The stunned Persian prince followed Li Chengqian into Chang'an City, and while satisfying his desire to go to Dongshi to see, he also sat in the welcome building, one of the best restaurants in Dongshi.

And the reason why Li Chengqian is out every time he eats is in the Welcome Building.

First, because of the problem of grade, the welcome building belonging to the harem is higher than the restaurant outside in terms of hardware facilities and software facilities.

The second is because of the taste, I am used to eating things made by the chefs in the palace, and then I go to eat the things made by other people outside, I will always feel that the taste is not right.

As for the third, it is because he can hang the account casually, that is to say, he can eat without paying, which for people who are not familiar with the doorway, they will think that he is very awesome as a prince.

It is precisely based on these three points that Li Chengqian will be very fond of coming to the Yingbin Building to eat.

……

"Prince Belus is the first time to come to Datang, right? Can you still get used to this time? A group of people sat down in Li Chengqian's exclusive box, and as all kinds of dishes were served like water, Comrade Xiao Li opened the conversation.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Belus is very grateful for your concern, there is nothing unaccustomed to the care of General Wei Chi and the care of the officials of Honglu Temple along the way." Belus said humbly.

From the moment they met, until they entered the welcome building, the Persian prince had recovered from the shock and behaved much more normally.

Li Chengqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and did not be too polite to Belus, just waiting for him to finish speaking, he asked directly: "Prince Belus, I heard that you came this time to ask for some help, I don't know what kind of help?" ”

Ask while knowing the answer! Belus was tired in his heart, so he didn't believe that Yu Chi Baolin hadn't mentioned these things to Li Chengqian.

But although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, but smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is an old saying in your country that 'don't tell lies in front of real people'. In fact, the purpose of Xiao Wang's visit this time is to borrow troops from your country, my country is being invaded by the big cannibals, my people are struggling under the butcher's knife of the big cannibals, Datang is the most powerful country on this continent, I hope to be able to get the support of Datang. ”

Belus almost gritted his teeth to finish the passage, and then closed his mouth, waiting to accept Li Chengqian's verbal humiliation.

He doesn't know how many times he has experienced this process, many countries that have had contact with Persia, after the destruction of Persia, are afraid of them, and some even if they can't avoid it, they will verbally ridicule him, a down-and-out prince.

But unexpectedly, after listening to his words, Li Chengqian didn't show any expression that embarrassed him, but just nodded slowly and said in a heavy tone: "This palace has long heard that the Great Food Country is expanding wildly, but I didn't expect it to have reached such a point, which is really embarrassing. For what happened to your country, this palace is deeply sympathetic! ”

There's a door! There's a door! Belus's eyes lit up instantly.

It was the first time he hadn't heard ridicule, the first time he had heard someone think the Great Cannibal was wrong, and the first time he had heard someone sympathize with him. It's not that he needs right now, but it's a good start, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Belus cheered up: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I ......"

"I know what you want, and I can tell you clearly, yes, as long as you have money, you can say anything." Li Chengqian didn't wait for Belus to finish speaking, and directly interrupted him, and at the same time beckoned to the guards standing outside.

Belus opened his mouth and looked at Arropo silently, and a million grass and mud horses were raging in his heart.

Sure enough, he was said by Yu Chi Baolin, and the prince of the Tang Dynasty is really a master who sees money.

Still, the weapons on the ground are really eye-catching.

The horizontal knife shining with cold light, the three-edged thorn glowing with jet-black light makes people's hearts palpitate, three-edged armor-piercing arrows, standard steel crossbows, combined bed crossbows, and individual plate armor...... The ordnance was there, and Belus drooled at it, and he wanted to pounce on it, and he held it all in his arms.

"How? Is the Prince of Belus satisfied? If not, we have a better one, but it's much more expensive. Li Chengqian looked at Belus with a smile, as if he was looking at a wronged man.

"No, no, no, that's enough, that's enough." Hearing the word 'money', Bruiston calmed down a lot and waved his hand again and again to express his satisfaction.

"Since His Royal Highness the Prince is satisfied...... Li Chengqian dragged out his voice and looked back at Yang Yuxin who was following behind him: "Xiaoyu, introduce the price to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Yes!" Yang Yuxin, who was dressed in a 42-style military uniform, looked particularly energetic, opened the briefcase she was carrying and pulled out a document from it, and the person also walked to the middle of a push of equipment piled on the ground.

"His Royal Highness Prince Belus, please look at this individual plate armor, this is the active standard equipment of the Tang Army, weighing twenty catties, which can defend against the close-range shooting of two stone bows, and can also provide effective defense against the close-range impact of the cavalry. The price is one hundred and fifty taels of silver. ”

"This combined bed crossbow is also a Datang standard equipment, and an experienced soldier can assemble it completely in two people within forty breaths, and complete aiming and excitation at the same time, and its attack power can reach the level of a ten-stone strong bow. The price is two hundred taels of silver. ”

"Standard steel crossbow, single-person operation, rally three stones and five stones, attack range of two hundred and fifty steps, can use ordinary crossbow arrows and three-edged armor-piercing arrows. The price is fifty taels and one aircraft. ”

……

The thing is a good thing, and it makes people greedy to look at, but with Yang Yuxin's introduction, the high price made Belus feel dry in his mouth, and even the power to swallow saliva was slowly dissipating.

He had an army of 50,000 under his command, and if they were all fully equipped, they would have required 1,750,000 taels of silver at the price of 350 taels of silver per man. This is still not counting the price of some heavy equipment and consumables, if you get some bed crossbows and three-edged armor-piercing arrows for consumption, it is estimated that you will not be able to get 20 million taels of silver at all.

What is the concept of 20 million taels of silver? According to the modern weight of about 1,000 tons, the volume is more than 100 cubic meters, with eight Steyr heavy trucks with a load of 120 tons in the front four and eight in the back, and it cannot be transported away without overloading.

But even so, Li Chengqian still didn't intend to let Berus go, and when Yang Yuxin returned behind him, he spoke again: "Prince Belus, equipment is dead, people are alive, and it is not possible to really fight a war by relying on equipment, so Datang can also provide you with mercenary services, with a pension of two hundred taels of silver per person, and the combat time is limited to one year, and the annual increase is one hundred taels for more than one year, of course, this does not include the price of equipment." ”

To die, to die. Belus no longer knows what language to use to describe Li Chengqian, it seems that the greed for money in Yu Chi Baolin's mouth is not enough to describe his terrible, this thing is simply a pervert, no, it is a super pervert.

Belus did not know what kind of soldier's pension could reach two hundred taels, and it would have to be increased by one hundred taels a year, and it was not counting the price of equipment, if it was included, it would have to be added at least another hundred taels.

This is no longer a sky-high price that can be described, after all, even the most powerful warrior's pension in Persia is enough to reach two gold coins, which is already a high price, and when converted into silver, it is twenty taels.

But in Datang, it cost two hundred taels. It's a full two hundred taels, you can buy ten fighters, and it's also a warrior with its own equipment.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, you, is your price too high? Two, two hundred taels of silver is enough to buy nearly a hundred slaves, and if we have so much money, we can buy enough slaves to serve as warriors. Shocked by Li Chengqian's sky-high asking price, Ah Luo regretted that he finally couldn't help it.

And in his opinion, Li Chengqian just didn't want to help them at all, and not only didn't want to help them, but he was still humiliating them.

Sure enough, A Luo's speech attracted Li Chengqian's attention, and he turned to him with a smile and asked, "You are General A Luo, right?" Do you think Hongu is playing tricks on you? ”

"Isn't it?" A Luo regret looked at Li Chengqian without fear.

As the so-called barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, anyway, Persia has already perished, and there is no hope for recovering the country.

"Alas" Li Chengqian sighed and glanced at Belus: "Your Royal Highness, do you think the same way?" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we don't have so much money right now, we can't afford to buy your equipment, and we can't afford to hire your soldiers." Belus is more tactful than Aro, but the meaning of his words is still sarcastic Li Chengqian knows that he has no money, but he still has to show off.

"Hmm!" Li Chengqian nodded, as if he didn't understand, but the smile on his face gradually converged, and he slowly spoke: "This palace is indeed asking for a price, and I don't plan to give you a chance to bargain, if you want equipment, then according to the price just now, if you want people, you must also come according to the price just now." ”

"Your people are human beings, Lao Tzu's people are also human beings, don't take money, don't take benefits, why should Lao Tzu let my soldiers go to sell your life to you? And how does Lao Tzu know that after giving things to you, will you turn around and beat Lao Tzu? Is there less of a white-eyed wolf in this world? ”

"We won't ......" Belus, who was startled by Li Chengqian's sudden turn of face, wanted to explain, but was quickly interrupted: "Don't tell Lao Tzu that it won't, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it!" In short, now in a word, Lao Tzu has no obligation to help you plainly, if you want equipment, you can buy it with money, and if you want soldiers, you also have to hire with money, and the rest is not to be discussed. ”

"And Lao Tzu told you, it's best not to be embarrassed, except for Lao Tzu, the entire Tang Dynasty can see you, you can try to find a second one!"

"Bang!" As Li Chengqian took the last sentence,
