Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 546;

Chapter 540: I also want to get involved

Niu Jinda was arguing with his old brothers and was taken aback by the emperor's sudden question, and responded subconsciously;

"Ah! That's right, Your Majesty, I'm not talking nonsense. Didn't the old man just explain it clearly? Our Ministry of Industry uses hundreds of refined steel to make high-quality arrows, which are more powerful than this bow and arrow. If every Weidu is equipped with two or three thousand of these powerful archers, and selects sergeants with superior arm strength to use them. After shooting a few rounds of arrow rain, the victory or defeat is basically determined, so what is the use of fighting?"

Niu Jinda felt that what he said was very reasonable. It was what it was. Others couldn't shoot us, but we could shoot each other to death. The winner has already been decided, so what's the point of fighting?

Li Shimin was very happy to hear Niu Jinda's words, and turned to ask the three civil servants;
"The three lovers think that what Jinda said makes sense?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and responded with a smile;

"Every sentence makes sense."

Fang Xuanling said seriously;

"Such treasures should be produced as soon as possible, and then assigned to the sons of the sixteen guards to use and practice. I think the more the better."

Du Ruhui carefully calculated in his mind for a while before he opened his mouth unhurriedly;
"I suggest that the configuration of each guard's archers should be based on [-] and no more, otherwise it will affect the deployment of forces in frontal combat, and less power will not be achieved. [-] is just right.

In addition, three thousand archers should be equipped with Mo Dao, and they will be archers when they are needed. Archers with strong arms and bows are the kings of the infantry. Can advance and retreat freely, please allow your Majesty to manufacture and deploy soldiers and horses in the world as soon as possible. "

When a group of generals heard that they could have 100 powerful archers under their command, all of them were beaming with joy. Throw a lot of guns in it... Only these 3000 troops will cost money and silk, maybe 60 to [-] guns. Thinking that many generals here are silent, only Niu Jinda, Wei Chigong and Cheng Yaojin are fighting for the future. Request speed to configure three thousand archers.

Cheng Yaojin was the first to come up;
"Your Majesty, my old Cheng supports Du Pushe's proposal. The archers are equipped with Modao. Putting down the bows and arrows is the Modao brigade. That's great. Your Majesty, each guard should be equipped with five thousand archers to satisfy the hunger."

Yu Chigong also hurried up to speak up;
"Your Majesty, five thousand is the most appropriate for the general who is attached to the agenda."

Niu Jinda smiled from ear to ear;
"Your Majesty, five thousand is best, five thousand is best, Your Majesty, hahahaha..."

A group of generals looked at the three idiots in Chang'an like idiots, and only these three dared to say such a thing. Someone with a brain would never say that half of the 1 people in one guard would become archers. It's not that it can't be done, but...you pay?

Sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor stared at the three generals with black eyes and rolled his eyes, and choked angrily;
"You want five thousand for this kind of superior archer?"

Cheng Yaojin smiled like a soot;
"That's right! Your Majesty, listen to Lao Cheng's analysis. If there are such powerful archers as Wuqian, when I go to war in the future, I will shoot his mother's ten arrows and eight arrows in a whizzing way, and wait for the thieves to be killed." There are not many shots, and the minister will press the sons up..."

Before Cheng Yaojin spit and gesticulated, Li Shimin rolled his eyes again;

"You pay?"

"Ah! Your Majesty... Hey, Your Majesty, please don't go..."

Li Shimin ignored Cheng Yaojin, turned around and walked into the study, Cheng Yaojin hurriedly followed behind and accompanied carefully;

"Your Majesty has not finished speaking, Your Majesty..."

Li Shimin walked into the study quickly, followed by a group of ministers, Cheng Yaojin persuaded him;

"Your Majesty, listen to what I have said. If you equip me with five thousand archers, five thousand high-quality brand-new armors, and five thousand refined iron knives, oh yes, your majesty, the rest Wuqianerlang also needs brand-new armor and weapons, oh yes, there are also war horses, if you give me this kind of equipment, Your Majesty, I can take my guards and kill them into the grassland, do you believe it or not, Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin sat down on the desk without haste, and looked at Cheng Yaojin calmly;
"Yes, I agree with your proposal."

Cheng Yaojin laughed so hard that he quickly bent down;

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling it."

"However, I have calculated that you need more than 100 yuan to go out just for your guard, and the court is in short supply. Since Ai Qing has some ideas, then you can find a way by yourself. Anyway, your family is big and you don't need the 200 yuan. Wanguan's money is not."

"This...Your Majesty, how can I get so much money to pay? Your Majesty knows that even if I sell all my properties and collect the money, I still have nothing. Are you going to take your clansmen to sleep on the street? Your Majesty knows Your Majesty." Mingjian!"

Cheng Yaojin kept bowing with a sullen face, Niu Jinda covered his mouth and stepped back, Yu Chigong also closed his mouth that was about to fight for it, a group of generals thought to themselves, just look at it and you will know that it doesn't make sense, and five A thousand archers plus Mo Dao brigade, nonsense isn't it!

Li Shimin said calmly;

"Since you can't get the money, just stand aside quietly and don't talk."

"It's Your Majesty."

Cheng Yaojin agreed, wiped the sweat off his head and retreated behind Qin Qiong, holding his head unwillingly, for fear of setting up other guards and leaving his troops alone...

Li Shimin knocked on the table with one hand and looked at the officials from the Ministry of Industry who came in and ordered;
"I have already allocated funds to the Ministry of War, and you are not short of money now. You can ask Du Qing's family for money and silk tomorrow. This kind of bow and arrow must be arranged immediately, and it must be produced quickly. The master craftsman who makes bows and arrows, tomorrow I will ask someone to take him to the bow and arrow making yard of your Ministry of Industry, and teach you the secret method of making bows and arrows.

I will solve the beef tendon issue later, but you can start preparing for the other things used to make the bow body. After all, there are six processes, bow stringing is the last one, and the arrow feathers should be arranged as soon as possible. The more the better. , each archer is equipped with thirty arrow feathers, and another fifty in stock.

Each guard is prepared according to the configuration of three thousand archers, and you proceed according to this number. "

"According to the order."

The four officials from the Ministry of Industry promised to step down, but Li Shimin hurriedly stopped him on the spot;
"Hold on."

"Your Majesty, please order."

"No matter how much money is spent, I don't feel sorry for it. This time I have to let go of my hands and feet completely, but I want to see the results when the money is spent. Every process must be well-regulated. No cheating or cutting materials. The minimum standard must be made according to this bow and arrow, and those who fail to meet this standard must not release a bow and arrow out of the gate of your Ministry of Industry."

"It's Your Majesty, and I will obey the order."

"Go."

"Yes."

When the officials from the Ministry of Industry went out, Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui with a smile;
"My decision like this can be regarded as fulfilling the minds of the generals. There can only be three thousand, and I dare not add more, otherwise the money will definitely not be enough."

Du Ruhui nodded;
"That's true. Your Majesty's arrangements are quite in place. The number of three thousand is just right, no more, no less. Even the frontal battlefield is enough to suppress the bandits and soldiers, and the blocking and ambush battles are also enough."

"Yes! You can't spend money recklessly. Although the 2000 million has been handed over to your Ministry of War, how Aiqing needs to spend it is a big deal, so don't be careless!"

Du Ruhui slightly bent over and assured with a serious face;

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that although the money was given to our Ministry of War, it is true that the future expenditures and how to arrange them will not be decided by the ministers and the generals. After the results are discussed, they will come and report to you. Your Majesty, please make this final decision, without your Majesty's nod and affirmation, the Ministry of War will never spend a lot of money indiscriminately."

Li Shimin was very comfortable listening to Du Ruhui's words, and agreed very much;
"Aiqing is the most reassuring in handling affairs, and the Mo Dao of the three thousand archers must not be forgotten."

"According to the order."

Seeing that the configuration of such a powerful archer was settled, a group of generals felt a big stone in their hearts. Who would be willing to pile up their lives if they could be suppressed with bows and arrows?No one is a fool!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting this treasure."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for having such an archer configuration."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty..."

"Okay, okay, thank you dear friends for your congratulations, we are all happy together."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said;
"Your Majesty, why don't we ask Li Dalang to talk about when we will leave and reopen the Silk Road?"

"Sure! Someone immediately go to the General's Mansion to tell Li Dalang to meet here."

"only!"

Qian Dehai waved his hand in agreement, and immediately two servants at the door of the study went out to make arrangements.

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji relaxedly;

"There is one more thing to discuss with love. Li Dalang wants to come up with a business again. He said he wants to raise livestock in captivity, raise sheep, pigs and cattle. He asked the queen to plead for some land use. This has to be done by you."

Changsun Wuji didn't care and asked casually;
"It's not difficult. It's just that I don't know how many sheep and pigs Li Dalang wants to raise. If it's a flock of thousands of sheep, just arrange an open space for him. The land that hasn't been allocated in Lantian is registered by the household department, so your majesty doesn't need it." If you think about it more, I will be able to arrange it for Li Dalang with one hand."

Li Shimin nodded;
"It is said that we are going to raise 50 million sheep, so we have to discuss the size of the land. It is too small and not enough. Besides, there are pigs and cows, and there are chickens, ducks, geese and other messes."

Changsun Wuji was still stunned, while Niu Jinda next to him stared and bluffed in surprise;

"What? Three and a half million sheep? Your Majesty, you heard me right, don't let Li Dalang brag, is he going to get all the sheep in the world into his own hands? This... this is too absurd Bar?"

"God, 30 sheep? Does Li Dalang want to buy and sell all the mutton in the world by himself?"

"Oh, I remembered. I haven't even eaten mutton in the past five or six days. I asked my servants at noon today, and they said that they couldn't buy mutton. They were bought by others at a high price. Could it be Li Dalang? Already started to act?"

"I think it's possible. Li Dalang is the only one in the world who dares to think and do this kind of scary idea. There is no one else..."

"If that's the case? That's a big deal. No way, my Zhang family has to find a way to get in..."

"Yeah, isn't it? It's definitely a big deal. There are hundreds of thousands of sheep. In the future, the price of mutton in the world won't be decided by Li Dalang alone?"

"Then... Li Dalang is going to earn a lot of money again!"

"That's right, I don't think this time is inferior to liquor business!"

Not to mention Niu Jinda and a group of generals, even Yu Chigong scratched his head anxiously, but although he couldn't figure out where Li Dalang was going to get such a huge flock of sheep, Yu Chigong knew that it was right to follow in Li Yu's footsteps , so hurry up and take a step forward;
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister suddenly remembered that there are some urgent matters at home that have not been dealt with. Please leave the old minister."

Niu Jinda saw that Yu Chigong was talking nonsense again. When he came here, the old black said that he had nothing to do today and panicked. Now when he said that there was a big business, he immediately talked nonsense about a lot of things at home. Damn it's a fool?Niu Jinda moved his eyes to the emperor's desk and said with a smile;

"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, I also remembered that I have some family affairs, so please leave."

"His Majesty……"

"His Majesty……"

Li Shimin rubbed his head before speaking;
"Don't panic, old brothers, don't panic, Li Dalang didn't ask others to participate this time, he just came to ask for land use, so don't worry everyone!"

Niu Jinda muttered;
"Can you not be in a hurry, such a big deal."

"Is it useful to be anxious? They didn't say who they asked to join in this time. Even my sons and daughters haven't received the news that they want to join in the money. So we have to discuss it carefully."

Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and the three civil servants got together and discussed in low voice for a long time, and they all agreed that His Majesty must have wanted to get involved when he said this, or else he would just sell some land to Li Dalang. , why bother to say it publicly?
Since it was said publicly, all the confidant generals of Prince Qin's mansion were present, and they would definitely benefit from it. The three of them had a heated discussion on how to get in. The generals here were also in groups of three or five. , in a group of three or five, the words were extremely excited, not long after that, Wei Chigong roared in the group of three stupid people in Chang'an;
"Why should I just put in a little bit, you shameless dead cow, and you want to take advantage? There is no way! This time, as much as your surname Niu put in, my Yuchi family also put in as much. He Li Dalang this time If you don't give a certain family a fair old man, you can't finish with him!"

Li Shimin looked at Yuchi Gong's beard and hair over there, all furious, and Cheng Yaojin next to him was trying to persuade a peacemaker. Niu Jinda and his sworn brother, General Duan, looked like they were watching the excitement. What Li Shimin saw was horrible. They didn't even flinch, and they were so close to fighting, these three idiots!Ugh……

The three of them, Changsun Wuji, had discussed everything before they came together and spoke;
"Your Majesty, Li Dalang will have to prepare for such a big deal for a long time. Let's say that he has to buy a lot of ewes and rams for the lambs. It shouldn't be a short-term thing. Our monarchs and ministers have great benefits." Take the time and work hard to carefully discuss a perfect plan."

Li Shimin choked indifferently;
"Are you discussing carefully? People have already sent a team of thousands of people to capture yellow sheep in the mountains, and I heard that hundreds of wild yellow sheep have been captured, and the sheep near Chang'an City are also being bought at high prices. Let's discuss it for a few more years. Li Dalang has started selling meat. How dare you delay it for a few days? The sooner this matter is the better, the purpose of calling you here today is to discuss countermeasures. I will come up with a perfect plan today. I can't wait. , to put it bluntly, if you don't want to interfere, I will definitely not let it go."

Changsun Wuji is also an old fox. I didn't expect Li Dalang to be so fast, and he has been doing it for a long time. I have to admire this kid's methods;
"Ah! So he, Li Dalang, has already attacked?"

Li Shimin nodded and looked at Changsun Wuji;

"Exactly, that's why I was anxious to ask Wuji to come up with a countermeasure."

A group of generals heard that Li Dalang had already started to act, so they didn't fight over here, they all gathered around and listened carefully to what the emperor and the Minister of the Household Department had to say.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, 30 sheep can't be gathered in a short while. Li Dalang just searched the world for sheep to sell, and he couldn't get them together in a few months. We have enough time to prepare. So, your Majesty, please relax and don't worry about anything, you will definitely be able to participate."

Li Shimin looked a little unconcerned;

"Relax? Is there still enough time? Wuji, what you said this time is not what I want, and I dare not be careless. Hundreds of thousands of sheep are scary to say, but that is for others, then Li Dalang You don’t know the means?”
