Chapter 1453 First of all, you have to be rich (Dong Lei 1977
Seeing that Xun Yu's momentum was completely suppressed by Jiang Gan, he was in a state of depression and the atmosphere was a little nervous. Zhong Yao quickly made a fuss, said a few gossips, drank two glasses of wine, and changed the subject. "By the way, Jiang Ziyi, it's just right for you to come. I'll be promoted."
Jiang Gan took the opportunity and said, "Oh, then we should celebrate. Look at you packing your luggage, are you going to put it out?"
"Yes, Zuo Fengyi."
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Zhong Yao stretched out his hand. "Where is the congratulatory gift? You can't just say a few empty words, just make something real."
Jiang Gan raised his eyebrows. "What do Brother Yuan Chang want?"
"What do you think I need the most now?"
Jiang Gan rolled his eyes and shook his head. "I can't guess this. Brother Yuan Chang, just say it straight. As long as I can, I will never refuse."
"You should know that Bingzhou has been half lost, and Shangjun has long fallen into the hands of the Huns, right? I went to Zuofengyi and became neighbors with the Huns. The Huns came and went like the wind, with strong bows and horses fast, and I was worried about my life at any time."
Jiang Gan looked at Zhong Yao and Xun Yu, and felt suspicious. The court sent envoys to Bingzhou and Zhong Yao to Fengyi, was it intended to go east or to attack the Huns? According to Zhong Yao's words, it seemed that he wanted to clear out the Huns in Bingzhou, but who knew whether he was true or not? "It turns out that Brother Yuan Chang was very interested in moving and wanted to be a Confucian general. Well, armor or armor? I can only give you three or five sets at most, and it wouldn't work if there were too many."
Zhong Yao knocked his finger on the desk and glanced at Xun Yu quietly. Seeing that Jiang Gan agreed so readily, Xun Yu was also excited and winked at Zhong Yao repeatedly, hoping that he would agree to Jiang Gan quickly to see if he could ask for gold silk and brocade armor. Jiang Gan could see clearly, but did not say it out.
"Everything is needed." Zhong Yao smiled and bowed to thank him. "I heard that in addition to the commonly used armor, there is also a kind of close-fitting golden silk brocade armor. I wonder if Ziyi can also provide a few sets?"
"Golden silk brocade armor." Jiang Gan smacked his lips in embarrassment. "This is soft armor. It cannot be used alone when going on battle. It requires a combination of refined armor. If you need it, I can provide it, but at most one set."
"So stingy? This doesn't look like your nickname, Jiang Ziyi, Xiao Mengchang."
"It's not stingy. This kind of brocade armor is not a mass-produced product. It is all made by hand. Once the number of arrows is too many, the golden wires are arranged inside are messy, and the repair is useless. Therefore, the cost is too high, the output is very small, and the price remains high. I can give you one. If you need a lot, you can only place an order to order it."
"After talking about it, isn't it just gold?" Zhong Yao pretended to be unhappy and slapped the table a few times. "Tell me, I'll give you gold now. At worst, I can write a few more tombstones."
"It's not necessary." Jiang Gan raised his hand. "It's just a hundred gold coins, I can still afford it. OK, you write me the size and I'll send it to Runan. In a month, you can get the golden silk and brocade armor tailored for you." He suddenly glanced at Xun Yu. "Lingjun, don't you want to imitate it again, right?"
Xun Yu was shocked, then forced a smile and said, "Why, are you scared?"
"Hahaha..." Jiang Gan laughed loudly, making Xun Yu feel embarrassed and unable to get angry. It is not a secret that he was in the Jianmu Academy of Guanzhong, but what is embarrassing is that no matter how hard he tried, he could not imitate the skills of Nanyang Wood Academy. Whether it was a carriage or armor, it was progressive than before, but it was comparable to Nanyang. Jiang Gan laughed for a while. "Actually, this golden silk brocade armor is simpler than a carriage, and you can imitate it as long as you meet two conditions."
"What two conditions?"
"First of all, you have to have money."
Xun Yu laughed silently and disagreed. Of course, he knew that the cost of gold silk and brocade armor was high. Jiang Gan said just now that one piece was 100 gold, and the number of times it was used was limited. However, for the emperor's safety, 100 gold was not worth mentioning at all.
Jiang Gan saw it clearly and smiled in his heart. Zhong Yao was indifferent - even for Zhong Yao, a hundred golds are not a small amount - Xun Yu's reaction was even stronger. From this point of view, it was not Zhong Yao who wanted this piece of gold silk and brocade armor, but Xun Yu. He continued: "In fact, you have to find a craftsman who can draw silk and make gold silk. The rest is easy to handle, and it is no different from making an ordinary jacket."
"It's that simple?"
"It's simple to say, it's simple to say, it's neither simple nor simple to say." Jiang Gan smiled and said, "The great way is simple, how many people know it? Lingjun, you prepare a thousand,800 gold first and try it slowly, and you can always try it out. Even if you can't have the same form and spirit, at least it's better than nothing."
Xun Yu was so amused that he could not help but remember Jiang Gan's words. Jiang Gan said a word: wire drawing. Gold wire is pulled out, not melted. He supervised the construction of weapons in Shangfang. He heard from the craftsmen that wire drawing seems simple, but it is actually difficult, but the gold wire pulled out is stronger, which may be the key to the silver wire that can block the arrows. He decided to go back and try it after leaving here, and maybe he could complete the task as soon as possible.
Gold is a problem. If you search all the houses, there may not be a thousand gold. Even if there is one, it is impossible to use them all to draw silk and weave armor. Jiang Gan is right. To make gold silk and brocade armor, you must first have money, and it is not ordinary money, but real gold.
No matter what, Xun Yu was very happy to hear the news of the golden silk and brocade armor from Jiang Gan so easily. From another perspective, Sun Ce had no intention of breaking up with the court, which was even more good news. If the emperor came, he would have time to pacify Liangzhou. Pacifying Liangzhou was not only to stabilize the rear, control the war horses, and establish an army belonging to the emperor, but also to let the emperor practice military use. When he practiced for a few years, he would truly apply what he learned about military skills and hold 100,000 elite cavalry in his hand, and would be more confident in facing Sun Ce.
Although as a Confucian scholar, he did not like the domineering of the Legalists, he had to admit that when the two armies confronted each other, the winner was still strong and the horses and the armor was excellent. The world could only be taken immediately. If Sun Ce could not be defeated on the battlefield, even if the emperor wanted to do the kingly way, he would have no chance.
Xun Yu suddenly had an idea. Since Jiang Gan could even tell him the secret of the golden silk and brocade armor, could he ask Sun Ce to pay tribute to the emperor and equip some guards with some guards, Hu Ben and Yu Linlang? Only with a well-equipped guard in his hands can the emperor's safety be truly guaranteed.
Xun Yu blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I heard from Xin George that Yuan Xiansi and Zhang Mengzhuo both bought weapons from General Sun, but is there any incident?"
"This is indeed the case."
"Why don't you buy some Yuanchang? What can three or five sets be used for? If you want to be safe, at least three or five hundred sets are formed to form a personal guard camp."
Zhong Yao understood and said, "How is it, can Ziyi help?"
Jiang Gan smiled. “Is three or five hundred sets enough?”
Xun Yu wanted to ask for more, but he was worried that it would cause Jiang Gan’s suspicion, so he had to keep silent. Zhong Yao knew Xun Yu’s thoughts. “I am better than me. The question is whether General Sun is willing to sell it? If Ziyi is blamed by General Sun because of me, then wouldn’t I have implicated my friends.”
"To be honest, as far as I know, the total number of armored armors entering Guanzhong from various channels has increased year by year. In the past six months, it has exceeded one thousand, and over three thousand in the whole year should not be a problem, so it is not a big problem if you want to buy more. If there is a problem, there is only one."
Xun Yu and Zhong Yao looked at each other and said in unison: "First of all, you have to have money, right?"
