Chapter 805: Authorized by the Ministry of Industry, make money together
Lin Yun glared at him and said, "Big things have to wait until the cabinet meeting. Didn't the Eighth Prince notice that there are not many people here today?"

The Eight Sages frowned secretly, and then realized that Ye Ruhui was not in the study.

"Humph!"

Lin Yun decayed and left.

Fulin'an hooked the sleeves of his spacious official robe with one hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and sneered: "Eighth Prince, you are really going to be disliked by thousands of people! Let me tell you, you shouldn't have come at all today..."

The Eight Wise Kings smiled contemptuously: "What? Do you all resent me because I failed to make your conspiracy succeed?"

Qi Changyun said angrily: "What the hell! We don't dare to resent the Eighth Prince, but... it may not be a good thing if you openly offend the Prince Regent! You have to know that you, as a cabinet member, are not that important. If the Prince Regent is really angry, , then your career will probably come to an end!"

The Eighth Sage King picked up the tea cup and took a sip, playing with the taste: "That's right! What you, Master Qi, can see, can I not see it?"

With that said, he put down the tea cup, got up and left.

"Everyone, please take your time and enjoy the tea. I will take the first step!"

He was not bold enough to cause trouble for himself, but he knew in his heart that even if he broke the news, Lin Yun would not deal with him.

Lin Yun also wants to use him to slowly get rid of the Li family members. As long as there are still people in the Li family alive, he will still be safe.

But what Qi Changyun said just now was a reminder to him.

He had to control the intensity of his evil plan. If he used too much force and Lin Yun couldn't bear it, he would die.

Here, Lin Yun walked out of the study and went straight to the pavilion.

Hou Yong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up quickly and bowed: "I have seen the regent!"

This Hou Yong is an old man in his fifties. He is short and lean, but his whole person is full of intelligence. He must be a veteran in officialdom.

Lin Yun sat directly on the armchair next to him and said with a smile: "No courtesy! What does Hou Shangshu have to do with me?"

"My lord, I have long heard that you have a group of skilled craftsmen under your command working in Niubei Village. Do you think that if there are any suitable projects, can they be handed over to our Ministry of Industry?"

Lin Yun heard the implication, raised his finger and pointed at him, playfully saying: "If you want money, just say it, why bother beating around the bush?"

Hou Yonglao blushed and said in embarrassment: "I don't dare to play tricks in front of the prince! But our Ministry of Industry has really suffered too hard these years! The late emperor never reused the Ministry of Industry. The last time we produced weapons and equipment, it was twenty Years ago, when the late Emperor was still alive!"

Lin Yun knew very well what Hou Yong was thinking. He was going to place a large order for Niubei Village to produce bamboo guns and AK47 assault rifles.

Even if he doesn't make money personally, as long as money circulates in Fengyang County, it will promote the local economy and make many people rich.

Just like a piece of pork, whoever touches it will get a layer of oil on their hands and die.

There must be someone behind Hou Yong who asked him to ask Lin Yun for an order in the hope of making money.

But Lin Yun knew very well that if he didn't give any favor to his subordinates, then who would support him?
It is impossible for me to swallow such a large piece of meat by myself.

Lin Yun said playfully: "Is it Fulin'an's trick for you?"

Hou Yong was shocked and waved his hands quickly: "No, no! It was Xiao Lao's own idea. Your Majesty, please don't accuse Fu Zhongtang unjustly!"

"Okay! You don't have to be nervous! He, Li Jing, is stingy, but I, Lin Yun, are very generous! After a while, I will send a few craftsmen to work in your engineering department, and some of the orders for manufacturing bamboo guns and ammunition will be handed over in the future. I’ll give you the Ministry of Industry, but I’ll be honest, if the bamboo gun produced is unqualified, or there are casualties, I’ll take your head!”

Hou Yong was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to express his thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely work hard and pay close attention to quality. The manufacturing process will never be worse than that of Niubei Village!" Could he be unhappy?

Lin Yun was feeding honey directly into his mouth this time, and the person who gave it to him from the Ministry of Works was the guy who was eating.

Now, as long as they are not fools, any official or ordinary people will know that bamboo guns will definitely become mainstream in the future.

Because now, bamboo tube guns have been resold on the market.

Not to mention a certain vassal king with a different surname, even some rich and powerful bandits and old tycoons all have some bamboo guns for self-defense.

As Lin Yunguan grew bigger and bigger, the bamboo gun also became popular rapidly.

The era of cold weapons is long gone.

Lin Yun nodded: "Is there nothing else? Then step back!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

After that, Hou Yong left with satisfaction.

As soon as he walked out of the pavilion, he met the Eight Wise Kings, who was so frightened that he quickly bowed and saluted.

Although he, the Minister of Works, was one of the six ministers, he was the first-rank official with the least sense of existence.

Therefore, Hou Yong does not dare to offend anyone now.

But he probably never dreamed that he was about to take part of the order for the production of bamboo guns and ammunition from Lin Yun, which would completely change the status of the Ministry of Industry in the imperial court.

After the Ministry of Industry produces weapons and equipment, complex forces will definitely come to please it. Although the Ministry of Industry mainly equips the imperial army with weapons, each ministry and military branch also needs to spend money to purchase weapons.

"I have met the Eighth Prince!"

The Eighth Sage King saw his proud look and frowned: "What makes Hou Shangshu so happy? And makes me happy too?"

Hou Yong did not hide anything, and simply recounted the conversation he had just had with Lin Yun.

The Eighth Sage King was secretly happy. Previously, he had to go to Lin Yun if he wanted to purchase weapons, so he had to be restricted in everything, and even the quantity he purchased would be controlled.

But if the Ministry of Industry can also produce, then he will have a chance to operate.

The King of Khan left to him by his fourth brother is also not someone to be trifled with. Once he can change their clothes in private, or simply get the manufacturing process of the bamboo gun and put it into production directly in King Khan's Hanzhong County, it will be very powerful. .

After that, the Eight Wise Kings quickly walked into the pavilion and said with a forced smile: "Don't be angry, Prince Regent! I just said that. If you are really anxious for money, I cannot be a stumbling block for you! It's just... I also want to know what the regent does with so much money."

Lin Yun said playfully: "What? The Eighth Prince is interested?"

"Ahem, yes! Even a fool can guess that there must be a lot of secrets here! Otherwise, how could Fulin'an be so interested in it?"

Lin Yun said: "The king plans to borrow money from the imperial court in order to mass-produce bamboo guns and ammunition!"

The Eight Wise Kings were surprised and said: "The regent is preparing for a war, right? If so, then I will not agree! One hundred million taels of silver may seem like a lot, but if it is a war, it will be a drop in the bucket!"
