Chapter 244: Tao Jiefu's Concerns

“?” Shi Wengong was also shocked, and began to calculate with his fingers, one set in two days, fifteen sets in one month, and nearly two hundred sets in a year. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Immediately, Lao Shi still shook his head and said: "It's still too slow, if it's just a rider's armor, it will take ten years for my Yongle Army to complete the redress." The horses haven't landed yet. ”

Han Yi couldn't help but start scratching his head, wanting to quibble, but he was worried about being bullied by Shi Wengong, so he didn't dare to speak.

Gao Fangping smiled slightly and said: "Old Shi Mo wants to force him, don't worry, there is always a way to solve a problem." Han Yi said that one set for two days is only now. In fact, this is a snowball process. In the casting process, they are still groping, the process of the manual assembly line will continue to improve, the proficiency of each craftsman will continue to improve, and the scale of the people involved will continue to expand. Each of these links is a multiplier effect, and the cumulative bonus is quite terrifying, so after running for a period of time, one set of two days is just the base, and it is not difficult to increase to two sets a day. ”

After a pause, Gao Fangping continued: "And this is based on the standards of Lao Tzu. But truth be told, it's already a blessing for an ordinary sergeant to have steel chain mail. It is impossible to spend huge manpower and material costs, what is provided to everyone is a hundred refined steel, and our goal is not to really defend the god arm crossbow, to give the sergeant the confidence to dare to charge, and to minimize the death of horses and sergeants is our goal, so there is no need for a hundred refining, as long as it is hand-forged steel chain mail, it is already the most luxurious equipment in this era. ”

Han Yi nodded frequently when he heard this.

It is said that Gao Fangping's set is called 100 refining steel, but in fact, there is no need for 100 refining, and every detail has been forged seven or eight times, and it is already a basically flawless thing.

In the end, Han Yi said: "If it doesn't need to be refined, it is just an ordinary steel chain mail, then a military order will be issued and all the heavy cavalry of the Yongle Army will be completed within two years." ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, good armor, what armor."

Liang Hongying's hand strength is not as strong as Shi Wengong's, so she doesn't use her hands, she holds the armor on the side and bites it with her teeth, experiencing the artifact feeling of the internal "microstructure" unloading.

Gao Fangping fainted, and she didn't know if her teeth would be broken. I have to admit that Liang Hongying is sometimes a beauty who is more cute than her little sister......

If it is changed to other things, Gao Fangping will be happy and happy to the emperor as soon as possible, but Zhao Ji is a literary youth and never likes to dance and rob sticks, so the armor does not need to be dedicated to Zhao Ji, and no one in the palace attacks the emperor with arrows anyway.

Speaking of which, there is a law in the United Kingdom that "prohibits shooting the queen with a bow and arrow at Buckingham Palace". Khan, Gao Fangping is not easy to judge what the legislator means. But the Great Song Dynasty is a civilized country, and no one does this kind of thing without this law......

After all, this body is only seventeen years old, so it is affected, Gao Fangping's child still has some temper, and he wears new armor very prominently, and walks like a crab.

In the past, for safety, the special fish scale armor worn by Gao Fangping was not very defensive, but it weighed nearly thirty kilograms, which was very inconvenient. But this set of steel chain mail is only half the weight, and it does not affect the flexibility of the joints.

Everyone looked at Xiao Gao, a rascal with strange expressions, wearing magical armor, and entered the Privy Council.

Tao Jiefu, who was sitting high in the lobby, said with bad intentions: "Don't think that if you kid wears a stupid set of armor, the old man won't be able to find a place to beat you, didn't you make enough trouble last time, and this time you came again." I said that you are idle all day long and do not go back to Yuncheng to govern, are you fighting against the imperial court? ”

"Xiangye misunderstood." Gao Fangping hugged his fists and said: "Xiaguan is a soldier who is worried about my Great Song Dynasty, and he has researched the divine armor, so he will send it to Xiangye to watch as soon as possible." This is a military weapon. ”

Lao Tao snorted and flashed nearby, leaned closer and began to observe. It's a simple and tightly knit structure.

Stretched out a finger and poked, just looking at the shape and structure, with Lao Tao's military experience, he knew that this kind of armor was the best equipment to defend against swords, guns and arrows.

"Bring a knife, the old man will cut him a few times to test his strength." Tao Jiefu instructed his entourage.

Gao Fangping jumped up in fright, turned around and ran.

But he was caught by Lao Tao, dragged back and said: "Coward, if you don't dare, get out of the way, take it off, put it on, and try it yourself." ”

"You're a fat man, this is a trumpet ......," Gao Fangping said embarrassedly.

Tao Jiefu didn't care about this, as a marshal who had led troops outside, he was very cold about these, so he ordered his subordinates to press Gao Fangping down, as if robbing, and pulled Gao Fangping's armor off alive.

After many efforts, Lao Tao was stunned to put it in, it felt very compact, and it was a little elastic, and his "general's belly" could be clearly seen through the armor.

"Hey, it's not a serious impact on lightness if it's so tight."

Lao Tao moved his hands and feet for a while, and felt that it was okay, and he slashed a few times at his own belly, with great force, sparks splashed, the knife edge was missing, but the steel chain mail was fine.

In order to fully match Tao Jiefu's playfulness, Gao Fangping looked very obscene, carrying a spear next to him and preparing to perform.

"Why are you still stunned, come and stab the old man twice to try the steel fire." Tao Jiefu commanded.

Gao Fangping looked for a few angles as if he had entered the village with a ghost word, but in the end, he threw the spear and picked it.

Damn, how dare you stab it, this is a trial product, in case something moth stabs Xiangye to death, the sin will be great.

"Get out of the way."

Lao Tao came over and drove Gao Fangping away, picked up the spear himself, mastered the strength, and stabbed himself a few times.

I kept stabbing and stabbing all the time, and the strength gradually escalated, and I felt more and more the pain after being impacted. But the damn it's all stabbed and shot, where is the reason for the pain. Tao Jiefu is already very sure that this is a set of peerless armor, and the performance of anti-stabbing and anti-arrow is the strongest, because the mysterious unloading structure and the ability to resist the hit of heavy equipment should not be underestimated.

In the end, Lao Tao was very satisfied, and he didn't take it off, so he walked up in armor and sat down to drink tea, and then asked, "How much does this thing cost?" ”

"Back to Xiangye, the cost is very expensive, it is almost impossible to equip the army in a large area, and the imperial court will not have that financial resources for at least ten years." Gao Fangping hugged his fists.

Tao Jiefu was slightly disappointed after hearing this, but after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved. How can something like this kind of treasure level be cheap.

This kind of thing doesn't mean that there is no such thing in the Great Song Dynasty, but it just means that this is an era when secret recipes are rampant, and even if there is, they are all picked up and hidden. For example, Xu Ning's family heirloom armor worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is a kind of chain mail, and then it was hidden by Xu Ning, and it was difficult for others to take a look.

Moreover, it is strictly a crime to build armor, and craftsmen with technical foundation generally do not have the financial resources and courage to develop it in this direction. Only Gao Fangping is willing to share this matter, and only Gao Fangping dares to build it, because the Gao family has a manufacturing brand given by the emperor, and it is theoretically not illegal to make anything.

"Okay, just tell me about the purpose of your kid coming to the Privy Council?" Tao Jiefu twisted his beard and said.

"Xiangye, you know my little high's concern for the country and the people." Gao Fangping said loyally, "The kid felt the cowardice of our army, so I have always been committed to building a military army that can defeat the barbarian iron cavalry in a field way, and finally one day I had a whim, and I designed such an artifact, which I plan to dedicate to the imperial court......"

Tao Jiefu smiled: "Didn't you climb Qingyun Mountain and suddenly see seven-colored clouds, a white-bearded old man told you?" ”

Gao Fangping's old face was slightly red.

Tao Jiefu turned to say: "Don't talk here and there, the old man knows your purpose, you want to equip your Yongle Army, right?" ”

"It's still Xiangye who knows Xia Guan best, okay, that's my purpose. The Yongle Army, that is the Yongle Army of the imperial court, to equip the army, of course, must have your approval. "Gao Fangping.

Tao Jiefu thought for a moment and said, "The old man asks you, even if the old man dares to take the risk of approving you, where will the money come from?" ”

Gao Fangping said: "As long as the prime minister approves, the silver money will be spent from the finances of ZC County." ”

Tao Jiefu is a person who understands and knows that this kind of huge spending, under normal circumstances, relying on the financial resources of a county is simply a fantasy. But Gao Fangping, the calf, is a real capable minister, and the earning power of ZC County has made everyone fall through the glasses. But despite this, there is gossip that Yuncheng has only just started now, and has not yet begun to exert its strength, and the potential in the future is much greater.

The only risk that Tao Jiefu said was political. The execution and combat power of the Yongle Army are already demonic enough, especially after Tao Jiefu heard that the Yongle Army integrated the group of bandits trained by the Seed Master, he sometimes sighed that this army is becoming more and more rebellious.

At the level of the imperial court, there is an army that is too against the sky, and it is on the frontier in wartime, which is of course the important weapon of the country and the confidence. However, in non-war times, there are also some hidden dangers in the interior.

Fortunately, the Yongle Army is only an establishment of more than 2,000 people and one army. And after the Bianjing Zhang Huaisu incident, it can be said that the Yongle Army has also undergone a political test, although the execution is off the charts, but it is an army with rules, there is no excessive behavior, and when it is besieged by the powerful, it understands the rules and knows the order of respect and inferiority.

These Tao Jiefu also knew, twisted his beard and thought about it for a long time, Tao Jiefu said: "In view of your bad deeds as a little cool official, your military combat power is too strong, if approved, the old man will take too much risk at the political level, how does the old man know that your kid will not make a big disaster in the next second?" It is true that if you don't equip these armors, you should still get into trouble, but once the old man relents and approves you, he will have some relationship with your Yongle army, if something happens in the future, do you think the old man will not be sprayed? So give the old man another reason. (To be continued.) )
