Chapter 113: The Arsenal of Staffs

Zhao Yu hesitated for a long time, sighed, and did not speak.

Chong Shiheng couldn't help but ask, "Lord Wang, ...... you?"

Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "This matter is not only about the glory and wealth of this king. If these grains are intercepted halfway, how many people will die of the 1.8 million victims on Jingdong East Road? ”

Seed Shiheng is silent.

Although he decided to train his troops in battle, Zhao Yu still felt that he had made some compensation, first of all, armor. Wearing armor to fight on the battlefield, some statistics show that in the ancient cold weapon war, the mortality rate will be reduced by seventy!

Zhao Yu came to the armor staff library in Xicheng, although it is not the only armor staff warehouse in Bianliang City, it is the largest armor staff warehouse, and I heard that the quality of the weapons produced here is quite good.

Zhou Huaizheng, the supervisor of the Jiazhu Library, learned that Zhao Yu had come to visit in person, and he knew that big business was coming! Who in Bianliang City doesn't know that the king of Changsha is a big financier. Most of the soju sold in the world is produced by the king of Changsha. Outside the city, there is also a Tokyo Stadium and a large granary with no less than 3,000 spectators for each game. I don't know how much money I made.

Zhou Huaizheng tidied up his official robe and immediately greeted him with a smirk.

"Oops! The lower official has visited the prince, why did you come in person, prince? There is a note from all the ministers, this weapon is easy to say! Zhou Huaizheng said with a haha.

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Okay, this matter doesn't need to be pierced by this king, you know!" ”

"That's it!" Seeing that Zhao Yu broke the matter, Zhou Huaizheng stopped pretending. "I don't know what you want, Lord Wang?"

"Those rags don't need to be given to this king, give them well, how much do you say they cost?" Zhao Yu asked straight to the point.

It has not been a year or two since Huaizheng was the capital prisoner this week, and there are many people who have seen it, Zhao Yu is straight to the point, and he is not surprised or embarrassed. Zhou Huaizheng said very quickly: "This is easy to say, Lord Wang, you are the first time to come, so naturally you have to give some discounts, 10,000 yuan is packed!" ”

Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this, looked at Zhou Huaizheng and said, "Do you think that this king has three words engraved on his forehead?" ”

Zhou Huaizheng couldn't help but panic, but he had his own reasons. shouted aggrievedly: "Lord Wang, you don't know anything, don't say anything else, just one hundred sets of infantry armor, one set of armor will cost thirty-eight yuan, and one hundred sets will be three thousand eight hundred." Iron-clad armor is cheaper, and it costs twenty-four yuan! ”

Zhao Yu sneered: "Well, when this king sends troops, please ask the official family to see off this king!" Let the officials see what the king's soldiers are wearing and set off! The ministers can't help it, and they are all in prison...... Hum! ”

Zhou Huaizheng felt sweaty when he arrived, and said with a wry smile: "Five thousand, the prince can't be less." This money is not from the lower officials, and it is indispensable to dot up and down! ”

Zhao Yu also knew that he couldn't force Zhou Huaizheng too hard, after all, he also relied on him. He nodded and said, "Okay." In addition to that, the king wants some bows! ”

"This ...... The imperial court is tightly controlled, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to report too much loss! Zhou Huaizheng said embarrassedly.

Zhao Yu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Do you really know anything about this matter?" Besides, there won't be too many kings, after all, there are only 2,000 people. In terms of price, it will be according to the price of fifty percent, and this king can't lose you! ”

Zhou Huaizheng said with a sad face: "Lord Wang! You can't afford to lose an official here? You're going to jump off the building! Eighty percent, it can't be less! ”

"A fixed price, sixty percent, if you are willing, you will be willing, and you will not want this king to go to Dongcheng!" Zhao Yu said categorically.

Zhou Huaizheng hesitated for a while, and said helplessly and depressedly: "Sixty percent...... Sixty is sixty percent! Not too much, though. ”

"How much can you give to this king?" Zhao Yu asked.

Zhou Huaizheng didn't answer immediately, he asked someone to take an account book, looked at it for a while and said: "A few days ago, Tongzhou sent a batch of bows and crossbows, and you can give you up to 500 bows and 300 crossbows!" There is no limit to arrows, as long as you can afford it, you can buy it. This thing can be said to be sold to the villagers, and this matter is easy to deal with! ”

Zhao Yu asked, "What is the price of the bow and crossbow in the same state?" ”

Zhou Huaizheng said: "The bow and crossbow in the same state are cheaper, and a crossbow is always 500 Wen, and 60% is 900 Wen. A crossbow arrow is thirty-two Wen, and this cannot be reduced. A bow is 800 wen, 60% is 480 wen, and an arrow is 45 wen, which still cannot be reduced, and it has to be at the normal price. ”

Zhao Yu knew that the reason why the arrow could not be reduced was because it was not worried that it could not be sold. Bows and crossbows are different, they are not available to non-armies, and unless there is a war, the damage is very low on weekdays, and the less they are sold, the price is naturally lower.

Nodding his head, Zhao Yu said: "Give this king 300 crossbows, with 10,000 crossbows!" Don't have too many bows, just 200 and 5,000 arrows! By the way, there is more armor than that? ”

Zhou Huaizheng was taken aback and said: "Lord Wang, this thing is not easy to get, unless you have the approval of the minister, otherwise it is not easy to get out of office!" ”

The role of armor is very large on the battlefield, as mentioned above. Because of this, all dynasties were very jealous of the private collection of armor, and the Ming Dynasty even stipulated that the private collection of two sets of armor was equivalent to rebellion. Zhou Huaizheng couldn't help but be frightened by this.

"Alright, don't pretend about this! Well...... This king buys it at full price, and at the same time gives you another 500 yuan. You just need to have people buy the materials and let these craftsmen do it afterwards. Anyway, the full price includes the craftsman's wages. The armor was patched up, does anyone still know? Zhao Yu said with a smile.

Zhou Huaizheng's heart was moved, hesitated, and asked, "Then how much do you want?" ”

"Is there a step amen?" For the work known as the pinnacle of hoplites in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yu naturally couldn't miss it.

"That depends on the kind of step armor." Zhou Huaizheng said.

Zhao Yu asked with some surprise: "There are still types of people in this step?" ”

Zhou Huaizheng nodded as a matter of course and said: "This is natural, the infantry armor is divided into: pikemen, archers, crossbowmen, and knife and axe hands. Each weight is different, among which the pikemen step armor is the heaviest, ranging from fifty catties to fifty-four catties and twelve taels depending on the height of the stature. The second is the knife and axe hand, and the crossbowman's foot armor is about thirty-four pounds lightest! ”

(Note: The above catties are all Song system, take one Song Jin = 640 grams.) ）

Zhao Yu scratched his head and said, "You write down the price, and this king will see how many sets you want!" ”

Zhou Huaizheng nodded and said, "It's okay, do you want to write all the other armors?" ”

Zhao Yu naturally asked for it, although the defense of the step armor is amazing, but just look at his weight, you can know that with this thing, you don't want to chase the enemy.
