Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 95 Who Stole My Bicycle?

Under the stunned Li Wei and the cheers of all the soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang threw the knife to the side of the craftsman and said with a heroic smile: "Yes, Li Wei, you have made a contribution this time, and I will reward you this time." Gold...well, a hundred taels, ten pieces of silk and satin, and a set of imperial porcelain."

When he mentioned gold, he paused and almost said tens of thousands.

When Li Wei heard that he had received the money, his eyes suddenly lit up. Fearing that he would regret it, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

It’s not easy, I finally got the money back!
"Your Majesty, I think those steel knives in the warehouse should also be checked, just in case Mr. Li... ha!"

Zhao Ben suddenly came out and said, although he didn't finish what he said, everyone understood clearly that it meant that Li Wei only made these few good knives, and the ones in the warehouse were still shoddy.

Li Wei's expression paused and he said nonchalantly: "Master Zhao, if you don't believe me, just go and check in the warehouse."

"Okay, you're welcome then!"

Zhao Ben didn't give him a chance to regret and agreed immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others did not have time to accompany him here to check the warehouse. Only a few officers in charge of the Ministry of War were left, and everyone else left.

Li Wei accompanied Zhao Ben and others into the warehouse and checked them one by one. This was related to his return money. If these guys opened their eyes and told lies, then he would not do it.

The warehouse full of weapons was neatly arranged and looked very spectacular. Zhao Ben and his men randomly selected dozens of them and chopped wood one by one. Naturally, there were no surprises in the results, they were all qualified.

Those generals who were chopping iron only had a few curled blades. People like Zhao Ben were not very strong, so they would certainly not have any problem chopping wood.

We checked hundreds of steel knives, bows, arrows, and armor, and found nothing wrong with them. The flintlock guns were made by the military bureau in the palace, and they had no control over them.

In the end, Zhao Ben had to give up and left with everyone sighing.

Li Wei cut disdainfully at their backs.

Seeing that it was getting late, he also planned to go back. When he walked out of the gate of the Ordnance Bureau, he suddenly felt that something was missing.

"By the way, my bicycle is still locked outside the palace gate!"

After the morning court, he followed the group of people to the Ordnance Bureau and didn't even bother to pick it up.

Li Wei hurriedly turned to the palace and came to the stables outside the Meridian Gate.

The stables were empty. Naturally, all the horses ridden by the generals had ridden back, and his bicycle was also missing!
Gone...gone...gone...gone!

Li Weiru was struck by lightning and hurriedly ran to the pillar where he locked his bicycle. He saw the chain fell to the ground and the lock was violently smashed in half!

"Who? Who? Who stole my bike??"

Li Wei shouted loudly, but no one around him answered. Only a few guards guarding the door looked at him in surprise.

Seeing these guards, he was moved in his heart, and hurriedly approached one of the guards and asked, "Have you seen my bicycle?"

The guard was stunned. He didn't know what bicycle Li Wei was talking about, so he could only shake his head.

Li Wei turned his eyes to the guard opposite and shook his head.

These guards also know how to change shifts. Who knows when the things he put here in the morning will be gone.

Li Wei was so anxious that he picked up the smashed lock and looked around outside the Meridian Gate, but couldn't find any sign of the bicycle.

After a while, the courtiers also went off duty one after another, and occasionally there were officials passing by.

Li Wei grabbed the person and asked, "Have you seen my bicycle?"

However, most civil servants did not have a good relationship with him. They either ignored or scolded his inquiries, and some even laughed at him:
"I asked you to sneer in the morning, but now it's over, isn't it?"

He was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight. If the guards hadn't pulled him away, he would have had to fight!
In the end, he had no choice but to stare at the passing officials to see who looked more like a thief!
At this time, Wu Bozong walked out of the palace gate and saw Li Wei staring at the passers-by one by one with an unkind look on his face. He stepped forward curiously and asked, "Master Li, what are you doing?"

Li Wei turned around when he heard the sound and saw that he was an acquaintance. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm and asked, "Old Wu, have you seen my bicycle? It's the thing I rode in the morning!"

"Ah this..."

When Wu Bozong heard this, his expression immediately became strange. Wenyuan Pavilion was right next to the palace gate. He didn't even have to go out to see a few guards carrying bicycles into the palace. As for who to move them in, it didn't matter. Ask?
"Um...well, why don't you go into the palace and have a look?"

Li Wei was stunned and suddenly realized that although Wu Bozong didn't say it clearly, the meaning was already very clear!
Go to the palace and find out who else in the palace can do such a shameful thing?Who else but some bad old man?
He should have thought of it a long time ago. Look at the lock in his hand. It was smashed in half. It was so violent. Who else could it be?
Li Wei abandoned Wu Bozong and angrily walked to the palace, directly to Qianqing Palace!
As soon as he entered the courtyard of Qianqing Palace, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang wandering around in the courtyard, having fun, and Xu Shou was carefully accompanying him, for fear that he would fall.

And his precious bicycle was currently enjoying himself on his crotch!

No reason! ! !

Li Wei rushed to Zhu Yuanzhang angrily, pointed at the bicycle and asked: "Your Majesty! You...where did you come from??"

Thinking of the knife in the morning, he didn't dare to directly say that he stole it.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and glanced at him. He was not embarrassed at all by being caught and exposed. He said in a calm tone: "Oh, you said this, we picked this up at the door of our house. I heard it was called a bicycle."

Li Wei was shocked that there were such shameless people in Ming Dynasty!
He raised his hand and held the lock that was broken in half in front of him: "Is this how you picked it up??"

"What else? Do you think we stole it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked displeasedly.

Li Wei gritted his teeth and said a few words from between his teeth: "Of course! Of course! No! Yes!"

Of course you are not stealing, you are clearly robbing!
"Huh!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, then left him alone and practiced riding a bicycle on his own.

He heard from the guards that Li Wei rode this thing in circles around the ministers when he came in the morning, and it was smooth. However, it was not the same when he got started.

Li Wei watched from the side as Zhu Yuanzhang wasted his treasure. He hated it but couldn't take it back.

"Your Majesty, be careful, don't fall!"

It doesn't matter if I fall to death, don't break the bike!

Li Wei cursed fiercely in his heart!

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him, smiled happily, and had a great time.

"Why don't you leave yet? What are you doing here?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw him standing there stupidly, he opened his mouth and asked.

Li Wei's face twitched, and he said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, it is our traditional Chinese virtue not to be ignorant when picking up gold. Do you think it would be a good idea to return this bicycle to its original owner?"

When it came to returning the property to its original owner, he pointed at himself with his finger, for fear that the old man would not know who the original owner was!
"Oh, we picked it up based on our ability, why should we return it?"

WDNMD! ! !

If I couldn't beat you, I would have to fight with you!

"How about you give me the money? I spent the money on it!"

Although he made this bicycle in the Ordnance Bureau, both materials and labor were paid in full, and there was a 30.00% premium.

"Money? Didn't we just reward you with a hundred taels of gold? You still want money from us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared and shouted.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and he was right. He just got the money back. It was only one hundred taels of gold, which was seven to eight hundred thousand dollars. Compared with this, a bicycle seemed nothing.

Thinking of this, his anger level couldn't help but drop a bit.

But you still have to fight for it, after all, it is your first car.

"Your Majesty, you can't calculate it like this. One horse returns to the other."

"Hmph, then let's waive the reward and return this bicycle to you."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

"No, no! I gave you the bike. You can play with it slowly."

Li Wei gave up decisively. Although it was his first car, it was nothing compared to a hundred taels of gold.

Just go back and build another one. Anyway, with experience, the second one will be better.

Hmm... Why does it smell a bit scummy for no reason!

Zhu Yuanzhang had enough fun after playing for a while. He handed the bicycle to Xu Shou to push it away and put it away, and called Li Wei into the Qianqing Palace.

"We heard that you have been quite free recently?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down on the dragon chair and said calmly.

Li Wei was shocked and quickly argued: "Who? Who said that? I have been working for three months in two months, where is my leisure? Don't lie, I am very busy!"

“Hmph, you’re busy and you still have time to tinker with this kind of bicycle?”

"Well, it's just a by-product, by the way!"

This is serious, okay?Isn’t that why I’m so busy, or why would I be making weapons for you?

Li Wei didn't mean what he said.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, this bitch is lazy whenever he gets a chance, he just needs to be dealt with!

"Now that the weapons are all finished, let me arrange another task for you. We have mobilized five thousand soldiers to form a divine fire guard. You are most familiar with firearms, and you have practiced spear formations before, so I will hand over this divine fire guard. I’ve trained you.”

Sure enough, I knew this would happen. As soon as I finished the work, the next task came immediately!

Although he had indeed trained a three-stage musket formation before, it was with 30 people. 30 people and 5000 people were completely different things!

What's more, when he trained those 30 people, it was just for a good look. It might not be the case at all on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, I am a civil servant. It is not my turn to train the army, right? I won't go!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said angrily: "You still know that you are a civil servant? Do you think you have offended people?"

Although Li Wei acted like it had nothing to do with him all day long and turned a blind eye to the impeachment of civil servants, in fact he was now almost incompatible with the officials of the Manchu Dynasty. As long as he made the slightest mistake, he would be beaten Impeach.

Because this was probably his future son-in-law, Zhu Yuanzhang was already pulling him out very hard, but this bitch was squatting in the pit and refused to climb out!
