The first thousand two hundred and five chapters about the three chapters
Liu Song's anxious voice came from outside the door, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between Liu, the young girl, and the queen.
"Mr. Hu, you can't go in. The young master is meeting with important guests. Please don't make things difficult for me. I can't explain to the young master!"
Liu Song's voice was so loud that he might not be suspected of informing the young master. Master, your junior brother is coming to kill you.
Huyan Yunyao's unhappy voice then came: "Get out of the way, it's not me who is embarrassing you, but you who are embarrassing me. I made an appointment with my senior brother for three days, and now half of the fourth day has passed. Senior brother, don't you?"
What does showing up mean?”
"Where's the sincerity of your promise?"
Huyan Yunyao's voice was not soft, so she didn't mean to tell Young Master Liu.
We are all smart people, so there is no need to play tricks on those little Jiujiu. Wouldn’t it be nice to talk openly and honestly?
Young Master Liu heard the voices outside the door and looked at the Queen who was sitting astride him: "To put it mildly, I'd better think of it. A friend is here. It's not very elegant to receive guests like this!"
The title of "senior brother and junior brother" already made the queen aware of who he was. When she heard Young Master Liu's words, instead of getting up, the queen tightly clasped the fingers around Young Master Liu's neck.
"What, are you afraid that your little goblin will be jealous when he sees you? I can't stand up. I just want to show the little goblin that the lover she has longed for has already fallen under my pomegranate skirt."
Young Master Liu helplessly looked at the somewhat arrogant Queen, complaining in his heart. No matter what status a woman has, she is always jealous.
Regardless of time, place, or occasion.
He looked helplessly at the empress, Young Master Liu, who was staring at him closely and ordered to the door: "Xiao Song, let junior brother come in!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Master Hu, please come in!"
Huyanjunyao walked quickly towards the study. Her eyes narrowed when she saw the scene in the study, especially the ambiguous postures of the two empresses, which made Huyanjunyao grit her teeth.
However, Huyan Yunyao didn't say anything. She looked at the queen sitting on the chair with a strange expression: "It turns out that the distinguished guest that senior brother is meeting is this old woman!"
"Little goblin, let the old woman be an old woman. The old woman is currently entangled with your little lover. Doesn't she feel very uncomfortable and uncomfortable?"
Huyan Yunyao looked at the empress who was triumphant and fighting against her like a little girl. She bit her teeth lightly and pretended to turn a blind eye. She leaned slightly and looked at Young Master Liu quietly.
"Senior brother, your junior brother has no time to interfere with secular affairs. It is already noon on the fourth day. Isn't it time to have a serious discussion about the transaction?"
Young Master Liu picked up the Queen and leaned away slightly and nodded helplessly: "Junior brother is righteous. I have thought about it and asked His Majesty for instructions. As long as the war is over, all three hundred artillery pieces will be delivered, and a thousand rounds of artillery shells will also be delivered!
"
"One thousand rounds of artillery shells was the number originally proposed by senior brother. My younger brother said that sending troops to send one hundred and eleven thousand artillery shells would definitely not work. Senior brother also said in the letter that there was room for negotiation. Junior brother believed in his character, so he immediately sent troops to help.
.”
"Now that ten months have passed, I don't seem to have seen the so-called discussion space left by my senior brother."
"Three hundred artillery pieces and one thousand artillery shells are equivalent to less than three artillery shells for each artillery piece. Based on this calculation, the three hundred artillery pieces are not a magic weapon for my junior brother, but a burden."
"Our Turkic campaign emphasizes quick battles and quick decisions, based on horseback attacks. The food and supplies consumed by transporting these three hundred artillery pieces and artillery shells far exceed the benefits they can bring to my junior brothers."
"Senior brother's sincerity is to still deliver the original amount to me?"
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment, and the number of cannonballs agreed to by Li Zheng flashed in front of his eyes. He slowly stood up and forced the reluctant queen to sit on the chair and stood up.
The Queen glanced at Young Master Liu with a faint look in her eyes, and she had already made the decision in her heart to increase the number of radishes to two and a half.
Liu Mingzhi sat on the chair and took a sip of herbal tea: "Junior brother, how many shells are suitable?"
"Five thousand rounds!"
"hehe......"
Liu Mingzhi sneered: "Junior brother, how dare you speak, five thousand rounds of artillery shells!"
"Why, senior brother, you think that's too much? A mere five thousand rounds of artillery shells are just a drop in the bucket for senior brother and Dalong!"
Liu Mingzhi smacked his lips and muttered. Hu Yanjunyao shook his head: "It's just five thousand rounds, a drop in the bucket."
"Junior Brother, Junior Brother, do you know how many artillery shells were consumed by Senior Brother in his expedition to the Thirty-Eight Kingdoms in the Western Regions?"
Huyan Yunyao shook her head silently: "I would like to hear the details."
Liu Mingzhi held out three fingers: "In the two years since the expedition, the number of artillery shells consumed by senior brother is less than three thousand, which is worth millions of taels of silver. Junior brother said it was five thousand rounds. Do you think this number is realistic?"
Although what Liu Mingzhi said is exaggerated, it is also more realistic.
When the cannon goes off, gold is worth ten thousand taels, which is not just empty talk.
Huyan Yunyao fell silent and pondered secretly in her heart.
The queen on the side also glanced at the two young masters Liu with suspicious eyes, secretly trying to figure out how much of young master Liu's words were true and how much were false.
It can only be said that the Queen and Hu Yanjunyao only saw the power of the artillery, but they did not know the price to pay to support the artillery.
For a long time, Huyan Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at Young Master Liu: "At this moment, for the people of the Western Regions who have city-states to defend themselves, to deal with the fast cavalry of the Imperial Court of Spieth, the number of shells they need to consume is far more than waiting for the shells to come.
The people from the Western Regions can compare!”
"Junior brother is not the kind of person who nags, and I don't want to continue having unnecessary verbal disputes with my senior brother here."
"Based on my understanding of Emperor Dalong, I know that the number of cannonballs he promised is definitely more than a thousand rounds. As for how many rounds I have secretly withheld, I know it very well!"
"Senior brother, there is no need to play around with me. Junior brother has also stayed in Dalong for a few years. I don't dare to claim to know much about Emperor Dalong than my senior brother, but I don't know anything about it."
"Brother, you might as well hurry up and decide on the exact number of rounds!"
Liu Mingzhi played with the teacup in his hand: "Fifteen hundred rounds!"
With a snap, Huyan Yunyao slammed the table and looked at Young Master Liu coldly: "Senior brother, you can continue to have sex with this old woman. Are the 100,000 cavalry beside the old Duke of Hetao Grassland reinforcements or all the enemy troops?
In the moment of senior brother’s thoughts.”
"It's not that I want to be the villain who turns against you, but that my senior brother betrayed his trust first. I'll take my leave and see you again someday!"
"Two thousand five hundred rounds, not one more!"
Huyan Yunyao went back and thought deeply for a while: "Two hundred artillery pieces and three thousand shells, this seems to be a profit for senior brother. Without my younger brother, I would send troops to help, and the pension and housing expenses of the 100,000-strong Northern Expedition Army would not be enough."
This little artillery plus the silver of the cannonballs!"
Liu Mingzhi held the tea cup and muttered: "Yes, but the three chapters of the agreement I made with my junior brother in advance will not be changed at all!"
"First, the use and loss of each artillery shell must be recorded in full by the fifty garrison personnel of our court. The artillery shells cannot be withdrawn to Yingzhou until all the artillery shells are consumed during the expedition to the Royal Court of Spieth!"
"Two, our soldiers garrisoned in the DPRK wear flints with them. You are not allowed to drive our soldiers garrisoned fifteen steps away from the artillery shells without permission!"
"Third, the artillery shells will be delivered in batches. Two thousand rounds will be delivered for the first time, and five hundred rounds will be delivered in two subsequent batches. The governor will ensure that the artillery shells are delivered in time during your expedition to the Western King's Court, except for force majeure reasons."
"Let's put villains first and then be gentlemen. After all, I don't want my own cannonballs to fall on my head one day!"
"As long as my junior brother can do these three things, when the war is over, the artillery will be delivered immediately.
