Chapter 114 Purchase of Weapons
"I wonder what weapons your highness needs?" After hearing that Zhengliang needed to purchase weapons, Shenwu Shaoce asked immediately. Since there was a business coming to his door, and it was a business of thousands of cents, he would certainly not miss it easily.
"The whole set of array hats, simple armor, cage hands, squids and squids," said Zhengliang, "It takes 400 sets. The coins are insufficient, and the income from snow salt is supplemented." Since these weapons are mainly made of bamboo, cloth and small amounts of iron sheets, and are relatively easy to produce weapons at present. At the current price, the whole set is about 11 kilns, which is relatively cheap compared to those armors with most of the iron body. Why does Zhengliang need such a quantity?
The main thing is that the armor of the Luo family's regular foot light equipment is too simple. Except for the warriors who can wear a pair of simple armor, the other ordinary foot lights do not have any armor. At best, these foot lights are just an upgraded version of the peasant soldiers who have carried weapons and also carried out formal training. With such weapons and equipment, it is a disadvantage if they encounter enemies with better equipment, so Zhengliang made up his mind to equip all the regular foot lights of the Luo family with a simple version.
"Your Highness, such a large number of armors may take two months to complete the purchase," Shenwu Shaoce calculated in his mind and finally said.
"It doesn't matter. Send the purchased armor to the territory of the Luo family every month. Be careful to cover up and don't let anyone know about these supplies," Zhengliang agreed, "In addition, please find some craftsmen in this area for me. I guarantee a good salary." After all, daily armor maintenance also requires a dedicated person to be responsible.
"This...is probably a bit difficult. These craftsmen generally earn well, or they are some powerful full-time craftsmen, and they will not agree easily," said Shenwu Shao's strategy in a dilemma.
"If it really doesn't work, please provide the specific address of these people. I will personally send someone to invite you." If I don't want to come, I have to adopt the "kidnapping" method. "In addition, I also need to purchase 200 bows and large amounts of arrows. When purchasing armor, please purchase them for me. These materials will also be compensated with the income from snow salt." Currently, there are 558 unallocated swords and 707 spears in the territory, so when the funds are limited, the purchase of swords and spears will not be considered for the time being.
, However, although there are 150 bows and arrows as long-range weapons, they are all different in standards and most of them have limited ranges. In this case, Zhengliang decided to purchase bows with longer ranges, lighter weights and better quality. (Bow arch bows, with bamboo strips as bows, similar to the production process of composite bows, mostly three bows and five bows. They are 120-170 cm long and weigh 0.2kg-0.3.kg. This kind of bow is lighter to buy, and is more tougher than heavy arches, with a range of about 200 to 400 meters.)
"The bow and arrow matter is easy to deal with. Hakata happens to have several people in the country who are good at making bow and arrows. Your Highness's bow and arrow will be enough next month. Then, it will be possible to use the method of dispersed transportation to your Highness's territory." Shenwu Shaoce immediately replied, "It's just that your Highness, you need to purchase these materials in such a short time. Even if the income from snow salt is added, there may not be enough funds?" Although it is cooperation, according to the needs of the Luo family, you must prepare these materials in just two or three months. Unless the Shenwu family lends part of the funds, it will not be able to purchase them by relying solely on the 3,000 guan coins paid by the Luo family and the snow salt income and expenditure in the next few months, but Shenwu family will not rashly lend out funds.
"Haha, there is something else here." Zhengliang had expected that the other party would say this, so he immediately gave a wink to Mu Zao Chongzhong beside him. The latter quickly took out a small wooden box and put it in front of Shaoce, the god house.
"This is my family's treasure. I plan to sell it now. If possible, I will entrust the Shenwu family to sell it on my behalf. The treasure is quite valuable. Please keep it properly, otherwise it will definitely attract the anger of the gods." Zhengliang pointed to the wooden box and continued.
"Jiabao?" After seeing the other party take out a wooden box again, Shaoce of the Shenwu first thought was that the other party had something to cooperate with him to sell, but he did not expect that the other party was going to sell Jiabao. After listening to Zhengliang's introduction, he carefully opened the wooden box.
"This?" What caught the eyes of the Shenwu Shaoce was a picture painted on a transparent piece of paper. This was the packaging on the bread brought by Zhengliang, with a total of five pieces. Such materials were unique in this era, so Zhengliang simply sold it as a treasure. After seeing this strange painting, the Shenwu Shaoce couldn't help but appreciate it.
"The head of this family is the envoy of Hachiman Great Bodhisattva. This is a divine object that has been blessed by Hachiman Great Bodhisattva." Mu Zao Chongtaki, who was beside him, took the opportunity to speak.
"Ah? It's really rude." Shenwu Shaoce was startled by Kizuko's words, and immediately put the picture respectfully back into the wooden box. Then he looked at Masaru and said earnestly, "I don't know how your highness plans to sell this treasure. If possible, I am willing to buy it directly." Such treasures can not only be kept at home, but also as gifts for friendship with Daming and even the shogunate, so Shenwu Shaoce couldn't wait to buy it directly.
"Haha, is Lord Shenwu also interested in my family's treasure? If I hadn't had the funds now, I wouldn't have sold this treasure, so I hope the higher the price, the better," Zhengliang said in a pretentious manner.
"How about 400 guan?" Shenwu Shaoce said immediately.
"Hmm? This?" Zhengliang did not express his opinion immediately, but pretended to be pondering. In fact, Zhengliang didn't know what the value of this picture should be, but it would be better to not express his opinion for the most sensible way.
"500 guan, plus 100 archers." Seeing Masayoshi frowned, Saoce of the Kanwu gritted his teeth and said again.
500 guan? It should be almost the same. The Huzi family in the territory was just planning to buy it for 400 guan. Now, there are 100 guans of arrows. According to the calculation of 20 guans per guan, there are 2,000 arrows, which saves some expenses.
"Okay, I hope our two families can cooperate happily," Zhengliang finally agreed.
"Haha, Your Highness is really refreshing. I admire you. I will immediately discuss the details of the cooperation with you in the next few days." Seeing that Zhengliang finally agreed to the sale, Shenwu Shaoce seemed very happy. This time he came with a look, but he didn't expect to meet a big customer.
The current Shenwu family mainly focuses on operating diners, occasionally selling some other materials, and even doing some North Korean trade. The Shenwu family really made a fortune, which happened after Shenwu Zongzhan was in charge. It can be said that the emergence of the Luo family prompted the Shenwu family to accelerate the speed of becoming a wealthy businessman.
