Chapter 27 Sky-high transaction
At this time, Luo Tian was quite happy, but there was no trace of his face. He said to Lei Li calmly: "To be honest, this little nephew in the black iron metal and stone is still some. Although the number is not large, I think it is more than enough to equip the army of tens of thousands of people."
Luo Tian was definitely not talking nonsense. Although the number of black iron metal and stones he got was not too many, and could be transported back with just twenty Luo family servants, if these black iron metal and stones were used as auxiliary materials to refine weapons, tens of thousands would certainly be more than enough.
When Lei Li heard this, his face suddenly changed, and his original joy deepened again. He originally thought that such precious things could be as large as thousands of people. Unexpectedly, Luo Tian actually told him that he could equip tens of thousands of people at this time.
"Uncle Lei Shi, my nephew, thought that if there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers who could be equipped with black iron and metal weapons, it would definitely be a steel army of our Great Shang Dynasty. At that time, the iron hooves of this army would definitely travel throughout the continent, so that those who insulted us, the Great Shang Dynasty would have no place to stand. In that case, who else would dare to invade the Great Shang Dynasty?"
Although the Luo family was exterminated in the previous life, as a great merchant, Luo Tian also had a unique feeling for the great merchant, so what he said just now was all heartfelt words.
Although Lei Li was a general holding the power, he still had the unique passion of soldiers in his bones. Luo Tian’s last sentence, who else dared to invade the Great Shang Dynasty, could be said to be a true story in his heart.
"Are you serious?" Lei Li's surprise on his face was gloomy and he looked at Luo Tian with an incredible gaze, waiting for Luo Tian to make sure again.
A sharp expression revealed everything he thought in his heart. Luo Tian knew everything he thought, but he didn't care at all.
"How dare I say something here? Please rest assured, it is absolutely true."
Of course, in Lei Li's heart, he didn't believe Luo Tian at all. It was just that what Luo Tian said was beyond his expectations, which made him so eager to make sure, and even lose his composure this time.
At this time, Lei Li also realized the inappropriateness in his words and smiled and said, "There is no other meaning in this word, so what is the black iron metal and stone?"
Lei Li also understands people. Since Luo Tian came here, he definitely did not take the initiative to give these black iron metal and stones to the court. After all, even he did not have such a big deal, let alone Luo Tian. His words at this time were the main topic today.
"Uncle Lei Shi, I am not intimidated. My nephew came here today to do a deal with the court and sell the black iron metal to the court." Luo Tian's face was calm, his face had not changed at all, and he looked directly at Lei Li and said.
Since the topic has been discussed, Luo Tian certainly won’t be a little cowardly. After all, what he wants to do next is to seek the greatest benefit for himself.
Luo Tian's straightforwardness made Lei Li a little surprised, but instead he showed joy. He fought from the battlefield and felt a sense of disgust in his bones towards those artificial people. Luo Tian's straightforwardness was undoubtedly the most suitable taste for him. His love for Luo Tian deepened again at this moment.
Lei Li's lips were slightly opened, his eyes were slightly curled, and his pupils were slightly worried. He looked at Luo Tian meaningfully and said, "Xiao Tian, as the confidant of Wu Xin's old thief, Marquis Yongle was demoted because of you. With his character of black beads, he will definitely be unfavorable to your Luo family. I think you know it too. You are here to find me, the old man, and want to discuss this deal with the court through me, is it?"
The thunder and sharpness stopped and stopped talking, but looked at Luo Tian, obviously waiting for Luo Tian to take his words.
From his sharp expression, Luo Tian understood that the worries were definitely from the heart, and there was no sign of pretending, so he also opened his heart.
"The uncle has already talked so well, and the little nephew does not hide it. Since the old thief Wu Xin of Dingguo Duke, my Luo family has been provoked, there is no way out. Even if my Luo family shows goodwill to him and favors him, it may not be able to relieve his anger. Moreover, as a man of the Luo family, I will never do such a slander and flattery, so I can only try to compete with him. This batch of black iron and stones are my nephew's bargaining chips."
A sense of heroism suddenly emanated from Luo Tian's body. Luo Tian was completely different from him before.
Lei Li was shocked by Luo Tian's words, and after a moment of stagnation, he nodded as if he suddenly realized, and then used his hand to thrust a white beard and said with a smile, "If I was not wrong, the wealth exchanged for this black iron and metal stone would probably be used on the subordinates of Shanxin Hou."
The three words "Shen Xinhou" entered Luo Tian's ears, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. He looked at Lei Li carefully. The discussions with the Sui Xinhou would definitely not be known to others. However, Lei Li said it in one sentence, and a hint of suspicion arose in his heart.
Although Lei Li was a military general, he had lived in the officialdom for many years and knew a lot about observing words and expressions. Otherwise, there would never be a foothold in this officialdom, let alone an official position below one person and above ten thousand people.
"The Marquis of Confidence has been reported to the emperor many times, but he has been deducted by the old thief Wu Xin. His previous nephew said the word "battle chip". I think it is the military salary of Confidence?"
Lei Li said this very well, and he could be said to have convinced Luo Tian’s words. Although Lei Li was a rough man, his meticulousness made Luo Tian feel a little embarrassed. The doubts in his heart disappeared under this sentence.
Luo Tian had no intention of telling Lei Li about the Trustee Marquis before, but he did not expect that he would tell him in one sentence. He had no choice but to be honest and said: "Uncle Lei Shishi is really smart. He can guess the facts from his words. I really admire him."
Faced with Luo Tian's calmness, Lei Li first smiled slightly, and then his face, which was full of vicissitudes of life, suddenly became particularly sharp, with his five fingers together and straight out of the table.
As he slapped the table with his palm, he said harshly: "Nephew Luo Shishi, Wu Xin, has been evil for many years, has been corrupt and abused the law, harmed his colleagues and harmed the people. I have long wanted to bring him to justice, but he has many gangs and never left any traces of his work. He has never had any countermeasures for him. Now your Luo family is also targeted by him. I, the old man, can still make the decision for the court in this transaction, and I will talk to you."
From Lei Li's voice, Luo Tiancai understood why General Lei in his previous life would protect the Luo family so much, in addition to those who were in love, he also had such intentions. This is in line with the old saying: The enemy's enemy is his friend.
"Boe Lei Shi, then how high do you think the imperial court will buy my Xu Xuan iron metal and stone?" Lei Li had already said this, and of course Luo Tian would not procrastinate and asked directly.
Lei Li laughed and looked at Luo Tiandao: "Don't worry, since I, the old man, can be the leader of the court, you will definitely not suffer any loss. If it is true as you said, the price of this batch of black iron metal and stone will definitely satisfy you, and it will even exceed your expectations."
Lei Li stretched out his palm, separated his five fingers, placed them in front of Luo Tian, and smiled slightly.
This gesture was of course a price to Luo Tian. Although he knew with his vague memories that the mysterious iron metal was purchased by the court in his previous life, he still didn't know the specific price. He didn't know the units behind him as Lei Li's five fingers.
Luo Tian raised his eyebrows slightly and tried to ask, "Five hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Lei Li did not answer Luo Tian’s words, but just shook his head slightly, and the smile on his lips became stronger.
The 500,000 taels of silver that Luo Tian said was enough to fulfill the promise of the trustworthy Hou Xiaohan, and his sharp reaction was obviously a denial of Luo Tian's words.
The suspicion on Luo Tian's face unconsciously appeared. "Since it's not 500,000, is it 5 million?" This idea flashed through Luo Tian's mind, but his reason told him that 5 million is unlikely. After all, 5 million silver is enough to re-equip a lion of hundreds of thousands of people. It is not comparable to those small military pay. Would the court be willing to spend so much finance to create only weapons for tens of thousands of people?
However, except for five million, Luo Tian could not imagine other prices. Five hundred thousand had been denied, and the price of fifty thousand was only a small fortune and was not worthy of the value of this batch of black iron metal stones, so Luo Tian directly ignored them.
Unexpectedly, Luo Tian could only bite his teeth and asked in an extremely low voice: "Is it five million?"
It seemed to be thrusting Luo Tian's appetite. This time, Luo Tian asked, Lei Li did not react at all, which made Luo Tian feel a little unsure.
But after a moment, Lei Li laughed, patted Luo Tian on the shoulder, and said without any airs, "That's right, it's just five million!!"
