Chapter 125 Su Chen's Worries 【4/5】
"Currently, there are still 20,000 units of iron ore in the entire inventory of the Linhai Department.
"It's all accumulated slowly over the years by the Seaside Department, but I didn't expect Su Chen to have such a big appetite."
"How long does it take? In less than two or three months, your family will be able to eat up all the stocks of the Linhai Department for so many years."
When Qizier said this, he was a little dumbfounded.
"My appetite is not small."
The corner of Su Chen's mouth curved upwards.
"However, I can't make decisions about all the inventory of our Linhai Department, and I have to find my father.
Qizier said to Su Chen again: "I'll go back and tell my father about your purchase of iron ore."
"Let him come to discuss with you, he has a wider network than me, and he knows more people who are mining than me.
"So, for the remaining 10,000 units of iron ore, "523" can help you solve it."
"no problem."
Su Chen nodded.
After Qizier left, Su Chen also started to leave.
Pull the 15,000 units of iron ore in the warehouse to the Yanyun City Arsenal.
There are now more than a thousand blacksmiths and apprentice blacksmiths in the Intermediate Arsenal.
It is not difficult to solve the problem of building these 650 sets of full armor weapons and equipment.
【Intermediate Arsenal】
[Large iron-making furnaces: twelve. 】
[Number of blacksmiths: 415, blacksmith apprentices: 905, carpenters: 200, total manpower: 1520. 】
[Currently craftable equipment: long knife (700), gun head (2100), full set of iron armor (200), Qin Sanshi crossbow (500), Zhuge Liannu (30)]
The value in the brackets at the end is the output of each weapon and equipment every three days, referring to the output of that equipment.
The carpenters in the armory were also transferred in by Su Chen.
Now, if Yanyun City's armory workshop goes all out to build armor, it will produce 200 sets every three days.
This speed is not bad.
Although not as efficient as the Seaside Department.
After pulling the iron ore into the armory, Su Chen gave a new order to build it.
Six hundred and fifty sets of full-body iron armor, one thousand nine hundred and fifty spear heads, six hundred and fifty long knives, and six hundred and fifty nail hammers.
All of these will cost 14,950 units of iron ore.
And these are the equipment of 650 people in Su Chen's new army.
After arranging the building order of the armory, Su Chen then went to the weaving room.
Su Chen then arranged for another 4,000 sets of military robes and 4,000 pairs of soap boots to be manufactured.
And these require a total of 600 units of cloth.
The reason why the expansion of 2,000 people is to make clothes for 4,000 people is that there are two sets of clothes for each person, one for wearing and one for replacement.
Fortunately, the height of the general NPC is relatively average.
Basically, the average is between 1.77 and 1.83 meters.
Therefore, the clothes only need to be made according to a prescribed one-size-fits-all.
Moreover, this kind of sergeant's robes are not like the modern military uniforms that must fit. Basically, there is no difference in wearing them.
After Su Chen arranged these orders, Qi Qilie came.
"Su Chen, I heard from Qizier that you are going to expand your army and need a lot of iron ore."
Before seeing the figure of old man Qi Qilie, that loud voice had already reached Su Chen's ears.
"That's right, Mr. Qi Qilie, I need at least 35,500 units of iron ore.
Su Chen had just returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and came out again, and said to Qi Qilie.
"Iron Mine, you should find me Qi Qilie for this."
"Hahahaha, there are still 23,000 units of iron ore in stock in the Linhai Department. If you want to take it, then we will give you 70% of the market price."
"The remaining 12,500 iron mines are also easy to handle. I know people from other mining tribes. Although they are not as good as the Linhai tribe, they can pool together more than 10,000 units of iron mines for you. ."
Qi Qilie walked in, patted Su Chen on the shoulder, and said
"No, old man, I have taken advantage of the Linhai Department enough. I can't pay 70% of the market price, 1,500 copper coins per unit, which is not a lot. I will buy it."
Su Chen shook his head and said to Qi Qilie.
"You child."
Qi Qilie frowned, but said nothing.
"Master, I have a doubt.
Su Chen looked at Qi Qilie and asked..
"you say."
"Old man, Qizier said before that the Linhai Department is the largest supplier of weapons and equipment for Qingshi City. If you sell all the iron ore to me, then what will you use to deal with Qingshi City in the future?"
Su Chen looked at Qi Qilie and asked.
"You don't have to worry about that."
"I used to have a good friendship with the previous King of Bluestone, so our Linhai Department provided equipment for Bluestone City, but now, the previous King of Bluestone has passed away."
"And look at the new Zhenhu, what kind of thing is he? When I saw him before, I didn't even look him in the eye."
"You still want the equipment from our seaside department? Pooh!"
As Qi Qilie said, he laughed again: "Besides, Su Chen, you don't know that our Linhai Department does business with your Yanyun City and earns more than that of Qingshi City.
"And look, haven't you just rounded up all the iron ore we have stockpiled for so many years?"
"With the money from this order, our Linhai Department doesn't need to do that loss-making business for Qingshi City."
After listening to Qi Qilie's words, Su Chen understood.
Even in Qingshi City, the iron armor equipment rate in the army is only one-tenth.
Even less, after all tens of thousands of troops, it is impossible for Qingshi City to have so much money to equip them all with iron armor.
There is also only elite military equipment.
Moreover, Qingshi City also has its own team of iron 3.4 craftsmen. In this way, even if the Linhai Department is the largest supplier of weapons and equipment in Qingshi City, the number will not be too large.
As for building weapons and equipment for Yanyun City, even with the favor of Qi Qilie's family in the middle, it will be a lot cheaper for Su Chen.
But the one-time earning is much more than the order Qingshi City gave them.
After all, before this, Su Chen had spent 30 million copper coins in order to build an army of more than 1,000 people at this stage.
And the 30 million copper coins were basically given to the Linhai Ministry.
Therefore, in the future, the Linhai Department only needs to have Yanyun City.
There is no need for Qingshi City anymore.
And this also dispelled Su Chen's worries. After all, he was still worried that his attack on Qingshi City would affect the Linhai Department, but now it seems that he was unnecessary. .
