Range? I believe it! They have all disappeared. Who knows how far it can shoot? I didn’t expect that this dignified three-year-old infantry commander and an ordnance supervisor turned out to be a layman...
Even though Asler and others did not dare to compliment Li Qi's archery skills, and even despised him, they could not say anything else. They applauded and praised: "Good archery skills, good archery skills. Supervisor's arrow shot was really cool."
It’s elegant and extremely agile, it’s a feast for our eyes.”
Another person nodded and said: "That's right, that's right. With the supervisor's archery skills, he can take someone's head from a hundred steps away. It's really a blink of an eye. I admire it! I admire it!"
Chic? Elegant? Still a hundred steps away? Even five steps away is hard! Ma Qiao, a fool, was a little confused. He looked at Asler and others with his mouth curled up, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Good guy, the picture of this horse is really like a textbook. Li Qi waved his hand and said modestly: "Where, where, everyone is laughing."
What a shame!
Seeing that Li Qi was accepting it calmly, Asler immediately spoke up!
As someone who has been here, Gao Qiu couldn't stand it anymore, but he couldn't understand what Li Qi was doing. He had already agreed that he would only sell used weapons, not for sale, but now Li Qi took out
He was a little confused, but he knew that Li Qi was not the one who made the target. He smiled and said: "Mr. Asler, why don't you try it too."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The Uighur envoys began to imitate Li Qi in handling the charging crossbow, and soon they mastered the key. Their hands were itchy for a while, and they fired at the beams outside the door.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Buzz!
All hit, except suspected cases.
This is not to say that their archery skills are very good, but at such a close distance and the target is so big, missing it is as difficult as Li Qi trying to hit it.
Damn it! No, I shoot at pillars, and you shoot at them too. You clearly don’t give me face! Li Qi clicked his tongue a few times, and then said: "You guys are really good at archery, haha, but my pillars are thousands of years old."
Made of ancient wood, this one is probably worth five or six thousand guan! Otherwise, I would have shot it in the first place."
This is nothing like extortion!
A thousand-year-old tree? Five or six thousand strings?
Asler and others were so frightened that they almost dropped their assault crossbows on the ground.
Show off in front of me. If Brother Qiu hadn't been here, I would have tricked you to death. Li Qi changed the topic and said: "But I have long wanted to replace this pillar. It is too old and has no sense of security. Thank you very much."
Give me a reason to redecorate."
When Asler and others met Li Qi, who was so timid, they dared not say anything and nodded awkwardly.
This kid can really scare people to death! Gao Qiu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What do you think of this charging crossbow?"
Asler was startled for a moment, came to his senses, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, this assault crossbow is really nothing to say. It is very good for both cavalry and infantry. I just don't know the price of this assault crossbow?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "You are all my friends from the Song Dynasty. I won't tell you your price. I think you all know that even an ordinary military bow costs four guan. The cost of this crossbow is eight guan. And then
Including labor costs, ten guan is really not less, but if we sell it, we divide it into large pieces and small pieces, one thousand pairs for large pieces and five hundred pairs for small pieces. Since it is out of the box, we also guarantee it.
One year, as long as there is unintentional damage, the warranty is guaranteed.”
Asler frowned and said, "I think it's still a bit too expensive."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Well, well, if you think it's expensive, just pretend that I didn't tell you. To be honest, this was developed and our Song Dynasty army has not prepared it yet."
Asler did not expect that Li Qi, who was very happy just now, would refuse so firmly. He couldn't make up his mind for a while and started discussing with his companions.
You people are really greedy, you really think I am a genius! Li Qi was not in a hurry, sipping tea leisurely, and secretly gave Brother Qiu a sly smile from time to time. Brother Qiu immediately gave him a blank look in return.
.
After a while, Asler made up his mind and said, "Okay. We want five big pieces."
"That's fifty thousand guan."
"Yes, the total is 800,000 yuan."
Look, won't the money come back? Li Qi secretly glanced at Gao Qiu and said hehe: "Okay. Mr. Asler is really a happy person. Just like me, I am most afraid of gossip when talking about business."
How could Asler believe him and said: "However, we cannot raise so much money for the time being, so we hope that 400,000 yuan of it will be replaced by horses."
This was beyond Li Qi's expectation. He frowned and said, "Horses?"
Asler nodded and said: "Yes, they are all top-quality horses."
Uighur is in the Hetao area, and the horses there are all excellent, and the Song Dynasty happens to be short of horses. This is really better than paying cash many times. Li Qi suppressed the joy in his heart and said: "It's okay to do this."
Okay, but I wonder how many horses you plan to replace?"
Asler said: "The supervisor must also know that now that war is raging, the price of horses is naturally not cheap. The price we sell among the people is sixty-three thousand dollars per horse. I will calculate it as sixty-three dollars per horse. Take a round number and it will be six in total."
How about one thousand seven hundred horses?"
Is it true? This guy won’t bully me into knowing the horse prices in the Hetao area, right?
In fact, this number has made Li Qi very happy, but he is a businessman, and it doesn't matter how much it is. It is this much, so even if it is this much, he just hopes not to be cheated by others. Of course, it is another matter for him to cheat others.
He couldn't help but look a little hesitant, and glanced at Gao Qiu, who nodded slightly.
Li Qi felt relieved and said, "Okay, that's it. When do you want it?"
Asler said: "The earlier the better, preferably within half a year."
Li Qi nodded and said: "It makes sense. Let's do this. I will deliver the weapons to your country's border within five months, but according to the rules, you must pay half of the deposit first."
Asler said: "Okay. We will pay 400,000 yuan first. When you come, we will deliver the horses."
"Someone, bring me the contract."
Since the method of payment has changed, the contract naturally has to be changed. Li Qi said seriously: "Mr. Asler, I thought that our Song Dynasty has many similarities with your country, and we are as close as brothers-in-law. I have a suggestion, is it feasible?
"
Asler was stunned for a moment and said, "Supervisor, please tell me?"
"I think our two countries can form a military alliance to help each other and jointly defend against enemies."
Asler's eyes lit up when he heard this. No matter how weak the Song Dynasty was, it was still a big country in the Central Plains. Moreover, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom were in alliance. The advantages of forming an alliance with the Song Dynasty definitely outweighed the disadvantages. He smiled and said: "The supervisor's proposal is really not against me."
Yes, but I can't make the final decision on this matter. I have to go back and report it to our king before making a decision."
You can't make the decision, and neither can I! Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course, of course, we will discuss this matter in detail then."
"It's a deal."
...
After signing the purchase contract, several people went to Zuixianju [***] for a meal. It was not until three days that Asler and others left drunkenly.
"Li Qi, why did you sell the assault crossbow to them, and what did you mean by the military alliance during the day?" As soon as Asler left, Brother Qiu couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Lieutenant, although we mainly sell old weapons, we must come up with some selling points. This will also be beneficial in the future. Besides, what they are getting is only semi-finished products."
"Semi-finished product?"
"Yes, the real assault crossbow has two systems, a trigger system and a pulley system. The trigger system only adds convenience, while the pulley system actually enhances the power and range. Who wants to shoot with semi-finished products and finished products?
, that is simply courting death.”
Gao Qiu was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "You really have a trick up your sleeve. What about the military alliance?"
Li Qidao: "Uihe can't help but build a border with the Jin Kingdom, and also with Xixia. If we can form an alliance with the Uihe, then we can contain the Jin and Xia countries more, and we can attack when we advance, and defend when we retreat. Moreover, Huihe will produce horses."
Gao Qiu nodded frequently, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you have really thought carefully. Haha, I didn't expect that your kid's talent in this area is higher than ordinary people."
"It's a great reward, Lieutenant."
"Who are you going to see next?"
"Korea Envoy."
"They? Why didn't they see the Dali envoy?"
"The situation in Dali is quite special. It is a sign of respect for them to see them last. Besides, the heat in Korea is almost over. If we don't see them again, they will have to vomit blood." Li Qi said with an evil smile.
.
...
Ordnance Supervisor.
This time, three old faces came, namely Pu Zhiqian, Shen Chongjun, and Pei Wenqing.
"Brother Pu, I haven't seen you for a year, but you are so radiant, handsome, and so enviable. Brother Shen, your smile is really more charming, and Brother Pei, tsk, tsk, it has become mellower." Li Qi stood up to greet him, with a smile on his face.
He arched his hands with a smile.
After these pleasantries, Yu Qi and Ma Qiao lowered their heads at the same time, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.
The three sticks had strange expressions on their faces, especially Pei Wenqing, who squeezed his eyes in frustration. If he is round, you would call him fat.
"The supervisor was so complimentary."
Pu Zhiqian laughed and said politely: "I still remember the first time I met the supervisor at your store. It really seems like yesterday!"
Li Qi glanced at the entourage behind Pu Zhiqian and said with a smile: "Who says it's not true? I still remember those pearls that Brother Pu gave me. Oh, they are so good. The ladies I married this year are all very jealous.
A few women almost started fighting, it was really annoying. Also, those wild ginsengs are really great. After I ate them, the effect was amazing. I won’t go into detail about the taste. I was still
I’m planning to go to your country to sell some more, but I’m really too busy and can’t spare time.”
Why are the supervisors talking about this? Yu Qi, a nerd, can’t understand it at all.
He didn't understand. Pu Zhiqian and others knew it very well. They quickly asked the servants to present the gifts and said hehe, "It's fine if the supervisor likes it. I just happened to bring some more this year. Today I just can't bring too many."
The servant is here, so he looks a little shabby. Please don't take offense to the supervisor. I will definitely give him a generous gift tomorrow." But I thought in my heart, this cook has really not changed at all, he is very greedy. If he didn't say this, I'm afraid he would
He won't even talk to us about serious matters.
Bangzi is a stickman, he really understands people and the world, I like it! Li Qi groaned and said: "How embarrassing is this? How about I pay for it, you can just tell me how much."
Hypocrisy! How hypocritical! Pu Zhiqian cursed secretly, but said: "No, no, the supervisor is out of touch, isn't he? Based on what the supervisor said to us sincerely, this gift is nothing."
"This---haha, okay, okay, then I will be disrespectful. Thank you, thank you very much."
Li Qi waved his hand, and the servants immediately came up to collect the gifts.
Yu Qi understood now. I’m sorry you said so much because you think this gift is too little. To be continued.)
