Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 297 Create happiness with money and rice!
"You went to inspect the armor today, how do you feel?"

Zhang Hong calmed down, drank a cup of tea, closed his eyes to calm his messy thoughts, and then opened his eyes to look at Jiang Qin and Dong Xi in front of him, and said slowly.

In the morning, I had a preliminary discussion with Xu Shu about the price, while Jiang Qin and Dong Xi took [-] guards to inspect the [-] sets of standard armor that Xuzhou was going to sell to them.

Bingjia is different from grain and grass. Zhang Hong is just a scribe, and he puts a set of armor in front of his eyes.

The most he could do was pick up a knife and slash a few times to check the armor's defense.

But for soldiers, whether a set of armor is good or not depends not only on its defense.

It is even more important to wear it on the body to feel the weight and the flexibility of the joints.

After all, if a set of armor really pursues defensive power, even if it does not have the casting process of the Song Dynasty.

You can also continue to increase the weight, and come up with a set of [-]-jin steel plate armor, which can be worn on the body to ensure invulnerability.

The problem is that it becomes a living rake that stands still and cannot move.

Even if the defense is against the sky, what's the use?

Of course, this is just an exaggeration. A set of armor should be of appropriate weight and worn on the body. Try to wield a sword, a spear, and a spear.

See if the resistance of the armor to offensive and defensive actions will be too high, etc.

After all, even the lightest light armor is much heavier than ordinary clothing.

Wearing it on the body, even a warrior with first-class martial arts will still be hindered.

The key depends on whether these obstacles are within the acceptable range, and these factors.

Only veterans and soldiers who have been on the battlefield can feel it.

This is also the reason why Sun Cehui specially ordered Jiang Qin and Dong Xi to bring [-] elite soldiers to accompany him during his mission to Xuzhou.

Zhang Hong opened his mouth to ask, Jiang Qin took a look at Dong Xi, and clasped his fists first and replied:
"Back to join the army, I am in charge of inspecting the [-] sets of armor in Dongjiaku. I inspected [-] pieces this morning. They are all regular Han armors. The soldiers feel pretty good when they wear them."

Jiang Qin opened his mouth, and Dong Xi also said slowly:
"The last general also went to inspect the [-] sets of armor in the Lijia warehouse. In the morning, he inspected [-] pieces. The results are similar to those of General Jiang Qin. Although the armors have been repaired, I don't know how Xuzhou people did it. .”

Dong Xi's tone was rather surprised, with a bit of admiration:
"After those armors were repaired, not only did they not reduce the armor's defensive power, they even improved compared to the original armor, and the weight is quite appropriate."

Hearing the return from the second general, Zhang Hong smiled bitterly, and said helplessly:
"It must be good. After all, Xuzhou asked us for 1 yuan for a set of armour, which is more than twice as expensive as it is during normal times. [-] If they are shoddy, how can they have the confidence to ask for this price?"

Hearing Zhang Hong's words, Jiang Qin and Dong Xi looked at each other and said helplessly:

"Joining the army, you can't say that. Now it's a troubled time. Armors are already expensive, especially for such a large-scale purchase price. To be honest, the general thinks that it is good to be able to buy armor."

Dong Xi did not continue to talk about these things with Jiang Qin, but pondered for a while, and said strangely:

"Speaking of which, when the general went to inspect the armor, I heard from those people that there were two thousand sets of armor hidden in Bieku, which had not yet been shipped. It is said that the two thousand sets of armor were carefully crafted by Qihou. The new type of armor is expensive."

Hearing Dong Xi's words, Zhang Hong was taken aback for a moment, and Jiang Qin who was next to him was also reminded by Dong Xi's words, and immediately said:

"I heard what General Dong Xi said, and I even heard that those Xuzhou soldiers guarding the armor warehouse were talking about it, saying that those new-style armors should not be sold to us. I don't know what Qi Hou thought. Faint move!"

"Oh?"

After listening to the second general's words, a gleam flashed in Zhang Hong's eyes: "It's interesting."

He dared to bet that Jiang Qin and Dong Xi heard those discussions, even if they were not arranged by Xu Shu, they were specially made to hear them.

Nor will it be completely unintentional.

"New armor? I need to pay attention to it. If I remember correctly, when Xun Yu met with the Central Guard Army, he made it clear that there are [-] sets of armor that Xuzhou is going to sell. Right now, we are only showing [-]. Eight thousand sets."

Zhang Hong paused: "It seems that the remaining two thousand sets are the so-called new-style armor."

Zhang Hong put his mind aside for a while, got up slowly and said, "Forget it, the two generals don't have to worry about these things for the time being. You can continue to inspect those armors in the afternoon, and I'll go talk to that Xu Changshi again."

……

In the afternoon, Xuzhou Mansion.

"A set of three hundred shimi? Not settled in silver?!"

Even though Zhang Hong was already mentally prepared, after hearing what Xu Shu said about the price of the so-called new armor.

Still can't help but exclaim!
That is to say, Zhang Hong has a good self-cultivation. If Jiang Qin and Dong Xi were here, I'm afraid they would have scolded their mothers on the spot!

However, Xu Shu remained indifferent, as if he didn't notice Zhang Hong's surprise and embarrassment.

Slowly poured a cup of tea for himself, and after taking a sip, he looked at the embarrassed Zhang Hong and smiled lightly.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Hong resisted the urge to walk away, and said slowly:

"Xu Changshi, under the order of Marquis Wu, I came across the river with sincerity, but I didn't let Changshi make fun of me. The price of this set of armor is three hundred stone meters, which is simply unheard of!"

The price of rice in Jiangdong is already a low price that is rare in the world, two hundred yuan for one stone of rice.

But even at this price of rice, three hundred shi of rice is a full [-] yuan!
You know, in peacetime, a set of armor would cost [-] yuan!

Even in troubled times, even on Cao Cao's side, it only costs [-] yuan to buy a set of armor now!

[-] yuan, this is not to slaughter the big family, not to cheat them Jiangdong, or what!
Looking at Zhang Hong, who was on the verge of going berserk, Xu Shu realized that his fire was almost on fire.

Immediately, Xu Shu smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, and said slowly:

"Why should Zhang Canjun be so angry? As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Since I, Xuzhou, dare to offer a set of armor of [-] shimi, and the price is not settled in silver, it means that our armor, Definitely worth the price.”

With that said, Xu Shu raised his eyes to look at the guard behind him and gave him a wink.

The guard immediately turned around and went down to prepare, while Xu Shu continued:
"What's more, we didn't say that Marquis Wu has to buy these two thousand sets of armor. You don't have to buy it. However, if you don't buy it this time, you want to buy it next time, but it won't be at this price. Even if you want If you buy it at a high price, you probably won’t be able to buy it.”

There was an extremely honest and sincere smile on Xu Shu's face.

If Yuan Tan were here, he would definitely look very familiar.

Because of the merchants in the previous life who held high the "[-]% off for a limited time, first come first served" and "Double Festival special celebration, recharge coupons to get rewards".

While watching krypton gold players refilling money crazily.

The simple and honest smile on his face is exactly the same as that of the Marquis Chief Shi Xu Yuanzhi at the moment.

Almost identical.
