Chapter 346 Convince the Three Provinces

Wei Renshi and Li Chun stayed alone in the military tent in the Right Jinwu Guard.

"Brother Renshi, what's wrong with calling me here so mysteriously?" Li Chun had just finished training and was sweating all over. At this moment, he was wiping his sweat.

Wei Renshi said: "Something happened during this period. How about the details? Your Majesty strictly keeps it confidential. I cannot say more details than you said. But I have to remind you that Your Majesty is going to start a major purge of the Shence Army. After this purge, the original eunuchs and guard lieutenants in the Shence Army will be almost 80% cleared out. This is an opportunity. If you can take this opportunity to occupy more of these positions and insert more of your own hands to control the Shence Army in the future."

Li Chun was stunned and said, "Purify the Shen Ce Army? What's going on?"

"Some time ago, the Zuo Jinwu Guard distributed new weapons. Someone from the Shence Army went to steal them. After arresting them, Your Majesty asked to investigate thoroughly. During the clinker thorough investigation, many crimes of the Shence Army were involved, which were very serious, and even an affair with other countries for private sale of weapons. Your Majesty was extremely furious and issued an order to completely complete the crimes of the Shence Army. All the people were dealt with according to the law." Wei Renshi said to Li Chun: "This matter involves nearly 90% of the supervisors in the Shence Army, and there are no one who has missed the guards. After this investigation, many positions will be vacant in the Shence Army. No one knows this news yet, but I think it will not be kept secret for too long. Prince Chun should make plans early and insert as many people as possible into it."

Li Chun immediately said solemnly: "I understand! But since Your Majesty keeps it secret, if I do something, will it arouse Your Majesty's suspicion?"

"You must be able to occupy 40% of the empty positions." Wei Renshi thought for a while and said, "It is not realistic to have too many. After all, there are many people staring at the Shence Army. Once the Prince of Prince knows, he will definitely put people in the Shence Army. Prince Chun will definitely not be able to steal the Prince of Prince, so it is enough to occupy 30% or 40% of it. It will definitely be of great use in the future."

Li Chun nodded and said, "Okay! I understand! Thank you, Brother Renshi, for reminding me that I will arrange this matter as soon as possible!"

Wei Renshi nodded and said no more.

Li Chun was about to ask something, but suddenly a voice came from outside, saying, "Report to General, there are palace guards outside to summon him, and your Majesty ordered the general to enter the palace to meet immediately."

Wei Ren said sincerely that it seemed that he wanted to convince the big men of the three provinces to accept the opening of the market and selling weapons.

So he said to Li Chun, then he left the military camp and followed the palace guards to the palace.

Li Shi indeed summoned the officials from the three provinces. Seeing that Wei Renshi came, he said to everyone: "Wei Qing is here. You have any questions about this matter. You can ask Wei Qing."

"The old minister has just heard what Your Majesty said. If this method is carefully controlled, it can indeed be counted in one fell swoop." Du Youxian said, "But I only have one question. If the Tang Dynasty sells these weapons, what if these people use these Tang Dynasty weapons to deal with the Tang Dynasty?"

The other people also said, "Yes, I am the only one who asks me now."

Wei Renshi nodded and said, "I understand. Your Majesty, Wei's entourage is waiting for Wei's entourage outside the palace. He has a short sword on his body. Please allow the guards in the palace to bring the short sword."

Li Shi nodded, shouted, and a guard came in. Li Shi told him to go out and find Gou Er, and brought Gou Er's short knife into the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, Wei Renshi said to everyone: "Please look, this short knife is an ordinary weapon made of steel made from steel made from the new method of steelmaking today."

After saying that, he said to the guard again: "This guard, the weapons in your hand should be the best hundred-sharing steel."

The guard nodded.

Wei Renshi handed him the short knife and said, "Please work hard to fight these two weapons."

The guard looked at Li Shi, and Li Shi nodded. The guard then retreated, holding a knife in each hand, and collided with force.

Only a "clang" sound was heard, and the knife in the guard's hand broke.

Everyone was surprised and turned to look at Wei Renshi.

Wei Renshi said again, "You all saw this new weapon. This new type of weapon will gradually be popularized in all the army of the Tang Dynasty in the future. At that time, the replaced steel-making weapons will be sold together after the renewal of the 100 steel-making weapons. The weapons sold to the surrounding countries are also this kind of steel-making weapons. The weapons used by the Tang army are this new type of weapon. Therefore, you don't have to worry about the Tang army losing the advantage of weapons."

"And with the money brought by selling the 100-steel-making weapons, the Tang Dynasty can further improve and develop better weapons. Therefore, selling the 100-steel-making weapons will not only not cause the Tang Dynasty to lose its original advantage, but will also further expand this advantage."

"In the future, the Tang Dynasty's technology will improve, and more advanced weapons will be made. In this way, the weapons now become backward weapons and can be sold again, allowing the surrounding countries to upgrade their own weapons. This is another round of arms race. In this way, the wealth of the surrounding countries will continue to pour into the Tang Dynasty."

After hearing this, Du You stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "Since that's the case, I have no objection."

Gao Ying asked again: "I look at the regulations made by Wei County. When selling weapons, they are not sold publicly, but secretly, but why?"

"If the Tang Dynasty publicly stated that anyone could buy it, then there would certainly be many people who would buy it, but if it was bought too much, it would not be easy for our Tang Dynasty to raise the price. Such a secret sale and secretly leaked the news, it would make the countries you bought secretly happy, and the countries you can't buy panic. In addition, they would be willing to pay more to buy weapons from the Tang Dynasty, so that our Tang Dynasty would raise the price, and also allow those countries that could buy weapons from the Tang Dynasty to feel the Tang Dynasty's sense of the Tang Dynasty to buy weapons.

For example, if countries A and B learn that the Tang Dynasty sold weapons publicly, anyone could buy them. Then don’t panic, just buy them. Those countries are not worried about this. What they are worried about is that if you can buy them, I can’t buy them! That’s not possible. So in order for you to buy them, I will secretly negotiate, negotiate, and promise to gain the power to buy weapons from the Tang Dynasty at a higher price. In this way, the competition will be more intense, making it easier for the Tang Dynasty to raise the price. When these countries start buying in the future, the Tang Dynasty will announce it publicly."
