The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 532 Li Muyun's Business Experience
"How dare you little girl!" The Sky Eyed Princess forgot the pain after her scar healed, seeing that Su Wanqing didn't come with Li Muyun, she started to wink at him again.

Seeing this, Li Muyun shrugged his shoulders, found a chair at random in the room and sat down, raised his legs and said, "Princess Tianyan, I advise you to give up your heart, I don't know how to make steel." I told you, even if you were really willing to marry me, I wouldn't tell you, let alone that I might not really marry you."

"Why?" The Sky Eyed Princess put away the charm on her face, frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Because you are from Dongying and I am from Tang Dynasty, it's as simple as that." Li Muyun said lightly, "Don't mention that you're in the middle of nowhere, and don't mention admiring Tang culture, I don't believe that."

If you have to give because of admiration, then the stars of later generations probably won't be able to get enough of those die-hard fans, so words like admiration won't have any influence on Li Muyun at all.

Princess Tianyan originally thought that there was a special reason for Li Muyun's refusal to tell him about the refining process of Baisteel, or that she had some special requirements, and even she was ready to sacrifice herself when she came to the cottage this time.

But when she heard the reason for Li Muyun's refusal, she suddenly felt speechless, and waited for a long time before she frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I can pay any price."

Li Muyun shook his head again: "Sorry, I don't need anything, you must have seen it, I don't lack money, status, women, I don't lack either, what else can you give me?"

"Is there really no room for manoeuvre?" Sky Eyed Princess asked again.

Li Muyun turned his head and glanced at the Sky Eyed Princess: "I can't say no, if possible, I will provide you with all the weapons you need, as long as you can afford the price."

"What's the difference? I can give you a large sum of money, which is enough for you to squander for the rest of your life." The Sky-Eyed Princess obviously couldn't understand Li Muyun's meaning. In her opinion, giving him a large sum of money at one time is far better than paying in installments. .

Moreover, after buying the finished weapon, it needs to be shipped back to Japan, which is a completely unnecessary expense for her, so if possible, she thinks it is much better to get the steelmaking process.

But Li Muyun shook his head like a rattle like a bastard who has eaten a weight: "No, no, this is completely different. The steelmaking process is passed down from the ancestors. It is passed on from male to female, from son to daughter-in-law. I gave it to you." I have violated the precepts of my ancestors, and the old men will come to me in the middle of the night!"

What and what?The Sky Eyed Princess blinked her eyes, feeling that she couldn't keep up with Li Muyun's train of thought, she paused and said, "Your Majesty, I can assure you that after getting this craft, I will never hand it over to anyone. Steel is only used in Japan, so is that okay?"

"Of course not. How do I know if you will steal business from me? If you sell your stuff back to Datang, then I won't be able to stretch you long or crush you, and you won't even be able to find your grave." Li Muyun curled her lips. Said, made it clear that he did not believe in the Sky Eyed Princess.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, people's minds were not so open, and because of the speed of information dissemination, their thinking was severely imprisoned, so there was a saying that there was a trick that was eaten all over the world.

Just like Li Muyun's current steelmaking skills, if he doesn't tell the formula, technology and process to the public, even if some people study it for a hundred years, they may not be able to find the final trick.

It was precisely because of this that he would not hand over this craft to Princess Tianyan, no matter how much money he gave.

Seeing that she couldn't move Li Muyun, the Tianyan princess could only give up the idea of ​​using money to buy steel-making technology, took a deep breath and said, "Then, can the county king tell me how many weapons you can provide us at most?"

"It's hard to say." Li Muyun counted with his fingers, and then said: "Actually, as long as you can spend enough money, I can provide you with enough weapons. It is not a problem to be armed, the premise is that you need to have money."

Opening and shutting is inseparable from the word money. In the eyes of the Sky Eyed Princess, Li Muyun has become a greedy vampire.

But for her own purpose, Princess Tianyan had to bite the bullet and continue to negotiate with Li Muyun, asking about the price of the weapon.

"Five strings, no two prices." Li Muyun stretched out five fingers.

"One knife and five pennies? Why don't you grab it?" The Sky-Eyed Princess couldn't believe her ears, and exclaimed in surprise.

Li Muyun chuckled: "I want to rob you too. If you really have that much money on you, it's okay to rob you, but do you have money?"

Yes, Princess Tianyan has no money, at least not as much money as Li Muyun expected, so she is safe, there is no need to worry that Li Muyun will really rob her.

Just thinking that a knife needs five pennies, Princess Tianyan's heart began to bleed. In Dongying, five pennies can buy ten slaves, but one knife may not be able to kill ten slaves, so She couldn't accept this price at all.

The scene fell into an embarrassing situation like this. Neither Li Muyun nor the Heavenly Eyed Princess said a word, but just stared at each other with wide eyes, as if they were waiting for the other party's compromise.

After a while, Li Muyun sighed, as if he had figured something out, he clicked his tongue and said, "How about you provide the materials and I provide the labor, and you only need to pay a part of the processing fee?"

"How much?" Sky Eyed Princess asked directly.

"One knife, two hundred catties of iron ore, one hundred catties of coal, plus two pennies for manual work, that's the price, it can't be lower." Li Muyun stared at the sky-eyed princess and said.

"You are extorting. How could a knife need two hundred catties of iron ore and one hundred catties of coal, not to mention the manual cost of two guns." The Sky-eyed Princess said, biting her back molars.

"Then I can't help it. You can figure it out. Two hundred catties of iron ore and one hundred catties of charcoal are not worth three times, so after all, you still took advantage." After Li Muyun finished speaking, he stood up and put his arms behind his back. Walking outside the door, he finally said: "You should think about this matter carefully. After thinking about it, come to the cottage to find me."

There is nothing else to consider. A bitter smile appeared on the face of the Sky-Eyed Princess. Five pennies and a knife are a sky-high price for her. This is simply unrealistic, so she can only consider the second condition Li Muyun put forward. ——OEM!
But even if it is an OEM, the price is still a bit expensive. You must know that a good steel knife in Datang folk is only two pennies. The price of the ore and one hundred catties of coal is definitely more than five hundred cash, not to mention that it has to be transported across the sea.
