If everyone was like Hou Junji, the Tang Dynasty would have perished as soon as possible.
So as not to harm innocent people.
"I heard that the craftsmen in the Ordnance Supervision have all fled. These people are..." The emperor's eyes fell on a group of folk craftsmen kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, they are all craftsmen from Chang'an City. The weapons supervisor has fled, so I have no choice but to find another craftsman." Hou Junji explained.
It was normal for the emperor to know that the weapons supervisor had fled.
What is unusual is that the emperor did not pursue Hou Junji.
"The Ordnance Supervisor has escaped, and the Ordnance Supervisor Zheng cannot escape the blame. Come here, take him down and interrogate him." Hou Junjizheng was confused, and heard that the emperor wanted to deal with the Ordnance Supervisor Zheng.
When the weapons supervisor heard that the emperor was going to deal with him, he suddenly fainted.
"Hou Qing, can anyone solve the problem of the insufficient power of the bed crossbow?" The weapons supervisor was being dragged out, and the emperor looked at Hou Junji again.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but I'm still thinking of a solution." Hou Junji had no idea. He originally thought that pretending to be sick would delay the incident for a while.
Then I thought that the emperor would come directly to the weapons inspection.
Besides admitting his mistake, what other excuse could he find to explain himself?
"Thinking of a way?" The emperor's face darkened and he said, "I gave you half a month more time, and you are still telling me that you are thinking of a way?"
"Hou Qing, sometimes I feel that I shouldn't be too kind to you."
"I am guilty, please punish me!" Hou Junji's expression changed drastically.
What does the emperor mean by this?
Can Hou Junji fail to deal with him?
"Forget it, I asked Zhao Chen to take a look at the situation of the bed crossbow. If he can find a way to solve it, it will be considered a great achievement of his. From now on, he will be responsible for the weapons supervision."
"If there is no other way, Hou Qing, you..." The emperor said this and stopped talking.
Hou Junji was angry, but there was nothing he could do.
He now hopes that Zhao Chen can solve the problem of the bed crossbow's insufficient power, but is also worried that he can solve the problem of the bed crossbow.
But he can't say anything now.
If you offend the emperor again, I'm afraid your end will not be too good.
…
Zhao Chen had no interest at all in what the emperor said about weapons supervision.
He just wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Then throw the emperor's quilt out of his home.
After you go back, you must give the concierge Lao Huang a good beating, if you let Vantage enter his house again in the future.
So Lao Huang was fired.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that the crossbow of this crossbow would be so tough. Ordinarily two or three people would not be able to completely pull it apart."
"If too many people are sent to pull this crossbow, it will really outweigh the gains."
"The craftsmen couldn't think of a way to easily open the crossbow, so..." Hou Junji explained to the emperor at the side.
But his eyes glanced at Zhao Chen.
Seeing Zhao Chen's indifferent expression, Hou Junji couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart.
Zhao Chen's abilities are really quite big, and even Hou Junji has to admit this.
So Hou Junji was not sure whether Zhao Chen had a way to solve the crossbow problem.
On the one hand, he doesn't really want Zhao Chen to solve it.
In this way, the weapons inspection will not fall into Zhao Chen's hands.
The Ordnance Supervision is an important department under the Ministry of War, responsible for the research of military weapons.
If he is really controlled by Zhao Chen, his rights in the Ministry of War will be severely restricted in the future.
Zhao Chen is not someone else and will not be controlled by Hou Junji.
What's more, the two of them already had a feud. What if Zhao Chen really became the weapons supervisor?
Are you still not allowed to engage in Hou Junji secretly in the future?
"You haven't thought of any solution?" The emperor turned his attention to the folk craftsmen.
Being called by the emperor for questioning, the folk craftsmen were terrified.
He tremblingly bowed to the emperor and replied: "Reply to your Majesty, there is really nothing you can do about this little... villain."
"This... this bed crossbow is too... too tough, so... there shouldn't be anyone..."
Hearing this, Lao Litou could not help but frown.
Previously, the craftsmen in the Ordnance Supervision couldn't think of a way to do it, so they ran away for fear of being beheaded.
Now these folk craftsmen also say that no one can think of a solution.
If you can't think of a solution, doesn't that mean that all the 500,000 yuan allocated to the Ministry of War were wasted?
Old Li Tou began to feel angry.
He can tolerate other things, but when money is involved, he can't tolerate it.
He hasn't received this year's salt bureau dividend yet, so he only has tens of thousands of coins left in his private treasury.
Originally, he pointed out that the tax revenue would be higher this year, so he could open his mouth with the Ministry of Household Affairs and get more money into his private treasury.
As long as the 500,000 gu you want to go to the Ministry of War has turned out to be successful, forget it.
If there were no results, Liu Zhenghui would definitely use this matter to silence himself.
Who knows how much money you will lose.
Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes turned green.
"In other words, my five hundred thousand yuan was wasted, right?" The emperor looked at Hou Junji with an annoyed look on his face.
Hou Junji quickly bowed, not daring to look at the emperor.
"Zhao Chen, think of a way quickly." The emperor glared at Hou Junji bitterly and waved to Zhao Chen.
Although Lao Litou was not polite to him.
But Zhao Chen was used to it.
As for this bed crossbow...
"How about forget it? Who came up with this bed crossbow? Isn't this obviously a scam for money?" Zhao Chen pointed to the three big bows in front of him and said to the emperor.
"What a scam, the craftsmen of our weapons supervisor spent countless efforts to create this."
"Zhao Chen, don't frame anyone!" Hou Junji was unhappy at that time.
He didn't take any of the five hundred thousand yuan.
All of them were used in the development of bed crossbows.
Now he was accused by Zhao Chen of cheating money.
If the emperor believed this, then Hou Junji would have died unjustly!
"What do you say?" Lao Litou knew that Zhao Chen might be trying to do something else.
"Don't you just want a powerful bed crossbow? I can make it for you, but the price is not enough..." Zhao Chen looked at the emperor with a smile.
When it comes to money, it's like stepping on the emperor's tail.
Old Li Tou almost jumped up at that time.
"Money, how can I give you money?" Old Li Tou said angrily.
He found that he and Zhao Chen had known each other for such a long time, but Zhao Chen had no feelings for him at all.
You have to talk to yourself about money for everything.
Five hundred thousand yuan has already been given away. If he talks to Liu Zhenghui again, he will probably be drowned in saliva by the officials of the Ministry of Revenue.
"If you don't have money, there's nothing you can do." Zhao Chen waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, you also know that I am a tavern keeper by background. In this business, I still need to settle some matters."
"Of course, I can guarantee the power of this crossbow. It can string more than five candied haws on a stick within a radius of one hundred and fifty feet." Zhao Chen added.
The emperor was dubious.
One hundred and fifty feet is more than four hundred meters.
Such a long-range attack can penetrate more than five enemies in a row, so the power can be imagined.
Half convinced and half doubtful, the emperor began to feel excited again.
The Sky Boom Cannon is more powerful and can create danger and save danger, and the Sky Boom Cannon is used as a deterrent.
On the battlefield, it is too cruel.
That's why the emperor thought of using more powerful cold weapons.
"How much do you want?" The emperor still couldn't hold back his curiosity.?
