"Lao Cui, I'm ......"

"What are you?"

"I'm a general!"

"I know, but I'm not under your control, even if you're a general, you can't let me give you my weapon!"

"You ......"

Li Yuanji was angry, and he didn't say that he was a miscellaneous general if he knew it.

"Okay, Lao Cui, don't tease General Li San!" Or Lao Du is a real person.

I took out a few steel bars from behind me and threw them to Li Yuanji: "If you want to, grind them yourself!" ”

This is what Tang Ping explained in advance, if a general comes to the house, he can give them two and let them inspect the goods.

Originally, these things had to be handed over to Datang.

Although he is now a knight and has a position, he has never seen the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, he has never seen his own officials, so it can be said that he is quite childish as an official.

So he could only send these things through the generals he knew.

No, it can't be given away in vain, after all, for the sake of sustainable development, he still has to make money from Datang, otherwise he can't afford to support the entire Datang with his own savings.

I can't let myself lose the worst of the worst.

Yesterday, he asked Cheng Chumo and a few people to bring the steel bars back, just thinking that their fathers were all human spirits, and most of them were in the army, so they would naturally come to talk about this matter with him.

Unexpectedly, a few melons were hidden when they went home, but Li Yuanji accidentally discovered this secret.

Li Yuanji took a few steel bars and swallowed his saliva, what is the quality of this thing, you can know it as soon as you weigh it.

And just by looking at the luster, you can know that it must be the same as Lao Cui's hands.

Now he was not in a hurry to find Tang Ping, a dignified prince, he directly rolled up his sleeves, and began to sharpen his knife with Lao Cui at the gate of Tang Ping Courtyard.

A few guards couldn't come up to help.

When Tang Ping got up and saw this scene, he was not surprised at all, men, they all understand!

When they were children, they used the blades of a small hacksaw to sharpen their knives and swords!

This kind of thing must have been made by yourself to make it more fragrant.

"General Li San is here?" Tang Ping asked as he brushed his teeth.

When I first came here, brushing my teeth outside was almost thought to be foaming at the mouth.

"Hey, you kid, where did you get all that good steel?" Li Yuanji wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up and asked.

"Up there!" Tang Ping is used to flickering now, so he comes casually.

The key is that they really believe it, and when Tang Ping said this, Li Yuanji didn't feel strange.

"How? This steel! ”

"No words!" Just now, Li Yuanji had already seen Lao Cui and Lao Du try the knife next to him, and the sharpness and leverage were not good for him, so he sharpened it even harder.

"I still have quite a few here, can you help me sell them to them?"

"Above?" Li Yuanji was stunned at first, didn't you get it from above?

After thinking about it again, I understood, Tang Ping said that the top is his own top, he thinks he is the general of the Tang Dynasty, and his top is not the Tang Dynasty Military Department or the imperial court?

"Yes, that's great!" What else can this say, how could Datang not want such a good steel?

These things can be regarded as contraband in Datang, but if you want to say that they are sold to the Datang government, then they are definitely not prohibited.

Tang Ping didn't expect Li Yuanji to agree in one bite, and thought about it, although he said that he was a miscellaneous general, but after all, his surname was Li, and he wanted to come to Li Shimin to be related to him, so it was normal to have a way.

Everyone was already familiar with each other, and this kind of good deed could add some credit to him.

"How much do you think I can sell for this?" Tang Ping asked the question he was most concerned about, although he was not greedy for money, he was also a salty fish.

But why not make the money that should be earned? And they all said, if you can't make money, how can you buy things in modern times to develop Datang?

If Datang doesn't develop quickly, when will it be able to return to modern times?

So all this is a closed loop, he has to keep exchanging good things to Datang for money, and then go back to modern times to buy good things, so a virtuous circle is the right way.

"If you sell it...... How much do you want to sell? "In the era of big data, Li Yuanji is a price-insensitive user.

But he thought that as long as Tang Ping dared to make a price, he would dare to use this price to talk to his second brother, anyway, it was his nephew, as long as it was not too much, that is, the fertilizer water would not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Tang Ping pondered for a moment and stretched out 4 fingers: "I have almost 10,000 here, just this number, what do you think?" ”

Li Yuanji also breathed a sigh of relief, although he was not sensitive to price, but he also knew that such a good steel was definitely not cheap, Tang Ping only charged 4 yuan, which was really the price for his family.

In history, the Tang Dynasty's tax revenue in the Zhenguan period was about 35 million a year, and although the Tang Dynasty in this period was not as good as the Zhenguan in that prosperous era, there were still 10 million taxes a year.

Li Yuanji wanted to buy 10,000 sharp blades with 40,000 yuan, and it was absolutely cost-effective to equip a sharp knife army.

In this era of cold weapons, the role of charging into battle is quite large, which is why cavalry is always the most expensive.

As long as you have a weapon that is sharp enough to break through the enemy line as quickly as possible, you can instantly occupy the advantage of a battle.

Of course, such a large sum of money is not something that he, King Zhao, can call the shots.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try to help you tell the above, Hou Junji, who wants to come to the 40,000 Guan Army, is still willing to come out." ”

"40,000, what 40,000?" Tang Ping was stunned, 4 texts, 10,000 texts for 40,000 texts, that is, 40 pieces.

If you trade it in gold, 10 taels of gold is 1 tael of gold, and 40 taels of gold is 40 taels of gold.

In the Tang Dynasty, one tael was 40 grams, and 40 taels of gold was 1,600 grams, and now the gold price is more than 500 grams, which is 800,000 according to 500.

He bought a total of more than 100,000 steel bars this time, almost 10,000 pieces, on average, more than 10 yuan a piece, and selling it to Datang is equivalent to 80 yuan a piece.

If you make 800,000 yuan, you still have a profit of 600,000 yuan.

He didn't think of the significance of such steel in this era, which is why he was so generous, and he gave one by one of Cheng Chumo.

If everyone knew that this thing was only worth 4 wen in Tang Ping's heart, Pei Min, the old man, would not have to change his way to blackmail him.

However, Li Yuanji still thought about it, he looked at Tang Ping with a shocked face, and thought that he had misunderstood, so he frowned and said: "Tang Ping, it stands to reason that if it is a good sword, 40 times a sword, it is really not expensive!" ”

After all, he had a good knife at home, which he bought for hundreds of dollars.

"But there are so many of them, it may be a little troublesome to ask the military department to take so much money at once."
