Chapter 877 I can't take this loss
"Boom--"
In front of everyone, a wall that was at least five feet long fell down with a bang.
Although the emperor has seen many worlds, he also saw the blue brick walls that were knocked down by the arrow in the military weapon surveillance yesterday.
But that's different from this.
The walls have been for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have been disrepaired for so long.
The bricks on the walls here are all red, and they are obviously high-quality bricks and stones.
Let’s talk about the area where the wall collapses.
The military weapon was only poured out a small piece, but the one in front of me fell at least five feet long.
The power is greater and which one is weak, you can tell at a glance.
"Your Majesty, this time the wall may be too thin. Last time we tried, these three arrows were tied tightly to the wall."
"We tried it, and I think what Zhao Da said can be used for the soldiers to climb."
"If it is a siege in the future, in addition to its huge lethality, it can also provide a similar effect of a ladder." Cheng Chumo explained to the emperor.
"Can soldiers climb?" A trace of shock flashed across the emperor's face.
An arrow can allow the soldiers to climb, and it must be deeply rooted on the city wall.
Otherwise, it would be killing the soldiers.
A eight-ox crossbow can not only effectively kill the enemy, but also give it the effect of a ladder.
This can be considered a killing two birds with one stone.
The emperor was very satisfied. The better the effect of the Eight Niu Crossbow, the more he could convince all officials to pay.
"No, you are all very good at making such a powerful thing, I am very satisfied." The emperor nodded and everyone.
Just this sentence, Cheng Chumo and the others looked excited.
"Your Majesty is apologizing, I am ashamed of you."
"The Baniu Crossbow is all the gentleman's idea. We just help with it, it's nothing."
"It depends on your Majesty's great blessing to make such powerful weapons."
The students in the academy were praised by the emperor for a few words, and they all spoke and said flattering words to the emperor.
The emperor was very happy.
At least if you praise Zhao Chen for a few words, you will definitely not say these pleasing words to yourself.
As for Zhao Chen, if they were so sensible, they would not be so angry that they would not be so angry.
"I saw it all, how about it? Do you have the confidence to sell this thing to the officials?" Seeing the emperor walking back with excitement on his face, Zhao Chen stood up and asked.
The emperor certainly has confidence.
Such a powerful weapon, even if he has no money, he has to get it.
Whoever dares to stop the officials is the enemy of him, the emperor.
"Although you are annoying to search on weekdays, this method is still really good."
"Tomorrow I will bring all the officials to see it, otherwise those guys will not let go so easily."
"By the way, you have to come with me tomorrow and cooperate with me. Do you understand?" The emperor pulled Zhao Chen aside and whispered to him.
The emperor believed that these eight ox crossbows could conquer all officials in the court.
Anyway, if Zhao Chen doesn't see the money, he will definitely not hand over the production method of the Eight Niu Crossbow easily.
And even if the emperor didn't want the kickbacks Zhao Chen gave him, Zhao Chen still wanted so much.
Since this is the case, then after taking some of the money back, wouldn’t it just for the officials to win back?
Thinking of this, the emperor instantly understood.
"Zhao Chen, you are really good at this. It's the first time I have seen such a powerful weapon." Empress Changsun walked to Zhao Chen and nodded with satisfaction.
Although the identity cannot be revealed.
But Empress Changsun could also foresee that if all the officials saw such powerful Eight Niu Crossbow, they would definitely be as shocked as her.
As a mother, how could she be unhappy with her son so capable?
"It's OK." Zhao Chen nodded with a smile. He was still very modest in front of Queen Changsun.
"Okay, seeing that it is going to snow this time, hurry up and go back." Empress Changsun smiled and stroked her hair that was chaotic by the wind with her hands.
...
"Your Majesty really plans to join Zhao Chen, so sell this weapon to yourself?" Empress Changsun covered her hands and asked the emperor in the carriage.
She asked when she saw the excitement on the emperor's face.
However, the power of the Eight Cow Crossbow did shock Empress Changsun.
This powerful weapon must be equipped with the Tang army.
"Hey, Guanyin Bi, you're right. This time I really want to sell these Eight Cow Crossbows to myself." The emperor smiled.
"This thing is truly unique, and it also has its own strengths compared to the thunder of the sky."
"If I don't get it, I will always feel a little uneasy."
"But if you want to get it, it is impossible not to give it money."
"Zhao Chen, that little bastard, is that he will not show off the rabbit. I can work with him and get some of the money back."
"If I don't cooperate with him, then all the money will be in his pocket."
"I can't eat this loss." The emperor continued to talk to Empress Changsun about his plans.
The emperor knew very well.
If he hadn't put his ideas on the money in Zhao Chen's yard, Zhao Chen wouldn't have agreed to share the 64-quarters with him.
Of course, the emperor also knew that Zhao Chen wanted to make more money with his own hands.
But as long as the things are good, you can make a profit.
The emperor felt that Zhao Chen was still sensible and knew that he had no money, so he found a way to give him money.
"Your Majesty and Zhao Chen are really... brave and resourceful." Empress Changsun paused for a moment, as if she hadn't thought about how to describe the two of them, and she put on such a word.
"Haha, let's not talk about anything else, I also like the character of this kid, Guanyin Bi, Zhao Chen."
"Many times, I treat him as my old friend." The emperor laughed, his face full of joy.
As soon as the emperor's car returned to the palace, he immediately called Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The old guy, the Minister of Revenue, is also stingy.
Maybe I was used to being poor before, so I like to be careful in everything.
Every year, the treasury's money and grain must be distributed clearly to him.
Nothing can be made wrong.
The emperor's private warehouse is empty every year, so the emperor often discusses with Liu Zheng to see if he can get more money from the treasury to his private warehouse every year.
But, Liu Zhenghui was so stingy that the emperor said nothing was useless.
I give 100,000 chunks of constant money every year.
I won't give you an extra copper plate.
As for the emperor, I asked Liu Zhenghui to come this time, and I wanted to ask him again whether he would give him any money to increase his money.
If it doesn't rise, he will really want to make a fortune with Zhao Chen.
"My memory, Liu Zhenghui, pays homage to Your Majesty!" Liu Zhenghui bowed to the emperor in Ganquan Palace.
"Give a seat." The emperor looked at Liu Zhenghui with a smile.
The eunuch brought the cushion, and Liu Zhenghui knelt down below and looked up at the emperor.
Liu Zhenghui didn't have to think about it. The emperor called himself the Minister of Revenue, and 99% of it was for money.
The revenue of the treasury this year has doubled compared with last year.
Liu Zhenghui roughly estimated that it should be ten million.
This time, Liu Zhenghui suddenly changed from a poor man to a rich man. He was so excited that he didn't fall asleep for several nights.
He did not tell the emperor directly about this news.
The emperor is used to being poor, and it is good to be frugal, but money should be spent where it should be spent.
