"General, no! This is the mandate of heaven, and it is appropriate for the general to send this sword to the general. Zhang Zhongjian said.

"Chixiao is the sword of the royal road, the sword of the Son of Heaven." Li Keshi reminded softly beside Zou Yu.

Zou Yu was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and took the sword from Zhang Zhongjian's hand, he was also slightly excited, although he didn't believe in fate very much, but even the crossing appeared, what else could not be accepted.

"Congratulations General!" Everyone smiled and congratulated in unison.

At present, everyone knows the situation in the Central Plains, Yang Guang went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and if he wants to come back in the future, it is basically impossible, and it is impossible for the major families in the Central Plains to let go of the fat in front of them.

Zou Yu also knew that it was Li Yuan who took the country in later generations, and there must be many families who supported it, and through the explanations of Li Keshi and others over the years, he still has some understanding of the family.

This is entirely because of the nine-product Zhongzheng system, this system was originally both talent and morality, the family background only requires innocence, but with the family control of the court, the gradual formation of the scholar family, in the back completely to the family background, no matter how good the poor family is, it is only the lower grade, even if the family has no talent and no virtue, it is also the top grade, this is the so-called upper grade no cold door, lower grade no scholar family.

Through the guidance of Li Keshi and others, Zou Yu knew that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was only a part of the Jiupin Official Law, which was originally a good thing and a very complete system, but it was completely changed after implementation, and with the rise of the scholars, it became a means of controlling official positions.

Above the court, a radish and a pit, the family is not enough, of course, they have to do their best to hinder the promotion of others, plus the family controls the most important ——— knowledge, it is too difficult for the children of the poor family to learn and succeed.

"Well, your requests will be complied with, but the price of the weapon, the Zhong family master should look at the quality and make a decision." Zou Yu, who was in a good mood, hung Chixiao on his waist and said with a smile.

"Everything obeys the general." Zhong Zijin said with a faint smile.

"Huh! Give your swords to the messengers. When Zou Yu saw Zhong Zijin's appearance, he didn't care, and pointed to the guard next to him and said.

"Thank you, General!" Unexpectedly, Zou Yu generously let him try it himself, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly thanked him.

Although he knew that Zou Yu and they were well-armed, it was better to see it with his own eyes.

They called their own guards, and in the dissatisfied eyes of the guards, they took a few steel knives.

You must know that the steel knives in Liaodong are not sufficient, not everyone has them, they are usually like babies, and they all want to stay as heirlooms, of course, they are not willing to hand them over to others.

Zhong Zijin was slightly surprised by the performance of the guards, but did not speak, but just let the guards take their own weapons and slash.

"Dangdang!" With a few crisp voices, the knives of the Goguryeo guards were all broken into two sections without exception.

"This!" Zhong Zijin was taken aback, this was the first time he had seen Liaodong's weapon up close, he didn't expect it to be so sharp, and in terms of this performance, it was enough to be called a treasure knife.

"Put your armor and shields to the test." The corners of Zou Yu's mouth curled.

Zhong Zijin nodded and motioned for the guards to take off their armor and place it on the ground, while someone raised their shields.

"Bang bang bang!" Not surprisingly, the shield was broken, whether it was leather armor or iron armor, and it was easily broken.

"It's... This..."Zhong Zijin snatched a steel knife, looked at the blade without traces, and lost his temper not knowing how to describe his mood.

"What does the Zhong family master think is such a weapon worth?" Zou Yu asked with a smile.

"Whew! Worth a thousand gold. A thousand treasure knives can be invincible. Zhong Zijin exhaled a long breath and exclaimed.

"Then how much can the Zhong family master buy?" Zou Yu continued to ask.

"It's... The lower officials are bankrupt and cannot equip a thousand people. Zhong Zijin smiled bitterly.

"It's not a secret, just this treasure knife, we ourselves, are only a few thousand, but as long as you help take Jian'an and other places, a certain promise will provide you with a thousand handles for the four of you, one family, as for the price, it will be three hundred taels of silver, which can be paid with the equivalent price of grain and jewelry." Zou Yu continued.

(Before the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the exchange ratio of silver and copper coins was basically about one or two for money, and the proportion was lower in the Qing Dynasty.) ）

When Zhong Zijin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little painful, according to this price, a thousand handles is 300,000 copper coins, but you say it's worth it, in his opinion, it must be worth it, with this weapon and equipment for a thousand elites, against 10,000 ordinary soldiers, you will definitely not lose, and raising a thousand people and raising 10,000 people are two different things.

"Thank you, general, the subordinate will do his best." Zhong Zijin's face twitched, and he felt in his heart that those Kong Fang brothers in the treasury seemed to be moving away from him.

"Of course, the master of the Zhong family has worked hard, and he can't let you run in vain, when the time comes, how to distribute the four thousand steel knives, how to tell others the price, we won't ask." Zou Yu continued.

"Thank you, General, the lower official must have done a good job, it's just a deal for the Yuan family?" Zhong Zijin was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hand with a smile on his face.

"What the Yuan family needs is our clothes and refined salt, if the clothes are not good, we can only use them for ourselves, as for the refined salt, there is no problem." Zou Yu replied to him. It is not surprising that the Yuan family knows some news about themselves, after all, it has been based in Liaodong for almost four years, and an original head snake must know a lot, of course, the core things are not known.

There are not only guards in the mining area, but also so many hunting dogs, let alone people, that it is impossible for a rabbit to enter or leave without permission; As for the Buyeo City, the place where the family started, the people did not allow anyone to destroy it, even if some other tribes did not join, they only knew that their former neighbors were very rich, and they didn't know how rich they were.

"General, lower officer..."Zhong Zijin said tentatively.

"Don't worry, if you also want to trade, we can open a mutual market in the future to exchange what you have." Zou Yu knew what he wanted to say, and said directly.

"That's good, I hope the general will take care of it in the future." Zhong Zijin said happily when he saw that all the goals had been achieved.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the Central Plains is in turmoil, everyone must know, the imperial court doesn't have time to pay attention to this side, this will be sitting in Liaodong, as long as the land that originally belonged to the Central Plains is recovered, there will definitely be no more fighting, everyone will be neighbors in the future, and naturally we need to get along well." Zou Yu said with a smile.

Of course he is a lie, if he has the strength, he will definitely swallow it in one bite, which Zhong Zijin also understands, but this is the reality, before he turns his face, good words and guarantees, it is casual.
