"How much?" Han Xi's head was buzzing.
Sixty taels?
You must know that a bird gun only costs nine taels of silver, a better Rumi gun only costs one tael and one silver, a pair of cotton armor costs only 2 taels of silver, and iron armor only costs four taels.
"Sixty taels, this is just the cost of production, and there are also more than ten taels of maintenance costs every year." Ahai struck again.
"Hehe, hehehe," Han Xidu started to giggle.
I'm afraid these seventy taels can support three or four cavalrymen.
Han Xi stopped his smile and asked the doubt in his heart: "Why is this gun so expensive?"
"Due to the lack of tools and the unfamiliar skills of craftsmen, there will be a lot of waste products when carving spiral rifling in the barrel. Once these craftsmen become more skilled, the cost may be reduced, but without suitable tools, the output cannot be increased." Ah Hai explained.
"Yeah!" Han Xi nodded and seemed to understand what Ah Hai said, but his head was confused. He only knew that this gun was expensive and could not be mass-produced.
"How much lower can the cost be without the so-called rifle?" Han Xi suddenly asked.
Ah Hai pondered for a moment and finally said: "It's about five taels of silver, but if you do this, the accuracy and range of the gun will be greatly reduced."
Now Han Xi understood that the most expensive thing was the spiral rifle.
After thinking about it, one stroke costs sixty taels, and ten thousand strokes is only six hundred thousand taels.
If converted into gold, it would be sixty thousand taels.
This is a matter of six days of training. Thinking of this, Han Xi waved his hand and said: "If you build it in this way, can you make fifty poles for me during spring plowing?"
Ahai thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Just as Han Xi and his party were testing the guns, a scent wafted from the village.
It's time to eat.
The laborers who were digging the reservoir stopped what they were doing and piled their tools together.
A group of more than two thousand people was divided into four circles.
One group is former bandits who became villagers, one group is prisoners of officers and soldiers, and the other two groups are prisoners of township braves from each village and those from the county.
This is a rare break at noon while waiting for a meal.
After waiting for a while, he saw several imperial soldiers coming over carrying several baskets full of pancakes, followed by several women carrying several wooden barrels.
"It's time to eat, everything is arranged." One of the soldiers shouted.
When they heard that they were about to eat, everyone gathered together. The original four circles turned into two large circles, and they saw these people sitting in rows in a shed.
There is a passage in the middle.
Two soldiers carried the basket, one was responsible for distributing pancakes, and the other had two pieces of pancakes. Instead of the prisoners having a bowl of broth to warm themselves, the prisoners only had two pieces of pancakes and a bowl of water.
There were six teams of people sharing the food.
Food for everyone can be distributed in two quarters of an hour.
There are soldiers watching around, and you are not allowed to move around while eating. You can only sit where you are and eat. After eating, you can leave the shed to rest for half an hour and then continue working.
In a corner of the shed, a man was eating pancakes and asked in a low voice: "Have you discovered anything?"
The short man next door was chewing a thick flour pancake and replied in a low voice: "During this period, apart from digging ditches and picking up rocks, we are not assigned to dig."
"That's not what the elder wants to know." The tall man whispered.
"People here are keeping a close eye on us. It's hard for us prisoners to move around. You bring some money and I'll bribe a few people from the village to see if I can get any information." The short man looked around and said.
"I will talk to the master about this, but I hope you can find some useful information. Yes, your wife gave birth to a baby with a baby." The tall man stuffed a piece of pancake into his mouth and walked out of the shed. .
The short man's eyes flickered, and finally he looked leisurely at the back of the tall man, wondering what he was thinking.
late at night.
Han Xi lay in bed and looked through the system. There were no women playing shy games at night, so he could only play the system as a mobile phone.
After a month of hard work, the system now has 330,000 imperial coins, which would be 330,000 taels in silver.
Unfortunately, these imperial coins cannot be converted into silver.
If I have too many imperial coins, I always want to order something.
At this time, Han Xi thought about what he lacked and pondered for a moment.
Well, I feel like I don’t lack anything. I have good food, warm clothes, and strong soldiers.
Um! It seems that there is not enough toilet paper, and I don’t know when the matchmaker will come over.
Thinking about it, Han Xi grabbed an ice cube potato, turned it into a cake and ate it.
Today, one hundred acres of potatoes were dug out and totaled 2,120 stones. Now they were all piled in the courtyard, as high as the earthen house where Han Xi lived.
After taking a bite of cake, Han Xi ordered a fur trader who only wanted one thousand gold coins.
Not long after Han Xi ordered the fur trader, suddenly, a woman called softly from outside: "General, have you rested?"
Han Xi listened carefully and found out that Xiaolan, who was serving him food and drinks, was a peasant in the empire, and he had pointed him out as a managerial talent.
The levels of management talents in the system are divided into village level, township level, town level, county level, state level, prefecture level, provincial level, national level and imperial level.
The upper limit of village-level management population is ten people, and one zero will be added for each subsequent level.
Military talents are also divided into levels, namely small flag, general flag, hundred generals, thousand generals, garrison, guerrilla, staff general, deputy general, and general soldier.
The small banner has ten men, the general banner is fifty, the hundred is one hundred, the thousand is one thousand, the garrison is two thousand and five, the guerrilla is five thousand, the general is ten thousand, the lieutenant is twenty thousand, and the total soldiers are fifty thousand.
The initial level up only costs ten empire coins, and every subsequent level up will double the empire coins.
A general soldier only costs 5,110 imperial coins, which is not very expensive.
Han Xi got up and opened the door, only to see Xiaolan waiting respectfully outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Han Xi asked.
Xiaolan turned sideways and saw a short and fat figure behind him. The short and fat figure bowed respectfully when he saw Han Xi.
"General, this man said you asked him to come here to buy furs." Xiaolan said from the side.
Han Xi was stunned at first, but soon thought that he had ordered a fur trader with a thousand imperial coins.
"Are you selling furs or buying furs?" Han Xi asked curiously.
"Hahaha! Of course I am buying furs. This is the list of goods I brought. Please take a look." The short and fat fur trader said with a smile.
Han Xi took the booklet and opened it to read.
Tea, silk, cotton, sugar, honey, wine, paper, musk, agarwood, rhinoceros horn, ivory, sulfur, iron...
Han Xi flipped through the pages for a long time before finishing the book. There were hundreds of products in it.
There are many things that Han Xi wants, such as paper, ginseng, kerosene lamps, the secrets of the house...
"What are the prices of these things?" Han Xi asked.
