The king behind the empress

Chapter 63 Two Thousand Sets of Heavy Cavalry Armor
The capital, within the palace.

When Mo Zizai woke up, Tang Weiyi had already gone to court.

Thinking about what happened last night, Mo Zizai felt a little helpless.

Under Tang Weiyi's strict defense, after tossing around for most of the night, she still didn't eat any meat, and barely drank a few sips of soup, which can be regarded as comfort.

However, thinking that Tang Weiyi was less than ten days away from the Human Realm, Mo Zizai was full of excitement and got up slowly.

After washing, Mo Zizai looked at the empty Shangyang Palace, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He felt like a househusband, his daughter-in-law went to work, and he had nothing to do at home. He was completely a little boy who was adopted, waiting for the mental state of a rich woman to get off work.

Thinking about it carefully, this feeling is really... quite cool.

Mo Zizai shook his head and put aside such beautiful fantasies. Now that Da Zhou is still unstable, it is obviously unrealistic to want to be a good boy in peace, so let's hurry up and do something.

After casually dealing with Mo Zizai after breakfast in Shangyang Palace, he strolled out of the palace with ease.

In front of the Royal Bridge, because it is inconvenient to enter the palace, I will wait here every morning on Saturdays.

"Did you eat breakfast?"

Seeing Zhou Qi coming up to him, Mo Zizai asked casually. He told Zhou Qi before that it would be fine to let him wait in the palace, but Zhou Qi didn't listen at all, and came here early every day.

"have eaten."

Zhou Qi still had that unsmiling look, and said to Mo Zizai: "I have secretly ordered someone to build another statue, and now it has been sent to Yu Zhisi's residence."

"okay."

Mo Zizai nodded. This is something he told Zhou Qi to do yesterday. After all, the acceleration factor cannot be increased for no reason. There must be a reason for it.

"By the way, how is your practice?"

"Within one month, you can enter the peak of Youzhao."

Speaking of this, Zhou Qi felt a little turbulent in his heart. He didn't expect Mo Zizai's acceleration to increase so exaggeratedly, directly increasing his cultivation speed by twenty times.

This shortened the two years he needed to reach the peak of Youzhao to one month.

"A month is a bit long."

Mo Zizai thought about it for a while, the accelerator needs 5 million taels of silver to upgrade to V1000, and those ministers who were blackmailed by him, the total amount of gifts added up is more than 2000 million taels, which is about the same.

Taking half of the 2000 million yuan directly is a bit too obvious, and it is not feasible.

Thinking of this, Mo Zizai's face became a little serious, "It seems that the house is going to be ransacked again."

"Zhou Qi, let the Inspectorate pay close attention. There must be someone dishonest with the gift this time. You should focus on a few families whose net worth exceeds tens of millions. If you dare not pay half of the money this time, just ransack his house!"

Originally, Mo Zizai didn't expect that these ministers would really contribute half of the family property, and two or three percent of the national treasury would be enough. After all, they were expected to do things, and they couldn't kill all the sheep at once.

But it's different now, the situation has changed now, he needs money urgently, so naturally he can't control the life and death of those fat sheep.

"Upgrading from V3 to V4, the acceleration factor must be doubled anyway."

Mo Zizai felt a little proud in his heart, "At that time, ten days will become five days, bah, one month on Saturday will become half a month."

He is an upright gentleman, how could he slaughter fat sheep for that kind of thing, he is obviously for the sake of his subordinates to quickly improve their strength.

Mo Zizai repeated these words silently in his heart several times, until he believed what he said, and then he stopped in satisfaction, "I am indeed an honest gentleman, and I have really worked hard for my subordinates..."

"Cough cough."

Mo Zizai, who noticed that his thoughts were flying wild, hurriedly coughed twice, interrupting his thoughts, "Zhou Qi, come with me to the Arms Bureau."

"it is good."

Zhou Qi silently distanced himself from Mo Zizai. Although he didn't know what Mo Zizai was talking nonsense just now, no matter how he looked at it, the smile on Mo Zizai's face didn't look like he was thinking about his subordinates.

After all, Mo Zizai didn't have any women under his command.

……

Compared with the last time when Mo Zizai came, the Arms Bureau was obviously much busier this time, with bustling scenes everywhere, and the sound of tinkling and rattling could be heard endlessly.

"This is what the Military Bureau looks like."

Looking at the strong and strong man making weapons by the stove, Mo Zizai nodded in satisfaction. The Weapons Bureau is where weapons are made for Da Zhou. If it is not busy here, Da Zhou will have no weapons to use.

However, when he saw the coals burning in the stove, Mo Zizai was suddenly taken aback.

"Carbon, coal, coal..."

After muttering in his mouth for a while, Mo Zizai's eyes suddenly brightened, "Yes, why did I forget about the coal, this is a good thing!"

"My lord, my lord?"

Because the craftsmen were constantly making weapons, Tao Qiong, who had just arrived for the weapons, yelled loudly at Mo Zizai twice, which directly woke up Mo Zizai who was in deep thought.

"My lord, it's too noisy here, please move to the back room to talk."

"it is good."

Mo Zizai nodded. The sound of blacksmithing can be heard endlessly here, which is really not a good place for chatting.

After following Tao Qiong through several long corridors and coming to the back room, the sound of iron hammering was finally cut off, and the world beside Mo Zizai's ears became quiet again.

"It's really hard for you to be so noisy every day."

Mo Zizai is a person who doesn't like to be noisy. He feels that if he stays here for a long time, he must go crazy.

"There's nothing hard or hard, just get used to it."

A look of disapproval appeared on Tao Qiong's face. The sound of weapon making was so noisy, "The Firearms Bureau is really noisy. Not only are they noisy, but they can also explode."

"..."

Tao Qiong's words made Mo Zizai speechless. After all, in this era, those who forge firearms are indeed much more dangerous than those who forge cold weapons.

"Forget it, wait a few days for those ministers to send the money to the treasury. This king will mention to His Majesty that you will double the salaries of your Arms Bureau, Firearms Bureau, and the three departments of the Imperial Prison. By the way, I will recruit some people for you." .”

As a person who has lived in modern times, Mo Zizai knows very well that technology is the primary productive force, and for this era, these craftsmen are the technology of this era.

So spending a lot of money on these craftsmen, in Mo Zizai's opinion, is much more cost-effective than spending on those rotten scholars.

"Thank you, my lord, thank you Your Majesty!"

Hearing that Mo Zizai said that they would double their salaries, Tao Qiong saluted Mo Zizai several times excitedly. As for whether what Mo Zizai said would count, he had no doubts at all.

The person who can kill the servant of the household department in the court, will his words count?
"My lord, I don't know what orders you have come this time, as long as the subordinates can do it, you can just say it."

"Help me build two thousand sets of cavalry armor."

Mo Zizai paused for a moment, then repeated with an emphatic tone: "We need heavy cavalry."
