Chapter 1089 Changping County Head 45

Isn’t it like giving away every penny for free?

Butler Xiao looked puzzled: "The common people were worried about not having enough arrows, and they used each other on weekdays. One article was an arrow, and such good things were naturally beneficial to the people. Just one article was a matter of one article, and the blacksmith was not worth the capital."

Xiao Zhan next to him also replied: "That's true. A good bow is usually 500 min per, while the worst bow is 100 min. Arrows are 20 to 50 min per, and even the arrows are 100 min per, it costs at least 10 min."

Xining immediately asked: "How much does it cost to pack a blacksmith shop to provide ten arrows to the people of the whole city?"

Uh... the county lord is really rich and willful. The blacksmith thought it was too little, so he simply bought a blacksmith shop.

Butler Xiao quickly reported the number: "The average master is a monthly silver ten tael, the young master is a monthly silver three or five tael, an apprentice is about one or two taels, and a shop, at least one master and a little master, and they are usually a father-son shop. There are also various expenses such as firewood, and three or five taels of silver are enough. If you are willing to exempt a month's rent, it is enough for the county lord to be the boss."

Xining nodded: "Then give twenty taels to cast arrows specifically. Only people from Linyi County can buy them, one cent per cent, only one month. The arrows are not allowed to be taken out of the city. After use, they can be repurchased for one cent and re-melted into iron ingots for storage. Then go to County Mayor Zhou to hand over 100 taels of silver, and then ask the officers and soldiers at the door to keep a close eye. Those who dare to bring the arrows out privately will be punished as having an affair with the Huns!"

Butler Xiao bowed: "The county magistrate is meticulous, and I am convinced. It's just..."

Xining smiled and said, "Tell me, don't give me a candy before taking medicine."

Butler Xiao also smiled: "Then let me just say it directly. This time, more than 1,000 kilograms of iron ingots were transported. The total number of people in Linyi County was only 1,000. One arrow was half a twelve, and one thousand people were ten, and ten thousand arrows were only 5,000 kilograms of iron. The remaining iron was easily rusted after being stored for a long time, and it was necessary to take care of it. Apply oil and guard it every day."

"That's it~" Xining turned around and asked, "Hey, what kind of swords and guns are not considered private weapons after being built? If you can say it, I will give you five taels of silver."

The man outside said happily: "Think about Rong Beizhi."

Butler Xiao smiled bitterly. The county lord is really good at spending money. If he doesn't do business, how can he support such spending money like flowing water?

One month later, in Xuanzheng Hall, Liu Biao saw the King of Han kneeling and saluting. He raised his head and said, "I have reported that the Changping County Lord impeached the Changping County Master to form a clique for personal gain, raise dead soldiers, and build weapons privately, and there is a suspicion of rebellion."

The King of Han sat there and watched it. After a while, "Uncle Emperor seems to have no relationship with Changping. Why did he think of impeaching her today?"

Liu Biao's old face was tense and full of righteousness, and he bowed and bowed: "Although I have no past with the lord of Changping County, I have to say it when I hear this. Advice is my duty, let alone such a serious crime, Your Majesty has to investigate."

The King of Han sat there like this. After a while, he suddenly laughed: "Did the Emperor's uncle have made a grudge with someone recently?"

Liu Biao didn't know what the King of Han laughed about, but he was still upright: "I have always been afraid of the powerful and powerful, and speak out for justice. I don't know who I am aggrieved, nor am I afraid of who I am aggrieved. But why did Your Majesty say this?"

The King of Han picked up the bamboo slips on the table and smiled and said, "The Gu is known about this. This is a letter written by Changping to Gu. He said that there are many dead soldiers, secret spies, and meticulous works in the mansion. From sweeping servants to personal maids, all of them have unique skills and are hidden."

Liu Biao was shocked and widened his eyes: "Has she confessed?"

"Confession?" The King of Han smiled again and picked up the bamboo slips: "You can take a look at it yourself."

The eunuch took it with both hands and handed it to Liu Biao who was kneeling in front of him.

After taking it, Liu Biao looked at it and it was indeed written like this. The following words read: "My daughter doesn't know, and I don't know who sent them. My daughter knows that it is my uncle and uncle who is sympathetic to my daughter's young and unreliable, so I sent so many people to protect her secretly. In order to avoid suspicion, my daughter does not ask, but I thank you for taking care of my daughter. My daughter has no way to repay her. I can only ask my ancestors to bless you when burning incense and worshiping my ancestors during the holidays. I wish the Han Dynasty and the Liu family peace and well."

Well, these dead spies and spies were not from the Lord of Changping, but were sent to monitor her! No wonder the King of Han laughed just now, and after holding it in for a long time, I couldn't help laughing. There must be people he sent in it.

There are basically people in the entire mansion. The head of the county lord Ping knew about this, the King of Han knew about it, and everyone knew about it, but he didn't know about it.

As a result, he found out, and came to impeach the Changping County Lord...

No, hold on!

Liu Biao then said: "I never raise dead soldiers, so I only know one thing, not the other, so I ask Your Majesty to surrender the crime. But what happened to the Changping County Lord making weapons privately?"

The King of Han explained: "Linyi County is going to hold an archery competition. Changping thought of having fun with the people and more people participated, so he bought some iron and asked craftsmen to make it. Anyone registered in Changling County can buy ten arrows, each penny of each. All arrows must not be taken out of the county town. After the competition is over, they can be reclaimed and recast into iron ingots."

Liu Biao immediately grasped the point: "Ku Chen learned that not only cast arrows, but also other weapons. A large number of castings are casting knives!"

Knifes are weapons and cannot be allowed or made in large quantities. This is a serious crime.

"Casting a knife..." The King of Han seemed to be not anxious at all, and turned to the eunuch next to him and said, "The knife cast by the Lord of Changping seems to be brought over, and you can take it to Jingshi Liu to see."

The eunuch bent down and bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty." After retreating, he went to take it.

What? Even the knife was brought.

Liu Biao was a little unconfident. It seemed that he had told the King of Han about the matter about the Lord of Changping. If the King of Han did not agree, how could she continue?

It seems that he passed by and heard the two officials discussing things, all of which were taken out of context, probably because he really set up a trap for him to drill. Otherwise, the King of Han would not ask if he had a grudge with whom he had recently.

After a while, the eunuch held a lacquer plate and a knife on the plate, and placed it respectfully in front of Liu Biao.

There was indeed a knife on the plate... Liu Biao stared at the knife with his eyes: "Is this..."

The eunuch tried hard to hold back his laughter, but he couldn't help but curl up his lips. However, he usually just smiled, and his professional habitual face seemed to be smiling all the time, smiling slightly, and not smiling.

He replied: "Civilian Liu, this is a kitchen knife."

Kitchen Knife? Liu Biao picked up the kitchen knife and said in a whisper: "What can you do if you are so small?"

The total length of the kitchen knife is only the size of a palm. The knife handle is the same as other kitchen knives. It can be used with a wooden handle. But this kitchen knife is too small, and it is not enough to cut a small melon, but you can cut grapes and small pastries.
