Bailiyan (Wei Xian) is looking at the fire, how can he not give a gift to his nephew when they meet for the first time. He said:

"I wonder if the major general likes swords, or does he like knives?"

"Naturally, it is a sword, and a gentleman should use a dignified sword to level the world, and the sword is inevitably overbearing." Li Yi pursed his lips, preferring to use a sword rather than a knife.

"This horizontal knife blows short hair and sharpens iron like clay, since the young general loves swords, he will send someone tomorrow and give the young general a sword."

"Oh!" Li Yi's heart lit up, and he asked, "How is the sword compared to this sword?" ”

"It's comparable."

At this time, Ji Tong said:

"The nephew must not be rude, the sword is General Wei's beloved thing, how can he win people's love."

"Uncle, General Wei said that he gave it away, how could the little nephew not be honored. Besides, this sword is rare in the world, and the little nephew has made contributions on the battlefield, how can he lack a good sword, General Wei, do you say this is the case. ”

Bai Liyan echoed with a smile:

"What the young general said is extremely true, what's the harm in sending a sword, there are still two hundred such swords and swords, and there is no shortage of such a sharp sword."

As soon as the words came out, Ji Tong's face twitched, and he hurriedly asked:

"General Wei, these swords are not unique?"

Bai Liyan nodded shamelessly:

"There are two horizontal swords, a sharp sword, and two spears in the army, all of which are of the same quality. In addition, Wei Mou has more than 200 such weapons in the deserted village of Lincheng, Beihai County, since the young general likes it, why not give one. ”

"Hiss......" Ji Tong was shocked, thinking that if what Bai Liyan said was true, wouldn't he lose a lot. But after thinking about it, Baili Yan must have a secret method of forging fine iron, and if he asked to build a blade for the Liang army, wouldn't it be very profitable. He said again: "Isn't there a famous master craftsman in General Wei's army?" ”

Bai Liyan nodded shamelessly again:

"It's just a little bit of experience, it's not worth mentioning."

Ji Tong's face immediately became strange, and he looked at Bailiyan left and right, this subtext clearly stated that only Bailiyan knew the secret recipe of fine iron. While thinking about it, Li Yi doubted:

"How can such a treasure sword be available to everyone, General Wei will not deceive the general."

Bai Liyan smiled calmly, with a harmless look on his face, took out a dagger from the boot on his leg, cut off a strand of hair from his head, calmly pulled out a horizontal knife and said:

"Master Hou and the young general are optimistic, this knife is not a lie, if the sword given by Wei does not have this miraculous effect, he will be willing to be punished."

After that, Bai Liyan pressed a strand of hair on the edge of the blade and blew hard, only to see the hair cut into two sections in the blink of an eye, and slowly fall to the ground, which made Ji Tong stunned.

This is still a knife, if hundreds or thousands of people are equipped with the Xian army, how can there be an army in the world that is the opponent of the Xian army. When Ji Tong was stunned, Li Yi was tired of this, and temporarily took out the iron sword he carried with him, and put one end on the table, about to split the sword:

"Come, let's see if General Wei's sword is hard, or General Ben's sword is fast, if General Ben's sword is missing under one blow, General Ben will believe you!"

Seeing this, Ji Tong immediately shouted:

"My nephew is messing around, my sword has no eyes, if I hurt my nephew, how can my uncle explain it to your father and aunt. Where is the Pawn Kun! ”

A general outside the door stepped into the hall and saluted:

"The last general!"

"Test the sword for the major general."

Dian Kun looked up at Bailiyan, he had already heard the conversation outside the door, saw the bright knife, and knew that this knife was extraordinary. He stepped closer, looked at the horizontal knife carefully, and said sincerely:

"Li Gongzi is afraid that it is dangerous to hold the sword."

Li Yi frowned, quite unconvinced, and said:

"This is the sword that General Ben asks for with a lot of money, and he can't stand it with a blow."

"Nephew, let General Dian try it, and you will know that it is powerful."

Dian Kun took Li Yi's sword, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and put one end on the case, the blade facing upward. Bai Liyan held the knife in both hands and tried the angle, and said with all her strength:

"General Dian, be careful!"

"Okay, let's try the knife!"

As soon as the words fell, Baili Yan's hand clicked, Dian Kun's tiger body was shocked, and he was stunned, and the sword was straight to all the two sections, and he almost didn't feel the heavy pressure on his hand, as smooth as chopping vegetables, which was unbelievable.

Li Yi's saber is known to Kun, there is no problem with the top ten in Liang Guo, and he actually cut it into two sections with a vertical blow, if it is on the battlefield, he can't stop his head with a knife.

The fine iron sword was still like this, and the bronze sword couldn't parry it at all, and he couldn't help but feel a cold sweat on his spine. If he were to do so, he would never be able to stop this sword, even the most elite fine scale armor would not be able to stop such a sword.

Ji Tong and Li Yi were even more dumbfounded, and they were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses, at this time, Bai Liyan pointed the horizontal knife edge upwards, pointed at Fang Cai's incision and said:

"Master Hou, young general, this is the place where the sword was cut, the sword has been broken, but this knife is unharmed and still sharp. And this knife has been with Wei in April, cutting off no less than fifty swords, leaving no gaps, I don't know the Hou Ye, the young general, think the second knife can be called a treasure knife? ”

"The sword, it's really a sword. General Wei just said that there are still such weapons in the battalion, I wonder if General Wei is willing to cut his love to Benhou? Ji Tong asked.

"Well...... What is the plan of Hou Ye for the matter of An Liang? ”

"In a word, as long as there is a coal mine in Anliang, the previous conditions will be counted."

"Okay, then ask Master Hou to bid."

At this time, Li Yi on the side picked up the "sword" that had been cut in half, and said it was a pity:

"This is a sword made of five hundred inches of silver!"

Hearing that he believed that 500 inches of silver was bought for such a broken sword, Baili Yan's eyebrows were raised, his nephew was really full and didn't know that he was hungry, and Qiguo had already sold women, and he also spent 500 inches of silver to buy such a broken sword, he was really rich.

Ji Tong was very complicated at this time, first signaled to Dian Kun to stay outside the door, and then paced back and forth for two steps, thinking that Bai Liyan's hand obviously couldn't buy such a sharp weapon of 500 inches of silver with money, but if it was a handful of 500 inches of silver, 10,000 would be 5 million, and even if he hollowed out Liang Guotaicang, he couldn't turn out so much silver.

"General Wei, this method of forging knives is really created by the general?"

Bai Liyan didn't nod shamelessly this time:

"The law of manufacturing is related to the lifeblood of the country's fortune, and if Wei can't obey his fate, presumably my king will not want to see such things happen. However, weapons can be discussed, but the premise is to give priority to equipping the Xian army, and then make other plans. ”

"In that case, General Wei will make a price, how much silver is needed for such a peerless weapon?"

At this time, Li Yi opened his mouth and said indiscriminately:

"A thousand pieces of silver are worth it, uncle."

Ji Tong's heart was beating wildly, and Liang Guofu was really rich.

"Don't talk nonsense, nephew, this is a major military matter, 100,000 Liang troops are equipped with such weapons, and a thousand inches of silver are not child's play. General Wei, make an offer. ”

Wei Xian was unhurried, put the knife into the sheath and said:

"Thirty inches of silver."

"Three, thirty!"

Ji Tong opened his mouth in surprise, and Li Yi immediately smiled:

"It's really worth it, my uncle buys it, it's only thirty inches of silver, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world."

Li Yi said without heart, Ji Tong's old face immediately turned red, coughed and continued:

"General Wei, it's too high."

Bai Liyan shook his head and smiled:

"This is not high, iron is more expensive than copper, and the iron swords used by the soldiers are divided into two kinds, one is pig iron mixed with wrought iron swords, and the other is wrought iron swords, the price is between seven and ten inches of silver or guanqian, and the fine iron sword is even more fifteen inches of silver or guanqian. And the 'peerless' sword of the young general actually cost 500 inches of silver, and Wei's sword weapon of 30 inches of silver should be worth it. ”

"But even so, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be millions, no matter how rich the Liang State is, it will be difficult to come up with such a huge amount of gold and silver for a while, can't it be discounted with copper coins."

"Yes, but not in copper coins, but in grain, grass, cloth, oil, silk and linen, livestock, and other things. Of course, it cannot be calculated at the market price of Xianguo, but by the market price of Liangguo, otherwise the market price of Xianguo is high, the market price of Liang is low, and the market price of Xianguo is calculated. ”

"Okay, good...... I, Ji Tong, thought that the person in the world who was proficient in business was none other than the Ji family, and I never thought that General Wei was still proficient in this way. Okay, just discount the price of gold, silver, copper coins, and commercial goods, but I don't know when the Xianguo will be able to supply weapons? ”

"Well, it depends on when the Hou Ye asks people to go to Anliang to prospect for mines, Xianguo is waiting for one and a half million stone grains and grass to be put into the pot, the longer it is delayed, the later the time to make a large number of blades will be, and the production can start in half a year at the earliest, if it is delayed, there is no fixed number for one year or two, and then the Black Turban Army will make a comeback, but it will be too late to regret it."

"In this way, Xianguo is not yet able to produce."

Ji Tong asked rhetorically, which reminded Bai Liyan of Ji Feng's trick of defrauding the liquor and soy sauce processes at the beginning, and thought that Ji Tong must also be thinking about the abacus of cooperating in production to make profits and deceive the process.

"This matter is not to worry about Hou Ye, although Wei obeys the orders of King Xian, but he does something and does not do something, Hou Ye is here to Xianguo, isn't it the same."

"Hahaha......"

Ji Tong burst into laughter, and Li Yi was surprised:

"Uncle, what did General Wei say, why did you laugh."

"Little nephew, this General Wei in front of you is a model for you to follow, and you can ask General Wei for advice in the future."

Ji channel, love and hate in his heart. really underestimated this doctor, and blackmail can also kill people.

After finalizing the four things of selling grain, borrowing horses, prospecting, and selling knives, Ji Tong talked about the deployment of the new envoy and the Liang army, focusing on Jiang Qian. Jiang Qian was assigned by Ji Tongfa to the left army to serve as the governor of the capital, and he was worthy of his status as the eldest son of Guangxin.
