Chapter 129 Self-Reliance
Jing Han felt that there was no need to hide such things.
He nodded: "Yes! Now the conflicts between the Yin Kingdom, the Zi Kingdom, and the Chou Kingdom are getting more and more intense. If our war beast masters can be replaced with this kind of spiritual power source that enhances energy and lasts longer, then in battle It might be possible to turn the tide of the war around."
With the same source of spiritual power, their time durability is longer, so they will naturally have more advantages in fighting.
Since the death of Prince Ning and his two legitimate sons in battle, the Ning family army has also begun to decline. Now it only guards a city on the border with occasional reinforcements.
At present, the main combat force against the two neighboring countries is the Royal Forest Army, led by Prince Jin's Mansion, which is under the direct control of the emperor.
The Li Family Army of Prince Li's Mansion also rose rapidly after the decline of the Ning Family Army. It is now the second largest force in the Yin Kingdom. This is why the eldest prince and Concubine Li act so arrogantly.
"Where did the previous war beasts and spiritual power sources in your army come from? Did they all come to Fan Shangshu and others for approval?" Ning Xi asked with a second thought.
Jing Han replied: "That's not entirely true. Only half of the war beasts in our army come from the Ministry of Industry."
"The Ministry of Industry has a limited number of war beasts. Every time you ask for them, you need to negotiate for a period of time. Therefore, half of them are purchased by King Jin's Mansion or refined by our own war beast masters."
Ning Xi smiled and continued to ask: "If I want a war beast from Fan Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, do I need to offer anything in exchange?"
"It's natural. The reason why the conflict between the three countries is so big is mainly because they want to rob nearby resources. We will provide a large amount of resources to the Ministry of Industry every year, otherwise the war beasts will never even think about it." Jing Han mentioned this. The look in his eyes turned cold when things happened.
Most of the war beasts from the Ministry of Industry had gone into the pockets of the Li family. Although this was a secret, they still knew about it.
Therefore, Ning Xi beat up Fan Shangshu and asked the old prince to separate another work department alone to draw a clear line. The generals in the army felt very happy.
"Did you buy some of the war beasts from the Great Chamber of Commerce?" Ning Xi didn't know much about this.
I just heard from Ning Qi's Eighteen Guards that the current equipment of the Ning Family Army was definitely the worst among the major legions, and the war beasts were even lower level, which made Ning Xi very unhappy.
Jing Han's eyes fell vaguely on Yue Zheng, and he nodded slightly before saying: "We rarely buy from the Great Chamber of Commerce. The army cannot afford the price. The other half of our war beasts are almost purchased from the Yue family."
Ning Xi's mental strength was very strong, so she naturally noticed the eye contact between Jing Han and Yue Zheng, but she was not angry. Instead, she wanted to make friends with Jing Han.
This kind of behavior of asking the seller is normal. If Jinghan didn't ask and just said everything, it would mean that this person is unreliable.
Ning Xi nodded and smiled: "That's it!"
"Since you want to make a deal with me, how about we add something else?" Ning Xi looked at Jing Han and said calmly.
Jing Han is a smart man, "Young prince also wants to do war beast business with me?"
"No wonder people say that Jing Shizi is the first among the five most outstanding figures in the imperial capital. He is extremely intelligent and intelligent. It turns out to be true when we see him today!" Ning Xi said with admiration.
Jing Han laughed: "Those are all rumors, they can't be taken seriously!"
"But I am very interested in the war beast business. I wonder if the young prince is doing it in the name of the Ministry of Industry or as an individual?" This point is very important.
Ning Xi didn't beat around the bush, "Of course it's in the name of the Ministry of Industry. After the old prince and Shangshu Fan have made a clear distinction, we will naturally have to find a good buyer for the war beasts refined by the Ministry of Industry."
It is impossible to get funding and materials from the Ministry of Industry, so they have to rely on themselves.
