Yu Aixian made a final effort, but Hao Youcai refused. "How about this, I will go to Wu first this time, and then go to Yue next time. But meeting is fate, so please accept this small gift."
A package was sent out, but it was not a so-called "small gift", but a "promotional collection" of Anyang. In this box, there were newspapers, advertising brochures, some product samples (such as bearings, stainless steel, wires, etc.), jade slips, etc. Everything was themed "promoting Anyang and encouraging trade."
There is even a small cannon inside, which is very effective, at least for publicity - and also for leaking secrets. When Li Xian knew that he could not have the gunpowder all to himself, he began to actively spread the gunpowder and its basic usage!
The box was not small. Yu Ai opened it and was immediately overjoyed. He took the box, thanked him, and prepared to leave. With this thing, he had an explanation to the Emperor.
When Yu Aixian was happy, Hao Youcai turned to Wu Daqian and said, "General Wu, please lead the way."
Wu Daqian was delighted, "Please."
After that, Wu Daqian asked his soldiers to return and told them to continue the war on the front line and stop the Kingdom of Yue! Wu Daqian didn't want the Kingdom of Yue to get any of the goods that Anyang brought this time! In fact, Wu Daqian's eyes were already drooling at the nine steel ships.
If possible, it would be fine to buy a few large ships! And Hao Youcai's attitude just now was very clear. As long as there is money and enough gold, Anyang can sell anything.
Including the shipbuilding technology! Wu Daqian looked at the huge steel ship under his feet, and the shock in his heart could not be calmed down. The shipbuilding technology that Wu and Yue were proud of faded under this technology.
Yu Aixian saw the big ship turn around towards Wu State and sighed, "Then our Yue State is preparing to send an envoy to visit Anyang. I wonder if General Hao Youcai has anything to teach me?"
After all, this is just the first test between the two sides, and Yu Aixian is not too regretful. Instead, he puts the opportunity on a formal visit.
Hao Youcai thought for a moment, "Bring more money. But also bring more precious materials, precious medicinal materials, etc. Black iron, red copper and the like are not valuable in Anyang. Some spiritual materials such as Taibai Jingjin, Taihua Zijin, Xingchen Jin, or spiritual medicines over a hundred years old, or elixirs used above the Jindan stage, or some special medicinal materials and elixirs, etc., are the most valuable. When you get to Anyang, you can exchange these things for gold, and then you can buy a lot of things from Anyang, including this huge ship."
"Thank you. I will go back and report to His Majesty and organize the delegation." Yu Aixian did not care about the delay and hurriedly said goodbye. After returning to the camp, Yu Aixian first ordered that the war should continue and that Wu should not be left idle; then he personally went to the imperial capital to report the situation.
Here, Wu Daqian sent a few more confidants out, this time to deliver a message to the imperial capital, while he himself chatted with Hao Youcai.
Nearby, Wan Jingde and the other two were naturally not idle either. They were also asking about the affairs of the Wu and Yue States. Although they seemed to be chatting casually, they all got the information they wanted.
Under the leadership of Wu Daqian, the fleet began to sail northwest, preparing to go to the island given by Wu Daqian. According to Wu Daqian, that place did not have a specific name because it was not a densely populated area, but in the folk, the island was called "Daqingshi".
