Chapter 100: The Weapon Merchant [Ask for All!] 】
Lan Li had long wanted a weapon.
Pity.
In his case, ordinary weapons were of no use at all.
More than 30 pounds of hammer smashed on himself, and he didn't bring a red touch.
The axe used by a normal person to cut a tree can't cut a red mark on him.
In this case, ordinary weapons are of little use.
Besides, Lan Li wouldn't have used any weapons.....
But the Divine Soldier is different!
Don't say anything else, just say the names of the bunch of materials that Dugufeng broke out, it's awesome, okay.
The divine sword forged from these materials, even if it is directly carried and chopped, is more stylish?
In line with his identity as a big blue prince!
accepted Dugufeng's suggestion.
Lan Li went directly to the Lan family's forging workshop with her.
Really.
After seeing Lan Li and Dugu Feng, a large group of masters instantly boiled!
"Owner, forging divine weapons is a big deal!"
"It's like smelting the West Pole Pure Gold, I heard my master say that you have to use a three-color flame to melt it for forty-nine days in turn to change the nature of its material....."
"Where are the dragon's heartstrings? Grand Master Dugu, you have hidden the dragon heartstrings there, take them out and let us take a look. ”
"Let me tell you, my ancestor has practiced the divine sword in the furnace, have you heard of the name of the Qinghong sword? That's what my ancestors smashed with a hammer! ”
"I'll have to lead this time!"
"No, I've got to come!"
"Don't shout, the owner hasn't spoken yet!"
"That's it, the owner didn't speak, but you guys got up first!"
In the Lan family's forging workshop, there are a total of thirteen top masters and sixteen first-class masters who are noisy.
These are people who have the ability.
As for the parts in the large firecrackers in the green clothes' hands, they were all smashed out by someone with a hammer.
It may be an exaggeration to say that there are missiles rubbing with bare hands.
But as long as they are given the right materials and drawings, these masters can really hammer out a tank model little by little.....
Lan Li has no doubt about this.
These masters in the Lan family's workshop are all treasures in the next generation.
Although Lan Li didn't know how they decided to distinguish between the top and the first.
But in his eyes, each of these hammer-wielding guys is not much worse than the eighth-level workers of later generations.
After all, not everyone can use a hammer and sandpaper to make a high-precision gun barrel.....
This thing is really technical!
In the Lanjia Dongting Villa, the twelve large-caliber steel artillery.
It's all polished by these bigwigs little by little.
In terms of accuracy, it is even more impressive than the creations in the military workshop of later generations!
Not to mention the wooden cannons that have been classified as secondary military supplies.
Those things, the apprentices taught by these masters, have all been mass-produced.
Compared to the Lan family's forging factory located in a corner of Xiangyang City, these living masters are the most precious things in this factory.
Each of them, is a removable money printing machine.....
Being stared at by a group of movable money printing machines, Lan Li was not uncomfortable.
Smiling at the big guy, Lan Li said indifferently:
"Masters, don't be busy getting excited, forging the divine sword is a big deal, and the planning and preparation that should be there, the big guys will discuss it first.
What level of furnace, what level of hydraulic press, what level of quenching pool is needed, how long does it take, and how successful is it?
After everyone has discussed these and made a charter, we will talk about who is in charge of the forging, and what kind of thinking should be used to structure the forging gods....."
All right.
What Lan Li said, he basically only understood a rough idea.
For the Lan Family Workshop, the most luxurious construction factory in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was able to take shape.
The contribution made by Lanli is just to provide some ideas for these masters.
This is true for hydraulic presses.
The same is true for the temperature of the stove.
Not to mention quenching pools and the like!
After all, the predecessors wanted to forge divine weapons, and they especially thought about martyrdom.
Without Lan Li, who would have thought that a splash of urine and a little pig blood would solve it?
Whenever I think of this, Lan Li's superiority as a science and engineering dog will burst out.
He's in charge of coming up with ideas.
Then these masters, with their years of accumulated experience, make these things!
Not to mention that Lan Li had learned those alloy secret recipes, gunpowder secret recipes, and the appearance and composition principles of various weapons he had seen in his previous life......
Can you do it with a liberal arts monk?
In this regard, Lan Li can only say.
Learning mathematics, physics and chemistry well is really a very beneficial thing for the traverser!
If you are a liberal arts monk.
After a trip, in addition to copying a few sour poems, you probably can only pretend to be a god stick to fool people, right?
As for rebellion or something.....
Don't talk about whether you can succeed by relying on the things taught in the book.
Just say that being an emperor is a tiring thing, do you know?
Busy day by day as a dog.
also has to intrigue with the ministers under him.
The concubines in the harem are either trying to steal your seeds, or wondering when you will die so that they can put their son on the throne.
I might be able to bring you a glass of poisoned wine at any time.
I was scared and didn't say anything.
Always be on the lookout for others trying to kill you.
When your son grows up, he will be the prince day by day, but you, the father, still hold on to the power.
In your son's heart, will you curse you to die early?
Even if the sons you give birth to are all of good character, or they are all pure fools.
But if you are the person next to him, you won't get around him and kill you?
What happens after that?
Were you killed by your son, or did you kill your son with your own hands?
If you give birth to a lot.
Are you planning to give birth to one and kill the other.....
My son is dead, what should I do with my mother?
After sleeping in the same bed for so many years, you killed someone's son, and then they can still serve you wholeheartedly?
Feed you poisoned wine, do you drink it?
The one who feeds you poisoned wine, do you kill or not?
In the end, he was left alone.
Even if you still sit on that throne without growing old or dying.
At a glance, there is no one around to confide in.
And what's the fun?
Royal affairs, Mo's feelings.
is tired like Zhao Yi every day, and the final result may not be what he likes.
This is inconsistent with Lan Li's concept of living a happy life at home.
In other words.
Being an emperor can't make him happy.
And if he dares to rebel.
It is estimated that it will not take a few days to be slapped to death by some great masters who care about the Southern Song Dynasty.......
......
......
The mind is a bit off-track.
From forging the sword, he deviated to the great cause of rebellion.
OK.
These thoughts were all circling in Lan Li's mind, not delaying the debate between those masters.
How hard is it to build an Excalibur?
Beside Lan Li, Dugu Feng, the great master of swordsmanship, was dizzy when he listened.
I also had to deal with the questions raised by these craftsmen one by one.
For example, what kind of arc should the hilt of the sword.
How long the sword should be.
Add a few blood slots, and how high the arc of the sword body is.
How high is it necessary to withstand the impact of true qi.
How much of the true qi of the dragon's heartstrings has been transmitted.....
Dugu Feng, who listened to it, hated to hack all these craftsmen in front of him to death with a sword!
But it can't be helped.
She had to work hard to think about the data and then tell the big people in front of her what she thought.
Who let this be forging a sword for her?
It's just a sword's initial data.
These masters discussed from morning to dusk.
During this period, these people didn't even eat, and they just cared about fiddling with all kinds of materials taken out from Dugufeng.
The West Pole is really gold, and the head is so big.
The dragon's heartstring, the golden bloodshot as thick as the blood vessels of a normal person's arm, is estimated to be seventy or eighty meters long.
Phoenix Blood ..... A bottle of special gourd.
When this thing was opened, Lan Li was more than thirty meters away, and he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.
It felt like standing in a crater!
Hot.
Brutal.
Just said that when he saw it in a hurry, Lan Li felt that his mind was affected.
Becomes irritable and irritable.
I don't know where Dugufeng got it!
These are all good things.
But what made Lan Li most greedy was the Tianshan warm jade as thick as an adult's arm!
The color is pure white, with a warm touch, and a tranquil fragrance that emanates from the jade.
Take it from the hands of the master craftsman.
After playing carefully, a flash of surprise flashed in Lan Li's eyes.
The grade of Tianshan Warm Jade is golden.
Lan Li was not surprised by this.
He had already had a plan in mind about the fact that the material was golden.
After all, whether it is the phoenix blood or the dragon heartstring before, it is also a golden quality thing.
But this piece of warm jade .....
How to say that?
As a golden quality, its effect is very simple.
Only contemplation, this dry attribute.
As long as you concentrate on one attribute, you will reach the golden quality.
How rebellious is this?
Lan Li has already thought about it.
When making the hilt of the sword, be sure to take it out and keep the jade heart.
In retrospect, this jade heart can be used to carve into several small pieces of jewelry.
I usually carry it with me.
It is estimated that the demons in his heart, the demons or something, have been far away from him since then.
As for whether Lan Li is greedy for these materials?
Joke!
These are leftovers that you get after forging your sword!
If you ask the cook to carve a phoenix out of radish for you, will you still go to the cook and ask for those radish skins?
Someone completely ignores the tremendous value in it.
Greed is called a peace of mind.
Well.
This is the ability to eat!
The forging plan has not yet been studied, and the materials that Dugu Feng brought have already been calculated by Lan Li.
"It's not easy....."
The storefront in front of the forge workshop.
Lan Li put down the Tianshan Warm Jade in his hand, looked at the scene of people coming and going on the street, and couldn't help but sigh.
Dugu Feng is still drinking those masters in the backyard at this time to play brainstorming.
Lan Li couldn't stand it, so he ran out first.
At this time, he was accompanied by Green Yi and two Xiao Si.
To be precise, these two Xiao Si are in charge of the sales of weapons stores.
can also be regarded as half of the Lan family.
After seeing Lan Li, the owner, come to the store, the mood at work has risen by three points.....
Nothing to do.
From morning to night in a day, the Lan family's weapons shop sold a total of nine orders.
One of the orders was the Xiangyang City Guards, who had been set a long time ago, and came to pull things.
In other words, there are more than 300 square meters of façade on one floor, and only eight things are sold in a day.
Five knives, two swords.
And one came to buy a saddle......
In addition to the military's accidents, the sales in one day were less than 100 taels.....
"If you only rely on retail to eat, you will all starve to death!"
Looking at the two Xiao Si in front of him, who had already oiled the sword on the weapon rack for the fourth time, Lan Li rolled his eyes and complained.
Listen to the words of the Lady of the Heavens.
The two Xiao Si shook their bodies, turned their heads and replied with a mournful expression:
"The owner, it's not that the small ones don't work hard, it's really the weapon of our Lan family, and the average price is fifty percent higher than that sold by the rest of the suppliers on the market.....
The price difference is too big for anyone to buy....."
"They don't buy it, you won't think of a way?"
"It's... Childe, the little ones are stupid... I hope Childe will give me an idea....."
"Why are the weapons made by our Lan family so expensive?"
"Because... Because.... Because our family is not short of this money? ”
In the first half of saying this, Xiao Si was still a little bumpy, but after saying this, he raised his neck, looking proud and honorable.
When Lan Li heard this, he turned over another silver.
Well, the kid was right.
Unlike other weapons stores, the Lan family's shops were supplied directly to the Southern Song military.
Every quarter, a large order for the maintenance of weapons, even if it is discounted, the net profit is 20,000 taels of snowflake silver.....
Not to mention the damage to weapons and new additions every year!
To know.
Just two years ago, the defenders of the Yangtze River in the Southern Song Dynasty had a figure of 600,000.
Among them, there are more than 150,000 elites.
And thirty percent of these elite legions are equipped with tools forged by the Lan family.
Weapons, bows and arrows, armor, inner armor, horse vehicles, .....
Note!
And that's just the defenders of the Yangtze River!
In addition to these quarterly orders, maintenance.
There are also major royal mansions, nobles, families, and wealthy merchants in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The orders they place every year in the Lan family are also a huge amount that is not much less than that of the military!
And what is sold to them, there is no need to discount.....
It can be said that every year, the Lan family only relies on these weapons orders, which is enough to eat a mouthful of oil.
In addition to some small profits such as retail.
Let's be honest.
Not to mention Lan Li, even the guys in the store don't pay much attention to it.
If a sword is sold, what if it can earn eight taels of silver?
The Lan family's weapons, is there a shortage of buyers?
Not to mention the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Jin, Mongolia, Western Xia, Western Liao, Dali, Tubo.....
There is one that counts as one.
As long as the Lan family is willing to sell, are there any countries that are unwilling to buy?
To borrow a phrase from Zhao Yi.
If it weren't for the fact that the Lan family's things were too expensive, the annual maintenance cost would also be a huge military expense.
He had already dressed up the Song Army as a whole!
When he said this, Zhao Yi, who was the emperor, had a very peculiar expression on his face.
Well.
At the beginning, the Southern Song Dynasty paid about 300,000 taels of tribute to the Jin State every year.
But the annual cost of 'purchasing weapons' and 'weapon maintenance' from the Lan family is about 65 to 800,000 taels......
After knowing this data.
It's no wonder that those officials who have always run to Xiangyang have come to the blue salute one by one....
