Chapter 2258 What?

Song Yu and Jiang Yuanming looked at each other with confused expressions.

"Sold arms?"

"May I ask His Majesty how to sell it?"

"I wonder which route His Majesty intends to sell to the two missions?"

"How to set the price? Sell standard military equipment? Or sell eliminated military equipment?"

The four of them asked the questions in their hearts with each other. Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to signal the four of them to be calm, and walked to the bench beside him and sat down.

"I came here to discuss this matter with you. As for the matter that the two envoys of the Wa Kingdom need military equipment, there is no need to talk about rewards. Let's discuss how to sell them."

"The Ministry of War! The Ministry of Industry!"

"His Majesty?"

"General prison, isn't there a lot of weapons and armor replaced by soldiers waiting to be remade in the military prison?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is so.

After the unification of the world, the old, chipped, and broken military equipment and armor in the hands of the guards were collected, and they were piled up like a mountain in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry.

All those that can be refurbished have been selected, and there are more than 20 remaining that must be rebuilt.

Now the task of the two craftsmen is to reforge these weapons. "

"How was the expense?"

"Although it's not as expensive as casting and building new weapons and armor, it's not a small expense.

This is also a helpless thing. They are all high-quality embryos, and it would be a pity to waste them. "

Liu Mingzhi nodded knowingly: "Since the same expenses are not small, then find a way to sell them to the Japanese in exchange for gold and silver, continue to develop better weapons, develop and forge armor and weapons that are better than [-]-smelting steel, and then equip them. To our own soldiers.

In the court hall, you also saw the body shape of those Japanese people. They are not much better than teenage children, or even worse.

Can they use our saber?Can they wear our armor? "

"What does your majesty mean?"

"The gap in the sword is too big to be repaired, so it should be cut into two pieces, which fits the height of the Wa people.

The half with the handle creates the point, and the part with the point goes to the handle.

In this way, we can sell the price of two knives for the price of one knife.

The same is true for the armor. The broken armor is divided into two parts, and the parts that should be repaired are repaired, and the parts that should be connected are connected.

At that time, I will tell the people of the Japanese country that in order to take care of them, I can better exert the power of the military equipment, and specially cast it for them.

Believe it or not, in short, military equipment is like this. If you want it, you can buy it. "

The four of them looked at Young Master Liu who was talking eloquently with strange expressions, and they could only secretly say that they were heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, if you deal with it like you said, the power of the weapon and the defense of the armor will be greatly reduced."

"You don't care if he's powerful or not, what's the point if he's powerful? Anyway, it's not for us to use. It's good to look at...is it good enough?
This saber can be polished as bright as it can be polished for them. It makes people feel that this sword is worth a lot of money.

It doesn't matter whether the power is weakened or not when killing the enemy, even the light refracted by the blade can dazzle the enemy's eyes.

What kind of silk on the handle of the knife, all the accessories that can be tied are tied to them.

It gives people a feeling of value for money at a glance.

The same goes for the armor, don't worry about its defense, as long as it looks good.

Let the Japanese people feel that they are the most handsome boy in the whole Japanese country as soon as they wear it.

For military equipment like this, no matter what, the unit price should be worth four or five taels of silver, right?
What are you kidding?Four or five taels is not enough for the cost price, and we will not sell it without eight taels.

Eight taels of silver still require two thousand weapons or two thousand sets of armor to be approved. This is because His Majesty the Emperor thanked you for your meritorious contributions, so he dealt with it cheaply and sold it to you. "

"Um! Which party is the right one to sell to?"

"Sell both sides, try to pretend to be inadvertent and tell Fujino Ninghe and Sakai congratulations that the other party would rather increase the price and buy a lot of weapons and equipment to bring to Japan.

But we can't let them know that we actually sold both sides.

Do you understand? "

"I understand, but I understand, but I always feel a little unreasonable!"

"It's really too dark to do this, not to mention our military equipment waiting to be remade, even a newly forged weapon will not take eight taels."

There were muffled bang bang bang bangs, and the stone table was slapped by Young Master Liu.

"What do you call this? Why is my young master not authentic? Why is my young master dark-hearted?
Those military equipment and armor in the warehouse are going to be remade, but forging weapons and armor are also embryos of steelmaking, okay?
As far as the Japanese country is a place where the birds don't shit, being able to forge ten steels is a superior military equipment.

They think it's too expensive, and this young master still thinks it's too expensive.

Casting military equipment now costs a lot of money. If you don't want to find a way to get some money back, why don't you go to the civil and military to drink the northwest wind?Are the craftsmen going to drink the northwest wind?
Should the soldiers of the Western Expedition go to drink the northwest wind with the soldiers stationed outside the pass? "

"Old Jiang, especially you, you think my young master has a dark heart, but you make money to enrich the treasury by yourself, don't make me cry all day long.

The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, you have said more than once that you will raise the wages of the craftsmen, right?If you have money to raise the wages of the craftsmen, I can give the military equipment to those Japanese for nothing.

The key is do you have money?Have it?Have it?
Does the household department have it?Or does your Ministry of War and Ministry of Industry have it?Or do you have it at Honglu Temple? "

The four looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"no!"

"The old minister agrees!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Then it's okay, I can't afford to wear poor pants, so why pretend to be a rich man with the Wa people?

Oh!They say a few flattering words in the court, and sing about their merits in the documents, so you can eat it?
Besides, we are also genuine and fair trade.

For 80 taels of silver, they can buy a weapon embryo that is a weapon of [-] steel smelting, and let them build it themselves. Can it be forged with [-] taels of silver?

Can't you?
That being the case, instead of earning money from them, we are giving them the excellent military equipment they want and have never seen before.

Is this not enough to show the grace of my kingdom? "

Young Master Liu picked up the tea and began to sip it carefully, then shrugged his shoulders at the four of them: "Anyway, I told you the solution, it's up to you whether to sell it or not!"

"Sell!"

"Sell as much as you want!"

"Dare to ask Your Majesty if there is anything else? If there is nothing else, I will resign! Earning money... There are a lot of official duties!"

"That's right, Your Majesty has been leisurely all day long, and the old minister's office still has a lot of things to do!"

"No delivery!"

"Sir, please retire!"

"Old Jiang, come, come, come and sit at my brother's house, let's have a drink and connect with each other!"

"Go, go, what is there to sit at your house, brother Jiang, brother Jiang, how about I arrange Tianxiang Tower for you as a younger brother? Look at the Ministry of Industry this year."

"Old Yang, can you be a little bit like an important official in the court? Is Brother Jiang the kind of person who looks for flowers and asks Liu?
Brother Jiang, there are a lot of foreign beauties living in Honglu Temple temporarily. My younger brother picks some young, beautiful and innocent beauties to lead the red thread for you. How many concubines will you take? "

Young Master Liu looked at Song Yu's shoulder-to-shoulder figure walking away, and listened to their flattering words to Lao Jiang, before spitting on the lake beside him.

"Bah! A group of veterans have no lower limit when they hear money, what the hell!"

After Song Yu and the others left, during a cup of tea, Liu Song's voice sounded in the pavilion.

"Young master, Sakai Ka has brought you here, and you are waiting outside the imperial garden, do you want to pass it on?"

"No one saw it?"

"Young master, don't worry, those foreign people can't even recognize the road, I promise that no one will see the invitation of Sakai He into the palace!"

"Good job, pass it on!"

"Yes!"
