Li Fu's confident voice hit the listener's heart, and Li Dang's heart seemed to be broken.

Yes, let the people of Huaxia be exempted from forced labor, isn't this exactly what the Holy King does?

If Confucianism were to prevent such behavior, would it not be contrary to their desire to commit to the government of three generations?

If the Huns can exchange for equipment, Longxi is promising!

"Uncle, the Huns can be changed, and the Qiang people, can they also ......?"

Li Fu nodded, "The value of the Qiang people is half that of the Xiongnu!" ”

"Why are the Qiang people cheap? Their strength is no worse than that of the Huns. ”

"This is what General Nan Zhong specially explained. The Qiang people only exist near Longxi, and their combat effectiveness is low, if the value is the same as that of the Huns, what do you think of Beidi and Yanmen? Hasn't Longxi become the target of public criticism? Li Fu persuaded with bitter words, "Dare, don't be blinded by petty profits, as a general, you should have a long-term vision." Have you forgotten what happened to the Marquis in the first place? If he had made a wide range of friends, how could he have not pleaded for him before he died? ”

"My Li clan has been entrenched in Longxi for many years, although it is at the border and the position is important, Your Majesty will not take it down easily, but there is no absolute! Liu's Tianzi is emotionally changeable and capricious, don't forget Deng Tong's fate! ”

"You are a concubine, but you have no chance to inherit the position of the head of the family. Although the eldest brother has died, he has a son named Ling. Brother Guang is old, maybe he will ...... one day Tragically died on the battlefield. Jiao'er is almost obedient to Brother Guang on weekdays, and she has to ask for advice on everything, and she has no opinions, so it is difficult to assist the next head of the family! ”

"You're different, you're still young, and there's still a chance! As long as you have extensive friends and friendship with other famous families on the border, you will definitely be able to ensure the safe growth of Ling'er! ”

Li Fu sighed slightly, "My generation can't make the Li family appear as a liege, so we can only rely on you and other juniors." ”

As an elder, although he was talking about business at this time, he still couldn't hold back and educated Li Dang.

"Uncle, dare to understand. Qiang people, half worth half! Wu Longxi admitted! ”

"Good!" Li Fu nodded with satisfaction, "Let's discuss the price." ”

Li Dang made a gesture of please, "Please ask my uncle to say a reserve price." ”

"Salt, five hundred dollars per stone! Salted fish, two hundred dollars per stone! Horseshoes, stirrups, a set of two thousand yuan, and for each set ordered, Wu Nan Zhongjun gave a saddle. ”

Li Dang was so frightened by this price that he almost fell to the ground and screamed, "Gong really dares to speak." ”

Just now he used the tone of a member of the Li family in Longxi to educate himself, how did this change in a blink of an eye?

Good guys, this is not selling, this is simply a money grab!

What about slaughtering yourself like a pig?

The price of salt, the price is almost doubled!

And the salted fish too, almost doubled!

The most is the three-piece set right away!

It seems that the act of giving a saddle is very benevolent, but just a few small things are sold for two thousand dollars!

To accept this price, it is better to buy the materials yourself and make your own.

Perhaps seeing Li Kang's thoughts, Li Fu calmly took a sip of water and said softly: "Dare, buy a three-piece set now, every 100 sets, and give one to the thunder."

"Boom, boom?"

"Oh, a new weapon." Li Fu said lightly.

"Uncle, what is this thing for?"

"Oh, this thing is usually used in siege warfare. For example, the palace wall of the Jiaodong Wang's palace was pierced by it at the time of a stick of incense. Of course, there are many other uses for it, and if you pair it with a trebuchet or an eight-ox crossbow, the effect is amazing! ”

After two months of research, at the cost of the sacrifice of several craftsmen, the Nan Zhong Army successfully developed the first projectile model of the Thunder!

Although the effect is not very stable, and the explosion time is not accurate, at least it can make the clay pot containing black powder explode a few hundred steps away.

Especially in combination with the Eight Ox Crossbow, a small clay pot is fixed to a spear and can explode up to 600 paces away!

"Uncle, I don't understand." Li Dang had a big question mark on his head.

What a crossbow, what trebuchet, what the hell is this?

And pierced the palace wall, this palace wallpaper paste?

When did Dahan have so many strange things?

"Harm, it's my uncle who was careless and forgot to take you to visit the armory of the Southern Zhong Army." Li patted his head violently, "That's it, it's too late, uncle will make a long story short, let's introduce some of the power of the two." ”

Worried that his nephew would not believe it, he deliberately raised his hand and swore, "I Li Fu vouches for my reputation, if the following remarks are false and fabricated, I am willing to be cut by the ghosts and gods to die!" ”

Li Dare heard the assurance, sat up straight, and his expression suddenly became much more serious.

"Dare, eight-ox crossbow, small in size, can be placed on top of a carriage! When using it, it requires five horses to open the bow, and the maximum range is 800 paces! You can understand that this is a modified bed crossbow! ”

"Placed in a catapult, it needs to be driven by twenty people, and it can throw stones at a distance of about 300 steps, which is suitable for siege and defense! If it is handed over to Longxi, it can be used to resist the annual Qiang chaos! ”

Seeing that his nephew's expression was a little excited, Li Fu hurriedly said: "The Eight Ox Crossbow is being installed and disassembled to destroy the machine, and it will not be sold to the public for the time being, and the trebuchet can hand over the drawings to Longxi, but every year, Longxi needs to pay five hundred gold to the Nanzhong Army...... Uh, in the words of General Namjong, it's the patent fee. ”

Li Fu licked his lips, and knew that it was more troublesome to explain, so he said: "In this way, I will take it to the armory and take a look, let the soldiers perform it once, and let you open your eyes!"

Li Dang didn't want to be wronged, he knew the importance of experience, just like stirrups and horseshoes, after using it, it was relieved, "Uncle Lao led the way." ”

"Come over here!"

…………

An hour later

The two of them returned to the room.

This time, Li Kang's pride was completely gone, and he was completely shocked by the power of these weapons.

The edges and corners of pride are smoothed.

A clay pot can blow up a big hole.

And that eight-bull crossbow, which was smaller than a bed crossbow, could actually penetrate three walls six hundred paces away!

Not to mention trebuchets!

Nan Zhongjun completely subverted his cognition!

Good guys, the equipment is crushed!

Although most of the soldiers were cloth armor and rough equipment, this long-range and large-scale attack method made up for this shortcoming.

It's like a bunch of barbarians rushing out of a cave with bazookas, facing elephants.

Although hand-to-hand combat is not comparable, it only takes one shot to win.

After looking at the arsenal, he roughly estimated that if the Southern Zhong Army had the intention of rebellion, the group of armor soldiers of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty, even if the suppression was successful, would take decades to recover.

"Dare, after reading it, what is your intention? Does Longxi order? ”

"Uncle, everything that Nan Zhongjun intends to sell, I want it in Longxi! However, this price, I hope it can be negotiated again,"

Li Fu squinted his eyes, "How much does Longxi bid?" ”

"Salt is four hundred dollars per stone! Salted fish is one hundred and fifty dollars per stone! Immediately a three-piece set, a set of eight hundred dollars. ”

"Impossible! If this is the highest price in Longxi, with all due respect, I'm afraid I won't even be able to drink the soup. ”

"Uncle, be content! As far as my nephew knows, Chang'an can't share the profits from weapons and equipment at all! Don't forget the things that make you the master! Li dared to turn around and preach to Li Fu in an old-fashioned tone.

Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from the door, "There is no need for Longxi to worry about this, a few days ago, I had already sent someone to Chang'an." Immediately the profit of the three-piece set, Chang'an can get forty percent! ”

Li Dare looked at the door curiously, and Li Fu had already stood up at this time, walked up quickly, and arched his hand, "General!" ”

"Gong Li, please get up." Bai Mingzhe held Li Fu up with both hands, and then smiled at Li Dang behind him.

Li Dang reacted, and I quickly stood up, "I've seen Taiyuanjun!" ”

Bai Mingzhe made a gesture of please, "Please be seated." ”

Li Fu attached himself to Bai Mingzhe's ear and asked softly, "Why is Bai Gong here?"

"I heard that Li's tiger is here, I will take a look."

"Taiyuan Jun is serious, dare to be brave and strategic, tiger, dare not be."

Bai Mingzhe stroked his hand and smiled, "How?" How much does Longxi offer? With the modesty of Brother Li Kang, he could have given him a few discounts. ”

"General, his bid is far below the reserve price." Li Fu repeated the offer just now.

Suddenly, Bai Mingzhe was silent.

The smile on his face faded, and his face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell whether it was sad or happy.

Li Dang was frightened by this expression, his face changed slightly, and he was a little panicked, "Taiyuan Jun ......"

Bai Mingzhe raised his hand to interrupt, pretending to be angry, and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, contemptible, I really want to do business with Longxi." Please make a price in Longxi and show sincerity. ”

"How much does Taiyuan-kun want?"

"It seems that General Li Fu's face, salt, four hundred and fifty yuan per stone, salted fish, one hundred and eighty yuan per stone, immediately three sets, one set, fifteen hundred yuan!"

Li dared to hear the price, and his teeth creaked.

At this moment, he completely realized the feeling of being a knife and a fish and meat!

"Can't it be any lower?"

Bai Mingzhe's voice was firm, "This is the bottom line!" If Longxi wants to obtain military merits, don't hesitate! This price, not expensive! How much is a set of armor? How much does this thing cost? If it is against the Huns, which is more important, armor or stirrups? ”

"Furthermore, before the advent of horseshoes, how many horses had to retire from the battlefield each year because of damage to their hooves? Don't dare to say anything else, just the horseshoe alone can save nearly a thousand gold in military spending for Longxi every year! ”

The more Bai Mingzhe spoke, the more excited he became, "Brother Li Kang, I know that the production process of the horseshoe is simple, but this stirrup, the cost and materials required for the production are all unbearable in Longxi." But if you do not believe, then when you return, let the blacksmith make it. There is no forging method, even if it is made in Longxi, it is an inferior product. With the Nan Zhong Army here, there will be a three-piece suit immediately, but it is impossible for bad money to expel good money! ”

"Why does Taiyuan Jun say that there is no forging method in Longxi?"

"Based on the forging method used by the Nan Zhong Army at the moment, it is contained!"

“！” Li Dang's pupils shrank suddenly.

He heard this name said by his middle brother Li Jiao, and it was said to be passed down by Liuhou.

If the forging technique really came from this book, he really didn't have the confidence to copy it again.

Especially Bai Mingzhe's sentence that even if the imitation is successful, the quality is not good, makes him quite worried.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, if the war is really lost because of the quality of the weapon, the Li clan in Longxi will be scolded to death by the people of the world: there is no need for good equipment, let the Han soldiers die on the battlefield, such an act, how can it be a general?

Even if he dies, I'm afraid he will be poked in the back.

This price, Longxi Li is unwilling to accept!

Bai Mingzhe grinned and smiled slightly, "Brother Li Kang, how are you thinking about it?" Ben will go to Dare's in a while. I heard that Northland doesn't care about price, only about quantity. I think it will be a pleasure to talk to him. ”

Li Dare whispered and whispered, "Dare to husband...... Cheng doesn't know that fat man! No way. Cheng Fatzi must not be allowed to succeed! ”

He raised his head and gritted his teeth, "Just according to what Taiyuanjun said!" ”

"Okay, those who know the times are Junjie!" Bai Mingzhe's eyes were full of appreciation, "Finally, let's discuss the amount of salt purchased in Longxi." Let's talk about it in advance, even if you give a specific number, you may not get the amount to match! The winter weather in Jiaodong is bad, and the salt output is not as good as forty percent in other seasons, so in the distribution of specific needs, I have to pinch the head and tail and cut the part. ”

He paused slightly, and continued: "How many goods do you want in Longxi?"

"General, General Li Guang said, Longxi, 30,000 stones of salt and 20,000 stones of salted fish!"

Li Dang paused slightly, his heart was ruthless, and he broke out an order that he thought was large enough, for the sake of horseshoes and stirrups, he had made a lot of money!

He believes that after he goes back, his father will not only not beat him, but he will also praise him fiercely in front of the major forces in Longxi!

"If possible, horseshoes, stirrups, Longxi wants 10,000 sets!"

Bai Mingzhe didn't say anything yet, Li Fuxian frowned, "So much?" When did Wulongxi have so much spare for military spending? This is nearly 3,000 gold, 30% of Longxi's annual military expenditure. ”

Li Dang laughed, "Uncle, people who do business, are you still afraid that others will ask for more?" ”

The corners of Li Fu's mouth twitched wildly, and he was actually ridiculed by his nephew.

Bai Mingzhe interjected to alleviate the embarrassment, "When doing business, I naturally hope that the bigger the order, the better." Since Longxi is willing to buy, then I naturally want to sell. It's just that when will Longxi settle this payment? ”

"Didn't you go back to Chang'an to settle the settlement after the merchant sent it?" Li dared to ask curiously.

"That's true of the settlement order, but because the number of people involved is so large, the procedure is naturally more complicated." Bai Mingzhe's tone was full of apologies, "I hope that Longxi can pay thirty percent of the payment in advance." Of course, there is no need to transport it to Jiaodong, just say hello to Danongcheng and ask him to directly allocate part of Longxi's military expenses in the coming year to the military expenses of the Nanzhong Army. ”

Li Dang took a long breath, what did he think, he patted his chest and said: "This is easy to say, after I return to Longxi, I will immediately ask my father to submit the documents to Chang'an." Before delivery, the payment can reach the books of the South Armed Army. ”

Bai Mingzhe applauded, "Happy!" ”

"Li Fu, bring pen and ink, I was going to sign a transaction document with Brother Li Kang!"
