Datang: At the beginning, I wanted to rebel against my father-in-law

Chapter 18 Expensive Weapons!

As an emperor, Li Shimin has experienced many battles, so he naturally has his own unique views on weapons. He has long been familiar with all kinds of top weapons in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, when holding the knife, he was almost sure immediately that everything Su Feng had said to him before was true.

"Come..." At this moment, Su Feng waved to the servants beside him.

The servants had been prepared long ago and took action immediately. Several people came over carrying a piece of wood as thick as their arms. After working hard for a long time, they erected it and fixed it on the ground not far away.

"I remember my father-in-law once said that you seem to know some things about martial arts, and now you can try this knife!" Su Feng looked at Li Shimin with a smile, and said expectantly.

This is also a good opportunity for him to see the opponent's strength. Su Feng believes that under the current situation, it is difficult for Li Shimin to control his desire to show off.

Sure enough, upon hearing Su Feng's words and feeling his strong thirst for knowledge, Li Shimin's chest uncontrollably became a little taller.

From the moment he met Su Feng, the other party showed off his skills all the time, and every time he brought out something, Li Shimin had to admire him.

Now, he finally had an opportunity to make Su Feng envied and admired. Of course, Li Shimin would not let it go easily. What's more, he had led troops to fight for more than ten years, which was considered his best method.

"Since you want to see it, I'll show you one or two tricks..." Li Shimin nodded proudly.

I don't know whether it was Su Feng's arrangement in advance, or the servants heard Li Shimin's words. At this time, all the servants present surrounded him and looked at Li Shimin expectantly.

The atmosphere in front of him made the smile on his face even more intense.

So, Li Shimin picked up the big knife in his hand, and took the piece of wood that had just been erected as an imaginary enemy. Before launching the attack, he still showed a lot of moves on the spot.

In fact, these moves before the action didn't have any practical effect, they just made people who don't understand look very chic, so except for Su Feng, everyone else onlookers couldn't help admiring.

Hearing everyone's admiration, Li Shimin involuntarily turned his head to look at Su Feng, then he roared angrily, and rushed towards the log with a big knife in his hand.

The big knife was raised directly, and then chopped towards the wood at an extremely fast speed.

Although Li Shimin has been out of battle for a long time and hasn't done it himself for many years, he still has the most basic moves and strength.

With a piercing sound of piercing through the air, the big knife slashed fiercely on the wood, and then easily chopped it into two pieces.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Li Shimin still couldn't help but widen his eyes when he cut off the wood so easily.

Before he started, he had thought that today he would chop off that piece of wood no matter what to prove his strength. Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Shimin used all his strength.

But it turned out to be too easy, the knife didn't seem to be hindered, and it went straight through the wood, which caused Li Shimin to use too much force, and finally couldn't take back his strength, so he staggered and rushed a long way .

Fortunately, Li Shimin's physical fitness is not bad, and he forcibly stopped his figure after he realized it, otherwise, he would have fallen to the ground today, which would have really become a big joke.

Fortunately, almost everyone's attention was on the wood, and not many people noticed Li Shimin's embarrassment just now, and bursts of cheers sounded again.

"How is it?" Li Shimin looked at Su Feng not far away and said with a smile.

"Father-in-law is really amazing..." Su Feng nodded repeatedly, and like the people watching around, he gave Li Shimin his appreciation without hesitation.

However, a gleam flashed in the depths of his eyes, this father-in-law is unusual.

A mere civil servant actually knows how to ride and shoot.

There's definitely something tricky in here.

After deeply seeing the power of the steel knife, Li Shimin couldn't suppress his mood.

He even wanted to see what it would look like on the battlefield when every soldier in his army had this weapon.

"How do you plan to sell such a weapon?" Li Shimin suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Su Feng seriously.

This is the most critical question...

"Each weapon costs 20 taels of silver!" Su Feng seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said without thinking.

20 taels of silver?
Hearing this price, Li Shimin's eyes were about to bleed. 20 taels of silver, according to this price, can buy more than a dozen weapons that are currently used in the military.

He wanted to say something, but thinking of the power of the big sword just now, Li Shimin swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Although the price is very expensive, if they can achieve the effect they imagined, this kind of transaction is not very expensive. When the time comes to win Tubo, such a price will naturally be borne by them...

……

After discussing the specific details with Su Feng, Li Shimin immediately recruited Cheng Yaojin in the way they agreed, and then gave him several samples to take back to Chang'an.

After hearing the prices of these weapons, Cheng Yaojin was even more excited than Li Shimin.

If Li Shimin hadn't forced him to carry out the order, Cheng Yaojin might have gone to Su Feng's theory.

How the hell is this different from robbery?
Without any hesitation, Cheng Yaojin immediately returned to Chang'an with these weapons, and with the help of Li Jing and others, he summoned the ministers of the court to discuss this matter.

Now that Li Shimin is not in Chang'an, if he wants to use the national treasury to buy weapons in large quantities, he must obtain the support of the vast majority of people.

Otherwise, even Li Shimin would not be able to disobey the wishes of the ministers and rashly use the money in the treasury.

If he dared to do this, the people represented by Wei Zheng would definitely spray him to pieces.

In order to facilitate the display of weapons, Cheng Yaojin specially gathered everyone on the school field in the military camp.

"Everyone, this is what His Majesty asked me to bring back..." Cheng Yaojin pointed to the weapons on the table in front of him, looked at all the people who came here and said in a low voice.

The people who came here knew in advance what Cheng Yaojin was going to do, so they immediately surrounded him and looked at the weapons very seriously.

"These things don't seem to be different except that they look better in quality?" Minister Changsun Wuji said first.

He is the elder brother of Empress Changsun, but he is a civil servant, so he doesn't know much about weapons.

But these things brought by Cheng Yaojin are really not amazing, they just look brighter than what they used, and the quality feels better...
