Chapter 347 Easily two hundred million, the battle situation in Langya
This newly opened shop was purchased from a wealthy businessman in Guanzhong by Ikaruga for three times the price and used as a base in Anyi.
The area is not very large, the two floors combined are only about 300 square meters.
In this era, more than three hundred square meters is really nothing. After all, the road at the door is seventy or eighty meters wide.
Wei Cheng took Dian Wei and Hao Zhao into the shop, and the aroma of various spices came from the shop.
The store is also warmly lit and smoked with sandalwood. I have to say that Ikaruga is a person who pays great attention to consumer experience.
Just such a small detail can bring him many repeat customers.
All the way up to the second floor, Boudan Ardashir had been waiting for him for a long time.
Wei Cheng came to see him alone this time.
"Dear Ambassador, we meet again." Boudin stood up, stroked his chest and saluted.
Wei Cheng cupped his hands, nodded with a smile, then sat down at the top, looking at Boudin in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Come on, tell me what benefits you can bring to me."
Wei Cheng said straight to the point.
Opposite Boudin's expression changed, he touched his chest again, and then took out a gold coin from his arms.
Wei Cheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with great satisfaction: "Very good, you seem to have done your homework and know that I like gold."
Boudin glanced at the silent Turtle Dove next to him, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
Wei Cheng chuckled.
If you have money, it's easier to do things. He took the gold coin and played with it, then raised his eyes and gestured to Hao Zhao.
Hao Zhao nodded slightly, reached into his arms, took out a booklet, and wrote: Weapons Manual.
Boudin had studied Chinese and could naturally understand Chinese characters. He raised his Adam's apple in excitement and quickly took the weapon manual with both hands.
Wei Cheng said: "You can choose any of the weapons and armor here, in any quantity you need. As long as you can pay the money on time, you will never have to worry about me selling them to a second Parthian."
Boudin opened the first page and was attracted by the pictures on it.
Even the turtle dove on the side couldn't help but look sideways at him, with a strange light shining in his shrewd eyes.
Wei Teng leaned back casually, picked up the tea bowl on the side, blew on the almost non-existent foam, and said: "This set of full-body armor is called Bifang. It is a mythical wild beast. Wherever it appears,
It is often accompanied by monstrous flames, which means the destruction of all living beings.”
Boudin didn't understand the idiom, but he thought it was very powerful.
His breathing was a little rapid, and he said incoherently: "Dear Sir, what kind of damage can this armor withstand? Uh, no, I mean, it, no, it is too beautiful, it looks more like
It’s a decoration.”
Indeed, when Boudin turned the page, the set of armor on it was so amazing. It was designed to cover almost the whole body. There was a beak-like shape in front of the helmet. Boudin knew that this was used to defend against thrusts from spears.
There are also many peculiar designs on other parts of the body, such as the steel cymbal elbow protectors at the joints, and the metal fish scale belt that can move freely around the waist. These are all eye-catching in the West where shield defense is still the mainstay.
design.
Wei Cheng seemed to have known about this question for a long time, so he smiled and said: "You can rest assured that its defense is enough to withstand any sharp weapons. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is invulnerable."
Wei Cheng emphasized sharp weapons, because full-body armor had low defense against blunt weapons. This set of armor, which was designed to imitate the full-body armor of Western Crusaders, was like garbage in Wei Cheng's eyes. It was not only bulky, but also not very practical. value.
but.
For Boudin, Turtle Dove, and even Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, they are already like unparalleled magic soldiers.
This was also the main reason why Wei Cheng felt comfortable selling them to Boudin, because there were already better ones, so he didn't care.
Of course, the most important thing is.
These armors and weapons are the top products that can be produced by the industrial base of this era.
Selling these weapons to Boudin will not only provide a large number of jobs for Hedong, but will also be of great help to the improvement of smelting technology. It will also create economic value. It is simply killing three birds with one stone.
As for the patterns and patterns on the armor, they are the added value of the product. Westerners seem to like to add relief totems on weapons for decoration. They have an indescribable persistence and pursuit of these flashy things.
Of course, this is a good thing for Wei Cheng. A little more decoration will not require much effort, but it can also increase the selling price of the product. Why not do it?
Boudin is a very aggressive man. Without any hesitation, he directly placed an order for two thousand sets of "Bifang" and promised to settle the payment as soon as possible.
Wei Cheng smiled from ear to ear. The price of a set of [Bi Fang] was twenty gold coins, and he immediately earned 40,000 gold coins.
Calculated based on a gold coin weighing fifteen grams, because impurities have to be deducted, the final gold that can be obtained from four gold coins is about 1,200 kilograms. Calculated based on the price of gold in modern time and space, these are two small goals.
It’s a huge profit. Sure enough, this is the right way for time travellers to make money.
Even though Wei Cheng is not short of money now, who would think it's too much money?
After Boudin left with the weapon catalog in his arms, Turtle Dove started to speak but stopped talking several times.
Wei Cheng originally wanted to leave the spice shop, but seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but stop curiously.
"Ikaruga, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. You don't need to be polite to me."
Turtle Dove respectfully bowed his hands to Wei Qing, this time using the Chinese ritual instead of the Western breast-stroking ritual.
"Sir, I, I also want to purchase a batch of weapons. I don't know if it's convenient."
Wei Cheng's expression changed and he looked at him in confusion, "Why, you are not from the same family as Boudin or the Aldashir family?"
Ikaruga nodded slightly and said with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid of adults' jokes. I'm not welcome here, and it's not the same in Parthia. Because I have the blood of a foreign race flowing in my body, the Elders don't fully trust me. Otherwise, with my With his wealth, he would have had the opportunity to run for office long ago.”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wei Cheng looked at him clearly. The Western Council of Elders is equivalent to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty. It is a group of big shots with real power. It is an important means to contain the imperial power, and it has more power than the cabinet. Not a little big.
I still remember that in the movie "300", even though the male protagonist was a king, when it came to sending troops to fight against the Persians, he was suppressed by a few ugly monsters in the Elders' House. If you are not allowed to send troops, you will not be allowed.
, it’s useless even if you can fight again.
Wei Cheng rolled his eyes, and a perfect plan came to mind.
If Ikaruga can enter the Parthian Elders' House, it seems to be a good help for him.
Thinking of his second five-year plan and the sea-going ship under construction, Wei Cheng unconsciously raised a sinister arc at the corner of his mouth.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"You bitch, why do you smile so sinisterly?"
Hua Cun opened his deerskin backpack angrily, took out a steel bladder flask, and looked at Zhang Fei in front of him.
Zhang Fei chuckled, sat down opposite Hua Cun, looked at Hua Cun's wine bottle, licked his lips, and said: "Just now, when I passed by the military advisor's tent, I saw a beautiful woman as beautiful as a flower.
Go in, hehe."
When Hua Li heard this, he came up to gossip and said, "What's going on? Why would a woman appear in the military camp?"
Zhang Fei glanced at the wine bottle in his hand and smacked his lips meaningfully.
Seeing this, Hua Cun sneered and took two steps back, "I want to drink."
Zhang Fei nodded hurriedly.
Hua Cun chuckled, "It's a beautiful idea, but it's not your fault."
Zhang Fei was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Why, I don't want to hear what the woman did or said after entering the tent?"
Hua Cun hesitated.
I'm just curious, but there's not much good wine left, and Zhang Fei can drink it all in one gulp, so he's even more reluctant to part with it.
After struggling for a long time, Hua Cun was defeated by the heart of Bagua.
"Here, here it is, tell me, is the military advisor having sex with that little lady?"
Zhang Fei snatched the jug, raised his head and drank it, belched after drinking it, and then threw the jug to Hua Cun.
"It's nothing. Didn't we drive away Cao's army from the county? They came to express gratitude. They sent several baskets of chickens, but they were all sent back by the military advisor."
Hua Cun's eyes widened, "That's it"
Zhang Fei looked at him nonchalantly, "That's it."
"I, you...you bitch, please give me back the wine."
"Uncle Han, Yide and Hua Cu are fighting again. Hurry up and try to persuade them. After a while, the military advisor will see it and it will give you a headache again."
Huang Zhong was sitting on the grass, using mutton oil to maintain his longbow. Hearing this, he looked back.
"It's okay. They know they can't fight."
Yang Feng also came over, smiled and said to Tai Shici: "Don't worry, the two of them are like this. If they don't fight every other day for three days, they will feel very uncomfortable."
Taishi Ci looked at the two men speechlessly and said: "One of them is the acting commander-in-chief of the Longshan Army, and the other is the commander-in-chief of the City Guards. They are always fighting like this, and the people below are imitating them.
, I thought it would be detrimental to military morale for so long."
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong felt that it made sense.
Looking at Zhang Fei and Hua Cun who were hugging each other on the grass, Huang Zhong said loudly: "I still have half a bottle of Wuliangye here. Which one of you wants some?"
Sudden
"I want."
"I came first."
Taishi Ci stared at the two people standing in front of Huang Zhong in stunned silence, his eyelids twitching rhythmically a few times.
Yang Feng laughed heartlessly.
Huang Zhong did not break his promise, and each of them poured a small bowl for them. As for himself, Yang Feng, and Tai Shici, they did not drink. Long Xiwei prohibited drinking in the field. This was to ensure a clear mind at all times, because
I don’t know when a mission will come.
"Old man, and you guys, come over quickly for a meeting." Huang Xu's voice came.
Everyone looked back and saw Xun or Huang standing outside the tent. Xun or was seeing off two nearby village women.
Why is it a village woman? Because basically all the men in the village have been recruited, and there are only some old and weak women and children left behind.
In the tent.
Xun You frowned slightly, knelt down behind the low table, and took out a map of Langya County.
"Everyone, some villagers have just come to report that dozens of floating corpses have floated upstream of the Lushui River. Judging from their clothes, they should all be militiamen."
As he spoke, he pointed upward on a line on the map, and finally settled on a city.
"Taikang County, the nearest county seat, is also the upper reaches of Lushui River. What do you think?"
Huang Zhong tightened the long bow in his hand, looked at Xun Yu with resolute eyes, cupped his fists and said, "I will obey the military advisor's orders."
Zhang Fei simply shouted: "Fuck him."
Hua Cuan frowned slightly, clasped his fists and asked: "Military advisor, can those villagers be trusted?"
Xun You looked at the big and thick silver carp in surprise. He didn't expect this bald villain to have such a careful side.
In fact, he had wondered before whether someone was using the villagers to induce them to attack Taikang County.
However, he had asked Huang Xu to go to the secret guards to confirm that no villagers had left in the past few days, or that anyone had entered a five-mile radius. Moreover, the secret guards also discovered the floating corpses discovered by the villagers at the same time.
There is no one alive.
"General Hua can rest assured that Mr. Xun will not put everyone in danger." Xun You smiled.
Hearing this, Hua Cun nodded slightly, then looked at Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei, and said: "In that case, let the city guards go explore the way. The Longshan Army and Longxi Guards should not be dispatched yet. I want to let the new recruits go first.
The guy has seen blood."
As the training tank of Hedong, the proportion of newcomers in the city guard reaches 70%, and many of them have not killed anyone yet. It is reasonable for Hua Cunpan to want them to see blood.
However, Zhang Fei immediately quit.
"No, I have to go too. After months of repairs, my spear is already hungry."
Huang Zhong said without giving any face, "I also want to try the power of the new weapon. Brother Hua, I am sorry that I cannot accept your proposal."
Hua Cun was stunned for a moment, and stopped pretending. He said angrily: "You idiots, you guys are gone. Our city guards still have eggs to eat. No, let the city guards be the vanguard first."
Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he rolled up his sleeves to start a fight.
Xun You frowned slightly, picked up the paperweight, patted the table, and said in a deep voice: "How dignified is this?"
"Longxiwei selected fifty elite soldiers to explore the road, and the city guard selected five hundred as the vanguard. It was just a Taikang city, so there was no need for the Longshan army to be dispatched, but it was Yangguan, which was seventy miles away from Taikang County.
, Yide, you lead the 500 Longshan Army there, I always feel that this is the outpost of Cao Jun."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Xun's aura was actually a bit scary at this moment.
After a long time, Huang Xu coughed lightly, and several people came to their senses one after another, then clasped their fists and accepted the order, giving Xun or great respect.
Xun You was worried at first, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Military advisor, if you have anything to say in the future, you can say it directly. We are all big bosses and don't know how to organize troops, so don't ask for our opinions. Master, let us listen to you, and we will definitely do it."
Listen."
Xun He felt warm in his heart. Zhang Fei, a bastard, could say such words without hesitation, which made him happier than any flattery.
Huang Zhong and others also smiled.
Langya, the seat of Yangguan County.
Cao Ren yawned and walked out of the bedroom, ignoring the crying behind him.
This was the twentieth day after he led his troops to conquer Yangguan. Almost every day, he had to change his service to a beautiful woman. As long as she was a good-looking woman in the city, no matter whether she was in a boudoir or a married woman, she could not escape his clutches.
"General, there is news from Taikang County that an army is camping by the Lushui River, and there are quite a few of them."
Cao Ren frowned slightly, then said with a sinister smile: "Oh, Mr. Tao Qian finally made some noise. Very good. We must gather troops immediately. I will personally lead the troops to go on an expedition."
"General, the military advisor has an order not to use troops without authorization."
"Go away, say one more thing, and I will chop you with a knife."
