Chapter 17 Gao Li, who was unwilling to be an OEM foundry, decided to fight with the princess
Chu Miaoyin went to the shelf, uncovered the oilcloth, picked up a sword, and flicked it with his true qi, only to hear a clanging sound, and the sword body broke in response. The princess said coldly: "As before, there is no progress. With such a white-mouthed iron sword, how can a soldier go into battle to kill the enemy?"
Gao Li didn't speak yet, but Gao Zong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, those iron-smelting masters control the secret recipe and don't teach it to the outside world, and we are helpless to wait for small families." ”
Gao Li was very surprised that Gao Zong did not fall into the well, but think about it, safeguarding the interests of the family is naturally the first place, he is just bad, not stupid. Gao Li nominally broke away from the Gao family, but as long as he was still surnamed Gao, if something happened to him, the Gao family would naturally be implicated.
The third princess frowned slightly, and her voice became colder: "The iron smelting master didn't get the secret recipe out of thin air, if you don't try your best to study it, do you think that you have won the royal business, you think you can sit back and relax, or do you think that the treasury of my martial country is inexhaustible?"
Gao Zong just wanted to defend himself, but he didn't expect to be scolded back by the three princesses, his face was red and white, and he was nervous, and he didn't know how to answer.
Gao Li said on the side: "The princess's words are wrong, the soldiers in the large battalion army are trained hard, and the weapons are seriously damaged. Although fragile, this white-mouthed iron sword is extremely easy to forge. It couldn't be more convenient as a training weapon. If you upgrade your skills, it will take time, and you will not be able to keep up with the training progress. And ......"
"And what?" said the third princess with a frown.
"Moreover, a good sword naturally has a good price, with more than 100,000 resident soldiers in the Pingyang battalion and more than 200,000 peasant reserves. If all the steel swords are replaced, it will be difficult for the soldiers and iron divisions to get silver from the household. "Gao Li Dao.
The third princess looked at the person in front of her who dared to talk back, walked in step by step, and said, "You raise your head." ”
Gao Li looked up.
"You mean to say that you have a good sword?" said the third princess.
Huh, the girl's ability to catch the wind and shadows is okay. I've been talking a lot here, and you've heard that?
"Although there are not many, a while ago, I tried to make a few. Gao Li Dao has the bottom in his heart, and his mouth is not false.
"Take me to see it!" said the third princess.
"This way, please. ”
There was a row of iron swords in a separate corner of the warehouse, Gao Li had been prepared for this, he didn't plan to run such an OEM foundry, he had to have some private brands.
For the gameplay of metal, Gao Li did not hide his secrets, he explained some of the principles to the bull demons clearly, and the rest was actually an endless experimental process. During this period, the bull demons tried to produce a batch of iron swords, in fact, it was not difficult, just through the steel frying method to decarburize the white iron, and then make it into a steel sword, and then quench. That's all, there is nothing more complicated to deal with, and Gao Li is not interested in climbing to the sky in one step. The so-called business, we must decisively learn from Intel, Nvidia, Canon and other predecessors - just squeeze toothpaste.
The third princess, known as the unequaled sword queen, picked up an iron sword. With a flick, the blade of the sword bent, but it immediately returned to its original state. Although the overall heat-treated sword body is far less tough than a steel sword, it is not as fragile as a white iron.
The third princess drew her thin sword and slashed it with her backhand, and the iron sword was cut off in response. Then she took a closer look at the broken mouth and said, "Although there is a gap between this sword and the steel sword provided to the forbidden army by Sword Casting Villa, it is not big, so you will supply this kind of sword in the future." ”
Gao Li said: "Then I will thank Her Royal Highness the princess for the craftsmen in the village, and ask the soldiers and iron division to go back and re-sign the contract documents and make up the deposit." ”
The soldier and iron officer frowned and asked, "How much does this sword cost?"
The white iron swords produced by this Zhuangzi are all officially priced, sixty wen each, as a casting sword, the quality is not high, and it is only a little more expensive than a kitchen knife.
But the steel sword can't be counted like that.
"This sword, a tael of silver. "Gao Li Dao.
1,000 wen is exchanged for one tael of silver, compared to the previous price of 60 wen, the price of one tael of silver is too expensive for weapons purchased by the military.
The third princess threw the sword back on the shelf, stared at Gao Li and asked, "Senior executive, are you sitting on the ground and raising the price? Do you really think that your sword is invincible in the world? Do you know that providing good weapons for soldiers is actually protecting yourself?"
The coldness in his tone had reached the extreme, and even the air was filled with a faint murderous aura. Fortunately, this is not the Qing Dynasty, and I heard that the emperor is often slapped on the table by the trolls of the Imperial Historical Observatory in the court, and no one loses his head because he sprayed the emperor. Therefore, even if you are a princess, you can't kill people casually.
Gao Li said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, do you know how much an ordinary white iron sword costs?"
The third princess raised her eyebrows and said, "Sixty Wen." ”
Gao Li asked again: "Does Her Royal Highness the princess know how much a kitchen knife costs in the market?"
The third princess was stunned, as an inspector of the imperial history, of course she knew, but the price was ......
Gao Li said directly: "A kitchen knife, fifty wen." ”
The third princess did not speak.
"A kitchen knife must not use as much iron as a sword, because it is a weapon in the army, so naturally it does not dare to be made at will like the market. Size, thickness, and weight are all fixed. The blacksmith sells a kitchen knife, not counting labor, and may earn thirty wen. We can only earn twenty wen for making a sword. ”
Gao Li paused, then continued: "Then, let's talk about the invincible sword in this world. I don't know how much is the saber of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
The third princess didn't speak.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess's sword should be a tribute from the Sword Forge Villa, and there is no price. If it is compared with the same level, a sword of the 'cutting iron' level in the Sword Casting Villa will cost at least 100 taels of silver. And the 'silver hook' that was cut off last night is worth 10,000 taels. I wonder how Her Royal Highness the Princess's sword compares to the 'Silver Hook'?"
The third princess still didn't speak.
Gao Li arched his hand and saluted: "The grass people don't have such a big mind and big vision as a princess, but they also know that the better the weapon, the better." To protect the country and eliminate evil, we naturally need sharp weapons. But the grass people also have to eat, and they have to feed their families, and the people under the grass people also have to eat. I know that the steel sword of the forbidden army is supplied by the Sword Casting Villa, three taels of silver, and 50,000 forbidden troops under His Majesty's command, one for training, one for spare, not to mention 300,000 taels of silver. Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't feel distressed, and a steel sword that is almost the same as a steel sword, if we sell a piece of silver, does Her Royal Highness think it's a starting price for sitting on the ground?"
The third princess was speechless by Gao Li's set, she stared at Gao Li with a cold gaze.
This is the difference between prepared and unprepared, Gao Li has been here for more than a month, but he is not drooling with stockings every day, he really has a careful understanding of all the industries in this world that are related to making money.
Behind him, Gu Wuwu walked up with a smile, relieved his embarrassment, and asked Gao Li, "This steel sword, how is the output?"
Gao Li said: "Twenty white iron swords, one can be produced." ”
Gu Wuwu said with a smile: "Twenty out of one, so that's the case, no wonder the price is expensive." But it seems that the Sword Forge Villa has also made a lot of money. ”
The third princess said coldly: "When I go back, I will tell my father and the emperor to strictly inspect the Sword Casting Villa! Let them spit out all the silver they have swallowed!"
Gu Wuwu said with a smile: "As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind." Merchants are very profitable, and only when they have money can they do a good job, but if they are not profitable, who can still play a good sword?"
Speaking of this, Gu Wuwu said: "Today, I just came to inspect the warehouse, and the procurement of weapons still needs to be carried out by the Soldier Iron Division to tell the household department, let's go here today, how about it?"
The third princess was obviously holding back the fire in her belly, and the bigger the anger, the colder her expression became. She stared at Gao Li, almost word by word burst out from between her teeth, and said, "Let's go!"
