundred-steel-making weapons are as calcined and melted as before, they will be used as raw materials. Seeing that these eunuchs sell weapons at the risk of being beheaded, they have a thought. The profits of selling weapons are huge and terrible. Instead of being earned by these eunuchs and other people who are greedy for profit, why not be earned by the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty?"

"Why is Wei Qing saying that the court opened the market and sold those weapons?" When Li Shi heard this, he frowned and said, "No, this matter is absolutely not feasible. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we have strictly ordered that the weapons be sold outside."

"Your Majesty, what I said are all weapons that we have eliminated." Wei Renshi said: "And what I said is only weapons, but generally refers to those that were no longer needed by the Tang Dynasty and had been eliminated, but for other countries, they are those things that are scrambling to fight for demand."

"Indeed, what I mean is that the use of technologies, products and other things that the Tang Dynasty has been eliminated are already behind the Tang Dynasty, but for others are extremely eager for, such as steelmaking weapons, wooden crossbows, cement... is converted into the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Dynasty can use those things that are already eliminated and useless to play a greater role, and obtain funds for further research and development of technology to obtain more advanced alternatives, or resources required."

"Your Majesty, the weapons made by Baijing Steel are now behind and are far less than the newly equipped weapons. We have calculated the calculations. If we collect the replaced weapons, we will rebuild them. If we re-cast them, the price will not be low. On the other side, the surrounding countries, such as the Uighurs, Tubo and other countries, urgently need weapons made by Baijing Steel. In the past, the Tang Dynasty did not sell them weapons because they wanted to maintain their advantages in weapons and accumulate superior conditions for victory in the war. But now, the weapons made by Baijing Steel are for us. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty no longer pose a threat. What if they all replaced the weapons made by Bailian Steel? The steel smelting technology of our Tang Dynasty is much higher than Bailian Steel, and our Tang Dynasty is still constantly researching and developing newer and more advanced weapons. The advantages still exist and are constantly expanding. The things that have been eliminated cannot threaten the Tang Dynasty. So why don’t we use its maximum value to exchange for the money and resources needed for the Tang Dynasty?” Wei Renshi stood at Li Shi’s lower head and said to Li Shi behind the desk.

"Although they traded with the surrounding countries before, the weapons and military supplies were not listed here. Because the barbarians of the surrounding countries did not understand kindness and disturbed China at all times. If they were given the advantage of military advancement, wouldn't it be even more?" Li Shi said: "Therefore, no one sold weapons to them in different dynasties."

"But the situation is different now, Your Majesty." Wei Renshi continued to persuade: "Now, various technologies in our Tang Dynasty emerged one after another, or improved them on the basis of the previous one, or made new things out of nothing, and used them to be even more obvious than those in the Tang Dynasty. Take the steel smelting technique improved by the Beijing military weapon supervision as an example. The same two knives, the tools equipped in the Tang army and the 100 steel slashed together, must be the 100 steel slashed, and the new tools must be the 100 steel slashed together.

Even a gap will not collapse. It is much better than Damascus steel - uh, Uz Steel. Moreover, it will take at least half a year to make a knife, but the output of our three-month overtime work on the assembly line of the Beijing Military Equipment Supervision will be almost equipped with a army of tens of thousands of people. This is too great! So Your Majesty does not need to worry that selling weapons made by Bailian Steel to other countries will pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, this move can make their weapons never compare to the Tang Dynasty."

"Oh? How can a method that can never be as good as the Tang Dynasty?" Li Shi's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty has advanced technology and is still constantly improving, and it will be more advanced in the future." Wei Renshi explained to Li Shi: "While other countries are different, for them, Uzigang is already a magic weapon, and Baijing Steel is already the best military weapon. They don't know that there are better and more advanced ones! So if they can buy weapons made by Baijing Steel very conveniently, then who would still be willing to put in their efforts and energy to study better weapons? They will stock up on a large number of Baijing Steel's weapons.

From then on, their weapons will be stagnant. As for the Tang Dynasty, they can use the money they bought from the 100-steel-making weapons to develop and improve more advanced weapons. As long as the Tang Dynasty keeps its more advanced technology strictly confidential, they will not think about upgrading their weapons for at least a long time, then the advantages of our Tang Dynasty will be further expanded. As for the Tang Dynasty, they have already used the money and resources exchanged for the 100-steel-making weapons to improve our own technology, and be advanced and then advanced!"
