Liu Mingzhi gently rubbed his temples and stood up: "Uncle, are there any four treasures of the study here?"
Zhang Kuang stood up after feeding the paper and pointed to the Four Treasures of the Study on the side: "Use it as you like. Mobile version https:"
It seems that Zhang Kuang is also a hard-working person. He has pens, inks, paper and inkstones ready so that he can handle military affairs anytime and anywhere.
Liu Mingzhi filled up some ink with his brush: "Uncle, it's not impossible to make a Mo Dao, but it's definitely not as powerful as the Mo Dao that my nephew gave you. I hope you're prepared."
"No problem, but you can't chop it into pieces after just a few strokes."
"That's no problem. May I ask my uncle how much military expenditures Longwuwei still has?"
"One and a half million taels, what do you mean, you don't want to use Long Wuwei's treasury silver to make a Mo Dao, do you?"
"What do you mean by Zhang Kuang? As the saying goes, a clever woman can't make a meal without rice. You're not going to let me make you a Mo Dao out of thin air, are you?"
Liu Dashao put the brush in his hand on the table with a snap. He still didn't understand what Zhang Kuang meant, so he was going to make a fool of himself with nothing.
Zhang Kuang looked a little resentful: "Eight hundred thousand taels, at most you can use 800,000 taels of silver, and the remaining silver should be used for emergencies. You can't drain Long Wuwei's treasury, that's Northern Xinjiang
All expenses incurred by Yingzhou’s 50,000 armored men.”
"Two thousand Mo swords and two hundred and eighty oxen crossbows. This is the minimum number estimated. If you can't talk about it, there is nothing you can do."
Liu Mingzhi made a careful calculation and came up with a relatively reliable amount. He can be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but if he is allowed to use his own money to subsidize the consumption of the national treasury, I'm sorry, but I still love myself.
What Liu Mingzhi was most worried about was the excessive demand from the emperor. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were nothing to the Liu family. It was not that they couldn't support it, but he was afraid that the emperor would take advantage of it and keep asking for it, which would be a big deal.
No matter what, we must not open this door. We are most afraid that when Li Zheng comes and asks why our army should be supported by the Liu family, it will be sold out.
The events of the past are the guide of the future, and the incident between Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan is the most real example.
None of the bullshit wealth in the world can compare to the life of the Liu family. Compared to the Liu family in Jiangnan, which is as wealthy as the country, Liu Mingzhi would rather make the Liu family less famous, make a fortune in silence, and live his life in peace.
Little days.
"Two thousand? Isn't it too little? The main force in Northern Xinjiang is fifty thousand, and the various auxiliary troops add up to a force of nearly 100,000. Isn't two thousand Mo Dao too few?"
"Do you want love?"
"If you want, two thousand is two thousand, which is better than nothing."
Liu Mingzhi began to write on the paper. He dried the ink on the paper and checked that it was correct. Then he took out his seal from his waist and stamped it: "The letter was sent to the house of Zhu Run, the Marquis of Guannei. When he saw the content of the letter, he
Know what to do."
"That boy Zhu Run, Marquis of Guannei, is incapable of doing anything in literature or military? He is just the laughing stock of the powerful people in the capital. What can you do with him?"
"Uncle, you are also a passionate person. Don't you understand that it takes ten years to see the east of the river and the west of the river?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Zhang Kuang angrily. Although Zhu Run's reputation was indeed not very good, it was just that Zhu Run had not met his noble person. Dogs can become gods when they meet the noble people of gods. Behind the scenes of meeting gods, rabbits
It can also be ranked in the immortal class.
Aren't the Roaring Dog and the Jade Rabbit the most striking example?
Zhang Kuang's face turned red, and he laughed twice: "My uncle was wrong. He shouldn't have looked at people through the cracks in the door. Maybe the half-dead Guan Nei Hou Zhu family can really come to life in the hands of your kid. Many people don't remember Guan Nei Hou.
My ancestor was also the capable general behind Grandfather Taizu, a warrior with outstanding achievements, but it is a pity that his descendants cannot live up to the expectations."
Zhang Kuang clapped his hands gently, and immediately a soldier walked in and knelt down on one knee: "Master Hou."
"Send the letter to the house of the Marquis of Guannei as quickly as possible. Don't slack off."
"Follow orders."
"Wait a minute."
"slow!"
Zhang Kuang shouted and stopped the soldiers. They looked at Liu Mingzhi in surprise, wondering why he stopped the soldiers.
Liu Mingzhi rolled his eyes: "Uncle, don't forget to bring 50,000 taels of silver. Whether Mo Dao can build Guannei Hou Zhurun is one of the most important tasks."
"Fifty thousand taels? It's 50,000 taels without doing anything!"
"up to you."
With an arrogant look on his face, he untied a bronze medal from his waist and handed it to the soldier: "Take my token and go to the treasury to withdraw fifty thousand taels of silver and take it with you."
The soldier took the arrogant token and glanced at Young Master Liu in surprise, who dared to challenge the general, as he left the camp.
"What should we do now? We can't waste our time here, right?"
"Go and check with the supervisor and make improvements in the areas that need to be improved. Otherwise, we may not be able to produce as much steel using the old methods."
"Jiang Zuo Prison?" Zhang Kuang hesitated a little. The General Prison Prison is not a place where anyone can enter. There are too many weapons manufacturing secrets there.
A veritable military center.
But thinking about the sophisticated and powerful weapon blueprints in Young Master Liu's study, it's hard to say anything. Young Master Liu placed such important blueprints randomly in the study. Now he really doesn't necessarily see the weapons created by the director.
Eye-catching.
"Here comes someone."
"Master Hou?"
"Get a set of armor and put it on Master Liu."
The soldier glanced at Young Master Liu up and down and then nodded: "Yes."
After a while, a private soldier came in carrying a suit of armor and delivered it to Young Master Liu: "Master Liu, please take the armor."
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
Hearing Liu Mingzhi address Zhang Kuang as a soldier, his eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him who was about the same size as himself was actually the Hou Ye's nephew.
An arrogant expression on his face: "There are no fathers and sons in the army. From now on, you can call me General or Lord Marquis. Besides, my uncle is engaged in military law."
Liu Mingzhi also did not want to violate military regulations. This was not an army that would be locked up for several days in later generations. Anyone who dared to violate military laws in the Dalong Dynasty would be punished with twenty sticks at the least, and the flag would be sacrificed at the most serious.
"Yes, General. I wonder what General, what does this mean?"
"In the military camp, the armor is always attached to the body, and anyone who disobeys the order will be executed. How can you enter a place like the prison of a lieutenant general wearing regular uniforms? Listen to my order and immediately wear the armor."
"yes!"
Young Master Liu took the armor from the soldier and hurriedly changed it, but after two quarters of an hour, Young Master Liu was sweating on his forehead and still had not put on the armor.
Zhang Kuang had a black line on his face, sighed and waved his hand to the soldiers beside him: "Help him."
"Follow orders."
As expected, he was specialized in the art. Within a few breaths, the armor that had made Young Master Liu so busy was arranged in an orderly manner by the soldiers, and it was obediently attached to Young Master Liu's body.
Young Master Liu twisted his body a few times: "Don't tell me, it's quite suitable."
He looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was wearing armor, with great satisfaction: "It would be a shame for you not to join the army."
The soldier also nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with the general's words, not flattering but sincerely thinking.
There's no way around it, Mr. Liu has a really good foundation. He looks so heroic when he puts on this armor. Apart from lacking a military aura, his appearance is absolutely nothing special.
"General, is there a mirror? I want to see what I look like wearing armor for the first time!" Liu Mingzhi was also curious about what he looked like now.
"Smelly."
Having said that, Zhang Kuang led Young Master Liu to a river in the camp. This was an important place for drinking water in the camp. There were no mirrors in the army, so the river water could only be used to reflect the figure.
Young Master Liu leaned forward to look at the calm and steaming river water.
One glance.
Another glance.
One more look.
Young Master Liu looked at the reflection in the river and was lost in thought. He had no choice but to be obsessed with the reflection of the jade tree in the wind and couldn't extricate himself.
Zhang Kuang kicked him up with a dark face: "Follow me."
Young Master Liu rubbed his butt and limped behind Zhang Kuang.
Well? Liu Mingzhi was stunned when he looked at a figure fetching water by the river.
