Although Zhang Rui talked about the logistics work in a big way, Li Si was still slightly disappointed when he left. Fortunately, he is also a member of the bandit team, and Li Si is not very optimistic about the logistics work that Zhang Rui said. To talk about cooking, bandaging wounds and other work is understandable.

"Just talking to them about the tragic stories you see in various places is more effective than killing bandits yourself? What is it? Li Si thought back to what Zhang Rui had said to him and shook his head.

"Forget it, anyway, I can go up and kill the bandits when the time comes."

Li Si was sent by Zhang Rui to do his work in this way in various doubts. Go to the Li Mansion and pick up the rice that Zhang Rui temporarily stored there for about three stones.

Zhang Rui returned home and took all the hidden silver tickets with him, and took out 5 of the 15 ingots and 20 taels of silver ingots from the underground of the urine tank and put them in the broken silver bag. At this time, Zhang Rui carried 500 taels of silver tickets, 100 taels of silver ingots, about 70 taels of broken silver and more than three copper plates.

When Zhang Rui was about to leave the village, Li Niushi caught up with him excitedly. Li Niushi told Zhang Rui that his family agreed to him to follow Zhang Rui. It is said that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and everything is fate.

So Zhang Rui asked Li Niushi to go to the town with him, and there were people talking and laughing along the way.

Regarding this place called Longtou Town, Zhang Rui said that he didn't know at all. Zhang Liu didn't have much information in his memory, and the villagers of this era generally went not far away, and most of them just went between the ruins.

The lowest grassroots level in the Qing Dynasty is the county, and the county is the village, and there is generally no town, which is said to be a town, but rather a distribution point of several nearby villages and markets, which are not villages and counties, according to their names. Zhang Rui can only be called a town in modern consciousness, and when he speaks the local language, he still calls it a ruin.

There are many more people in the town than in Datong Village, and it usually takes nearly 1,000 people to become a bazaar. The market is similar to the village, and it is much larger than the village, and generally there will be people in the yamen to collect taxes when the market is set up to set up stalls, and this tax is directly divided by the county government and will not be handed over to the imperial court.

Today is not the Longtou Market (market day), so there are not many people visiting.

Zhang Rui walked with Li Niushi for about half an hour before arriving at this Longtou Town. If it weren't for the market day, there would not be many stalls, and the business in the streets of the town would not be very prosperous.

The first thing he did when he arrived in the town was to find the only blacksmith shop in the town, Li's Blacksmith Shop. After all, you have to deal with bandits, and you can't do anything without weapons.

When Zhang Rui and Li Niushi walked into the shop, Li Laibao, the owner of Li's blacksmith shop, was striking iron with three apprentices.

"What do you want to buy?" Li Laibao saw Zhang Rui and Li Niushi who came in, so he greeted him

"Boss, is that all you have here?" Zhang Rui asked, looking at the ironware hanging in the store

There are some agricultural tools in the shop, and there are some kitchen knives and woodcutters, and there are no weapons at all.

When Li Laibao heard this, he seemed to understand something, and it seemed that he had a business.

"Little brother, sit inside." Saying that, Li Laibao guided Zhang Rui and Li Niushi to the inner room, turned around and instructed the three apprentices to continue working.

Zhang Rui took Li Niu's through the bellows at the front of the store and entered the inner room. In the inner room, there is a table of eight immortals, and several tea sets are placed on the table. There is plenty of natural light, and the room is relatively spacious and bright.

"Please sit down, little brother, and drink tea." Saying that, Li Laibao poured some tea for Zhang Rui and Li Niushi. "I don't know what the little brother wants to buy, how much does he want?"

"Boss, you are a real person, since you are straight to the point, I will not detour with you. Do you have any spears here, I'm going to buy some. Zhang Rui looked at Li Laibao, who had an enthusiastic face, and said, it seems that he has done a lot of business in this side-of-the-way.

In fact, if you think about it, you know that there is only one blacksmith shop in this area. But just selling ordinary iron tools and repairing agricultural tools, where is there enough money to support his family and a few apprentices? So deviations are essential.

There are a lot of bandit dens nearby, and the bandits have to come to him to buy any weapons? This is the way to get money quickly. As long as the people of the yamen are taken care of, not to mention selling some knives for bandits, it is no problem to sell armor publicly.

"Yes, yes, I don't know how many little brother wants?" After hearing what Zhang Rui wanted to buy, Li Laibao said more enthusiastically.

"How many? Nothing more? This is too far from the number in Zhang Rui's heart. As long as the traversal crowd understands that the spear array is a big killer weapon against ordinary bandits, so a few are far from enough.

After hearing Zhang Rui's words, Li Laibao was overjoyed. You must know that the bandits like steel knives, and people who don't have some martial arts won't buy this spear, so the sales have not been very good. There are still more than a dozen in the warehouse, and a few days ago, Li Laibao was thinking about whether to melt them to make knives, and it seems that there is a market for them this time.

"There are about sixteen more, I don't know how many little brother wants, if you want more, you can only build more."

"At least thirty or more!" Zhang Rui thought for a while and said

"In that case, we have to build it again. When is the latest time to get the goods? Li Laibao asked Zhang Rui

"As fast as you can, preferably before dark tomorrow."

"It's a bit difficult to get out more than a dozen pieces in one day." Li Laibao said with some embarrassment: "Little brother wants a steel knife, this is definitely easy to use, and it is much easier to carry." ”

"What is the price of steel knives? What is the price of a spear. Zhang Rui looked at Li Laibao, who got up again to pour tea for Zhang Rui, and said. Li Niushi looked at Zhang Rui, who was talking eloquently with Li Laibao, and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. I don't think I have the courage to add a few years of experience.

"If you buy a steel knife alone, you will need three or two, and if you buy more than three, you can get a discount, and two or two or eight dollars a piece will be counted for you. As for the spear, it's two taels and one dollar, but seeing that the little brother bought a lot, count you two or two! Li Laibao offered the price to Zhang Rui one by one.

"I don't know if the little brother has any other weapons? I can also customize some special weapons here. Even the price will be relatively expensive. ”

"Do you have a bow here?" Zhang Rui asked as if he had suddenly thought of something.

Bows, which are key forbidden weapons, as well as crossbows and armor.

"There are two bows and arrows, but you know it's hard to make. It's that the imperial court is not ordinarily strict. So the price will be much higher. ”

"How many forces is your bow?"

"Well, it's a seven-bucket bow used in the general army!" As soon as Li Laibao heard it, he knew that he couldn't fool casually, so he answered honestly.

"How much silver is a bow, and is it worthy of arrows?"

"The bow is eleven taels and one one, and the arrows are more difficult to make, so each arrow costs three dollars of silver, and I have about thirty arrows here, and if you take it, I will count you as eight taels and five dollars." Listening to Zhang Rui's intended inquiry, Li Laibao replied excitedly. Sure enough, he was a big customer, although I didn't understand why he was still wearing such tattered clothes.

"Do you have any weapons here?" Zhang Rui continued to ask

"There's nothing special left, just a few shields. Does the little brother need it? Li Laibao thought for a while and said

"How old is it?"

"It's about the same size as an ordinary water tank, made of wood, and with special leather, there is definitely no problem with cutting and arrow resistance."

"And how many do you have, and at what price?"

"Well, it depends on how many things the little brother wants to buy. Now there are still twelve more in the warehouse. If you buy more, count your preferential price, one or two dollars a piece. ”

After listening to Li Laibao's introduction one by one, Zhang Rui said to him: "Boss, I'm ready to count them one by one." ”

"I want ten steel knives, all shields, bows and arrows, and spears, all of which you are ready, and I want them. And you will give me at least fourteen spears in the next two days, and I will come and get them when the time comes. ”

"Count the money!"

"Okay, okay." Li Laibao agreed with his mouth closed
