Negotiation is also skillful. Although Zeng Yi is not a good negotiator, he also knows how to raise prices without hesitation. When he arrived at the Ministry of Industry, he greeted the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of War, and immediately opened his mouth and asked for almost everything.
, except for the armaments in active service, all were open to the public. They only gave a very low price, with a total price of one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Although Zeng Yi was familiar with Wan Huojing, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Industry, they were so angry at Zeng Yi's request that they almost overturned the table!
"Master Ni! If you are like this, then there is no way to talk about it!"
"Two adults, why can't we negotiate? If the price is not suitable, I can increase it a little! Don't worry, I am absolutely sincere!" From siege equipment, catapults, ladders, rams, etc., to sailing battleships,
Zeng Yi wrote down the ballistas, even the obsolete bows and armors of the imperial army, on the list, but he only quoted 100,000 taels of silver. In total, each technology cost less than 10,000 taels of silver.
No wonder the two of them were so angry that they almost turned the table over. No one dared to agree to this offer.
"Master Ni, this is no longer a question of price. As for the technologies on the list, if we dare to agree to them all, tomorrow the imperial censor will be able to give us a copy of the crime of corruption and treason!"
"You two adults, don't worry, I'll reduce a few items!" Zhou Yi said as he crossed out a few less important or repetitive techniques.
"Lord Ni! Let me tell you clearly, the court will never open crossbows and armors! Sir Ni should know this, just cross it out. There is no need to discuss this point!"
"Okay, just follow the requirements of the two adults!" Zeng Yi originally didn't want a crossbow or armor. Although these two items are inconspicuous, they have always been the bottom line of the court.
Especially armor, the imperial court has strictly prohibited civilians from making armor. Small batches may be turned a blind eye, but large-scale equipment will definitely be considered a crime of treason. The main reason is that armor is the absolute advantage of the imperial army when facing the strength of the world.
In a large army battle, the influence of martial arts masters is actually very small. What matters is the overall strength, and armor is the most important factor that affects the overall strength.
In terms of personal strength, the imperial army is definitely not as good as the players. Naturally, the imperial court will not let go of the advantages of armor. It can be said that even if artillery technology is opened to players in the future, players will never be allowed to make armor unless the game develops.
By now, the players have completely taken the lead.
Zeng Yi has always been very aware of this, and the reason why he was put on the list was to counter-offer.
After taking off the armor and crossbows, the faces of the Minister of War and the Minister of Industry became much better.
"You two adults should be satisfied now, right?"
The two shook their heads, "Master Ni, but the price is too low. Let alone one hundred thousand taels of silver together, just one hundred thousand taels of silver for each item is a bit unjustifiable!"
Zeng Yi slapped the table directly, "Okay, as you two adults want, each skill will cost you one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"this,......"
When the two heard this, they quickly wanted to refute, but Zeng Yi didn't give them a chance, and immediately said: "I have already made concessions on this list and price, what do you two adults want me to do?"
"this......"
"Okay, I'm making a concession, 110,000 taels of silver per item! If the two adults are still dissatisfied with the price, then I very much doubt whether the two adults are targeting me!"
"A technology of 110,000 is enough, but the list needs to be studied again. I think Mr. Ni doesn't want to take all the remaining armaments on the list, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Ni, if you take too much at once, it is inevitable that someone in the court will say something. You might as well win a few first. Since the court has already opened its mouth to Mr. Ni, some technologies can be obtained later.
This way Mr. Ni can also save money!”
The two sides exchanged words and finally decided on the list. The technologies Zeng Yi obtained this time were actually only four in total. He initially thought about the sailing battleship that he must win but gave up in the end. It's not that they didn't agree to sell the sailing battleship.
Technology, mainly because he really can't afford those battleships.
The technology of battleships is not just one. Battleships are divided into three levels. Each level of battleships belongs to a separate technology. In addition to battleships, there are also transport ships, patrol ships and other auxiliary battleships. The little money prepared by the Silver Empire alone is
It's not enough to buy battleship drawings, let alone build battleships. The biggest investment is actually in the shipyard. It is impossible to invest in building a shipyard that can build sail battleships without millions of silver.
Moreover, the sailing warships eliminated by the imperial court have not yet been dealt with, and maritime disputes are not yet mainstream. It is difficult to make a return on a large investment in a short time, so Zeng Yi can only give up the warships first.
The four technologies that Zeng Yi won were all large-scale war equipment, including two types of siege equipment and two types of defense equipment.
As for the siege equipment, Zeng Yi took down the catapult and the ram. These two siege equipment are the most commonly used and indispensable equipment when sieging a city, especially the catapult. In the words of players, it cannot be attacked.
If you get down, you will have to smash the opponent to lose money. In fact, Zhou Yi wanted to take down the ladder at first, but then he thought about it and realized that the players' Qinggong is very good now. They can use Qinggong when attacking a city, so he finally gave up on the ladder.
As for the city defense equipment, Zeng Yi chose the three-bow bed crossbow, the gate knife cart, and the three-bow bed crossbow. Zhou Yi was very familiar with it. This is also the city defense equipment that players have the most exposure to. After all, Zhou Yi has acquired many three-bows in the Western Regions.
The bed is broken.
The three-bow bed crossbow is very powerful. As long as it is manufactured, there is no need to worry about selling it. However, the process of obtaining the three-bow bed crossbow is not smooth. The minister of the Ministry of Industry insists that it is not completely complete that some parts of the imperial court are still using the three-bow bed crossbow.
Eliminated armaments should not be opened to the public.
Zeng Yi also spent a lot of effort to capture it. Fortunately, the three-bow bed crossbow was a defensive device fixed on the city wall, otherwise he might not have been able to capture it!
The gate-blocking knife cart is a defensive instrument used to block the city when the city gate is breached. There is a steel knife on the front knife wall. When used, the cart can be pushed to the gap of the city gate, which can not only kill the enemy, but also block the enemy.
Square arrows and stones make it difficult for the opponent to climb, forming a barrier to movement. The cart is an extremely strong two-wheeled cart. The cart body is almost the same width as the city gate, usually between three and four feet;
There are three or four floors of wooden frames in front, with a number of sharp knives fixed on each floor, and the cart body has a long shaft. Once the enemy breaks through the city gate, dozens and hundreds of soldiers push the knife cart to block the city gate.
This kind of city defense equipment is mainly used to deal with long-term fierce battles to defend the city and the attacks and defenses between players. It is difficult to guarantee that the city gate will not be lost at one time. This gate-blocking knife cart is the most useful emergency weapon.
