This was the first time that a few ancient men watched such lively and fragrant real-life clips. They were very interesting for a while, and the investment value was really unparalleled.

It was probably because of the substitute association while observing, and they all couldn't breathe even. Seeing the blushing and hot ears, Xiao Lu laughed secretly in his heart.

Confucius said, food, sex, nature, is true! As for the rest of what Zi said, Lu Yi saw that he could remember it was very pitiful, and probably felt that there was no need to waste his brain storage space for this.

A video was played quickly, and it seemed to be excellent. At least it brought everyone closer at once. It was obvious that they all felt that this was sharing some huge secret, and immediately felt much closer.

Lu Yi naturally had to give some advice. After seeing it, he saw it. Those present should not speak out to the public. Yes, yes, all the five of them understood it and agreed without mentioning it.

Xiao Lu strictly controlled the rhythm of tonight. At the moment, he was just absurd, and suddenly changed to the serious topic. Back to the topic, the topic returned to the plate armor and the iron armored chariot.

Xiao Lu's original idea was that, given that the board-arm project in the Mao-Team Special Zone plan was definitely not a good idea, but not a good idea in the Special Zone does not mean that there is no chance in the Song Dynasty court. The 21st century people led by Mao Geng can distinguish the pros and cons, but the Song Dynasty court may not be able to figure out the various things, so the project is still very promising.

Everyone here today seems to be very influential. Among them, Guo Ni and Wu Xi represent the opinions of the young and strong in the army, Guo Zhuo represents the court, and Su Shidan, as a staff member of Han Tuozhou, also has a good influence. As for Liu Guo, he can completely contribute to the fire in the media, so he has to make things clearer tonight.

Although the Mao Family Group has grown amazingly, after all, it started from scratch and is still in its growth period. It is not as good as Zhao Xing who has accumulated for many years. The copper coins originally planned to be used for the Northern Expedition in the national treasury were piled up like mountains, at least several million chunks. It is said that the ropes used to string money were corrupted. In the eyes of Lao Qiu and Xiao Lu, the money was idle and was better than to use it to develop projects. The plate armor project is very good. The plate armor combines "beauty" and "strong" into one, and it should really become the standard armor of the Song Dynasty ace army, which can at least promote domestic demand! Lu Yijian went further and hoped that even the iron armor chariot project would be successfully established.

Lu Yijian thought the data was the most convincing, so he pointed:

"Please calculate the accounts. Taiwan and Xiayi Island have helped the court to raise and digest 20,000 fang troops, and then they can digest at least 30,000 fang troops. The court has fewer fang troops, so they save a lot of money! Raising an imperial guard is 200 jin a year, and a fang army is about 80 jin. A fang army costs about 20,000 jin, saving 1.6 million jin a year. The most expensive armor is 40 jin a pair. Even if the cost of plate armor doubles, it is only 80 jin. The money and food saved by the 20,000 jin a year is enough to make 20,000 jin a pair of plate armor. This is still the money and food saved by the 20,000 jin a year. Calculately, 50,000 people, and five years, how much money and food can be saved! Not to mention plate armor, even if the iron armor chariot is more than enough."

Of course, the people here know how expensive it is to raise soldiers in the Song Dynasty. The taxes in the Song Dynasty are mainly used to raise soldiers. Military expenditure accounts for more than 70% of the taxes, and the annual military expenditure is at least 60 to 70 million. You should know that the concept of raising a soldier in the Song Dynasty is to provide food and accommodation. What is the concept of raising a soldier in the Song Dynasty? It is not just a person who can provide accommodation for Dabing, but a family of Dabing. The cost of raising a soldier in the Song Dynasty is 80 guan, and 10,000 guan is 800,000 guan. Moreover, the xiang army in the Song Dynasty is basically a lifetime profession. Even if you have less than five years, the money saved by 50,000 guan in five years is 20 million guan. It is really an astronomical figure.

I don’t know if it’s enough to build a tank of 2,000 jin. I can’t build a gasoline engine and diesel engine tank. Steam tanks are OK. Anyway, steam tanks have been built in history, and even steam fire-breathing tanks have been built by man. With the consistent purchasing power of this era, ten jin can buy brick and tile houses of about ten square meters. It seems that ten jin can be equivalent to the thousands or tens of thousands of yuan in later generations. If this calculation is made, it’s estimated that one thousand jin can be built.

When I heard this, yes, the Xiang army has been transferred on Taiwan and Xiayi Island for more than a year. The court saved a lot of money and was developing towards elite troops.

Wu Xi's ancestors were famous generals of the Song Dynasty. Of course, he knew that the Song Dynasty's sporting wing army was just a means to accommodate hungry people to prevent civil unrest. He could not fight at all. The war was not enough. The few elite soldiers could fight, and the truly elite soldiers were only around 100,000. If there were only eighty-tenths of plate armor, it would be no problem to each of these 100,000 elite soldiers.

But can eighty silos really make that kind of plate armor?

"Qi'an, what kind of enamel is on this plate armor? It is strong and beautiful. I wonder how much it costs. This whole pair of iron armor must be made into this difficult shape one by one. I guess it will cost a lot. Qi'an, I haven't drunk too much today. If you told me that this plate armor will take two hundred stalemates, I don't doubt it."

When Liu Guo heard this, he said:

"The eighty-pointed stakes that Qi'an said must be good. Hasn't the country of Ha Tang built such plate armor long ago? Some tips may not be known to us, and maybe they don't have eighty-pointed stakes! I've been reading the new work written by Chen Liang recently. No, it's a new work written by Chen Liang and Long Jiu. It's about a self-propelled iron ship at the sea and a flying iron bird in the sky. There is no impossible, nothing is possible."

Haha, the advertising slogans of later generations actually came from Liu Guozhi today. They deserved to be a pen to make a living. Xiao Lu held back his smile and said seriously:

"If the court is willing to bid for 80 guan to buy plate armor, I will say arrogantly that I can still make more than ten guan. If a few people believe me, it will be profitable to invest and build the plate armor together. Or, as the example of mining Yongping copper ore, the imperial court holds the shares, please bring me Lu to invest together, build the plate armor first, and then build the iron armor chariot. How about it?"

Lu Yi had already calculated the cost with Lao Qiu before. Of course, it was not possible to use manual construction to reduce the cost. If it was made by hand, it would probably cost one or two hundred pipes, but if all the plate-armor components were stamped with molds, the cost would drop sharply.

As for enamel technology, the technical content is not high. In history, Europe developed cast iron enamel in the early 19th century, and steel plate enamel technology was basically mature in the mid-19th century, which shows that there is no technical difficulty. You must know that Europe has never found a trick in firing ceramic technology. In the 18th century, it was not until Europe that it fired real ceramics. In China, firing ceramics and ceramic glazing have been a cabbage technology in the Song Dynasty. Xiao Lu firmly believed that it only needed to remind me a little that ceramic practitioners in the Song Dynasty could tinker with enamel products.

The material is low-carbon steel plate. The Mao Group has produced it. The price is quite high, but the material cost is only twelve chunks. In fact, it is OK to cook iron plates. The Mao Group's rolled iron plates are relatively cheaper, and the materials are not enough for seven chunks. As for presses and molds, it should be considered as fixed asset investment. It will be amortized slowly. If the output exceeds 10,000 yuan, a pair of plate armor will be amortized very much. In addition to labor costs, it is estimated that the cost of cooked iron enamel plate armor will be within 22 chunks, and the cost of low-carbon steel enamel plate armor will not exceed thirty chunks.

In this way, even if the transaction is at the most expensive armor price in the Song Dynasty, the price of 40 knots can be made, it will be at least 10 knots.

Lu Yi thought to himself that it would be best if he could escape the battlefield tomorrow if he could become an industrialist. Then he would produce plate armor and iron armored chariots. Being the munition king is much better than being a general who sacrifices his life to bet on tomorrow.

Considering that it is a military weapon market after all, the investment and procurement of the imperial court are necessary, and if you attract some people from the Song Dynasty with backgrounds to invest, funds and markets are not a problem. Is technology? Xiao Lu feels that it is not difficult to rely on his insights in the 21st century and his brilliant mind.

When Xiao Lu even further introduced the method of private joint ventures by mining officials, Wu Xi was moved first, because he was confused about being a shareholder of Sanlu makeup powder overnight, which made Wu Xi's gambling spirit rise again. Su Shidan also felt that his planner Han Tuozhou should also participate in the stakes, and Guo Ni naturally had the idea of ​​getting a share, but the matter of choosing plate armor in the Song army was still not a single word!

Only Liu Guo had no capital, but he was most enthusiastic about the great cause of the Northern Expedition and highly praised the plate-armored project, which was both majestic and highly protective. He immediately expressed his desire to promote this project. Of course, he did not forget the iron armored chariot. Liu Guo even thought, would he invite Lu Yijian to work together to write a popular science fiction novel, focusing on the iron armored chariot, which is probably of great benefit to the early creation of the iron armored chariot.

The most important thing is that the court must agree, so everyone here unanimously agrees to open up the joints of the court through their own channels, so that they can get a share of the pie, or just based on the ideal of the Northern Expedition, Liu Guo is such a person. In order to realize his dream, Liu Guo is the only one who has no interest demands. Speaking of which, this is worthy of praise for both literary and angry young people.

Two days later, Mao Geng was full of murmurs saying the benefits of plate armor.

Originally, Mao Geng had explained to Zhao Han that it was better to build a plate armor than a fish scale armor. Although the plate armor was good-looking and powerful, it was difficult to manufacture and invested heavily, and the battlefield effect was not necessarily very good. In short, the cost-effectiveness was not as good as the fish scale armor. Zhao Han had always respected Mao Geng before, but this time, even Zhu Xi also praised the plate armor, which played a role in Zhao Han. In addition, Su Shidan's tendency significantly affected Han Tuozhou, and Han Tuozhou was also keen to promote the plate armor project. Zhao Han felt that the fish scale armor and the plate armor had their own advantages, so he summoned Mao Geng and said seriously:

"Mao Geng, I heard that the plate armor is popular in the country of Ha Tang. I have seen this plate armor, which is really good. Even Zhu Xi praised that plate armor. I think it is worse than this. It is also made of fish scale armor and plate armor. If you consider that the cost of plate armor is too high, you can only make less. But no matter what, the elites of the Song Dynasty should wear plate armor that is both 'beautiful' and 'strong'."

"Duke, the problem is that this plate armor is not only very inconvenient to wear, but also very inconvenient to transport. The plate armor takes up too much space. A four-wheeled carriage can transport fifty sets of fish scale armor. I am afraid that even ten sets of plate armor will not be able to transport it. If the carriage is inconvenient to travel, it will be quite difficult to carry it."

The armor is only worn when it starts to start a war. If you wear armor when you march, the physical strength of the warriors will be exhausted and you will not be able to fight when they arrive on the battlefield. Therefore, the armor is only worn during combat. Compared with the convenience of transportation and wear, the plate armor is really stupid. Mao Geng thought to himself that it will soon enter the age of hot/weapons. Armor is useless in front of bullets, so why is it too much to do with this plate armor?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Han said coldly:

"Mao Geng, I thought you were a honest person, but you actually concealed something from my Duke!"

"Duke, please make it clear. What did I hide?"

"Fuck the ground!"

Mao Gengxin said it was broken.
Chapter completed!
