Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 74

Qin Yu had just returned to the Prince's Eastern Palace and was about to have lunch, but Zhao Feikun arrived before he had finished his meal.

"I am Zhao Feikun, the humble one, and I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When Zhao Feikun saw Qin Yu, he bowed respectfully.

While gnawing on a chicken leg, Qin Yu looked at Zhao Feikun and said, "Are you the head of the Zhao family? I was planning to look for you tomorrow. The weapons and equipment of the Red Flame Iron Cavalry need to be completely replaced. Moreover, the weapons need to be made of ice iron. Can you calculate how much silver it will cost?"

"Your Highness, I recently had the weapons and equipment for the Scarlet Flame Cavalry crafted. The original cost was two hundred thousand taels of silver, but ice iron is extremely rare and difficult to forge. The weapons alone will cost three million taels of silver!"

"Therefore, Your Highness the Crown Prince needs to pay me 3.2 million taels of silver!"

Zhao Feikun said in a deep voice.

"Three million and two hundred thousand taels of silver!"

Qin Yu looked at Zhao Feikun in shock.

"Your Highness, do you think three million and two hundred thousand taels of silver is too expensive? This is already the preferential price I offer you. You don't know how rare ice iron is! If my Zhao family hadn't always been doing business with the Ministry of War, it would be difficult to get so much ice iron from the Ministry of War!"

Zhao Feikun said in a deep voice, pretending to be very embarrassed.

"That's not right! The weapons of the Scarlet Flame Iron Cavalry are made of ice iron. Then why did you calculate the silver for the complete weapons and equipment?"

Qin Yu asked rhetorically.

Hearing Qin Yu's doubts, Zhao Feikun smiled lightly and looked at Qin Yu with disdain, saying, "Your Highness! You should have told me in advance that His Majesty wanted weapons made of ice iron, but you didn't tell me, and I have already made weapons and equipment according to the previous specifications. So, you will naturally have to pay for the previous weapons too!"

Ok?

Qin Yu frowned slightly. He hadn't thought much about it just now, but now even if he was a fool, he could see that Zhao Feikun was obviously trying to trick him.

"Did the Red Flame Iron Cavalry's previous replacement of their weapons and equipment really cost two hundred thousand taels of silver? And were the weapons forged from Frost Iron really worth three million taels of silver?"

"Tomorrow I will go to the Red Flame Cavalry and the Ministry of War to ask about this. If you dare to deceive me, I will not let you off lightly!"

Qin Yu asked coldly.

When Zhao Feikun heard Qin Yu's threat, there was no fear on his face. Instead, he sneered and said, "Your Highness, please don't threaten me. I have my own difficulties!"

"Previously, the weapons and equipment for the Red Flame Iron Cavalry were priced at 100,000 taels of silver, but that was a deal with the Ministry of War. To repay my country, I will provide weapons and equipment to the Red Flame Iron Cavalry even if it means losing money!"

"And now the Scarlet Flame Iron Cavalry is under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has also made a fortune. He can't possibly let me lose money just to gain publicity!"

"So, I'll sell it to you at the normal price. The price of ice iron is indeed not expensive, but the cost of forging it is high. So, three million taels of silver, not a tael less!"

"Of course, if His Royal Highness has already spent all the money, that's fine. You can temporarily owe me the money. However, His Royal Highness will need to sign an IOU!"

After Zhao Feikun finished speaking, he took out a promissory note from his arms. Qin Yu frowned slightly, took the note from Zhao Feikun's hand, and after reading the contents clearly, a sneer flashed across his face!

If I sign my name, not only will I owe Zhao Feikun money, but I will also have to pay 10% interest every day. Moreover, the interest will be compounded every day. After a month, the money will increase by at least ten times!

"Your Highness, this is just an IOU. Do you need to take so long to read it?"

Zhao Feikun looked at Qin Yu with disdain and asked.

"Go back! This prince doesn't want any of your Zhao family's weapons and equipment!"

Qin Yu left the receipt and said coldly.

"Haha! It's just as His Royal Highness Qin Mang said. His Royal Highness is not only useless, but also has a bad temper. If you don't cooperate with my Zhao family on these weapons and equipment, no one in the entire Kyoto will be able to do business with His Royal Highness!"

"Besides, only my Zhao family can obtain Hanbing Iron. Don't think that the Ministry of War will give you face just because you are the Crown Prince. You can't even think of getting a piece!"

"I advise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sign the agreement immediately. I owe my family 3.2 million taels of silver. I will immediately forge weapons for His Royal Highness. Otherwise, if the Scarlet Flame Cavalry's replacement of their armaments is delayed, His Royal Highness will be in great danger!"

Zhao Feikun said with a sneer, looking at Qin Yu arrogantly, not taking Qin Yu seriously at all.
