Volume 1 Across the rivers and lakes, involving temples Chapter 57 Chain mail
Faced with Ye Chen's question, Wei was a little surprised. He couldn't figure out Ye Chen's intentions, and he didn't know why Ye Chen suddenly remembered to build armor for everyone.
Xiao looked at Ye Chen and smiled: "Boss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ye Chen still had that question: "I think it's feasible to build chain mail?" ”
Lu Zhengse said: "Not to mention the high cost, it is difficult to enter the place where the chain mail is made." ”
Ye Chen asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Lu asked Ye Chen rhetorically: "Do you know the Alchemy Division?" ”
Ye Chen nodded and didn't speak, and motioned for Wei to continue.
"The Refining Department is a department directly under the Ministry of War, and is under the direct jurisdiction of Wang Yongwen, the director of the Ministry of War. Generally, without the instruction of the Ministry of War, they do not dare to take on private work from the outside alone. He said.
Ye Chen understood that this was not just about money. He immediately thought of Qin Xiaoqin, if he wanted to create this chain mail, he would probably have to find Qin Xiaoqin to continue drinking.
Seeing that he didn't speak, he spoke again: "Boss, in fact, in my opinion, this chain mail is very useful on the battlefield, and our brothers basically don't use it, even if they use it very few times. ”
Ye Chen looked at Wei and said solemnly: "Even if it is used once in ten years, it is very likely that this chain mail saved our lives this time, it is worth it!" I don't want it to happen again. ”
Wei was silent, he didn't know how to answer Ye Chen's words. A few months ago, there were talking and laughing, but now that the world is separated, the ghost unconsciously looks in the direction of the hill, which is the place to be treated.
Since Wang Si came into contact with the poor scholar who only ordered one dish and one wine every day, the scholar has never come to Fenghualou again. Wang Si was vigilant as a spy, and he had asked people to follow the poor scholar, but he lost him. Wang Si knew what kind of strength his subordinates were, when Qin Xiaoqin let him enter Fenghua Building, he chose this stalker for him alone, but who knew that he was still dumped by the inconspicuous-looking poor scholar.
The more this is the case, the more Wang Si feels that there is something wrong with this poor scholar, but he doesn't know where the problem is for a while.
At the same time, on the second floor of the teahouse diagonally opposite Fenghua Building, also at the window facing the street, sat a diner who only ordered a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, and this diner was the poor scholar Wang Si was interested in. He looked at the Fenghua Building opposite, people coming in and out, and it was very lively.
Once upon a time, the place where he lived was a hundred, a thousand times more lively than this, but now it no longer exists. Every time he thought of this, his eyes were full of tears of hatred.
On that day, the brothers who used to live together lost their lives in front of their own eyes, and he couldn't even leave them with a whole corpse.
He hated those who turned his lives upside down, and even more hated that he didn't have enough power to save those he cared about.
Five days later, the poor scholar never appeared in the teahouse again, because he knew what he wanted to know, and he was sure of what he had been suspicious of. He needed to make himself stronger and more powerful, so he left so that one day he could come back and do what he wanted to do!
In the box of Fenghualou, Qin Xiaoqin looked at Ye Chen, who was facing Ye Chen with a flattering smile on his face, and said vigilantly: "What are you calling me here for so urgently, a stick of incense, you just smirk and don't say anything, I don't have the bottom!" ”
Ye Chen glanced at Qin Xiaoqin, sat up straight and said, "It's not a big deal, the main thing is to ask you to drink and chat." ”
Qin Xiaoqin looked at Ye Chen with disdain, he knew that this kid would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he would never take the initiative to come to him if there was nothing important. What's more, he had been smiling flatteringly for a long time, so Qin Xiaoqin felt as if he had fallen into some pit. But this kid didn't say anything, just drank and had silly fun, which made Lord Qin, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, very panicked.
Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask again: "What the hell is going on?" If you kid has a fart, let it go, just say it, don't do this, or I'll leave. ”
Looking at Qin Xiaoqin's anxious appearance, Ye Chen felt more and more funny, in fact, he also came to Qin Xiaoqin with the attitude of trying it out, of course it was good if it could be done, and there was nothing there could be done if it couldn't be done, after all, it involved Dahua Law.
Ye Chen didn't tease Qin Xiaoqin anymore, and said directly: "I want to make armor and give each of the brothers in the Anjiang Association a set." ”
Qin Xiaoqin frowned and said, "That's it?" ”
Ye Chen looked serious and said, "That's it." ”
Qin Xiaoqin suddenly laughed, and his hanging heart finally let go, he thought it was a big deal. Then he said to Ye Chen: "Isn't it armor, I have it in the Inspectorate, and I will have someone give it to you secretly when I go back." After saying that, getting up is like leaving, he is a priority, very busy!
Who knew that Ye Chen said the word again: "Chain mail." ”
Qin Xiaoqin sat down again, and said with a bitter face: "Big brother, let's make everything clear at once next time!" The difference between what you say is too great! If nothing else, the process of this chain mail alone is extremely complicated, and it takes a lot of time for a meticulous person to lock the iron buckles together, and the cost is extremely expensive, if I remember correctly, a chain mail of ordinary material will cost at least this amount. Saying that, Qin Xiaoqin raised a hand.
Ye Chen tried to say, "Fifty taels of silver? ”
Qin Xiaoqin's eyes widened and said, "Five hundred taels!" ”
Ye Chen knew that this chain mail was very expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. If the brothers of the Anjiang Association had one each, it would cost at least more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Qin Xiaoqin said seriously: "What do you kid want, what do you want this chain mail to do?" ”
Ye Chen said: "It's nothing, I just heard that this chain mail is invulnerable, so I want to give each of the brothers in the Anjiang Association a whole piece." ”
Qin Xiaoqin said enviously: "It's really happy to be your subordinate, I am willing to spend all this money." But then again, even if you had the money to make chain mail, it would take a lot of time to complete about two dozen pieces. I once heard a master in the Alchemy Division mention this armor, and if a skilled craftsman made this chain mail, it would take at least four or five months, which is still relatively smooth. ”
Ye Chen thought that it would take a long time, after all, it is more difficult to forge chain mail accessories with the current process, which is why the generals cannot be fully deployed, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly.
Ye Chen asked: "I heard that only the refining department directly under the Ministry of War can build chain mail, and other institutions have no right and no strength to build it, I just want to trouble Lord Qin to say a please, just make me thirty pairs."
