Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Ah Shunluo's eyes lit up instantly, selling iron? !Although it is not directly selling weapons and equipment, they can make them by themselves when selling iron. Soon Asunluo probably understood in his heart that it should be that Datang does not allow the sale of weapons and armor to the outside world, but for iron, as His Royal Highness King Qin It doesn't matter that status should be sold.

"I don't know...how about the price?" Ah Shunluo hesitated for a moment before asking.

"One catty of iron is one tael of silver." Li Ke directly gave the price, because Tianzhu has always traded with the Central Plains, so they have an idea of ​​how much a catty is.

"I have a set of standard measurement units here, and most of the Datang caravans will use this measurement in the future." Li Ke added that he was ready to start unifying the measurement.

In Li Ke's warehouse, there is a complete set of standard weights and measures, ranging from one gram to one kilogram.Moreover, they are all made of corrosion-resistant materials, which gives Li Ke the basis to promote weights and measures. For units of length such as millimeters, centimeters, decimeters, and meters, the materials in Li Ke's warehouse are made of Several sets of materials with zero expansion coefficient in the natural temperature range are made.

Li Ke doesn't know what kind of single crystal glass it is, but at normal natural temperature, it is basically a zero-expansion material, and it is naturally the most accurate.

The volume unit is also made of this single crystal silicon. In fact, the volume unit can be converted to the length unit, so it doesn’t matter whether it is there or not.

And these weights and measures gave Li Ke the conditions to promote, and the reason why there is no internal reform in Datang for the time being is because education has not yet been popularized. With the completion of the school construction and the construction of the first batch of schools, Li Ke is ready to use them all. Weights and measures are popularized.

According to this set of units, a batch of standard weights and measures was built and sent to various places in Datang as standard units, and then Li Ke took the lead in carrying out reforms based on his own industry.

When you are in a seller's market and an absolute advantage, there are naturally people to adapt to you.

For example, now, Li Ke said how much a catty of iron is, Tianzhu has to calculate according to how much a catty of iron is, and one tael has naturally become the standard 50 grams.

Asun Luo said that he wanted to take a look, and Li Ke naturally asked someone to show him a set of standard refined steel weights that he would carry.

Ah Shunluo weighed the weight of 500 grams, then took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, this price..."

"I didn't overcharge you. In Datang, a catty of iron costs more than 300 Wen. Although I charged you about three times the price, how far is Datang from here?" Li Ke waved his hand and directly offered the price. clear.

"You can settle with grain and silver. 3000 catties of grain can be exchanged for a catty of iron, and one tael of silver. I only accept silver, not gold."

Of course, Li Ke didn't tell him that the one or two in his mouth was more than the one or two in Datang.Modern one or two is 50 grams, and Datang one or two is about 37 grams.

Ah Shunluo froze for a moment, don't most people like gold?Why is there another one that only needs silver?But asking for silver is a good thing, so he naturally agreed.He can accept this price. The Jieri Dynasty inherited most of the wealth of the previous dynasties of Tianzhu. After all, the Ganges River Basin has always been the richest and most populous place on this continent.

"I don't know how much we can buy?" Ashun Luo asked tentatively.

"I have as much as you buy, and we can deliver the goods in a month and a half at most." Li Ke said calmly.

The joy on Ah Shunluo's face could not be concealed, the Jieri Dynasty's iron-making technology was average, and it would definitely not be enough if it was used in a large-scale war.Although they have the Damascus iron-making technology that has been passed down from Shengyuan, which is what later European scholars call Uzi steel.

But what about the Damascus knife, Li Ke has heard of it a long time ago. In fact, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, he had already come into contact with this kind of magical sword that was passed down to later generations. It was called "镔铁" in the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, it was "Bing Tie", which means ironware presented by guests.

Iron is indeed quite famous in history, but Li Ke's interest in it...in fact, that's it.

The Damascus knife is a special excellent weapon with patterns. It is called a Damascus knife because it was sold in Damascus. It was lost around the seventeenth century. European scholars said that it was because of a kind of iron ore "Uzi steel" for forging it. "It was mined and lost, but there is no historical evidence for these.

When he came to history and integrated into history, Li Ke became more aware that history can be "falsified", and Li Ke is doing it now.

Of course, it is certain that the Damascus knife is a kind of alloy steel. As for the performance shown in those historical events that are said to be miraculous, Li Ke does not believe it.If that thing hadn't been exaggerated, Li Ke would have twisted his head off.

According to its legendary performance, it can be said to be stronger than all modern special alloy steels, is it possible?At least this thing is not without stock in modern times. There are a lot of stocks in various museums. If its performance far exceeds all modern special alloy steels, do you think those stocks will not be studied?

It has long been listed as a confidential research by the governments of various countries. How could it be possible for some companies that specialize in the production of cold weapons to keep advocating there.

It is too easy to falsify modern information in later generations. Most people just get information from search engines, and search engines use crawler technology to intercept information from various website pages. It is very easy to be searched by search engines. Make a few simple websites. Then it was reproduced by various forums through technical means, and then searched through search engines, and there are a lot of people who took it seriously.

Of course, being able to forge alloy steel in this era is considered very strong, but this kind of thing can never be called a strategic weapon because it cannot be manufactured in large quantities.

Otherwise, Ah Shunluo wouldn't have come to Li Ke to ask if he could buy ironware.

Jieri Dynasty had enough craftsmen, but the output of iron smelting was not enough, and the output was the standard to check and balance everything.

Although Li Ke's price is very high, it is nothing to a country that is in the midst of life and death.

After all, money is meaningful only when you are alive.

"Buy [-] catties first, does Your Highness have any?" Ashun Luo proposed a figure that he thought was huge.

Li Ke was a little speechless. Five tons of silver after thinking for a long time?

"It's too little, let's make up 20 catties." Li Ke waved his hand. After all, 20 catties is only 100 tons of iron, and a ship can't fill it.

"Okay! Thank you, Your Highness." Ah Shun Luo immediately said with a smile on his face.

After the strategic materials are negotiated, the rest of the negotiations on silk, porcelain, etc. will be easier, just follow the price of real wax.

After the talk, Ah Shun Luo resolutely said goodbye, and he wanted to go back and report to King Jie Ri.
