Datang: At the beginning, I wanted to rebel against my father-in-law

Chapter 19 Expensive weapons!
Changsun Wuji's words represented the thoughts of most people, because many people kept nodding their heads at this time, and their eyes on Cheng Yaojin became a little strange.

To be honest, if Cheng Yaojin hadn't personally watched Li Shimin's release, he wouldn't have believed there was anything special about these things.

"His Majesty said that these weapons are far superior to what we are currently using. With these weapons, they will play a vital role in the next war against Tibet!" Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath and said again.

This is what Li Shimin specifically told him to do. Before letting these people see the function of the weapon, he must talk about the function of the weapon.

The more disbelief everyone expressed, the more he would exaggerate. Only in this way can he achieve the goal of shocking everyone, and it will be much easier for them to agree to use the money from the treasury.

"I don't see anything special about it. Both the shape and volume are similar to the ones we use. Your Majesty must have been deceived by someone, right?"

"Who says it's not? It's ridiculous to dare to say that it can change the situation of the battle!"

"What's the use of just talking, we have to see it with our own eyes, otherwise empty words are useless, don't we just say what we want?"

Sure enough, as soon as Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, there was an uproar all around, and everyone looked at those weapons with disdain.

"General Cheng, if you don't mind, let us see the extraordinary power of these weapons. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public with just a few words..." Changsun Wuji hesitated and said.

In fact, he said these words just to give Cheng Yaojin face, and he didn't want to embarrass him too much. He didn't have much hope for what kind of effect these weapons could have.

"In that case...then I'll try it!" Cheng Yaojin pretended to be helpless, sighed and nodded.

Afterwards, under the signal of Cheng Yaojin, several logs as thick as thighs were lifted up and placed on the school yard.

The people who came here immediately dispersed, watching Cheng Yaojin prepare everything with piercing eyes.

Those who can stand here are all smart people, they naturally know what Cheng Yaojin wants to do.

It didn't take long for the pieces of wood to be placed, and Cheng Yaojin personally picked up one of the big knives and walked over slowly.

"Everyone, take care..." At this moment, Cheng Yaojin's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of mockery.

Then, he stopped talking nonsense, turned the big knife in his hand, and rushed towards one of the logs at an extremely fast speed.

Cheng Yaojin's movements are completely different from Li Shimin's. His moves are full of visual impact, especially in conjunction with his muscular figure.

Just a simple move can make the crowd full of praise.

"boom……"

The sharp knife easily passed through the thick wood like a thigh, and split it in two. The upper part fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Cheng Yaojin's speed is really too fast...

The onlookers didn't realize it. They didn't even see clearly what Cheng Yaojin did just now, and the log broke immediately.

"Everyone, take care, the big swords that are being used in our army can't do this at all..." Cheng Yaojin shook the big sword in his hand, looked at everyone with a smile and said.

Until this time, very few people discovered Cheng Yaojin's anomaly.

The other party obviously knew that this would be the result, and the state just now was just a deliberate one.

People like Changsun Wuji quickly figured out why Cheng Yaojin did this, and also knew who was behind the scenes who taught him this trick.

"This"

"It's unbelievable that the wood was cut off so easily"

"There's nothing wrong with that log, is it? How could it be cut so easily?"

There were discussions all around again, and most people's eyes fell on the chopped wood.

After all, this is too impactful. People who have never seen this scene naturally think that there may be something wrong with the wood.

Cheng Yaojin seemed to have known this would happen a long time ago, he immediately asked someone to bring over the big sword that was being used in the army, and also specially asked someone to hand over the big knife to everyone for inspection.

Then... Cheng Yaojin repeated the action just now, and the broadsword used in the army was still cut off easily.

It wasn't until this time that everyone realized that the weapons Cheng Yaojin took back were by no means as simple as they appeared on the surface.

in the next time.

Cheng Yaojin also showed other types of weapons separately, and the result was the same. The sharpness of these weapons far exceeded any weapons currently used in the army.

This moment made everyone excited...

The war between Datang and Tubo is inevitable, and it is only a matter of time before it starts.

As Cheng Yaojin said, if these weapons can be applied to the army, it will definitely improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty.

"General Cheng, according to what His Majesty said, we will buy such weapons in large quantities, so... what is the price?" Wei Zheng, who had been silent all this time, looked at Cheng Yaojin seriously and asked.

Even he was overwhelmed by the power of these weapons just now, but Wei Zheng immediately thought of another very important question.

Since this weapon is so powerful, the price will naturally be extraordinary.

Now that the war is imminent, the consumption of military expenditure is an extremely terrifying figure. Now that we need to buy such powerful weapons in large quantities, the price is very critical.

"20 taels of silver..." Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath, picked up the first big knife and shook it.

Even though he had known the prices of these weapons for a long time, he couldn't help but gasp when he said it now.

"What? 20 taels?" Wei Zheng's face darkened immediately.

Not only him, but everyone who came here couldn't control their emotions when they heard the price, and some even started to curse.

Those who sell weapons clearly want to take advantage of others. At such an expensive price, how many times can you buy the equipment that is used today.

"Your Majesty has said that with such a weapon, our chances of winning against Tubo will be greater. Once the war is won, we will get back a hundred times what we have paid today!" At this time, Cheng Yaojin took Li Shimin The words were repeated.

Thinking of the role of these weapons on the battlefield, and thinking of what Li Shimin said, the emotional crowd began to calm down.

Thinking about making Tubo suffer, everyone including Wei Zheng could only grit their teeth and nod in agreement...
