In the prefecture of Hengzhou, in a brand new manor in the suburbs, several men were wearing armor to try whether the "new clothes" fit.

The armor is in the style of crotch armor, and it can be adapted to the figures of different wearers with just a little adjustment.

Next to it, a young man sat under a tree, looked at the armor in his hand and observed the armor leaves on it.

The size of these armor leaves is not much different from that of ordinary armor leaves. There are several holes on it for the convenience of woven embellishment.

There was a piece of dismantled armor next to it. The young man picked up several of the armor leaves at the breastplate and folded them up. Looking at the light, he saw that the openings of these armor leaves were neatly aligned, so they could "transmit light".

If you look closely at the edges of each armor leaf, it is also very neat and has the same thickness. It can be seen that this "mechanical armor leaf" is really not forged by craftsmen one by one.

"Tell me, how much does this mechanical armor leaf cost?" The young man suddenly spoke. The young servant in the green-clothed child standing next to him thought about it and shook his head: "I can't guess it's too small."

The young man continued to say to himself: "Mechanical Armor Leaf is said to be a large batch forging of hydraulic forging hammers, and it does not require much labor. The cost is much lower than manual forging one by one."

"This collar armor has nearly a thousand armor leaves, and it is spread out at the price. Each armor leaf is worth a few cents. If the sold armor person can earn four cents on one armor leaf, and one armor can earn four cents of money."

As he spoke, he laughed: "Haha, it's really a good deal. Is the court in the south short of money? Or does it feel that it doesn't matter if the large amount of armor flows into the people?"

The child servant laughed with him: "Maybe they all..."

Although he was smiling on his face, he was actually a little scared.

Erlang Jun Ma Qi always looks smiling on weekdays, but he is cruel and ruthless. He can use a knife to slap people's neck while smiling.

If the servants and the servants are not careful, the Erlangjun will be unhappy and will be beaten and beaten at any time, and they will easily die.

Look, a few unlucky guys were selected by Erlangjun and now they are going to be targets for live arrows.

Next to him, several men wearing armor stood tremblingly. Erlang Jun Maqi picked up the two stone bow and tested the shooting himself at a distance of thirty steps.

You have to see how strong the armor I just bought is.

He easily pulled the two stone bows and shot arrows on the live targets continuously. Each arrow hit the chest, but he couldn't shoot it.

March signaled the "live target" to move forward and reach a distance of fifteen steps.

These unlucky child servants were scared, but they had to walk forward: fifteen steps away, the armor might be shot through by arrows, and they might die, but if they don't leave and anger Erlangjun, they will definitely die.

They walked to fifteen steps away with difficulty, stopped, closed their eyes, and waited for "God's will".

March shot several arrows in a row, and shot the chest of the "live target", but he still couldn't shoot.

The person next to him looked at it and sighed: "This armor is so solid!!"

March threw the bow to someone else and ordered: "Come on the crossbow."

As soon as the words were finished, the others' expressions changed: At such a close distance, where can the armor block the crossbow arrows?

Several "live targets" were so scared that their faces were as white as paper, their feet trembled, like grass in the wind, swaying.

Soon, a homemade crossbow was held forward by someone. March looked at the person holding the crossbow with a smile on his face.

The man was shocked and quickly rushed to the crossbow.

Because this crossbow is an arm-opening crossbow, Zhang crossbow fell quickly. He put the arrows in his strings and respectfully held them in front of Erlangjun.

March picked up the crossbow, pointed it at several "live targets", and glanced around the faces of these people.

Choose one at will, aim at your chest, and pull the motor.

After two "bang, bang", a "live target" suddenly took a step back and then bent down, as if he was hit in his chest.

March looked at the man and shouted to let him stand up straight.

But I saw a crossbow arrow inserted into my chest, my face pale, but I didn't fall to the ground, and I was still standing.

Ma Qi asked the other party to come over and took a closer look. The crossbow shot a armor leaf, which was obviously deformed, but...

When I took off my armor, I saw that although the crossbow arrow shot through the armor leaves, the arrows were only exposed, stabbing the chest of the armored person.

But it only caused a small wound, which caused redness and swelling around the wound.

"This armor is really solid!" Everyone exclaimed.

The ears are false, and the eyes are true. They saw with their own eyes how the armor blocked the crossbow and shot at the close range, and had the most intuitive understanding of the degree of firmness of the armor.

March threw the crossbow to others and said to these "live targets": "Okay, take off your armor and go to work!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Erlang!"

The people almost cried with joy, took off their armor, and left as if they were running away.

March was very satisfied with the armor that had been shot by the crossbow arrows. After all, these armors were bought at a high price. If they were vulnerable waste, the money would be wasted.

It can prevent bows and arrows, and can shoot at close range with arms and crossbows, but it can only cause skin and flesh injuries. It's really good.

In this way, the caravan guards will have a greater chance of winning against the thieves, and will be able to protect people and have comprehensive goods.

Once the situation changes in the future, the chances of winning will be greater if the soldiers in the attacks on the county and prefectures.

Thinking of this, Maqixi was overjoyed and asked his men to clean up and go to the backyard by himself.

Just when I was about to go to the gate of the courtyard, I saw my brother Ma Yu walking towards me.

Seeing that there was no one around, Maqi asked his brother how the progress of cracking the recipe for Sky Thunder was made: "Brother, this secret of Sky Thunder..."

Ma Yu looked around first, saw that there was no third party, and shook his head: "I finally got a few of them open, and the black powder inside seemed to be very mixed, so I couldn't tell."

"Brother, can't those guys even smell it? Didn't they say that their noses are very flexible?"

"It can be confirmed that there is charcoal powder, but the smell is mixed and the other ingredients are not clear." Ma Yu finished speaking and sighed: "Sure enough, since the government dares to sell it, it must have tampered with the ingredients."

"Trouble? Brother, is there something else involved in these black fans?"

"It should be, and with a different smell, the ones that prevent people from figuring out the real formula. It seems that it is impossible to imitate the Thunderbolt."

Ma Yu said this and asked his younger brother about the test shooting of the armor.

"It's very solid. The crossbow we made ourselves was barely shot through at a distance of fifteen steps. The armored person was just a minor injury."

March roughly talked about the test shooting situation just now, and then asked: "Brother, you have to make as many armor as possible to be prepared."

"Of course, I'll find a way to stock up more, maybe one day I can use it." Ma Yu smiled after saying that.

"Brother, what do you think of the southern court? Armor has always been forbidden products. They are actually sold publicly, so they are not afraid that someone will take the opportunity to hoard them, and then..."

"And what?" Ma Yu looked at his younger brother, "If you rebel, do you think the gate-guarding fortresses outside Datong City are so easy to attack? There must be Krupp on it!"

"The government army is in Jinyang, and there are so many elite soldiers and elite soldiers who can't stand the Southern Army. Let's forget it, don't daydream."

"Since the new government dares to sell armor, it is nothing more than relying on the fact that Krupp is defending the city and is not afraid of siege."

The "official army" mentioned by Ma Yu is of course the Qi army. Although Qi has now perished, it does not mean that the people in the north recognize the southern court.

The Ma Yu and Ma Qi brothers were born in a cold place. The previous generation of the family relied on their life to find some family background, making the Ma family a powerful family.

Now, since the new government encourages border trade in the border areas, they transformed themselves into business, participated in border trade and trade, and brought up teams to the grassland to make a fortune.

Such business activities are indispensable, and the restrictions on the "limited opening" of armor by the government are most suitable: caravan members can avoid deaths with armor protection.

So Ma Yu decided to buy as much armor as possible and then stock up.

When the situation changes in the future, his brothers will take advantage of the situation and become a governor.

So, what is "changing the current situation"?

"The Qin State unified the world and died in the second lifetime. In less than twenty years, the heroes competed and the Chu-Han struggled." Ma Yu said history, and Ma Qi listened silently.

"In the late Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The Sima family's Jin State unification of the world. From the destruction of Wu to the outbreak of the Eight Kings, it took only 20 years. The world was in chaos. What did you find when the new court unified the world?"

Ma Qi thought for a while and said, "Uh... Could it be that after the chaos, the country that unified the world first did not last long. In twenty or thirty years, there would be chaos again?"

Ma Yu nodded: "Yes, even if the Chu State can unify the world, it is still unknown how long its country will last."

March thought about it carefully and understood what his brother meant.

Since the new government sells armor, they dare to buy it, buy it as much as possible, use all kinds of means, try to get more armor and save it.

If the world is peaceful in the future, they will continue to do business, do border trade, and become rich people.

Forget it if you rebel, the Chu army's weapons "Krupp" and "Loyal and Brave" cannot be defeated by those flesh and blood bodies wearing armor.

If the situation will be in chaos in the future, they will not dare to say that they will win the world by relying on the army armed with these armors. There is definitely no problem in protecting themselves, and they may even be able to win wealth.

This transaction will not lose money no matter how you do it, it will be better.

"Now, make money first. If you have money, everything is easy to say." Ma Yu asked about the serious matter, "Weapons and armor are ready, are the goods ready?"

"You're ready. This time you go to the grassland to do business, you will definitely make more money than last time!" Ma Qi replied confidently, "When you enter the grassland, sell all the goods, and then rob the Turkic tribe and make another one!"

"Catch more prisoners, especially adult men." Ma Yu walked out and explained to his younger brother: "Now those coal mines are in a hurry to use slave labor, and several mines have released news."

"I want to buy slave labor at the mine. The price is easy to say. How much is it and how much is it. I found me yesterday and asked us how many slave labor we can sell to them this year..."

"What did your brother say? Has the price been set?"

"Still? What's the point! Just go through ambiguously. The price has been rising all the time. Now we will make a price less for no reason? This is not how we do business..."
