After Wang Jian left, an old man raised the box containing the Xuanjia Army armor with one hand, inserted a black sword into his waist, and left with a smile.
Liu Bai stretched out his hand on the spot, his face full of frustration: "Old General, you can't do this! You are robbing and bullying!"
"Okay, stop howling. You can find someone for the position of deputy general. I'm too lazy to make twists and turns with you."
Wang Jian didn't even look back.
Liu Bai's superb acting skills were completely useless.
"Yeah! Okay!"
Upon hearing Wang Jian's words, Liu Bai nodded directly without any hesitation!
An old fox and a young fox, both sides changed their faces so fast that Mo Shan was frightened out of his wits!
What's going on here? how so?
Why did Mr. Liu suffer such a loss?
....
An hour later, Liu Bai took Mo Shan back to the prime minister's house.
Chen Ping happened to be drinking tea.
It is strange to say that this only son of a wandering background has no interest in food and even scorns fine wine.
Only Liu Bai's tea was the only one Chen Ping loved to the core of his being.
Liu Bai had every reason to suspect that after coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, this boy worshiped him because he smelled the fragrance of tea.
"Mr. Liu, isn't this about letting Gong go to General Wang?"
"The black armor of the Xuanjia Army, this is real money! Just the old general's set of resistance is worth three thousand dollars! And...the black armor of this stone, plus the people, and the chosen war horses. ..They all have to be the best!”
"The Xuanjia Army also has heavy cavalry, one person and three horses...according to calculations, the cost of one soldier alone is five thousand dollars!"
"Mr. Liu, if you open your mouth, you will take out five million yuan!"
"And...this credit belongs to General Wang!"
Mo Shan was so anxious that he was covered in sweat!
On the road, Liu Bai was riding in a carriage. One of his retainers insisted on distinguishing between superior and inferior and refused to get in the carriage.
After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mo Shan finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Give gong? Does the old general still need gong?"
"The old general took away the Xuanjia Army, and he was blocking it for me!"
Liu Bai walked up to Chen Ping very rudely, and the latter naturally handed him a cup of freshly brewed tea.
Liu Bai drank it all in one gulp. Instead of feeling unhappy, he felt as if his evil plan had succeeded.
"First of all, your number of five million is wrong!"
"Mo Shan, you are a real thief! You included the cost of the blast furnace and the cost of the early research and development of black armor into this armor, right?"
"The subsequent assembly line technology will be optimized, the blast furnace will be perfected, and the Xuanjia Army is an important weapon of the country. Your Majesty will definitely be tilted, and the raw materials will be cheaper."
"After calculation, it is estimated that one soldier only costs two thousand yuan."
Liu Bai laughed and cursed!
Don't tell me, this Mo Shan really looks like a profiteer.
The quote of five thousand dollars seems reasonable, but in fact, in industrial production, the scale effect is very important! (Uh... the unit cost of goods from large factories is lower than that from small factories. Is this easy to understand?)
Especially heavy industries like military industry!
Besides...this first piece of Xuanjia was made with great effort by Teacher Tou. Even the pattern was made to look like a work of art. Isn't it expensive?
According to Liu Bai's estimate, two million is enough to build a Xuanjia army!
And this Xuanjia Army... to put it bluntly, an infantry battle formation of less than 200,000 people cannot withstand two rounds of 1,000 people and will definitely collapse!
In front of this steel behemoth, flesh and blood is too fragile!
"But Liu Xiang...two million is really..."
Mo Shan's face tightened.
Two million...Why did Liu Gong say this number so easily?
However, before Mo Shan could say anything, Liu Bai interrupted him:
"If a person has a small heart, he will not be able to achieve success in this life!"
"I, Liu Bai, rose from the countryside to become a highly respected official today because I have always been willing to do things that others are not willing to do."
Liu Bai picked up the hot tea and rubbed it slightly with both hands.
The dense fragrance of tea makes people feel calm and their thoughts become clearer.
"First you have to suffer, then you can return to happiness!"
Liu Bai spoke lightly.
After saying these words, Mo Shan was slightly startled.
Chen Ping, who was making tea, slowly put down the tea set in his hand.
really...
This Prime Minister Liu has done too many things along the way.
Although it seems deviant, in fact, if you think about it carefully, there is really nothing that Liu Bai does for himself.
Trap and kill, surrender the pawn, and turn your back on the infamy! He is a literary figure, so why bother?
Killing the remnants of the Six Kingdoms even attracted Chi Lian to assassinate him! Raise your hand and gain a good reputation. Maybe in the future someone will show you your money as a filial piety?
As for killing Zhao Gao and destroying Zhao Party, that would be even more ridiculous! Obviously, as long as they collude, they can influence the establishment of the throne in the future and become a person who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
The two families of farmers and ink, the three-piece set of war horses, and even the profits of paper!
He, Liu Bai... did things that ordinary people wouldn't want to do, but they were really things that Great Qin needed to do!
Bitter first... then sweet!
Even Chen Ping was slightly disturbed by Liu Bai's remarks.
After saying this, Liu Bai took a careful sip of the tea in his hand.
Not to mention, Chen Ping is actually a self-taught genius in tea art?
"Snapped!"
Liu Bai gently put the tea cup back on the desk, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly:
"How the world sees me, it can be short-sighted or insulting, it doesn't matter."
"I tell you what I am, no matter whether it is plain or formal!"
After saying these words, Mo Shan immediately felt that his Mr. Liu had such a tall image!
In comparison, why do I look like a dirty little person who speculates on the thoughts of big people?
Although he is a giant of the Mohist family, he is as immature as a child in front of the power and plans of the court.
"Why are you so troubled by the Mohist giant?"
"Although Duke Liu is righteous, in fact... all of this is within Duke Liu's plan!"
"The greatest benefit lies not with General Wang, but with Mr. Liu!"
Chen Ping smiled slightly. Although he could not see anything, he could guess Mo Shan's embarrassment and low self-esteem based on the atmosphere at this moment.
"If what Chen Ping thinks is true, Liu Gong's money for building the Xuanjia Army comes from paper."
"In the past, although paper was used in the name of Juxian Hall, it made a lot of money and made a lot of money."
"But when the paper is sold at a low price, some people will definitely be angry with Liu Gong."
Chen Ping tapped his fingers on the desk slightly, understanding Liu Bai's thoughts very well:
"It's inappropriate for all the profits from paper to go into the national treasury! The court thinks that Mr. Liu is greedy for personal gain."
"Instead of letting them guess, it's better to take it generously!"
"And generously placed these privates into the Xuanjia Army!"
"And Prime Minister Liu is a minister of the Minister of Literature. If he rashly interferes in military affairs, he will be regarded as a powerful official."
"The old general took action just to protect Mr. Liu from the storm for a while."
"Stop the mouths of everyone in Youyou, gain His Majesty's trust, and build a strong army for our Great Qin."
"Killing three birds with one stone, are you still worried about Mr. Liu?"
Chen Ping spoke with a smile. At the end of the sentence, he actually got excited and clapped his hands slightly.
After saying these words, Mo Shan's eyes almost popped out!
He never thought that his Mr. Liu's casual behavior could have such a profound meaning?
Fortunately, he thought that his Mr. Liu was the poor man who was exploited by the hateful old general Wang!
However, at this moment... someone was so angry that he even slapped his thigh:
"What are you talking about! I am actually a military general! Do you understand? !! Military general! He has been in the military for a long time, and now the old general just doesn't want me to go too deep! This is a senior military officer vs. a new general. Cherish it! Do you understand? Do you understand? You know what a hammer is!"
