Ming Dynasty: Hanging out in Beiping County as Magistrate Chapter 122 Guo An asks for leaveLatest website: Feng Sheng and Fu Youde could no longer sit still, so they stood up and walked out.
Six hundred thousand kilograms of pig iron and six hundred thousand kilograms of weapons and armor are completely different concepts.
At the time of Yingtian, they all guessed that with King Yan's family background, if he wanted to come up with 600,000 kilograms of pig iron, he would have to buy some from outside.
And now, by directly taking out 600,000 kilograms of weapons and armor, is it possible that King Yan stripped off the weapons and armor of all the soldiers of his Yanshan Guard?
"At the end of the day, General Yanshan's right guard, Tan Yong, of the hundred households, comes to see the general, generals!"
"The last general, King Yan, who is guarding Baihu Qiufu, meets the general, generals!"
"The last general Yanshan left to guard Li Wang, a hundred households..."
When Feng Sheng and Fu Youde walked out of the gate of the capital command department, they saw three hundred households leading three teams of soldiers and escorting thousands of carriages standing outside the door.
Feng Sheng's eyes narrowed and he asked solemnly: "Are you here to hand over weapons and armor?"
"Reporting to the general, the general and others have been ordered by His Highness King Yan to escort 600,000 kilograms of weapons and armor to the general. Please also ask the general to send someone to check them." Li Wang said respectfully.
"Come here, let me check it out!"
Feng Sheng didn't ask any questions and gave the order directly.
"Yes, General!"
Immediately, Du ordered a group of soldiers to quickly come out and check them one by one.
After a while.
A man from a hundred families stepped forward with a surprised look on his face and handed over his hand to Feng Sheng to report.
"General, I have four thousand steel swords, six thousand spears, and thirteen thousand armors. The total weight is six hundred thousand kilograms!"
Feng Sheng's eyes narrowed and he looked at Li Wang, "I wonder where the weapons and armor of His Highness King Yan came from?"
"Forgive me, general. I am just a small household, and I don't know the inside story."
Li Wang respectfully apologized to Feng Sheng and took out a piece of paper.
"Now that the general has checked the amount, I would like to ask the general to sign for it, so the general can go back and take orders!"
"When someone comes, I will serve you with pen and ink!"
"Yes, General!"
……
After watching the Yanshan guards leave, Lan Yu spit on the ground.
"General, those few Yanshan Guardsmen dare to tell lies in front of me. The steel swords, spears, and even armors in the hands of every soldier among them are brand new. They were obviously brand new just now.
Forged!"
Feng Sheng smiled softly, "Marquis Yongchang mistakenly wanted to be impatient. We just came to Peking to train troops under His Majesty's order. We got 600,000 kilograms of weapons and armor, which is much easier than 600,000 kilograms of pig iron!
As for where these weapons and armor come from, we only need to report it to Your Majesty!"
"Yes, General!"
Sapphire slightly cupped her hands and then said no more.
Feng Sheng chuckled, explained to the left and right, then turned around and walked in.
……
Yan Palace.
As Li Wang, Tan Tong and others returned, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with distress.
Then, he looked at Guo An aside.
"Guo Qing, Song Guogong, and Ying Guogong are all veterans on the battlefield, and they are very jealous.
Although they didn't ask to the end, at this moment, they will definitely see that what we sent them are weapons and armor replaced by Yanshan Guards!"
Guo An also nodded slightly, "The two old generals will definitely report to Your Majesty."
"In this case, doesn't your father know that we can smelt 600,000 kilograms of pig iron in three months?" Zhu Di's face changed slightly.
Guo An continued, "Therefore, His Highness needs to take the initiative to report this matter to His Majesty!"
"You want me to take the initiative to report this matter to my father?"
Zhu Di's eyes widened with confusion on his face, "Then if my father knows the output of our iron smelting institute, wouldn't he ask us to smelt more iron?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty will know even if you don't tell me!"
Guo An said, "However, you can change your words a little when you are playing."
"Huh?"
Zhu Di and Zhu Fu both stared closely at Guo An.
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, you can take the initiative to tell Your Majesty that in order to forge 600,000 kilograms of pig iron within three months, you have recruited hundreds of laborers.
In addition, after the autumn harvest, you are planning to recruit a large number of laborers again and start digging trenches between farmland in Beiping Prefecture.
Moreover, we are preparing to forge hundreds of thousands of farm tools again to encourage people to reclaim wasteland.
In addition, you are preparing to train the Yanshan Guard. Next year or last year, when I go on the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, I also want to personally lead the army there!"
"In this case, my father will not give us an order to prepare more pig iron?" Zhu Di asked.
"Your Highness, does our Ming army lack weapons and equipment?" Guo An asked.
"There is no shortage of it!"
Zhu Di said proudly.
Guo An smiled and said, "In that case, Your Majesty has already asked you to prepare 600,000 catties of pig iron, and you have already prepared 600,000 catties of weapons and armor. Why would Your Majesty ask you to prepare more!"
"The reason why I asked His Highness to take the initiative is to suggest that Your Highness should complain more to His Majesty. Your Highness alone is guarding Beiping, and he has to govern the people's livelihood in Beiping Prefecture, train troops, guard against Bei Yuan, and make money..." p>
"Your Highness, you can't talk too much about making money..."
