As shrewd as Han Jiao, of course it is impossible for him to sell himself in order to borrow money from others, so he persuaded earnestly: "Your Highness, if this armor is made and worn by the vanguard cavalry of the army, it will not be invincible? As long as Build one first, let everyone know how powerful it is, even if there are no rich merchants to buy it, the imperial court will buy it in large quantities."

Xie Duo reminded friendlyly: "It costs less than 3000 taels to lift a tiger cannon, and the army cannot afford a set of armor worth 1000 taels."

"That's different." Han Jiao said, "Think about it carefully, Your Highness. The reason for the high cost of the cannon is that it is made of copper. The cost of the copper material of nearly twenty stones is worth the cost, not to mention the cost of the cannon. The precision required for ballistic range is much higher than that required for armor, and it also has higher requirements for craftsmen. Iron armor is different. Not only are the materials cheap, but as long as a set of molds is produced, we can outsource them to folk craftsmen. Yes, the cost can be reduced to less than 50 taels. At that time, we will invite commanders from all over the world to visit, such a powerful armor, is there still no market for it?"

Xie Duo didn't answer, just squinted at the little prodigy's voice and dancing.

Han Jiao is even more eager to sell than the insurance seller: "When the time comes, we will sell him a pair of armor for 100 taels, isn't it interesting? As long as the military expenditure of a cannon is allocated, an invincible vanguard army can be armed. Which commander can not What about heartbeat?"

Xie Duo raised the corners of his mouth, nodded and said, "I know how to live, you are worthy of being my accountant."

Just as Han Jiao was about to respond, he saw Xie Xiu trotting back with his head drooping.

"They said that if you withdraw 1000 taels, the Prophet will tell you." Xie Xiu lowered his head: "Will the gentleman not agree?"

"You don't have to ask Li Ge for getting old, brother, I'll help you out with 1000 taels." Xie Duo took the initiative and said, "But there is no guarantee that it will be completed before Sixth Brother returns to Beijing."

"I'll pay 100 taels too!" Xie An contributed his small treasury with great loyalty.

"Then I'll pay 200 taels." Xie Jing also readily joined.

"No need." Xie Duo didn't want to share the ownership of the little prodigy: "It's all up to me."

"Your Highness is wise and mighty!" Han Jiao applauded warmly!

Xie Jing and Xie An didn't compete with Lao Jiu, let Xie Duo bear some more expenses, and they were used to it.

The source of the prince's income in Dachu is not the feudal tax, but the fixed annual salary according to the rank, plus the income of various Huangzhuang.

Xie Duo, like King Duan and King Yan, is the queen's son, and both are princes with first-class salaries. They have high incomes, and Xie Duo is the most favored. The same can't stop, so everyone knows that Xie Duo is very rich, and he can't even imagine how rich he is. Anyway, there is no need to save for him.

After receiving the sponsorship from the big boss, Han Jiao took the princes out of the palace, went to the military workshop, and found a national weapon master to join him.

I thought the master would retreat when he saw such a complicated armor model, but the three craftsmen were immediately fascinated by it. They played around the ingenious armor model for a long time, amazed again and again.

Although they couldn't put it down, the three masters quickly made an offer——

Only one piece of pure iron armor was made, and the labor cost was 900 taels. If the moving parts needed anti-rust treatment, additional money would be added. Due to the extremely complicated armor parts, it took at least half a year to produce the finished product.

Xie Duo was mentally prepared for this quotation, so he signed the order directly, promising to send someone to deliver 1000 taels of silver notes tomorrow, and reminded the three craftsmen that the important parts of the armor can be selected from the best materials, and the extra expenses will be paid after the finished product comes out. Find him to settle the bill.

After leaving the military workshop, it was getting late. The princes sent King Duan back to the palace, and then rode back to the palace. Han Jiao also rode a donkey back home.

They walked to the fork in the road together, and the big boss said that he was going to buy something in the West Market, then turned around and walked side by side with Han Jiao.

It seems that every time he leaves the palace, he will take Han Jiao home along the way.

Even Han Jiao's Ferrari was familiar with the big boss's white horse, so he was no longer afraid. Sometimes he disliked the white horse's strides, so Ferrari deliberately hummed twice, forcing the white horse to keep the same distance as his own four short legs.

The alley was very quiet, so quiet that Han Jiao couldn't help but start thinking wildly, looking at the profile of the big boss from the corner of his eye.

The big boss still had a stinky and indifferent demeanor.

Han Jiao lowered his head, as expected, he must have thought too much.

But how many times has this happened.

I can't help it!

Han Jiao took a deep breath and asked boldly, "Your Highness, what do you buy in the West Market every time you leave the palace? Why don't you buy more at a time?"

"Candied haws." Xie Duo argued solemnly, "If you buy too much, it won't be fresh."

"Oh——" Han Jiao acted as if he had realized something, and remained silent for a while, but he challenged unwillingly: "But if you want to eat candied haws, the Imperial Dining Room in the palace can make you better ones at any time!"

"Han Xiaobai." Xie Duo warned in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"

Han Jiao tightened his grip on the reins of the Ferrari, looked ahead, summoned up his courage and said, "Your Highness, it's not for..."

"No." Xie Duo said decisively, "It's because I want to buy candied haws. I like that shop."

Han Jiao squinted at the big boss suspiciously.

Xie Duo looked calm: "By the way, my attendant and accountant hasn't been to my palace yet, and it's still early in the morning. My lord will take you there personally today to see the way."

Han Jiao immediately questioned: "Who is His Highness's accountant?"

"What?" Xie Duo turned his head to look at the little prodigy, "Did you pay me back the 1000 taels?"

Han Jiao was startled: "Even if His Highness paid for the armor in advance, it should be money lent to His Highness Duan Wang!"

Xie Duo looked serious: "Whoever mentions it to me first will be considered as the one who borrowed it."

Han Jiao raised his head and asked, "How can Your Highness be so unreasonable?"

Xie Duo raised the corners of his lips: "I was unreasonable, no one told you?"

Han Jiao felt unwilling: "But the armor was not for the ministers, it was given to His Highness King Yan by King Duan."

Xie Duo looked at him sideways: "Do you really want to make that armor and give it to Sixth Brother in Luozhou?"

Han Jiao recognized the reality, shook his head, lowered his eyes and said, "It takes half a year to fight well, and the battle will be over by then..."

Xie Duo tilted his head and said, "Are you worried about the 22 soldiers, or only the sixth brother?"

"Of course I'm worried. Even you said that the terrain of this battle is dangerous. King Yan's temperament is upright and impatient. I'm really afraid that he will be impulsive..." Han Jiao took a deep breath, frowned and said, "It would be great if you lead the troops."

"I'll lead the troops, so don't you worry?" The big boss asked with murderous intent from beside him.

"Of course." Han Jiao was full of confidence in the strength of the God of War boss.

Xie Duo narrowed his eyes dangerously: "How about I go to Luozhou and exchange Sixth Brother back?"

Han Jiao was stunned: "Can the emperor agree?"

Xie Duo pierced him with a pair of Ruifeng eyes, and said in a low voice: "Why do you care so much? The key is to ensure that the only concern in Mr.'s heart is safe, and if I take it on top, everyone will be happy? That one is for Brother Six. There is no need to prepare the armor, I wear straw sandals and animal skins, and do the same, anyway, sir doesn’t care.”

Han Jiao was almost pierced by the murderous look in the eyes of the big boss, and he stammered and almost bit his tongue: "I don't mean that! It's because King Yan doesn't know how to fight! Your Highness, you are a born god of war, and you can command me. I am a big Chu iron cavalry, and I will definitely be invincible!"

Xie Duo didn't respond, but stared ahead with a cold face, and didn't stop to say goodbye until he passed by Han Jiao's mansion.

Looking at the back of the big boss, Han Jiao opened his mouth, but didn't open his mouth again. He flicked the reins, rode his Ferrari and chased after him, and continued to walk quietly beside Xie Duo.

"Didn't Your Highness say that you want to take your ministers to the palace to have a look?" Han Jiao said to the big boss, "Your Highness, God of War, can't break his promise."

Xie Duo gave him a sideways look, but did not answer, but turned his horse's head and walked towards the palace that he was still building.

Han Jiao immediately turned around and followed.

The palace was built in a secluded and beautiful bamboo forest on the outskirts of Beijing, and the area covered by it was indeed a few streets smaller than that of Prince Yan's Palace.

The architectural style is not a typical capital style, but a bit like the garden layout in the south of the Yangtze River and the architectural style of the Han and Tang Dynasties. When Han Jiao saw it from a distance, it was like seeing a fairyland.

So flowy!

This is where the second generation of the emperor should live!

Originally, he was just accompanying the big boss who blew his hair to see the new home, but as soon as he stepped into the palace, Han Jiao really smelled good.

He doesn't need to pay to work in this kind of fairyland, he is willing!

Having fun all the way around the courtyard and pavilions, Han Jiao's mood was exactly the same as that of Grandma Liu who visited the Grand View Garden for the first time.

The palace has not been fully built yet, and many places are still under construction. There are not many houses that can be visited. Han Jiao walked and looked, and finally came to the end of a courtyard in the northeast corner, and saw an exquisite three-story flower building with complete doors and windows. It looks like it's finished.

"Can I go in for a visit?" Han Jiao turned to ask the big boss.

Xie Duo followed behind him all the time, glanced at the building he designed, then at the little prodigy, and nodded silently.

Han Jiao gently opened the door, feeling as if he was unwrapping a gift, but when he entered the room, he found that the lights were not on, and the doors and windows were closed tightly.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window screen into the house, which was still dim.

It was a little disappointing, but after his eyes gradually adapted to the light, Han Jiao was immediately conquered by the gorgeous and exquisite furnishings in the room.

Watching it all the way mesmerizingly, I walked into the bedroom on the east side without knowing it. To Han Jiao's surprise, this bedroom was also very small, and there was an Suzhou embroidered screen between the bed and the door and window.

The bed behind the screen is also very small, the bed rails have not yet been covered with a bed curtain, it is just a bare mahogany bed, the width seems to be only one meter.

Why did ancient nobles like to design their bedrooms and beds so small?

Han Jiao stood in front of the bed in bewilderment, thinking silently.

A certain god of war standing behind him was also looking at his back, lost in thought, and closed the door behind him.

The author has something to say: Little Cotton Essence almost lay on the bed by himself, hasn't the big boss figured out why he can't help closing the door yet!
