There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 367 Here comes the money giver

Standard equipment!

The simple four words made Fang La almost suffocate with excitement.

In particular, it is different from the ordinary standard equipment of the imperial court, Fang La is even more fiery.

Weapons, even in addition to the main weapon, there are also waist knives, iron armor, and even shoes, and even a robe on the outside.

After arriving at Rufen Town, Fang La was the first to observe the armor and equipment of the Qilin Army. The people here are easy to talk to. He even directly asked a soldier to see his weapon. Although the soldier was puzzled, However, following the principles of the Qilin Army, let Fang La see it.

Fang La even took out Li Tianrun's weapon and slashed at the soldier's weapon. As a result, Li Tianrun's sword was cut into two pieces.

He was surprised and delighted.

Surprised that the Qilin Army's weapons are so sophisticated, and happy that the Qilin Army can have such good weapons, and it is a complete set of standard equipment.

This shows what?
This shows that the Qilin Army has its own craftsman workshop, and this workshop is very, very large, because they heard that after more than [-] people from the Liangshan Army defected to the Qilin Army, they all replaced them with such standard equipment not long ago.

More than [-] sets.

The higher the production capacity of the Qilin Army craftsman workshop, the happier Fang La is, because only in this way, he will have more confidence and success rate in trading with Li Chu, and only in this way, can the Qilin Army have enough weapons and armor to sell give him.

"How much do you want?" Li Chu asked.

"One hundred thousand, no, two hundred thousand."

Fang La gritted her teeth and said viciously, "30, 30!"

30?
Damn it, Li Chu was also taken aback by Fang La's fierceness.

Nima, it costs 30 yuan to open a mouth. If I really want to give you 30 sets of standard equipment, can this still be a happy cooperation?

Li Chu directly rejected Fang La's request.

"One hundred thousand, at most one hundred thousand, I can't do anything more, and these one hundred thousand sets of equipment and armor are not the style of my Qilin army."

"What kind of money is that, and what's the defense?" Fang La asked.

"Mingguang armor."

Fang La was silent for three seconds, and asked, "Why?"

"Do you have so much money?"

Fang La: "..."

"I can't afford it?"

"You really can't afford it."

"How much do you charge for a set of armor and weapons for your Qilin Army?"

"How much? Huh." Li Chubai glanced at him, and said: "A set of Qilin Army, including weapons: a main weapon, a waist knife, a dagger, and a multi-functional engineering shovel. The equipment part Also: special mild steel helmet, special mild steel armor, pen armor, leg mild steel armor, a pair of combat boots, a outer robe, and inner cotton padded clothes. Then, the standard equipment of our Qilin Army soldiers is that every soldier , owning three sets. If calculated as a single set, one set will cost [-] guan. If it is [-] sets, it will cost hundreds of millions of guan. Do you have enough budget?"

"Billions...billions."

Fang La was speechless.

This number is horrific.

In the Jiangnan area where he lives, taking Suzhou as an example, Suzhou's annual tax is only more than 5 yuan.

Li Chu's opening is worth hundreds of millions. Where does he have so much money?

Even if you get the treasure house of the Southern Dynasty, you don't have so much money.

Even the tax revenue of the entire Great Song Dynasty is only a little more than one hundred million yuan a year.

"Are you trying to trick me on purpose?"

"Is it necessary?" Li Chu said: "Compared to when you came here, you should have seen the sophistication of our Qilin Army's weapons. The key is that these equipment are not made of ordinary iron, but tempered into special soft steel. Apart from our Qilin Army, who else has the ability to do this technology? It is expensive, so naturally it has its advantages. In your situation, I also have cheap ones here."

"Mingguang armor?"

Li Chu nodded and said: "A set of Mingguang armor, including a main weapon and a set of armor and helmet. If nothing else, I can assure you that compared to other armors in the imperial court, his sophistication is definitely half as good. Because this is not an ordinary Mingguang Armor, but made using a special method here. It is several times better than the original Mingguang Armor. The price is not too expensive for you, a set only costs four hundred guan."

Four hundred guan.

After 4000 sets, it is only [-] million.

The price is a bit low.

Salt iron for a reason!

Four hundred strings, Fang La was moved.

Heartbroken, but a little sore.

He naturally knew how cheap the price was.

Mainly iron salt.

The imperial court's control over salt and iron is too strict, to the limit.

Especially the salt and iron in the south of the Yangtze River are guarded more strictly than anyone else.

Then Zhu Xie is not a fool, he must have made full preparations if he continues to do so in Jiangnan. This Yantie is the reason why Zhu Xie dared to take over Jiangnan so boldly and boldly. If you control Yantie, what do you use to rebel?

iron!
In the south of the Yangtze River, even the kitchen knives for cooking at home are strictly restricted. Where is there so much iron to make weapons and armor?
Normally, the price of a set of armor on the market is around [-] guan, and the price of a slightly better armor is tens of thousands, and the selling price of a set of treasure armor is tens of thousands of guan.

The problem is on the Jiangnan side, you can't buy it even if you have money.

This is why Fang La didn't like to set off and come to Ruzhou in person after knowing the equipment situation of the Qilin Army.

The Qilin army has created so many equipment and armor, and they are still standard. What does this mean?
This shows that the Qilin army must have mastered a large iron mine, and this iron mine is not yet known to the court.

Only with iron ore can he forge so many armors so unscrupulously.

Salt and iron control is not just in Jiangnan, but also throughout the country.

This time, the Qilin Army priced the Mingguang Armor at [-] guan, and Fang La also knew that it was because the Qilin Army had iron mines that they lowered the price so low.

But he still wants to talk about the price...

"Can it be less? Once there is trouble on my side, as far as you are concerned, you should be the biggest beneficiary."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"Zhengchaogang, Zhengchaogang, Ming people don't speak dark words. Now the world is in turmoil. Who will win the deer in the end is a later story. If the deer doesn't come out, who can hunt it? Your Qilin army is not willing to be the one who scares the deer. Someone on our side is willing to do it , for this sake, please lower it a bit.”

"You should know the situation in the south of the Yangtze River best. A set of four hundred strings is the lowest limit, but..."

Li Chu changed his style and said, "However, I can provide you with a few generals who train soldiers, and I can go to Jiangnan with you to help you train soldiers."

Fang La hesitated.

Li Chudao: "Don't underestimate it. The individuals I sent to you are all proficient in various military arts. This is the greatest help I can give you."

"Hahaha." Fang La laughed and said, "Okay, cool, it's settled."

"Don't worry, send someone to you, yes, but I have a request."

Fang La said: "You say."

Li Chu: "I want you..."
