Chapter 348 The handsome man needs more money (additional update 17)
As soon as Jiang Lin came out of the blacksmith shop, he saw two huge packages like hills falling from the sky, almost hitting him on the head.
The thing hit the ground heavily and made a loud noise, attracting countless people to look over.
Looking at the two commanders who were following the package as it landed, before Jiang Lin could speak, Commander Ling's gun was already at his throat.
"Master!" Song Ziyan exclaimed in surprise.
A figure next to him screamed and rushed forward, it was Miao Yonghuai.
He held a big gun and stabbed Ling Shuai.
On the other side, Sheng Yingchun's eyes hesitated briefly, and then disappeared completely.
She swayed, came to the side, jumped up high with Mo Dao in hand, and chopped off Ling Shuai's head.
"No!" Old Man Wei was shocked. He didn't expect the two children to be so fierce. They just did what they said without any hesitation.
It can be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!
Seeing Miao Yonghuai and Sheng Yingchun rushing forward, Song Ziyan held a double-edged sword in his hand, gritted his teeth, and took a step forward.
As a result, Old Man Wei grabbed him and said sternly: "Don't mess around!"
At this time, Miao Yonghuai's gun had arrived. Ling Shuai glanced at it, the handle of the gun moved horizontally, and hit the tip of the gun accurately.
Although he didn't use any strength, his own cultivation was so terrifying. Even the power of pure physical body was already extremely important.
Miao Yonghuai's big gun suddenly shattered into pieces, and his whole body vomited blood and flew backwards.
He is only at the fifth level of martial arts. How can he withstand the power of the divine martial realm, even if it is just a casual defensive move.
Jiang Lin flashed and appeared behind Miao Yonghuai to catch him. Looking down, he saw that the child's face was like gold paper and his mouth and nose were bleeding.
Jiang Lin's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he took out a Seven Sage Powder from his arms and stuffed it into Miao Yonghuai's mouth.
The medicine was used to heal his injuries, and when he saw his breath improved, Jiang Lin heard another muffled groan in his ears.
Looking up, she saw Sheng Yingchun's Mo Dao being pinched by Hong Shuai.
With Hong Shuai's bare hands, it was easier to defend than Ling Shuai, or in other words, it was easier to retain his strength.
He just stretched out two fingers to hold the blade, shook it slightly, and sent Sheng Yingchun flying out.
Old Man Wei pulled Song Ziyan and ran over to shout to Sheng Yingchun, then he knelt down to the two commanders.
"The child is ignorant and disturbed the commander, please forgive me!"
Hong Shuai chuckled. He could naturally see that these two children did not do it for no reason, but because of a misunderstanding. How could he care about them?
"It's okay, it's a bit bloody, not bad." Hong Shuai simply praised him, turned his head and was about to speak, when he saw Jiang Lin's gloomy expression, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At this time, Miao Yonghuai's aura had become much more stable and his life was safe. Jiang Lin put him on the ground, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I wonder why the two commanders are here?"
Hong Shuai's eyelids jumped when he heard this, why?
Aren’t you asking knowingly?
But after glancing at Miao Yonghuai on the ground, Hong Shuai knew that Jiang Lin was angry, so he said: "Shuai Ling didn't mean it. His gun is filled with evil spirits all year round, and ordinary people will die if they touch it. The collapse of the gun body actually saved the life of the gun." The child has a hand. Otherwise, he will die if he touches it."
Hong Shuai explained it in detail, which was very flattering. Someone else would not need such nonsense.
Just fight, what do you want?
Jiang Lin was startled when he heard this, and then took a closer look at the big gun in Ling Shuai's hand.
[A very good quality spear with evil aura...]
Characteristics that can be marked individually usually have a strong effect. Jiang Lin immediately understood that he had misunderstood.
Hong Shuai chuckled and said: "Without further ado, I brought you what you asked for, 2,800 kinds, and more than 6,000 different kinds of materials. We begged them from the homes of powerful clans. You We can’t make a trip to build weapons for Yu Shuai’s soldiers in vain. As for the silver coins, we will send them to you in a few days.”
Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment. He thought that Hong Shuai might go to the homes of powerful clans to get some materials, but he didn't expect that there were not only 2,800 types, but also more than 6,000 extra types!
Seeing that Jiang Lin didn't speak, Hong Shuai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "You're not just planning to build weapons for Yu Shuai's people, are you?"
Jiang Lin came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "That's not true, it's just a bit unexpected."
After a pause, Jiang Lin couldn't help but asked curiously: "I wonder if the two marshals got these materials from the homes of several powerful clans?"
"Not a few, seven or eight?" Hong Shuai said.
Along the way, they stopped by every house they met without counting them in detail.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but look strange. Seven or eight powerful families could get so much material. There were more than ten or twenty powerful clans in Daqian.
Moreover, these materials are definitely not all the family backgrounds of the powerful clans. If they can all be obtained...
Well, 20,000 to 30,000 kinds should be easy.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lin's mind couldn't help but become active. How about discussing it with other marshals?
It shouldn't make the powerful clan anxious and want to rebel, right?
But who cares, even if he really rebels, it has nothing to do with him, but it will make him feel relaxed.
It would be best if we could take advantage of this opportunity and not be treated as a tool. "Creating weapons is not a problem, but we are currently working hard to make the weapons that the northwest is lacking. In addition, Yushuai's deal is first, and there must be a first-come, first-served basis."
"How long will it take for you to build weapons for Yu Shuai?" Hong Shuai asked.
"A rough estimate, about two years." Jiang Lin said.
He stretched this timeline a little, not much, about twice as long.
Hong Shuai became a little anxious when he heard that, two years?
Then we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse?
Hong Shuai came over immediately, slapped Jiang Lin on the shoulder, and said, "I have left you the position of deputy commander. From the first rank, do you want to do it?"
Jiang Lin shook his head without hesitation: "I won't do it. I have many affairs to deal with, not to mention this blacksmith camp..."
"Okay, if you don't want to do it, you owe me a deputy commander. Either find someone at the top of the divine martial realm to take over, or you owe me a favor. You can choose it yourself."
Jiang Lin was stunned. Why did he owe a deputy commander?
The peak of the divine martial realm?
Where can I find it for you?
He knew the border army fairly well and knew that he had never been very fond of reasoning, but he never thought that one day it would happen to him.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Hong Shuai, you..."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you owe a favor. To repay it, we just need to advance the time of our weapons a little. It's not much, just advance one position. Isn't this too much to ask?" Hong Shuai asked with a smile.
But literally speaking, it's really not too much, just mentioning a position.
But the problem is, there is only one person in front of you!
Jiang Lin took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "No, I can't mention it. You can either slap me to death now, or go and beat Yu Shuai down. He agreed, so I don't care."
Hong Shuai narrowed his eyes: "Are you not afraid if I slap you to death?"
"Didn't Marshal Hong say that a man should stand upright, what should he be afraid of?" Jiang Lin said softly: "Besides, Your Majesty needs me. Does Marshal Hong really dare to slap this official to death?"
Hong Shuai pressed Jiang Lin's shoulders and kept exerting force. The huge force weighing tens of millions of kilograms did not make Jiang Lin's shoulders collapse in the slightest.
If Hong Shuai is the indestructible iron fist, then Jiang Lin is the indestructible divine iron.
Everyone around him held his breath and didn't dare to make any sound.
Only Sheng Yingchun clenched her fists and stared at Hong Shuai.
If old man Wei hadn't been kneeling on the ground, still holding on to her trousers, he would have picked up a knife from the side and rushed over.
Hong Shuai suddenly burst into laughter and raised his palm: "Good boy, I am wrong, what do you think I should do if I insist on making weapons first?"
Jiang Lin's expression remained as usual, calm and composed: "I have received many favors and support from Yu Shuai..."
"I have no kindness to you? It seems that I really have no kindness, but there will be some in the future, and I am sure it will be no worse than that old man!"
"Of course I trust Hong Shuai, but it's hard to choose between humanity and morality. If both Hong Shuai and Yu Shuai are kind to me, who should come first and who should last?" Jiang Lin blinked and said, "According to what I see , if Hong Shuai really wants to go ahead of Yu Shuai and make it so difficult for his subordinates... he will have to pay more!"
Hong Shuai was startled, more money?
"That weapon was not made by a single official, but the entire blacksmith battalion worked together, and all had to be paid. What's more, this is private work and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry."
Jiang Lindao: "So whoever gives the higher price will naturally build it first. It's not much, a hundred weapons plus one kind of material, silver, five taels a piece."
Hong Shuai listened silently, calculating in his mind.
It's okay to say that silver is five taels for one piece, and five million taels for one million pieces.
But that material, even if one extra material is added to a hundred pieces, it would still be tens of thousands.
"It's okay if Commander Hong is in trouble. After all, this matter is indeed extremely difficult and the materials are becoming increasingly difficult to find." Jiang Lin said.
Hong Shuai looked up at him and didn't understand that Jiang Lin was raising the price.
But I haven’t done anything wrong in this matter. If you don’t add money, why should I build it for you first?
Yu Shuai came first, and he was indeed kind to Jiang Lin.
There is no defensible reason. How will I explain it to the old man then?
Thinking of this, Hong Shuai turned to look at Ling Shuai and asked, "What do Ling Shuai think?"
Ling Shuai held a big gun and stared at Jiang Lin. He did not answer the question, but asked: "What would you have done if Hong Shuai didn't explain it just now?"
Jiang Lin said without hesitation: "In the land of Dachen, I have fought side by side with Ling Shuai. There is a difference in official rank, so I don't dare to complain. But those materials will only be brought back by Ling Shuai, even if His Majesty's holy order is not to build them." Half a weapon!”
These words were not said casually. Without Hong Shuai's explanation, Jiang Lin really planned to do this.
There is no direct conflict with Ling Shuai, but if you want to get good weapons from him, there is no way!
After hurting his apprentice, how could he make another deal?
Ling Shuai stared at Jiang Lin for a long time, and then he hummed softly: "These words satisfy me, otherwise I would have to shoot you with the look on my face just now! You are a good apprentice. He is also kind and courageous. I think he is a gunsmith. Do you want me to teach him a few tricks?”
Ling Shuai's words were obviously a show of favor and a different kind of apology for hurting Miao Yonghuai just now.
After all, he is a commander, and he cannot bow his head casually if he hurts a child, but it is still okay to give him some benefits to make up for it.
