Chapter 170: Windfall Profits from Weapons

"General, please forgive your sins! General Wanwang Mo is angry with the country! Ask the general for mercy! Wang Jian had no choice, so he hurriedly knelt down on his knees, and the knock was as loud as a drumstick hitting a war drum. In just a moment, Wang Jian's forehead was already bleeding.

"I don't like people threatening me! Should I classify your current behavior as a threat? Li Cunhuan frowned, looked down at Wang Jian coldly, and his solemn tone seemed to freeze the temperature in the hall.

Wang Jian's body froze, frozen in the hall, and he didn't know what to do for a while!

Li Cunhuan saw that the atmosphere he had created was enough, and said his purpose. "Although I will not send troops to help the Bow Descendants, I will allow the Bow Descendants to trade with the states and counties I guard. These include some special items! For example......"

Li Cunhuan pointed to the armor on a soldier of the Iron Eagle Capital and asked, "How?" ”

Wang Jian wiped the blood sticking to his eyelids, and looked at the Iron Eagle Soldier who raised his head and stood tall, he had an iron-inlaid armor on his body, on his chest were two diamond-shaped thin iron plates, and the position of his abdomen was a piece of scale armor, but it was not tied with iron wire, but the scale armor was reinforced on the leather with a round special nail nail, and the skirt armor made of leather was underneath. The leg is a polished and reflective iron legging.

"This? Is this the Bright Light Armor? Wang Jian asked with some confusion.

There are many types of Mingguang armor, but he has one characteristic, that is, there are one or two dazzling heart guards on his chest. The Mingguang armor used by ordinary cavalry is generally based on a piece of leather armor, with two heart guards on the chest. The more advanced ones are mainly composed of scales and heart goggles. Similar to the nondescript Mingguang armor of Tie Yingdu, Wang Jian had never heard of it before, whether it was in books or in what he had seen and heard.

"This is a new type of Mingguang armor that Lu Long has just developed, and it has not yet started mass production, and the advantage of this armor is that one armor is like two armors." Li Cunhuan proudly introduced.

Wang Jian nodded in agreement, with leather as the base, this is already equivalent to a piece of leather armor, with scales and heart guards on the outside, aren't these two pieces of armor?

"The most important feature of this Mingguang armor is its simplicity, he does not use special silk threads to weave the scales into a piece of armor, but reads the scales nailed to the leather through the nails. So it doesn't take too much trouble to weave the scales into a piece of armor. All he needed was a craftsman to nail the scales with a machine. Li Cunhuan still didn't tell Wang Jian, such a Mingguang armor, a craftsman plus a special machine, as long as the materials are sufficient, can produce three sets a day. Compared to the plate armor that can be crafted in ten days and half a month, it is faster.

"And the weight of this Mingguang armor is only ten catties!" Converted into a modern weight, it is only twelve catties, this weight was not light at the time, but it is definitely worth the money, you must know that such a set of Mingguang armor is equivalent to two sets of armor.

"At what price is the Great General going to sell this Bright Light Armor?" Wang Jian quickly calmed down, no matter how good the defense of this armor is, it has to be at the right price, otherwise Wang Jian will not choose to buy it.

"Barter!" Li Cunhuan said.

"I don't know what the general has taken a fancy to my Goguryeo?" Wang Jian asked.

Li Cunhuan pondered for a moment and said, "Sea ship! Medicine! And of course, preferably with food! ”

Hearing this, Wang Jian nodded vigorously and said, "There is no problem with the sea boat!" What kind of sea ship does the General need? There is no problem with this herb! However, food is now in short supply not only here of the Great General, but also here of ours, and grain is often smuggled from the Bohai Kingdom. ”

"Smuggling?" Li Cunhuan asked rhetorically with some confusion.

"Uh, yes. His Majesty the King fought a battle with the Bohai Kingdom last year and captured several cities, and now the Bohai Kingdom is in hostile relations with us! Wang Jian said with a wry smile.

Li Cunhuan's eyes flashed with a fine light, nodded noncommittally, and said: "I can sell you five hundred sets of Mingguang armor, and I want three 10,000 sea ships!" There are also various herbs, I don't know about this, and I will find someone to count them when the time comes, and then give you the amount and type I need. ”

"Okay!" Wang Jian readily agreed.

In the next three days, Li Cunhuan discussed the details with Wang Jian. In addition to the above conditions, Li Cunhuan opened up five regions of Goguryeo to trade with Goguryeo: Dizhou, Cangzhou, Lutai (now Tianjin), Pingzhou (now Qinhuangdao), and Liaodongcheng. And Li Cunhuan agreed to sell a certain amount of weapons to Goguryeo.

However, these weapons are just some weapons that have been eliminated and repaired. Even if it was new, there was no way for Li Cunhuan to sell top-notch weapons to the Bow Descendants.

However, Li Cunhuan soon tasted the sweetness of selling weapons, and he had to sigh that the rise of the Yankees in World War I and World War II really made sense, and selling weapons in the era of cold weapons alone was enough to make huge profits, not to mention the high-tech weapons at that time!

A new type of Mingguang armor made from inferior iron ore in Ma'anshan costs six hundred yuan. Without transportation, it was sold from Liaodong City to Goguryeo merchants, and a set of such armor was sold for six yuan, and it was not allowed to bargain. Moreover, according to Goguryeo merchants, such armor can be sold for eight yuan in Pyongyang, and the profit is almost doubled, which can be said to make Li Cunhuan's eyes burst out of countless golden copper coins.

If it is explained that the light armor is only needed by high-level soldiers, and the supply is not large, then the obstacle knife allows Li Cunhuan to see the future prospects. The obstacle knife is a kind of Tang knife, which is a kind of arc-shaped short knife, the obstacle knife is generally two feet long, that is, about sixty-six centimeters, and the blade is about fifty centimeters long. It is the predecessor of the rib difference.

However, the North Korean region is mountainous and forested, and it is obviously not appropriate to use a new Tang knife, which is generally nearly one meter. And the barrier knife is obviously more adapted to combat in this environment. At the same time, the sharp barrier can ignore the presence of most non-metallic armor. The most important thing is that he only has half the price of a Tang knife, and he has always paid a little more. That is, it is equivalent to the money that a farmer earns from selling three stones of grain. This allows the vast majority of people to be able to buy it.

But they obviously didn't know that the cost of a barrier knife was only 500 yuan, not to mention that what Li Cunhuan sold was made of some inferior steel, which was one or two percent worse than ordinary barrier knives. In terms of cost, it is even as low as 400 Wen, and selling Li Cunhuan in Lulong alone can earn 150% of the profit.
