Ah Shunluo's eyes lit up instantly, selling iron?! Although it is not a direct sale of weapons and equipment, but they can build it by themselves when they sell iron, and soon Ah Shunluo will probably understand in his heart that it should be that Datang is not allowed to sell weapons and armor to the outside world, but if it is iron, it doesn't matter if it is sold as His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

"I don't know...... How much does it cost? Ah Shunluo hesitated for a moment before asking.

"A pound of iron and a tael of silver." Li Ke directly gave the price, because Tianzhu has always traded with the Central Plains, so they have an idea of how much a catty is.

"I have a standard unit of measurement here, and most of the Datang caravans will use this weights and measures in the future." Li Ke added that he was ready to start unifying weights and measures.

In Li Ke's warehouse, there is a complete set of weights and measures standard weights, ranging from one gram to one kilogram. And they are all made of corrosion-resistant and other materials, which gives Li Ke the basis for promoting weights and measures, and such as length units such as millimeters, centimeters, decimeters, meters and other length units, the materials in Li Ke's warehouse are made of several sets of zero expansion coefficient materials in the natural temperature range.

It seems to be a monocrystalline glass or something, Li Ke doesn't understand, but in the normal natural temperature, it is basically a zero-expansion material, and it is naturally the most accurate.

The volume unit is also made of this monocrystalline silicon, in fact, the volume unit can be converted to the length unit, so it doesn't matter whether there is one or not.

And these weights and measures gave Li Ke the conditions for promotion, and the reason why there was no reform within Datang for the time being is because education has not yet been popularized, with the completion of school construction, the first batch of schools began to build, Li Ke is ready to popularize weights and measures.

According to this set of units, a batch of standard weights and measures were built, sent to various places in Datang to serve as standard units, and then Li Ke's own industry was used as a benchmark to take the lead in reform.

When you're in a seller's market and you're in an overwhelming position, it's natural that there are people who will adapt to you.

For example, now, Li Ke said how much a pound of iron is, Tianzhu has to calculate according to how much a pound of iron is, and one tael has naturally become a standard 50 grams.

Ah Shunluo said that he wanted to take a look, and Li Ke naturally asked him to show him a set of scales made of standard stainless steel.

Ah Shunluo weighed the weight of 500 grams, then took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, this price is ......."

"I didn't overcharge you, a pound of iron in Datang costs more than 300 Wen, although I overcharged you about three times the price, but how far is Datang from here?" Li Ke waved his hand and directly picked out the price.

"You can settle with grain and silver, 3,000 catties of grain can be exchanged for a catty of iron, and a tael of silver, I only accept silver, not gold."

Of course, Li Ke didn't tell him that the one or two in his mouth was more than the one or two in Datang. In modern times, one tael is 50 grams, and one or two Datang is about 37 grams.

Ah Shunluo was stunned for a moment, don't most people like gold? How is it that there is only one that is silver? But it's a good thing to ask for silver, so he naturally agreed. He could accept this price, the Jieri Dynasty inherited most of the wealth of the Tianzhu dynasties, after all, the Ganges River valley has always been the richest and most populous place on this continent.

"I wonder how much we can buy?" Ah Shunluo asked tentatively.

"I will buy as much as you want, and we can deliver it in a month and a half at most." Li Ke said with a calm face.

The joy on Ah Shunluo's face could not be concealed, the iron-making technology of the Ring Sun Dynasty was average, and if it was used in a large-scale war, it would definitely not be enough. Although they had the well-known Damascus iron-making technology, which was later called Uzi steel by later European scholars.

But what to say about the Damascus knife, Li Ke has heard it for a long time, in fact, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, he has come into contact with this kind of divine sword that was rumored in later generations, and it was called "iron iron" in the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, it was "Bintetsu", which means iron utensils as gifts from guests.

Iron is indeed quite famous in history, but Li Ke's interest in it is ...... Actually, that's it.

The Damascus knife is a special and excellent weapon with a pattern, called the Damascus knife because it was sold in Damascus, and it was lost around the 17th century, and European scholars say that it was lost because the iron ore "Uzi steel", a kind of iron ore that made it, was mined, but there is no historical evidence.

came to history and integrated into history, Li Ke knew better that history can be "faked", and he, Li Ke, is doing this now.

Of course, the Damascus knife is a kind of alloy steel, this is certain, as for the performance of those historical events that are said to be miraculous, Li Ke does not believe it. If that thing hadn't been exaggerated, Li Ke would have twisted his head off.

According to its legendary properties, it can be said to be better than all modern special alloy steels, is it possible? At least this thing is not out of stock in modern times, there are a lot of stocks in various museums, if it really performs far more than all modern special alloy steels, do you think those stocks will not be studied?

It has long been classified as a confidential study by various national governments, and how can it be that some companies specializing in making cold weapons are constantly advocating it.

It is too easy to falsify modern information in later generations, most people only get information from search engines, and search engines use crawler technology to intercept information from various website pages, and it is very simple to be searched by search engines, make a few simple websites, and then be reprinted by various forums through technical means, and then search through search engines to find a large number of people who are real.

Of course, in this era, it is already very strong to be able to forge alloy steel, but this kind of thing can never be called a strategic weapon because it cannot be manufactured in large quantities.

Otherwise, Ah Shunluo would not have come to Li Ke to ask if he could buy ironware.

The Jieri Dynasty had enough craftsmen, but the output of ironmaking was not enough, and the output was the standard to balance everything.

Although the price given by Li Ke is very high, it is nothing for a country that is in the midst of life and death.

After all, money only makes sense when you are alive.

"Buy 100,000 catties first, does Your Highness have it?" Ashunro came up with a figure that he thought was huge.

Li Ke was a little speechless, and after thinking about it for a long time, five tons of silver?

"It's too little, let's make up 200,000 catties." Li Ke waved his hand, after all, 200,000 catties were only 100 tons of iron, and a ship could not be loaded.

"Good! Thank you, Your Highness. Ah Shunluo immediately said with a smile.

After negotiating strategic materials, the rest of the negotiations on silk, porcelain, etc. are much simpler, just according to the price of real wax.

After the conversation, Ah Shunluo took his leave decisively, and he wanted to go back to report to the king of the ring.
