Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh not even a copper plate
The students in the academy did not even hesitate.
He hurriedly walked towards the direction of Baniu Crossbow.
From the looks of it, he was really planning to dismantle the Eight Ox Crossbow in front of them.
All the officials were distraught.
If you were to dismantle the Eight Ox Crossbow in front of them, wouldn't it be a slap in their face?
Everyone looked towards the emperor.
Unless the emperor opens his mouth, or Liu Zhenghui agrees to give the 700,000 guan, the Eight Ox Crossbow will really be dismantled.
Just 700,000 yuan sounds like it makes people feel panicked.
It would be a shame if Liu Zhenghui agreed.
But is such a powerful Eight Ox Crossbow really going to be dismantled?
The emperor didn't expect that the Eight Ox Crossbow was suddenly dismantled when it was fine just now.
The price has not been agreed upon, we can discuss it slowly.
How can there be anyone who just kicks ass when he comes up?
How can such an enemy-killing weapon really be dismantled?
"Wait a minute." The emperor said, and a group of academy students who were about to dismantle the Eight Ox Crossbow looked back.
Seeing that Zhao Chen didn't speak, he continued to walk forward and stretched out his hand when he saw Cheng Chumo and others.
The emperor's face turned dark.
Do these people still see themselves as the emperor?
Do you think your words are farts?
"I said, wait a minute!" The emperor frowned and looked at Zhao Chen.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you wait a moment. I'll just leave it here today. Seven hundred thousand coins, not even a copper plate should be missing."
"One piece is missing, and His Majesty cannot take away the eight-oxen crossbow." Zhao Chen said to the emperor.
The words didn't mean any compromise at all.
Fortunately, the more money Zhao Chen got, the more he would share. Otherwise, just these two sentences from Zhao Chen would make the emperor angry to death.
"But this 700,000 yuan is really a lot. I think the price can still be negotiated."
"Liu Aiqing is feeling it!" the emperor said slowly.
On the surface, he was asking Liu Zhenghui to discuss the price of the Eight Ox Crossbow with Zhao Chen.
In fact, the emperor knew better than anyone else that Zhao Chen would not regress.
The reason why he said this was just to make Liu Zhenghui think that he was on his side.
"Your Majesty is right, the price is still negotiable, and Liu Shangshu didn't say not to give it."
"Yes, yes, everyone can find a warm place, discuss it carefully, and stop standing here."
"It's freezing cold here. Go back early."
The officials also echoed the emperor.
How much money Zhao Chen wants actually has nothing to do with them. It's just that standing in the snow, his hands and feet are really weak.
Liu Zhenghui frowned, he always felt that the emperor was a little strange.
But I can't say what's strange about it.
"Jun Zhao, I also know that your academy has really put a lot of effort into researching this thing."
"But if you ask for 700,000 yuan, it's really a lot."
"You and I each take a step back. Two hundred thousand yuan. I will immediately ask the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to send the money to your house." Liu Zhenghui slowly said a number.
Good guy, I gave Zhao Chen 500,000 yuan directly.
The old guy deserves to be the Minister of Household Affairs, and his bargaining skills are also top-notch.
"Two hundred thousand guan is still acceptable, enough to last several lifetimes."
"That's not two hundred thousand copper coins, but two hundred million copper coins. If I could get so much money, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
"Two hundred thousand dollars is already pretty good. After all, this is the first time Liu Shangshu is willing to give money."
"Isn't that right? The annual budget is carefully arranged. It is not easy to get 200,000 yuan from Liu Shangshu."
The officials were talking on the side, but Zhao Chen just thought they were farting.
Whether Liu Zhenghui is stingy or not has nothing to do with Zhao Chen.
If you can't afford it, then don't even think about buying anything.
"Liu Shangshu, if you don't agree with what you said, I won't accompany you. I'll tear it down and go home." After Zhao Chen finished talking to Liu Zhenghui, he waved to Cheng Chumo and others.
The hands and feet of Cheng Chumo and others are still very fast.
He raised the stone ax and smashed it against the Baniu crossbow stand.
"Clang-"
The stone ax and the Eight Bull Crossbow collided heavily.
Everyone's eyelids twitched violently.
This is really bad!
Such a magical weapon was smashed in front of their eyes?
Liu Zhenghui has been the Minister of Household Affairs under Li Shimin for ten years. During these ten years, he has encountered all kinds of people who come to him for money in various ways.
Liu Zhenghui could easily reject them.
Even if he is the emperor, Liu Zhenghui will not give it if he says not to give it.
But the Zhao Chen in front of him didn't act according to the routine at all.
Didn't he want to sell this Eight Ox Crossbow for money?
Why do you break things when you disagree?
So how can we discuss this business?
Liu Zhenghui was wrong.
Zhao Chen had no intention of selling the Eight Ox Crossbow for money.
He was just looking for an excuse to give the Eight Ox Crossbow to the emperor.
But after all, it is something that has been put into, so it cannot be given away in vain.
Moreover, it is not a good thing to prevent the emperor from bleeding a little and get used to stretching his hands in the future.
As far as Zhao Chen was concerned, since Liu Zhenghui was unwilling to give money, he naturally didn't care.
With his hundreds of thousands of dollars, that's nothing.
Everyone was silent and stared closely at the stone ax in Cheng Chumo's hand.
When the ax was struck just now, those with sharp eyes could already see the indentations on the wood.
A few more hits with the axe, and it will really be over.
"Clang-"
There was another sound of an ax falling, and everyone's hearts trembled.
The emperor couldn't sit still.
Why is this old guy Liu Zhenghui so tight on the Ministry of Accounts' money?
When will the Ministry of War be able to produce such a powerful battlefield weapon?
If we don’t keep the Eight Ox Crossbow now, there will really be nothing left in the future.
"Liu Shangshu, we can't let it fall anymore. This Eight Ox Crossbow is much more important than other weapons."
"To put it bluntly, the weapons studied by the Ministry of War are nothing compared to this Eight Ox Crossbow!" An official said to Liu Zhenghui.
"Liu Shangshu, Your Majesty asked us to come here. He must have seen the power of such sharp weapons before."
"If the Eight Bull Crossbow is smashed in front of His Majesty, we will not be able to escape the blame."
"It's just 700,000 yuan. It's nothing to this year's national treasury."
"Isn't it true that Duke Zhao also serves as the supervisor of the weapons supervisor? At worst, you can give him less of this year's weapon research fees."
"As long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties."
Officials began to persuade Liu Zhenghui.
There is nothing we can do without persuading him.
They can't persuade Zhao Chen!
Who dares.
I'm afraid he will be beaten back by Zhao Chen.
No one dares to forget Zhao Chen's two violent beatings of officials in the Tai Chi Palace.
If Zhao Chen beat him up here, it would really become a joke.
Besides, with Zhao Chen’s money-grubbing temperament, will he listen to others’ advice?
Liu Zhenghui began to hesitate.
What the officials said was correct. If we continue to smash it, it will really be over.
Without the Eight Ox Crossbow, the emperor would have to eat him alive?
From Liu Zhenghui's own point of view, 700,000 yuan for this eight-niu crossbow is indeed not expensive.
After all, the power of the Eight Ox Crossbow lies here.
But once this precedent was set, Datang's financial pressure would increase sharply in the future.
Liu Zhenghui can't bear it!
But if you don’t agree...
"No need to wait, just smash it to pieces. Each of you can carry a piece of wood back to me!" Zhao Chen, Cheng Chumo and others shouted.?
