Of course, the old man intends to cash out the land before it is lost two-thirds of it in exchange for the benefits that can be taken away and will not be encroached upon by the monsters.

And this is actually very beneficial for Luo Ming: if that land is ravaged by monsters, and then he sends troops to recapture it, according to the law, he can only get one-third of that land.

And this third is also full of devastation, not only is it difficult to generate returns and profits at first, but even has to spend money on repair and reconstruction.

Or leave it alone, it may take more than ten years to recover—if Luo Ming develops for another ten years, how big will his power swell?

The enclave owned by Monsieur Henri Dvorkuran in Vanchy was a land which was too large for knights and smaller for baronies, about eight thousand acres of arable land and nineteen thousand acres of wasteland, with four or five hundred people living on it.

The old man came here to sign an agreement with Luo Ming - he would divide half of the territory and sell it directly to Luo Ming at a low price, and the other half would also obey Luo Ming's dispatch in the short term to fight the enemy, and Luo Ming was responsible for protecting the other half, and when the monster disaster was over, it could be returned to the old man intact.

Luo Ming paid a small sum of money to get half a piece of land, while the old man only had to pay half of the land, and the other half of the land could remain intact in his hand, in addition to a small sum of money.

It does seem like a win-win, but Luo Ming is not satisfied with that simple.

"Sir, why don't we talk about an incidental business?"

As he spoke, Luo Ming sent a servant and wrote a warrant, telling him to pass it to Squadron Leader Os.

"To tell you the truth, as a martial artist, I naturally attach importance to military affairs. In this regard, we have also tried to make a lot of improvements.

But I was inexperienced after all, and many improvements failed, but a small number of improvements succeeded. ”

Luo Ming said modestly. In other words, he is just revealing his own hair, enough to make others look up to him, but not to think that he has too much potential, attracting too much jealousy and small actions.

The old man understood the meaning of his words, and gladly accepted his invitation and went out to see his soldiers.

Thirty men dressed in paper armor and armed with spears trotted in front of them in a neat procession, and then lined up, formed a team, and changed teams...... Seeing that the old man nodded again and again.

"Your training method is really interesting, and the effect is also very good, but I think it's probably too late to talk about training now, right?"

The old man turned his head and asked, "I think the armor they are wearing is quite special, could it be the new armor you invented?"

Luo Ming nodded generously: "This is the 'brown leather armor' I made, because its material is brown, so it is named brown leather armor." But it's easy to dye, and I've dyed it all the way it is now, and it looks even more powerful. ”

In the impression of ordinary people, paper should be white, but it is either rice paper made at a high price, or bleached by modern industrial means.

Due to its raw materials such as tree bark and wheat straw, the paper made of paper is yellow-brown, which is a normal phenomenon in ancient times.

With that, Luo Ming ordered several soldiers to come out of the ranks, take off a pair of paper armor and fix it to a stake, and then attack it with swords, spears, and arrows.

As a result, although it can't meet the standard of the genuine iron armor, the defense is higher than the cloth armor and leather armor under the iron armor.

"This armor has good defense, and if you want to be on par with it, ordinary leather armor has to be made extremely thick and even to the point of hindering movement. The weight of a dumpling leather armor is only about three and a half catties, which is even lighter than many normal leather armor. ”

Luo Ming said, and let the two soldiers in paper armor perform a roll, wrestling and falling to the ground and getting back up, looking as if they were wearing a thicker suit, and moved flexibly.

Although the old man's eyes were shining, he still patiently asked many more questions, and it was not until Luo Ming said that it was difficult to keep too long and that he was afraid of fire, and he stopped asking.

If there are really no shortcomings at all, then Luo Ming can just take it out and sell it himself, and he doesn't have to wait for him to come to the door to sell it.

If it is not stored for a long time, no one will buy it in peacetime - a set of iron armor with good maintenance may be passed on to grandchildren, and this thing may break down in a year or two, isn't that a waste of money?

However, there will be some sales now.

According to Luo Ming, this Zongleather armor can ensure that its defense will not be affected for at least a few months, so it is enough. This monster ravage is only a few months at best, and Zongpi Armor will definitely be able to hold out until the end of this period.

As for the fear of fire...... Could it be that those monsters can spell fire? It's a big deal to pour water on your body in advance.

Luo Ming's price is also relatively affordable, and he can even buy more than 100 sets in one go, and even the militia can get it, which greatly reduces the pressure on the defense.

Spending some money to ensure safety is not a loss at all.

However, the old man still kept an eye on it: "Excuse me, how many sets of this kind of dumpling leather armor can be produced every month?"

Luo Ming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Are you going to take it out and sell it?" Take advantage of this opportunity, maybe you can really make a profit."

It's just that my output here is also limited, mainly because the raw materials are more troublesome to prepare: I can produce more than a dozen sets every month. I have 120 in stock here, and I've been saving up for about half a year. ”

In the end, the old man did not take a penny from Luo Ming, but found a porter and returned with a full hundred and twenty sets of zongpi armor, and half of the enclave, four thousand acres of cultivated land and nine thousand five hundred acres of wasteland, was also surnamed Luo from today on.

Don't look at this old man, it seems that he has suffered a little, but in fact, if he takes these 120 sets of paper armor and goes back to arm his subordinates, not only will it not be a big problem to defend, but he may even solve the problems in his own territory in advance and then send troops to "help" other families "solve problems", and by the way, take a third of the land or collect protection money.

The benefits lost in Luo Ming can be recovered exponentially from other places, which is a sure thing.

Of course, Luo Ming successfully slaughtered this knife, and his heart was also happy, if it was peacetime, these paper armors would definitely not be able to sell even a quarter of the price.

It looks like one hundred and twenty pairs of armor is quite powerful, but it will break down after a year, unless Luo Ming learns a lot, does not tell customers about the expiration date, and cheats money and runs, otherwise no one will buy it at such a high price.
