Originally, His Majesty Li Er was full of expectations for Su Chen's mithril light armor, but now the actual thing is even more to his liking!
Take a look at this lightness and hardness. It’s hard not to love Li Er after seeing it!
As an excellent military general, Li Er naturally has unique insights in military strategy, and the weapon he makes best use of is cavalry!
For example, in the battle with Dou Jiande during the Wude period, he relied on six thousand cavalry to defeat him and win!
There was also the Battle of Queer Valley, where Li Er relied on cavalry guerrilla warfare to achieve victory!
Even in the original history, when Li Er destroyed the Western Turks and Goguryeo, the cavalry played a vital role!
Therefore, for His Majesty Li Er, Su Chen's mithril light armor, which can improve the mobility and combat effectiveness of cavalry, is simply tailor-made for him!
"Old Li, how much do you think we need to add to match the power of this mithril light armor?" Su Chen asked with a smile.
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er's face fell.
Good boy, I asked you how much money you wanted to add, but you turned around and asked me. Do you want to challenge my bottom line?
"I think adding ten strings is enough. After all, it's not difficult to change the color." His Majesty Li Er said calmly.
He knew that Su Chen was clearly planning to kill him this time!
Although His Majesty Li Er still resists adding money in his heart, after all, he is now coveting Su Chen's armor. In order to equip all the troops with mithril light armor as soon as possible, he will bleed for a while!
Unexpectedly, after hearing this increase in money, Su Chen was actually dissatisfied. He shook his head and said, "Old Li, I think ten strings may not be enough."
What?!
Isn't this enough?!
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er almost couldn't help but question Su Chen sternly.
Just for changing the color, his willingness to add ten strings has already given Su Chentian a lot of face. After all, how much does it cost to change the color?
However, His Majesty Li Er must only dare to think about it in his mind and not dare to say it out loud.
"How about twenty guans?" His Majesty Li Er asked through gritted teeth.
"Not enough." Su Chen shook his head again.
"Why? This is not enough?!"
"Why don't you just change the color? As for spending so much money?"
Now, His Majesty Li Er couldn't sit still and felt that Su Chen had gone too far!
We had already negotiated a price of 100 guan for a set, but now he is asking such a high price. It is really unkind!
"Hey, Lao Li, that's wrong. Do you think I'm just changing the color of my armor?" Su Chen asked with a serious expression.
Is not it?
His Majesty Li Er and Changsun Wuji all looked at Su Chen sideways and wanted to ask him, don't you have any idea in your mind?
Looking a little embarrassed to show them, Su Chen coughed lightly and said: "Actually, I plan to improve the appearance of this armor by the way so that it can have better combat effects. Otherwise, I won't
Maybe I’ll ask you for money just because of a color!”
"No, no, actually, I feel like it's perfect as it is now, there's no need to keep striving for perfection." His Majesty Li Er said quickly, wanting to save a little more money for his treasury.
"No, Lao Li, you know what I do. I must pursue perfection in everything. I plan to officially name this armor Su Armor!"
"Anything with the word Su must be the best in the world, and there is no room for sloppiness!"
After hearing these words, His Majesty Li Er pinched his teeth.
Looking at Su Chen's posture, I'm afraid he is doomed this time!
"Okay, then be more relaxed and just tell me a number!"
After saying that, His Majesty Li Er stared directly into Su Chen's eyes, hoping to stop Su Chen from defrauding him of some money.
"Old Li, we must take a long-term view in life."
Su Chen took his time and asked seriously: "Let me ask you, how much is Datang's annual military expenditure now?"
"It probably accounts for more than half of the national treasury." His Majesty Li Er said truthfully.
"If I tell you that my mithril light armor can last for at least ten years without maintenance, and even if it is used in the wind and sun, it will not change at all and it will still look as new as before, then do you think I will charge an additional forty dollars?
It's not too much, right?" Su Chen said with a smile.
"Is this true?!"
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly became a little excited.
As a war madman, he is not stingy at all when it comes to military expenditures. As long as the army needs a lot of money, even if he is frugal, he will put the money together for it!
Therefore, he has actually lived quite a poor life in the past two years.
If this Mithril Bright Armor really has a perfect service life of ten years as Su Chen said, then it would be worth adding another hundred more!
His Majesty Li Er is a smart man, so he naturally knows how big the price difference is.
After weighing the pros and cons, he made a decision and decided to agree to Su Chen's asking price!
"Okay, then add forty more strings!"
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't stand it anymore.
Your Majesty, aren't you usually quite smart?
Why is it that every time I meet Su Chen, I am fooled around and manipulated by him...
"Old Li, actually you don't have to give me any copper coins." Su Chen suddenly said.
Um?
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows slightly.
Is it possible that this little money addict doesn’t like money anymore?
"What do you think of this?" His Majesty Li Er asked directly.
"What I mean is that you can exchange other items of equal value with me, such as jade, which I think is very good." Su Chen gradually revealed his true purpose.
jade?
His Majesty Li Er was stunned immediately.
How much is jade worth?
His Majesty Li Er asked very puzzledly: "What quality of jade do you need to meet your requirements?"
"I don't want some high-quality jade, just the kind with decent quality and no impurities." Su Chen said.
"Really?" His Majesty Li Er was immediately overjoyed.
Although his treasury does not have much money, he can get as much jade as he wants!
Anyone who is an emperor likes to collect all kinds of strange treasures, and the amount of jade is even more amazing!
"Um."
Su Chen nodded and said: "I have another requirement for these jade stones, that is, the bigger the better, preferably uncut rough stones."
The reason why Su Chen said this was because he planned to put his own jade building on the agenda!
He had tried to collect it himself before, but whether it was acquisition or excavation, the efficiency was not satisfactory.
That's why Su Chen negotiated with His Majesty Li Er in a roundabout way in order to collect enough jade as infrastructure materials at the best price!
