Chapter 150

Su Nancheng laughed: "Hurry up and prepare hot water for me to scrub, it's almost choking me to death."

After washing, the smell finally went away.

Su Nancheng breathed a sigh of relief: "The incense from the Western Regions is really terrible."

When lying down, Su Nancheng hugged Dongmei and said, "I'll let you go shopping tomorrow. I never asked you to go to buy some jewelry powder."

"Slaves don't need to..."

"Why don't you use it, ask Mrs. Li to accompany you, and ask a girl to accompany you. Buy the things you need by yourself."

"Yes, that servant will definitely not buy incense powder from the Western Regions," Dongmei said.

"Buy it if you like it, but use less when you use it, it's really fatal." Su Nancheng closed his eyes: "Go to sleep."

Dongmei hummed for a moment, feeling that the young master is really nice.I didn't like it myself, so I asked her to buy it.

But she doesn't like it either, so she won't buy it.

When he arrived at the city defense camp the next day, Zhang Hu came to see him.He held several knives in his hand.

"what happened?"

"Look, my lord, I feel that these weapons are quite a problem." Zhang Hu said, pulling out a knife: "Look."

He reverently pointed the blade inward, and raised his hands flat.

Su Nancheng felt it when he picked it up: "It's light."

"Yes, the whole thing is lighter, and the blade is even thinner, so it's not durable." The knife is for chopping, and it's so thin that it basically breaks after only a few uses.

The weapons of the city defense battalion haven't been replaced so quickly, but they have to be replaced every three months.

Lest the weapon is not easy to use.

Of course, if it is broken at ordinary times, it must be replaced at any time.

Su Nancheng flicked the thin blade and sneered: "I remember that the weapons here are all sent from Jincheng, right? Is it the same in the northwest?"

"My lord, that's right. This weapon, on the battlefield...is all scrap metal." Zhang Hu sighed.

The swords, bows and crossbows used in war break down quickly.

Basically, every soldier must have several or a dozen weapons in exchange.

Because it's time to roll the blade after cutting people a few times.

In a big battle, not only food and grass, but also the supply of weapons is a problem.

Now this is clearly a moth.

"What does the Commander say about this?" Su Nancheng asked.

"The humble job hasn't gone yet," Zhang Hu said.

Su Nancheng nodded, and went directly to Wang Taolue.

"My lord, the weapons sent to us are all like this, and I don't know what to do elsewhere."

Looking at the knife, Wang Taolue was also surprised: "This is too outrageous."

Su Nancheng just watched, wondering if Wang Taolue knew.

Sure enough, he went on to say: "But now it's the Northwest War. There is also a shortage of weapons. Smelting iron is not so easy. We can't pick up all the broken weapons. This armory must be helpless. "

Su Nancheng was obedient: "Yes, it's not easy now. Everywhere must be focused on the Northwest War. I don't know when this war will end."

"This is beyond what we can know." Wang Tao said with a slight smile, "However, we still need to ask them to give an explanation on the matter of weapons. We can't act like this."

Su Nancheng nodded, and left with the knife first.

"How is it? Can the commander say to go back?" Zhang Hu asked outside.

Su Nancheng shook his head: "How is it possible, it's not bad if it's not like this next time. You go and tell me."

"Change the weapons of our original team properly, don't use these. Isn't there still stock?" Su Nancheng put the knife aside: "Give this kind to other teams."

Even if Zhang Hu represents a team now, he is still closer to the original team.

Soon, Su Nancheng knew this statement.

The supervisor in charge of the weapons factory is Mr. Peng, and the person who came to deliver the weapons this time is Mr. Xu, the supervisor.

Before he left, he was in the Ministry of War, so he came to Su Nancheng's house to meet him in person the next day.

Others are at the fifth rank, and you are at the sixth rank, so you should be more polite.

When Mr. Xu came, he poured out bitter water, and only said that it was not easy to do.

At the end, only a wooden box was left.

Su Nancheng sent him away, opened the box and saw that it was neatly stacked, full of bank notes.

It is owned by a bank with a long history in the capital city, with a total of [-] silver.

"This is a big deal." Su Nancheng said.

"That shows that they have deep water here." Cheng Ming said.

"Yeah, I've broken my conscience, of course I've made money." I replaced the thick weapons with thin ones.One knife can do two.

This of course saves money.

But weapons are easy to break, and now they are even less durable.

I have been given [-] here, so I don't know how much Wang Taolue is.

Before the war, these moths really didn't think about it at all.

Presumably Northwest can handle it, right?
Su Nancheng shook his head, and handed the banknote to Cheng Ming: "Put it away. Grandpa's birthday is coming up, so I should think about what to give."

"Master Hou likes calligraphy and painting, why not send calligraphy and painting to the young master?"

Su Nancheng thought for a while and nodded: "You can buy it later. You don't want to be extravagant, just get what you want."

The weather outside became gloomy, and soon there was thunder.

The thunder in April is not too violent, but it is obvious that there will be a heavy rain.

Su Nancheng stood outside the door with his hands behind his back.

Fighting is burning money, from food and grass, to military pay, to weapons, clothes, bedding, medicines and many other things, I don’t know how many people’s pockets are fattened.

No wonder this battle is going to be a protracted one.

From this point of view, General Xu is shrewd, and Luo Xing is the fool.

These days, people who want to do something right don't end well.

Su Nancheng stood and watched Li Song running around the screen wall: "My lord, the empress has collapsed."

Su Nancheng was taken aback: "When did it happen?"

"Right now, I saw a messenger team outside. It is estimated that the death knell will be struck soon."

Su Nancheng nodded: "Then wait."

When the empress passed away, he didn't have to enter the palace, and his official position was not enough.

"Let's collect the colored things at home." It's still necessary for a few months.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, there was a dull bell in the rain.It hit people's hearts again and again.

This empress has risen all the way from her humble origins, and gave birth to the eldest son and the second son, one of whom is still a prince.

After decades of scenery, she can be regarded as outstanding.

But in the end he lost.

Li's family is full, the rest of the life of the abolished prince, and the death of the eldest grandson made her feel unspeakable pain.

In front of the emperor herself, she has long since lost the preferential treatment she had back then.

So even if the emperor didn't kill her, she would wither away gradually.

The Queen's funeral is a national funeral.

As long as the emperor does not abolish the empress, even if the prince is abolished, the empress is still honorable.

Not to mention anything else, Cheng Kanghou's birthday will definitely not be passed.

The queen hasn't come out for a hundred days. If he dares to throw a big banquet, then wait for the officials to scold him.

When Su Nancheng returned to the mansion, the furnishings in the mansion were also changed.

Cheng Kanghou's couple and Su Yingqu's couple, all the high-ranking wives in the mansion went to the palace to bow down.
