Chapter 478: Damascus Knife Strategy
Chapter 478: Damascus Knife Raiders
Li Xian, the king of Yongdi in Dingfang, thought it was inconvenient, but, in the final analysis, this Penglai Palace gradually replaced the status of Taiji Palace, so he often had to go around a big palace. However, now that the emperor and queen are on vacation in Furong Garden, this Yongwang is also deserted, after all, even the three provinces and six departments in the imperial city are now a lot quieter, let alone here.
However, on this day, a few people who slipped from the Hibiscus Garden gathered in Yongwangdi again, which suddenly made this place lively again. In addition to the return of Li Xian, the master, there were also Qu Tu Zhongxiang, Zhou Xiao, Cheng Bohu and Xue Dingshan. Although several of them were thinking about the competition for a daughter-in-law in a few days, this did not dampen their interest in it.
The red-haired Mikhail sat there very angrily, and in the face of many eyes, he cleared his throat, pointed to a bare-headed Gamoro next to him, and winked at everyone: "I have now settled on this matter of refining iron. This Master Gamora came from Southern Tianzhu, and according to him, the steel of Nauz was produced in Northern Tianzhu. He once knew a certain master of the Northern Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom and knew the origin of this Uzi steel. ”
Saying this, everyone's eyes fell on Gamoro, especially Qu Tu Zhongxiang and Zhou Xiao, the two guys who drilled in the eyes of money, and their eyes lit up. Before this product was produced, they went to various mansions to do investigations - after all, Qu Tu Zhongxiang was a half-in martial arts, and Zhou Xiao was not good at dancing knives and guns at all, so he was completely unfamiliar with this kind of trick.
This iron dagger is worth one or two thousand yuan, to say the least. If this is really an iron treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay, even if the price is tens of thousands of yuan, some people will buy it! It's all money, a lot of money!
Li Xian looked at Gamora and always felt that this monk's behavior was a little strange. Reasoning, he went back to Chonghuafang and put down the cruel words, not to mention the mustard. This Gamora should also hold a grudge, why did he suddenly catch up with the red-haired guy? With suspicion in his heart, his eyes suddenly revealed a little suspicion - although this Wuzi steel is rare, there are many Tianzhu suppliers in Helan Zhou, and it is said that there are already people who are willing to undertake this transaction.
Isn't it just to spend a lot of money on imported raw materials? Anyway, he has a lot of money, and he can afford it!
Gamora went to Tianzhu before, and that was to further study Buddhism, after all. The courtesy that Master Xuanzang received after returning from Tianzhu was enough to make him very moved. However, compared with the prosperity of Datang, the pattern of Tianzhu city-states is really difficult to attract him, so of course he wants to return to Datang. However, this braggadocio is okay, but he is definitely not as good as the master Xuanzang back then, if he comes to three or five hundred monks, he will have to be defeated in the end.
Therefore, it has become a shortcut to cooperate with Lu Jiayi to offer more pills. But who knew that the shortcut to development would turn into a shortcut to the severed?
"His Royal Highness King Yong, the Uzi steel of Beitianzhu is famous in the whole west, when Persia was strong, almost all the Uzi steel was shipped to Persia, and it was processed by good craftsmen there, the most famous is the Damascus knife and Damascus sword. Persia no longer exists. However, the Great Food captured many Persian craftsmen, so most of the Uzi steel in Northern Tianzhu now flows into the Great Food Land. Ordinary Tianzhu merchants may be able to bring some of them, but the number will not be large. ”
At this time, Li Xian deeply realized the profound meaning of the four words geographical advantage. Now that Da Shi has just risen, this strength is about the same as that of Datang, even if the difference is not too far, there is still a fight to fight, but the problem is. The journey from Tianzhu to Dashi is very short, but from Tianzhu to Datang, you either go to the Western Regions or pass through Tubo. Neither path is so smooth. And it would be nice to have one of the ten ships of Hainan Airlines in this year reach their destination, so they are counting on this road.
Weighing Gamora's words, Li Xian felt that this guy was full of confidence, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he felt that it made sense, so he simply asked. As a result, the next words of this fake Tianzhu monk suddenly cheered him up.
"As long as His Highness can give me the voucher of Datang, I will definitely try to transport back at least three thousand catties of Uzi steel from Beitianzhu. This Mr. Mi also agreed, saying that he could invite a Persian craftsman in Tianzhu's hermitage. ”
This is undoubtedly huge good news, not to mention that Qu Tu Zhongxiang and Zhou Xiao have little stars in their eyes, and even Li Xian can't help but stand up all of a sudden. Cheng Bohu and Xue Dingshan glanced at each other, and at the same time seriously considered how much of a bonus their combat effectiveness would be if the stainless steel plate axe was replaced by an iron plate axe, and the bright silver spear was replaced by an iron spear.
This matter suddenly evolved from ethereal to very hopeful, Li Xian still felt a little suspicious, and was about to think about it again, but Qu Tu Zhongxiang stood up suddenly.
"Liulang, this matter is beneficial and harmless, as long as you say it to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely approve! In this way, I will bring more than 100 families to follow them, keep and transport all the things back safely! Besides, the Tibetan people were beaten by you and lost their temper,
There is also General Pei in charge, don't you take advantage of such a great opportunity, wouldn't it
Qu Tu Zhongxiang said this with confidence and impassioned, not to mention that Cheng Bohu and Xue Dingshan were dumbfounded, even Zhou Xiao, who was most familiar with him, was dumbfounded, and even got up and tested him on the forehead.
You must know that there are fights between the various clans in the Western Regions from time to time, which is chaotic enough, but compared to Tianzhu, where the relationship between the city-states is complicated, the Western Regions can be called a peaceful paradise. This Qutu family is not very vigorous, and the first two elders will release him? Besides, even Qu Tu Shenruo wouldn't let this younger brother run to Tianzhu with confidence, right?
Li Xian thought about the gains and losses repeatedly, and finally felt that he was losing a sum of money at most, which was worth mentioning to his father and mother - he had also done his homework, although he had iron before, zzzcn, and then there were imports to the Central Plains, but not to mention a thousand catties, it was already quite good to have a dozen or hundreds of catties, which was almost the cost of a long knife. In order to save costs, most of them are to make some daggers and the like, and they are far from being as good as imported finished products. However, 3,000 catties is not worth a few days......
He had seen a Damascus knife in a shop in the West Market, and the price was 4,000 yuan. It's no problem to buy one, but if you buy ten, don't say that his flesh hurts, and people don't have it in stock!
"I'll go and ask my father about this, and I'll have to wait for news from Master Laogamoro. As for Zhong Xiang, if you want to go with you, let's talk about your old man and uncle first. Even if you pass those two levels, don't forget Sister Shen Ruo's awesomeness! ”
In just one sentence, Qu Tu Zhongxiang suddenly became like a frosted eggplant, completely out of energy. As for Gamora, when he heard the title of mage burst out of Li Xiandi's mouth for the first time, he was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly decided that this trip must be done with some results, if he can get an emperor to seal it, he will never have to worry about it in the future.
Sending Gamoro out of the house politely, Li Xian turned around and began to tell Luo Chuji and Yao Yuanzhi to be optimistic about Mikhail - this red-haired monkey likes to jump up and down the most, if he asks his father and mother for the holy decree, but this guy has any accident, then wouldn't he waste his efforts?
After arranging all this, he just took people out, but just then he went up Jingyaomen Street, he suddenly had a whim, and turned to Cheng Bohu and the four: "Since you came out, why don't you take a trip to the West Market and get a Damascus knife back?" The tribute before this has long been given to the generals by the father, and there is no convincing thing after all. ”
Everyone is a good thing, and naturally there is no objection when they hear this, but Cheng Bohu pulled Xue Dingshan forward, salivating and asking to be transported back to Uzi Steel at that time, first to meet their needs for shotguns to change guns.
"You ordered this thing before it arrived, how could you be so anxious?" Li Xian scolded with a smile and left, and galloped out not far away, he reined in the horse's head and turned around and shouted, "If you are in this mood, you might as well go to Zhongxiang and buy a share, this dividend alone is enough for you to replace all your outfits!" ”
So, Li Xian took the lead, and the first four people walked all the way and muttered and discussed, and entered the West Market at the same time. The group entered a shop with a familiar way, and immediately someone greeted them, and as soon as they recognized everyone, the man who welcomed them immediately rushed back to the shop, and in a short time invited the proprietor out. The dark-cheeked Hu merchant flattered on the one hand, lured the five people inside, and ordered people to take many treasured "non-sale" items, boasting about his goods to the sky.
"You are all regular customers, and I don't talk empty words, there are many Hu merchants who sell jewelry in the western market, but I am the only one who sells this Damascus knife! Speaking of which, you are just lucky, I happen to have three treasure knives just shipped here, all of which are of the highest quality and finest quality! ”
The guy took out the things, Li Xian took them out and inspected them one by one, the delicate patterns on the top are pleasing to the eye, but since it is a weapon, it is beautiful and exquisite, and sharp and durable is the first. So, without hesitation, they used their swords as a touchstone, and the results were greatly satisfied—though each of the five swords had three small gaps of varying shades.
"I want them all."
It is not the first time that Li Xian's bold behavior has been seen by Hu Shang, and even so he is still overjoyed - although it is profitable to do business in Chang'an West City, there are many powerful people and officials, and the daily expenses are also large, and the people in the government will often exploit it. But since the people who frequented the Yongwang Mansion, his life has been much more peaceful. So, he made a gesture with a smile on his face.
Seven thousand, three knives taken together.
So, after returning to the Hibiscus Garden in the evening, Li Xian personally went straight to the residence of the crown prince Li Hong with three Damascus knives. As soon as he entered the door, he found that he had broken into a bit of a reckless manner. Although he didn't become a light bulb this time, it was a good and warm scene of the father and son talking.
