Chapter 212 is all ours
Of course Cai Yanting knew what he said, and he also understood how surprised it would be to others.
Not to mention a blacksmith like Zhao Yankui, even he, a dignified fourth-grade Dusi, could not suppress his inner emotions when he saw those things.
When he first heard that Jiang Lin wanted so many things, any fool knew that he was deliberately disgusting Mr. Li.
But no one expected that the Qingzhou Li family would honestly transport everything to Kyoto within a few days.
Cai Yanting said with a smile: "The total is ten million taels of silver, 90% of which will be divided among each battalion, and some will be handed over to the Ministry of War. The remaining 10% will be given to you, but don't be offended. These hundreds of weapons are also In this way, I will give you 10%, and the rest will be used for you to refine again to see if you can reach a higher level.”
Jiang Lin didn't think there was anything strange. Thousands of people went to the seven frontier army camps that day.
Several generals were running so fast that they almost vomited.
Yushuai and General Qi were also present. Giving him 10% was already a great gift. What more could be said.
Even if it was 90% less, Jiang Lin wouldn't think it was a big deal.
"This was personally stated by General Qi, and naturally Yu Shuai also gave instructions behind it. This shows how much these two people value you." Cai Yanting said.
Jiang Lin nodded, first it was a document from the Ministry of Industry, and then it was a 10% profit. This kind of kindness was beyond expectation.
"But the so-called powerful clan is nothing more than that. Just give them a few scare words, and then they will deliver the things immediately." Cai Yanting said.
Jiang Lin looked up at him, shook his head and said, "Brother Cai is wrong. Not only does this not mean that the Qingzhou Li family has become weak, but it further illustrates the power of the powerful clan."
Cai Yanting was puzzled and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Jiang Lin gestured to the boxes and said: "Tens of millions of taels of silver and hundreds of first-class weapons. It only took them a few days to deliver them, which shows that these things are almost readily available to them. Even if they are a drop in the bucket. It’s the Ministry of War, can it come up with so many things so quickly?”
Cai Yanting was startled, then his expression changed slightly.
Jiang Lin doesn't know much about the Ministry of War and doesn't know its specific strength, so his words may be a bit exaggerated.
But to be fair, so what if the Ministry of War can do it, it is the Ministry of War of Daqian! It represents the military strength of the entire country.
The Qingzhou Li clan is just one of the powerful clans in the Nineteen Prefectures.
Just one powerful clan has financial resources and efficiency that are no less than those of the Ministry of War.
Thinking about it carefully, Cai Yanting's voice couldn't help but become much heavier: "When you say that, it's true."
Jiang Lindao: "So Yu Shuai and the Commander-in-Chief asked me to give Qingzhou Li a loud slap in the face in front of everyone. It's not because the border army lacks these, but because the power of the powerful clan has become so big." It must be contained or even countered.”
"Of course, there may be other reasons, but what I said should be one of them."
Cai Yanting nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Not to mention him, no one even thought of this, not even the generals in the camp.
But Jiang Lin, a young blacksmith, thought so far.
Cai Yanting couldn't help but sigh: "You really don't look like a blacksmith, but more like the scholars in the court."
Jiang Lin laughed: "Brother Cai, are you praising me or scolding me?"
Most military attachés dislike scholars and think their mothers-in-law are cowardly and bloodless, and they also like to play tricks and tricks.
When in contact with scholars, I always avoid them like snakes and scorpions, not wanting to get involved too much. But from another perspective, isn't this a fear for those so-called scholars?
Therefore, when Jiang Lin is said to be a scholar, it naturally means more praise.
"Our border troops have always relied on risking their lives, and few people think so much. If you are not a blacksmith, it would not be an exaggeration to just get you a fifth-level defense now." Cai Yanting said.
Jiang Lin smiled and said: "I only rely on risking my life because there are many things that are handled by the commander-in-chief and several commanders. Different ranks naturally have to do different things, and the role of risking my life may not be as important as They have little tricks and no subordinates are willing to risk their lives. No matter how powerful their tactics are, how can they defeat the enemy with their words?”
"Well said!" Cai Yanting was very pleased with these words.
Some people always say that the frontier troops just rely on their brute strength, shouting and killing like reckless men, and how can they understand the importance of strategy.
Now someone finally speaks to their hearts. If I don’t work hard in front of you, will you use your words and brains to do anything?
No, we still have to rely on human lives to push forward!
The more Cai Yanting looked at Jiang Lin, the more she liked him, and couldn't help but say: "Speaking of which, I have a distant cousin who is eighteen years old..."
"Definitely..." Jiang Lin waved his hand quickly: "If your sister likes weapons, I will just help her make a few. It's free of charge. Don't say anything else."
Cai Yanting smashed her mouth, feeling quite regretful.
Jiang Lin didn't want to argue with him about this kind of thing, so he left on the pretext of going over to see what one million taels of silver looked like.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Zhao Yankui and others also gathered around. They had never seen what one million taels of silver looked like.
The box was opened, and the white silver ingots were neatly arranged.
One box, two boxes, three boxes, four boxes...
Zhao Yankui was so pierced by the silver light that he could hardly open his eyes, and murmured: "Money blinds people's eyes, but the ancients would not deceive me..."
Jiang Lin was also a little shocked. One million taels was equivalent to a hill when built up.
He suddenly thought, I wonder if Hengyu Furnace will earn money? Why don't you try feeding me a few pieces later?
If Zhao Yankui knew that he wanted to use silver to feed the stove, his eyes would probably drop to the ground.
I really have no place to spend my money!
In fact, for Jiang Lin, using silver to buy materials is no different from directly feeding Hengyu Furnace with silver. It's just about which one is more helpful to the progress of Hengyu Furnace.
Compared with the money, Jiang Lin valued the 300 first-class weapons more.
There is a one percent chance of producing a treasure weapon, so you have to have three of them no matter what, right?
"Where will these weapons be sent afterwards?" Jiang Lin asked.
"Thirty percent of it will be sent to the Ministry of War, 10% will be given to you, and the rest will be divided among our several camps." Cai Yanting said.
Jiang Lin considered the words for a moment, and then said: "If I refine it again and get three treasures, how should they be distributed?"
Cai Yanting was startled. Three treasures?
He said almost without thinking: "Since it is our Nanling Camp that produces the treasured soldiers, they will all belong to our Nanling Camp! Whoever dares to snatch them, I will crush him to death!"
Seeing his eager and unreasonable look, Jiang Lin laughed and said, "Brother Cai said this, I feel relieved."
Cai Yanting laughed and asked with expectation: "Can you really produce three treasures?"
"It's almost like, there should be at least two." Jiang Lin said, this is a relatively conservative estimate. After all, no one can tell the probability.
