Chapter 54 Three thousand five hundred swords
Li Xiang knew that the sword he exchanged from the system was valuable, but he did not expect it to be so valuable. The two top young men were already prepared to spend all their wealth in order to get this sword.
"To be honest, uncles, I don't have some materials right now, and it will take a month at the earliest. Let me first state that the cost alone will be around two thousand guan. If you don't master it well, you will be charged at any time. It is possible that the forging fails, so even if it can be successfully forged, my reasonable profit price will not be less than 3,500 guan."
Li Xiang gritted his teeth and raised the price to this high level. After all, he had been bragging about it for a long time before. If the price of bragging was lower, he would not be able to bear the effort he had spent so long. .
When Li Xiang finished speaking, he was a little afraid to look at the two people in front of him. After all, the price exchanged from the system was only five dollars, which was cabbage among cabbages.
"Very good……"
Just when Li Xiang didn't dare to look at the two people, they actually said these three words at the same time. Although the price was already ridiculously high, the price was really not expensive based on the quality of the knife.
For senior young men like them, 3,500 Guan is indeed a lot, but it is not an unattainable number. In the past, they also wanted to have a handy weapon, but unfortunately the top weapons were all concentrated on them. In his hands, even if he took out 10,000 yuan, he probably wouldn't be able to buy it.
"There are three thousand five hundred strings outside the door. Your Highness, please send someone to take inventory."
Yuchi Baolin pointed to the door. He asked his men to pull a few carts. This was all his working capital over the years. Although it was a bit painful to spend it, it was enough to get such a precious sword. No problem. In the past, the money was just lying around and sleeping in the bank, so there was no place to buy a sword.
"I will send you money in the afternoon. If he wants it, I have to have it. I have to get it when he wants it. I can also promise him anything he can promise you."
Although Changsun Chong didn't bring any money, he quickly added that he was afraid of falling behind.
"If that's the case, then I will work hard and strive to successfully forge it for my two uncles as soon as possible. However, the two uncles also understand that the construction period of a good knife is long. Even if I work day and night, it will still be a month later. .”
Li Xiang stretched out a finger.
"This is natural. The construction period cannot be sloppy. It doesn't matter if we wait for a month. We can afford to wait for one and a half months. The most important thing is to have this quality."
Yuchi Baolin quickly emphasized, after waiting for such a long time, can't he wait for a month?
"Uncle Baolin, don't worry. Before the new knife is forged, this knife will be handed over to Uncle Baolin for use. After the new knife comes out, he will exchange it with uncle. If it breaks in the middle, it means that my knife is not worth it. This money."
Li Xiang said very grandly.
"Your Highness is quick to do things. From now on, he will not be an uncle or uncle. We are not that particular. I am a few years older than you. From now on, you can just call me Brother Baolin."
Yuchi Baolin patted Li Xiang on the shoulder. Li Xiang almost couldn't stand still. This is still a modified body. If it hadn't been modified, you would probably have a slight injury in these two times. No wonder it was A leading figure among the second generation generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Changsun Chong opened his mouth next to him, but he didn't dare to say this. If he and Li Xiang were brothers, he would be beaten to death by Changsun Wuji when he returned home. They don't have real relatives, but you have relatives here. of.
"Your Highness, everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. Little Yuchi and I came first. After we go out, I don't know how many people will come to ask for a knife. They can't be in front of us, right?"
Changsun Chong suddenly thought of another thing. The two of them could think of coming to Li Xiang to buy knives. There were more people wielding knives and guns in Chang'an City, and there were even more people in the entire Tang Dynasty. If all those people came, they couldn't Has it delayed our progress?
"Cousin, please don't worry. I will issue a receipt to you immediately. Brother Baolin will be first, and you will be second. When the time comes, we will pick up the knives in this order. However, the output should not be high, mainly because the various materials are too precious. Even if After searching the entire city of Chang'an, there won't be many of them."
Li Xiang said this deliberately. Things are rare and valuable. If you fill the streets with them, who would be willing to buy knives from you? Those people would probably have been unwilling to buy them for a long time.
"That's how it should be. There are no rules. Whoever brings the money has to give it first. I think you have something to do here. You can go to my brother's house for a drink some other time."
Yuchi Baolin got Li Xiang's receipt and carefully put it in his arms. This receipt was worth 3,500 yuan. Of course, money was not important. The most important thing was to be the first to get the sword.
Changsun Chong immediately ordered his servants to go back and get the money. This guy didn't leave either. He just sat here and waited. After the servants brought the money, he also took a knife from Li Xiang and used it first. It was that piece of paper, and this guy happily left with Yuchi Baolin.
Seven thousand dollars is so easy to make...
"Has the big house in the city been completed?"
Li Xiang suddenly thought of this matter. In addition to storing money, he also had to buy a few more houses as forging workshops. Li Xiang had to guide the stall, as well as some secret recipes for forging swords and a hundred craftsmen. , it is impossible to expect them to forge swords that are equal to those in the system, but the inferior ones should be fine.
The most important thing is that with this workshop, people in the city will know where it was forged. If you don't even have a forging workshop and just take out these things casually, then It will make others suspicious!
"Everything has been arranged when we return to His Highness. It is not far from the palace, and the area is very large. It is two mansions combined into one. It was originally the official residence of Mr. Tian, the Minister of the Ministry of War. Now Mr. Tian has retired and sold it to his hometown. We spent a total of 1,100 yuan."
Feng Yi was responsible for this matter, and he already had the property deed in his hand.
"You continue to buy houses in the past two days, whether they are residences, shops or other workshops. But try to ensure safety. Also buy a few more farms outside the city. No matter what the price, just buy them."
Li Xiang now also feels the feeling of being wealthy.
