Chapter 441: The Armory
Oh?
Liangchen smiled, father-in-law, you are asking the right person.
"As long as things are good, money is not a problem!"
Liangchen is not worried about money now, Meng Guozhong, the soldiers and horses of Nancheng, has a sum, and Liu Jixiang, the imperial horse supervisor, also has a sum, and the two sums add up, how can he squander it openly. To be honest, if it weren't for worrying about the country and the people, the good ministers would have wanted to run away with a vote. With so much money, he can't be happy.
I can't do it, I really don't want to drag my son and grandson to kneel at the gate of the city to shave my hair decades later.
Now it depends on what good goods are in the war bureau, as long as it is worth it, the good minister will definitely not frown.
He also likes this kind of atmosphere, and it is the most pleasant to spread out everything and mark the price clearly.
Liu Jixiang said "um", and a smile appeared on the old face, and a group of eunuchs who gambled money looked very energetic.
"You stand down first."
Liu Jixiang waved his hand, and all the eunuchs and eunuchs suddenly retreated with interest, only a middle-aged eunuch was still sitting there.
"This is Gonggong Lu, the eunuch of the Admiral's Armory." Liu Jixiang pointed to the middle-aged eunuch and said.
This is the number two person in the War Bureau, and Liangchen hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Father-in-law Lu!" ”
Eunuch Lu smiled slightly, and pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down and say." ”
"Hey!"
Liangchen sat down busily, but it was a little awkward, a table of eight immortals, and the feeling of missing one of three. He thought that if Wang Dana and this eunuch Lu were addicted to gambling, how could his little Wei father-in-law have to play well with the two. Winning or losing is secondary, and the emphasis is on participation.
After Eunuch Lu waited for Liangchen to sit down, he asked him with a smile: "You are an internal official and eunuch, what do you want to do with the ordnance?" What's the matter, Cao Fatzi can't do it if he wants to drum up the emperor's internal? ”
Liangchen was busy saying no, the internal exercise is actually a military parade in the forbidden middle school, a military exercise exclusive to the inner court, and the participants are all eunuchs. The emperors of the past dynasties were young and promising, and they liked to do internal exercises. Wanli Ye of this dynasty also did it a few times, but later asked the foreign court to persuade him to stop.
Like maritime affairs, the internal exercise is also a symbol of the rise of the inner court to a certain extent, so the outer court hates it.
Historically, the most common rhetoric used by foreign dynasties to persuade them to stop internal operations is that they are prone to panic. Because other than this reason, other excuses are not too reasonable.
The emperor is so martial, what's wrong?
Listening to Eunuch Lu's tone, Cao Fatzi obviously said that the boss of the internal official eunuch was Grandpa Cao. Liangchen doesn't have a good impression of this Cao Gonggong, behind the Terracotta Division and Dongchang smashing his office, there must be a share of this Cao Fat Man. He just doesn't have the strength at the moment, he really has the strength to wrestle with this fat man, he can't swallow this breath.
I haven't heard that the boss of the unit has made a stumbling block for the people below, but the good minister has made achievements, and you Cao Fat also has light. The benefits, can you be missing?
After saying a few words about the maritime affairs they were going to do, Liu Jixiang and Eunuch Lu glanced at each other, and then nodded thoughtfully: "Going to sea is such a big thing, I didn't help anyone follow him." But if you have people, you can't do anything without a guy who can take advantage of it, and you can't do anything with armor and weapons, otherwise you will run into a Japanese robber, and ask someone to beat them with a burning stick? In Liu Jixiang's eyes, all pirates rampant on the sea are Japanese pirates, which is the impression handed down from the Jiajing Dynasty, which can be described as deep-rooted.
Liangchen also had no intention of correcting this mistake, as the creatures of the Franc Machine, the red-haired ghost, and the white-skinned pig were too laborious and laborious to explain to them.
"That's why I begged my father-in-law to help, and I hope my father-in-law can help." Liangchen has a smile on his face, he has to ask for others, the tone can't be high, and his attitude has to be low. Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, but send the money.
"You are looking for the right person in this matter, our family has nothing else in this military battle, but there are many weapons. But," Liu Jixiang stopped his words and looked at Liangchen with a smile.
"Don't worry, I understand." Liangchen nodded hurriedly, "I will buy it at the price, and I will never embarrass my father-in-law." ”
Liu Jixiang was a little embarrassed and said: "You can understand that it is the best, in fact, you are also under the name of Zhang's father-in-law, and so am I, speaking of which, you and I are considered to be the same family, but you also know that although our family is a palm print, there are so many people up and down in the prison watching, if it is a fake public and private, it is inevitable that some people will gossip." So, let's just do business, it's convenient for you, and it's convenient for me. ”
After speaking, Liu Jixiang looked at Eunuch Lu again and said with a smile: "You are the steward of the armory, do you think this thing will be successful?" ”
Eunuch Lu pretended to groan, and then said: "There are a lot of things in the arsenal, all of which are for the Beijing camp and the imperial horse supervisor, but there are not many things used in the Beijing camp over the years, and many things are rusty and unusable. If the maritime affairs are really done, isn't it our palace that has benefited? "It can be seen that Eunuch Lu knows the benefits of maritime affairs.
Liu Jixiang nodded lightly, with a look of approval on his face, and praised him: "Father-in-law Lu's thoughts are really loyal to the monarch and the country, and we slaves and maids should share the emperor's worries." ”
Turning his head to look at Liangchen, "Isn't that reasonable?" ”
Of course, Liangchen said yes, and as soon as the words fell, Liu Jixiang came again: "That, how much money do you have?" ”
"This..."
It's not easy for good ministers to pick up this fork, it's not easy to get to the bottom of it. Buying and selling, no matter how big the buyer is, he always wants to be cheaper. In this way, it is the business economy.
Seeing this, Liu Jixiang laughed: "Oh, it's the first time you go out, and you don't have much money to give you when you want to come to Grandpa Zhang, it doesn't matter, since you are the same family, our family always has to talk about some favors, and if you can give you cheaper, it will be cheaper, Father-in-law Lu said it's not?" ”
"Father-in-law Zhang's face must be given, and Father-in-law Liu's face must also be given." When Eunuch Lu spoke, he didn't forget to pull together the pile of broken silver that he had just won in front of him, and then row it into the money bag.
Liu Jixiang glanced outward, and said to Eunuch Lu: "Or, you will take Xiao Wei to the armory to have a look?" We're going to go to the celebrant later. ”
"It's okay, it's okay today anyway." Eunuch Lu said and got up with the money bag.
Liu Jixiang also stood up and said to Liangchen: "You can tell Gonggong Lu about specific things." If you want anything, you can make a list and go back to check out. ”
As soon as he heard that he could personally go to the armory to choose something, Liangchen was particularly surprised, and hurriedly got up and thanked Liu Jixiang.
Liu Jixiang smiled and said a few words, then went out, and as soon as he left, Liangchen hurriedly opened his mouth to flatter Eunuch Lu a few words, and Eunuch Lu accepted it, smiled and waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's say a few words, let's take a look at the place first." The armory is not in the Imperial City. ”
"Father-in-law, please!"
After following Eunuch Lu out of the military battle bureau and outside the Xihua Gate, Liangchen apologized to Eunuch Lu, waved his hand to summon Chen Mo, and asked him to return to Zuo'anmen with Xiao Tian immediately, and let Zheng Duo go to the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division to ask for a sum of money and send it to him quickly.
