"That's easy to say, but are you only a knife in this mine? Are there any other blades such as armor spears? ”

Liu Lan was not sure, but for the sake of safety, he planned to take him to meet the bed crossbow, so that he knew that it was not so easy to deal with the mine, only in this way could the business of the ring knife be done, and the group came to the front of the mine wall, made in imitation of the city building, with several huge bed crossbows on it, Liu Lan smiled and signaled the officers and soldiers to release arrows. (.

Many people who didn't understand here thought that Sima was demonstrating the power of the bed crossbow to this thief Cao and selling it together, but there were still a few people such as Yan Rou who understood that Sima was beating the squid, and said with a smile: "Squid Cao, this is the latest improved bed crossbow in my mine, which is much lighter than the previous bulky bed crossbow, but the power is not reduced, how about it, thief Cao look at the power?" ”

Although Liu Lan said politely, there was a hint of asking the squid Cao, but the soldiers under his hands did not stop at all, stirring up the rope in one go, the squid Cao was just about to say to see how powerful it was, he heard a loud sound in his ears, and a huge arrow flew out, and it shot directly to the edge of the open field, that is to say, if you want to attack the mine, these hundreds of meters away are within the range of the mine's bed crossbow, if it is a sneak attack, it is good to say, But once the mine is prepared, it will be a little dangerous to break through the blockade of this crossbow, and it will not be possible to pile up human lives at all, but the problem is that this is still the first line of defense, so if you want to take down the mine, you must use ten times the number of troops, but it is unknown how many defenders there are in the mine, and the people of the mine must be counted, if so. To mobilize such a large number of soldiers, it is not something that he or even Lu Longling can do.

It took a long time for the squid to come back to its senses, and it gasped as it looked at the groove shot by the giant arrow three hundred steps away. said: "This bed crossbow is powerful, it is thirty percent more powerful than the crossbow of Lu Longsai guarding the city." There is this bed crossbow in don't say it's the Hu people, that is, the northern army wears fish scale armor and doesn't want to attack the city lightly, it's really a good thing, it's really a good thing, if Lu Longsai has the bed crossbow of your mine, then guard against the Hu people, it's not easy to capture? ”

Liu Lan didn't answer him, he knew too much about the officials in this era, and he had always been a take-it-or-leave-it. As long as it is beneficial to them, it will be offered, if there are any precious things such as jewelry, it will be offered layer by layer until the eyes of the Son of Heaven, the largest exploiting class, and this kind of improved technology must be actively offered, if it is not offered, the final result will be killed by the government without thinking about it, but Liu Lan has already demonstrated his prestige and told the thief that Cao Mine is not easy to deal with, and if you want these things, there is no benefit to talk about. He is now in charge of the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in the mine, and this iron tool and technology are bought and sold, no matter what he wants, it will be negotiated according to the terms of the sale. Be a volunteer, don't talk about it.

What does Liu Lan's silence mean, since Liu Lan doesn't answer the call, he can't take the bait. Then you can only talk about business, hehe. The squid said: "I don't know how the leader of this crossbow technology plans to sell it?" ”

Liu Lan smiled, since you know the current affairs, let's continue to talk. Said seriously: "After all, it is used to deal with the Hu people who entered the Kou, the price is too high and it is not suitable, 10,000 yuan is not the price, my people keep the craftsmen who taught Lu Longsei, and then you can improve the bed crossbow by yourself, if you don't worry, you can pay half of the deposit first, if you have the power of the mine bed crossbow at that time, then pay the remaining half, how about it?" Liu Lan talked eloquently like a shrewd businessman, if Zhang Fei was not drunk and sleeping at home, but here, he would definitely exclaim that Sima is worthy of being Sima, and he can even do business so calculated.

Liu Lan offset all the squid's concerns, but he was always a microphone and couldn't be the lord of the county monarch, and said: "I can't be the master of this matter, and I still need to go back to discuss with the county monarch, if the county monarch nods at that time, then he can buy it in large quantities with the leader." ”

"It seems that the thief Cao is very sincere, and this matter still needs to be handled by the thief."

"That's natural, especially the Huanshou knife, which Lu Longsai is in short supply, and such a good weapon is five thousand dollars cheaper than Nanyang, I think the county gentleman will definitely agree." The squid said with a lotus flower, the reason why he agreed in one breath was naturally because the price of the ring head knife was low, he saw the head of the fish, if he could pick up the goods from the mine and then go to Lu Longsai to sell, he could earn four or five thousand yuan for each ring head knife, of course, he didn't want to earn this soup money, he also wanted to eat meat, pulled Liu Lan to a secluded place, got straight to the point, and said: "Leader Liu, I want the mine to sell the ring head knife to Lu Longsai for 11,000 yuan, and the 1,000 yuan is to be returned to me." If you agree, I'll try my best to convince the county magistrate when I go back, how about it? ”

I didn't expect that there would be such a thing as eating kickbacks in this era? Liu Lan's expression is as weird as it gets, but he has nothing to do with the imperial court now, and the mine urgently needs to find a new way to sell weapons, so whether the thief Cao eats kickbacks or not has nothing to do with his mine selling weapons, and said with a smile: "As long as this matter can be negotiated, the benefits are naturally indispensable to the squid Cao." ”

When the thief Cao heard this, he said: "Okay, Leader Liu, then I will leave and rush back to Lu Longsai to persuade the county monarch, I think this matter will be three days soon, ten days at the latest, and I will definitely give Leader Liu an answer." ”

"Okay, then you'll need to tell me how many ring-headed knives Lu Longsai needs, and I'll build them as needed."

"By the way, Leader Liu, I don't know if I still have to spend money to buy this ring-headed knife?" Squid Cao pointed to the mine ring knife in his hand that he had used to test.

Isn't the thief Cao ashamed of me, and said with a hearty smile: "This ring-headed knife should be given to the thief Cao, so you should make friends with the thief Cao, and don't take a penny, what's the matter?" ”

After that, Liu Lan personally sent the squid Cao out of the mine,

Yan Rou stepped forward and said with joy on her face: "Sima, this squid Cao Zhen agreed so happily?" ”

"It's so easy, he has to draw a thousand dollars for each ring head knife."

"What, he has such a big appetite, then Sima you promised him?" Zhang Zheng's face changed instantly when he heard this, and he said coldly: "How could Sima agree to such an unreasonable request from him, it must be with this villain, Sima, or I will rush back to Lu Long to meet my old colleagues and stab this matter in front of the county monarch, and when the time comes, hum." Zhang Zheng didn't say anything further, but everyone knew that with his and Sima's connections in Lu Long, the thief Cao's life was probably over.

"This matter must be discussed in the long run, we can't be so reckless, after all, we don't know where this person came from, if we act rashly, we are afraid that we will not only offend this person, but the matter of weapon sales will also be blown up, let people go to Lulong to inquire first, see what the relationship between this squid and the county order is, and we will not be too late to make a decision."

"No!" (To be continued......)
