Chapter 36 Returning to the Imperial Capital

On the beach, the sound of the waves is still the same, and it is still the place where the last transaction was made, that is, the place Li Xian chose as the port. Wei Zhe came here again on behalf of the Sea Clan.

"It's only been more than two months, and you guys have finished all the weapons?" Wei Zhe was surprised, and after more than two months, Li Xian took the initiative to contact him. At this time, Wei Zhe was preparing for the New Year, but Li Xian slipped out halfway.

Li Xian said simply, "Senior Wei, please check."

Someone nearby has already lifted the rough linen, and the 1 million catty weapons customized by the Sea Clan are all neatly placed on the beach. And the most conspicuous ones are the five tridents.

But Wei Zhe couldn't open his eyes all of a sudden, it was too... dazzling!

Yes, Li Xian did put a lot of effort into these weapons; after Liu Bin finished polishing, Li Xian asked Liu Bin to polish it again with burlap mixed with shell powder. Anyway, with a machine tool is also very simple.

Grinding weapons with bone powder, etc., is what Li Xian saw from Japanese samurai swords, which can make the blade shine brighter than a mirror; now it is borrowed by Li Xian, but it is close to the sea, and Li Xian chooses shells to make powder.

And this time the result of the polishing is just that - dazzling!

The stainless steel is already bright, but after polishing it again, a mirror effect appears directly. All the weapons are shining in the sun, competing for beauty, like treasures.

As for whether such a smooth weapon can be held, Li Xian said—whatever! Anyway, the blueprints given by the Sea Clan didn't explain it, so we did our best, and it was just a little bit "too good", which is called doing our best.

In fact, Li Xian is not just a prank, but also wants to express the ability of the firm in this way.

Except for the three huge tridents, the hilts of the rest of the swords are engraved with rough patterns for easy handling.

Wei Zhe is naturally not an idiot. Although the quality of these weapons looks good, he pointed out the problem with the trident, "It's too smooth to hold."

Li Xian is very honest: "Senior Wei, we are all familiar with swords and swords, and know how to use them; but we don't know how to use a trident, so we don't know where to carve patterns."

"Eh..." Wei Zhe was also stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and finally smiled helplessly, "You guys did a good job, throw all these things into the sea."

But Wei Zhe also thought of it, how to use the trident depends on the opinions of those patrolling Yakshas. Having said that, this mirror-like weapon looks really nice.

Throwing them into the sea is very simple. Wei Zhe casts a freezing spell, and thin ice appears on the ground; Li Xian asks his men to push these weapons into the sea.

Then Li Xian pointed to the row of carriages next to him:

"Senior Wei, these things are the commodities we prepared. Including 10 newly researched crystal chandeliers specially researched for the imperial palace, and 1,000 mirrors with different styles. 500 pieces of ordinary lanterns.

There are also a thousand pure-color glass balls one meter in size, including colorless, green, blue, red, yellow, black, white, purple and more than a dozen colors.

In addition, there are 300 pieces of fine silk. "

"So many?" Wei Zhe looked at each of them one by one, and couldn't put it down. Let’s just talk about mirrors. This time, Li Xian really put in a lot of effort, such as heart-shaped, gourd-shaped, round and flat, gold-rimmed, silver-rimmed, Daxia style, and other countries’ styles. Yes, there are even a lot of earth styles in Li Xian's memory. There are a thousand mirrors, but none of them is the same.

The large crystal chandelier is nothing to see, because it is all wrapped in linen and placed in a box; but one lamp needs four large boxes to be packaged, which is quite impressive.

There are also the thousand pieces of glassware, which are "showcases" for next year's mass production, and they are naturally beautiful. Although natural jade and crystals are good, their colors are monotonous after all. How can they compare with the rich and bright colors of glass that can be freely mixed.

The items are all very good and there are a lot of them, but Wei Zhe has a problem - he didn't prepare so much money.

Li Xian smiled generously: "The mirror, chandelier, and glassware are New Year's gifts for Princess Ao Qingxue."

"If that's the case, then I'll accept it on behalf of the princess." Wei Zhe immediately became more enthusiastic and overflowing, and immediately arranged for the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to start carrying them.

"Senior Wei, next year we will exchange for more spiritual threads, please prepare early. Also, please send greetings to Princess Ao Qingxue on Li Xian's behalf."

"OK."

Seeing all the members of the Sea Clan recede and seeing the sea water calm down again, Li Xian smiled triumphantly, turned and left. Why is Li Xian proud? Of course, it is because the relationship with the Sea Clan has basically been confirmed—at least the friendly and cooperative relationship has been confirmed. Then the next step, that is, next year, there will be big steel ships floating on the sea.

After Li Xian went back, he cleaned up a bit and went to see his elder brother Li Liang first, but Li Liang couldn't leave and needed to stay in Anyang. But within half an hour, Li Xian ran out in embarrassment—the sister-in-law was going to recommend her sister again. Li Xian's performance is getting better and better, and the sister-in-law's enthusiasm is also rising steadily.

In the afternoon, Li Xian officially set off for the imperial capital. This time, they brought a full 300 carriages of goods, including 12 crystal chandeliers, which were used to open up the top market, specifically targeting the two levels of rich and indescribable.

There are also the latest lanterns and cartoon lamps, glassware for preliminary display, a few bright stainless steel weapons that can illuminate people, and a full 6,000 bolts of cloth—this is He Lin who worked overtime to weave, as well as some usual inventory.

In addition, Li Xian also brought a special product - a total of 50 engines! These engines were rushed out in the past few days. They are not big and rough. They are one foot high and two feet long. They have only two chambers and a power of one horsepower. Splicing.

Such an engine has a very short lifespan, only three to five months; but Li Xian is confident that it can definitely detonate the imperial capital.

Of course, Li Xian, who is quite a profiteer, will not simply sell the engine, but sell it with a simple textile machine.

"Are you really going to sell the engine?!" Xu Ren was anxious, "This is the heart of the industry, and I still can't figure out why. I still don't approve of the sale."

But it turned out that when Li Xian decided to sell the engine, Xu Ren stopped him; but this time Li Xian did not follow Xu Ren's suggestion, but resolutely sold it.

Faced with Xu Ren's obstruction, Li Xian said this: I am not as good as my husband in terms of strategy, but my husband is not as good as me in terms of industry and related businesses; please guess what is Li Xian's purpose in doing this?

On the matter of selling the engine, Li Xian can be said to go his own way - at least it seems so, and everyone is against it.

As a result, when the team was about to leave, Xu Ren still prevented Li Xian from selling the engine, and his attitude was very firm.

"Sir, why haven't you figured it out? If you want to get something, you have to give it first. You need bait for fishing."

"These are completely different things." Xu Ren couldn't believe it.

"Okay, sir, please listen to me one by one."
