Good man, he has a golden finger

Although he knew that the kitchen knife was a good thing, the emperor couldn't help but pat Xie Tingzhou on the head for his brother's complacent look.

"If you do something behind my back again, don't blame me for hitting you."

The emperor imitated Xie Tingzhou's words, and the sadness between the two brothers disappeared at this time. Then the emperor took the fine steel kitchen knife from Xie Tingzhou's hand, stroked the blade, and found that it was light and flexible, and most importantly, it was really sharp!

"Humph! I know that the prince brother is reluctant to hit me, and what's wrong with this kitchen knife? It's much better than our weapons."

Xie Tingzhou shouted to the outside.

"Imperial Guards come in!!!"

The palace maids and eunuchs outside were guarding. After a while, the big companion came out with an imperial guard, and then Xie Tingzhou took care of his face and stood up, and then walked towards the imperial guard.

"Pull out your saber for me to see."

The imperial guards didn't say anything, but just waited silently for the emperor's order.

"Give him the saber."

The emperor knew that his brother was a troublemaker, so he asked the imperial guards to take out the saber.

This is a knife with a black scabbard. When it is pulled out, it is an iron black color, and the blade is very sharp. Even so, it is still much better than the swords used in the army of the Great Yong Dynasty. Sometimes the army does not even have weapons.

After all, if a knife is used continuously, the blade will bend, especially the iron one. Some powerful generals will change a weapon after a war, otherwise the blade will really bend.

Xie Tingzhou thought the knife was very light, but as soon as he took it in his hand, he found that the knife was at least more than 20 kilograms. It was a bit unstable for Xie Tingzhou to hold it, after all, the knife was very long.

Seeing his brother's weak appearance, the emperor was also helpless, and then he explained.

"Hurry up and take the knife back from the prince."

The guard of the Imperial Guard quickly took his knife from the prince. The weapons used by the Imperial Guard were to protect His Majesty. Naturally, they were the most powerful in the Yong Dynasty. They were also very heavy. People who did not practice martial arts could not use them.

He was holding a long knife now. The emperor came over, holding something that seemed to be a kitchen knife.

"Raise the knife."

The emperor understood what his brother meant. The guard in front of him raised his knife. Then he saw the emperor holding the kitchen knife in his right hand and slashing at his big knife. Just one time, the guard's hand was shaking. The key point was that when the emperor slashed it, the iron knife in the guard's hand broke with a click...

That's right, this iron knife, which was even more powerful than the one in the army, broke! !

The guard was stunned and immediately knelt on the ground. After all, this was the guy who made a living. Now it was gone, so he would be punished.

The big companion was also shocked. He didn't expect that there was such a magical thing in the world that could cut off the iron knife.

Xie Tingzhou was not surprised to see this scene, but instead explained it seriously.

"Brother Prince, steel is harder than iron. If you really encounter a giant, iron will definitely not break. However, if used on the battlefield, the iron knife has a large force area, but it is easy to curl the blade, which is not suitable for soldiers to use. However, this steel knife has a small force area and is sharper. It is almost invincible when used in human warfare."

After all, when the opponent is holding iron, you are holding steel. Isn't this a technical crush?

The emperor looked at the kitchen knife in his hand and had to admit that his younger brother was right. Moreover, his younger brother was an ordinary person in another world. Now that he could find such a weapon, it was already powerful enough. The kitchen knife was a kitchen knife. The emperor felt that this kitchen knife had become particularly pleasing to the eye.

It's just that the younger brother's world is indeed different from the past. Such a knife made of fine steel is actually used to cut vegetables. It's a waste of nature.

"Go down, let the commander of the Imperial Guards arrange a new iron knife for you."

Letting the Imperial Guards go, the emperor was even more excited. He wished he could go to the battle himself after the New Year. He always felt that the battle after the New Year would be a battle of the ages! ! !

After the people left again, the emperor put the kitchen knife on the table.

"What is the price of this item? If I ask you to find it, is it safe?"

He still cared about his younger brother first. He could fight slowly, but his younger brother's safety was the first priority.

"This kitchen knife is very cheap, just over 100 yuan, and I bought one. Some fine steel knives are sold in sets of six, including fruit knives, kitchen knives, and the like. In our place, these are cheap. One tael of silver in the Great Yong Dynasty is about 40 grams. If it is converted into money in our place, it is less than 200 yuan. In other words, one tael of silver can buy six or eight steel knives, but the sizes are different."

Yes, Xie Tingzhou was shocked when he mentioned this. In modern society, there is a serious internal competition, and even the kitchen series have begun to roll up. After a certain brand of knife was broken by a garlic, other knife manufacturers have rolled up at the same time. What about cutting tires, cutting wood, and cutting big bones? Anyway, if you use it for a year and the blade is sharp, I will replace it for you! !

So Xie Tingzhou bought such a cheap and sharp knife, and he also called to consult. If there is a large order, sometimes you can buy a set for 100 yuan. At that time, round it up, one tael of silver can buy two sets of kitchen knives!

The emperor was shocked when he heard the result. Looking at his brother in front of him, he understood even more how powerful the other world was. No wonder the dynasty was gone.

"Zhu Zhu'er, do you know the price of the knife I just broke?"

Xie Tingzhou didn't remember it. After all, no one would tell him this in his childhood memories.

"How much?" In short, in a place with low productivity like Great Yong Dynasty, things made of iron should be expensive.

In the past, all farm tools had been improved into wooden products. Xie Tingzhou was still aware of this fact.

"Three thousand taels!"

The emperor gave Xie Tingzhou a price that stunned him.

"What?"

Xie Tingzhou was really shocked.

"My imperial army uses iron knives made of the best iron by the best craftsmen of the Yong Dynasty. Most of the weapons used in the army are spears or iron knives and bows and arrows. Among them, iron knives are the most expensive. The cheap ones cost at least thirty taels of silver, including labor and various production methods, and they are the worst-quality iron knives."

Therefore, one tael of silver can buy six to eight stainless steel kitchen knives. Even though this thing is small, it is full of lethality. It is definitely a lie if the emperor is not interested.

The emperor really invested a lot in military resources every year, otherwise he would not be able to keep harvesting wool from the Xue family. There were also many imperial merchants who paid the emperor every year. It can be said that the Yong Dynasty developed very well. Every year, the emperor You can get tens of millions of taels of silver from these merchants, but you spend it quickly! It was gone in the blink of an eye.

From food and grass to various weapons, it’s all money.

Otherwise, why were so few people rebelling in ancient times? Because there is no money and no iron ore, so why don't you build Mao's army? Feeding so many people without food or water?

"...Ah this."

Xie Tingzhou was also shocked. He had thought that the situation in his Yong Dynasty was not optimistic, but he did not expect it to be so pessimistic. He immediately looked at the emperor in front of him with great sympathy. He finally understood why the prince's brother's hair was white. It was not enough to think about the court all day long. , if you still have to count these things, who wouldn’t be ignorant?

So tired...

"I...I still have military rations that I haven't mentioned." In order to coax the emperor, whose eyes were shining, Xie Tingzhou quickly handed over the military rations he bought online.

It is said to be military rations, but it is actually compressed biscuits and cans. This stuff is not popular in modern times, but in ancient times there was nothing to eat. If it was placed in the army, it would really keep everyone full.

The silver packaging bag was clean. Xie Tingzhou specially bought biscuits without writing on them, and after opening them, they had no smell.

The emperor didn't care, and took a bite directly. He found that the thing was astringent and difficult to swallow, but it still tasted very good. It was fragrant and had a hint of sweetness. For the people of the Yong Dynasty, they were addicted to sweetness. This biscuit was really It can make people who eat it feel happy, because it is sweet and salty, and it is really delicious.

"This is called compressed biscuit, which is our military ration over there. Brother Prince, you are eating 200 grams. In fact, normal people can be full after eating 50 grams at a time. Eating one piece a day is enough to maintain mobility."

Not only that, Xie Tingzhou also took out the canned meat and canned fruits he bought. These are things that can supplement human nutrition. The most important thing is that they are cheap and easy to use. Modern people may not be used to eating them, but they may The people of Dayong Dynasty simply could not afford such good food.

The emperor had no time to speak and carefully tasted what his brother brought.

"This canned meat can be eaten as long as it is opened, and it is in an iron box. It is very convenient to transport and will not be damaged. The same goes for this canned fruit. Canned fruit can increase the ingredients needed by the human body and make people stronger."

This canned food was super sweet, almost like saccharin. Xie Tingzhou took a bite and declined, but the emperor was very happy to eat it.

Sugar from the Yong Dynasty was the most precious luxury product, and even the emperor might not be able to eat such good cans.

But in Xie Tingzhou's eyes, these are just military rations.

"Zhuzhu'er, you are really my lucky star. Whether it's a kitchen knife or military rations, I want them. Whatever you want, I will find them for you."

If the army had such a thing, wouldn't it be the most powerful army? Such a small piece of biscuits can fill a person's stomach, and even rich people can't afford these canned meats and canned fruits. If used in the army, wouldn't it encourage the whole army to be invincible?

"Brother Prince, don't worry. As long as you give the order, I will definitely send these to you. If I am short of anything, I will definitely ask you for it. Before going on the expedition, I will definitely handle the matter of military resources. I just need that. Silly son helps."

After hearing this, the emperor felt that he couldn't keep an eye on Zhu Zhuer all the time, so it would be good to leave Jinyu's child to guard Zhu Zhuer, so he nodded.

"It's all according to your words."

However, the emperor still thought about the cost of these meals and couldn't help but speak.

"Then what is the cost of these military rations?"

Xie Tingzhou was even more calm. He placed the canned meat on top of the canned fruit, and then put the compressed biscuits on top, forming a trinity.

"These three! One set only costs a hundred bucks."

When the emperor heard this result, he immediately laughed. The money saved from weapons was enough to feed the army with rations! Next year, he will definitely show the Huns that their soldiers from the Great Yong Dynasty are warriors capable of hundreds of battles and are invincible! ! !
