Chapter Forty-Eight: The Planter Has Made a Fortune
In fact, this question should not be asked by Chong Heng, because since the emperor is going to do this, he will naturally tell the Chong family what he wants to do, that is to say, the emperor will send an edict to Yunzhou City to clarify the intentions of the imperial court.
At that time, Xuantong will naturally understand how to do it, as for the big young man in front of him, he is actually just a delivery person, and the reason why he was chosen to deliver it is because there is no more suitable person in the capital.
After hearing Chong Heng's question, Li Xin smiled faintly: "Why should Chong Shao be anxious, when you arrive in Yunzhou City, Chong Shuai will naturally tell you something." ”
Chong Heng slowly exhaled a breath and said, "I know that it is inconvenient for Hou Ye Li to say, but I am talking too much." ”
It's true that he's talkative.
When Li Xin talks to the Son of Heaven, he can talk about it at will, but when it is magnified to the national level, because it involves the Son of Heaven, this is actually the highest level of national decision-making, and it is a national decision that has not yet been completely decided.
This kind of thing can't be said everywhere with a big tongue, even if Li Xin can bear the consequences, but if he talks too much, he may not be able to touch this kind of national-level decision-making in the future.
However, the seed family is still not easy to offend, the Marquis of Jing'an smiled, and said: "After Chong Shao sends things to Yunzhou City, everything will be settled, I don't tell you too many things at this time, because some things have not yet been determined, maybe there will be changes in a few days, if I say it wrong, Chong Shao will also blame me for deceiving people." ”
Chong Heng bowed his head slightly.
"Marquis Li is too polite, you are the crown prince and the secretary of the military department, there is no reason to lie to me, this little chief soldier."
"It's not interesting to be promoted."
The Marquis of Jing'an smiled casually: "I also know that I have been idle at home for the past few years, I haven't taken care of things, and my official position is just a name. ”
"Hou Ye Li is polite."
Chong Heng stood up, bowed his head and said, "Hou Ye Li, I want to take a look at these ordnance from the Ministry of War, I don't know if it's inconvenient." ”
Chong Heng also went to Yunzhou City to be a soldier since he was sixteen years old, and it was not until a few years ago that he was sent back to the capital by Chong Xuantong and asked him to be a military attache in the capital, so this young man is still very interested in weapons.
Li Xin stood up happily, nodded and said: "The quality of the weapons created by the Ordnance Supervision this time is very good, I have already checked it, so I will take a look at it." ”
After saying this, Li Xin got up, put his hands in the sleeves in front of him, and Chong Heng also learned from the Marquis of Jing'an, and the two of them walked in the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion one after the other.
After a while, the young man sighed.
"Master Hou's house is really eye-opening, much more magnificent than the house I planted in the capital."
Li Houye shook his head slightly: "It's also picking up other people's old houses, don't hide the seeds, until today, I haven't walked through this house, it's not a good thing if the house is too big, it's a hard thing to walk from the front door to the back door." ”
Chong Heng smiled.
"When Hou Ye Li said this, I don't know how many people in the capital are going to hit the pillar."
No matter what era, it is not easy to have a house in the capital, when Li Xin came to this world at the beginning, if there was no help from His Royal Highness King Wei, only by virtue of his busy selling carbon in the proud building, it would take at least two or three years to buy a small house in Datongfang.
As for the house in Yongle Fang, money can't buy it.
The two of them had already reached the back door, and on the street outside the back door, there were a full twenty-eight carts parked, and next to each cart, there were more than a dozen black-clothed feather forest guards guarding them, Li Xin took Chong Heng to the side of one of the big cars, and casually pulled out a standard long knife from it and threw it to Chong Heng.
He pulled out the long knife with a "bang", first knocked the blade with his hand, and after listening to the sound in his ear, he looked at the blade in the light, and then sighed.
"Good knives."
After speaking, Chong Dashao climbed into the cart by himself, pulled out six or seven handfuls from it in one go, and looked at them one by one, and then he raised his head and smiled at Li Xin.
"What Master Hou said is right, the ordnance supervisor is very willing to use materials, this batch of knives is very good, compared to the current saber in Yunzhou City, it is a whole grade better."
The Marquis of Jing'an said with a smile: "When they sent things here that day, I was drooling and almost wanted to detain dozens of them. ”
Li Xin is also a military general, he has been in the army for many years, and naturally loves knives.
Chong Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you ...... tomorrow I left fifty handfuls for Master Hou? ”
Li Xin smiled and shook his head.
"Just kidding, don't hurt me, how to say that I am also the secretary of the Ministry of War, this batch of things has passed through my hands, if you stay some, the people of Yushitai will investigate it, and I will have nothing to say."
Chong Dashao grinned at Li Xin.
"Are you still afraid of the people of the Imperial Tower?"
"How can you not be afraid?"
The Marquis of Jing'an said solemnly: "As long as you are an official in the court, you will be afraid of the Imperial Historical Tower." ”
Chong Heng didn't say anything, just smiled: "I'll take a look at the armor bow and crossbow again." ”
Originally, he was only a delivery of this batch of goods, and he did not have the right to check it, but because this batch of ordnance was sent to Yunzhou City, that is, it was given to his home, so this young man was so concerned and came to check it in person.
Li Xin was like an old man, with both hands in his sleeves, and said indifferently.
"Planting less is arbitrary."
Chong Heng is also a person who has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his hand is very agile, he jumped up and down a few times on several carts, took out a few pieces of armor and a few crossbow arrows and looked at them, and then jumped down and grinned at Li Xin.
"The swords and armor are very good, but the crossbow arrows are almost meaningless, but there is no need to break the armor in Yunzhou City, this kind of crossbow arrows is enough."
During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there were still a lot of armor in the Yuwen Tribe, but they retreated to the back of Guan, because of the extreme lack of iron weapons, so the armor was almost all leather armor, and there was no iron armor anymore.
This young man is very happy.
"Thank you, Hou Ye, for being busy."
This batch of things, after arriving in Yunzhou City, went into the pocket of the family army, and it can even be regarded as the private property of his family army, and he got so many good things for nothing, he can't help but be unhappy.
The Marquis of Jing'an said with a smile: "These things were personally ordered by His Majesty, and almost all of the three million yuan allocated by the household department were used in practice, even if these things were sold outside at the market price, at least the price was doubled. ”
There was a smile in the corner of his eyes, but he shook his head with a serious face.
"Hou Ye's words are not right, this is given by the imperial court to the soldiers of the Yunzhou army, the Yunzhou army is the army of the imperial court, how can I get rich as a farmer?"
Marquis Jing'an smiled slightly.
"Then why don't you invite this meal?"
"Please, please, naturally."
Chong Heng said with a smile: "It's just that I'm going to set off for the north tomorrow, if Master Hou is not free tonight, then he can only wait for me to come back." ”
The Marquis of Jing'an said with a smile: "Chong Shao has to hurry tomorrow, forget it tonight, and wait for Chong Shao to return to Beijing." ”
Chong Heng nodded quickly.
"Then it's settled."
