My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 2265
Watanabe looked at the clothes on himself and several of his subordinates with an unnatural expression, and hurriedly raised his hand to take off the long gown that was covering the outside.
Seeing this, several of Watanabe's subordinates immediately took off their clothes, with a faint look of embarrassment on their faces.
These clothes were the clothes they bought in the first big dragon city they encountered after landing a few months ago, and the weather was still cool at that time.
This time, because I was anxious about what His Highness told me, I didn't go to buy new clothes.
Unexpectedly, an ordinary big dragon blacksmith would see the loopholes of himself and others all of a sudden.
Watanabe threw the gown to one of his subordinates, and smiled resentfully at the blacksmith boss: "The boss has really good eyesight."
The boss waved his hand casually, and took a sip of the tea beside him: "What's wrong with your eyesight, you Northland is notoriously cold, I don't know how cold it is, after all, I haven't been there yet.
You may not be used to it when you first came to the Inner Palace, but you will be fine after you get used to it.
You should be the guards of the caravan, right? "
"Yes, we are the guards following the caravan, so we hope to build a good weapon to protect our lives and self-defense."
The boss nodded casually, and did not continue to ask: "Let's not talk about this, are you sure you want to use hundred-smelted iron to make weapons? The price of weapons made by hundred-smelted iron is very expensive."
"I don't know how much money this is?"
"Eight thousand copper coins, and seven taels of silver will do!"
"So expensive? I heard that the military department of the imperial court can't use so much money, right?"
"An ordinary high-quality weapon costs [-] coins, you don't want it if you don't like it!
Besides, can our business be compared with the imperial court?
All the people in the imperial court are skilled craftsmen. If there are more people, the military equipment will naturally be cheaper.
What they eat is the salary of the imperial court, and we support our families by ourselves, can it be the same?
If you inquire about it in Xing'anfang, all the iron smelting is at this price, and some of them cost ten taels of silver. "
"Then is there a better embryo than the hundred-smelting iron?"
"Yes, the martial arts family, the famous sects of the rivers and lakes can forge weapons that are several times as powerful as the hundred-smelting iron.
But that is someone's unique secret skill, and it will not be passed on to the outside world. Moreover, even if they want to create a magic weapon, it depends on chance.
Do you think the magical weapon is a kitchen knife and hoe on the rotten street?
Are you going to fight or not?Don't bother, don't disturb a busy job! "
"Fight, of course! Let's get five long knives according to our physique first. If the quality of the weapons satisfies us, we will build all the guards here!"
The boss who was about to add fire to his eyes lit up and looked at Watanabe with a smile.
"Then you have found the right person. The [-] shops to the east from here are all owned by a certain family. How many shops do you probably need?"
"Ten thousand!"
The boss almost didn't come up in one breath, and his voice suddenly increased: "How much?"
"Ten thousand! Can't you?"
"It's okay. It's a big deal for a certain company to share a part of it with others. It's just that it may take a little longer in terms of time. I wonder if you can wait."
"As long as it can be built, time is not a problem, but I still hope that you can build it as soon as possible."
"No problem, bring me the official document from the Ministry of War, and someone from a certain family will have it inspected."
Watanabe stared blankly at the big hand extended by the strong man boss: "Ah? Official document? What official document?"
The boss's excited expression sank: "Guest, you are not playing a game, are you?
There is no official document from the Ministry of War for wholesale, and a certain company will lose its head if it privately builds more than [-] weapons at a time.
Don't you know that folk craftsmen have to report to the government if they make more than [-] weapons at a time? "
Looking at the confused expression on Watanabe's face, the boss seemed to have been poured cold water.
"Guests, since you have forged five weapons, I don't care about your joke, come and pick them up tomorrow.
Set money five taels of silver. "
Watanabe came to his senses and took out a five taels of silver from his pocket and put it in the boss's hand.
"Okay, we'll come back tomorrow."
Watanabe, who had a complicated mind, turned his head three times and walked towards the outside of Xing'an Square. After leaving Xing'an Square, he kicked the courtyard wall on the left side fiercely.
"Why does Dalong still have such rules? You have to find official documents from the Ministry of War to make weapons!"
"Boss Watanabe, Dalong seems to have such a rule. The Patriarch once said that the four thousand weapons he brought back took many blacksmiths to build together."
Watanabe turned his head to look at one of his subordinates, and nodded helplessly.
"Let's go back and report to His Highness first. If there is no other way, we can only do the same as the Patriarch did back then. Little things make more things!"
"Yes!"
Watanabe and his party rushed towards Honglu Temple again.
At the same time, Sakai Kaga walked out of the Ministry of War with a happy face, obviously getting some favorable promise.
Matsumoto, who was guarding outside the government office of the Ministry of War, hastily greeted him: "Your Highness, how is it?"
Sakai He looked around, nodded to Matsumoto this time, and said in a low voice: "It's done, it's not done.
The worst result is that if the Dragon Emperor can't reward us with the requested military equipment in the end, we can buy a large amount of excellent military equipment from the Ministry of War.
If not, Song Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, will secretly give us the sword made by the general supervisor of the Ministry of War to test its power and quality.
But Dalong's officials are really black-hearted.
Mr. Wang sent 300 taels of silver bills, and Song Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, had to eat more than 1000 taels of silver bills before agreeing to our request.
More than 1000 taels of silver bills, how many precious specialties of Dalong have to be bought. "
"Hey, the world is as black as crows, and the officials on the Emperor's side are also very dark-hearted. The gold nuggets spent in the mainland to win them over are so despicable that I can't sleep."
"Be careful that Fujino's eyes and ears are watching us, and leave a few people to watch the yamen of the Ministry of War. Let's go back and talk about it."
"Yes, please, Your Highness."
After Sakai He left, Fujino Ninghe brought people to the Ministry of War one after another to ask to see Song Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, but was rejected by Song Yu because he was busy with business.
This scene happened to be seen by the eyeliner left by Sakai Ka.
One person was assigned to report the good news to Sakai He, and the rest continued to monitor the situation at the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Fujino Ninghe, who was turned away, cursed a few times, and then quietly rushed to the government office of the Ministry of Industry with his entourage. This time, he was not turned away, and was directly received by Yang Tao, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
And Sakai Ka got the report from his subordinates, knew the news that Fujino Ninghe had run into a wall in the military office, and combined with the news that Watanabe brought back from Xing'anfang, he immediately became happy.
One is the old fox Fujino, who is always constrained in the civilian military equipment building meeting, and the other is himself who has been promised by the minister of the military department of the Dalong court.
Whoever rushes back to the mainland with the military equipment first, the result is clear at a glance.
May 28th of the third year of Dalong Taiping.
Liu Mingzhi, on the grounds that the Minister of the Household Department and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, refused the request for rewarding military equipment in the official documents of the two countries of the Wa Kingdom, and instead rewarded the Wa Kingdom Mission with other precious treasures to bring them back to the mainland, as a token of the grace of the Celestial Dynasty.
Annan, the envoys of Siam and several countries all received similar rewards.
In addition to being rejected the request to marry the princess of the Celestial Dynasty, Goguryeo also received a lot of rewards from Young Master Liu.
The helpless Jin Taeun could only agree, and silently accepted Young Master Liu's reward.
Taiping three years, June [-]th.
Envoys from various countries left Beijing one after another after returning home with full rewards, and returned to their homeland.
Especially Sakai He, Fujino Ninghe, the two envoys of the Wa Kingdom, had extremely complicated thoughts.
Although they have fulfilled the missions assigned by each other's masters and brought back a large number of excellent military equipment, these military equipment were not rewarded by the Emperor Dalong, but purchased from the officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry of the Dalong Court with a lot of money. of.
After the silver taels for the military equipment are delivered, the remaining gold and silver treasures that can be bought are Dalong's special products, which are very few compared with the expected quantity.
Fortunately, although he didn't get the reward of the Dragon Emperor's military equipment, he also got countless treasures of the Dragon that he and others couldn't understand, but they were "extraordinarily valuable" at first glance.
A few days later, Sakai He, Fujino Ning and the two, each with their own ulterior motives, led the envoys under their command to thank First Young Master Liu, and then bid farewell to Young Master Liu.
He returned with a full load and left Dalongjing City.
On the east wall of the capital, Liu Mingzhi and a group of officials silently looked at Fujino Ning and the Japanese mission that was gradually going away.
Sakai He had set off on the road three days ago, and Fujino Ninghe was the last group of missions to leave Beijing.
When there was no trace of the convoy anymore, the breezy Song Yu looked at the calm Young Master Liu with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has a question. I don't know if I should say it or not?"
"Say it!"
"There are so many missions to the DPRK, why do you only have such a big prejudice against the Japanese missions?
The veteran vaguely remembered that many years ago, they were also the mission of the Japanese country, and they seemed to be a pair of brothers and sisters named Kazuko Sakai.
His Majesty also had great precautions against the Japanese diplomatic corps, which consisted mainly of their brothers and sisters.
Could it be that there is something special about this Japanese country that makes His Majesty keep it secret? "
Hearing Song Yu's question, the rest of the officials also looked at Liu Mingzhi.
They were also puzzled, why did His Majesty target this Japanese mission so much?
Liu Mingzhi lightly smiled twice.
"Japanese pirates are also barbarians. Fear of power and disregard of morality will be a serious disaster."
Although they didn't know the meaning of Liu Mingzhi's words, they nodded in agreement and turned their minds to their own interests.
"Your Majesty, do you see this commission?"
"That's right, you have no jokes, we can't go back on our promises!"
"The old minister agrees!"
"Seconded."
It's about their private money, so they are naturally very concerned.
Young Master Liu nodded with a half-smile, turned around and walked down the city wall.
"You are not joking, I will naturally not go back on my word.
I have already sent someone to deliver the commissioned bank notes to your residence, so there should be still time to go back now! "
The smiling faces of the four of them suddenly collapsed, and the corners of their mouths twitched as they looked at Young Master Liu's back like a concubine.
"Your Majesty, there is no such thing!"
"A sin."
"It's not a human being. It's not a wise king!"
"What else are you talking about? Hurry up and borrow a horse from the imperial guards and drive back. If it is delivered to Madam, all your work will be in vain!"
