The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

After listening to Li Ke's words, Old Li Tou wanted to give Li Ke a kick.

The bed crossbow that he had spent half a million yuan to get finally turned out to be nothing when it came to Li Ke's mouth?

Didn't he see the power of this crossbow just now?

Even the wall made of blue bricks collapsed, so why is it nothing?

Li Ke, let's put it this way, the eight-oxen crossbow and the three-bow bed crossbow developed by your academy are extremely powerful. The emperor suddenly became enlightened.

Since Li Ke knew so clearly, couldn't he ask him to tell him how to make the two bed crossbows?

In this way, I don't have to go to Zhao Chen.

If you go to find Zhao Chen by yourself, in addition to trying to please him, it is certain that you will also spend a lot of money.

Otherwise, with Zhao Chen's temper, he would definitely not let him go easily.

That's for sure, and the academy's bed crossbow shoots three arrows at a time. Father, you know how terrifying it is when you think about it. Li Ke nodded, his face filled with excitement.

He also participated in the production of bed crossbows in the Academy.

More or less, he has a share of the credit.

In that case, Ke'er, can you make one yourself? If you can, my father can...

No, father, the bed crossbow in the academy is made according to the drawings given by the teacher.

We all operate according to the drawings. Unless my father can get the drawings from my husband, we won't be able to build it! Li Ke shook his head.

His answer disappointed Li Shimin.

If you can get the blueprints from Zhao Chen, you might as well just ask Zhao Chen to do it for you.

So what you said means nothing at all, right? The emperor frowned, a trace of annoyance flashing across his face.

No, the main thing is to let my father know that the five hundred thousand guan you allocated to the Ministry of War was really wasted.

If you give us the academy...

I'll give it to you, uncle! Before Li Ke could finish speaking, he was

The emperor was furious and kicked him to the ground.

…

Hou Junji hurriedly left the Ordnance Supervision and went straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

It's almost noon now. As one of the six departments of the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of War also eats from the public family.

There is a special dining room in the Yamen.

Military officials will have their lunch in the dining room.

Sir Chen, how much did you win and lose in Yingou yesterday? Why are you here to eat at the dining room today? an official from the Ministry of War asked his neighbor with a smile.

The so-called Silver Gou is the famous casino in Chang'an City.

From the officials' children to the ordinary people, they all like to go wherever they want to play.

Many officials in the Ministry of War also often gambled.

Oh, don't mention it. I'm so lucky. I lost thousands of coins in one night. The official named Chen looked annoyed and waved to the official next to him.

Haha, it's only a thousand guan, it's not a lot of money.

Anyway, the last time Master Shangshu distributed the winter subsidy to everyone, it was two thousand guan.

Not bad, not bad. Mr. Chen can go and have fun again today. Maybe he will get his money back!

Oh, forget it, Master Shangshu has not been in a good mood recently. If he finds out that I still go to Yingou, he will be furious.

Yes, yes, it's all the fault of those useless craftsmen in the Armory Supervisor. They can't even make a bed crossbow.

If they hadn't run so fast, I would have given them a hard time.

Indeed, they can run fast!

While the officials of the Ministry of War were eating, they talked about the weapons supervisor's research on crossbows.

But he had already put all the responsibility on the escaped craftsmen of the weapons supervisor.

When Hou Junji arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the officials had already

After lunch, we were sitting in the sun drinking tea and chatting.

Seeing Hou Junji approaching with a bad look on his face, all the officials quickly stood up and saluted him.

Officials above the rank of wailang and above will all come to my study to discuss matters. Hou Junji glanced at the officials and said coldly.

Everyone was puzzled, but they had time to ask questions and hurriedly followed Hou Junji.

The Ministry of War Yuanwai Lang is an official of the sixth rank of the Ministry of War, and there are two persons.

On top of the Yuanwai Lang, there are two Langzhong and two ministers.

The six of them were all close associates of Hou Junji.

Of the 500,000 guan allocated by the Ministry of Revenue, Hou Junji took 200,000 guan himself, and 100,000 guan was distributed to these six cronies.

There was also a sum of money distributed among other officials of the Ministry of War.

The research expenses left to the weapons supervisor are less than 30%.

Hou Junji knew that Zhao Chen would definitely come if he asked for the three hundred thousand copper coins from him.

If he can't get it out by then, Zhao Chen will never settle down.

On the contrary, it will cause trouble to everyone.

If things get serious and the research expenses allocated by the Ministry of Finance are revealed, everything will be over.

Master Shangshu, what happened? Why is your face so ugly? an official and Hou Junji asked in the study.

The problem of the bed crossbow's insufficient power has been solved! Hou Junji said lightly without any joy on his face.

Is the problem solved? That's a great thing!

The problem of the bed crossbow has been solved, and we can have an explanation with His Majesty. This is a great thing. Why is Lord Shangshu so unhappy?

Just now, Your Majesty and Zhao Chen went to the weapons inspection. Zhao Chen solved the problem of the insufficient power of the bed crossbow.

His Majesty has ordered that the weapons inspection will be under the supervision of Zhao Chen in the future! Hou Junji remained expressionless.

A group of officials slightly

Discoloration.

The Ordnance Supervision is an important department of the Ministry of War. Hou Junji tried to put his own people in it several times, but he was always vetoed by the emperor.

Zhao Chen went to the Ordnance Supervision, which was indeed a constraint for Hou Junji.

But it's not a big problem.

After all, Hou Junji is still the minister, the immediate superior of the military weapons supervisor.

Master Shangshu, there is no need to be embarrassed. So what if Zhao Chen becomes the military supervisor? How long can he be able to dance under Master Shangshu? the Minister of War and Hou Junji consoled him.

Do you think I am angry about this? Hou Junji said with a cold expression on his face.

Your Majesty said that the Ministry of War's research on crossbows is ineffective. I asked the Ministry of War to remove 300,000 guan of silver and hand it over to Wannian County Duke Zhao Chen before the hour tomorrow...

What?

The Ministry of War moved 300,000 yuan?

Why?

How can the Ministry of War have so much money?

How could your Majesty think that our Ministry of War would give 300,000 yuan to Zhao Chen?

Hou Junji's words immediately detonated everyone.

How did they come up with 300,000 yuan?

Isn't this a joke?

I'm not joking with you. At midnight tomorrow, Zhao Chen will go to my residence to get the money.

You guys also shared a lot of money last time. I won't embarrass you this time. The six of you will collect a hundred thousand coins and deliver them to me before midnight tonight, otherwise... Hou Junji Leng He said with a gloomy face.

Lord Shangshu!

Master Shangshu, I have lost all the money I distributed last time. I really can't get it back!

I don't care, that's your business. If you don't see one hundred thousand dollars before midnight tonight.

You can imagine the consequences for yourself. Hou Junji stood up and said in a deep voice.
