Chapter 49 Zhu Chongjiu sells armor

"Good armor, good armor!" Everyone cheered louder and louder when they saw this. Who would be so stupid that they stood there and were stabbed by others three times in a row? Once a mistake, the winner was decided. A person wearing such a piece of plate armor would be like two more lives out of thin air!

Zhu Bashiyi felt that it was still not satisfying enough. In the resentful eyes of everyone, he pointed his hand at the plate armor and shouted loudly again, "Ivan, go, take the knife and chop it hard until it is cut through!"

"Yes!" Ivanov was a destructive maniac. He happily carried a Park Knife and rushed to the wooden stake. He rushed towards the flame position on the plate armor, and was distracted and stabbed.

The tip of the "Ding" knife was slipped away, leaving a long scratch on the plate armor. However, it was very shallow and it took great effort to pierce it.

"Hey!" Ivanov was unwilling to give up, so he crossed the knife and swept it hard at the chest of the plate armor. "Dang lang", Mars splashed, and the blade left a very ugly mark on the plate armor, but it only cut through a small piece of the length of the finger, which could not cause fatal injuries at all.

"Impossible!" Ivanov screamed in anger, jumped up, and chopped his head. "Crack" this time, he finally succeeded. Park knife slashed the shoulder of the plate armor, penetrated several inches deep, and then broke into two pieces with a "clang".

"Good armor, good armor!" Everyone clapped and cheered like a tsunami collapse.

Zhu Bashiyi didn't expect that the defense of this plate armor had reached such a perverted level, and he was extremely excited. However, when he thought about it, he understood that Guan Qiao had all the big swords and spears that everyone took out of the workshop were made by blacksmiths by hand before the water hammer was made. In order to equip the troops as soon as possible, those swords and spears, not to mention hundreds of refining or thousands of refining, probably not even ten refining. In addition, the previous iron smelting was made of lignite instead of coke, so how could the swords and spears made had strong attack power?!

However, the equipment in the hands of the Mengyuan soldiers at present cannot be refined hundreds of times. Therefore, taking this plate of armor on the battlefield will definitely double the soldiers' survival ability. Thinking of this, he stepped forward and pushed Ivanov away, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's try it here. The new armor will be played later, and you and Hong San will take a piece of it first."

"Thank you, thank you, Governor! Thank you, Governor!" Ivanov was overjoyed and followed Zhu Bashiyi like a little puppy, staring at the broken plate armor reluctantly, refusing to leave.

Zhu Bashiyi smiled, raised the plate armor, and observed carefully in the sunlight. Due to the arc shape, the protective power of the abdomen and chest was far greater than the large leaf armor worn by the Rakshasa people. However, above the shoulders, the effect was slightly worse because they could not find effective means of removing force. However, it was not difficult for craftsmen to improve. They immediately took two narrow iron plates cold forged with water hammer this morning, one on the left and one on the right, and put them on the shoulders of the plate armor, which was considered to have taken double-layer protective measures.

"Plate these two shoulder pads with bronze, how beautiful it is!" Zhu Bashiyi pointed to the shoulder pads and smiled and told Lian Laohei. "Go and do it now, and then wait for Mr. Su to make the second set, put it together with the helmet and neck armor to see what it looks like in the end!"

"Yes!" Lian Laohei agreed excitedly, picked up his shoulder pads to deal with it. The other craftsmen and soldiers surrounded Zhu Bashiyi, holding the broken treasure armor, and walked towards the water hammer by the river.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were spoken, they were immediately scolded.

"Twenty slogans, but the cowhide and armor are still sold for fifteen slogans?"

"That's right, a few days ago in the city, a piece of iron armor sold for thirty cents. In a blink of an eye, it fell into the hands of Liu Qianhu, the back army, and the price was not paid!"

"What's the point of Zhajia? The owner of Wujiazhuang, North Bank, bought a piece of fine steel fish scale armor to give gifts the same year ago. It is said that it cost a full hundred coins! What's worse than the fish scale armor? Why is it sold for twenty coins?!"

"This, this?" Yu Changlin blushed suddenly, not knowing what to say. The iron armor and the fish scale armor are indeed very expensive. Although he is a scholar, he has been buying saltpeter for the Red Turban Army for several months, and has long been aware of the market. However, the iron armor and the fish scale armor are all knocked out with iron hammers, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Especially the latter, more than 400 pieces of fish scale-like armor leaves are knocked out and connected with copper wire. Even skilled craftsmen have to work for four or five months to get one. And the plate armor in front of him is only two or three hours, how can it be sold as expensive as the fish scale armor?

Just as he was embarrassed, Zhu Bashi said loudly again, "Don't make a noise, don't make a noise, just do what Yu Zongjun said, "The breastplate is only sold for twenty silos!"

"High-minded position, low-minded position" Yu Changlin felt more and more blushing when he heard this, he clasped his fists and kept apologizing to Zhu Bashiyi. "I've said something wrong, please, please ask the governor to forgive me, forgive me."

He thought he had a random idea and made the governor unable to get out of Taiwan, so he was so angry that he sold the plate armor at a low price. Unexpectedly, Zhu Bashiyi waved his hand and continued to say loudly: "I'm sorry for what sin? I asked you, you answered. What's the matter if you said it wrong? Besides, you are not wrong. I'll sell this breastplate for twenty cents!"

After saying that, regardless of whether the craftsmen protested or not, they immediately turned their heads to Mr. Su, "Old Su, tomorrow you will send someone to the city to open a shop and put the spearheads, swords, and other cold-forged ones we have today, and sell them together with armor. A set is specially placed at the door so that customers can try it first and then buy it. The breastplate is only twenty stags. The rest."

He quickly glanced at the parts of the armor, and he added casually, "The helmet is fifteen silos, twelve silos of leggings, neck armor, arm armor and shin guard are all priced ten silos. As for the two shoulder pads, they will not be sold. Whoever buys all the sets will give him two shoulder pads for free. No matter how many sets are made every day, they only sell three sets. If you want more, let them ask you to negotiate customization by yourself. Each set will be charged with a consistent rush fee, pay first, and then pick up the goods, and you will not be owed credit!"

"Ah!" Not only Yu Changlin was stunned, but also Mr. Su and all the craftsmen and soldiers around him were stunned on the spot. First, he thought the governor asked for a low price, so it was not low. It was simply a stance to grab money on the street! Even if he grabbed money, he had never seen anyone snatched so righteously in broad daylight!

Zhu Bashiyi had no awareness of robbery at all, shook his head full of sweat stains and continued, "Merge all the large Rakshasa leaves armor seized, make this kind of plate armor. Don't make it too fancy if we keep it for ourselves, just put linen cloth inside and wear it comfortably. Anyone who takes out for food is the more gorgeous, the better. What kind of bronze and brass should be fully plated. Anyone who has cheap pearls, agate, etc., has a little inlaid on the helmet. It must be that the armor looks high-end, atmospheric, and high-end. You have to think about it. Those who are willing to spend twenty cents to buy breastplate will definitely not mind spending dozens of cents to pair with helmets and leggings. As long as you can sell three sets of armor every day, the money for the brothers will be settled!"
