Under the dim light of the oil lamp, Li Li looked at the products produced in his workshop and touched them from time to time, very satisfied.

The ring lock armor is to use small iron rings to form a "chain cloth", which is generally "one button four" (one ring string four rings). The more rings you buckle, the smaller the mesh.

Then use this "cloth" to form "cloth", "head hood", "gloves", and "pants" to protect people's head, body and limbs.

The ring lock armor (anti-sting suit) in Li Li's hand is like a long-sleeved jacket without a collar (without the collar), weighing about twenty kilograms. After wearing it, putting on the outer coat, it is impossible to tell at all.

This is the real product of hydraulic workplaces and the best use of cold-drawing technology. Li Li is very satisfied.

All dynasties have strictly prohibited the people from possessing armor. This is a red line, and anyone who touches him will easily be unlucky. In general, those who hold armor privately are regarded as rebellion.

Of course, Li Li knew the consequences, but he still violated the ban and made armor privately, and it was an armor that ordinary craftsmen could not make - ring lock armor.

Compared with common armor, ring lock armor is very close to the body, preventing knife cutting and not blunt attack. Overall, the defense of the chain armor on arrows is also worse than that of armor.

However, because it is close to the body, it is very suitable for cooperation with the armor. The soldiers wear chain mail inside and outer armor. On the battlefield, they are human-shaped tanks that are inaccessible to the sword.

Or, use the chain mail as protective armor, wear it close to the body, and then wear a coat, so others can't see it at all, so they can protect themselves from assassins.

Li Li had inquired before that the number of equipment in the military ring lock armor seemed to be small enough. The possible reason was that the craftsmen did not master the wire drawing technology of iron.

Therefore, the government cannot make iron rings quickly, which leads to the high cost of making a pair of ring lock armor.

It is said that only the Dongye of Jiankang (probably the top official in Liang State) could make a small amount of ring lock armor, and the emperor gave it to a few powerful people.

Therefore, armor like ring lock armor is a high-end product and can't be used even if ordinary people want to.

But for Li Li, because he mastered the wire drawing process and could make iron rings in large quantities, it is not difficult to make ring lock armor, it takes less time and is not expensive.

As for the production of iron rings, Li Li knew a convenient way:

With iron wire of appropriate thickness, wrap it around a round iron rod, like a spring, and then cut it on the side, there are many open iron rings.

Then hammer and open holes at both ends.

According to the processing process of the fish hook, the open iron ring is treated with cold drawing, quenching, tempering, carburizing, flattening (cold forging), hard but not brittle, tough but not soft, resistant to cutting (cutting with knife), and resistant to pulling (extrusion by arrows).

Then rivet it and turn it into a closed iron ring (rivet iron ring). The chain mail made by this will not be broken by the knife or the arrow will not be shot in.

Such craftsmanship is the only one in the world, but it is only important. In order to keep it confidential, Li Li used mutes as employees to make it in a heavily guarded courtyard.

Therefore, Li Li's hydraulic workplace is the banned armor - ring lock armor.

But no one noticed that because the production of armor requires a lot of manual forging of armor leaves and a large number of leather strips are needed to weave the armor leaves. However, he did not stock up on the skin and made armor leaves, and there was no sign of privately making armor.

Everyone thought that he hired people, set up workshops, and made fish hooks by buying iron, but no one would have thought that he was actually "selling arms (army)."

Arms are one of the most profitable deals in the modern world. Nowadays, there are also ring lock armors with a high technical content, but the ring lock armor produced by Li Li is divided into two types: for self-use and for export.

The two types of ring lock armor are distinguished by the closed form of iron rings: the iron ring is riveted, carburized, and quenched, with a series of processes to prevent arrows and chopping, and has a high defense. It is for riveted ring lock armor and is for self-purpose;

The iron ring docking (with gaps), no carburizing, quenching and other processes, and is not cut-proof and not arrow-proof (armor-breaking arrows will spread the docking iron ring). It is a docking ring lock armor and is used for export.

Wu Xiang, who is fishing in the lake on weekdays, spent more than half a year to contact the "black market". He is now responsible for selling the Huan Lock Armor. He has contacted several profiteers who concealed his identity and secretly distributed the dock Armor.

In theory, no businessman dares to take such risks to make money, but "I have my own national conditions."

The royal family of Liang State fought fiercely. Many people secretly kept private soldiers, hoarded food and grass, and even some people blatantly plotted against each other, and the emperor was reluctant to give substantial punishment.

The emperor was reluctant to punish the rebellious behavior because he felt that "everything is in control", so he didn't care, but the prince cared about it, the princes and the royal family also cared about it.

For that position, many princes and royal families have gone crazy.

Therefore, the secret "arms race" among the royal family is in full swing, which is already a tacit secret for others.

Then, there is no need to worry about selling the unique "ring lock armor". Naturally, there are middlemen who acquire it and then resell it to these descendants of the Xiao family who are "kind and filial, filial, and friendly and respectful."

Or sell it to a wealthy merchant or a powerful man.

The one-collar butt ring lock armor has an ex-factory price of 100,000 yuan (100 jin), while the production cost, including materials and labor, is only 5,000 yuan.

Now, the docking ring lock armor has been sold for 100 pieces, and the hard currency used by profiteers to pay for are all easy-to-carry gold, silver and jewelry.

Therefore, the profit was 9500 jin, nearly 1000 jin. The weight of so many copper coins was about 130,000 jin, or 1,100 jin, and a thousand jin river boat could be loaded.

Although the "monthly transaction volume" of this kind of transaction fluctuates greatly, it is undoubtedly a huge profit. Therefore, the Huang family's debt is nothing to Li Li, and the principal and interest can be paid off in one month.

This is the business opportunity he found: selling arms (army), which is more profitable than most transactions, nearly twenty times the profit, it takes less time, and is even more powerful than the sea trade, which is enough to make people crazy.

At this moment, Li Li took the collar butt ring lock armor, looked carefully, and murmured to himself: "You said 'Buy fish hooks, find Li Li?"

"Wrong, it's buying armor and finding someone!"

"So I won't be short of money, food, or people. You scumbags, wash your neck and wait for death!"

There was a fire flashing in Li Li's eyes, remembering the miserable experience of himself and Liang Sen being trafficked, and the confession of the bald man.

The human trafficker was deprived of his conscience and everyone was punished, but his strength was not enough to directly destroy the "people and easy market around Pengli Lake District", so he had to use a plan.

The ring lock armor itself is not a "divine outfit" that is invulnerable, but it is characterized by softness, so it is very concealed, which can protect the body and give people courage.

With this thing, the owner has the courage to launch sneak attacks, because the probability of surviving from sneak attacks and counter sneak attacks is much higher than before.

So, can brotherly love in the world withstand the test?
