According to the agreement between Mr. Zhu and Mr. Wu, after this year's Spring Festival, several of them will go to the county town to join the army under Mr. Wu.

On this day, several people practiced martial arts on the back mountain as usual, resting in the middle, sitting on rocks, drinking water, and eating some dry food to replenish their strength.

At this time, Zhu Ye seemed to have remembered something, so he smashed his mouth.

"Brother, I remembered something. We still have more than half a year before we officially join the army. Although we are young, in terms of size and martial arts, we are definitely not inferior to those soldiers. Just talk about my pair.

Hammer, I'm afraid that Mr. Wu himself may not be able to dance."

Halfway through the words, Liu He felt a little confused and didn't know what he wanted to say.

Zhu Ye chuckled and then continued: "You think about it, with our martial arts skills, we can't always be soldiers at the bottom, right? So I thought, before we join the army, we should buy a suit of armor and look majestic.

Some."

Zhu Ye's logic of preface and follow-up made Liu He and others amused.

But Le Gui Le, what he said is correct.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, corruption was rampant in all walks of life in the military and government. The cost of weapons and armor for soldiers was often exploited at all levels. What was actually issued to soldiers was basically just a piece of goods, with no real protective capabilities.

.

Therefore, if a family with some capital has a descendant who joins the army, the family will often buy a set of genuine equipment.

Of course, the Zhu family is far from being able to compare with the children of such aristocratic families. Forget about magical weapons and BMW horses, but they are still capable of buying a few decent armors for a few people.

"Just having armor doesn't mean you're majestic. You have to ride a big horse to be majestic."

Zhang Yu covered her mouth with her hands and said with a smile.

Zhu Ye didn't hear the joke in her words, but his eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, the girl from the Zhang family is smarter and thinks much more thoughtfully than me. She needs to buy a few more handsome and majestic horses. Well, yes, yes!"

Zhu Ye became a little excited and slapped each other with his hammers. The banging sound made Zhang Yu lose his mind to read and had to put the book down.

Liu He looked at the noisy people and smiled helplessly.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble. Your hammer is so heavy and the sound when you slap it is too loud. Look, it's so noisy that the Zhang family girls can't read."

Zhu Ye always listened to Liu He. When he said this, he quickly stopped tapping and looked at Zhang Yu. When he saw that she had put down the book, he stuck out his tongue and put the hammers aside.

Seeing that he had settled down, Liu He spoke.

"We have been training hard for five years now. With our current strength, we are probably a bit better than ordinary military attachés. With such strength, it is appropriate to be equipped with some good equipment and weapons."

"However, although the weapons of the few of us now are not magic weapons, after practicing for the past few years, we are still good at it, and we are not in a hurry to change them at the moment. So based on this calculation, armor and war horses are what we need to buy right now.

Something.”

As soon as Liu He finished speaking, Zhu Ye slapped his thigh.

"Haha, eldest brother said the same, so it's settled. I'll ask my father to buy three sets of armors and three horses tomorrow."

Liu He reached out and slapped Zhu Ye hard on the head. Zhu Ye sat back and looked at Liu He aggrievedly.

"You guy, I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you so anxious?"

Zhu Ye pursed his lips, looking like he had a grievance that he couldn't express, which made a few people laugh again.

"You don't know how expensive it is when you're not a rich man. Do you know how much three sets of armor and three war horses cost?"

Zhu Ye shook his head, how could he know such a thing.

Liu He knew that he would react this way, so he patiently explained.

"A set of really good armor costs at least two to three thousand, and as much as ten or twenty thousand is not uncommon. And a strong war horse in our Bingzhou costs at least ten or twenty thousand, and with a body and weapons like ours

They are all so heavy that ordinary war horses cannot carry them. It has to be a good war horse, which can easily cost forty, fifty thousand or even hundreds of thousands of dollars per horse. You just want three sets of these, do you want Zhufu to sell iron?

?”

Liu Heben had studied the history of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, and knew a thing or two about these data. He also deliberately inquired about it these days, so he knew it.

Bingzhou is already on the border, and to the north is the prairie, so the price of war horses is not high. In Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou and other places, it is normal for a good war horse to sell for two to three hundred thousand, let alone the southern states.

carry.

When Zhu Ye and Zhang Yong heard what he said, their jaws almost dropped.

"My dear, if you want to buy everything, wouldn't it cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars? Oh my god, the four of us in the Zhang family will never be able to save so much money even if we work day and night for a lifetime."

Zhang Yong opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, and Zhu Ye was so shocked that he even broke out in cold sweat.

"My dear, it's so scary. Being a general is really expensive!"

Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye looked at each other with drooped and disappointed expressions. Only Zhang Yu looked at Liu He and smiled.

Liu He felt a little strange when he saw Zhang Yu's smile.

"Sister Yu, why are you laughing all of a sudden? Could it be that my brother painted a cat on my face?"

After saying that, he made a show of wiping it on his face, which made Zhang Yu smile even more happily.

"It's not that brother Liu has a cat on his face, but I see you are so calm and I guess you must have an idea, so I laugh at these two brothers."

When the two people heard this, they quickly straightened their faces and looked at Liu He curiously.

"Ahem..." Liu He was so frightened by their looks that he coughed a few times.

"I don't have money, but I have ways to make money."

After hearing this, the two of them immediately became excited and hurriedly sat closer.

"Have you forgotten that the medicinal diet and medicinal baths we take every day are priceless things?"

When Liu He said these words, the two of them immediately understood.

Liu He has two medicinal gardens in his hands, and the second medicinal garden has almost been harvested. However, many medicinal herbs in the first medicinal garden have grown and matured again in the past few years.

Although these herbs are not expensive, and the truly valuable ginseng is not something Liu He can sell, even ordinary herbs can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of dollars as long as they are in large quantities.

"Let's put the armor matter aside for now. This horse is in urgent need. After all, the art of horse control cannot be learned in three or two days. Since you are willing to respect me as your eldest brother, of course you can't hold me back. Since weapons and armor

Uncle Zhu is out, so let me take charge of these three war horses. Tomorrow we will collect some herbs, and we will go to the county drugstore to exchange coins, and then buy three war horses."
