Chapter 890 Decide to treat him better in the future
The emperor directly asked him how much he wanted, and Zhao Chen was a little surprised.
With the emperor's stingy temperament, if he could ask how much his own cotton would cost, then he really wanted to get the cotton.
Otherwise, even if he beat the emperor to death, he would not say such words and let others slaughter him.
"Aren't you worried that I want the 300,000 yuan that you haven't got yet?" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor with a smile.
When Old Li Tou heard Zhao Chen's words, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
He slowly regained his composure, nodded and said: "If the three hundred thousand guan can buy cotton seeds, I will naturally be willing."
The emperor said this with a lot of reluctance in his heart.
He never even saw the three hundred thousand yuan.
Just ran into Zhao Chen's pocket?
What is this thing called?
For those 300,000 yuan, he, the emperor, had joined forces with Zhao Chen, almost making it impossible for him to step down.
It's good now, Zhao Chen has made all the money for love?
"Your Majesty, you can't buy these cotton seeds for 300,000 yuan, right?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
The emperor nodded.
Such important cotton seeds are related to the life and death of people all over the world. How can they be bought with only 300,000 yuan?
Not to mention three hundred thousand strings, even three million strings or thirty million strings are not enough to compare with these cotton seeds.
"I only have 300,000 guan in my hand. Adding the 50,000 guan from before, I only have 350,000 guan at most."
"I can give it all to you." The emperor seemed to have made up his mind.
He was willing to give all his money to Zhao Chen.
Queen Changsun on the side looked at the emperor with bright eyes, thinking that although the emperor had changed a lot over the years.
But my heart is still for the people of the world.
"It seems tacky to talk about money at this time. Let's do this. You can separate the weapons supervisory department of the Ministry of War from the Ministry of War."
"This way I don't have to be under the control of Hou Jun, right?"
"Otherwise, if he upsets me, I might shoot him with the Eight Ox Crossbow." Zhao Chen said to the emperor.
Lao Li shamelessly asked himself to be the weapons supervisor, and it was clear that he wanted to take advantage of him.
If this is something that is researched in the future, he won't even have to pay for it.
Just say it was done by the weapons inspector.
This is nothing, and Zhao Chen doesn't care.
But the Ordnance Inspector is under the Ministry of War, and this old guy Hou Junji has a big grudge against him.
If he goes there, he still has to guard against Hou Junji.
Zhao Chen doesn't have much patience.
If he didn't hold back, he would really kill Hou Junji directly.
The emperor's eyelids jumped sharply when he heard Zhao Chen said that he would shoot Hou Junji with an eight-oxen crossbow.
Judging from what happened last time when Zhao Chen used a sky-blasting cannon to blow up Hou Junji's sedan chair, this little lunatic really dared to shoot through Hou Junji with an eight-niu crossbow.
Although it is said that the Ordnance Supervisor can go out independently, it must go through the deliberation of Zhongshu's subordinates.
But, compared to giving money, the emperor can still accept it.
"Is this the only condition?" the emperor asked Zhao Chen with a smile.
Most of the time, the emperor felt that Zhao Chen was quite good.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely have to ask him for an official title and money.
Well, Zhao Chen, although he said that the weapons supervisor should be made independent, don’t all the weapons of the weapons supervisor in the future belong to him?
No need to pay yet.
The emperor was very moved and decided to treat Zhao Chen better in the future.
Well, try not to hit him.
"It's as if you gave it to me if I asked for other conditions!" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor with contempt on his face.
The emperor felt ashamed, but he did not dare to refute.
"Also, in the future, the weapons developed by the weapons inspector will be priced at 500,000 yuan, so don't try to take advantage of me."
"Let's go!" Zhao Chen waved his hand, saluted Queen Changsun, and left the room.
The emperor looked a little embarrassed.
He thought Zhao Chen hadn't thought of this level, but now he realized that the clown was actually himself.
But all said and done, the emperor was still very satisfied today.
In a few years, there should be no people freezing to death in the Tang Dynasty.
"Mr. Guanyin, let's go back. Let's go back today and ask the Food Bureau to prepare two more dishes."
…
Liu Zhenghui thought about it all the way back, but the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
The emperor's behavior today was really weird.
Zhao Chen was willing to give them the blueprints and finished product of the Eight Ox Crossbow after he had to kill him for 700,000 guan.
The emperor never said a word to ask Zhao Chen to lower the price during the entire process.
Liu Zhenghui knew that the emperor was short of money.
He also wanted to give more money to the emperor every year.
But the money from the treasury has been arranged for a long time, and the emperor is given one hundred thousand guan every year, which he has squeezed out through gritted teeth.
They really made a profit from spending 700,000 yuan to buy such a powerful Eight Ox Crossbow.
But the emperor didn't even say a word.
Finally, Zhao Chen said that he would send 300,000 yuan to the emperor. At that time, Liu Zhenghui became more and more aware that the emperor was acting strangely.
Although Empress Changsun came to the rescue, the emperor's performance was too suspicious.
Liu Zhenghui wondered if the emperor had any hidden secrets with Zhao Chen.
Are you working together to cheat money?
The more he thought about this, the more Liu Zhenghui felt that something was wrong.
"Prime Minister, your Majesty is a little strange today!" Liu Zhenghui caught up with Fang Xuanling who was walking in front.
"What's weird?" Fang Xuanling asked with a smile.
"Didn't the Prime Minister find out? When Duke Zhao said he wanted 700,000 yuan, His Majesty not only didn't show any dissatisfaction."
"There is actually a hint of excitement among them."
"Although the Empress said that she helped Duke Zhao keep the 300,000 yuan, Duke Zhao himself did not deny it."
"But I always feel that Your Majesty and Duke Zhao are collaborating to cheat money."
"The three hundred thousand guan is the stolen money that Zhaojun Gongfenfen gave to His Majesty!" Liu Zheng would tell Fang Xuanling his inner speculation.
If Cai Cai was just guessing, when he told Fang Xuanling, it was as if he had found evidence that the emperor and Zhao Chen had conspired.
"Liu Shangshu, regardless of whether your majesty conspired with Duke Zhao, I would like to ask you whether the eight oxen crossbow is worth 700,000 gold." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
"It's worth it, it must be worth it."
"Don't say 700,000 coins, even one million coins is worth it. I just..."
"Since it's worth 700,000 guan, you also paid 700,000 guan. Did Liu Shangshu suffer a loss?" Fang Xuanling interrupted Liu Zhenghui and asked with a smile.
"No, we made the profit. To be honest, if Duke Zhao raises the price, I will buy it."
"The power of this thing will easily kill tens of millions of enemies in the future." Liu Zhenghui said.
He didn't feel that he was at a loss, he just felt that the emperor and Zhao Chen teamed up to deceive him, which was a bit unreasonable.
"Since you don't suffer a loss, just pay your own money. As for where the money went and who it was given to, this is none of your business, Liu Shangshu."
"Furthermore, I feel that as the emperor, he cannot even get out the lucky money during the New Year, which really lacks the power of God."
"Even if this matter is as Liu Shangshu guessed, and His Majesty really conspired with Zhao Chen, at least I can understand it." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he continued walking forward.
Liu Zhenghui was left standing alone.
Liu Zhenghui didn't care about the 700,000 yuan. What he cared about was that the emperor actually teamed up with Zhao Chen to cheat money.
This time it was a scam, but what about next?
Who knows when the emperor's head will cramp and other unreasonable things will happen???
